Chapter 253: A friendly warning
The fat friar got the first shift with the ring much to nearly headless Nick's disappointment. All the ghost save for Helena were chased out of the workshop after that since Nick wanted to get the rings done as soon as possible. It honestly wouldn't take very long all things considered as he merely needed until a bit before dinner to finish making them. If it wasn't for the fact that the crafting style took awhile to slowly fill the entire vessel he could be done much faster. Still Nick turned on the furnace to warm it up and started to prepare the mithril for the fire.-
First he switched the furnace to cold fire and sent in an ingot of the stuff to melt it in the flames. Once done he funneled the liquid metal into the molds and waited for it to solidify. The remainder was set in an ingot mold to create a smaller but still usable ingot. It took about half an hour for the metal in the ring molds to solidify enough to be enchanted. Removing the first ring from the mold and setting it on the anvil Nick took out his hammer and got to work enchanting the ring.-
Taking one of his body enhancement potions out of Greed he drank it and felt the warmth of his muscles improving by a small amount in a short period of time. He was still growing thanks to his young age so his current impressive physique was actually just the foundation for his future build. Unlike him though the muscles that Fred and George had from using the potion themselves were mostly superficial. Sure they were stronger than if they hadn't used the potion but they had prioritized appearance over function unlike Nick so while they also had strong physiques it was mostly just for show.-
The two ghosts waiting outside slightly impatiently were thrilled when Nick walked out of the workshop and tossed them both a ring each while confiscating the original Nazfea ring from nearly headless Nick. After that he headed to the great hall to eat dinner but was stopped by Dumbledore in the hallway. "I feel as though you should be warned that Cornelius will be arriving at Hogwarts tomorrow alongside a reporter from the daily prophet to interview you about your "resurrected ghost rings" as the students have taken to calling them." the old man said seriously.-
Nick nodded not surprised at all "I expected as much given the man's usual way of doing things. An event such as this is far too important for him to miss after all. That said I appreciate the warning none the less." he said politely before continuing his walk to the great hall. Dumbledore chose not to look a gift horse in the mouth and silently accept the small amount of improvement in opinion he got for this warning. Changing someone as stubborn as Nicks mind about someone was a slow and arduous process and he knew this and was more than happy to tread that path.
