Chapter 212: Summers end

Luna was quite clever however and quickly seemed to realize this as she purposefully went to grab a wand that was on the counter behind her after sneakily moving to stand in front of it only to be stopped. Her ability only worked if she had an unobstructed view of the magical energy and if someone stood in front of the source of the energy she was after they covered it up stopping her and this rule clearly did not apply to Nick. While she may seem ditsy and crazy most of the time her mind was incredibly sharp.-

Both Olivander and Xeno watched this interaction quietly as it was fairly clear to them what was going on. Eventually though Nick tricked Luna into grabbing the wand that had been trying to get her attention this entire time finishing the match much to the girls clear irritation. If it had to be described what sort of face she made then it was like a child that had a fascinating toy taken from them. "You can settle the bill with Mr. Olivander and get on your way to the rest of your shopping." Nick said with a chuckle.-

"I'll win next time." Luna swore with a determined expression. "You are free to try as I am not a very hard to find person normally." Nick said alluding to the fact he is normally in his workshop when not in class. Luna then proceeded to angrily drag her father out of the shop after paying for the wand. "Full of secrets aren't you?" Olivander says with a wide smile. Nick shrugged but didn't say anything since he simply didn't need to. At this point even a blind man could see that Nick was very much a different sort of wizard.-

Things slowed down business wise in the second week of the month so Nick was back to practicing his wand crafting from scratch under Olivander's stern watch. Another town being sacrificed came and went with any real fuss and Nick was improving by leaps and bounds in the art of wand crafting now that he had gotten out of the rough novice stage of it. The only gripe he had was that he wasn't allowed to experiment with the runes he carved into the core of the wand to try an improve the power of his creations as summer break slowly drew to a close.
