Chapter 134: get the snitch before Harry
Harry did not understand this matter. He is simply throwing his weight around. In a way he is no different than Dursley family in this matter. May be he lived with them for so long that he got some of their habits. They are not good habits but bad habits that others hate.
Professor McGonagall agreed and decides to ask Madam Hooch to be present. As for Jack, he was asked by professor Mcgonagall if he wanted to practice Quidditch too for a while. Jack decided to give it a try.
Since madam hooch is present she was more relieved. Jack was given the practice broomstick to try. In the flying class Jack was really good at flying. So madam hooch did not feel much about Jack practicing with the Gryffindor team.
As for the position of practice in the Quidditch team, Jack was asked to try catching the snitch with Harry. Actually it was the idea or Harry that he got from Ron when they are parting before.
He wanted to show that he is better than Jack in Quidditch. Unfortunately Jack did not participate because he felt that it is a waste of his time not because he could not do that. Jack smiled at them because his current capabilities are far different from when it was before.
Before his flying talent is mediocre, but after the inheritance from strong people like Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, things has changed. Jack has a very high potential in flying on the broomstick and he also possess extremely sharp reflexes.
With the muscle memory he can easily move on equal terms or even better than Harry. That is the reason why the villain choice system was silent for so long without giving him any choices. He has already gotten many good things from the inheritance.
There is nothing that the system could give him at the current situation with those minor choices. Most of the time the choices are related the rewards that are obtained. But today something special happened.
"Ding
Host, please make your choice.
Choice 1: perform better than Harry and make him lose his confidence in his capabilities in the being a seeker in the Quidditch team.
Host would be rewarded with the part of the map of Merlin's treasure (1/6)
Host would be recommended to the Quidditch team of the country for selections.
Choice 2: let Harry show off.
The popularity of the host would drop off by 10 percent.
...….."
Even though it is said to be a choice but it is not a choice at all. Jack can only choose the first option. After the choice Jack sighed and got into work. Immediately Oliver wood sent out the snitch while Jack and Harry are ready to catch the snitch.
After the snitch was released it immediately moved into the air at the fastest speed. Harry quickly followed the flying snitch with his magnifying glasses like spectacles. Jack was much better as he eyes directly locked on to the trajectory of the flying snitch in the next moment.
"Fluuuu"
With the sound of the whistle both Jack and Harry took off into the air at high speed. They flew around in the same direction at a close proximity. Harry was astounded at how good Jack is flying close to him.
Also his movements are more erratic and are very smooth. Jack's face is calm and moved along with Harry following the snitch. They made many curves, ups and downs during their dives they came very close to the land and suddenly took off.
It is a miracle how those old broomsticks are bearing the weights of the two people. Jack sighed and increased the speed even further crossing over Harry and entered into the supports beam area of the stadium.
They moved like cicadas between the irregular beams and came out. The snitch took a straight fall onto the earth from the highest point and they both competed to get the snitch by going straight down toward the ground.
The speed of the broomsticks along with the acceleration due to gravity went all the way down. Finally Harry stopped at the safe distance and decided to move with the snitch that would take a curve at the ground.
Well it is the natural trajectory for the snitch and Harry understands it very well. But he did not expect that Jack would go straight towards the ground at full speed without stopping at the safe distance.
Harry also did that in the movie and finally caught the snitch in his mouth in the plot once. Well that did not happen now. But still the actions of Jack have shocked Harry and all the people that are looking at the competition of Jack and Harry.
The actions of Jack made their hearts come into their mouths because of all the tension. Finally the broom of Jack came close to the earth and turned just millimeters from the grass with the mighty force of the muscles of Jack.
He is currently super strong and even if he crashed directly the amount of damage he received might be very less and almost nothing. He might not even break his bone, not even a single crack.
Also the broomstick that he is using is temporarily reinforced by a magic spell that he knows. It would only work as long as he is holding the stick or was in close contact with his body with constant supply of energy and his control.
Because of this even with his strong stop at full speed the broom stick did not break down into pieces. Also Jack caught the snitch that was about to take a turn. With the snitch in his hand Jack returned back to madam hooch as if nothing happened.
His face has a gentle smile that he always had. Even his clothes are still as clean and perfect as ever without any wrinkles.
