Chapter 201: Heading back

Nick was surprised to see that the ecosystem of the island had developed into a perfect balance of large and small creatures as well as herbivores and carnivores. The colo colo served as the most abundant small prey item on the island while the snawfus were clearly the most abundant large prey item. There was also just enough carnivorous species on the island to keep the rapidly increasing populations of these two creatures from getting out of hand. This didn't even consider the sea faring creatures that lived near the island due to the leyline node under it.-

That little detail certainly hadn't escaped Nick's notice when he arrived but just chose to ignore it since what self respecting wizard wouldn't want a leyline node to themselves along with all the abundant mana that comes with it. The mana levels weren't at the same level as Hogwarts that was not only on a leyline nexus but had slowly been absorbing the excess magical energy of it's students for the last thousand years but they were still far greater than in diagon alley. It was also this exact reason that these different species from all over the globe had adapted to the climate of the island without dying off.-

Thanks to the ample mana they were able to evolve faster than normal by using wild magic over time. Wild magic was unfortunately only available to magical creatures but wizards had learned how to imitate it's effects via druidic spells at one point in time but the process was lost at some point. Nick knew this because he had at one point searched for the stuff in the Hogwarts library but apparently the practice was passed from master to apprentice and was never written down so after history did it's thing all practitioners died off without successors taking all that knowledge with them.-

Before Nick could express his confusion at this the bird literally shimmered away into a small ball of golden light that fell to the earth before vanishing revealing a small bird with puffy black and red feathers and three peacock like crown feathers on it's head and tail. "So that's what the rebirth of a ho-ho looks like , not as violent as the other two immortal birds at all rather it's almost gentle." Olivander said fascinated while Nick picked up the small bird and comfortably settled it on his shoulder. After that Nick had Dotty apparate each of the leaving party back to the wand shop where Olivander immediately locked himself away in the workshop much to Nicks amusement.
