Chapter 19: a qualified villain and a cannon fodder villain
Jack really hates this kind of plot nonsense. It is especially so for the things arranged by Dumbledore. With the speech over, everyone was sent to the respective common rooms where their dorms are connected.
The first years are led to the Gryffindor common room by Percy that became prefect recently. Jack has his special Plans towards Percy knowing his character and personality. Percy is an ambitious man.
At first he was infatuated with Penelope and then in the later days he went on to marry a woman from the pure blood family that can support his ambitions. As for Penelope, she is from a muggle family with middle class background.
So she was directly abandoned when he lost his infatuation. Jack being a villain can use this point for his advantage later. So he kept this thing in his mind. But for now he would not make a move.
On the way, the Gryffindor house students run into Peeves, a Poltergeist. Upon arriving at the Gryffindor common room door they meet the Fat Lady in the portrait that lets them into Gryffindor Tower after Percy gives her the password.
Before going to the female dorm Hermione came to Jack and said 'good night' silently and left quickly without looking back. Her words did not mean 'Good Night'; it means I trust you even with your identity.
This is a small episode that did not appear in the eyes of others. The people cannot decide the bed that they wanted. It was already arranged with names and luggage that was already placed beside the bed.
It is especially so for the Gryffindor first year students as Harry potter was present in the group. So things are arranged specifically as Harry became close to the ones that can nurture his character to the direction Dumbledore wanted after the sorting ceremony.
Jack is coincidentally in the same room as Harry potter. There is also Ron, Neville and Seamus in the same room. Jack doesn't think it was coincidence. But he cannot just change rooms. Things are fixed.
So he did not say much and only introduced himself only after Neville and Seamus talked to him. After that he directly slept. That day is finally over. Both Harry and Ron appeared to be cursed to lose directions.
Whenever they go out they would never make it to class in time. Something always goes wrong for them. As for Jack it is not a problem at all. The point is they actually thought that he cursed them to get lost when going to the classes.
If they are not so curious and wanted to explore stupid places, also if they got ready early they would perfectly make it in time. But they did not do that instead they found Jack as their vent for the entire thing.
Jack has already memorized all the important things at Hogwarts School and he can find his way around the school without any problem. Also Jack specifically looked for the location of the school caretaker Argus Filch.
This place has the marauder's map that he wanted to get it. Any way it belongs to his father as much as belongs to Harry. So he wanted to get this thing for himself. During the time of classes Jack listened to it carefully.
Knowledge is always useful and even if he already knows everything there are things that are always out of books and know by experience of the teachers. Jack listened attentively to the classes which made those professors see him in a better light, changing their impression.
The two men benches were arranged in all classes and Jack straight away sat by the side of Daphne which made her happy. On the other hand Hermione sat in the same place as she usually sits.
The history class is boring but Jack was not bored. He is doing two things at the same time. One is planning his future moves and the second is collecting his doubts about the magic of this world.
Why does he need to know the origin of magic?
Well it is very simple. Based on the original plot the protagonist of this world did not seem to think of getting his hands on the origin of magic. At the same time Voldemort is more interested in power than getting his hands on the origin of magic.
This means that neither of them are the original protagonist or villain of this world. More like they are some, timeline protagonist or the villain. They are like fleeting characters that appear for their own story just like formation of a fairy tale or something like that.
Other than that they did not have a bigger role. Their entire story revolves around two things, one is the Horcrux magic and the second is the items of the deathly hallows. As long as Jack puts his fingers in any of these two matters, he would definitely be implicated.
That is the will of the world or pre arranged progress monitoring power of the world would consider him as a threat. Other than that, he would have to find the other protagonists and villains of this world.
For that he has to touch the origin of the magic. A qualified villain should always have to keep his eyes on the bigger picture of the world, instead of a single plot like a cannon fodder villain that appears fleetingly and dies a shortly after, just like his father in this plot.
Sirius was introduced in the third part as a villain at the beginning and redeems himself as the good person in the end. Naturally he died later without achieving anything like a stupid cannon fodder.
Jack doesn't want to be a part of this small thing instead he wanted to step into the big picture and fight his way for the supremacy over the world. He did not want to be stepped on by others.
