Chapter 190: A Tempting Offer
"What makes you jump to that conclusion? And please, be brief." Jas knew that the old man was going to figure sothing out after seeing the mories of his encounter with the witch, but he didn't expect him to get there this fast.
"You used a Primordial Fla… and I do know for a fact how impossible it would be for soone as young as you are supposed to be… to do sothing like that." Dumbledore ford a cup shape with his hands.
After a few short sparks, beautiful golden flas manifested in his hands, and Dumbledore held them in place, floating in between them.
"You have the Gilded Ember." Jas looked genuinely surprised to find out that Dumbledore, like himself, was in possession of one of them. This is because he had no recollection of Dumbledore using it during all his encounters with Voldemort.
Dumbledore smiled. "There are only five Primordial Flas in the entire world, and each of them can only be used by one person at a ti. The most prestigious alchemist in the world would give anything to get their hands on one of these… this golden fla was passed on to by the one who taught everything. My old teacher, Nicolas Flal. He is the one who taught about these wonders of the magical world."
The golden fla disappeared, and the gentle warmth that was being emanated went away.
"Even after all these years, I can only manifest a fraction of its true power. That is how difficult they are to control," Dumbledore explained. "My old teacher told everything he knew about these mysterious, magical phenona. But the most mysterious of them all, was the Argent Fla…" His eyes went to Jas.
"According to the few journals written by ancient alchemists, the Argent one is the most unique and powerful of them all, and no one has been able to control its destructive capabilities since the dawn of ti, and it has not been for lack of trying."
"I didn't think you were that knowledgeable about Primordial Flas. I underestimated you, Headmaster." Jas said. He had used it without considering that soone watching could actually guess the origins of those flas, as it was a very niche piece of knowledge, even among alchemists.
"Mister Potter… I could believe that a fifteen-year-old boy may have enough talent to beco an alchemist at such a young age, even if that would require an unprecedented amount of talent. But to summon and fully control sothing like the Argent Fla… that is just impossible. Even my old teacher, who had been around for many centuries, could not claim such a feat. Your abilities and knowledge seem to surpass my own, and sothing like that is…"
"Impossible." Jas said. He could no longer claim that he was just very talented. So things require more than talent, but also an imasurable amount of knowledge, and that takes ti to acquire.
"If you really are Jas Potter," Dumbledore said, "then the only conclusion I could draw would involve a gross abuse of ti magic."
"I am a Potter." Jas responded. "I can only tell you that, and one more thing… I did not choose to be here, and neither do I know the purpose of my presence in this ti, although I have so ideas."
"You were sent here against your will?..."Dumbledore remained pensive for a long minute.
"Do you want to leave the school?" Jas broke the silence.
Dumbledore tilted his head. "And why would I want that?"
"You expelled because you thought I was dangerous. Now I have proven to you that I am even more dangerous than you thought."
Dumbledore shook his head. "What made you dangerous was having too much power and little maturity to understand the risks you were taking. Now that I am more aware of your true abilities, this is no longer the case. You are a wise wizard, Jas Potter. One who has surpassed the level of a re Warlock like myself. If anything, I wish to keep you in the school for as long as I can."
Jas raised an eyebrow. "Are you taking back my expulsion?"
Dumbledore smiled. "I could do more than that. What do you think about becoming a professor at this school?"
"You have to be joking… I don't even have my OWLs yet." Jas responded, while wondering about the old man's change of heart.
"I'm sure you already have more than enough wisdom to pass the exam. I can help you get that done during the sumr, as well as the NEWTs exams. Now, you would need to start as an assistant professor during the first year… what do you say? Don't you find attending classes very boring?"
"I do find them boring…" Jas couldn't deny that. The school level was just too basic for him at this point.
"You don't need to give an answer right now. Just think about it and tell your decision before the school year is over."
"And you will trust with your students? You don't even know who I really am. And that is sothing that I will never reveal." Jas had already decided that his past as Harry Potter was a piece of information he was going to take to his grave.
'I do not want anyone asking questions about the future. That was way too dangerous,' Jas thought.
"I will never ask you about it. Any knowledge about the future would be too dangerous for anyone to have," Dumbledore said.
"Right…" Jas responded.
"And your character was never up to question." Dumbledore glanced at Fawkes. "I already tested that during our first proper eting. No, I was just worried about your thods, but that is no longer a concern. So yes, I will trust you with this. Otherwise, I would never have offered you the position in the first place."
"Very well." Jas stood up from the chair. "If there is nothing else, I am in dire need of so rest."
"Rest well, Mister Potter. And if you need anything to aid in your little friend's recovery," Dumbledore pointed at the rings on his fingers, "do tell . I can provide you with any ingredients that you could require."
"Thank you for the offer. I'll let you know if it cos to that." Jas left the Headmaster's office.
'So, not only am I not getting expelled, but he is offering a job…' Jas could not have predicted this turn of events when he woke up this morning.
