Chapter 509: Coming clean

Snape nodded " He is correct but you are slightly mistaken in thinking majority of your professors have changed their race. In fact the exact opposite is true as only myself and professor Sprout have done so while the rest are the same as they were born." the man explained seriously. Nick would be lying if he said that he wasn't surprised by this information. While he can understand a few of the human professors such as Trelawney and Burbage refusing to change their race the others would likely benefit heavily from it.-

As for the professors that were already inhuman like Flitwick and Hagrid there was simply no reason why they would need to modify their race. Hagrid also simply couldn't do it to begin with since besides what he had self taught himself his spell work and knowledge on the magical arts was barely at the fourth or fifth year level. Nick couldn't see Hagrid changing his race anyways since he was perfect at handling magical beasts to begin with. "I am surprised you haven't asked what the differences between my new race and being human were." Nick said honestly.-

Nick chatted with Flitwick a bit more after that and even had Mcgonagall show up at some point and scold Nick for his reckless choice while also congratulating him as well in her stern but caring manner. Then came the much more problematic part of his racial reveal in the form of his friends. Flitwick knew that what came next was none of his business and left with the excuse that he had homework to grade. Nick couldn't blame him either as what came next was bound to be uncomfortable.-

"So what's up with that weird feeling you are giving off?" Tracy asked bluntly once all of his friends had gathered in the workshop. Nick waved his hand causing the door to shut without him moving from his seat. "How much do each of you understand about the path to power that wizards follow?" Nick asked seriously. "Isn't it just learning spells and potions and stuff?" Ron asked confused. Nick chuckled "While that is indeed a good part of it , I am afraid that it is not quite so simple. See there is in fact a grading system for how powerful a being is and by extension what they were capable of." -

"Tier one beings are the weakest mature magical beings , freshly graduated average graded Hogwarts students fall into this category. Tier two is where most wizards tend to stop at and as such is also fairly mediocre. Tier three is where the truly skilled and talented tend to sit a good example would be Mcgonagall , Snape and Flitwick are at this point. Tier four however is the dividing line between those talented but not fully focused like the professors and the most brilliant of wizards sit. Dumbledore and myself are both at this point which is why we need to restrain our magic or else our very presences would create a feeling of suppression to those weaker than us. As for beyond this tier of power I am not entirely sure." Nick explained seriously.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
