Chapter 21: aged more with time turner
So he has to accumulate them slowly. On the other hand, Harry and Ron are sulking because they were unable to do that even after listening to the words of Jack. Daphne and Hermione completed the transfiguration easily.
Even pansy was able to do it before the end of the class. The reason why Harry was unable to do is because of hatred he has towards Jack because of Sirius. As for Ron, he is simply jealous and he flunked the entire thing.
On the next day there is another class for the combined Slytherin and Gryffindor. It is the defense against dark arts class with professor Quirrell. Most people are actually looking forward to this class because of knowing about the dark arts.
Unfortunately it has become a joke. The main thing that was taught or to be more precise the only thing they got from the class are the cowardly experiences of professor Quirrell. It is about how to hide when facing strong wizards or magical creatures.
Everything is about his sad adventurers related to a vampire in Romania, an African prince that gave him his turban for clearing some zombie. Well just like that the day ended. On the next day Hedwig brought a letter to Harry while Jack also received a letter from Goldy.
The letter Jack got is from wily. He seems to have collected the materials that Jack asked him to find. As for the money, they already had some on their hands. Well most of the things are stolen instead of paying legitimately.
Where did you see that villain would pay the money for the goods?
Villain is meant to deceive other people and that is exactly what he does. In the school Jack has to do many things and the time he has is not enough for him to complete all these things. So he usually uses a time turner to solve this problem.
The time turner he has is given to him by his grandmother from the secret artifacts of black family. Do only ministry of magic has time turners. The pure blood families also had them. It is especially so for the pure blood families with long linage in the history.
He specifically asked her for this time turner. Using this timer turner the maximum time he can go back outside the bounds of time is only 5 hours. He has been using this to study many things over the years.
Even in the Malfoy family he used the inferior invisibility cloak along with time turner to sneak around the library of Malfoy family. Well the normal library without any old dark magic books that is open for him and Draco.
This is a reason why Jack's growth is a little abnormal. Every day he would spend extra 5 hours to do various things. This has happened for more than 7 years which let him age for extra 12775 hours.
This is equals to 532+ days that is more than a year. So he looks a year older than his appearance. Based on the normal time line he is still 12 year old. But his physical and mental age is over 13 year old because of the extra time he spent.
Hermione also suffered this thing a little. Fortunately she only stayed out of bounds of time in her third year for only 45+ days all in total hours. This would not let her age much but she is already older compared to many students on the same class.
She was born in September so technically she is over 9 months older than Harry. For that matter she is also older than Jack before, but not now. Jack is not going to use it to get aged quickly. Instead he wanted to become an adult quickly.
...….
Friday they have potions class. Jack arrived early and occupied his place as usual. Except for Harry, Snape would not bother with anyone for the time being. So Jack peacefully sat beside Daphne without any problem.
Snape would not target him right now in the class as his reputation as good student has already spread. Snape is quite intelligent but he is love brained person. Also, when a Slytherin and a Gryffindor sat beside each other harmoniously why would anyone quarrel about this?
Fortunately the number of students is in odd numbers. Originally Jack should not present in this world a poor Slytherin has to do his or her things alone. Now this was solved with the presence of Jack.
...
Harry was mocked by Snape and Jack did not show any thoughts of making a move. As usual Draco answered and he was given points. Things are solved. The system is also silent and did not issue any choices.
So he let things go. After that he went to library to learn more from the advances study materials in the library. The most useful thing about Hogwarts is that there are many useful things here for him to read.
His target is to see if he can find some clues about magic origin. But the more he read the less he find. His theoretical knowledge is deep and some of the things here were easily comprehended by him.
But all of this was research material on some inventions and other nonsense. Jack knows that the most important things are not left out in the plain sight. Most probably the thing he is looking for is in the restricted section.
He did not have the authority to go there. So he simply studied other books to acquire more knowledge. Just like that 2 weeks has gone by. Now they are having the flying class. It is a joint class with Slytherin and Gryffindor as usual.
Madam Hooch leads the class, gently sending the new fliers off the ground. Jack knows that his time has come to make his move and gain his first friend from the Gryffindor.
