Chapter 367: Making a deal

Chapter 367: Making a deal

Nick had no reason to keep Lucas's employ hidden from any of the professors as he knew none of them would spread the information around. If anything after learning that Lucas became a vampire they would thank him like Flitwick did. Sad as it may be they simply didn't have the resources needed to make sure every student that passes through their classrooms have a good life. Still this didn't mean that they didn't hope for the best and occasionally lend some aid if they could. With the ring finished Nick left for Ravenclaw island without disguising himself this time.-This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Considering it was daytime still Nick wasn't surprised to find that Lucas was still in the manor hidden away in his assigned room. "I have some good news for you." Nick said as he walked into the room. It was rather funny to see the confusion on the mans face for Nick but he figured he should probably explain what is going on. "You work for me now , what you saw previously was merely a disguise that I created for my trip to Knockturn alley. My full name is Nicholas Iron Ravenclaw." he said with a small bow.-

"Once you swear an oath to me I will not only give you this ring but I will also teach you my own personal crafting techniques , spells and even possibly help you increase your own power at an amazing rate." Nick said with a tempting smile like he was a demon bargaining for a soul. The similarity was also not lost on Lucas as a muggleborn but he had to admit that he was very very tempted. "What are the details of this oath exactly?" Lucas asked while suppressing his instincts that were muddling his mind.-

"The terms are very simple. First you are not allowed to share what you learn , hear or see while you work for me knowingly or otherwise. Second you are not allowed to ignore any order I give you knowingly so long as it is within reason. Finally you are to truly try your best to learn what I teach you. That's it , simple and clean as promised." Nick explained calmly. Lucas thought about the terms seriously and he couldn't see any nasty surprises hidden in them , not for lack of trying mind you.-

"Alright I can accept those terms but to be clear I doubt I will have much talent in regards to crafting." Lucas said honestly. "I didn't decide to take you under me as a servant and assistant because of your talent but your personality in the face of your terrible situation. When many would have fallen into dark magics and attacking others to survive you chose the harsher but more pure path of thievery instead. I can't say you didn't have better options but I know for a fact that they were pretty bad as well." Nick explained honestly.
