16 Bella
The days were going the same jack was leading his life between learning magic, meditating soul power, learning new information about various topics.
by sitting on that chair on the core room the meditating speed also has become doubled, he now completed about 50% of his soul's eyes he can maintain it for more than10minutes continuously.
He wanted to go to the forbidden forest but was advised by the hat not to, till his powers of magic and soul increases, as there were some dangerous beasts as the hat described to him in the deeper of the forest. jack completed the 3 years of Hogwarts magical education and started the 4th year more advanced spells.
he also got some forbidden or forgotten spells from the core room it included magic,rituals even some borderline dark arts it was full of treasure trove many spells he got may not even known to Hogwarts professors, as some were lost and some were wantonly discarded for being dangerous were all available here or end up here.
the library a Hogwarts only contained about 30% of the content of the core area.
Jack asked Mr.dean about soul magic as he only knows about the soul palace nothing else about it like some soul spells as his book the Winchester guide did not include the spells it included only how to built and improve the soul.
"did you not receive the full Winchester heritage," Mr.dean asked jack. he guessed that jack had full knowledge so he did not offer him anything about the soul technique/spells.
"I only have this book" jack showed Mr.dean the book and how he gets the hold it.
"you are indeed very lucky to get this heritage in some second-hand book store it was probably fate as you are related to the soul"
Mr.dean goes through the book even he cannot open the rest pages but he was able to see the pages which jack opened by himself.
"so that's how it is " Mr.dean contemplated and said to jack.
"the soul palace of Winchesters is more profound than I thought to create abilities by creating the soul palace is unbelievable and this may be the reason they were at the peak," Mr.dean said to jack and continued "normal soul techniques are similar to creating palaces but there is huge difference between the two the other techniques does not give abilities they give a chance to add a spell onto the palace-like soul spells to initiate like abilities".
"I have my masters books about the soul techniques like to practice and refine the energy but they may not be compatible with you but the spells may not have the problem you can go through it"
"but the books are kept in my original form the hat so it might be some problem to take it out as it is presently at headmasters office"
"we will have to wait till the headmaster goes out of castle"
"Ok," jack nodded that asked Mr.dean about the owl.
jack introduces his owl Bella (owl name is Bella), to Mr.hat about its peculiarities towards soul magic as jack did not find information about the owl even in the core room.
Mr.hat used some type of soul spell as the energy he was radiating was full of soul power he passed through the soul to the owl to see if it absorb the soul energy it did not absorb it, but again jack used his soul energy the owl absorbed it.
"curios very curios it appears to be a soul bird the Soul Phoenix. but they are extinct and they do not look like this they have a different form than the owl but to absorb soul energy there is only that bird".
Mr hat then told jack about Soul Phoenix-like how the phoenix is the top beast for wizards the Soul Phoenix similarly was a rare magical beast companion for soul masters.
"maybe it is a hybrid or it did not awaken," jack asked Mr.hat
"it's possible to keep trying to push the soul energy into her every day probably it would be full and some change happen" jack just nodded to that comment.
"Maybe we can bring her to the core area and see any change happen to her through the core array as there soul energy was also more than normal"
so they brought the owl to the core array and jack sat down Bella was on his hand he again tried using the soul energy through her the effect was double till when they tried to do in the dormitories the owl seems to be happy or exhilarated as it was pecking contentiously.

Jack got to know more about her in these 3 months how she lost her husband her family in the war she was a lonely women jack wanted to have relationship with her not for her power like deputy headmistress but for sentiments too as she helped him in many ways like from bullying and before Hogwarts she taught him etc.
Jack also did not show his talent like a genius in all the classes just he appeared to be top in muggle born's like top 10 in whole first years he will be no 10 he will gradually increase his talent as his year's increases. too much spotlight may create harm than do good.
