Chapter 94: Harry the heir of Slytherin
For this reason he did not called Jack for anything. But now his inner desire to have a good student was ignited and be proud of a student have ignited. He wanted to make Harry a good potions master.
Unfortunately unlike lily that is Harry's mother, Harry did not have an inkling of affinity towards potions. Instead like James potter that is Harry's father, Harry is good with transfigurations and charms.
Well he was very disappointed with that but he could not speak because of his ego. Any way Jack did a few good things for Harry and supported his plans to protect Harry. So he has decided to sponsor Jack in learning potions making from him.
With that thought a creepy smile appeared on his face. The students that saw this felt a slight shiver and nightmares at night after this. Gilderoy on the side did not look good. His face darkened as black as the bottom of a pot.
He doesn't expect Jack was so good at charms this made him more jealous. Well he doesn't know that professor Flitwick is teaching Jack about the dueling. Then the plot continued with Harry and Draco dueling.
Draco let the serpent out and Harry tried his best to make the serpent not to attack other students. Jack on the other hand pulled the student right in front of the serpent back and cast a spell to disintegrate the serpent.
Jack immediately became a hero in front of the people and the student for saving them. Instead Harry became a villain. They even forgot Draco that brought out the serpent. Now most people believe that Harry is the heir of Slytherin.
Previously when Jack stated that Harry has Parselmouth many people did not understand that. But now the situation is different. It looked like Harry wanted the snake to attack other students.
Sometimes listening to the things did not have as much as visual effect in a life threatening situation. Now they saw the situation Harry reached the top of the suspects list of being the heir of Slytherin.
Draco on the side is happy that he damaged the connections of Harry. But he was angry because Jack became hero while he became a clown that went unnoticed. With that anti Harry movement started.
Even Ron believed that Harry is the heir of Slytherin and tried to find out if it is really true while still keeping distance from Harry. Harry naturally understood the situation. He felt bad about this point and also sad for his friend Ron distancing himself from him.
As for Hermione she still believed in Harry and moved close to him sharing some criticism and few other problems with Harry. But that is not all. On the very next day the two students that Jack saved and shouted at Harry in the Gryffindor common room has been petrified.
This made the belief of the people stronger that Harry is really the heir of Slytherin. Even Ron believed that to some extent which is greater than before. It is like he took revenge on them for shouting at him.
......
Harry was called to the headmaster's office where Jack is already there talking to Dumbledore about some of the doubts that he was thinking off. Also Jack knows that the phoenix is going to die today and reborn today.
He came to visit the phoenix going through the process of rebirth. Coincidentally Harry was also told to visit Dumbledore. When Harry arrived he looked at Jack and thought that Jack is the one that complained against him.
This made Harry hate Jack because many people hate him right now because of his Parseltongue. He completely misunderstood the situation and jack. Also right around that time Dumbledore went into his study to bring a book related to runes for Jack.
So there is only Jack when Harry arrived at the head master's office. Jack sat beside the phoenix and looked at it without caring for Harry. Harry looked the sorting hat on the side and asked it if it has placed him in the wrong house.
They conversed and Harry came near the phoenix just like in the plot out of curiosity. Right when he came close the phoenix lit up in flames and turned into ashes. Jack that is on the side watched the entire thing without changing face.
It is a strange thing with great visual impact. Also it is not like normal creature burning from skin to bones. Instead it lit up completely with every cell and turned in to ashes immediately without the process of burning.
Harry was startled looking at it and stayed in stunned state. Right at that moment Dumbledore also came back with a book in his hand that Jack wanted. Harry as if he was the thief started to speak.
"Professor, I did not do anything. It lit up in the fire on its own….."
Before Dumbledore could speak Jack spoke.
"You should read some books of magical creatures and plants to get a better understanding of the situation. This is a phoenix. It is going through rebirth this time so it would burn in the fire first and rise up from the ashes…."
Before Jack finished speaking he heard the sounds from the ashes of the phoenix and a chick like head pocked out of the ashes. There is no egg or other things appearing. It is still a confusing point that needs debate. But the chick came out from ashes in this world.
"Sqeak…"
"Sqeak…"
Then a small bird like a chick appeared in the ashes. Jack used his finger to rub its head slowly with a happy face. Harry on the other hand was dumbfounded looking at the entire thing of life and death.
Jack did not speak any more and let the professionals that is Dumbledore handle the matter properly. Dumbledore came over to speak with Harry while he gave the book to Jack to let him check it out before he completes his work with Harry.
