Chapter 221: The outcome
After a few awkward minutes the two boys vented their grievances to Nick and now it was his turn to be uncomfortably as they talked about how he hadn't even tried to get them to help as well as how he was practically a different person then when they met him after getting his heritage revealed. An entire years worth of problems were spat out into the open in a short period of time and even Neville who had no part in this matter couldn't help but get introspective much less Nick who was the source of the problems.-
"There was all lot going on with me last year , political nonsense , puberty in a sense , bloody hell did you know I have had no less than twenty marriage proposals? Add on to all of that the fact no one had even notice Pettigrew under their noses for an entire decade and I was rather stressed to say the least." Nick said frustrated at being called out so thoroughly. Sure most of what had been said was small things like how he was always so busy or distracted even when he hung out with them but it was still hard to hear.-
Instead conjunction flames made the metal forged with them more attuned to spatial energies and enchantments. Needless to say Nick was very much planning to abuse this trait to the greatest extent possible. At the moment however he was readjusting his workshop using his new knowledge of traditional enchanting to set up a sort of metallic frame around the room that he had quickly forged with the conjunction fire so that he could expand the space inside the workshop greatly. The reason this frame was necessary for this was because Hogwarts castle itself was extremely resistant to foreign enchantments and tended to shake them off quickly when they would otherwise last years.-
As a result Nick was cheating and actually only going to be expanding the space inside the metal frame rather than the actual room itself. Professor Flitwick had offered to help set it up since he found the idea to be a clever workaround. Nick wasn't familiar with space expansion charms so that was where the good professor came in to make the place nearly quadruple it's original size. This let Nick now have enough room to set up a wood working station and material stockpile without it being effected by the metal side.-
Nick was also willing to admit that he may have grown a tad used to a certain quality to his wood working equipment while at Olivander's and refused to go back to whittling wooden rings so crudely. He still needed to purchase the equipment and wait for it to be ready before sending Dotty to bring it to Hogwarts but the room was at least ready for it now. Unlike normally though Nick wasn't in the workshop alone as most of his friends and also Luna were all there being a pain in the ass messing with his stuff.
