Summary: Dumbledore was wrong about the ‘power he knows not.’

Author’s Notes: This was the result of an odd dream that I had a couple of nights ago. I’d eventually like to expand this idea into a novel-length fic.

Dumbledore was wrong.

In the end, ‘the power he knows not’ wasn’t anything as intangible as love. Nor was it a spectacular or rare magical ability, or a connection to any long-dead famous wizard.

No, ‘the power he knows not’ was something else entirely: a ring.

A small, green power ring, to be exact.

Now, Harry idly plays with the ring as he stands on the ramparts of Hogwarts, looking out at Voldemort’s approaching army. Thrusting his fist skyward, Harry throws his head back and begins to chant as a green glow surrounds him:

“In brightest day, in blackest night…”

Thanks! I’m trying to get into writing fiction again. (I've been writing nothing but essays and articles for the past seven years.) This was my first attempt, so hearing something positive about it helps.

Also, I think that Harry might actually make a good Lantern. His boggart is a dementor, so that means that Harry’s greatest fear is fear itself. Plus, I believe he’s very strong-willed—at least when it matters. After all, it was partly his own determination that allowed him to survive Voldemort and the Priori Incantatem in the graveyard.

As long as Harry never has to face any rogue Hufflepuffs, he should be fine. =op

I’m kidding, of course. If I do decide to expand this story, Harry’s ring won’t have that stupid weakness to yellow—or wood for that matter. (Although the image of Voldemort in canary yellow robes and a wooden helmet is rather amusing.)

Thanks again for reading and commenting!
