Newt bombarded Nick with various strange questions for the next thirty minutes until it was finally time for breakfast at which point he reluctantly left. While Nick didn't mind sharing what he knew of Nazgul with the man he had trouble keeping up with some of the questions. For example Newt asked how many feathers she had as if it was a totally normal thing to sit down and count them. Sure Nick understood that the man was being thorough but this was plain weird. Breakfast went much like the ...

I barely had time to stuff a stick between my teeth before the pain rocked my mind. It was worse than anything I had ever felt before. My body was quite literally breaking apart at a cellular level and it was horrible. I can not begin to describe to you what having each and every cell in your body including your nerves burst before reforming over and over again. All I remember is pain and blackness before it ended much later. A pitiful description I know but that was all I knew at this time.-...

Nick got gawked at while he ate again but he ignored that in favor of indulging his hunger. After that he turned in for the night content with his gains while he was here. He woke up nice and early the next day and tidied up the room he was in since he wouldn't be returning to it at the end of the day. He walked through the halls of Beauxbatons while admiring the details of the castle. Hogwarts was grand and all but in terms of details it was fairly lacking since the focus was mostly on pragm...

Alchemy was far more abundant in terms of books thanks to Nicolas Flammels favoritism but was a confusing subject to say the least. There was actually a few schools of thought involved in the subject that all alchemy fell under. The first was transmutation or the changing of one thing into an other permanently. This was accomplished in a few different ways but the final result always requires the alchemist to exchange something of equal worth for the change. Usually this is in the form of man...

Jewelry conduit weapons on the other hand were almost always used to defend the wearer while providing a buff to their abilities depending on where they were worn. Rings and bracelets increased the strength of ones grip while boosting the nimbleness of the fingers as well. Anklets boosted ones ability to run while also drastically increasing the power of each kick. Nose rings increased ones sense of smell and sight passively. Earrings and tongue piercings did the same for the two senses invol...

"Now that's a face I haven't seen in many years." Dumbledore said with nostalgia as he walked up. "I can only think of a single person who may take on that visage whilst in my presence , it is good to see you Nico." he spoke warmly. "Albus I was just helping this child understand a flaw in his understanding of runes , it is quite impressive what he has achieved without proper guidance in this matter you know." Flammel said with a wide smile. Dumbledore chuckled "Always the teacher eh old frie...

Nick was also fairly bored since all he had to do for the pageant was sit in place while the two beasts soaked up the attention. With that in mind he had broke out his quill and a blank book that he started to write down his take on all the magical items he memorized yesterday. He of course labeled each individual item neatly but the book quickly started to get covered in runes on both the front and backs of the pages. He frowned a bit after he finished the book since he still had quite a few...

It was a damn good thing they didn't either as the lowest level any of them had was fifteen and the highest that I saw was a level seventy eight Pelipper. Obviously I was NOT going to do anything to turn the pokemon hostile if I could avoid it. What a fucking joke , that one pokemon could likely kill all of us without much trouble at all. Instead my team and I skirted around the wild pokemon groups until we were out of range. At that point I got to see my first real look at the sea that crash...

Dumbledore and Nick were given a couple of rooms that the school reserved for important guests after that while Nick was given access to the library after he asked. This first day was merely apportioned for guests to arrive while the contest field was set up. As a result Nick vanished into the library eagerly for the entire day while Dumbledore spent the day chatting with Newt Scamander who had shown up. The magizoologist was beyond excited to examine both Dusk and Nazgul while he was there s...

This time the allure was much weaker than in the ministry which made sense considering unlike then it is coming from a single person. Nick scowled as he turned to look at the source of the allure in the form of a blonde girl that was staring at him in confusion and anger. "Remove your magic." he commanded having had enough of dealing with this allure. The girl stumbled as she instinctively did as he commanded suffering from the backlash of it. Veelas were able to suppress their allure to a de...

We both watched on from the distance as Sly got absolutely manhandled by Vulcan despite it holding back massively. The biggest problem Sly faced wasn't the rain but rather the mud that made it very hard to find traction. Vulcan had learned that lesson well and had specifically trained to overcome this issue by timing it's movements so as to stop when it wanted to. Sly made the mistake of charging full bore at Vulcan only for Vulcan to sidestep and casually back handed him as he passed by. Cas...

This room was clearly a reception area though as there was no chairs or other furniture anywhere in it. There was a pair of double doors made of white oak that remained open and had two people waiting next to them. An extremely tall woman in a flowing black dress that had a collar of white fur. She had short well maintained brown hair and dark eyes while her face bore a sort of warm soft curvature to it that hid her age well. Nick knew who this woman was even without introduction that to his ...

The older man looked surprised at the answer for a moment before accepting it easily as it not only explained what was happening but was entirely possible with the vast potential of magic. "I do apologize for his rude manner of speaking Mr. Delacour , you simply caught him while he was scoping out his competition." Dumbledore said with a chuckle. "Is he competing in the pageant?" the older man asked surprised since he had assumed it was Dumbledore that was participating. "Indeed he is. I dare...

