Chapter 60: white villain speaks (Strikes)
Suddenly a reporter like Rita Skeeter appears here. They remembered the incidents related to the troll and the Quidditch before. Immediately they felt that a big invisible hand is looming around them making things difficult for Dumbledore and them.
But they could not point their fingers at it. As for the house cup and points Jack has actually scored just enough to take the lead over the Slytherin even though they won the Quidditch cup.
So right now, Jack was in the good situation. If Dumbledore really added points to Harry, Ron and Hermione right now, then Jack would start his counter attack immediately. If he did not add any points then Jack could not do anything.
This was the final conclusion choice that he has right now. If Dumbledore did not act then all the preparations that Jack made would be spoiled. But he was sure that Dumbledore would definitely act and do the white washing program.
...…
Also Jack was not awarded any points for notifying professors in time to save Harry, Ron and Hermione. Finally the banquet started and Jack was waiting eagerly for the move of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore stood up and came to the front. Then he started with his speech. He first awarded the points to Jack saying that he was brave enough to notify them in time to save his fellow students.
Jack was given 20 points. Then Hermione and Ron were awarded with 50 points and Harry even got 60 points. Not only Hermione but many people around felt weird when they listened to the distribution of the points.
Ron did not care and he was happy that he got 50 house points. He started to brag and give eyes to Jack with sneers. Jack smiled back at Ron and stood up suddenly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Rita Skeeter knows that this is her queue to record the incident and information. Dumbledore felt that Jack got only 20 point which is unfair. Well he wanted to boost the confidence of Harry and support his friends.
For that he needs an antagonist or a side character like Jack to fuel the accomplishments of Harry to make him more confident and gain support. Only this way he can create a strong savior or we can call him a strong tool man.
When Jack thinks about it, he felt that Dumbledore and Harry are more like third Hokage and Naruto. Jack felt disgusted thinking about them. After the surrounding people calmed down Jack spoke.
"Professor Dumbledore I presume what Harry, Ron and Hermione did was to break a bunch of rules of the school entering the forbidden area. You have personally announced that going there is forbidden at the start of the year.
Even if you did not consider that you should know that they actually created a situation where they not only threatened their lives but also the lives of others. It is said that in the final room where the object that the dark wizard is searching was not found by him.
It was actually found because of the presence of Harry. This means that if Harry did not go there then it is not possible to find the object that the dark wizard is searching for. Finally for doing all of this you should punish them.
We are all first year students without any attack power or defensive capabilities. If it is a fifth year or sixth year student that went there to fight then it is good to go and face some dark wizards for saving the day.
Since we are normal first year students then we should understand that we are not good at fighting or defending and we should report this matter to the corresponding teachers and show the proof. Instead they went to take a risk of life.
For this they should be punished so that they or other students would not do this kind of life risk things in the future. You should use this as a lesson for others to not to do this kind of thing. Instead of doing that why are you awarding points to them?
Isn't that simply encouraging them to break the rules and do life risk things. Professor is you really alright in your mind. Did you drink any new experimental potion or something? We Gryffindor's are adventurous and break few school rules some times.
But we never take things to the point of threatening our lives or lives of others. So as a Gryffindor house student, I ask you to reconsider giving points like this. Even without them we would still win the house cup.
I don't want my fellow students to take the wrong path because of the awarded points. As a professor awarding points like this is inappropriate. You should not do this kind of thing to encourage them."
Jack said with a sincere face that made the people around dumbfounded. They don't know what to speak at this moment. What Jack said is absolutely true and everything was within the rules and morals. No one can refute Jack in this situation.
On the other hand Rita Skeeter's flying pen and note pad started to get the information from her mind. The sound of scribbling could be heard as the twisted words appeared in the note book.
The other professors are too engrossed in the words of Jack that they did not react to the scribbling of Rita. Dumbledore was really dumbfounded hearing to the words of Jack. He doesn't know how to reach in this situation.
Jack did not stop with his words and started to ruse the remaining Gryffindor students and other students to stand on the side of Jack. The people of the Gryffindor have already angry with Harry and others for losing points before.
Not they actually risked their lives along the lives of other students. If Jack did not call in the professors in time it would be a disaster.
