Chapter 72: A swim and a heart attack

Nick turned in after restocking his store of sweets hopeful about finally getting back in the habit of making rings almost everyday. Unfortunately he failed to consider that not everyone wakes up at dawn on their free days and immediately gets productive. It was only when he sat in the common room for an entire time waiting that this dawned on him. 'I guess there is no reason to get ahead of myself here , they'll bring it to me when you can.' Nick thought before heading to breakfast. It was as usual a simple meal with large amounts of nutrients to support his growth.-

Once he was done he headed out of the castle alone towards the black lake for a bit of exercise in the form of swimming. It was no secret that the waters of Scottish waters like the lake never get truly warm but that was what made them so good for exercising in. The exertion on the muscles plus the cold promoted blood circulation in the body making exercise more fruitful. Nick didn't need a set of swimming shorts since he could merely transfigure his robe into a wetsuit.-

As a bonus the wetsuit also made sure that he never got too cold while in the water by helping to trap his body heat inside him. It would be an understatement to say that he drew quite a bit of attention in the next two hours swimming and diving in the lake. The best part in his opinion was when he found the underwater viewing window that was in the Slytherin common room and got stared at in stupefaction by the people just hanging out there. Even funnier was that amongst those people were Daphne and Tracy who didn't really plan to go anywhere today.-

Once dried he removed the transfiguration on his robes returning them to normal much to the two girls jealousy. "Ugh! Just rub in how much better than us you are why don't you!" Tracy said with a huff. "As it just so happens i do indeed have a spell for that." Nick joked making the girl grit her teeth angrily. "If you are quite done with your childish drivel I would like a word with Mr. Iron." a nasally voice spoke up from nearby. All three of the students stiffened and looked over to see one Severus Snape standing there with a not so pleased look on his face , so the usual.
