Chapter 41: switching the real invisibility cloak with fake invisibility cloak
Also his life after the death of his grandmother is to stay in Malfoy's family. Dumbledore specifically mentioned the words of Draco to show the situation of Jack. Well these words took a strong root in the hearts of the listeners.
It is an irrefutable fact that they cannot refuse. Jack did stay in the Malfoy's house. They cannot refuse that so they did not say anything to Draco before. Sympathy would increase the good opinion when it is required.
Jack's emotional opinion foundation for the surrounding people is very strong with his step by step planning. With that he was easily approved by Nicolas Flamel. Jack was invited for the Christmas dinner at his house.
Dumbledore would accompany Jack there. Then Nicolas would test Jack to see if Jack was capable to become his successor. Jack was very happy to go. Slowly time passed by and it was already December 25th early hours.
The gifts have already been put at the place of the Christmas tree of each dorm room. Jack woke up very early so that he could switch real invisibility in the package with his normal invisibility cloak he carefully arranged.
He has already used magic to remove all kinds of traces from the invisibility cloak he has and he used his mother's wand for this. There is no trace that it belongs to him or the black family. Also this invisibility cloak looked very similar to the real one.
Jack went to the packaging area and first opened the package related to Harry that has the invisibility cloak and replaced it. Then he sealed it with a repair spell and made it look like it was before.
After that he stored the real invisibility in his system space separately. As soon as he got the cloak he got a notification from the system.
"Ding
Congratulations host for obtaining an ancient invisibility artifact of high grade. Host replacing the invisibility cloak did not have any impact on the plot proceedings. So host would not receive any extra benefits from the system."
Jack was shocked to know this information. Since there is no change in the plot or problem for the protagonist, Jack would not be given special benefits that a villain should get from the system.
Jack sighed at this moment and then he went back to sleep. Jack did not check the gifts that he got and he also sent gifts to a few people that he is close to. It was a cold day and he was having a good time sleeping.
If not for stealing the real invisibility cloak, he would not have woken up so early. He woke up late that day and after he woke up he got a call from Dumbledore. Jack doesn't know why he was called.
He dressed up and went to the head master's office to speak to Dumbledore. He already got the password for the spiraling stair way. When Jack arrived he saw the phoenix on the small bird stand that is looking beautiful.
Jack came to it and looked into its eyes. It is also looking at Jack. He has a strange sense of closeness to it because they both possess one of the attribute that is common between them strangely.
It is the endless life energy that mixed in with his body and soul from his wand in the ritual before. He doesn't know but his heart now has a green layer that is mixing with his blood. This is the source of energy from the druid heart.
Whenever his heart beats this energy would pass on to his blood and circulate around his body strengthening it on its own. It is absorbing the life energy from the surroundings in minute quantities just like a grass root and injecting it into his body.
His body is being vitalized. If this continued, in a few years he can become a walking ancient tree with full vitality. Well he will not have bark, branches and leaves but he would look young, strong in both fight and in bed and few more special things.
Jack was interested in alchemy because of the long life and few other secrets related to the magic origin. Everything in the world is formed through mixing of elements made up of complicated minute runes.
There runes are not in symbolic form, but are in the form of energies like the things explained in Einstein's string theory of energy. This is the most basic from of known energy in science that he already knows and combined with the magic knowledge.
Even though this world did not mention that there is a school in a certain ancient country their ancient texts still has this concept of energy in them like Spanda (Divine vibration), Nada/Aum (Sound as origin), Indra's Net (Interconnected web) and Brahman (Unified Field).
But if he wants to find the exact knowledge then he has to start by stepping into alchemy to know the origin of the runic symbols. Sometimes you have to check something that is seemingly completely unrelated to find the solution for a problem.
Jack is currently doing that now. The big phoenix slowly pecked on to a nut of some sort, broke it and gave it to Jack. Jack is not a harmful or a person filled with killing intent. He is a villain but a civilian one at that.
If it is not required he would not make any move to show his hostility or killing intent. Well even if he is angry he would never show killing intent but the malice can be felt. The phoenix did not feel any malice from Jack,
On the other hand it felt closeness to Jack because of the vitality that Jack has which is similar to it. It stands between the life and death while Jack possesses strong life energy that attracted it. It gave the nut it cracked to Jack as a friendly gesture.
