(H.P: The ring maker)Holidays
🕑 Added 2023-06-24 17:16:34 +0000 UTCStill after dealing with his own personal version of hell known as herbology Nick was finally free to seek out Mcgonagall with his proof of concept. This meeting went about as excepted as she tested out two of the rings personally and after making sure the rest were the same she took them and went to go see Dumbledore. It came as little surprise to Nick that the old goat agreed to the proposal straight away under the condition that the Ministry of magic also agreed. Nick merely sent a letter to Fudge talking about the possibility of attending the annual yule ball he held while ever so subtly hinting at wanting his aid for this plan.-
Despite not technically having permission just yet Nick already decided to start stockpiling the rings and made ten more and slept in the workshop again. He worked like this for the next week before the ministries acceptance letter arrived alongside a formal invitation to the yule ball. 'I'm going to need a suit.' Nick thought with a sigh. It was going to be his first public appearance at one of these high society events and that meant that he needed to look his best.-
The invitation came with a letter explaining how Nick would arrive and depart from the ball since he would be staying at the school over the holidays as an orphan. The Hogwarts floo connection directly to the ministry was the path set out for Nick to take. Fudge apparently was going to have someone arrive at Hogwarts and escort Nick to the ball on the nineteenth of December at five o'clock. The party will then last until eight o'clock after which Nick will be escorted back to Hogwarts likely thoroughly mentally exhausted.-
Nick had to approach Mcgonagall for a trip to diagon alley on the up coming weekend in order to get his suit made by Madam malkins. This request was approved and she was sent to chaperone him while he was out of Hogwarts to make sure nothing untoward occurred. Nick was very professional however during the trip and even got an intrigued look from the elderly witch when she heard the specifications on the suit he ordered. It was certainly going to show off his extraordinary appearance in a interesting way. After that Nick basically just went about his day to day business while continuously stocking up on rings of protection.-
The constant enchanting and forging of rings worked wonders on his points as well as on his efficiency in channeling his spirit. His magic had also grown more potent but not by an unbelievable degree since magic was much like a muscle in how it grew. As he regularly worked it out it also grew more than the most of the other students in the castle. The reason it was most and not all was because Harry's magic was shooting up like a rocket. Nick's theory was that this was because of the power held by the soul shard tricking his magic into thinking his soul was stronger than it was.-
Nick was happy for Harry rather than jealous of his quick growth since he had is own benefits. It was a couple of days before the christmas holidays began and Nick had finally managed to stock pile over two hundred rings of protection. With the system giving him twenty points for each he suddenly found himself sitting pretty at over four thousand points right now. With the help of the twins and the professors turning a blind eye Nick advertised his rings of protection school wide over the next two days.-
He was slightly off on the number of orders he received as it was seventy three people who wanted one and twelve who wanted more than one. In the end he sold eighty seven total rings bringing him a profit of fifty one galleons and three sickles. It was only thanks to the professors silent endorsement that the sales were such a hit as many looked to them for verification of the legitimacy of the rings effect. After getting it most didn't mind shelling out some of their savings for a ring.-
The day after the holidays officially began and all the students going home for it were gone Nick could be found in the workshop looking at himself in a conjured full length mirror as he adjusted his suit last minute. It was a marvelous piece made of unicorn hair and acromantula silk in the form of a muggle style tuxedo. The coloration however was what made it pop as it was black with a whole lot of small white dots all over it like the starry sky as the suit shimmered slightly in the light. Nick himself had used some easy removed magic hair gel to comb back neatly his usually unruly grey hair.
