Chapter 51: 30 kisses as compensation
She made an expression as if she did not have any choice and sat on the lap of Jack and Jack pulled her into his embrace as his hands were free already. Hermione stiffened for a moment when Jack embraced her suddenly.
"Now miss granger, we come to the main point. I know that Hagrid got a dragon egg. Also your search for the stone in the forbidden area is not the thing you can just investigate as we are young first year students.
But these things are secrets that can land you and you two moronic self centered righteous friends Harry and Ron with a good amount of punishment. It can even make Hagrid lose his job you know. Raising dragon privately is prohibited.
Also it would give me some extra house points improving my fame. I presume that you don't want this to happen. So you have to compensate for my losses. Let us assume that I would get around 20 house points for this and a lot of fame from the students.
What do you think of the price of 30 lip kisses not pecking kisses? You don't have to give them all to me on the same day. We can divide the number to 30 days. If there is something I will notify you beforehand. What do you think of this deal?"
Jack asked while holding Hermione tightly in his arms making her dizzy from all the close contact. Also the concept Jack spoke is enough to make her blush till she was as red as Ron when he was embarrassed.
But she did not have a choice; well that is what she thought at that moment to convince her mind that want to kiss Jack. She is smart but that smartness is only related to studies but not the reality.
She did not have to worry about anything as there is Dumbledore behind Hagrid to clean up his mess in this particular situation. If they did not meddle in and Dumbledore really found out about this matter, then he would have really become cautious about the philosopher's stone.
But things did not go that way and this led to the current situation and a future where Harry faced with professor Quirrell or you can say the remnant soul of Voldemort. Things would have solved more easily.
Not only they meddle in the matter that they should not have but they even cause many people to have head ache. That is what Harry potter did. After that she accepted to Jack's deal glaring at him.
But her eyes have different feeling to them instead of being angry. She was anxious and expectant about Jack. Well she trusts Jack that he would not cheat his words when it comes to trade.
With that they kissed again and did not part for 5 whole minutes. The kiss this time is more passionate with their tongues intertwined and her tongue was played by Jack causing her to be on the passive side.
With the kiss done Hermione was reluctant and wanted to continue. But she came back to her senses and blushed for her thought of wanting to kiss Jack. After that she quickly left this place.
Jack told her that he wanted to speak to Harry later and wanted to meet him in the school grounds tomorrow morning. Also he told her not to tell this to that snot nosed brat Ron that has loud mouth and tendency to speak about this to everyone.
Hermione glared at Jack again, it is not because Jack scolded Ron but because Jack called in Harry. She thought that Jack is going to make a deal with Harry too. She doesn't know what the deal is but her thoughts are running wild.
Jack that looked her then as she looked at him with weird expression making him understood that she misunderstood.
"Don't worry, I am not into men. I like beautiful women."
Hermione, that got her thoughts red by Jack blushed again and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
...….
Jack did not care about these matters as he was busy with his own things. During this time he met with the phoenix few times as it came to him on its own. Jack did not understand what it came to him and be intimate with him.
During his study about the artifacts and materials on his hand, he took out a box that was sealed with a puzzle like thing from his mother. It was also in the collection but he never took it out as he was busy with other things.
He thought that there are some air tight precious materials stored in it. He wanted to check what is inside really quickly. Any way he has to know what is inside so that he can use it when necessary.
He took out the box that was previously placed inside the expansion bag by the house elves. But when he touched the box with his hand to take it out of the expansion bag, his eyes lost their focus and the light in them.
His hands moved automatically taking the box out of the expansion bag and started to solve the puzzle as if he was possessed.
His fingers moved at a fast speed and few of the puzzle pieces has sharp thorns that got his blood stuck to the box that seems to be made out of wood. The blood that came out was sucked by the box and it started to glow with green light.
Also the thorns on the box vanished along with the wounds on his finger. Jack did not have any consciousness of his actions. He was looking at the thing his body is doing on its own because he has a system and he exists independently from all kinds of soul tampering things.
He was very anxious thinking that his body was being taken over by some old monster or something. But when the puzzle was solved and the green light appeared he got his senses back to him.
