Nick woke up on monday after the week restarted and felt that something was off in a sort of intuitive manner that he couldn't explain. Everyone was perfectly fine on the island too as he checked immediately. None of the barriers were missing and besides Lucas everyone else was sleeping but Nick had this feeling that something was still wrong. He quickly raised his wand and fired a blast of fir...

2023-11-20 16:28:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Harry was done with his attempt at the room Sirius chose to give it a try but complained when Nick skipped all the previous levels and placed the difficulty directly at the eighth level. "If you aren't better than a seventh year by default you have failed as a wizard." Nick said sternly. "Can't argue there I suppose." Sirius said with a shrug before taking his place in front of the facele...
2023-11-20 16:18:56 +0000 UTC View Post"If you'd like I suggest starting from the first setting and working your way up until you start to get challenged. No one will be able to take first place on the scoreboard until the seventh level however since I have the perfect scores for all the previous levels." Nick said while taking out the key and placing it in the first slot. The room immediately changed to appear like a they were stan...
2023-11-20 16:16:55 +0000 UTC View Post"For the more active amongst you the next room will be of particular interest as it is a little competition I set up that doubles as an accurate gauge of where you stand in magical combat." Nick explains after his show. "How's that work exactly?" Fred asked curiously. "The room we are going to creates a set of targets based on what it is set on that you need to destroy for points. If you get hi...
2023-11-19 16:42:20 +0000 UTC View Post"Now that you mention it what else is there for us to do?" Daphne asked curiously. "The next activity I have set up is in another room so we should head over there before I can explain it." Nick said with a smile. He had set up a few different means of entertainment for guests in the manor over the time he had been working in it that weren't all that complex but could easily occupy someone for ...
2023-11-19 16:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostA hidden feature that Nick added however made sure the minimum length of a game possible was ten minutes as the snitch wouldn't appear until that time. This was to allow the other players to really enjoy the game without having to worry about it being cut short. Thanks to the way the game was played you didn't actually need any skill on a broom to win in this version of quidditch which let peop...
2023-11-18 16:47:06 +0000 UTC View Post"I have heard rumors about those playmaker rings and always wondered why you hadn't sold them in bulk but it seems you had your eyes much higher than that!" Florian said while admiring the craftsmanship of the table. "I admit I had thought about selling the playmaker rings on a larger scale but the time such an effort would demand is simply not worth it at the moment." Nick said honestly. The w...
2023-11-18 16:45:21 +0000 UTC View PostI could understand the poor guys confusion as I looked like many things but a pill master was definitely not amongst that list. From what I had gathered off the internet most pill masters were either scrawny unkempt individuals or old folks who had been doing it for a long time. This was obviously a stereotype but it did turn out true more times than not apparently. I did not fall into this ste...
2023-11-17 16:29:52 +0000 UTC View Post"Why don't you seem concerned about Lucas's ability to cast spells getting out?" Arthur asked confused. "I have a deal with the Tepes vampires and can handle anyone else that thinks they can force the secret out of me , well except perhaps a handful of people but they probably wouldn't care about it to begin with." Nick said confidently. He wasn't lying either as thanks to his natural mana grow...
2023-11-17 16:14:50 +0000 UTC View Post"Yes yes laugh it up at my failings , I'll remember this when one of you screws up next time." Nick said with a huff at his friends teasing. "Oh no whatever shall we do?" Tracy asked dramatically with a teasing smile. "Moving on I'll show you all the much more interesting parts of the manor which can all be found upstairs." Nick said changing the subject. "Oh are you going to show us your tortu...
2023-11-17 16:09:47 +0000 UTC View PostThis was my first real science based skill so I was admittedly rather curious about the differences it may have had from it's counter part on earth. I was horribly disappointed to find that it was basically the same as it was on earth. To explain it in terms anyone can understand chemistry is the art of understanding and replicating chemical reactions. The five basic types of reactions are comb...
2023-11-16 17:24:31 +0000 UTC View PostSoon everyone finished up settling their things into the chosen rooms and Nick spoke up after they gathered again. "Now that everyone is settled in I believe I should go over a few ground rules that needed to be stated before I give the tour. First is that there are places on the island that have been blocked off for safety or privacy reasons so should you come across them leave the barriers al...
2023-11-16 17:00:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe reasons and levels of concern over that were different between each adult but the concern was shared by all of them none the less. That concern evaporated when they walked into the manor however as it was replaced by awe at what they saw. The large spherical conjunction flame atronach that floated in the center of the reception area cast a warm and impressive scene for them. The whole manor...
2023-11-16 16:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostWe took a ten minute break after that so I could get through the refractory period before going at it again. After we were done we both got a shower before I cooked dinner while Melissa replaced the sheets. "UM~ A good cook and fuck? I sorta feel bad that you'll be leaving in a week." she joked as she ate the meal I prepared for her. Like usual I ate with my pokemon who were thankfully small en...
2023-11-15 17:04:47 +0000 UTC View Post"What are those things , I've never seen them in any book before?" Hermione asked curiously and everyone looked at nick for an answer. "They are a sort of elemental construct that I call atronachs. They are my most recent achievement infact , pretty cool right?" Nick asked proudly after introducing the things to everyone. "They aren't alive then?" Arthur asked seriously. Nick shook his head "No...
