'Of course those like yourself who are bonded to pokemon tend to be more daring but even then few would make the same choice as you.' The Entei added with what I felt might be respect but it was faint so maybe I am delusional. I chuckled awkwardly "I imagine I'm a bit of an anomaly even amongst humans to begin with." I said honestly while thinking of the system. The Entei chuffed in what I assu...

Without a basis by which to build the enchantment he would only have the weakest possible enchantment which was simply not worth it in his opinion. One would assumed that Hagrid's gifted ring that made him closer to nature would count but it simply did not work on plants. In fact the ring simply made Hagrid ever so slightly more in tune with the wildlife nearby. As a result Nick resigned himsel...

"Why are you using those then!?" Hermione exclaimed in horror. "The language itself is highly conductive for magic and so long as I avoid certain phrases run no risk of bringing any member of said race here. In other words it's perfectly safe so long as I'm careful." Nick said with a shrug. "That's not what I mean! Isn't that dark magic?" Hermione pressed worriedly. "It's just a language so it'...

They also didn't really taste all that good either as they were rather bland and flavorless. After dinner we turned in for the night as per usual. Or at least that was the plan until the system decided to do it's random thing and send me a notification. 'Ugh! Why now of all times?' I thought with a sigh and opened my eyes again. Bringing up the system menu I took a look at what it had sent me a...

Nick left the headmaster shortly after that and spent the rest of the day slowly teaching his friends what he could. While most were slowly familiarizing themselves with crafting Harry and Luna were exposed to the terror that was Nick in duels. He might not agree with most of the man's ideas but the dueling club Lockhart would have eventually created was an excellent one. 'Since neither of them...

The name of the sender was one I knew but wasn't personally acquainted with despite how amusing the owner of it seemed to be. Albus had of course told me of the student that was giving him the most stress since he popped up out of nowhere , Nicholas Ravenclaw. A monstrous genius in almost every regard that seemed to be involved in several important affairs both secretly or di...

Today though was different then usual as today we weren't going exploring but rather I wanted to see if I could get Gaia to make some new moves using the old ones as a base. I shook her awake at our usual early wake up time. She got up with a yawn while I went to work reviving the fire again. I was getting pretty good at it too as I was starting to figure out the best way to blow as well as wha...

Things had been quiet for the last few months after I faked my wife Perenelle and I's deaths once again. It never ceased to amaze me how easily the vast majority of people accepted our deaths despite our record of faking it. I had contemplated actually dying several times over my long life but honestly speaking I couldn't accept leaving with so much left that I didn't...

"Not going to lie that sounded cringey as hell." Nick said with a chuckle and Flitwick laughed. "I suppose it did but that's just the way of things I suppose." the small man said sagely. Nick's group all just rolled their eyes at this and went back to what they were doing. Nick on the other hand chose to start up a genuine conversation with the professor. "That reminds me for whatever reason bu...

Natural sandstorms at most will sting at your skin and damage your eyes if it doesn't completely drown you in sand. Unfortunately there was nothing natural about the violent dome of sand covering Gaia and the pack. A triple stacked sandstorm like this one actively and slowly tried to remove flesh via constant fast paced abrasion. It was like someone rubbing heavy grit sandpaper over your skin i...

Everyone went to their classes after that and the rest of the day was fairly normal for Nick. He did learn something interesting however that honestly got him a little excited. Apparently while the position was vacant for the time being Dumbledore himself had taken up teaching the subject of DADA. This was a wonderful thing in Nick's opinion since despite his character flaws the old goat defini...

I stored the cloth from my pants in my bag and we continued into the forest in a direction we hadn't before. From the sun I guess it was northwest-ish but don't quote me on that as I could be totally wrong. There were a few other types of trees as we walked but most of them were pine trees. I honestly couldn't recognize most of the plants we passed so I had no clue if they were useful or not an...

Dumbledore tapped the ward stone and a colorful array of magic appeared in mid air. He then waved his wand skillfully navigating the huge variety of magics until he came to one specific part. It was dark purple and swirled sinisterly around some of the oldest parts of the magic. Nick took out his wand and placed the tip against his chest above his heart. "PER SANGUINEM MEUM ALLIGATUM GLOR...

Nick followed Snape into the office calmly and noticed Dumbledore hunched over his desk writing on a sheet of parchment. The old man seemed to notice them but continued writing for a couple moments before tapping the parchment with his wand. This caused the letter to fold itself and slip into an envelope that he then wrote a name on and handed to Fawkes. "I am terribly sorry for the actions of ...

I eventually sat up off the ground where I had fallen after the changes started which caused the dull skin layer on me the fall off revealing the bronze colored skin underneath it as if I had been out in the sun for years. This only applied to my arms and head however as my clothes had the rest trapped underneath it. I stripped down to get rid of the itchy and uncomfortable layer of shed skin f...

I scoffed to myself when the old man told me to treat the young man with understanding as if he was some normal brat. Nicholas Ravenclaw was many things but normal was not one of them. In his same situation I very much doubt any other student would have hesitated for a second to either flee in panic or violently attack Lockhart. That he instead turned the man in despite his ju...

It took a few moments and it drained a considerable amount of power but the rain stopped and the clouds slowly thinned. Tapping his wand on his robes he drew out the water in them before letting it fall to the ground with a splash. He repeated this for the rest of his friends since wet clothes made it easier to get sick. "Think the git will get a life sentence?" Ron asked breaking the silence. ...

I didn't recover from my awe at the divine fragment in front of me for nearly five minutes as my mind raced with the implications of this information. Once I did recover though I pocketed the four grade 5 water stones and recalled Gaia back to her ball. Sparing one last look at the tooth I then swam back across the lake to where my torch was. An interesting thing I had noticed before I recalled...

We took a brief break so that Gaia could recover some of her stamina and let her frankly crazy healing ability fix the minor damage she took as she ate some of the rocks nearby for nutrition. I wondered if her healing ability was the norm for pokemon or something specific to her but I had no way to tell until I either got another pokemon or rejoined society. Neither were in my plans for the mom...

Nick meanwhile was already in the castles courtyard letting the rain and wind wash over him as he raised his wand high above his head and simply let his rage and magic flow through it. A dense bright beam of lightning flew from the tip of the wand into the clouds above harmlessly but Nick felt better after venting out his anger at the sky. Oh he was still livid but at least now he was wasn't li...

I watched the memory that I had been given with more than a little irritation as I already had an idea of what happened. It wasn't hard to figure out to be honest if one paid attention to details. Gilderoy Lockhart was a showman with an overinflated ego that wanted nothing more than to be the center of attention. Any skill he may have had when he left Hogwarts originally ...

I asked the system what was up with the grade in the appraisal and was slightly surprised to learn that special stones like this hardstone or an evolution stone such as a fire stone actually have different levels of effectiveness and are thus graded. The lowest grade was 1 and meant that the item was barely capable of fulfilling the minimum requirement to count as a graded item. Grade 2 was the...

The ritual circle lit up and Nick felt the changes take place in his body as the acromantula heart slowly turned to ash.

Once they were gone he immediately took down the magical restriction ward in the workshop. Contrary to how it may seem he was very much affected by the thing as it shut his...

As we headed down the mountain I couldn't...
