Author here! So this chapter is actually 1450 words long since I keep getting comments about how short the chapters are. So you all get to choose whether you want the rest of the chapters to be this length or the normal length of two chapters , majority rules.

The next day was a rather important one for Nick as he was finally going ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Returning students

Still Nick's free time was drastically cut short due to the fact that the last day of December came around and the next day was the start of the next semester of classes. The students that left all returned by this point and settled in. Nick got smothered in a hug by Daphne and Tracy when they returned as they were so happy with the gifts they received. "Honestly it wasn't that big a deal as yo...

(H.P: The ring maker)Shifting forces

The agreement was very much a sort of magically binding contract between Grindelwald and the entire wizarding world. In exchange for his life after his defeat Grindelwald was required to spend the rest of his days within the walls of Nurmengard castle unless he discovered a way to serve the wizarding communities without targeting the statute of secrecy or dominion over muggles. For nearly fifty...

(H.P: The ring maker)White wizards woe

Dumbledore was ashamed that despite everything he not only failed to gently lead Harry down the path he needed but had even been exposed and berated for his lowly actions. He didn't blame Nick for exposing him and ruining any chances of Harry listening to him as the boy was right to be angry. The mirror of erised's effect on those looking into it had driven even those with strong wills to madne...

(H.P: The ring maker)The mirror

Nick purposefully didn't look at the mirror itself but rather the decorated metallic frame around it that had letters in the english language written on it. "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi". Nick read the words out loud before scoffing and reversing and correcting them. "I show not your face but your hearts desire. The mirror of erised , a cruel and powerful artifact that has drive...

(H.P: The ring maker)A flight and strange event

Nick got into a massive snowball war thanks to the twins that maybe got a little out of hand after breakfast. "They have us pinned down mates and I see no hope of a sacrifice less victory , avenge me!" Nick said dramatically while tanking the hail of cold snow to cover for his friends to approach the twins. It was all in all a good day for Nick full of laughs and smiles the entire time. Dinner ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Christmas(2)

Nick finally started to open his own presents after that while Ron and Harry watched curiously to see what he got. First up on the list was his own sweater made by missus Weasley that was cobalt blue in color. Nick put it on with a smile before moving on to the next package that was from Hermione. Much like the other two he received candy in the form of chocolate frogs which he immediately ate ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Christmas

The entire castle went to sleep early in hopes of bringing the next day to them even faster. Nick ended up waking up at around five thirty in the morning as his magical senses picked up on a sudden shift in the dorm room. Seeing the piles of presents at the end of each of the beds he figured out that it mas merely the house elves delivering the christmas presents. Checking the time he could onl...

(H.P: The ring maker)Theories and changes

Nick took it easy for the entire day as well as christmas eve itself which actually proved to bother his friends as by now they were used to him being who knows where whenever he had free time. The fact that he was actually lazing about all day was such a change from normal that it caught them totally off guard. Not to say that they weren't happy to hang out with him , merely that they found it...

(H.P: The ring maker)Final gifts(2)

Nick was quite satisfied with this bracelet but also rather happy that he wasn't totally exhausted after enchanting it since very little of his energy was wasted due to the short duration it was active. He was still quite tired since he had still enchanted something but at least he hadn't almost collapsed. "What was that about?" Helena asked curiously and Flitwick shared the same sentiment. "No...

(H.P: The ring maker)Final gifts

Even in the workshop Neither Nick or Flitwick were in any mood to make jokes or exchange banter after the news. Despite this Nick focused on making his gifts for his friends and thankfully he merely needed to enchant another four items before christmas so he should be able to laze about after tomorrow. For today he was working on finishing Flitwick's gift as well as making Harry's in it's entir...

(H.P: The ring maker)Second sacrifice

Nick was overcome with a familiar sense of weakness after he finished the ring but Flitwick had anticipated this and held him steady with a spell. Nick wasted no time at all slipping the broom shaped ring on his finger and mentally willing it to activate. Immediately a quidditch pitch appeared out of thing air but in miniature and Flitwick gasped in awe. Nick ignored this and willed the game to...

(H.P: The ring maker)Presents(3)

Nick looked over the ring he had just made carefully while secretly using the system appraisal on it. Despite neither of the two people outside himself present being able to see the system Nick wasn't going to risk it getting known at all. Nick knew that the system was one of the only secrets that he would never share with another person. He was fine with this knowledge as well since all things...

(H.P: The ring maker)Presents(2)

Nick then put the holey cube back into the fire to get close to melting before taking it out and carefully severing the metal at certain points. This in the end created two separate rings of metal spiraled around each other like a loosely braided rope. Flitwick was clearly impressed with this as it was a very precise piece of work. Nick paid this no attention however as he focused on smoothing ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Presents

Once the party was over Nick left some parting words with the Greengrass family as well as Minister Fudge and returned to Hogwarts. It was only once he reached the castle that he visibly relaxed and sighed in relief. Dumbledore was nowhere to be found in the office when Nick arrived so he simply left without any issue and made his way to the common room to get changed for sleep and get rid of t...

