Chapter 84: inheritance ritual is completed
The people from the ministry started to track and they will stay at Hogwarts for the time being till they catch the basilisk and take it back. But Jack did not plan for them to catch it as it was a treasure that he wanted to collect.
It is a beast that is living for a long time. Its body parts have matured to a very high level. The quality of these things was so great that they can cost millions of gold galleons. So Jack is planning to take the chance to collect the entire thing after Harry potter killed it.
There is a small gap between the time Harry potter killed it and he was saved by Dumbledore and other. Also there is a small time where Ginny wakes up and sees Harry saving her. But Jack was going to occupy these things.
He will be there when the entire thing happened and he hides in the spot to check the situation, just in case if something unexpected happens. Even if Jack tries he cannot kill the basilisk as smoothly as the protagonist Harry could kill it.
Even though he has pulled out the information about the chamber of secrets and involved the ministry of magic this would not change the plot by much. The biggest change would be the reduction in the number of victims.
There are two more girl victims. One should be Hermione and other is Penelope Clearwater. They might or might not be petrified after the change Jack made just now. He is currently waiting to see how things would correct themselves.
But he was sure that Hermione has more chance of getting petrified as she is important for the progress of the plot. While thinking he was planning to proceed with his other plan related to inheritance.
He already got all the materials he needed for the process. Because of the opening of the chamber of secrets, the school was in strict curfew. So, not many people would disturb Jack during the night.
With the confidence Jack went to the room of requirements that night. Today they were taught about the chamber of secrets because of the question from Hermione. Jack heard this and smiled while shaking his head.
This was noticed by Ron and he still thinks that Jack is the heir of Slytherin. But both Hermione and Harry did not believe him. Jack saw this and laughed it off simply. Even though they already knew they wanted more detailed information so Hermione asked.
Now he is in the room of requirements and started to draw the magic circle following the strange parchment that he got from his mother's secret box. After drawing the circle he started to put various materials at their respective places mentioned in the parchment.
Then he stripped off all of his clothes and came to the designated place of the magic circle where he has to stand. Also the parchment with small magic circle was placed under his feet. Then he took his magic wand and held it in his hand to start the magic circle.
The magic energy started to pass through the parchment with magic circle under his feet and immediately the entire magic circle lit up. Whenever the material in an area was lit up the corresponding part of the magic circle in the parchment also lights up.
It is as if checking the quality, quantity and other things of the corresponding materials. With everything in place at the right quality, quantity and other things to fit the ritual of inheritance to start, the parchment under the feet of Jack started to burn.
Even though there is flame Jack did not feel any warmth at all. Instead the materials that he placed in the surrounding magic circles turned into a liquid of certain viscosity and started to flow through the magic circles.
They started to mix in at various junctions forming a final potion like thing and entered the magic circle where Jack is currently standing. There is a magic barrier formed around in the ring where Jack is standing and a lot of pressure has appeared on his body.
He is barely standing using all of his strength based on the instructions in the parchment. When the mixed liquid came in to the magic circle he is standing it went straight into the burning flames of the parchment.
Right at that time a strange gas is released. The moment that gas touched the skin of Jack he felt an endless pain which made him think that his body is melting layer by layer. Soon the barrier space inside where he is standing is completely filled with the gas.
Jack started to scream but no sound came out of the barrier. The barrier is for containing Jack and the gas from going out before the completion of the process. With the colorful gas filling up inside the barrier Jack is not longer visible from the outside.
Along with the liquid the magic circle also started to vanish and recede towards the circle that Jack is standing inside right now. The endless pain lasted for 7 hours of time before the gas inside the barrier became transparent.
Jack inside looked like a standing statue made of sand. His screaming appearance was clearly outlined by the sand sculpture. The process did not end here. There is still more to it and it is not a physical pain but mental pain.
The parchment below started to send lines of test passing from his feet to his head like snakes and worms breaking the statues bit by bit and enter into the mind of Jack. His body visibly trembled more and more crumbling the sand layer about his skin falling down on the floor.
The parchment below sent the information strands into the mind of Jack for 3 hours before the parchment lost its paper texture and revealed the final golden sheet of paper like a certificate.
