Chapter 111: Arorium the sand of time
It was really a big number.
The people that are currently fighting are actually someone from American wizarding world circle and the Russian wizarding world circle.
The reason why they are competing is because they have recognized the sand of time as a known wizarding material.
That is right the sand of time is called the Arorium.
It was a material that forms in minute traces when the aurora lights happen at the poles of the earth.
The total amount that can be produced for an entire year is around half an ounce which should be around 14 grams on an average.
The biggest problem is actually this 14 grams scattering throughout the icy planes.
Collecting them needs a special process and the process is costly.
Collecting 1 gram of Arorium would cost more than 20 thousand gold galleons.
But because of the rareness and other thing the cost can go up all the way to 50 thousand gold galleons.
At the same time 1 gram of Arorium that was used with the dagger of sand of time can give 1 year of life span.
This means to increase the life span of a person by a year, they have to spend around 50 thousand gold galleons.
The main requirement is that they should have this dagger to use the sand of time.
The runes on the dagger are a special alchemical formula and the materials of the dagger are very strange.
These things let the dagger use the essence energy of Arorium to give the life span to the user of the sword.
Even though Jonathan became interested about this, he quickly lost the interest.
Not many people know about Arorium.
To the people that know about Arorium, they think that it was highly unstable and volatile.
But reality is that there is a way to stabilize this material by storing it in a container made of the dragon core with special process.
Even Jonathan got to know about this material because of the knowledge he got from the inheritance of Gellert Grindelwald and the materials from Nicolas Flamel.
When Dumbledore asked Jonathan if he recognized the materials, Jonathan quickly explained what he knows.
Dumbledore nodded his head and asked.
"Jonathan, do you want that dagger."
Jonathan looked at the dagger for a moment and did not have any greed towards it.
Currently it is useless to him.
But he is interested in researching the dagger for other purposes.
So he looked back at Dumbledore and said.
"I want to research it and understand its mysteries of age reversal.
Unfortunately it is out of my league right now,
Anyway I can get that when the time is right."
Dumbledore nodded his head and sighed.
He thought that Jonathan would want this dagger to use in the future to live forever.
Or to resurrect some dead people stupidly.
Well Jonathan is not stupid.
Finally when both the countries are fighting the Rothschild family of Europe took the chance to strike the deal with 300 thousand gold galleons.
He got the dagger with a smile.
Dumbledore noticed this person and said.
"This Rothschild family is completely different from any noble family.
They show their nationality as European but they would not show which country they belongs to.
They have the businesses in every country in both the wizarding world and the muggle world.
They are the largest hidden power of Europe that would not go for nationalism.
Also the people from the Rothschild family would not join any magic school and learn at home with private tutoring…."
Dumbledore gave a rundown on the Rothschild family with a different look.
From his words Jonathan can understand that this family is strong and did not show arrogance or indifference.
Jonathan listened carefully and kept the thoughts in his mind.
In his hunt to find the magic origin he might have to pass through this kind of low key ancient families.
After confirming the purchases from the auction, they returned back to Hogwarts.
There they first started the extraction process.
Hogwarts has a refining room for artifacts.
Originally there is a branch for teaching artifact refining just like potions making.
But the number of people that chose the artifact refining process is less and less every year.
Well it is a dangerous process where they would deal with the molten metal and other poisonous things.
So this branch was removed from the available classes.
But Dumbledore still knows the process and can do things.
As for Jonathan, he only got the memory of the information and experience.
But did not do this kind of thing like curse breaking and extraction of materials.
So he followed Dumbledore and learnt for the following days every day.
During this time the third years are also visiting Hogsmeade on Halloween, and only Harry is not allowed, because his uncle did not sign his permission form.
Jonathan went around with his girls to all the places.
Where ever he goes there is a good group of women surrounding him.
He took them to honey dukes and bought them 100 gold galleons worth sweets and candy that they liked.
Then they went around the place exploring the Hogsmeade all the way from inside out for the fun.
Later many women left and only a few remained by the side of Jonathan.
They are pansy, Daphne and Romilda.
They went to the three broomsticks inn and had some iced soda and some normal drinks for them along with some refreshments.
As they ate the things they discussed.
Jonathan made some special props with the good metals he extracted and gave them to wear as bracelets.
The bracelet has a small plate that has limited times use shielding spell.
For the gifts Jonathan got a good amount of kisses from them.
Slowly a month passed by and that day is 31st of October.
Jonathan knows that today, Sirius black would come to Hogwarts to search for peter Pettigrew.
This would be a big sensation tomorrow.