"So it is. If I'd have known you were fueling a body like that I'd have given you more meat!" the bar keeper said with a laugh. "You two here for the pageant I take it?" the man asked while polishing a mug with a cloth. "How'd you guess?" Nick asked in surprise since as far as he knew neither of them had mentioned it before now.

"Now to find a place to stay for the night , if memory serves there should be a place not far from here." Dumbledore said casually before starting to walk in a certain direction. Nick could only helplessly follow behind as he was in a totally different country of which he legitimately knows little about really. If he was dealing with wizards he would be fine since he was fairly wealthy and spoke fluent French but with muggles he knew absolutely nothing about their culture or customs and wizar...

The French ministry was very different than the british one in both design and feel as the british ministry was cold stone and metal that had a serious and unfriendly atmosphere to it. The French ministry on the other hand had rich wooden offices built in a vertical manner that circled around the inside of the building with the exception of four large hallways in each directions. The stone was a warm golden marble while the statues were polished bronze that all in total made the place way mor...

Dumbledore watched the scene of Lupin transforming with a sad expression but didn't allow his mind to fall into the trap of melancholy. Freshly transformed werewolves seemed harmless at first but the moment they noticed you it was an instant shift in temperament to a savage and violent one. Nick was also very much aware of this so when the transformation ended he wasted no time at all tapping his wand against the floor. The werewolf Lupin was startled as thick metal chains and shackles shot o...

Obviously I didn't use all of my food the previous day to make that soup so I still had several days worth of food left in my bag. 'Silph co really knew what they were doing with these bags , they even have refrigerated pockets inside it.' I thought while pulling out a few vegetables and some packaged Tauros steaks. I diced it all up and put it in the wok along with some rendered Zigzagoon fat and some salt and pepper. It was basically just a nice and simple stir fried dish that I kept moving...

'If my judgment isn't wrong then my forging rate has increased by nearly four times. This should put me at about two hundred and forty rings a day if I focus on it exclusively meaning I'd now only need about three years to complete this missions main objective.' he worked it all out as he left the room that was scrubbed clean of his ritual. The next few days passed by quickly as he constantly churned out rings of protection that he turned over to Dumbledore for the price he sold them for last...

Nick had long since acquired the lungs of a dragon for this ritual and had thus had literally no reason at all to hold off on it any more now that he had the time to undergo the ritual. He had specifically chosen the lungs of a Swedish short snout for this ritual because it was one of the only dragons to have an unusually attributed flame. Unlike normal flames from a dragon this species had blue flames that were powerful enough to turn wood and bone to ash in a couple seconds.-

May didn't hesitate to give me a list of the moves that I nodded after hearing. "Lets start by having you use headbutt , tail whip and mudslap so I can get a feel for your proficiency in them."

This request caught Nick off guard but was fairly easy to fulfill so he simply nodded. "Give me a bit of time and I should be able to get another hammer to you , consider it an early christmas gift." he said and the old man smiled happily. While Nick may not like the old man he was also aware that having him at his back was worth doing since after the mana concentration increases he will likely quickly grow more powerful. Nick wasn't stupid enough to think that someone like Dumbledore was una...

Nick was surprised by these two missions popping up but was more than happy to take them on. the first one was obviously going to take quite some time to fulfil since that amount of rings was no simple amount. To put it into perspective he could at the moment make twenty rings of protection before he needed to refill his energy stores. He could also only refill his energy stores three times a day. This meant that if he focused only on making those rings of protection he could make sixty of th...

Dumbledore and the rests eyes lit up with interest at that news since this was a very novel and interesting idea that effected many fields of study. For potions there was many a brew that required a specific set of moonlight as well as certain lunar or solar phenomena to finish. For transfiguration the Animagus ritual itself as well as a few others used lunar or solar energies to perform. Plants need not be mentioned in this regard while charms and alchemy fell in the same category as transfi...

To say that Nick was surprised by this turn of events would be a huge understatement as he was entirely speechless. He had at most expected that he would get one or two classes exempted or reduced to give him more time to improve himself but full exemption had never even crossed his mind. Nick knew that the only reason the professors were even making this decision was that there was now two dark lords active at the same time and only one Dumbledore. The man himself was stretched thin trying t...

The sun was starting to set when he finished up with that and I couldn't help but look over the out of place thing we had built up. It was a rough and uneven grey granite hill with several pits and cracks all along the outside of it that had a wide opening at the front. 'It almost looks like someone had gouged out a cave from the side of a mountain.' I thought with a smile. It wasn't all that pretty or anything but it would serve well to house my team and I while we stayed here and may even p...

Everyone except Snape sighed in relief when they heard him say this. "Had us worried there for a moment Nick." Flitwick said honestly. Nick shrugged "To be totally honest lycanthropies creation is a fairly easy thing to deduce once you have all these details.

The board was much the same as a standard chess board but had an extra two rows added on in the middle. With that said it was fairly clear to me that Gaia had created the different type pieces out of different colored stones using rock or ground type energy while the board was carved out of the hard black stone and filled with tan sand to make the lines. That was a VERY big difference between rock and ground type moves in reality compared to the games as the pokemon who used that type c...
