Chapter 58: invitation letter to Rita Skeeter
As soon as she came out the flames behind her became intense. She was shocked to see that there are professors here with dead pan faces looking at her. She knows that the situation is not good.
The professors are angry at her for doing something so dangerous. But she was also relieved that the professors came at the right time. She quickly pointed at the next room and said "Harry just went in…"
...…..
Right then the room Jack was in was visited by two people that is professor Mcgonagall and professor Dumbledore. Professor Mcgonagall stopped by the side of Ron to take care and looked at the first aid that Jack gave to Ron.
She was really appreciative of Jack. Jack was actually preparing to take Ron outside using the levitation charm from here. But he stopped when he saw professor Mcgonagall and Dumbledore.
Professor Dumbledore and professor McGonagall saw a make shift stretcher that Jack made from the pieces of broken states with transfiguration. She was really impressed about this matter.
She just like professor Flitwick is paying close attention to Jack during this time. Now that she saw the progress that Jack made, she was thoroughly satisfied…cough….cough… not in that way.
With that she came to take care of the situation while Dumbledore moved fast towards the next rooms. In a matter of seconds he is already in the room where Hermione and the others are.
Dumbledore understood the situation and sighed deeply. He used his magic to split the flames and walked over followed professor Snape and professor Flitwick. They told Hermione to return back the way she came from and meet with professor Mcgonagall that is with Ron.
Hermione immediately remembered the situation of Ron and sent over to take a look. Right when she arrived at the chess room, she saw that Jack and professor Mcgonagall took care of Ron and they are taking him back.
She understood that it was Jack that called the professors and convinced them to come to their rescue. Well she felt good in her heart but also anger that she was caught by the professors because of Jack.
But she did not say anything and went along with Jack and professor Mcgonagall. Jack also did not say anything and moved along with them. While they are moving they suddenly heard a screaming sound which should be the dying Voldemort o professor Quirrell's scream.
Jack did not panic. But Hermione panicked fearing that Harry got into trouble. She is not in a situation to do anything right now. In her sudden fear she hugged Jack that is actually using the levitation charm to lift up the stretcher that Ron was placed on.
"Bhooom" "Ahaaaa…."
Immediately Jack lost his movement and the stretcher fell in a flipped state with Ron that fell on his face on the ground. To be precise he fell on his nose. His nose immediately became swollen like a red bulb.
Ron gained consciousness and then lost consciousness because of the pain. Hermione realized the situation and felt embarrassed. Professor McGonagall doesn't know what to say at this moment. At that time professor Mcgonagall spoke.
"You don't have to worry. There are other professors there to take care of the situation."
She purposefully ignored the situation with Ron because Hermione is a good student in her eyes. To be precise Hermione is just like her and she believes that Hermione was bewitched by this Ron and Harry to help them come here.
They quickly made their way to the hospital wing. On the other hand Jack's another image from the future that came back with the help of time turner sent an owl to Rita Skeeter. The contents are very simply.
"Miss Rita Skeeter, I have excellent news for you to cover at Hogwarts. You should come here on the day of the final year banquet where the entire show happens. By the way, you don't have to come to me directly and expose me.
Well there is no need to mention these things to you as an experienced person in this field of covering the news. Just do as I say and come here to get the news obediently without making any funny business.
PS: I know that you are an illegal Animagus in beetle form.
If you don't want your things to be exposed please write the article in my favor that is in the way I want it to be. After coming to Hogwarts you can interview me, Harry potter, Hermione granger and Ronald Weasley.
Your dear lover,
Jack black, with a bunch of kisses for you,
PS: The letter would self destroy after you read it completely. So don't hide it inside your pocket.
...…"
Jack wrote the last few sentences just to arouse the interest of Rita Skeeter. Naturally women are more inclined to keep their appearances as much as they possibly can. Rita Skeeter is also the same and her appearance that shows was just a façade.
Right now she is 40 years old that is what she shows outside to show her experience and intimidate others. Her inner appearance is more like Marlin Monroe in her 20's. Jack was able to see her true image because he was told about this by his grandmother.
His grandmother is an intelligent person that knows many secrets. Just in case for her grandson she prepared a book filled with all the secrets in all fields. They are the connections and the handles that she and the black family collected throughout the ages.
This includes the true appearance of professor McGonagall, Mrs. Zabini and many other beauties. It is also a form of wealth (Information is wealth) that was given to Jack by her. Since it was in the form of a diary, no one would take it or suspect it. Jack has this and he has many handles of top people in his hands.
