Chapter 88: fool's luck or protagonist's luck
This did not show any bad side other than pure interest in knowledge. This made Dumbledore look at Jack differently. After all, knowing that Jack is related to him, he will think more about Jack and it is slightly partial.
"No wonder Nicolas supported Jack." He really is a genius just like me. Dumbledore became proud because he felt that Jack is similar to him in this aspect. Also he found that Jack did not have any interest in fame or power.
This can be explained by how Jack did not care about joining the Quidditch team. Also Jack only ever tells is about the problem with rules and safety but not a single word out of line. This made him reexamine his standing towards Jack.
Now Jack is his own person and a close relative like a son so his way of thinking towards Jack would be different too. Being partial is human nature. If a human is not partial then there is something wrong with his brain.
......…..
On November 7th,
Jack was also at the Quidditch stands. Originally he doesn't want to come and watch the show. But he was pulled over by other girls. Romilda was one of them and a close one at that. She was holding the hand of Jack happily.
Also she thought that she has a good chance to be close to Jack because neither of Daphne or pansy is here. Right now they are on the opposite side on the Slytherin stand. They are a little sad because Jack is not with them.
But they did not feel any jealousy about this. The senses of women are far stronger than men when it comes to reading the feelings of other women. Romilda saw this and her proud face changed.
She started to think of the words that Jack spoke to her before. Looking at pansy and Daphne, she felt that it is not bad to share Jack with them. Sometimes realization can come from very simple things.
If she can get Jack now she can be close to him like this for the next few years and be even closure after the school is over and she graduates. Thinking of this she has decided to speak to Jack about this matter and confess to him about her love.
She has decided to share Jack with pansy and Daphne and get love from Jack. Thinking of this she held Jack's arms even closure to her. Jack felt some squashy feeling around his hand making him fell happy.
At that time both Ginny and Hermione looked at the scene and their expressions are a little complicated. Ginny was not under the control of Tom riddle all the time. But she cannot break free and speak about this to other people.
This can be proved by the way she threw the diary of top riddle at one time in the original plot. She is looking at Jack pitifully thinking that if Jack noticed her, he would help her from her current situation.
As for Hermione, she is having a complicated expression. Her favorability also increased, but it is not on the same level as other people. Her mental fortitude is much stronger than other girls.
No wonder she has achieved all those things and become the minister of magic at the later parts. The most important thing that proves her mental fortitude is she was taking care of the stupidest person like Ron all that time.
Her mental fortitude is really strong. Jack sighed as he was lucky to pull her towards him before and even get her first kiss. Even though the impression she had on him is not right but still Jack can use that to his advantage at the later stages.
While thinking about these things, Jack continued with his usual work. But there is one thing that made him astounded. The trio has two suspects for the heir of Slytherin instead of just one in the original plot.
One is Draco and the other is himself. Yes they still suspect him to be the heir of Slytherin even now and they wanted to verify it. To verify the identity of Draco they are naturally brewed the Polyjuice potion right by the side of the entrance of the chamber of secrets.
He doesn't know that fools can really be luck. Only seeing these three people, Harry, Ron and Hermione have confirmed that fools or the protagonists are really lucky. They are fine staying in the most dangerous place.
During their time, the bathroom where the entrance to the chamber of secrets is present was visited by them many times. But they did not encounter the basilisk even once during the entire time.
Just making the Polyjuice potion would take around a month and they have to come here frequently during the money. Hermione is even present here for a long time staying here to control the cauldron brewing the Polyjuice potion.
But they did not encounter the basilisk during the entire time. They did not even once encounter the basilisk or even its shadow. It should be called the plot armor or protagonist armor or the luck of the fools.
Whatever it might be, it has made Jack astounded because of causing such a strange incident. Also he did not want to get into their hands which are dangerous because of their luck or plot protection that is too strong.
You can win against a strong opponent and a wise opponent but you cannot win against a lucky opponent because it is almost invincible thing. The entire world would come to their aid when needed unexplainably. Jack did not bother with them anymore and continued with his thing.
But the trio did not leave him alone. They wanted to verify if Jack is the heir of Slytherin or not. For this Hermione took the lead to communicate with Jack. Neither Harry nor Ron has any objection to the volunteering of Hermione.
