Chapter 25: Truth and lies, chatting with Dumbledore
"Professor, you should not ask this kind of question. There is always right and wrong in many things. Based on the history I studied muggles ones branded wizards and witches as evil and tried to exterminate us.
At that time the pure blooded families formed into a force that stopped the muggles from exterminating the wizards and witches using their flesh and blood as the shield. They saved the wizarding society.
This has created the current wizarding society that is hiding from the normal world. But when there is war there are losses of life. This loss of life breeds to hatred and the hatred is converted into prejudice.
This is the difference between the pure blood families and the muggle born wizards. Actually the muggle born wizards are also wizards from the same origin of the wizarding families. It is just the way you look at the things.
What happened in the past has already happened and I cannot target someone that did not have any connection with it pay the price. Hermione is a muggle born witch with good learning capabilities and understanding.
She needs to be well protected for the future of the wizarding world. I as a wizard and a part of the wizarding world would not want to blame her or other muggle born witches and wizards for things that happened centuries ago.
Even though my grandmother specifically said about the pure blood supremacy, I do not agree with her. May be because of my thoughts I was not selected into the Slytherin and was placed in Gryffindor…."
Jack mixed in truth and lie as he wanted to create a desired effect on Dumbledore. It worked well. Also Jack's special mind protection charm is in his hanging around his neck as a pendent protecting his mind.
It was specifically given to him by his grandmother to keep his mind from being polluted by other people with magic. As long as it was intact he doesn't have to fear about Dumbledore peeking into his mind.
He has too many secrets that he cannot let Dumbledore peek in. After the little talk with Jack, Dumbledore understood the nature of Jack and he became happy. He just like others thought that Jack is a pure blood enthusiast.
But he found that Jack is not like that and still has goodness in his heart. Also he divides a clear line between good and evil. Dumbledore was very much satisfied with the words of Jack in his answer to his question.
He did not have much doubt in Jack because he knows the life of Jack in Malfoy family and black family. After the small chat, Jack left the office of Dumbledore and came to Argus Flich to inform him about the incident during the night.
Filch told Jack that Draco has already informed him about this matter. Since there is another person that told him about this, he became more determined to catch the students that wander around during the night.
Filch is not so easy to talk. He is a squib even though his parents are both wizards. Being here watching students using magic easily is a form of torment to him that could not use magic. It is like rubbing chili powder on his wound.
But this is the job he got and there is pay along with food and stay. He cannot leave things be. So he became cranky and likes to catch and punish students more and more. With the entire thing set Jack returned to the dormitory. He was not free.
For the protagonist everything would come to him quickly with opportunities and special chances. But as a villain he has to earn everything with hard work. So he started to study things during his free time after dinner.
His home work is already completed that day. Now he was studying and noting down the plot that he remembered during from his previous life. It was useful to him. There is no person in the world that can say that they have absolute memory.
Forgetting a plot would lead to many problems. So he has to note it down and keep it safely in his special system space that only he can access. This way he would not have to worry about things suddenly happening.
On the other hand he studied other spells, charms, and things during his free time before sleeping. He did not forget to exercise and do some strong physical workout during this time. The fit body is needed in fighting in the future.
He learnt martial arts in his previous life for his safety. Now he is relearning it again and adapting it to the body. He is almost creating the muscle memory to make his body stronger other than being a wizard. This took a part of the time every day.
The extra 5 hours that he got from the time turner are spent like this every day. In the night Jack did not go out to check anything but he stayed in the common room sitting on one of the big chair near the fire pit reading a book.
On the other big chair Neville is sitting silently as if he was thinking something deeply. When it was late and the curfew hours are started, Harry and Ron suddenly came down the male dorm rooms.
They are preparing to go to the trophy room to uphold their end of the deal in the wizard duel set between them and Draco. Jack did not lift his head as he read the book during the time without saying a word.
Right then Hermione came out of the female dorms and tried to stop Harry and Ron from breaking the rules. Neville also moved out of his chair and said a few words to Harry and Ron trying to persuade them to stop.
But Ron is like a little devil in the ear of Harry singing the song about the pride of a wizard and the duty to uphold….
