Chapter 36: switching the real invisibility cloak with fake invisibility cloak

Dumbledore was surprised to find that Jonathan came to visit him.

But after finding that Jonathan wanted to have clarifications to his doubts in some subjects Dumbledore acted like a qualified teacher.

Jonathan started to shoot off his questions in alchemy that professor Mcgonagall and professor Snape failed to solve for him.

Dumbledore looked at the alchemy questions and he became interested.

In the past few days he is having problems to solve that are related to Harry and Ron.

So he was exhausted about the daily affairs.

On the other hand it was subject related problems which is easy to solve.

It was actually human nature when they saw some big unsolvable problem which took all of their efforts and then made them do some small simple problem their attitude would change.

It is like using hard work to climb the stairs but when descending it made them feel very relaxed.

This is the feeling Dumbledore has right now.

The person that caused this feeling would naturally receive the positive response.

That night Jonathan wrote a letter to Nicolas Flamel about how he was a fan of his work and few other things.

Jonathan did spoke to Dumbledore about alchemy and discussed many things giving a sense of pride and happiness to Dumbledore.

…………….

On the next day Dumbledore received a letter from Nicolas Flamel that only of the students at Hogwarts wrote him a letter.

Jonathan wrote the letter in a way that he did not admire Nicolas Flamel instead he admired the knowledge that Nicolas Flamel has.

This point was picked up by him and he became impressed.

Now he wanted to meet Jonathan.

But before that he wanted to ask Dumbledore to know more about Jonathan.

Dumbledore was dumbfounded because Jonathan moved too fast.

But when he read through the letter and the enthusiasm of Jonathan made Dumbledore think that Jonathan has passion towards the alchemy.

So he gave back a response to Nicolas about Jonathan and explained the situation of Jonathan to him.

Nicolas got the letter on that very day and started to think of various things related to the black family.

But Jonathan was innocent in this matter.

So he decided to test Jonathan first and see if he would be suited to carry his legacy.

He has already tested all of his descendents, disciples, talented people…..

But he did not find a person that can carry his legacy in alchemy.

So he did not have a successor till now.

Also he decided to end his life in a year or two as he already gave the philosopher stone to Dumbledore to destroy it.

So he did not have much time to live and he gave up on the successor thing.

But now when reading the letter from Jonathan, his hope came back to life.

With the reply from Dumbledore he became even more interested in Jonathan.

Jonathan’s family circumstances are complicated.

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 Jonathan.

Well these words took a strong root in the hearts of the listeners.

It is an irrefutable fact that they cannot refuse.

Jonathan 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.

Jonathan’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.

Jonathan was invited for the Christmas dinner at his house.

Dumbledore would accompany Jonathan there.

Then Nicolas would test Jonathan to see if Jonathan was capable to become his successor.

Jonathan 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.

Jonathan woke up very early so that he could switch real invisibility in the package with his normal invisibility cloak.

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.

Jonathan 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.”

Jonathan was shocked to know this information.

Since there is no change in the plot or problem for the protagonist, Jonathan would not be given special benefits that a villain should get from the system.

Jonathan sighed at this moment and then he went back to sleep.

Jonathan 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 ups so early.

He woke up late that day and after he woke up he got a call from Dumbledore.

Jonathan 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 Jonathan arrived he saw the phoenix on the small bird stand that is looking beautiful.

Jonathan came to it and looked into its eyes.

Chapter 37: Dumbledore sees the image of his dead friend in Jonathan

When Jonathan arrived he saw the phoenix on the small bird stand that is looking beautiful.

Jonathan came to it and looked into its eyes.

It is also looking at Jonathan.

He has a strange sense of closeness to it because they both possess one of the attribute that is common between them.

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.

Jonathan 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.

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.

Jonathan is currently doing that now.

The big phoenix slowly pecked on to a nut of some sort, broke it and gave it to Jonathan.

Jonathan 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 Jonathan,

On the other hand it felt closeness to Jonathan because of the vitality that Jonathan has which is similar to it.

It stands between the life and death while Jonathan possesses strong life energy that attracted it.

