Chapter 164: Unforeseen options

Much like he had been told Mcgonagall had indeed given him a list of applicants for the apprenticeship program. Contrary to what most would guess this list wasn't a made to order thing where people could apply to mentor a specific student after learning who they were. In truth at the start of every year the ministry briefly accepts the applications of people who wanted to mentor a student over the summer for whatever reason. Most of the applicants were people who needed an extra set of hands over the summer or were searching for someone to inherit their business as they lacked any family to fill the role.-

The list Nick received showed this perfectly as it listed the persons name as well as their reason for applying to mentor a student. He quickly noticed four names on the list however that were different than the others as next to the name there was a mark in the shape of a star. After asking Mcgonagall about what this meant he learned that it was a mark of exception to show that those people had specifically asked for him by name to be mentored by them.-

These people were , Garrick Olivander , Remus Lupin , Cornelius Fudge and most surprisingly of all Albus Percival Wulforth Brian Dumbledore. Helena was laughed loudly when she saw this list as it was so full of political maneuvering that it could not be any more obvious. Remus Lupin was definitely on this list on behalf of Dumbledore to spy on Nick over the summer and while he would probably teach Nick seriously as well it didn't change the fact he would be spying on Nick. Dumbledore himself being on the list came as a great surprise but Nick was sure that it definitely wouldn't end very well if he took that option.-

Nick spent most of this month hanging out with his friends while fulfilling the last minute orders he had. Malfoy was insufferable for a few days after Nick turned over the shiny gold and silver playmaker ring with the emerald to him. But according to Daphne one of the graduating upperclassmen in Slytherin had taken the boy aside and gave him a stern lecture on not bragging overly much as it shown badly on their house which made Malfoy tone it down a bit.
