Chapter 526: Chat at dinner

After that everyone filed into the castle with the Hogwarts students taking their seats in the great hall in their normal house tables. Beauxbatons split their population between the Gryffindor , Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables while most of Durmstrag students sat at the Slytherin table. The reason it was most and not all like in canon was because Krum had chosen to sit near Nick at the Gryffindor table. Ron was more than happy to see this as Krum was a a very good seeker who even played for the Bulgarian team professionally.-

While Rons fandom for quidditch had fallen by a good deal after Nick introduced blitzball that didn't mean he didn't still enjoy it. "Is it true that you are almost as powerful as the great white wizard?" Krum asked Nick curiously. If it wasn't absolutely clear at this point Nick was the reason Krum had chosen to sit at the Gryffindor table rather than the Slytherin like the rest of his school mates. Judging from the approving look Karkaroff had when he entered the great hall it was obvious that he was perfectly content with this arrangement.-The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

The funny parts was that Krum tried to compete with Nick in his ravenous consumption but fell short ever so slightly. "Are you also an athlete?" the boy asked in amazement during the meal. "In a manner of speaking." Nick said with a shrug as he fed Nazgul a blood sausage. She was of course in her shrunk down dog sized state but her true size was slightly bigger than an adult Hungarian horntail dragon. "What an unusual creature , your familiar right?" Krum asked as he observed Nazgul that was begging like a puppy for scraps.-

An odd thing considering how insanely dangerous she was but she was pretty much the most mild mannered creature he had ever seen. "Don't let the cute face fool you this one here is more dangerous than any dragon alive and is actually shrunk down from her true size at the moment." Nick warned casually. He meant it too as Nazgul could more likely than not slaughter even the tier five dragon in the molten lake without any issue at all. Krum's expression was conflicted as he looked to be torn between petting her and avoiding her. -

"Behind her horns." Nick suggested and Krum looked confused "What?" he asked not understanding what he meant. "She likes to be scratched behind her horns , give it a go she won't hurt you." Nick encouraged and Krum nervously did so before smiling contentedly as Nazgul eagerly accepted the attention. "I swear that ones got more fans than you at this point." Hermione joked and Nick shrugged. "She's adorable and I am definitely not the friendliest of people." he said honestly.