It gave the nut it cracked to Jonathan as a friendly gesture.

This is largely different from when Harry had contact with this phoenix.

Jonathan took the nut and in return he gave it a big red fruit called jumbo cherry to it to eat.

Phoenixes are said to be herbivores so they likes fruits and nuts but not meat.

While they both are enjoying their conversation with their sign language and some treats, Dumbledore arrived.

He was actually feeling strange because he felt that he has seen his friend in Jonathan.

It was his close friend that was a muggle but researched on many magical beasts.

Sadly his life span is not long like the wizards.

He was gone but the way Jonathan is talking with his phoenix is exactly like his friend would do.

This took him back into the past and finally came back to the reality.

Well Jonathan did not do that intentionally.

In the past life after he was betrayed and he transformed into a villain he was close to animals.

At that time he believed that beasts are more loyal to him than humans.

He petted many beasts from dogs to lions;

There are even crocodiles and hawks in his pets.

Till his death he was never betrayed by them.

Even the snow fox he treasured in his pets that is known for its cunningness has never betrayed him.

This closeness to the beasts is helping him right now too.

Finally Dumbledore arrived down and Jonathan noticed Dumbledore.

He stopped his little things with the bird and looked at Dumbledore.

“Nicolas has written a letter to me saying that he wants to meet you.

He wants me to bring you to Christmas dinner today.

Do you wish to go?”

Jonathan immediately nodded his head and he was very happy to go.

He acted more like a child of his age.

Dumbledore was amused and told Jonathan to go and prepare.

They will be leaving in the evening.

Jonathan was happy that his plan has succeeded.

Before leaving he told the phoenix that he would bring it something good later or it can come to visit him later for a treat.

Jonathan wanted to prepare a gift for the phoenix just like he got one for Goldy.

He already sent gifts for both wily and Kreacher.

For wily, Jonathan sent it a new dress along with a letter telling it that it was free and it can work for him if it wanted to.

Also there is a little money along with the letter in the cover for it as the bonus salary.

It was really moved into tears and Kreacher it.

Jonathan authorized them to have wine and some goose for Christmas dinner from the family account money that he left for them.

So they are having fun with extra big meal.

Usually they eat cheap food or leftover food.

But today they are having a king’s meal.

This made them determined to be with Jonathan more and more.

That is not all Jonathan sent two bracelets to the two girls with good designs, one for Daphne and the other one for pansy that is in love with him.

He got some gifts from them too.

His Goldy received some good treats from him that are its favorite.

Chapter 38: Christmas dinner with Nicolas Flamel

He got some gifts from them too.

His Goldy received some good treats from him that are its favorite.

The extra left with him were given to the phoenix today.

Jonathan did not give any gifts to Malfoy family or Hermione or any other person that he did not like.

After Jonathan got ready he was taken to the house of Nicolas in the evening.

Dumbledore has other things he wanted to take care of during the night.

The house of Nicolas Flamel is very normal just like the house of slug horn.

In the house only the old couple of Nicolas and his wife live.

There is an old house elf called merry that is working here.

Dumbledore introduced Jonathan to Nicolas and Jonathan acted very politely without showing any airs of the black family or nobility.

Nicolas nodded inside his mind.

They went to have a dinner directly.

The dining table is full with various rare dishes.

Jonathan was happy to eat.

Well humans earn money for two main things not matter what they say.

It is to eat good tasty food and to sleep comfortably.

These are the most primary needs that any person wants to have.

So Jonathan perfectly enjoyed his every meal and gets the full sleep he wanted not matter what happens.

Well he did this as much as possible for him to have.

During the lunch he did not act like a hungry ghost but he did compliment the dishes that he liked and ate without showing much modesty.

Naturally the old people thought that Jonathan did not get to eat good dishes during his time at Malfoy family.

This increased their pity towards him and this in turn increased their closeness towards him along with good impression.

Even Dumbledore has different thoughts.

Sometimes it is not big things but some minute details would cause big impact when it matters the most.

Finally the dinner is over and the group went to the hall to have desserts.

Right then Nicolas started to talk to Jonathan one on one.

