(H.P: The ring maker)Exploring diagon alley

"Why not just make wands out of metal or some other material if wood is so picky?" Nick asked confused. Olivander chuckled when he heard this question "When I was a young man , barely out of Hogwarts in fact , I too asked that question and I found the answer. As it turns out you can in fact make wands out of other materials but they each had their own problems that wooden wands didn't have. For...

(C.M.S)Shrieking legiana

In the end he decided that it wasn't worth it and ignored the legiana to continue looking for a member of the subspecies. Flying west ward from that hotspring area Alex arrived at the usual nesting area of the species in the game that was a enclosed circular stone area with jagged mountainous walls on all sides a two paths into or out of the area. He checked for signs of nesting and while he fo...

(H.P: The ring maker)First lesson(2)

Nick didn't argue but took out his quill and notebook to copy down this information as while it wasn't super important it was pure gold for his organic smithing experiments. He had been troubled by how different pieces of wood always seemed to have different resistances to different enchantments. Sure he had not actually had a successful case of enchanting a wooden ring beyond the magical grena...

(H.P: The ring maker)First lesson

Nick wasted no time at all placing his luggage at the foot of the bed and setting up an area in the corner for Steve to put his hoard while they were here. Beyond that though he didn't have any change that he felt like making to the room. Walking out of the room with Helena behind him Nick quickly found Olivander in the main store dealing with an auror who seemed to need his wand repaired. The ...

(C.M.S)Passing time

Thanks to how powerful both Alex and Zane were their spars tended to be closer to actual combat than harmless practice sessions. The reason for this was that anything short of that level of difficulty achieved next to nothing during the spar besides wasting time. Even more insanely is that during their spars they still held back enough not to seriously harm the other party. This meant that for ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Digs

"I have met several members of your family over the years so I am not overly familiar but I believe you excelled in transfiguration." Helena said with some thought. Olivander looked highly pleased that she seemed to remember him in some regard but then looked regretful. "I am sorry to say that I don't think the portkey works on ghost such as yourself unfortunately." he said truly regretful. Hel...

(H.P: The ring maker)Train ride and Olivander

Despite their terrifying appearance thestrals were very affectionate creatures and the one Nick was petting leaned into his touch eagerly. Nick was shooed off by Hagrid shortly after that however as the thestrals were getting over zealous in obtaining Nick's affections and starting to nip at each other to get his pets to themselves. He didn't mind though since he had accomplished what he had co...

(C.M.S)Brutal brawl

Velkhana took this opportunity to retreat and while Alex saw this he didn't care as the master rank nergigante held his focus at the moment. He noted that the elder's spikes were halfway black which showed that it was well on it's way to becoming a ruiner variant of it's self. A vicious smile covered his reptilian face as he felt the thrill of a good fight rush through him and taking a deep bre...

(H.P: The ring maker)Visiting Hagrid

The twins saw this happen but could only lament Peeve's misfortune to target the scariest first year they had ever heard of. This wasn't a joke either as they had searched for any records of anyone like him in the past but no one even came close. Sure there had been genius's like Dumbledore and someone called Thomas Riddle but no one had been nearly as overwhelming in their first year of school...

(H.P: The ring maker)Small altercation

Most who didn't know what to look for wouldn't notice it but the castle had signs of age along it's walls and corridors. Small things like discoloration , hairline cracks and mold in dark areas that no one ever seems to see. Despite being the caretaker for the castle Filch actually didn't do much repair or cleaning in the school and it showed. Nick ran his hand along an old crack in the walls o...

(C.M.S)A new challenger approaches

Velkhana clearly didn't expect this and was engulfed by the scorching flames but only managed to escape unharmed thanks to the ice armor over it scales. Opening it's mouth the elder breathed out a frigid beam of energy at Alex in retaliation. He calmly met the cold energy with a claw covered in dense flames as he pressed forward towards the elder. Velkhana wasn't aware of this however as the cl...

(H.P: The ring maker)Final days of the the year

By the second to last week of school Nick had finally made his choice based on the most precious opportunity that each possible mentor gave him. In the end he chose Olivander since he honestly seriously needed knowledge on veritology for his ring wraith project. It also helped that he was pretty sure that Olivander would be more than happy to allow him to take the time to set up Sirius's releas...

(H.P: The ring maker)Unforeseen options

Much like he had been told Mcgonagall had indeed given him a list of applicants for the apprenticeship program. Contrary to what most would guess this list wasn't a made to order thing where people could apply to mentor a specific student after learning who they were. In truth at the start of every year the ministry briefly accepts the applications of people who wanted to mentor a student over ...

(C.M.S)Picking a fight

The next couple of days were fairly interesting for Alex as he had been actively hunting the variants of different monsters that were starting to show up. Things like the fulgur anjanath , nightshade poalumu , viper tobi kadachi and even the coral pukei pukei. Honestly speaking these monsters were merely elemental makeover versions of the normal species in Alex's opinion. For example the fulgur...

(H.P: The ring maker)A slight change in plans

Nick frowned at this as he had made sure that his talent at flying hadn't ever been too pronounced during class. As far as he was concerned what he had shown wasn't nearly good enough for her to personally come to him in regards to if he planned to play quidditch. "Tsk , I thought so after Sinistra told me of your little flight christmas night. It was clear in class that you weren't really goin...

