Chapter 266: Retirent

Many years later…

Jas was sitting in his chair. Lately, he had been feeling more tired than usual, and now he could barely stand up from his seat.

He glanced at his reflection on the window. His face was filled with wrinkles, and his long hair was as white as paper.

'It is near… I can feel it.'

Death was finally catching up with him again, but Jas was not scared or worried about it… in fact, he was just relieved.

There was a knock on the door. He almost missed it due to having his mind occupied with sothing else.

"Co in…" he spoke as loud as he could muster.

A young man in his late twenties walked inside while carrying a stack of papers.

"Headmaster, I brought a list of candidates for the position of Potion Professor."

"Mmm?… what about Margarett?" Jas asked.

"Ehm… she retired last year, rember?" The young man stared at him with concern.

"Ah… yes. She did." His mory was not what it used to be. And it looked like he was now forgetting important things. "Sorry, but can you take care of it for ? I'm sure you will make a good choice."

The young man's expression grew more pronounced. "Grampa… are you feeling okay? Do you want to call the nurse?"

Jas glanced back at the boy and smiled. He could not help but do so every ti he saw him.

This was actually his youngest great-grandson, and his na was Harry Jas Potter.

Not only that, but he also looked exactly as Jas did during his previous life at his age, down to the vibrant green eyes.

The circumstances of his birth were nothing short of extraordinary.

Because you see… his mother was actually a descendant of Lily Evans, who ended up marrying one of his many grandsons.

At so point, Jas had lost track of all his descendants, because there were too many to count, but he paid close attention to this one and ended up taking him under his wing.

'Perhaps it was fate that a Harry Jas Potter had to be born at so point. So even with my ddling, it ended up happening anyway.' Jas had considered this many tis.

Fate and prophecies had been an important part of his life, so it wasn't sothing he could ignore.

"Grandpa?" Harry called for him, noticing his absent eyes.

"Sorry… what were you saying?"

"Do you need to call the nurse? You look a bit pale…" Harry noted.

Jas made a gesture with his hand. "No need for that. I'm just a bit tired, that's all."

Harry didn't seem too convinced but still nodded slightly. "Okay, then get so rest. Leave the paperwork to , and I will check on you a bit later, okay?"

"Sounds good." Jas tried to sound as reassuring as possible, given his poor condition.

Harry gave him one last look before leaving his office and closing the door.

Jas lay back on his chair and sighed. "I'm so tired…"

He closed his eyes and allowed his mind to take him back into the past.

Just like his first life, this one had been a long and fulfilling one.

Thanks to him, the magical world had progressed quite a bit, making everyone's life easier.

He ended up earning even more titles than Albus Dumbledore, and the na of Jas Potter beca renowned everywhere. His legacy would live for many centuries after he was gone.

However, what Jas cared about the most were all the connections he had created in this life.

His friends, his wife, children, and grandchildren. As well as the many students he had educated over the course of his long life.

"Sirius…" His best friend kept living like a daredevil until well into his late forties, when he finally t a woman who could keep up with him and finally settled down. The two of them never had any children but lived happily until their later years.

"Peter…" He was one of the kindest people Jas had ever t. And much to everyone's surprise… extrely fertile apparently. He went on to have eight children, surpassing the Weasleys' record. He lived

comfortably with his massive family in a large house that Jas made for them off the coast of Scotland.

"Remus." The always calm and wise Remus. It took Jas a few years of work, but eventually he found a way to completely remove the curse from his friend, and many others afterwards.

The werewolf condition was no longer a life-changing affliction.

And it was thanks to this that Remus finally felt like he could live a full life. It did not take him long to find a woman to fall in love with. The man had never been short of candidates.

He went on to have a son and a daughter while he continued to work at Hogwarts as a professor.

"Bella…" His lovely wife had stayed at his side for almost eighty years, and he was grateful for every mont they spent together.

If soone had told him in his previous life that he would end up marrying Bellatrix and have a happy life together, he would have taken them as completely insane.

They never had more children after Violet, as they were both too busy with their jobs.

And soon after her graduation from Hogwarts, Violet went on to get married and give birth to a couple of twins, soon followed by another one. The girl wanted a big family, and she certainly got that.

At that point, they decided that Potter Manor was full enough.

Jas even had to repair the other three towers and expand them in order to house the families of his grandchildren.

Their daughter Violet was an old lady now, but was still around. She was now retired and living quietly at the Potter Castle.

Jas was happy that he didn't have to live to see her die as well.

'Hopefully… this ti I get to see them all.' He thought.

"Master."

Jas heard a familiar voice call for him and glanced over at the window, where he saw her.

"Ultima."
