Chapter 181: To catch a rat

Nick was taken back to the wand shop after the details were settled on the plan and Moody left to prepare for his part as well as to inform Dumbledore. Nick had a week to finish his own preparations as Moody made it clear that they needed to get this done as soon as possible to prevent any unknown variables. This meant that Nick needed to be done and ready to go by next saturday which was fine in his opinion as he merely needed to do a couple extra things that he could finish early tomorrow.-

Meanwhile while Nick was back at the wand shop finishing up his day Moody had already contacted Dumbledore for a meeting and was in the mans office at this moment. Dumbledore had a serious expression after listening to Moody explaining the situation. "So despite my high opinion of the boy I have still fallen short it seems." he said with a tired sigh as he slouched in his chair. "To think such a young man would piece together such scattered fragments to this decade old puzzle and break it wide open is astounding." he added ashamed of not having pieced the puzzle together himself out of willful ignorance of the subject.-

Dumbledore knew well that he could have easily figured out the same things as Nick had he not totally decided in his mind that the matter was at it's end already and thus hadn't cared enough to see the problems. It was a downside of his advanced age as he could sometimes see far ahead and other times not even the next days events. He was not demented as such a thing was nearly impossible in wizards but his mind simply wasn't capable of the same constant focus as when he was younger.-

The rest of the day he spent practicing drawing the runes with an engraving pen he bought from the system for a hundred points. He also used a transfigured bar of iron in the shape of a plate as his canvas and reverted it back to normal and then back again into a plate when he needed more space to write. He found that drawing runes was a time consuming process for him as they were quite complex in design and if he got the depth wrong it ruined them entirely.
