Chapter 102: Ginny was taken to chamber of secrets
Unfortunately, Jack could not sit still. After all this time his women became victims. He has to do something. So he deliberately made those lazy people see the reflection of the basilisk 'ACCIDENTALLY'.
This has caused a bigger stir making the ministry of magic take things seriously. Originally they have scheduled a Quidditch match on the next day to relieve the tensed nerves of the students. But now it was canceled. This is the second big incident.
The third incident is actually ministry of magic have to push this blame on someone. Even though Jack spoke about the situation and pointed it at basilisk, these politicians needed to calm the people.
So they pushed the blame to Hagrid taking him to Azkaban just like that in the plot. Jack tried to help Hagrid with his explanation along with Dumbledore, so that they would actually concentrate on truth. But none of that worked.
The prejudice that Hagrid had towards Jack has gone down a little with the persuasion of Jack to release him. Before leaving he gave the clue just like that in the original plot looking at an empty corner and not to Jack.
Others might not think about it but Jack knows that Harry and Ron are here using a fake invisibility cloak with its half visible feature that is barely invisible. Also he can hear the sounds made by Ron that is a chatter box that loves to bite the ears of Harry.
Even though it is a fake one that would lose its effects over the usage of time it still works well right now. Things became complicated. This is not the only problem as another problem appeared in the new company he started.
Well his company is not implicated but there are some pressure and problems from the ministry due to a certain goblin riot. Yes the goblin riot has happened just like that in the plot and Jack collaborating with them has some impact on his business.
The riot broke out in Chipping Clodbury,
Where talks regarding the Goblin Bill of Rights were occurring between the Brotherhood of Goblins and the British Ministry of Magic, When Goblins who had acquired wands started using them to wreak havoc.
The rioting Goblins caused some items in the Muggle town to explode and then transfigured other items called for justice for their kind. Well things are much easier to solve here with proper amount of money in place.
Also the entire situation was diverted towards other direction about the incident at Hogwarts. Jack did not follow Harry and Ron into the forbidden forest. He did not have any interest in playing with spiders right now.
Also these spiders really like human flesh and blood as food. So Jack did not go over to the forbidden forest. Instead he went to the hospital wing to visit Penelope Clearwater and Hermione granger from time to time.
Even though the ministry provided with the medicine to make the petrified person normal, but it takes time for them to become completely normal. Jack continued to visit them every day and talked them.
Even though they are petrified they can still listen to the words of Jack. Hermione was petrified because she was trying to see if what Jack said about basilisk is true or what Harry found later is true.
Originally it should be something similar. As for Penelope Clearwater she is also in a similar situation patrolling around to make sure that no one would get attacked. But she over estimated herself and got attacked right now.
Jack when visiting them did not say much. He only spoke a few good words that everyone is safe and they would return back to normal soon. He is just consoling them and also make them feel touched by his diligence in visiting them.
On May 29th Jack knows that Harry and Ron would figure out the entire incident. So Jack took the initiative to get things done before them. But for that the trigger that he needed is for Ginny to be taken into the chamber of secrets.
Harry and Ron have just figured out what the monster was. That is they finally accepted that what Jack said before is actually true and where to find the Chamber of Secrets. They run to the staff room but no one is there.
A few moments later an emergency staff meeting was called for some reason and Harry suggested that they hide in the wardrobe to hear what's going on before telling the staff what they've learned.
In the emergency staff meeting there are also the people from the ministry of magic and an extra member that Harry and Ron did not expect. It was actually Jack that came here to explain his theory and his findings.
During the talk Harry and Ron finds sad news about Ginny Weasley. They learn that Ginny has been kidnapped by the Basilisk and the heir of Slytherin has left another message under the previous one.
"HER SKELETON WILL LIE IN THE CHAMBER FOREVER".
Actually she was not kidnapped by basilisk and she was possessed by the soul fragment of Tom riddle that is Voldemort. Jack marveled at how powerful, just a fragment of soul of Voldemort is.
After all with just that fragment of the soul he was able to control a person and command a mythical beast easily. This is not a simple thing that can be achieved by just anyone. Jack wanted to learn it and understand it.
Jack immediately suggests that they should go the bathroom where the first incident happened. Also he suggests taking Harry with them. That is because Jack said that the entrance to the chamber of secrets can only be opened using the Parseltongue.
With this suggestion everyone decided to move and they are going to take Gilderoy with them. But Gilderoy tried to escape because he is just a dummy piece without any combat effectiveness.