“Mister Jonathan, did you like the dinner?”

Jonathan modestly said.

“They are very well made, thank you for the treat sir.”

Jonathan said with puppy dog eyes and innocent face.

A villain needs to be able to produce many expressions at moment’s notice so that he can change the situations and make people trust him more.

Then Nicolas asked another question about Jonathan’s letter and his interest in alchemy.

Jonathan then started to explain about his thought on alchemy and his littler understanding.

For his age his understanding of alchemy is already great.

So Nicolas was satisfied with the response.

Dumbledore was also satisfied with the response too.

But there is still one more point that Nicolas has to ask Jonathan to make sure that Jonathan is of right character.

“Mister Jonathan, do you know about the philosopher’s stone.”

Jonathan nodded his head and started to explain what he knows.

“The Philosopher's Stone was a legendary alchemical substance with magical properties.

This ruby-red stone could be used to create the Elixir of Life, which made the drinker immortal, as well as transform any metal into pure gold.

The only known stone in this current era was made by you sir.

But I think that there is one flaw to it.

Based on the ancient texts related to the philosopher's stone it should also give youth making the person look at his optimum body situation along with immortality.

But the stone made by you is naturally not to that level.

In the past there was one philosopher’s stone available in ancient Egypt that is said to have come from the sun god Ra.

It is called the star Isis that would produce gold along with the youth and immortality water.

Also this stone can cure illnesses and diseases of the people keeping the place it was present healthy and prosperous.

Similarly there was a philosopher’s stone appearance in India in the hands of a god king lord Krishna.

They called it Shamantakamani

It is red is a red stone that is said to produce gold under the sun light and keep the person wearing it and the place it present devoid of disasters with good prosperity and health.

Also the stone emits a strong light like the sun itself….”

Jonathan explained the knowledge he has on the philosopher’s stone.

Jonathan was frank without any airs.

He did not point out that Nicolas is at fault but he said about various types of philosopher’s stones previously present and the difference.

Nicolas nodded his head.

He understands the fault of his own creation.

He was satisfied with Jonathan being frank unlike others that praise him for his creation and nonsense.

Dumbledore was also happy as his thought of negativity towards Jonathan started to break off.

Jonathan smirked inside his mind as he was just playing tricks.

With this solved Nicolas asked Jonathan.

“Mister Jonathan, what would you do if I gave you the philosopher’s stone?

Would you make gold?

Would you like to be immortal like me?”

Jonathan knows how to answer this.

“Sir, with all due respect, I could not take the philosopher’s stone.

Even if I took it, I could not keep it with me.

It is no different than having a death sentence to a person like me.

Even though I like the gold that can become a funding means for my future research,

Likes the immortality that can let me research as much as I want with extended life.

Well every researcher likes that.

But I prefer to life to see another day with good food and good sleep instead of holding something I should not have held on to my hands.

I want to research and become someone great but for that I have to stay alive first.

It might look selfish but I cherish my life.

So I cannot accept the philosopher’s stone, even if you magnanimously gave it to me.

I know my limits very well.”

Chapter 39: became Nicolas Flamel’s disciple

“…So I cannot accept the philosopher’s stone, even if you magnanimously gave it to me.

I know my limits very well.”

Jonathan said clearly showing his desire but also the restrain about this matter.

Previously when Nicolas looked for successors they either told him that,

They are not interested in the philosopher’s stone which is a lie or

They are either greedy for the philosopher’s stone like blind idiots with their intentions written on their face.

Jonathan did not show either side instead he told them that he valued his life more than other things.

This is the most important point.

Originally something like this would only happen to a protagonist but here it is happening to a villain.

Well Jonathan used his means to gain this chance but still things seem a little more on the easier side.

This was because the current incident did not have any relation to the plot he was currently a part of.

With Jonathan’s words Nicolas was satisfied and asked.

“Jonathan black, do you wish to become my disciple?”

He asked and Jonathan widened his eyes for a moment and immediately nodded his head.

As if Nicolas Flamel would take his words back Jonathan immediate spoke.

“Thank you for the offer

I am very grateful if Master Nicolas would take me in as a disciple.

