Chapter 22: Diagon alley

*Cough* "I maybe noticed magic quite awhile ago." Nick looked away sheepishly and grimaced when he heard Harry groan. "Figures , why didn't you say anything?" Harry asked sounding slightly hurt. Nick sighed "Do you have any idea *cough* how I'd sound if I just*cough* said that I knew about magic?" he answered Harry with another question. "Barmy." Harry said with a sigh. Nick nodded "I did *cough cough* find the books on accident though." he said honestly. "So this entire time we've just been studying?" The boy glared at the books like they had betrayed him.-

Nick tried to laugh but had to stop when he got caught in a coughing fit instead ending that conversation there. Harry didn't really mind Nick keeping magic a secret from him since he could understand how crazy he would seen if he told him. What did bother Harry however was that it still felt like Nick was hiding something , but his intuition told him it had nothing to do with him and so he ignored it. Soon the day of Harry's birthday came and much like he had said Nick recovered and was fine again even if He looked terrible for the whole week.-

It was odd to Harry as literally the day before Nick was looking like death warmed over and now he was totally fine. He was very tempted to say it was magic but until he actually knew what he was talking about he'd hold judgement. Harry couldn't help but be a bit jealous of Nick when they were getting dressed since his friend had the beginnings of a six pack forming on his stomach. Nick was very lean but only those with keen eyes would notice the slight hints of muscular definition on his frame thanks to all the forging he has been doing.-

The other building was recognized mostly because of the many birds in the windows as well as the huge hanging sign that had it's name on it. Nick got chills from the building however as ever single owl in the windows had their eyes locked on him. not in the sort of way that one would stare at food but rather royalty. 'I know it was stated that the birds were tied to magic but I need to stay away from them because they might oust my magical circuits at this rate.' Nick thought nervously. He very much doubted that only the birds in the window had all turned to stare at his direction.
