Chapter 14: Jack's Words are sweeter than candy
Pansy immediately came to meddle in the matter. She did not even knock on the door and came in directly with another 3 girls. She directly sat by the side of Jack and wanted to act like a person with princess disease.
She first said a few sarcastic things about Jack that,
He is an orphan,
He ate in Malfoy family but did not have any loyalty.
He is a bad guy that always made Draco's life difficult.....
She talked like a chatter box without any breaks. Right at that time Jack heard the movement of the trolley. It was Honeydukes Express cart pushed by the trolley witch. Pansy did not notice this and is still talking nonsense.
Jack was a little annoyed. So he wanted to do something to make pansy stop talking. Right at that time he got a notification from the system related to the choice. Looking at it has made him widen his eyes slightly.
"Ding
Host, make your choice
Option 1: let pansy continue to trash about the host; reduction in the reputation of the host by 10 percent permanently.
Option 2: stop pansy from talking trash by any means necessary; increase in the charm of the host by 10 percent permanently.
...…"
Looking at the options Jack immediately understood what is going on. It is not much of a choice. If he wants to have good reputation and charm then he has to stop her from talking trash about him.
He directly chose the second option. There is many ways to stop her from talking trash but he did not prefer to use violence against ladies. Ladies are like Rose flowers that needed to be cared slowly and smoothly.
If he is anxious then he might be pierced by the thorns of the Rose. So he has to handle them delicately. Also slapping her now would be counterproductive and it would not solve the problem for him.
So he chose another solution that can solve the problem. This solution might cause Daphne to become a little jealous but this is the best way. She is sitting right next to him. So it was easy for his plan. He pulled her towards him and kissed her on the cheek.
The sudden action stopped her from talking and the girls in front of her opened their mouths wide in shock including pansy. Jack did not let her make any move and directly said with a very calm demeanor like an adult.
"Are you hungry do you want to eat something?"
Pansy, don't know what to say. She did not encounter this kind of situation before. She was stunned that she could not respond. On the other hand Daphne pouted immediately being jealous.
Jack immediately received the notification that the choice is successful and got the benefit. Right at that time the Trolley Witch old lady came pushing the trolley. There are many magical food items on it.
Jack bought some candies, pies and cotton candies that girls usually like from the trolley by spending 4 gold galleons. Jack knows that Daphne is angry with him for his actions but there is a way to cool the things.
After receiving the candy from the old lady, she even gave him an extra because he is charming and pleasing to look. The girls in the pansy's gang are silent and did not talk any more.
Jack gave them the candy and gave an apple pie to pansy. As for Daphne he gave her cotton cream candy that she reluctantly took because she is angry. The box is silent. Daphne has a little cotton candy piece on her cheek.
Jack suddenly moved forward to the face of Daphne that made her stunned and looked at Jack.
"There is some cream on your cheek. Let me clean if for you."
As he said that he licked her cheek and kissed her cheek again.
"You are sweater than candy."
Jack spoke sweetly looking at her face. Immediately she smiled sweetly and the previous anger is gone. Listening to his comment the other girls including pansy blushed and their thoughts are complicated.
They no longer talked trash about Jack. They ate the candy and other food items that Jack gave them and left silently back to their box with red faces. It is especially so for pansy that looked at Jack with a little longing and obsession.
Daphne also left after that as she has to talk with the girls about her territory and authority over Jack. She knows about the affair in the noble circle. She is 12 years old and many things would be taught in the family for noble girls.
This is a common practice all over the world. Even if there is no magic in the world, the rules are still the same. Now Jack is the only one left in the box. The candy covers are spilled all over the place.
Jack took out his wand and gently waved it. Immediately all the covers and spilled food was packed into an empty cover and flew over to the side where the trash can be collected easily. Right after it was done a cure girl appeared it his box.
She had a light complexion, bright brown eyes, and lots of bushy brown hair and there are also those two large front teeth. She is Hermione Granger. If you look at her as it is she is not that beautiful.
Her beauty was covered by her bush hair and big front teeth. It is also lack of proper maintenance to her image as a lady which is different from noble lady upbringing in their wizarding world.
It is a history to the current modern day world outside. Also she is not from an aristocratic family but an ordinary family. If she took proper grooming of her appearance then she would have appeared more beautiful and cute at her current age.
