(H.P: the ring maker)The after party
🕑 Added 2024-01-25 16:59:56 +0000 UTC"Harry you were brilliant mate!" Ron said excitedly as the group met up with him after the task ended. "Thanks Ron , I guess those hints at fighting dragons really came in handy." Harry said with a grin at Nick. "I can't talk about the tasks while the tournaments on , especially not with you champions , signed a contract you see." Nick said with a shrug. "Makes sense , got me curious why you had to sign one of those though." Harry said curiously. "I suppose you'll just have to figure that out on your own , it should easy for you specifically." Nick said vaguely.-
Rita tried to grab Harry for another interview but he effectively told her to fuck off and headed up into the castle with most of the rest of the group. Ron had to go and send a letter to his mom since she asked for one after the task ended. There was a whole celebration in the Gryffindor common room and Harry got egged on into opening the golden egg so that they all could hear the hints it contained. What they got instead was high pitched screaming until Harry shut the egg again and it went silent.-
"Bloody hell , how in Merlins saggy robes is anyone supposed to understand that?" Seamus complained while twirling his pinky in his ear to try and get out the ringing in it. Harry gave Nick a pleading look but only got a shaken head back "I don't know about you guys but I think i'm going to go take a bath , all that excitement really makes me want to soak my head underwater." Nick said before leaving. No one seemed to find what he said as strange and merely saw him off.-
Nobody but Harry however that looked like he found a clue to follow but wanted to celebrate his current victory for the moment. Nick wasn't just leaving a hint for his friend though but really intended to get a bath in the Room of requirement since he wanted one. Sure he could get clean with magic but sometimes it was nice to just soak for a bit in scalding hot water. The room was also filled with things Nick wanted to grab before he graduated at the end of this year. Books , notes , scrolls and other objects that had been lost there over the last thousand years.-
The room of hidden things was very expansive after all and Nick never really bothered trying to sort through everything till now. After his bath he left the room and let the door fade away before summoning the door to the room of hidden things and got to work. Anything useless or broken he fed to his realm as raw material while the rest were sorted according to what they were used for. The cursed objects were identified and had their curses cataloged before he fed them to the realm which boosted the mana and matter of it.-
The useful or antique stuff was set aside behind him as he worked his way through the sea of things. Books , notes , scrolls or documents were placed in his collection within the realm so long as they weren't cursed and if they were he would crack the curse before doing so unless doing so ruined the value of the texts. More than once the curses on the texts were actually needed in order to facilitate learning the magical knowledge written down. Nick also found more than a few experimental potions , ingredients or even bizarre items like alchemized items.-
Like the cursed items he identified and either stored or destroyed the stuff he found. Even though he was quick and efficient in this process he barely emptied a single percent of the rooms contents by the end of the day. 'This is going to be a problem isn't it?' Nick thought with a sigh. The sheer amount of stuff in the room was insane and since most of it was magical he actually had to take a moment to identify what it was all about. Nick was halfway tempted to see if Dotty could sort it but felt it would be rather wasteful after consideration.-
The house elf was currently dealing with the rather odd side effect of Nick becoming a realm lord. The magical bond between them had caused the house elf to start a sort of evolution in an unknown direction. As a result the pitiful creature was pretty much bedridden for the time being as the dense mana on the island helped nourish its changing anatomy. Which direction this change was heading Nick had no clue but it should be interesting at least.
