Chapter 100: Wrath and reveal
The very air in the great hall suddenly seemed to become stagnant and the Gryffindor table groaned and cracked as an invisible pressure fell upon it. Nick lips were pulled back in a vicious snarl of pure unadulterated rage as the hand hold his pewter cup crushed it without any regards to the shards of metal that stabbed his hand. Sparks of electricity and fire popped off from Nicks holstered wand as it vented the rampaging magical energy he was releasing. Everyone within twenty feet of him suddenly paled and shivered in fear as the feeling of a dragon waking up in a foul mood came over them.-
No one noticed it immediately but the enchanted ceiling of the great hall started to shift from a normal partially cloudy day to dark and brooding. Nick reached for his wand with a positively murderous expression and a spell rang out in the silent hall as Snape reacted instantly "STUPEFY!". The spell struck Nick and he passed out under it's effects and the whole great hall sucked in a breath as if they had all forgotten to do so. 'It would seem I underestimated how severe his reaction would be' Dumbledore thought with a concerned look.-
Ron reached across the table and grabbed the letter that had been dropped by Nick while everyone watched and waited to understand what had just happened. He slowly read what was written growing flushed from his own anger as he did so and in the pin drop silence of the great hall everyone heard him. Only those not aware of what the inheritance test at Gringotts involved had confused looks on their faces while the others all had one of three expressions , outrage , disbelief and wariness.-
No one could get the events of breakfast out of their heads as even those who weren't aware of the big deal it was were informed by their housemates. A certain ghost in the castle however was euphoric at the news and rushed towards the infirmary anxiously. Snape was an exceptional combatant and noticed the look and body language that the boy had after reading that letter. The magical chaos only further solidified in the man's mind that his fully powered knockout spell was for the best but after learning the truth of the matter , he regretted stopping the boy from attacking Dumbledore.
