Chapter 380: Final days of the year

Nick basically isolated himself in the workshop for the next twenty eight days as he put his new power to good use. Dumbledore gave Nick a suspicious look at the end of this time when he turned in so many more rings than usual. In the end the old goat paid Nick for his work and chose to ignore his strange increase in ability. The old man wasn't stupid and easily figured out what had happened for Nick to have such a sharp growth in power. He himself had in fact used rituals when he was younger so he knew which Nick had likely used.-Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Two days before the students were kicked out of the school they were also freed to do whatever they wished as the exams were over. "I swear Snapes exam was the worst of the lot , pretty sure the greasy bloke was trying to make us fail!" Ron complained to Nick. At the moment Nick and his friends were sitting in the workshop relaxing and just hanging out. "The man does seem like that most of the time but I'm sure he wasn't doing it intentionally." Nick said honestly. -

"That's what I told him but he insisted , something about all work and no play. Dunno what he was going on about to be honest with you." Harry said with a shrug. "As much as I appreciate the offer I will have to decline , I might invite you all over to the island though. Merlin knows it could use some visitors to liven up the place." Nick said with a grin. "Still can't believe you have your own island." Ron said enviously. "And I'm surprised that more people don't , seriously ancient wizards seem to love the things for some reason yet very few modern wizards have one." Nick replied in frustration.-

It honestly made no sense to him that the frankly abundant islands around the country weren't taken by the old pureblood families or even muggleborn wizards researching stuff in secret. Nick was extremely happy to have his own island after all as the privacy simply couldn't be beaten unless he went into his realm. It wouldn't even be all that difficult to make the islands disappear using modern runestones and wards to obscure the land. "Asked my mom about that actually and she said that it was too costly to keep up if you weren't living there." Daphne added to the conversation.-

"I suppose that I could see that with the storms and frequent rain that an island would get. My ancestor solved that problem with her skill as an enchanter but for most it would probably be bloody hard to take care of." Nick said in agreement. He had a bad habit of forgetting just how good he had it in this regard and had not considered this problem till now. "Still I bet the island is an amazing place right?" Hermione asked curiously. "I suppose so , it's got it's own dangers though so don't wander off on your own if you value your safety." Nick said seriously.
