13 Forgotten History
They arrived at the Hogsmeade station in the early evening and were ready in the school robes. they were welcomed by a Half-Giant Rubeus Hagrid.
"What a tall man" both the twins exclaimed.
Hagrid starting leading them by calling out "First Years... First Years... This way..... This way....."
They were taking the boats to reach the castle. four to five persons a boat a hagrid leading them to the castle.
"WOW" Jack's first impression of the castle was that it was truly magnificent it was huge and at the night with the moonlight, it was truly a great sight to behold. It may be one of the reasons they will bring first years through the boat jack thought to himself.
Jack used his soul eyes on the tower it was like rays of sunlight flashes towards him the castle was full of magic. he closed his eyes immediately it was too overwhelming but the rays he saw contained soul power, not just magic it was a guess as he did not have looked for a long time but he was sure there was soul energy present at the castle and not in the least amount.
Soon they arrived at the shore and along in a group they started to move towards the entrance they were welcomed by Professor Minerva McGonagall.
"Hello to you all I am Professor Minerva McGonagall the Deputy Headmistress"
"In about 2 minutes the sorting ceremony will start so all of you form two lines and be ready to go in".
After saying that she let them inside the Great Hall, Jack's first impressions were that the hall was lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting.
By looking at The Enchanted Ceiling it was like there were outside rather than inside it gave a mysterious feeling.
At the center of the staff, there was a throne where an old man with a beard with a benevolent smile with the twinkle in his eyes can be seen sitting, obviously it was Dumbledore. Jack did not dare to stare at him and was observing alongside his peers here and there.
"The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts." Minerva McGonagall said while bringing the table where a hat was on it.
The Hat started singing.
Are you afraid of what you'll hear?
Afraid I'll speak the name you fear?
Not Slytherin! Not Gryffindor!
Not Hufflepuff! Not Ravenclaw!
Don't worry, child, I know my job,
You'll learn to laugh if first, you sob.
One by one the names were called and the sorting started.
"George Weasley" after name called out George went forward" the hat was placed on his head.
"Another Weasley ah..ah... I know where to put you"
"Griffindor"
"Fred Weasley"
.
.
.
"Griffindor"
"Hufflepuff"
"Slytherin"
"Ravenclaw"
...
"Jack Wilson" finally it was his turn he was second last his aunt just nodded at him he went and sat at the table"
"A Soul Master"
As soon as the hat was kept on jack's head a voice reverberated in his consciousness. Jack closed his eyes and went in his consciousness there was an old man like an apparition in his main consciousness rather than the secondary one.
he looked towards Jack's soul palace and said "there is still hope after all" he said while staring at jack.
"what hope" jack asked him.
He did not reply just said" based on your memories of second consciousness you want to be in Hufflepuff"
Jack just nodded.
"I will meet you at midnight do not go to sleep". as he heard the last sentence after that the old man faded from his consciousness.
"Hufflepuff" voice reverberated at the hall Jack looked towards his aunt and joined the Hufflepuff table there was Cedric present there all congratulating him for joining the house.
Soon the sorting ceremony completed after that Dumbledore gave a boring speech about the restrictions and what is forbidden like the forest after that he welcomed the first years.
"This is our head of the house Pomona Sprout" the other Hufflepuff started introducing to all the teachers one by one about what they teach and all.
The feast started, the food was great there was literally everything jack wanted to eat including the deserts.
After the feast was completed Dumbledore again got up and said School song.
there was boo...ing..... in the background but the song started.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,...
......
.......
After the horribly boring song we were led by our house perfects to the common rooms.
The Hufflepuff Dormitories/Common Room was along the way of the kitchen along the right corridor its entrance was a pile of large barrels, found stacked together.
The perfect knocked the bottom second barrel in code Helga Hufflepuff and the entrance was seen. It was like a tunnel, in the end, there was the common room.
The seniors said that The Hufflepuff dormitories and common room have never been seen by outsiders and are the only house with repelling devices in case of intruders.
The common room is a large, earthy, round room with low ceilings. The view from the round windows is of dandelions and rippling grass.
The decor emphasizes the earthy-feel of the room with plants hanging and resting all about the room, some that even sing and dance. Burnished copper touchings with plush, cozy yellow and black patterned sofas and chairs.
A senior girl was sitting on the sofa her hair was constantly changing Jack guessed that she was Nymphadora Tonks. jack was fascinated seeing her she seemed to notice him looking at her.
"what you looking at"
"nothing.." that just came out of jack's mouth she introduced herself to her name and she was in the 5th year.
The perfect glanced at her and then said about the dormitories for boys and girls .the boys dormitories were towards the trunk like tree toward the left and girls towards the right. it was a large tree having upper floors for the seniors.
