Chapter 223: A bad start

"Is he alright?" Daphne asked seeing how Dusk kept looking at the bald spot where his tail feather had been sadly. Nick rubbed the birds chest comfortingly as he replied "He isn't in any danger or anything but he had lost a very important part of himself so until he gets it back by undergoing rebirth it is going to really bother him." Nick said honestly. "How long will that take?" Tracy asked also concerned. "Technically he could do so at any time however doing so before his body finishes reaching maturity is bad for him." Nick explained.-

"So how long until he reaches maturity then?" Harry asked. "About a month or so since it only takes a few months for an immortal bird to return to their prime after their rebirth." Nick said while distracting Dusk with some rabbit meat he got from Hagrid. The half giant had heard about what had happened and wanted to cheer dusk up a bit as the big man couldn't stand the thought of a magical beast suffering like that for no good reason. It was rather funny seeing this first meeting between Dusk and Hagrid as the bird clearly didn't know what to make of him.-

Sighing deeply Nick complained "This year isn't off to a great start at all." and his friends couldn't help but nod in agreement as this was a poor first day back at the castle. The rest of the day went by with little more fuss but it had already been ruined by the earlier events. Meanwhile latter that night Celebrimbor showed up in Nick's dream with a scolding look. "I am ashamed that you would even consider such horrendous thing. Vile though that Peeves's actions may be I doubt it deserves to be erased from existence." he said sternly.-

Nick wasn't the only one to receive mail however as Ron received a bright red envelope that made him have a dreadful look and many others who knew what it was also actively shied away from it. Nick had never seen a howler before and examined it with his magical senses and was stupefied at how stupidly complex the enchantment on the thing was for a scolding tool. There was no less than five different effects to the enchantment , written to speech , sound amplification , autonomous floatation and self destruction.
