Chapter 9
When they came to the Great hall almost all students were already there.
They sat at the table. Ron was already stuffing food into his mouth, while Harry and Neville didn't even to start their toasts. Jack didn't even bother to take one. He couldn't think of food after he had eaten more food yesterday than in the past three centuries. Hermione did notice that but didn't bother to tell Jack to eat something; she had indeed seen how much he had eaten the day before, almost as much as Ron. And not everyone could eat so much and then just continue eating.
As they almost finished with the breakfast Professor McGonagall came over to them and gave them their schedule. As she came to Jack she said. "Welcome to Gryffindor. I do hope that you will give your best to bring this house points and not let us lose any. I've got quite used to the House cup in my office." And with that she left them.
When they looked at their timetables Jack was eased when he saw that he had the same lessons as Harry and Ron did. But they didn't seem so happy about the timetable.
"I just can't believe this. This must be the worst Monday in history!"
"As you say, but now we have to go if we don't want to come too late to History of Magic. I do not believe that Bins would believe that this timetable is in our book about history." Said Harry dragging Ron and Jack with him. Hermione was already half way through the hall.
As they got into the classroom Harry and Ron sat together and Hermione sat with some girl Jack didn't now. As almost all seats were taken Jack had to sit just in front of the teacher. He didn't like this one bit because it would be harder to do something over the classes without the teacher noticing. And Jack couldn't sit still that long.
Jack almost flew to the ceiling when a ghost came through the wall in front of the class. Jack did start to accustom to the ghost but he hasn't really expect one to fly into the classroom when the bell rang.
But in the end it seemed that said ghost was the teacher. Jack couldn't believe that a ghost would teach them and later he would not understand how someone could be so boring.
Normally Binns wouldn't notice any of the students, but this time he just stared at Jack as if he saw a ghost. Ok maybe that wasn't a really good comparison. But after some time Binns seemed to shove his thoughts aside and started to teach. The others didn't seem to think lot of Binns sudden interest but also they didn't seem to really follow the teacher's speech. No one beside Hermione at least. Jack did try to follow it but couldn't. It was just too boring. And when Jack was bored he would do something stupid. He already looked around for something to do but couldn't find something. He looked back to where Harry and Ron sat. They seemed to play some sort of game with paper balls and wands, Jack would ask them later how to play it. He looked to his right. There was this Slytherin jerk. How did Luna call him? Ah, yeah it was Malfoy. The boy sat with his gorillas to his right.
Jack had decided to play a little game with that boy. Maybe he could bring him too laugh. Jack didn't like when someone wore such a dark face. He scribbled on a paper 'YoU KnOw wHat to Do oN thIs LessoN?' and levitated the piece of paper to Malloy's table.
Malfoy looked confused on the piece of paper in his hands. And then looked around and saw that just Jack was looking at him. When he noticed Jacks easy look while he leaned back in his chair, his face frowned. He scrabbled something on the paper and levitated it back to Jack, looking around to make sure that no one saw him communicating with a Gryffindor.
Jack unfolded the paper and read 'Not my problem. Ask your little Gryffindor friends. If you have to do anything, than make Binns stop talking he is boring.' Was the answer.
Jack looked at Malfoy with a risen eyebrow. Did the boy really just told him to hex the professor? It seemed that Malfoy tried to get Jack to do something to get detention of something like that. Jack didn't like that. He just tried to be friendly. What was this boy's problem? But it seemed that the most kind in this school had quite some problems with students from other houses then theirs.
As Malfoy saw that Jack wasn't going to make anything stupid he just turned back to his gorillas whose name Jack couldn't remember.
Jack looked around to make sure that no one was looking and took something out of his uniform. It was Babytooth. She looked quite happy that Jack had already some time for her. So that Jack played some games on paper with Babytooth to the end of the class.
Jack was so in thoughts trying to win the game that he didn't hear the bell ring so he jumped lightly as Hermione touched him on the shoulder and said that he should hurry up if he wanted to get to the dungeons on time.
At first Jack was a little uneasy about lessons in dungeons but then he saw it as just another challenge.
Jack didn't even know how much of a challenge this would become.
