Chapter 60: Dumbledore's interest

Nick packed up the book and headed for dinner since he didn't feel like skipping out on the delicious food. For him it was a normal meal but for the teachers is was an odd situation as Dumbledore questioned the teachers who had Nick in class today how he fared. Madam Hooch and professor Sinistra both explained their observations of him with Madam Hooch in particular mentioning that he showed an extraordinary talent in flying. She cited each of the unusual instances involving the broom that he had including how it malfunctioned in such a manner as to break Malfoys nose.-

Dumbledore was surprised to hear this and remembered the unusual wand Nick possessed and it's core and wondered if that may be the reason for this particular incident. The old man had no doubts about Nicks talent as he had proven it over and over again but it was hard to pin down his personality without probing his mind for details. So far Nick had proven to be both cunning and loyal but he had also shown a sharp temper as well with vicious mockery and rule exploitation to get his way.-

The headmaster had always seen the events from an outside perspective through the minds of those involved but he was willing to admit a heavy reluctance to try and probe the boys mind again after the events of the previous attempt. Dumbledore had trouble sleeping for weeks after that incident as he was haunted by the scenes shown to him. There was one person however at the professors table who was cursing mentally at all the attention Nick was getting , Voldemort. Originally he had assumed that Dumbledore was only interested in Nick to keep the boy from following his own path but at this point he realized that was only part of the truth.-

One such person did indeed show up in the form of a Bushy haired brunette who looked very unhappy to see him. She couldn't leave however as curfew wasn't over until seven when breakfast started so she had to sit in the common room angrily. She did try to see what he was reading but Nick was having none of that since she was rather irritatingly competitive and might try and figure out what language it was written in. That would be understandably bad for Nick and as a result he simply refused to let her see what he was reading.
