Chapter 219: Back
The weather cleared up pretty fast once mother nature took over and wiped away all signs of his tampering. The rest of the trip to Hogwarts was fairly uneventful as despite the girls naming off any magical ability they could think of Nick systematically crossed them off as things he didn't have. when the train arrived at Hogsmeade station Luna separated from the group and joined the rest of the first years in the boats. Hermione however quickly noticed that Harry and Ron weren't even on the train and was worried about them.- This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"I'm sure they will show up later in some spectacular fashion." Nick reassured her with a grin. She knew he was probably right considering the two people in question but still was worried. Nick meanwhile was already planning how to snatch the diary away from Ginny before she has the chance to let it corrupt her into opening the chamber. The problem wasn't Ginny in this case but the soul shard in the diary. As the first horcrux this soul shard was basically the same version of Voldemort that was mostly sane and incredibly versed in advanced magics.-
This also meant that if it figured out that Nick was hunting it the shard may flip the table to escape and do more than just petrify people with the giant magical serpent below the school. Obviously this was the worst case scenario but Nick still needed to take it into consideration. Most likely however he would simply stun the girl when she was alone and remove the diary from her without anyone being the wiser. The best part however was despite the diary's magical cloaking abilities Nick could still easily sense the evil magic that filled it like a torch in a dark room so he will know the best time to grab it.-
Nick had to stop more than a few people from trying to touch Dusk as despite the birds patience on Nick's behalf that was still a sure way to draw it's ire. Nick loudly explained this to everyone in the hall and the outstretched fingers were quickly hidden into fist away from the bird that would be more than happy to remove them. After that Nick got a lot of jealous glares as he ate and also fed Dusk that was nearly just as gluttonous as Nick himself. 'I do tend to attract gluttons it seems.' he thought with a chuckle.
