Distinctly ruffled
Our tale begins in one of the many corridors of Hogwarts. Nicolas has been visiting Professor Dumbledore and is on his way out of the castle with a very serious frown on his face.
To his surprise, as he was walking along, a familiar voice said, "Ah, Mr. Nicolas Flamel, a pleasure to see you again."
Nicolas halted and smiled slightly when he spotted the source of the voice. It was Nick. "I wish it were under better circumstances, my dear friend."
Nick asked, "What's wrong?"
Nicolas muttered, "Troubling times are ahead... Talk of He Who Shall Not Be Named."
Nick frowned. "Hm, yes. I have heard about that actually. What, if I may ask, has that got to do with you?"
Nicolas stated, "Ah, everything and nothing, my dear man... Everything and nothing."
Nick replied, "Well, don't be a stranger."
Nicolas told him, "This place holds certain... memories for me. I'm not sure if I will ever want to walk within its walls again."
Nick nodded. "Very well then, but do pay me a visit should you change your mind. Intelligent conversations like ours are very hard to come by these days, my dear chap."
