Chapter 154: A Private Conversation
"Rodolphus? You an that huge brute?" Peter asked.
"Shh! Lower your voice," John Bell, Charlie's younger brother, made an exaggerated gesture to Peter.
By this point, they had caught the attention of everyone at the table.
"We can't speak of this now…" Charlie said.
"Can you at least tell us how—" Remus realized that many seniors at the Slytherin table were now glaring at them. "Never mind…" He had the feeling that if they continued this conversation, many of those boys were going to attack them.
Jas was resting his head on top of his hands and barely paying attention to what his friends were talking about, as it was of little interest to him.
Of course, he knew exactly how Rodolphus had died. The capsule of basilisk venom that Jas had left inside his body could have been activated from anywhere in the world, and he had done just that before it was ti to return to school.
Rodolphus Lestrange was an extrely violent and dangerous individual, even for his young age. There was no telling what he would try on the Black sisters now that his engagent was broken.
It was also just a matter of ti before the news about the agreent between his family and Bella's.
Not that he had any intention of telling anyone, but these things always find their way out sohow.
And once that information beca public, Rodolphus would have beco enraged and uncontrollable.
'One less problem.' Jas didn't feel too bad. He had t the man as an adult, and he was an unredeemable piece of shit. His brother was not much better either.
He lifted his head for a mont and gave the Slytherin table a passing glance.
As the others had said, the mood over there was not a good one. And Jas was sure there was more to it than just the death of Lestrange.
The complete destruction of the Rosier House may have also had sothing to do with it.
Even if no students from that house were currently studying at Hogwarts, news like that was not sothing mbers of ancient pure-blood houses were used to hearing.
Many of them must have grown up with the idea that they were untouchable, just because their families had been around for many generations. This also made them feel like they were above everyone who didn't co from a distinguished and old magical house.
That was now changing, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
He found Bella sitting on the other side of the table. She seed to be having an animated conversation with her older sister.
The two of them had grown much closer over the year.
anwhile, their other sister, Narcissa, appeared to be quite isolated.
The girl had dedicated everything she had to catch the attention of Lucius Malfoy, and now that she had lost that, she was having a hard ti figuring out what to do with her life.
On the other side were Malfoy, the remaining Lestrange brother, Snape, and all of their minions.
Jas caught Lucius throwing a few glares his way but imdiately looked away when he realized that Jas was watching him.
Rabastan Lestrange, however, did not look away. He was glaring at Jas with a defiant deanor, as if it was a challenge.
'Foolish boy…' Jas yawned again and returned to his resting position.
'Hopefully, tonight I can get so proper rest,' he thought as he closed his eyes.
The calm did not last long. Just a couple of minutes later, the professors, as well as the Headmaster himself had entered the hall and pronounced a short speech, mourning the death of Rodolphus Lestrange and wishing everyone luck with their final exams.
Dinner carried out in a very solemn manner.
Jas could not rember a single ti that Hogwarts was this quiet during an opening dinner. But that suited him just fine.
He finished his al and was about to stand up to leave the hall when he felt the stare of Sirius.
Jas gave his friend a gesture, and this one stood up from his chair.
"Where are you going? There's still dessert," Peter told them.
"I'm not really that hungry today. Just tired," Jas said.
" too," Sirius added. "I'll see you later at the common room."
"Sure…" Remus responded, right before exchanging a look with Peter.
"Well then, if you excuse us." Jas stood up and began to walk out of the room, with Sirius following closely behind.
The hallways were still empty, since most students were still enjoying their food at the hall.
Jas walked with purpose, and Sirius kept at his side.
"Jas," he suddenly spoke.
"Not here. Wait for a minute," he cut him off while continuing his walk up to the third floor.
Once there, he located one of the abandoned classrooms he was looking for, opened the door, and indicated for Sirius to enter.
Then he used his wand to place a locking charm, as well as so privacy ones.
"Okay, what is it that you have heard?"
"I heard that you are going to marry my cousin Bella. Have you lost your mind?" Sirius snapped.
At this point, Jas wasn't sure if Sirius was upset because he was trying to be protective of his family, or because he disliked his cousins so much that he would rather his friends have nothing to do with them.
"Is that all your brother told you?"
"How do you know it was Regulus?"
"Who else?" Jas raised an eyebrow. "You barely speak with your parents. And I know that the three sisters would be better at keeping a secret."
"Alright… yes, he only told that our uncle and grandfather went to your house to make the contract and have it signed," Sirius said.
"Okay then...it is true. Officially, at least, Bella and I are engaged. Although I imagine that Regulus was able to take a guess as to why this arrangent had to be made in such a short period of ti," Jas responded.
"What are you talking about?" Now Sirius looked confused.
"I will explain it, but please pay attention because I'm tired and want to get so rest…" Jas sat down on one of the tables and began to speak again.
