Chapter 9: Bullies

Chapter 9: Bullies

Nick was surprised how no one seemed to notice the brilliant ring on his right hand in the orphanage or on the bus ride to school. The only time this changed was when he sat next to Harry after turning in his homework. "Where'd you get that ring?" the bespectacled boy asked with clear confusion. Harry knew from the previous day that Nick was an orphan just like him so he was worried that it was gotten through thievery even if Nick didn't seem the sort to do such a thing.-

Nick chuckled at how good natured Harry was despite the life he's led so far. "Not to worry mate it's not stolen , honestly made it just last night. Try to keep that quiet though as it'll cause problems for me if others found out." he said honestly. Nick had no intention of lying to Harry since even in the books the boy was extremely perceptive to lies. Harry's eyes widened when he heard that and he grew excited "You know how to make jewelry!?" he asked with a very interested expression. Nick didn't blame Harry since thanks to his aunt spending large amount of money on jewelry as a sign of status he knew jewelry crafters probably made loads of money.-

Harry might not have ever been given any real money but he was perceptive enough to notice that those with it could live comfortably. Learning that the first person who wanted to be friends with him could make jewelry thus excited him greatly. 'Poor guy doesn't even have a clue how valuable what I make really is , can't tell him either since the old mind raper might pick it off his mind.' Nick thought with a sigh. "I'm no master but I know a little about the craft." he told Harry honestly.-

Nick was totally unaware that he had basically just kicked Ronald Weasley out of his spot as Harry's bestest friend before he even got it! What he did know was that Dudley was bound to report this to his parents who would try and cause problems for Harry or even Nick himself. He sighed at this knowledge since he had only just made Harry's life a little harder but he couldn't help himself as he can't stand bullies. In his previous life he himself had been the subject of attack by bullies due to his intelligence and it showed in his borderline antisocial personality.
