Chapter 55: Future plans

Chapter 55: Future plans

Nick looked into this piece of information further and learned that one of the species that had been effected the most by wizards was actually Thestrals. Apparently a long time ago the skeletal horse creatures were not only not invisible to most people but even actively wanted to be seen. They actively showed up near those who were dying and would apparently cry out at the moment of that persons death before leaving. Many assumed that the creatures were literally capturing the souls of the recently dead causing the hunting of the species.- This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

The creatures then evolved over time to avoid people much better using the last remnant of their connection to death to hide from all but those who have seen and understood it. 'Well that explains the strange kinship I felt for the things. We are both connected to death in a probably quite literal way.' he thought with a sigh. Nick was under no delusion that permanently dying on his other version of earth hadn't affected his very essence in some way. Clearly something had plucked him out of the ether and sent him into this world with the system because such a complex thing doesn't just "suddenly" come into existence.-

'I kinda wish I knew what the thing expected from me though.' Nick thought with a sigh. He was about halfway through the book at this point and much to his amusement saw that Hermione actually woke up a little late today. From the tired look she had she clearly hadn't managed to get much sleep. 'Probably from constantly failing to use my version of the Lumos spell.' Nick reasoned easily enough. She glared at him when she saw him but left the common room for the great hall anyways. Harry woke up shortly after that and both of them headed to the great hall to get breakfast.-

After breakfast was the flying lessons with Slytherin and some stuff happened during it. Nick and Harry met up with Tracy and Daphne who complained at not getting much sleep because of that spell of Nick's. "You probably openly bragged at knowing how to cast it didn't you?" Nick asked causing both girls to go silent and look away. "Then don't complain to me about the consequences of your actions." he said and they looked embarrassed. "So how many people in your house figured it out yesterday?" he asked with a curious expression.
