Chapter 350: Waiting

Ideally Nick wanted a part from a north american horned water serpent but not only were they highly illegal to hunt but were the house animal of one of the Ilvermorny houses. Considering that that was the only magical school in north America being even remotely related to the hunting of the things was a fast way to get on the whole populations bad side. It also didn't help that the huge serpents also had powerful divination abilities that made it impossible to hunt them unless they allow it. At that point though it becomes a matter of hoping that whatever they saw in the future was solved by their sacrifice or you were in for a rough time.-

That reminded Nick for whatever reason of the magical family that existed over in the united states that was the descendants of Slytherin , the Sayre. It was rather funny in a way that the only remaining members of Slytherins bloodline in the world had entirely abandoned the mans institution and country. In fact unlike the Gaunts the Sayre were very noble as they truly sought the betterment of wizards both muggleborn and pureblood alike.-

It should be understood that the complexity and power of the magics taught in the later years grew with each year. Nick as a result thought that the wizarding society was really pathetic as they accepted a mere surface level understanding in order to pass with a good grade. As a result of this once the students left that information behind they tended to forget it entirely which means they were all usually failures when they graduated. Thankfully there was enough people graduating that truly understood the information to keep the society afloat but it was without any doubt slowly and painfully decaying from all the rest dragging those few down with them.-

In a manner of speaking the upcoming turmoil of Grindelwalds recovery of the world might just be the kick in the backside that wizarding kind needed to truly prosper. Many will die undoubtedly in the process but the final result would be pretty worth it all things considered. Nick was fairly certain that this was actually the reason none of the really powerful people are doing much to stop the man save just going through the motions or hiding away.-

Anyways Nick was currently up to the middle of the fifth year in terms of understanding the magic in the textbooks. This was actually quite good considering everything he has been busy with since getting his exemption. Thanks to that exemption he actually had much more time to cover the textbooks so even while splitting his time with other things he has made good progress. He spent the next few days making rings of protection and pushing his skill ever forward while he waited for his house elf to return to him.