I accept it with all my heart.”

Nicolas nodded his head and gave an old book to Jonathan.

It was not thick but actually it was magically shrunk.

It can be said to be the thickest book that Jonathan had ever seen.

“This is all my research and information on my insights.

I did not have long to life as I have already decided to end this long journey of life.

I hope that you would succeed in learning the basics before I leave.

You can stay here till the end of the winter break and also come here in your summer break.

During this time I will teach you.

When you are at school you have any doubts you can write a letter to me….”

He told Jonathan a series of instructions and Jonathan nodded his head directly without saying much.

Dumbledore would return to Hogwarts along with Jonathan for the night.

Jonathan would pack few clothes and Dumbledore would send him back here tomorrow morning.

…………

Jonathan spent the remaining of the Christmas and winter vacation in the house of Flamel learning the alchemy.

Even with the fast comprehension that he has the speed at which he learnt is very slow.

The books back at Hogwarts that are available for the students are all low level books.

The most advanced information books are safely stored in restricted section.

But the book in the hands of Jonathan is the most advanced book with vast amount of knowledge.

His learning speed is many times slower compared to when he flipped through the books before.

Jonathan doesn’t care what is happening back at Hogwarts as he has his own things to do.

While he was learning alchemy at a fast pace, Harry and Ron are rolling in the library and Harry used the normal invisibility cloak to enter the restricted section.

Unfortunately the normal invisibility cloak did not work as good as the original one.

So it would sometimes fail sometimes did not cover properly, sometimes it would leave his scent for the beasts to notice him…

Along with his already clumsy self things would not go as perfectly as they should have.

But still they made no progress.

Without the Quidditch practice as Harry was not selected things are very boring for Harry.

Also there is this mirror of Erised.

Jonathan really wanted to take a look in that mirror.

He wanted to know his deepest desire.

But he was sure what he would see in the mirror.

Soon the winter vacation is over and Jonathan was sent back to Hogwarts by Nicolas.

Before leaving he specifically told Jonathan to learn more about the basics.

In the past few days Jonathan showed great progress.

Nicolas thought that Jonathan has strong foundation or affinity to alchemy.

So he taught him at the pace that Jonathan could catch.

It was fast and they covered most of the basics.

Nicolas that returned back home made some small changes to his will.

First of all he gave a little extra fortune to Jonathan.

He was marveled by the idea of the goblins of Gringotts managing his wealth for him.

He was shocked that Jonathan was very good at financial matter.

But he understood that if Jonathan wanted to save his fortune then he has to learn few tricks.

So he directly added the extra fortune to Jonathan along with few safe keeping special materials used in alchemy.

They were all sent to the vault of Jonathan directly.

It is the vault number ‘777’

It is very lucky for Jonathan to gain this vault.

This is not the only wealth he got as during this winter vacation.

Cassiopeia black that should be his great grandmother in some way died without any descendents.

So, all of Cassiopeia black’s wealth was also added to Jonathan’s wealth.

The transfer procedures along with the house elf Cassiopeia black were all arranged by Kreacher and wily.

They are currently managing things and Jonathan’s grandmother has already talked to the remaining members of black family before she died.

So when they died all the wealth would flow to Jonathan by specific will.

The items procurement and proper handling was done by Kreacher and other house elves that are ordered by her.

So Jonathan doesn’t have to lift a finger to gain the wealth.

After returning back from the vacation Jonathan first met up with Daphne and pansy.

Well not in the open but secretly.

No one was bothered about this.

Jonathan took them straight to the room of requirements.

Inside of the room appeared to be a beautiful bed and neat arrangements for makeup….

The girls blushed looking at the arrangements here.

Chapter 40: first kiss

Inside of the room appeared to be a beautiful bed and neat arrangements for makeup….

The girls blushed looking at the arrangements here.

Jonathan did not give any time for them to think and kissed Daphne on her lips.

This sudden kiss made her resist a little for a moment but she slowly got in line and reciprocated.

On the side pansy’s face turned red immediately.

She was envious that Daphne was able to take Jonathan’s first kiss.

But she was not bother by it because she likes Jonathan more.

