Chapter 86: Rough time

"What about the ambient magic you mentioned?" Nick asked after digesting the information he just received. "That's the nifty part , see the "system" hadn't been able to calculate that factor into your transformations timeline since it couldn't have information you yourself lacked. It's not actually some cosmically powerful thing but rather a mere tool and it's abilities require your input to do anything. In a way you could say it's actually powerless without you. Until you came to Hogwarts it was totally blind to the extremely potent magic that would soon be in your surroundings." the elf said and Nick understood what was implied.-

"So the timeline is actually shorter on my transformation?" he asked seeking verification. "Drastically so , it dropped from three years to one and a few days." the elf said "Good news however is that this whole emotional turmoil should clear up in three days so try and keep yourself under control till then." he added with a reassuring smile as the dream ended and Nick woke up. Nick washed up and reapplied the glamor charm to his face to keep the others from getting too suspicious of him 'I can do three days' he thought firmly.-

Nick underestimated exactly how difficult it was going to be however as Flitwick noticed the glamor immediately. "Is something wrong Mr. Iron?" he asked concerned. "It's nothing to worry about professor I'll be fine in a few days." Nick while controlling his voice with much difficulty. "Very well but if you need help please do seek it." Flitwick said obviously not believing him. The professor left Nick alone after that but sent a few glances at him every now and then with a concerned expression. Nick avoided his friends after the class was over and found a place to remain hidden from others as his emotions shifted constantly.-

"So long as you're fine now it's all roses." Ron said happy it wasn't something to do with them. "Yep , fit as a fiddle and twice as handsome." Nick said with a grin. Harry chuckled "yep you are back to normal." he said with a smile. They got dressed and headed to breakfast after that since Nick was slightly tired of living of the nearly tasteless lembas bread. The professors seemed pleased to see him back to normal minus a single one that looked disappointed.
