Chapter 31: killing the troll, snatching the credit
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.
Also he was leisure enough to hit him making it look like an accidental hit when leaving quickly from this place. Hitting him at a specific angle with his intentions to hit can cause heavy damage to the opposite person.
So Percy got a strong hit from Jack and even broke a bone or two in his body. The surrounding students of his class and Gryffindor did not have a choice but to take him to infirmary while someone else took the remaining students to the common room.
This delayed the teachers for a few seconds and Jack reached the women's toilet right at that time. He came here right when Ron uses the levitation spell to lift the club from the hands of the troll.
Instead of Ron, Jack used the levitation spell which made Ron think that he succeed in using the spell. Before he could realize what is happening Jack has completed the important step of the plot of troll incident.
"Wingardium Leviosa"
Hermione on the other hand standing on the opposite side saw Jack casting the spell. Ron tried to move his wand wanting to move the club that is floating in the air. But the club did not move.
He looked at the club just like the troll looking at the club with stupid face. Well there is no particular difference between their expressions, except for their appearance. They are both stupid.
"It is not moving."
Also he did not understand that his spell is not the one controlling the club. Hermione looked and Harry that was also looked at Jack finding that he is the one controlling the club of the troll right now.
Jack waved his hand and the club acted like a baseball bat and hit the head of the troll right on the top of his head. Right at that instant, the professors that are few seconds late appeared at the entrance behind Jack.
They saw Jack using levitation spell to use the club to hit the head of the troll and it was dead after that one hit. They all know that Jack was good with this spell and even used it to save Neville before.
At the same time in the morning class of charms under professor Flitwick, Jack shared his experience to help his class mates gaining another 10 house points. After all, he used this spell before to save Neville.
Right now the actions of Jack did not seem dangerous, but the actions of Harry and Ron are dangerous because they did not inform the teachers before coming to this dangerous place wanting to fight a troll (To save Hermione was forgotten).
Professor Snape moved forward to check the troll confirming its death because of the heavy blow on its head causing its brain to be damaged and die on the spot. The body of the 12 foot tall troll lied down in the women's toilet, almost occupying the entire place.
Hermione crawled out of the place with her messy hair. Professor Flitwick that witnessed the entire incident started to praise Jack while professor Mcgonagall started to criticize Harry and Ron for their impulsiveness.
Hermione interjected with a lie to save Harry and Ron. Unfortunately Jack spoke at that time exposing her lie completely. This way she also got reprimanded. He did not fear them drifting apart as he has other plans in the future.
"Miss Granger, you should not lie to professors when your life was just in a dangerous situation right now. It might have caused the death of others too if it was not for me to call the professors here quickly.
Even then it was very dangerous. You should not support the impulsive people because one day they might face the unthinkable because of this impulsiveness. It should be corrected at the early age…."
The professors nodded their heads and even Snape looked at approvingly towards Jack this time. Well he wanted nothing to happen to Harry but this Harry like his father jumps at everything he sees.
So he was angry with Harry. But the words of Jack had clearly given him excuse to punish Harry to set him straight for his love towards Harry's mother lily. But the words of Jack had clearly given him excuse to punish Harry to set him straight for his love towards lily.
Well he was even thinking of a way to turn Harry into a girl with a potion and see if he would look like lily. That is not all he even had thoughts of reviving lily using Harry as a medium. Over time his love and thoughts are twisted to some extent.
Well he has many thoughts right now and he is not fully committed to Dumbledore's stupid suicide plan. But he cannot show his true thoughts out and wait till Dumbledore could not protect Harry or he got a proper opportunity.
...….
With that Harry and Ron received punishment instead of being praised. As for Hermione, she is just a victim and she was not punished for this matter. Jack received 20 house points from the professors present, but Harry and Ron lost 100 house points.
That is 50 house points each which decreased the house score. Jack doesn't want to lose the house cup but he doesn't want it to be obtained through the efforts of Ron and Harry. So he shot off his mouth in a righteous way.
There not even a single point that professors or students alike can refute from the words of Jack. So things are solved and Jack returned back to the dorm. On the other hand Percy that was hit by Jack was actually placed in the hospital wing.
