12 Quidditch and Fate
Jack was flying around the grounds avoiding Harry and Ron, it was a pretty difficult thing to do, considering that both of them were excellent flyers. Making difficult turns and such wasn't enough to take them off his tail so Jack used his knowledge of the books to his advantage and went close to McGonagall's office window before making a sharp turn closely followed by Harry and Ron who were too focused on catching up to Jack and make him pay and didn't notice McGonagall looking out onto the field through her window. Jack knew McGonagall would be arriving soon so he relaxed, Big Mistake! Harry and Ron came up from behind and grabbed him by his arms, picking him off his broom, ``Hehe, now we got you, What do you say Ron? What should we gift our Good Friend Jack?!'' the menacing look in Harry and Ron's eyes was something Jack had seen before and never wanted to see again. ``Come on Guys, it was just a joke! A Joke!'' Ron interrupted him and continued the conversation with Harry as if they weren't flying with a person between them high above the ground but a potato sack. ``I know! He loves new experiences and I have got the perfect thing for him!'' without saying anything to Jack, Ron looked at Harry and pointed at the ground and they both conversed using Legilimency and cam up with a way to get back at Jack all the while smiling.
That smile was quite terrifying and Jack wondered what they might do and he found out in the next instant. They flew up high fast and then came down even faster flying close to the ground making Jack's butt skid on the ground when all of a sudden a loud shout made them drop Jack who still skid a full 10 metres before coming to a halt. `` Potter! Weasley! What on earth do you think you two are doing?!'' McGonagall had arrived and she wasn't looking as pleased as she was in the movies, after all no one had been dragging someone around the ground in the movies. ``In my office now! and Mr. Williams, are you okay, Never Mind! Ms. Greengrass, please take him to the Infirmary to get checked.'' Saying all that, McGonagall left with Harry and Ron who were thinking they were going to get expelled leaving Daphne to come over and apologise to Jack, ``Jack! I am so sorry! I didn't mean for things to escalate so much!'' Jack looked at her and found tears forming in the corners of her eyes and was immediately filled with guilt, ``Daphne, don't worry about them..'' before he could continue Hermione chimed in as well, ``Don't worry about them! what kind of friend are you?! Ron and Harry might get expelled!''
Jack was happy in his heart about Hermione's attitude but knew he should explain things before either Hermione or Daphne attacked him. ``They are going to be fine! They might get detention but they won't get expelled.'' Even without McGonagall needing Harry for Quidditch, Dumbledore wouldn't let Harry get expelled no matter what. Calming the two Girls in front of him down, Jack stood up with help from Theo and calmed himself. He wasn't hurt that much and the pain went away after the circulation of Mana around his body. Jack had found that the Mana Control Training had the best results if he was hurt or exhausted but he wasn't a Machoist, so he never hurt himself on purpose. The class ended earlier than expected but it was still the most enjoyable class to the date. It had only been a week or so and Jack was pretty happy with his new life at Hogwarts. Monday and Tuesday were Physical Education with Muggle Subjects, easy, while Wednesday – Friday was for Physical Education with Magic Subjects, which were also easy. But another perspective on things always helped and Jack and his friends were advancing in their knowledge with the help from the over Thousand years of accumulated knowledge of Hogwarts's Library and their Teachers, who were considered the best of the best in the Wizarding World.
After Harry and Ron came back, instead of them being angry at Jack for getting them in trouble, they gave him a hug. Everyone was confused except for Jack who celebrated for his friends entry into the Quidditch team, Ron had always wanted to and Harry knew from Jack's dad Arthur that his Father was a Seeker. Both were happy and the days passed with them asking Jack, Hermione, Daphne and Theo for help when they fell behind in class due to Quidditch Practice. Hermione's attitude was a lot softer because of the way the guy's treated her and also because she knew they could do it but it would just take them Twenty Minutes instead of Ten. Their group study sessions in the library and Sports Sessions in the new Sports Complex became bigger with addition from the other houses. Seamus and Dean and Neville joined them making the group a hot topic. After all, the whole group was filled with geniuses and they all seemed to be good friends as well. Draco and his gang never even tried to mess with any of them. after all, when he tried to threaten Neville, he was sent to the Infirmary for a Week where he suffered pain without being able to say anything. Neville wasn't a future Herbologist Professor of Hogwarts for nothing.
Days passed without much happening until one night Harry, Ron, Jack and Hermione were returning to the Gryffindor Common Room all of sudden when the stairs they were on, changed directions. ``What the Hell is wrong with these stairs?!'' At times like this Ron's shouty voice came out and he started to curse the founders of Hogwarts for making such staircases. ``Come on Ron, would this even be Hogwarts if the staircases didn't change once in a while or a magic door didn't appear without you tickling a painting in a specific spot? Hmm'' Jack tried to cheer up Ron but all he got in response was this, ``Mate I would be fine if this happened once in a while or there was some pattern to it but not when I am tired from Quidditch Practice and just want to go to sleep.'' They had been talking while walking and soon appeared in a dimly lit corridor. Jack instantly knew where they were and was surprised at how they had arrived here without even realising. ``Guys! I don't think we are supposed to be here!'' harry had just finished saying the words when they all heard Filch's Cat, Ms. Norris, ``Meow!'' Hermione went into shock and anger at once realising where they were and they might get in trouble, so she said the first thing that came to her mind, ``Run!''
Jack realised while running that even though he changed a lot of things, some events were bound to happen no matter what. This world hadn't yet broken off from the story and was still a Fantasy World until he or someone else became a God and made it their own Natural World. At this time, they had arrived at the door where the Golden Trio had met the first XXXXX level Magical Beast in the Harry Potter World, The Third Corridor Room. They all went inside the room and Jack made his absolute certain to keep everyone quiet and even casted a spell on the group, ``Silencio!'' when they heard Filch talk outside and then leave, they turned around to sigh in relief but when they saw the Giant Three Headed Dog in front of them, the sigh was swallowed back and they didn't even realise they had a spell cast on them. `Guys! I have cast the Silence Spell on us, Hermione slowly open the door and let's leave before the Giant Dog wakes up' Jack used Legilimency to converse and at first Hermione was surprised to hear his voice in her head but she followed his directions and they all got out.
The trip back to the common room was quiet and not because of the spell. As soon as they went inside Hermione erupted, ``Oh My God!'' before she could go further, Ron patted her head and calmed her down, ``It's alright Hermione! Don't freak out, breath in and out, in and out'' Jack and Harry felt happy for their friend but were also a bit uncomfortable with the two friends just ignoring them like dust and left to go to their rooms. Both of them felt asleep instantly, the pressure of a XXXXX level Magical Beast, even a sleeping one was no joke and all the tension from running from Filch alongside exhaustion from Body Refining Exercises, they didn't even notice Ron falling on his bed with a stupid grin on his face and dozing off as well.
