Chapter 298: Enraged

Nick returned to the dorm room after that while Dumbledore said he needed to prepare for the trip. Harry and Ron grilled Nick when he got back to the dorm about what he talked with Dumbledore about. Nick chose to trust them and told the truth about the matter and they got mad at him for keeping it from them. "It didn't have anything to do with either of you until now so there was no reason why i should have told any of you." Nick defended himself. "Besides what good would it have done huh!? None of you could help at all and would have just been in danger instead!" he added angrily.-

How could he not be mad when they didn't care about their own safety and even had the nerve to say he was wrong to keep it to himself. His words stung at his friends and they couldn't help but look hurt. They wanted nothing more to help him but he flat out told them that they would be nothing but a burden instead. It stung and made them feel like bad friends as Nick stormed out of the dorm as well as the common room. Half of Gryffindor heard them and woke up from the commotion.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

That was the state Nick was in at this moment and so his mind wasn't very clear when he decided that since the wall stood in his way it deserved to be destroyed. Nick had felt the pressure of Zeus and the recovery of the earth weighing down on him , Voldemort returning early was the last straw that broke the camels back and caused him to snap. The force from the spell didn't destroy the wall though as the rooms wards sprang up and blocked the attack entirely. He was stumped by this enough to regain his sanity and clarity of mind.-

"Feeling better?" Helena teased and Nick looked embarrassed since he must have looked like an angsty child to her. This wasn't to say that he was suddenly happy or anything , merely that he could at least rationally think about why he was upset now. "Is it so wrong that I kept all this stuff from them?" he asked slightly lost. Helena shook her head "It's not wrong at all but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt to get told that they were basically dead weight. In time I'm sure they will understand but for now you all will need time to settle." she said honestly. -

Nick sighed "You're probably right , but man if it isn't irritating." he complained. She let him leave the room after that and Nick spent the night in the workshop with Nazgul , Dusk and Steve all nearby or literally on top of him in Steve's case. The next morning he ate breakfast in his workshop before Dumbledore arrived to head out and retrieve the ring from it's hiding place. The man looked exhausted when he arrived outside the workshop but considering the pressure he was under it wasn't all that surprising.
