Chapter 30: calling for professors instead of saving people
He acted just like everyone. With that the suspicion on him was shifted to the mysterious person that is hunting unicorn in the forbidden forest. Dumbledore thought that it was the remnant of the death eaters or some other dark wizard that has grudge against him.
After all Jack was living in someone's house from the age of 5 or 6 which means he is not mature enough for this kind of planning. At least that is what Dumbledore thought as this kind of elaborate thing requires planning for a long time.
Also Jack did not have much motive and did not do anything out of the place. Even when warning others like Hermione and Neville, he did it openly and did not do things secretly like a sneaking villain.
Another important point is that Dumbledore did not tell anyone other than McGonagall that he wanted to let Harry participate in the Quidditch team of Gryffindor. He only gave a present to Harry potter which should not cause such a stir.
He simply could not believe that an 11 or 12 year old could plan something so elaborate with such small information and create this level of mess easily. So the suspicion on Jack is just momentary and he just put him on the observation list.
It was the Halloween day that is 31st of the October. Jack was ready. Also during this time he changed his style a little and the green wand usually seen rotating around his fingers like a pin wheel.
It was like a childish mesmerizing act to attract attention of the children of that age. Well it is understandable as Jack did not have any family and he seeks attention to prove his identity or gain the attention of others of his age.
It made the other teachers feel pity towards Jack and even appreciated him a little sometimes for his efforts. By himself Jack has gained over 100 points for Gryffindor during this time just by gaining the appreciation for his knowledge and efforts in various things.
Hermione admired him, Daphne loved him more. Pansy on the other hand avoided him after his kiss on her cheek last time in the train. Well even if she speaks harshly she would blush when Jack touches his lips looking at her.
So she started to avoid him more. Harry and Ron are receiving help from Hermione in their studies without proper appreciation. They did not show her proper appreciation and they even started to talk bad behind her back. It is especially Ron that talks more.
This created rift between them during this time and finally on the day of the Halloween Ron's words were clearly heard by Hermione and caused Hermione to become angry and broke the bond between them temporarily.
Just like the original plot Hermione became sad and cried all evening in the women's bathroom. Jack came to the Halloween feast and completed his feast early. Then came out of the great hall and walked towards the direction where Hermione is.
On the way he encountered professor Quirrell that is in full acting of his own. Jack did not disturb him instead went along with his plan. Before coming out of the great hall he heard someone asking where Hermione is.
They told that person the situation and location of Hermione. Jack was there and listened to it. This can be used as a way to escape from suspicion. Jack waited in the corridor for a few seconds till he saw a troll coming towards the women's bathroom.
Immediately he turned around and went towards the great hall. On the way he saw Harry and Ron that just passed by him with panicked faces. They are going to save Hermione. But Jack has other plans.
When he returned to great hall wanting to start his act and get the good benefits, he immediately heard the sarcastic words of Percy. Percy is the prefect of the Gryffindor and he was told to take the students out of this place.
"Hey what are you doing going around looking like a fool. There is a troll out there going around. Don't try to mess with others and kill people like your father. Come and get in the line."
Jack became angry but did not show it on his face. The people that scolded him before in his previous life have ended up in the situations worse than death. Jack looked at him without any smile on his face.
He did not have time to bicker with Percy, but Percy caught his hand while he was leaving to find professor Flitwick or professor Mcgonagall or other people. Jack was stronger than other people for his age because of the constant training.
Percy on the other hand has good head weight but his physical power is far worse. Jack directly pulled his hand, pulling along Percy to fall on the floor when Jack slapped on his face making him to fall while rolling.
Jack did not care about Percy as it was race against time. He immediately entered the great hall and looked at the professors that are discussing something instead of acting to subdue the troll.
They can use the magic to locate the troll. They can trace students but cannot trace a troll with magic. How funny. This kind of thing is plot holes. They just don't want to use anything to solve the problem properly.
"Professors, I have spotted a troll going towards the women's bathroom and Hermione is trapped there based on the words of some students. Please come quickly." Jack said and he ran back toward the woman's toilet.
While he is running he kicked Percy that was about to stand up to fall on the floor again. Jack might not look like it but he has good amount of bone density making him weight more than kids of his age….
