Chapter 149: Returning students
Still Nick's free time was drastically cut short due to the fact that the last day of December came around and the next day was the start of the next semester of classes. The students that left all returned by this point and settled in. Nick got smothered in a hug by Daphne and Tracy when they returned as they were so happy with the gifts they received. "Honestly it wasn't that big a deal as you make it out to be." he said while shaking off the two girls who had noticed his solid body under his robes with astonished expressions.- Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
The firm muscles hidden under his loose clothes meant that hugging him was like hugging a a rubber ball , not as soft as one would assume. "Putting aside my own christmas present you gave her a ring to protect her mind so she can actually live normally. Of course it's a big deal!" Tracy said not accepting Nick's words at all. Daphne nodded and smiled happily while rubbing the loop fondly. Nick simply shrugged and decided to leave it alone but Hermione actually found an issue with her gift. "Where did you get the book from? I have been all over the normal parts of the library and I have never seen a book with the same title." She questioned with narrowed eyes.-
Nick laughed the question off however "Where is the fun in telling you something like that? No need to worry it's not from the restricted section." he said with a grin. "Hmph!" she snorted angrily at his teasing but dropped the topic anyways. 'Likely planning to try and search the library again for the original. Good luck figuring it out since it's in a lost language entirely alongside the rest of the books in the "ancient" section.' he thought with a chuckle.-
He wisely stayed out of the argument over that topic as spilling Snape's personal background to defend him both served no purpose as no one would care and also it was not his place to do so. Rather than get dragged into it Nick instead teased Steve on his shoulder with a shiny golden galleon. See he came up with a game between the two of them where Nick would move the coin through the air at random and if Steve managed to catch it he could keep it , he hadn't yet though.