(C.M.S)Seliana

Alex was of course sent on collection duty for these things since he was clearly the fastest way to get them. He didn't process the materials but merely collected and dropped them off as specified by the French sounding resource girl. Her accent bothered Alex still since not a single person in astera had a similar accent and she was born there. Despite this she was fantastic with logistical wor...

(H.P: The ring maker)Yule ball(2)

Nick didn't go overboard and secretly ate a bit of lembas bread to lower the amount of food he needed to take in without totally ruining his appetite. For the little of his hunger that remained Nick merely snacked on something that looked like mini sausages but was covered in a thin sweet glaze. Once satisfied with his food Nick found a chair and sat off to the side of the ballroom floor calmly...

(H.P: The ring maker)Yule ball

The moment the conversation ended the flames of the nearby floo fireplace roared in an emerald color and a man stepped out of the fireplace not even bothering to remove the soot on his clothes from the floo travel. "Headmaster" he said respectfully towards Dumbledore who merely nodded at the man "Alexander" he said greeting the man. The man had short brown hair and eyes and a large but not fat ...

(C.M.S)Hunting

Alex expected that it may take a few days for the preparations to finish and for the forward group to make their way over to this land mass. Knowing this he simply flew up into the air and began to patrol the area in order to find something to eat. It didn't take him very long either as there were two monsters nearby who both made a bit of noise simply by being there , beotodus and bambaro. Bot...

(H.P: The ring maker)Over due conversation

This combination of many striking features altogether resulted in Nick appearing regal and even slightly imposing despite his young age. "You clean up rather nicely I would say" Helena complimented his appearance. "Thank you , that is the whole idea for this get up after all." he said as he dismissed the summoned mirror. "TEMPUS!" he said with a light tap of his wand to check the time. "4:48 , ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Holidays

Still 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 ...

(C.M.S)Hoarfrost area

Alex didn't get involved in the events surrounding the tracking of the legiana as he needed for the theory that there was another landmass to pop up first. Sure he could just go straight to the frozen land that awaits them but that would pretty much all but tell everyone that he already knew about the place. Needless to say this was a conversation he didn't feel like having if he could avoid it...

(H.P: The ring maker)Rings of protection

Nick placed most of the segments to the side to work on later before grabbing one of them and using a steel punch to create a hole in the middle of it. He then began to widen the hole while also making sure to round the edges of the ring which in the end left him with a plain iron band that was dull grey and unremarkable. Nick repeated this process with all of the rest of the segments leaving h...

(H.P: The ring maker)Talking to Mcgonagall(2)

"I won't go into the details of exactly how I enchant things as currently the wizarding world doesn't deserve to have that knowledge but even you must be able to see how advanced this piece is , no?" He said like a tempting devil whispering sin in ones ears. She reluctantly nodded in agreement "It is indeed beyond your current capabilities and is close to being beyond my own as well. Not becaus...

(H.P: The ring maker)Talking to Mcgonagall

Nick was currently playing fetch with Steve using a joke toy the twins made that was a ball that moves away from you every time you try to pick it up. It was amusing to watch as the surprisingly fast creature dashed all over the room after the ball that was always one step ahead of him. Steve was clever however and eventually managed to pin the ball in a corner after which he held it up above h...

(H.P: The ring maker)Thieving steve

His friends were much more relaxed at dinner this time as he didn't have awful wounds all over his arms. "Did you already figure out how to use the shield charm Nick?" Ron asked in surprise. Nick nodded but a slight twitch of his eyebrow told Harry and Hermione not to ask how , Ron did not get that message though. "That's incredible! How'd you manage it without getting gnarled up like before?" ...

Options

We are reaching the end of Custom monster system and so I am left with a slight dilemma that applies to all of you as well. You see I am not entirely sure what I should do after it's finally over. Like I am sort of itching to start a new story (Cuz I have ideas) and at the same time I am really getting into writing the Harry potter story which is slated to be my longest yet. So rather than bein...

(H.P: The ring maker)Beatdown

"Until now I was only capable of appearing in the astral realm but now that you have this realm I can appear here as well. Now you face Celebrimbor , Lord of Eregion and son of Feanor!" The elf said aggressively before charging Nick. Focusing his thoughts Nick tried to shift the mindscape but he found it resisting him which caused his eyes to go wide before Celebrimbor punched him in the face a...

(H.P: The ring maker)Argument

"There has to be a better way to do this Nick." Harry said seriously but Nick shook his head. "Honestly speaking if it were anyone else that may in fact be true , but I told you that I simply don't fear injury so I keep failing and until I overcome this hurtle it will stay this way." He said with a sigh. He tapped his head "It a problem with this really so there is no other option unless you kn...

(C.M.S) The finish line

The system also revealed that the peak of the "demigod" realm was the highest any creature in the world including him could reach. Alex assumed that if he could manage to become ageless as well that he would be just a single peg below an actual god. It was an odd concept to him as he hadn't thought about what he was becoming as he grew. He was so focused on just growing stronger that now that h...