2023-11-15 16:50:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhile he knew that he was perfectly safe since he was invited into the manor rather than if he entered without an escort he honestly didn't trust Daphnes parents. During the previous wizarding war with Voldemort they had refused to take a side which wasn't bad or anything but their other actions were not great as they hiked up potion ingredient prices to profit off the war. Nick didn't mind bei...
2023-11-15 16:48:12 +0000 UTC View Post"Speaking of those two clans how did your meeting go with them?" I asked curiously. "Turns out I didn't even need to get involved since the member of the Joy clan involved came forward and explained the misunderstanding after learning what the Jenny clan did. I barely needed to say anything before the matriarchs of the clans apologized to me and promised it wouldn't happen again." Birch said ho...
2023-11-14 16:36:28 +0000 UTC View Post"Welcome to my home Nick! Please make yourself comfortable while we wait for Harry to get ready to go!" Sirius said in a friendly manner while motioning to the nearby armchairs. "It seems my gift has done you quite a bit of good." Nick commented while sitting down. "Ah yes , I can't thank you enough for that little trinket as I was sick of those damn potions!" Sirius said with a disgusted look ...
2023-11-14 16:23:40 +0000 UTC View PostStill the result Nick was after was significantly more complex than the normal versions effects so it still took him until the night before he goes to get his friends to finish it. "Protea Loculamentum!" He spoke and the red spell landed on the stone marbles he was practicing on. Nick then transfigured one of the marbles but the other remained the same. Then he changed it agai...
2023-11-14 16:21:33 +0000 UTC View Post"I suppose I can understand that , though aren't there men working for the gyms as well?" I asked curiously. How this ends was pretty much set in stone at this point so learning a bit more about the inner workings of a gym could only benefit me. "Of course there are but do you know how awkward that is after the stress dies down? It's horrible!" Melissa said with a shudder. I merely shrugged at ...
2023-11-13 16:24:51 +0000 UTC View PostNick first set up a small barrier on the door of the atronach forge room that should keep out any overly inquisitive minds , like Hermione. He then repeated this process on a few other places such as the hydras pond and the storage room. Once that was done Nick called out "Dotty!" and with a loud "POP!" the house elf appeared. "What is your bidding master?" the small servant asked eagerly. "I w...
2023-11-13 16:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere was an immediate react from the wand as it creaked and hummed loudly as the casing and core tried to sync up with each other. Sadly this was when tragedy struck and the wand crumbled under the power of the salts causing the wood to fall apart as if exposed to long term frost. The frost salts themselves were pretty much unchanged however so Nick salvaged them while cleaning up the mess to ...
2023-11-13 16:04:28 +0000 UTC View Post'If I can get ahold of a French alchemist I could get this settled easily enough but I lack any real contacts over there.' Nick thought with a sigh before heading up to the newly refurbished study to draft a letter to Madam Maxime to inquire about a trustworthy alchemist. He had thought of seeing if Flammel would help him with but chose to discard that idea since the only method to contact the ...
2023-11-12 16:50:50 +0000 UTC View PostWith a "POP!" Nick and Lucas arrived on the island with Dotty and both sighed in relief at their narrow escape. As the only royal vampire ever born Minas abilities were largely unknown beyond a few of her bloodline ones so Nick wasn't entirely sure if she had noticed his uniqueness and thus wanted him to become a vampire. While he didn't think his race was the most unique to exist in all of the...
2023-11-12 16:47:21 +0000 UTC View PostIf the looks on Vlad and Jessephs faces was anything to go by Nick was not alone in his surprise and confusion , though likely for different reasons. Nick simply hadn't expected for the princess to speak at all during the negotiations and thus frowned when she did. The two royal vampires though probably had very different thoughts on the matter. "I do hope that is a joke , I gain literally noth...
2023-11-11 16:25:37 +0000 UTC View Post"It's not like you could use the stuff to begin with so I imagine it's not a problem at all." Nick said without denying it. "That is indeed mostly true , however in any future creations it would be for the best if the way the effects are accomplished is explained as well to prevent any misunderstandings. For now though Jesseph you can put the ring back on as it's safe." Vlad said and Jesseph wa...
2023-11-11 16:21:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe guy didn't seem all that surprised at my answer which probably made sense considering the nature of my pokemon. Variants may be rare but not to the point that it was unheard of for a team like mine to exist. People with teams filled with variants pop up every now and again so my story wasn't hard to believe at all. I chatted with the guy a bit after that in order to get a feel for any mista...
2023-11-10 17:29:21 +0000 UTC View Post"I'm told going from a warrior to a politician tends to do that." Nick said reassuringly. Jesseph smiled "I thank you for your understanding in this matter , I am embarrassed at my blunder despite my claims." He said apologetically. Nick shook his head "It is clear from the familiarity you have with the weapon that you were not idly boasting. You did make a very large mistake though by relying ...
2023-11-10 17:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostNick woke up nice and early the next day as he usually does and stretched before waving his wand to have his bed made again. "Anything strange happen while I was asleep?" he asked Lucas with a yawn. "Not a peep boss , nice and calm just like you said it'd be." Lucas said without looking up from his metallurgy book. "Hmm" Nick hummed in response before finding a seat of his own to continue readi...
