Chapter 335: Return to Hogwarts
The prize for winning wasn't anything all that special for Nick as it was merely a few hundred galleons and a spot in the global news papers. The later of which interested him the most as it fixed the issue he may have with taking Nazgul traveling. Dusk actually wasn't even in the top five since his temperament caused his final score to drop a lot. He was a very angry bird and it showed in the way he acted at all times. Nick was pretty sure that Dumbledore had a hand in the sharpness of the hit his points took though.-
Dusk didn't actually care about the matter and only participated since it helped Nick ingratiate himself with the headmistress. "A well earned success monsieur Ravenclaw , the little one is simply such a treat to have around that it pains me to see her leave. Alas she is your familiar and thus nothing I can say would tempt you to give her over to me." Madam Maxime says in French on the way back to the floo building to see Nick and Dumbledore off. "I imagine you'll have the opportunity to see her at a later date." Nick said with a grin.-
Heading to the workshop Nick was greeted to a strange sight along the way. Fred and George were walking around disguised as snowmen to prank anyone they could with it. Nick looked over the illusion spell they had used for this and nodding happily at what he found. It was clear to him that the twins had taken his disdain for the illusion they used at the time personally and improved their illusion magic skills. Say what you want about the twins but they weren't stupid by any means and were actually very talented wizards that simply didn't like doing boring activities.-
To be fair no one usually did but most people sucked it up rather than ignore the punishments and do the bare minimum while focusing their energy on something else like the twins. The teaching staff have made their disappointment in the twins wasting of talent very clear. Nick didn't think they were wasting their talent at all but rather focusing it on what they enjoyed instead , which was jokes. "CALIDUM PEDES!" Nick said and watched as the twins started jumping around like they were standing barefoot on a hot surface.-
The hot feet charm was actually harmless but it made the victim think they were burning their soles so long as they had their feet on the ground. "Hahahahaha!" Nick burst into laughter at the sight as it was ironic to see a pair of snowmen with burning feet. The twins also laughed since they knew they had bee had good. Nick removed the charm on them with a smirk "It looks like a little heat wasn't enough to melt these snowmen , maybe I should use some fire this time?" he pondered out loud before puffing out a small amount of azure flame from his nose with a wide grin.
