The next evening, Harry gathered Hermione and Ron in the Room of Requirement, the flickering candles casting a warm glow over their faces. He felt a mix of excitement and trepidation, knowing that their lives were about to change forever.
"Guys," Harry began, taking a deep breath. "There's something important I need to share with you. Something about my family and the fight we're in."
Ron and Hermione exchanged curious glances, their expressions shifting from curiosity to concern as Harry continued. He explained the Brotherhood, the Templars, and the ancient legacy of the Potters.
When he revealed the existence of the Staff of Eden and their encounter in the Forbidden Forest, Ron's jaw dropped. "You fought Templars? Like, real-life bad guys?"
"Yes," Harry confirmed. "And they're after the fragment we found. It's powerful, and we need to protect it."
Hermione's eyes widened, a mixture of fear and determination flickering across her face. "Harry, this is... this is huge. But you're not alone in this, right?"
"Exactly," Harry said, feeling a surge of gratitude for his friends. "I can't do this without you."
Ron nodded, his usual bravado surfacing. "So, what's the plan? Are we gonna go all Assassin's Creed on them?"
Harry chuckled, grateful for Ron's humor. "Something like that. We need to find more allies — others who can help us in this fight. We're facing a threat that could endanger both our worlds."
As they discussed their next steps, Harry felt the weight of their shared resolve settle in the room. Together, they would face the shadows that threatened their future.