She knows that she has to share Jonathan to get his love.

So she decided to take a step back and stand after Daphne.

Not physically but mentally she thinks that Daphne is the main wife while she is Jonathan’s little lover or second wife or mistress.

She did not like the post but she has to accept it for Jonathan.

After few minutes Daphne was out of breath and Jonathan let her go to take deep breath.

On the other hand Jonathan looked at pansy.

He can easily tell her thoughts just looking at her face and nervousness.

Jonathan spoke to her.

“You are not the second wife or lover or mistress pansy.”

Jonathan said and paused for a moment.

Pansy’s mind immediately filled in the gap that Jonathan took.

She thought that Jonathan did not like her and wanted to tell her that she is only a friend.

Immediately her eyes turned red and a tear appeared at the edge of her eyes.

Jonathan immediately pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly.

Looking straight into her face he kissed her straight away taking her by surprise.

She is very quickly to reciprocate.

Even though she acts like a spoiled little brat and unreasonable woman some things she is very gentle inside.

Daphne on the side recovered and she has a smile on her face looking at pansy making out with Jonathan.

She has a complicated look and she is still in the embrace of Jonathan.

After few minutes she stopped kissing pansy letting her breath and then spoke.

“You both are my women of the same level.

Daphne was close to me since child hood but you won over the gap with your trust and obsessive love.

I have a magic that can let me see how much a person loves me.

You both are at the same level.

You deeply love me to the point of obsession.

I cannot hurt either of you leaving one of you and loving only one of you.

So you have to share me but my love is endless for both of you.

Jonathan said and he hugged them both tightly.

After that they actively kissed Jonathan for a while.

Jonathan did not make any further actions other than kissing them.

Before leaving they kissed on his cheeks close to his lips at the same time and left the room of requirements to their dorm rooms.

This did not end here.

Jonathan smiled sweetly and went to the library.

There is another person that is waiting to get his kiss.

But this is going to be a bumpy raid.

In the library the trio of Harry’s group searched for the name Nicolas Flamel.

They did not find it even now.

Or to be precise they did not see the name of Nicolas Flamel in the card they Neville for the chocolate frog.

But that would happen few days before the Quidditch match on February 22nd.

Since it was so long Jonathan has plenty of time to put his fingers at the right place to get what he wants.

Well Harry is not in Quidditch so they might find it a little early.

Also Hermione guilty consciousness person, she is thinking of a way to apologize to Jonathan.

But after going through Jonathan’s plan she would not think that he is not a good guy.

With that Jonathan went to the library to study some materials.

The trio of Harry’s group is fiddling their own things.

Jonathan did not even bother to look at them or even Hermione.

She noticed him when he arrived and her thoughts are complicated.

After a while Jonathan left the library and Hermione thought that it was a good time to meet with Jonathan and apologize for some things before.

Also she has to thank him for saving her before during the troll incident.

With that in mind she told Harry and Ron that she would be back in a while and left the library hot on heals behind Jonathan.

Ron and Harry are too engrossed in searching for Nicolas that they did not noticed this particular incident.

Well it was not Jonathan’s fault.

Jonathan did not go back to Gryffindor instead he went all the way to the room of requirements.

Hermione was naturally a very curious woman.

So she followed Jonathan to see where he is going.

When she saw that a strange door suddenly appeared out of nowhere from the castle wall, has made her shocked.

Jonathan entered into the door and the door did not close as he kept it open for Hermione to enter inside flowing him out of curiosity.

Well since the door is open she wanted to take a peek inside before going back quickly.

So she entered into the room slowly with curiosity like a cat.

With her fluffy hair she really looked like a cat.

But as soon as she entered into the room the door behind her vanished leaving her no way out.

She was both shocked and confused.

But the braveness inside her was still there and she moved forward.

Jonathan did not create a complicate room.

It was a normal room where there is a reading place, a rattan chair giving a strange harmony for a peaceful environment.

Jonathan was sitting on the chair with a book on his hand as reading without caring about anything.

Hermione on the other hand was dazed looking at his handsome appearance along with the surrounding setting.