(H.P: The ring maker)Down time

As it just so happened he did indeed get a visitor in the form of a boy with slicked back short blonde hair and green lined robes , Draco Malfoy. Nick couldn't help but raise and eyebrow in surprise at the fact that the boy was alone as well. Malfoy looked around the workshop curiously before his eyes focused on Nick on his comfy chair. "Good evening Malfoy , what can I do for you?" Nick asked ...

(C.M.S)Undersea forest

The food was rich and flavorful like Alex had come to expect from the cooks in this world and he had no problem at all polishing off the entire dish. The chef nodded in appreciation for his quite apparent gluttony before moving on to the other parts of her work. Alex meanwhile was looking over the traits he had gotten from the meal. [Weaponized tail] , [ice resistance] and most surprisingly of ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Aftermath

Nick slept like a log for the entire night and most of the morning only waking up at around lunch time. 'Ugh , need to remind myself not to have any plans after absorbing the other horcrux's. I feel like I weigh an extra hundred pounds.' he complained immediately. Thanks to having had time to "digest" his gains a little he no longer had veins popping out or red skin but he felt uncomfortably he...

(H.P: The ring maker)Secret destruction(2)

Helena immediately turned corporeal and calmly walked over to the heavily trapped part of the room and purposefully began to set the curses off. Nick watched on in amusement as these vile magics were strike Helena before being dispelled by her returning to her incorporeal state rendering them without a target to effect and thus dissipating. The soul shard in the diadem was clearly starting to g...

(C.M.S)Barrioth

It was small things like flash frozen animals and strange crystal like shards of something that only Alex was aware was scales from the elder. It wasn't yet time for Velkhana to show up though as the handler finally met up with the wanderer(female). This also sparked off the official appearance of the subspecies of monsters appearing as the viper tobi kadachi showed up and got hunted by Zane. T...

(H.P: The ring maker)Secret destruction

Helena didn't stop painting when he entered the room despite being in her corporeal form somehow knowing that it was him rather than anyone else. "Get ready , tonight we are going to rip the soul shard out of the diadem." Nick said briskly as he locked the door behind him. Helena's hand trembled ruining the painting she was working on when she heard him. She calmed herself and placed the brush ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Incoming confrontation

"A phoenix is not considered an adult until it survives it's first rebirth , and there are signs within the feather that it never underwent rebirth hence not being an adult. Thunderbirds have a similar phenomena that involves the freshly hatched birds needing to survive a violent thunderstorm from inside it which lets them also be reborn from a storm. In my opinion the hybrid likely also had a ...

As much as I like seeing the comments on the chapters I am unable to see any replies posted on the comments without commenting on them myself so if you have any questions or ideas please send me a direct message instead.

Many thanks- loskro the author

(H.P: The ring maker)The celestial bird

"I won't lie and say I am an expert on the subject in front of such a skilled magizoologist such as yourself but I have a little more information than anyone else." Nick said hoarsely. Newt took out a note pad and quill with an eager expression ready to write down what Nick was going to say but Nick weakly held up his hand to stop him. Removing a small empty vial out of Greed Nick shakily place...

(H.P: The ring maker)Newt Scamander

Nick wasn't all that worried though since even in the book Malfoy failed to achieve anything with this information save making the golden trio panic. "Well it's a good thing that we were going to write to Mr. Scamander then isn't it?" he said and everyone expressions lit up. "That's right! Malfoy would be helpless to stop us if we did that." Ron said excited by the idea. "I'd honestly thought I...

(H.P: The ring maker)Dragon hatching(2)

"Quick question Hagrid what are you going to do after the egg hatches? It's illegal to own dragons and the things bound to grow too big to hide in no time flat." Nick said seriously and Hagrid stiffened and looked embarrassed. "You know I hadn't much thought about it but I'm sure I'll think of something." he said dismissively but Nick wasn't going to accept that. "Perhaps you could send a lette...

(H.P: The ring maker)Dragon hatching

Nick had also been dealing with all of his own personal studies into the fundamentals of literally every topic he could at his current level. Attack magic , defensive magic , occlumency , legilimency , magizoology , potions , transfiguration and even divination though he made little progress in this subject due to all the books on it sounding like a lunatics ramblings and not because they were ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Passing time

Nick had to physically restrain Helena however when she started touching everything in the workshop messing up his nice orderly space. He couldn't exactly kick her out of the workshop either as until she figured out how to control the corporeality of the ring she would basically be telling Voldemort "Hey look at me! I know how to have a body despite being a ghost!" which would definitely not en...

(H.P: The ring maker)Second attempt

Nick's meal like always included quite a lot of proteins from various sources such as beans and meat. He also made sure to stock up on sweets since he was starting to get low due to the amount he consumes per forging session. After dinner he went to bed in order to prepare for his day tomorrow since it was one of the days he had herbology. The classes got progressively harder as education typic...

(H.P: The ring maker)Failure

Before Nick had a chance to appraise the ring Helena rapidly grabbed it and put it on showing that at the very least she could touch the thing. Unfortunately it quickly became clear that the ring was a failure as white and gold energy tendrils extended from the ring into Helena's arm causing her to scream in pain. Nick immediately exerted his authority over the ring and had it grow and fall off...
