Chapter 340: Waiting game

Lupin was quite shocked to hear this but Dumbledore was not since he understood that the depth of information Nick shared alone had plenty of workable points for fixing the magic. He knew the exact way the curse affected Lupin as well as the energy that fueled the magic. He even knew roughly how the curse was originally created and how to potentially strip it away from someone. With all of this information at his fingertips it would honestly be more surprising if he WASN'T close to being able to create a prototype enchantment.-

With all of that said though Dumbledore also recognized that this was also a play to get more information on animagi magic for his own gains. That was perfectly fine in his opinion as he had never intended for Nick to work without any self benefit in this matter. The boy for all of his genius was very profit driven and had only recently started to focus on helping others as well. "I'm sure Sirius would be more than happy to help if we asked him so long as we tell him what it's for." Lupin said eagerly volunteering his friend. -The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

For Dumbledore he simply got the man a dozen thick woolen socks just for the hell of it. Sirius on the other hand got a custom made bracelet that was enchanted to get rid of the lingering effects of his long term exposure to dementors as well as strengthen his body back to healthy levels. Even now months after he had been released the man was nowhere near recovered from the decade of malnutrition , spiritual rot and illness. This gift would let him quickly reach full strength and even return to active combat against the death eaters that will no doubt be a problem soon.-

'Finally done.' Nick thought after he finished the bracelet that was the last gift he needed to prepare. Checking the time he saw that it was only six thirty two and decided to go join the other students at dinner. His appearance in the great hall was met with a mix of jealousy and surprise as word had spread throughout the student body of his exemption from classes by this point. The less intelligent or short sighted of the students were jealous and thought it unfair.-

The others though had figured out that he had simply traded one for of study and work for another as he was much more tired looking and absent minded when he was seen now. His friends in Gryffindor were supportive of him and made no mention of his exemption as he had told them the terms of it and they knew he was truly working his hardest. Regardless of all else they saw him smelt no less than four hundred blank iron rings a day that he turned into rings of protection in varying amounts.
