Nick left after that with a wide smile while the twins got dressed and ready to go out. Ten minutes later the twins came down to the common room in their normal robes and Nick frowned. "First thing you need to know about working around fire ." he waved his wand and transfigured their clothes into larger but matching versions of his own "Never wear loose clothing that might get in the way or catch fire." he said seriously and the two of them nodded in understanding. It didn't take much imagination to figure out why that might be a bad idea.-

"So I take it you both had a pleasant nights sleep?" he asked with a grin and the twins chuckled. "You got us good we admit but know that we shall have our vengeance!" one of them said righteously and Nick laughed. "So long as you keep it out of my workshop I have no problem with that." he said before turning to leave the common room. The workshop was just a bit down the hall from the painting of the fat lady so it took no time at all to arrive.-

Nick unlocked the door and quickly looked over the room but found nothing out of place 'can't risk it' he thought as he used his magical sensitivity to double check the room this time finding an anomaly. It was a small thing attached to his furnace but the sinister tinge the magic held told him exactly what it's source was. 'Feeling threatened are we Voldemort?' Nick thought slightly amused at the pathetic attempt at sabotage that he pulled apart with a quick "finite incantatem" tuned to the hex itself. The things intended purpose was to cause his furnace to explode once a certain temperature was reached likely killing or crippling him in the process.-

Most of the metal was dropped carefully into one of the molds Nick had at the ready while a small amount around the size of his thumb was removed. "Once this gets cold enough that it mostly solidifies I will begin shaping it , any questions?" he said since he had time to kill. "Why did you choose this stuff instead of the really good stuff I can see over there?" one of the twins asked curiously. "Kinda seems like a waste to make a ring out of gold if it's only purpose is to ward off slugs." Nick said honestly.
