Chapter 242: Change in plans

To say that he was shocked by this was an understatement as he gapped at the sight. It was only after paying an extra ring that he learned that this was actually a bloodline ability supposedly inherited from Oceanus. Literally every member of the merfolk was capable of it and in fact it was considered a tradition to master the power to the greatest extent each individual was capable. Nick burst into uproarious laughter when he heard this as if the pureblooded wizards had done the same then they wouldn't be the near worthless wizards they are.-

Bloodline abilities aren't a joke in the advantage they give a wizard regardless of talent. The biggest example of this is how easy it is for even Luna who had a watered down version of Nick's magical senses to learn new magic. Being able to literally see what the correct form of a spell was after a demonstration was a massive advantage. Then there was Snape who had what was known as the hags gift which let him easily master any potion recipe he learned as well as improve it. This made him nearly unrivaled in the field with what he may see as little effort.-

This was made easy when a huge horse-like creature with greenish coloration and long kelp like fins and mane approached him curiously. "A Kelpie huh? I knew there was a couple of you in here but you are usually quite shy." he said with a smile as the creature smelled and examined him curiously. Eventually it was satisfied with it's examination and pushed it's head against his chest seeking affection. Nick was more than happy to rub it's neck and scratch it under the chin.-

Happy at the attention the kelpie flipped Nick over it's neck and onto it's back forcing him to hold on tightly as it took off through the water. It was an exhilarating feeling to feel the water flow over the skin and watch as the surroundings zip by. 'Clearly this kelpie has done this before.' he thought as the beast surfaced and swam rapidly in full view of the students outside with Nick on it's back. Nick was slightly surprised to see that his friends were at the boathouse with Hagrid who was whistling. It didn't take long for the kelpie he was on to start making a beeline for the half giant across the waters surface.-

Hagrid and all of his friends also saw him on the beasts back and were stunned as the kelpie slowed down before swimming into the boat house. "Afternoon everyone." Nick said with a grin. "I'm so jealous!" Tracy exclaimed angrily as Nick slid off the side of the kelpie and onto the dock. ""Agreed!"" Luna , Daphne and surprisingly Ron said at the same time. Nick laughed "It came to me and offered a ride , what was I supposed to say , no?" he said with a shrug. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
