Chapter 116: I can peek into the future
If he wanted that kind of lifeless thing he can just buy some toys instead of looking for people. After the week a small man came to the Malfoy mansion. It was professor Flitwick. He came here to take Jack for the dueling tournament.
The dueling tournament will be held at Italy in the Colosseum in Rome. It was for the wizards dueling just like the gladiator dueling back in the days. Also dueling tournament takes long time to complete.
So they will have to go there and stay there for a few days. The number of participants is in hundreds and the minimum age for joining is actually 14 years old. Usually the people come here to participate for gaining experience.
Well not everyone can participate as there is a registration fee of 1 gold galleon. The winner gets 10 thousand gold galleons. Unlike the Triwizard tournament that is an inter school event this is a national level event.
So the price money is also high. Other than that there are few special accessories and blessings of the gods. This is a different form of tangible things. The blessing comes from a strange formation of the Colosseum that was built in the ancient era over 1000+ years ago.
Jack came here and enrolled by professor Flitwick. Today is the preliminary matches. The registration tile would last till 12 in the noon of that day. After that the preliminary matches start. Also the Colosseum is fully automated.
The entered names are directly taken in by the mechanisms of the Colosseum and they would call in the candidates for the match at random. Jack registered early in the morning after they settled down at a hotel.
After registering they went to eat something and talked as they walked. The conversation with professor Flitwick was very pleasant.
"Hey Jack, You did not seem like a normal young man. Instead you always appeared to be an experienced person. May be because of the situations of the black family you have matured more than others. Sorry that I said this…."
Professor Flitwick said this as he spoke something out of order. But it was in his mind for a long time. The feeling he gets from talking with Jack is always like talking with an experienced man that saw through the life.
But Jack is still a young man with dashing appearance. So this puzzled him very much. He even thought that Jack was actually possessed by ghost of an old man. It is something common in the wizarding world.
Unfortunately the art of possession has long since gone and it cannot be done in the current time. But all those thoughts are just his imagination as if something like that happen then professor Dumbledore should have already seen through that.
This is his thoughts when he spoke. "No professor Flitwick, it is nothing like that. It is just a little secret. Hope you keep it a secret too…."
When Jack said this and stopped he casted a sound canceling ward around them making professor Flitwick more curious. He wanted to know what Jack is going to tell him. After casting the silencing ward Jack spoke.
"When I had my first magic riot, I got this strange ability to peek into the future. But it is not complete and I did not have a control over this ability. So sometimes I know things that would happen before.
Some things are inevitable like the death of my grandmother. I have to harden my heart so that I would not be depressed. So naturally I mature faster than other people in my mentality according to my situation and acts faster than others sometimes.
This time I had a premonition about peter Pettigrew that was said to be killed by my father. It seems that he is still alive and framed my father. Also he is an Animagus and hiding in the form of a fat rat."
Listening to the words of Jack, professor Flitwick was shocked opening his little mouth. But he did not believe half of it. He did not speak about it because he did not want to break Jack's confidence before the duel.
He is very good at understanding his students and giving them psychological counseling for them. Soon after that the competition started. Jack was standing in his position and it was like a small box.
Every participant would have a box and they will be transported to their designated battle at random by the magical array. Jack's battles are extremely fast. Even though he could not make potions with his memories he can still fight very well.
His reflexes are top notch. Also all the spells he used are harmless spell. Mostly the disarming spell Expelliarmus was used to disarm the wand in the hands of his opponents or send them flying based on their attitude and arrogance.
Soon the matches moved to the top 10 which was basically displayed in the huge Colosseum just like the gladiator battles. The person that is facing Jack is from Durmstrang. Unlike the previous opponents this person looked a little vicious and arrogant.
After they made the wizards etiquette, he immediately casted the Fiendfyre spell at Jack. It is almost like he wanted to destroy Jack and kill him. Even though there is security measures and protection it is still dangerous. Jack looked at it and did not move.
"That kid is so bold to use such a spell in the competitions."
"Well this is the world where one has to protect themselves from all kinds of evil wizards. So they should at least fight casually to this level."
"Is using the Fiendfyre spell called fighting casually?"
"The other person seems to be shocked out of his wits and was directly in the line of getting attacked by the Fiendfyre."
"It should be fine the magic array has protection mechanism. Unless they can break the array they will not be able to kill the opponent."
