It was funny how no one seemed to question the strange new magical creature that flew around the castle in the morning everyday or how Nick seemed to suddenly be able to teleport when he was out of sight. The only ones actually aware of the situation was the staff of the school and they had been keeping it quiet just like with Lupins new state. Nick had been very pleased with his Animagus form all things considered as it felt natural to him and even gave him a few new abilities while in it.-
The deal with Fudge and the ministry regarding Blitzball was also starting to create a heavy inflow of money into his account at Gringotts from all the international deals that went through and money being spent on the sport globally. It was sporadic at first but as things went into full swing globally with promotions , merchandise and construction cost for the fields all started to steadily flow a stupid amount of money into his account. Nick only made about two knuts to a galleon but when that was applied at a global scale he was making hundreds of galleons every single day at this point.-
Nick was nowhere near the most rich person in the country but in about three years he predicted he would be at least close to having that amount of money. The only real stress that Nick had at the moment was the ever approaching arrival of zeus and this new magic eating abomination in the form of Bellatrix Lestrange at peak health and beauty. Oh yes the ritual fully restored her body to it's most perfect state which in addition to the fact she was actually very attractive naturally meant the creature was much like the vibrantly colored animals in the wild , pretty to look at but lethal to mess with.-
Still Nick wasn't all that interested in such things despite his own teenage body starting to cause him problems in that regard. While everyone else in his year was also hitting growth spurts and taking interest in the opposite sex he had to deal with additional issues. For example the fact that four out of six of his friends were female and his sensitive elven senses bluntly told him when they started their cycles. It was distracting to say the least for him to constantly have to ignore his biological instincts in this regard.-
He flew for an hour or so until it was time to head over to the blitzball field for the game that was set right after breakfast. He made sure no one was around before changing back to his normal form and finding a seat in the bleachers. While he waited Nick waved his wand and caused the ice and snow on the seats to evaporate before the other students started to arrive. "When'd you get here?" Anthony Goldstein asked in confusion after being the second person to get to the bleachers.-
"A few minutes ago , even had time to clear off the frost from the rest of the seats while I waited." Nick said casually. Anthony looked around at that and found that indeed the seats were in fact totally clear of all snow and ice. "My in law said I shouldn't compare myself to you but you are really making the rest of us look bad with stuff like this." Anthony complained. "Oh? Who's your in law?" Nick asked curiously. "You don't know? I figured he would've mentioned it but then again he does get sorta focused when he is talking about magical beast." Anthony muttered.-
He shook his head "Newt Scamander is my great uncle in law through marriage. Married my grans cousin in fact." Anthony said proudly. "Ah! So you are related to Newt then , afraid he really never mentioned it during conversation." Nick said understanding the situation. Anthony was distantly related to Newt and probably had Newt tell him not to make comparisons during a family reunion of some sort. "It's fine I suppose since i told him we weren't friends or anything like that." Anthony said with a shrug.-
"Don't really have much reason to have been friends with the schedule that we had in the first year and all the stuff I had to deal with at the time. Hell I probably wouldn't even be friends with Luna if she wasn't as unique as she is." Nick said honestly. Anthony chuckled "Yeah that girl is something alright , did you know there's a bet going around about whether or not she is special like you or genuinely loony?" Anthony asked and Nick shook his head. "Sounds like the sort of thing a bunch of gossipy girls would do." He says with a scoff.
