Chapter 193: Quick ministry work

Nick didn't dare try to open any other book on the shelf until he read the entirety of the one addressed to him. Nick stepped away from the bookshelf and started to appraise the various things that he couldn't immediately identify. Most of it was merely rare things from the founders time such as extinct plants or magical creature parts. There was a couple of things that were listed as mythical but neither were on the level of the tree. One of them was a rare seed of conjunction fire that formed when all of the planets in a solar system lined up perfectly.-

Such a fire was born and died within literal seconds so getting a seed of it was a true treasure even if you had no use for it like Rowena Ravenclaw likely didn't. The woman was an enchanter not a craftsman so a fire seed was pretty much the height of useless for her so she likely stored it in the vault as the treasure it was. The second item though was the exact opposite in that it was useless to Nick but likely very useful to Rowena Ravenclaw thanks to it's properties.-

This item was a bloodstone that according to the system contained the blood of over a a thousand different magical beast. Bloodstones were unique magical rocks that had been naturally enchanted to absorb the properties of whatever blood touched it. The reason this was useful for Rowena and not Nick was that the stone could display the characteristics of the blood it had been exposed to to be copied into a wizards magic and later into a unique enchantment from that now nourished copy. The problem was that this only applied to human magicals and Nick was an elf now so the stone despite being very valuable was useless to him.-

Still Nick read through the article and could only chuckle at the sheer amount of credit Fudge had decided to take from those actually responsible. The whole article was basically boiled down to Fudge did everything important with everyone else getting honorable mentions. Dumbledore wasn't even included in the paper despite his involvement which was hilarious in Nick's opinion. Still there was a few snippets of important information in the article like Sirius's immediate release from Azkaban and the date of the trial for Peter. According to the article Sirius was now at St. Mungos getting treated for the effects of his decade long stay at the prison.
