Chapter 166: Checking The Results
"But what happened to you?" Lily asked. "We went looking for you yesterday. Sirius ca back an hour later, all roughed up and wouldn't tell us any details." She huffed.
"And where is Sirius now?" Jas asked.
"Mmm… I'm not sure. Haven't seen him all day. I can say the sa for Remus and Peter. I think they are up to sothing…" Lily frowned. "I hope they don't get in trouble now that the year is ending."
"Okay, I'll go find them later. I first need to change robes." Jas was about to leave, but she stopped him.
"Hold on, Jas. You haven't told what had happened to you… are your robes burnt?" She was staring at his clothes with a confused expression.
"Just had a bit of an accident during a personal project of mine. Now if you excuse , I could really use a shower and so clean clothes," Jas said before making his way to the boys' bedroom.
"Wait, but… what about…" Lily sighed. There was sothing else she had wanted to ask.
Alicia poked her head from behind Lily. "And?..."
Lily let out a gasp. "Don't startle like that! I was thinking about sothing…"
"Did you ask him?" Alice said in a whisper.
"I didn't have ti…" Lily looked down. She had wanted to ask him about Bellatrix. Yesterday, Sirius seed convinced that she sohow knew where he was, and her instincts were telling her that sothing was suspicious there.
It made no sense to any of them that Jas and Bellatrix Black were so close. As far as they were aware, they only spoke during potion classes because the professor had placed them together.
But then again, Jas had also invited Bellatrix to their private defense lessons in the Room of Requirent.
Lily and the others had been surprised that Jas would trust soone from the Slytherin house with the location of such a valuable room.
"Oh dear. Don't worry. I'm sure there is nothing there…" Alice tried to hide her concern, but just like Lily, she also thought it was suspicious.
Jas arrived at his room and found it empty. He had no idea where his friends were, but that would have to wait.
He reached into his suitcase and pulled out his replacent robe. It was exactly the sa as the one he had been wearing.
"Soone wise once said that if you can make one, then you should always make two instead," Jas said as he began the process of moving all his stored possessions onto the new robes.
This did not take as long as one would imagine, despite the large number of items he had in there, because everything was properly stored and organized, making the task much easier.
Jas then went to the bathroom and removed all the bandages that had been placed on his body before applying a healing ointnt of his own creation, which was very effective at helping the damaged skin heal.
"I have gotten a bit careless this ti…" he thought as he looked at his injuries.
His eagerness to work with that piece of divine leather had pushed him to hurry things up instead of taking more ti to figure out a safer process like he would have done in the past.
Although eagerness was not the only reason. He had a Dark Lord to deal with, and he was still figuring out how to locate all the Horcruxes.
"I should work on that next. Using the one I already have in my possession, I could create so spell that would track the others." From what he knew about Voldemort's Horcruxes, all of them were connected sohow.
There was a ti when he was a Horcrux himself, and he would often get visions from the perspective of Nagini, Voldemort's snake, who was also a Horcrux.
"If there was a link, there must also be a way to follow that bond to the other side." Jas walked into the shower and began to clean himself up, removing all the dust and soot that had built up on him.
Feeling much better after a nice shower, Jas got dressed in his new robes and walked out of the common room.
He ignored the stares from the other students and walked at a brisk pace to the second floor of the castle.
Once he made sure no one was nearby, Jas approached a large statue and tapped his wand on it. This one then moved aside, revealing a small entrance that would lead him directly to the chamber.
This entrance was made by him with a lot of effort. The chamber had other points of access, but unfortunately, he could not use them due to no longer having the Parseltongue ability.
Salazar had put a lot of effort into ensuring that only his chosen heirs were able to gain access to his chamber.
However, that was not enough to stop him from making new entrances.
"I can still feel the heat." Jas noticed the temperature rising as he got closer to the main chamber.
And once he entered the room proper, he realized the terrible state that the chamber had been left in.
"Wow… I guess I really ssed up the place with my latest stunt." He should have predicted that turning the chamber into a furnace was going to cause massive damage to it, despite all its protections.
But this would all be worth it, as long as his project had succeeded.
Jas' eyes went to the center of the chamber, where a glowing object was still floating.
"It's still extrely hot." Jas noted that the piece of leather had turned into a perfect sphere and was levitating by its own magic.
"Mmm…" Jas began to examine the artifact without getting too close to it, as the heat was still enough to burn him if he wasn't careful.
"Looks like I will have to wait a bit longer to see the results of my experint." Jas had the feeling that the leather was still in the middle of a process.
And only when this process was concluded, Jas would be able to see if he had succeeded.
This leather was a material like nothing he had used before. It seed to have a will of its own to so degree. And right now, it was processing the materials that Jas had provided it with.
Jas stared at it for a bit longer before deciding to leave. Right now, there was nothing else he could do and could only trust that his thod had been correct.
"Mmm?…" As he turned around, he noticed that sothing was missing from the ceiling.
"Where did my basilisk skeleton go?"
