Chapter 38: Meeting new people

Chapter 38: Meeting new people

Nick met other first years at around this time that were also exploring the castle like , Terry Boot , both of the Patil twins Padma and Parvati who had somehow got put in separate houses and even Daphne Greengrass. The last of which tried ignore his existence as she passed him in the hallway , but Nick wouldn't be himself if he didn't try and get her attention. "Your hair looks nice. What soap do you use?" he asked while acting innocent. The cold brunette almost tripped from the shock that came from someone in Gryffindor talking to her who was in Slytherin.- Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place as she was both a pureblood heiress from one of the sacred twenty eight and a member of Slytherin house. The real problem came in the form of her own personal beliefs that said there was nothing wrong with talking to a muggleborn like Nick since blood superiority was nonsense. Her best friend was a halfblooded witch after all and was just as talented as most other purebloods she had met. "Horsetail , nettle and lavender oil." she mumbled awkwardly before rushing away in embarrassment.-

Nick grinned widely at the interaction taking it as a personal victory while also mentally taking note of the girls answer since she really did have some nice looking hair. Smooth and silky dark brown with a nice reflectiveness to it. An odd thing to notice perhaps but Nick was a ring smith which required an extreme level of attention to detail. The Patil twins were far more interested in the school itself than their surrounds so he left them be. Terry Boot however was an oddball who actually sought Nick out once he saw him excitedly.-

The reason Nick hadn't been using the frankly crazy sensitivity to magic he had in the form of active sensing had to do with the backlash he got for doing so after getting off the train. The sheer amount of ambient magic around him caused his nose to start to bleed when he went to scan his surroundings as he was used to doing at the orphanage. He could tell that it would take awhile for his senses to adapt to this sudden spike in magic and even this current use of them had his nose dripping red.
