Chapter 120: Plot and shields
Nick watched as the snitch flitted past Adrien Pucey causing the boy to lose the quaffle from the surprise and both Harry and the Slytherin seeker hurtle towards the flying golden golfball from their respective positions in the sky. Harry was a bit faster however and got a firm lead on chasing the snitch when Marcus flint slammed into him to cut him off earning a foul on Slytherin and giving Gryffindor a free shot. Once the game restarted Nick narrowed his eyes at Quirelmort as he saw Harry's broom start to act up.-
Hagrid who had joined them in the stands by this point also noticed this and mentioned how something was wrong. Hermione being the ever reliable person she was pointed out how Snape was staring at Harry from the adult stands and muttering something before wanting to rush off to do something only to be stopped by Nick. He raised his wand and pointed across the pitch at Quirrell before an invisible pulse flew from it straight at the possessed man. Immediately Quirelmort recoiled as an invisible legilimency attack struck him breaking both his concentration and spell freeing Harry's broom.- The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Nick quickly hid his wand before anyone noticed what happened and earned weird looks from both Ron and Hermione but he simply shook his head and focused back on the game. Quirelmort looked positively livid at the moment as his face had turned red and veins had popped out on his neck while he ground his teeth. He scanned the crowds to try and find whoever dares to attack his mind but all he saw was people focusing on the game leaving him frustrated and without a place to vent his anger. The man stormed off from the stands angrily but everyone was too busy watching the match to care.-
'Now for my defenses.' Nick thought seriously before a dense fog began to billow out from his mental self and reach the very edges of his mindscape before taking the form of many hexagonal lattices interwoven like a net around the whole thing. The trick to occlumency shields was that they were very much dependent on the owners perception of them. In this case Nick chose what he remembered as the strongest natural shape as the outside layer of his shields. Occlumency shields didn't need to be only single layer but rather could be as complicated or simple as the user liked.
