Chapter 161: Aftermath
Nick slept like a log for the entire night and most of the morning only waking up at around lunch time. 'Ugh , need to remind myself not to have any plans after absorbing the other horcrux's. I feel like I weigh an extra hundred pounds.' he complained immediately. Thanks to having had time to "digest" his gains a little he no longer had veins popping out or red skin but he felt uncomfortably heavy and bloated still. Sluggishly Nick got up from the bed and went into the dorm bathroom for a shower as he had slept in his clothes over night and he was covered in dried sweat.- The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
The hot water rolling over his body did wonders for the aches in it while washing away the filth on him. After his shower he used a quick spell to clean his clothes and then got dressed before leaving the dorm. It came as no surprise to Nick that the news of Harry , Ron and Hermione braving the forbidden corridor and get almost entirely hospitalized for it filled the castle. Hermione was uninjured but both of the boys had various injuries on them such as cut's and bruises and even broken bones in the case of Ron.-
Mcgonagall may have made the giant chess set nonlethal for the children of the school but she didn't nerf it enough not to break bones. Ron had already been patched up and kicked out of the hospital wing by Madam Pomfrey but Harry had a wounded mind from Voldemort's last desperate attack on him in phantom form and was thus still unconscious. He would be fine though according to the less than patient medical professional. Nick was relieved at this outcome as he was truthfully worried that his presence would mess up this event.-
"I will approach you within the week with a list of applicants for the position of your teacher. If that is all please see yourself out and do take care to keep out of trouble would you?" she said almost pleading at the end. Nick merely grinned and walked out of the office closing the door behind him and made his way to the workshop nearby. Once there he transfigured himself a comfy chair and pulled a book on veritology from Greed to relax with the door open so any visitors could enter if they wished.
