Chapter 425: Start of a new year

It was a reasonable question to be sure as knowing the future roughly was had allowed Nick to make such great progress in various important matters such as dealing with Voldemorts horcruxes. But with the events of the books being pretty much invalidated entirely at this point he had no clue what was coming and it made him a bit nervous. Not much since he was pretty well prepared for just about any "normal" wizarding issue but a little none the less. 'I guess I'll do like normal and deal with the problems as they come.' he decided eventually.-

Nick finally got the first shipment of alchemically treated mirrors from Leo Le Blanc and sent over a jar filled with fire salts to the man as payment. This shipment was only consistent of a dozen mirror that looked fairly normal as they had silver handles and backs that were smooth and plain while the glass was hard and clean. Nick was quite happy with them all things considered and went to enchanting them in the way he wanted. He had already used Jesseph to inform Vlad of the delay on the mirrors so there was no problem on that end.-

Nick was forced to contain the omni crystal in a special container that kept it suspended in a vacuum isolated from literally everything. Despite this though Nick was VERY exited about the crystal as he imagined that it could serve in some rather insane alchemical creations. Like the philosophers stone level insanity. After that brief accident he stopped keeping the salts near each other and got very careful when handling them. Three days later and it was finally time to head back to Hogwarts so Nick had dotty transport him to the castle.-

"Good afternoon Hagrid!" Nick greeted the grounds keeper after he arrived long before any other student. "Blimey Nick what are you doing here so early?" Hagrid asked surprised to see him. "I used my house elf to apparate to the castle figured I'd come say hello while I wait for the rest to get here." Nick said honestly. Hagrid nodded "Dead useful them elves are , can't imagine what we'd do without them." he said honestly and Nick agreed with him. "So what have ya been up to over the summer Nick?" Hagrid asked curiously.-

'Made friends with the royal vampire clan , discovered a secret organization that isn't my biggest fan and made several breakthroughs in my studies.' Nick thought to himself while what he actually said was "More of the same I'm afraid , work , study and even more work after that. Been real busy you see." Nick spoke honestly and shrugged helplessly. "Aye , life'll do that to ya sometimes but it always works itself out in the end , just you wait." Hagrid said assuringly. "I'll keep that in mind , but I'll see you later since for now I'd like to have a chat with Dumbledore over something I learned during the summer." Nick said before leaving.
