Chapter 174: Hidden conversation

Nick received his food twenty minutes later and had spent the time waiting reading {A Veritological compendium}. The topic of the book was about the types of wood or cores usable in the craft as well as the personal findings of the author in regards to them. The author in this particular case was none other than Olivander himself and as such his personal findings were quite precious. Despite this however the information was short and digestible making it easy to memorize. Nick knew that this was likely done on purpose since this book was clearly a teaching aid.-

After paying the five sickles for the food and leaving with a promise to return the old man once again walked back through the doorframe at the back of the store. If Nick was here he would have been horrified by what he saw in the back of the store. There were three rooms here with one being a well maintained kitchen the other a storage room for ingredients and the final one being the one that would make his blood run cold. This room was a fairly cozy bedroom with a single man sitting in a chair seemingly waiting for something.-

This man was looked identical to the old man who had just walked in down to even the clothes. The reason Nick would have been horrified at this scene was that the old man who had walked into the room suddenly had his feature shift and change as he grew taller and much younger as well. Soon the old man turned into a lithe man with white hair and two different colored eyes , one Gellert Grindelwald with a small smile. The old man in the chair saw this and smiled himself "I take it the customer interested you , monsieur Grindelwald?" he said with a heavy French accent.-

He bought a few blank books specifically for this purpose since he had no plans of robbing the books from Olivander. Nick learned the properties of each type of wood along with their appearance , the best way to identify magical trees compared to non magical ones and even which woods are least favored by wandmakers and why. He stayed up until 9:00 p.m. reading and memorizing this information before he finally called it finished after rereading it no less than three times. The copy he made was stored away the same as the original and he went to sleep happy with his new knowledge.