Jack along with Cedric arrived at the room they were sharing a room with 2 more people classmates they were Justin and ben. ben was a muggle-born whereas Justin was a half-blood after the introduction they went to bed.
there stuff like the trunk and all accessories was placed before them with their pets on their beds respectively.
Jack was waiting for the mysterious old man the hat spirit currently it was nearing midnight and all the members were asleep.
A ghost flew out it was the Hufflepuff ghost. jack was startled as they cannot come into the dormitories as they have been informed by the perfects.
"kid you awake," the ghost asked it was different from when he previously interacted with the Hufflepuff ghost the fat frier.
"are you the hat," jack asked as he knew the only person talked to him in that way and the hat asked him to stay awake.
"what hat I am called Mr. Dean"
"well mr.dean what you want to talk and how come you are in this ghost form"
"Well I am a soul artifact and I have this much power to use any ghost's for doing some purpose"
Mr.dean replied to jack, So that's why you were able to arrive at my main consciousness? jack asked him.
"well yeah but I was shocked to see a soul power user and a Winchester successor no less"
"They are the pinnacle of soul master heritage" he described the Winchester's they were a clan/family on soul masters, their art was at the pinnacle of the world about 2000 years ago.
" Are there any soul masters now". jack asked Mr .dean
"they were extinct about 1000+ years ago, so you can be considered to be a sole user of the soul according to my knowledge.
"the soul users were once at the pinnacle of the word even great wizards feared them the power of the soul it is mysteries and full of wonder".
"what happened and how do you know these things"
Jack asked Mr.dean and he replied.
A horrible calamity which was caused due to soul master's there was light-dark and grey like present the light soul masters appreciated the soul observed them as sacred power, whereas the dark uses soul power for necromancy, soul rituals all the stuff. full out war happened between these forces because of dark soul masters.
At that time Great wizards(magic) used this as a chance to completely wipe them as the soul masters did not consider normal wizards as true masters of magic like secondary people they were oppressed, like rebellion infighting all the soul masters and their descendants were wiped completely.
As soul power users are inherently less than magical people.like how they are many muggles and fewer wizards.
For me, I was a soul artifact of a powerful soul master his name was Hogwarts.
WHAT....Jack exclaimed loudly.
"Hogwarts was a person," Jack asked
"He was my master and the four house founders were his disciples Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.
He taught them all about magic be it light or dark as he was a grey soul master. but did not thought them soul magic as they did not qualify for soul learning so he did not leave any information about it.but they did have their aptitude in magic.
As for me, he wanted me to watch over them in shadows by not exposing my identity of soul artifact just as a magical artifact as he was at his deathbed. he also suffered through the injuries in war and was old.
So for the last 1000+ years, I am here in Hogwarts as an artifact for sorting ceremony.
Jack listened to all the information he was shocked about the history this information was not known in the harry potter books about the world and all it was like a new door opened to him full of mysteries. after that jack asked
"what do you mean there is still hope by seeing me".
"The worlds magic energy will deplete in less than 500 years after that there will be no wizards left the magic to keep on decreasing it will be a normal mortal world'
"What!!! why" jack asked.
"the evil soul masters at their peak wanted to create dimensional rifts connecting between worlds for the power they wanted to bend the rules of magic itself as they believed they can achieve immortality and become gods by transverse this plane or leave this plane"
"The information was soon seen through the light soul master's and the grey soul masters they both joined together to stop them as for the creation of the dimensional rifts they needed to build towers they need large sacrifice at least a full continent live form like millions of people sacrifice"
the evil soul masters were not successful but they completed around 10% of process before they were annihilated which created a soul/magic gateway which connected to the boundary of planes through which the magic power was siphoning through it around the boundary.
There are 7 siphoning towers all around the world example there is at the ministry of magic a VEIL as described. where Sirius black falls into it in Order of Phoenix.
before the soul masters of light and grey wanted to solve the problem as they knew what it did they were annihilated by Great wizards so the information was suppressed or ignored.and was seen as the last means of survival from them.
As my master was recuperating from injuries before the final battle he did not know about the siphoning towers but during his time at Britain he found one of tower and knew what he did he researched about it a found it needed a powerful soul master to reverse the process and maintain a stability .master did not have even even 1% of soul power on him after the battle he had used an forbidden skill to ignite all his soul power to kill his enemy.
Due to the change in the world / calamity there was less magic people born compared to before. and to find a soul magic person was finding needle in haystack as they were even rarer. during masters final time he did not came across any soul magic person like they were extinct.
So this is also a reason he left me behind to find a person of soul power if fate presents there will be a person with soul power that can save this magical world from deteriorating.
"Now you are here "
