Harry Potter World with Villain Choice System

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.
