Chapter 92: Gilderoy's jealousy
These things are what Jack required for the cards. So he has to get the body of basilisk and few other things if possible. With that he can continue with the future plans of making high conductivity and spell capacity cards for usage then.
During this time the dueling club has started and Jack also signed up. He would not do any amazing feat like others instead he came here to watch the show. He wanted to see the show where everyone suspects that Harry is the heir of Slytherin.
Even though he previously told everyone that Harry can speak to snakes, no one believed him and their concentration is on different topic related to the basilisk. So they selectively forgot about this point.
If they saw the situation life then their thoughts would be stirred directly. Another reason he came to participate is actually professor Flitwick that told him to join in the fun. It is a normal thing and he appreciates this kind of dueling.
Even though Jack just stood at one corner, his presence is attractive. Jack was discovered by Gilderoy that always wanted to show off in front of everyone. But no matter what he did his actions could not compete with the charm of Jack.
Because of the popularity that Jack showed, he really wanted to do something to Jack to clear off his competition and to satisfy his ego. Unfortunately for him all of his previous plans are not working.
There is dobby still at Hogwarts and he is silently protecting Jack as its friend. Jack was very happy about this matter and because of this all the previous attempts of Gilderoy were destroyed.
Well Jack already had his protective measures against the tactics of Gilderoy. But still having an extra layer of protection is always good. On the other hand the wand of Gilderoy was broken into tiny pieces by dobby in secret using its magic.
Then it was plastered just like the wand of Ron. But dobby is really good. It made it look like the wand is still fine without any damage on the surface with its magic. Well he is a house elf and it has to have skill to repair and restore broken things to cover up sometimes.
Even if it is not for them, the younger generation of the bigger houses would sometimes have this kind of problems or accidents where they break something accidentally and it needs repaired or restored so that their elder did not scold them.
Jack was surprised to know this and was looking forward to watch the show of the duel between Gilderoy and professor Snape. Actually Gilderoy did not know about his broken wand as it has happened just yesterday.
This happens on the opening ceremony of the dueling club. Along with many students Jack also came to the dueling club. The big long stage is arranged for dueling. Naturally Gilderoy ignorantly went on to the stage to demonstrate against professor Snape.
Jack looked at the show. Gilderoy used his wand to shoot the Expelliarmus charm. Because of the backlash of the charm he flew back all the way to the edge of the stage and made 5 back flips before stopping with the support of the wall.
The wall supported him really well and he looked like a golden haired lizard with robes than a professor of Hogwarts. Jack laughed happily without a care watching the scene. This is because the current background of Jack is hundred times stronger than anything at Hogwarts.
All the students laughed aloud but Gilderoy directly covered it up as showing his great back flip technique to stop the rebound of the spell like situations happened when one shoots a spell from their wand.
No one buys that except the nympo fan girls of Gilderoy. Jack did not want to pull his real image out right now. It still has time for that. For now Jack waited for his turn. Jack that laughed the loudest was naturally noticed by Gilderoy.
"Fuck, he is laughing at me. I have to get revenge on him. Only I am meant to be the most handsome man in existence. I have to remove him so that I can gain the most attention from the people again."
Recently after Jack became charismatic the word of mouth spread all the way to news papers. This year they are thinking of giving the 'Most Charming Smile Award' to Jack. So he became jealous and wanted to do everything he can to pull Jack down.
Unfortunately he was unable to do anything during this time. Some of his attempts have even backfired on him like the special sneezing runny nose potion that he wanted to make Jack drink.
It accidentally fell into his hands and he almost drank it because of the mysterious change of cups. Fortunately he knows the smell of this potion and escaped the disaster. But still the smell is enough to make him have runny nose for a day and night.
If he drank that potion he would get a swollen runny nose that would make him sneeze once every half an hour for a week. That would literally be hell and all the charm and reputation that he accumulated over time would have gone down the drain.
That was his plan but it was changed by dobby that came along with Jack for fun. After standing back up, but Gilderoy found that his wand was broken from his fall just now. So he sighed and decided to let students compete instead.
He wanted to pit Jack against some strong opponent and make him lose the duel. This way he would be able to pull down some of the good image of Jack. For that he wanted to choose Draco.
Unfortunately he can only arrange for the Gryffindor students but not the Slytherin students at the moment. He quickly started his acting using the excuse about his wand to stop dueling and letting other students compete.
