Chapter 209: I'm a professional

An interesting thing about the veritological license was that it was split between different levels based on skill with the rating one got for each level displayed. The levels were called stars and were represented on the license as such with ten stars being the highest. Olivander was one of the few people to have the honor of being a ten star wand maker. Each star was further separated based on the grading system that Hogwarts used but the failing grades were only included past the first star. These grades from lowest to highest were T(troll) , D(dreadful) , P(poor) , A(acceptable) , E(exceeds expectations) and O(outstanding).-

Olivander was a ten star O ranked veritologist and at the end of the test Nick received a metal badge with two stars on it and a large O in the first star and an A in the second. "It means your skill was enough to place you a single rank above novice." Olivander explained when Nick asked about it. This surprised Nick as he had assumed that this was the bare minimum skill to qualify for a license but apparently not.-

Olivander chuckled when he saw Nick's astonishment "To be honest I actually held you back from taking the test until you reached this point to preserve my own reputation. After all I am the world premier wand crafter so any student of mine even one for a few months needs to be extraordinary." he said honestly. Nick could understand this as it made plenty of sense if you thought about it. Olivander had rarely ever taught another person and was the single most renowned wandmaker in the world so if his students weren't at a certain level when they were tested it would state that he was not nearly as skilled as a teacher lessening his reputation.-

This show of authenticity let them relax considerably and Nick could only glare at Helena who was snickering to herself in the corner while pampering Steve who Nick could swear had gained weight. At least Dusk had Nicks back or in this case shoulder in his full large rooster sized glory. Nick almost wanted to burn his license by the end of the week though as he long since lost track of how many times he had said that line while showing his credentials. Things got awkward on saturday however when the Weasleys entered the shop to get Ginny Weasley the only daughter of the family her wand.
