AT HOGWARTS,
Hogwarts stood restless beneath the darkening sky, as if the ancient castle itself sensed the approaching storm. Inside the Headmaster's room, Harry Potter and his friends stood unmoving, Dumbledore's diary still held tightly in their hands. The silence around them was heavy, filled with shock, unanswered questions, and an unshakable feeling that the peace they had known was slipping away.
Footsteps suddenly echoed through the corridor, fast and uneven. The door burst open and Madam Pomfrey rushed in, her face pale with urgency.
"Another problem has arisen," she said, struggling to catch her breath.
Everyone stood at once.
Hagrid leaned forward anxiously."What? What happened? Please explain clearly."
Madam Pomfrey steadied herself before answering."It's Miss Sybill Trelawney. After looking into her Crystal Ball, she started behaving strangely."
Without wasting a second, Harry, Ron, and Hermione hurried through the winding corridors toward the Divination tower, their hearts pounding. Something was terribly wrong, and they could feel it with every step.
Inside the dimly lit cabin, Miss Trelawney stood trembling, her eyes unfocused, her lips moving in a whisper meant for no one in the room.
"What happened?" Harry asked softly.
Before she could respond, Miss Amelia entered the cabin, followed by Madam Miss Minerva McGonagall and Hagrid. Luna, Astoria, Draco, and Neville followed closely, drawn by the tension in the air.
Suddenly, Miss Trelawney straightened, her voice rising unnaturally.
"DANGER!"
The word echoed like a crack of thunder.
"Danger is looming over Hogwarts. Another dark spirit is going to rise. Destruction is coming. Voldemort will lose… yet the Dark King will arise."
A chill swept through everyone present.
"Stopping him is impossible," she continued, her voice hollow."He will kill everyone. Voldemort's real motive is to bring the Dark King back. The Dark King is still alive… in spirit form."
Miss Amelia rushed forward and held her firmly.
"Tell us what you saw," she urged."Who is the Dark King? What is Voldemort's motive?"
Miss Trelawney's strength faded."Danger… escape from the Dark King…" she whispered, collapsing.
Miss Amelia and Professor McGonagall caught her before she fell.
Miss Amelia looked up, fear clear in her eyes."What do we do now?"
Professor McGonagall answered without hesitation."We must be more careful than ever. And we must train all students well."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stepped forward together.
"Whatever the problem is," Harry said firmly,"whether it's huge or worse than anything we've faced, we will stay united."
"We will protect Hogwarts and all the students," Ron added."At any cost."
"Even if it means sacrifice," Hermione said quietly."We are ready."
They joined hands, sealing their promise.
"I'm good at protection and shielding," Hermione continued,"and recently I've learned advanced magic from Draco's Dark Arts books."
"Harry and I are good at protecting people and planning," Ron said.
"Draco and Neville are strong in battle spells," Hermione added.
Luna smiled gently."I'm a healer."
"Ginny is a warrior," Hermione said.
Ginny stepped forward, determination in her eyes."Yes. We are ready."
Draco and Neville shook hands firmly. Luna held Hermione's hand and tapped her shoulder with quiet appreciation. One by one, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Astoria, Draco, and Neville joined hands, forming an unbreakable circle.
From a distance, George, Arthur, and Molly Weasley watched with pride. George suddenly ran toward them.
"I'm joining too," he said."I'll take revenge on Voldemort for troubling everyone."
Hermione smiled warmly."You've always been part of the team, George."
Ron sighed."I hope you don't crack jokes on everyone."
George grinned."First, I'll crack jokes on my little brother."
Laughter briefly eased the tension.
Arthur stepped forward."I'm proud of all of you. You remind me of your old battles."
Molly nodded."They are Hogwarts students—brave and intelligent."
Hagrid moved closer."Will you include me too?"
"Yes," Harry answered without hesitation.
Miss Amelia sprinkled water on Miss Trelawney, bringing her back to her senses. Harry stepped forward, emotion filling his voice.
"We are who we are because of you," he said."And Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Madam Pomfrey. You always stood for every life. We are deeply indebted to you."
Tears filled Miss Amelia's and Professor McGonagall's eyes.
"As a teacher," McGonagall said softly, touching Harry's cheek,"I see James's bravery and Lily's kindness in you. Your unity… even Draco's change… Dumbledore would have been proud."
She hugged Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Miss Amelia followed, holding them close.
Hagrid tapped Draco's shoulder appreciatively.
"Ah!" Draco shouted in pain.
At that moment, Miss Amelia's bracelet began to glow—violet and black. Her expression changed instantly.
A cruel laughter echoed throughout Hogwarts.
"HA HA HA HAHAHAHA!"
Students screamed as Voldemort's voice filled the castle.
"No one can escape from me."
Teachers rushed to calm the students as Harry, his friends, Hagrid, Miss Amelia, Professor McGonagall, and Madam Pomfrey hurried to the dining hall.
"Your protection cannot save them anymore, Miss Amelia," Voldemort mocked."Your heroes are pawns. I will kill them brutally. Submit to me as your Dark Ruler. I am Voldemort the Great."
Fire erupted across the hall.
"Fight me!" Harry shouted."Not my friends!"
Voldemort laughed.
Flames surged higher.
Harry clutched his head as Voldemort tried to control his mind.
Ginny held Hugo and Lily Luna tightly. Neville and Draco stopped students from running.
"Aguamenti!" Professor McGonagall cried.
"Glacius!" Hermione shouted.
Nothing worked.
Miss Amelia rose into the air, whispering Dumbledore's name.
"Protego Maxima."
A powerful shield formed. She drew another wand made with Dragon Flames.
"Glacius!"
The fire vanished instantly.
"You are great, Miss Amelia," Professor McGonagall said.
Hagrid stared in awe at the ancient wand.
Silence followed.
Miss Amelia suddenly rushed toward the terrace. Harry turned quickly.
"Neville, Draco—take care of everything. I'll come back."
Ron and Hermione followed Harry without question.
On the terrace, glowing magical circles cracked and weakened.
"Oh no," Miss Amelia whispered."What is happening?"
"The shield is weakening," Ron said.
"I think Voldemort is growing stronger," Miss Amelia said."The Dark King must never rise."
Hermione held her gently."Calm down."
"How can we?" Ron asked."Our children are in danger."
Harry thought deeply before speaking.
"I will never let danger enter Hogwarts," he said firmly.
Ron nodded."We'll stay with you."
Miss Amelia opened her bag.
"I must give you something important."
She handed Hermione the Book of Selene Ravenclaw, Ron a red magical cloth, and Harry an ancient wand.
"This wand belonged to Godric Gryffindor," she revealed."You carry Gryffindor blood. Your family has always stood against darkness."
She looked at Harry steadily."And legend speaks of your son—James Sirius Potter."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione promised to protect the artifacts.
Far away, in his dark palace, Voldemort smiled.
And deep beneath Hogwarts, James Sirius Potter and his friends reached the Hufflepuff Fort.
