Becoming A God In Harry Potter - 21 Philosopher's Stone

After the battle, the group was now standing in front of the Mirror and were conversing as to what it contained. “Probably something the Dark Lord needed to return to life, wait! Do you remember what the greatest accomplishment of Nicholas Flamel was?!!” after five minutes of ongoing discussions, finally Padma was the one to think of the correct answer. “Oh My God! So you mean the Mirror has the Philosopher’s Stone inside?!” Jack was looking at his friends who were still excited even after he told them that Voldemort escaped. They were more focused on solving a puzzle than the fact that the Dark Lord was still out there. “I wanna see it now, I mean the Stone that can turn anything into gold and is the main ingredient for the Potion of Immortality. I can’t wait to break it open and examine it.” Looking at Theo’s excited face, everyone else’s faces lit up as well. The chance to study a legendary artifact like the Philosopher’s Stone was rare and mustn’t be passed on. Jack thought of using the stone as a reference and asked Harry to face the Mirror, “ Harry, can you go and stand in front of the Mirror please?!” Harry didn’t know why his friend wanted him to look into the mirror but he did so anyway and soon came to realise why.

When Harry put his hand in his pocket and took out the stone, everyone was shocked and then instantly erupted into cheers. “Oh My God! Harry, who did you get that stone?!” Ron’s shout woke everyone from their daze and they bombarded Harry with questions who looked over at Jack with a questioning gaze. At first Jack wanted to let Harry be under fire for a while but when the gaze intensified, he finally spoke, “Hey Guys! Harry doesn’t know either, I do.” Jack had closed his eyes to look smug when he said those words but he felt a blast of wind and opened his eyes to see his friends standing in front of him with expectant gazes. Normally this would be the time t prank them, but Jack was looking straight into their eyes and saw the desire to know and so he told them of what he knew, “Well, first of this object is known as the Mirror of Erised, which when spelled backwards…” Daphne muttered while looking into the mirror, “Desire…” Jack saw her looking into the Mirror and smiling and knew she had fallen for the charms of the Mirror. “Daphne! Thank you for becoming the example, this mirror shows you what you want in life the most, now I said what you want, not the future, not the way to get it but what you want.” Jack let the group take in his words while he went over to Daphne and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

By the time she realised what had happened, Jack had walked back to the Mirror and looked back and winked at her. He had never seen a girl blush so much in both his lives, but he could also see the smile on her face and felt happy with his decision. He was training to become a God and it was going to be a long road and if he had no one to share the road, by the time he reached his destination, if he reached his destination, he would be alone and that was not the goal, now and never. “well, now that you have digested those words, I know you have other questions as well. let me speak first and then you can ask me if I left anything out, okay?! Good..” Then Jack went on to explain how he had `known’ that Quirrell was possessed because he had seen him try to harm Harry and even bring in the Troll at the Dungeon among other things. Of course, he was bullsh*tting andall of it was a lie but he felt it a bit too early to tell them about his death and reincarnation. After he finished his explanation, Theo raised his hand and asked him a strange thing that he was never expecting to hear after telling them how brilliantly he had deduced Quirrell’s identity. “You Done?!” when Jack heard that he was shocked but he still nodded in response and found Theo turning to Harry and asking him for the stone, “Harry can I have the stone for a minute?” who proceeded to give him the stone with no questions asked.

As soon as Theo had the stone, everyone surrounded him debating on how it functioned, what type of materials were used in the making and what type of spells and charms might have enchanted the object. “Do you think it might contain Magical Beast Blood?! It might contain a purifier That could clean the blood of toxins andprovide a burst of Life Force for the drinker.” Hermione said that with a questioning voice but everyone felt it to be fairly accurate. Theo went next and his ideas weren’t any worse than Hermione’s’, “You might be right Hermione, though that would mean the material used to hold the blood has to be strong enough to withstand high level of magical energies without it radiating.”Neville was the one to continue the train of theories and his was a shocker, “ Yeah but even with that it wouldn’t be enough to hold it together, the Stone must be enchanted with spells, charms and magical formations.” Jackwas the one to confirm all of their theories, had been using his Magical Sharingan on the Stone and found all of what his friends said to be true, “You guys are all correct but there are still other things in the stone that make it so magical.”

Jack looked inside and found that the inside of the stone was quite a lot bigger than what appeared on the outside and inside there were several zones, one with Magical Beast Blood, one with some kind of potion and others were filled with some other materials like Calming Lilies, Golden Tail Fruits and others. Neville was correct as well, there were several formations inside, some had the function of protecting while others were mixing or separating ingredients. At this time Hermione screamed, “Oh My God! We can’t be here. I sent a message to Dumbledore before I came here and according to the Mark I set on the letter, he will arrive here in about twenty minutes if not faster!!” at once the group dropped the Stone and put some minor enchantments on it before leaving the place in high speed. They arrived back at their Dormitories and were in their beds before even Ten Minutes had passed.

Meanwhile Dumbledore’s returned to Hogwarts and in his head he’s cursing at someone, `That damn Letter! It was enchanted to confuse me, If I was in my prime such a trick would have never confused me. I have been growing careless during my time at Hogwarts. I have to start practicing again.’Dumbledore had hurried back to Hogwarts after he received a Flying Letter on his way outside while he was Enchanted by the letter from Quirrell, he had thought it was Voldemort asking for a meeting or to ask for the stone but it was just an Enchanted Letter and he was under the spell and out of Hogwarts just like Voldemort wanted. He was lucky that the flying letter came and found him and he was happy and surprised at the same time but he was even more surprised when he found all trials cleared, the final trial room destroyedand the Philosopher’s stone just sitting there in front of him instead of being in the mirror. It was a strange day for the `greatest wizard of this age’ and he just wanted to go to sleep at this moment.
