Nick placed most of the segnts to the side to work on later before grabbing one of them and using a steel punch to create a hole in the middle of it. He then began to widen the hole while also making sure to round the edges of the ring which in the end left him with a plain iron band that was dull grey and unremarkable. Nick repeated this process with all of the rest of the segnts leaving him with ten plain looking iron rings. He quickly checked them for any cracks or faults but after finding none he moved on to the next part of the process.-
Locking the door to the workshop he took a deep breath and began to glow the bright white like normal though this ti there was the slightest tinge of gold in the glow , not that anyone realized at that mont. The glow faded sowhat as it beca focused entirely on his hand and hamr before he began to strike each of the rings sending a loud hum through the room. Unlike the twins rings these weren't going to be linked together but were rather just being enchanted with the exact sa enchantnt at the sa ti.-
This was obviously extrely energy and ti intensive however it was less than adding multiple powerful effects to a single ring which was the only reason he attempted it. It took him until around seven hours to complete the forge making him miss dinner entirely. It was around 8:45 when he finished and rather than go to the common room and risk Filch catching him he simply transfigured the floor into a soft cotton giant pillow and went to sleep on it. Steve wasted no ti at all cuddling up next to him as well and the night passed peacefully.-
In the Morning Nick yawned and stretched as he stood up off the floor that had returned to normal soti while he was asleep. He wasn't sore from sleeping on the floor thanks to the fact his body was quite sturdy. Still he made sure to fully work his limbs and back to prevent any hidden cramps from showing up and ssing with him. He then grabbed the rings he had simply left on the anvil over night and check them with the system.-
[RING NA: Ring of protection
Grade: COMMON
Abilities: Autosizing , Sacrificial defense
Description: A plain iron ring created with an inbuilt shield charm that is overpowered in exchange for cost the ring it's on use.
System appraisal: A good single use protective item created by an up and coming ring smith.]
Each of the rings had an appraisal exactly like this with no differences at all which proved that Nick had succeeded in creating a mass produced product. Obviously ten at a ti would prove to be insufficient in the face of the around one hundred students in the castle who regularly use or get magic used on them. In fact Nick will need a stockpile of about double or triple that amount for what he had in mind. Still there was an up coming holiday and the free ti after classes to make more and more of the rings.-
If he made ten more rings everyday then it would take around twenty days for him to stockpile two hundred of the things. 'Obviously not everyone will buy one but I expect at least sixty or so people to place orders and maybe twenty to order more than one ring at once. At ten sickles a piece that's about thirty six galleons roughly.' Nick thought seriously. He knew that he wasn't doing this for money but the low amount of profit for his effort stung a bit. 'It'll pay off in the end , probably.' he thought hopefully as he left the workshop with Steve to start his day with breakfast.-
"Where'd you go yesterday Nick?" Harry asked curiously when he sat down next to Nick. "Got caught up in a project of mine and lost track of ti , slept in the workshop with Steve here." Nick said casually while handing the Niffler in question a sausage which it greedily devoured. Contrary to what it's cute appearance may lead one to believe Nifflers were omnivores and ate pretty much anything except mint which they hated for so reason. Hermione looked a bit jealous at the interaction but kept it to her self minus a small pout.-
Ron joked about how Steve was the perfect pet for Nick as it was just as much of a glutton as he was. Nick laughed at this and rely stated that he was bulking up but none of them had any idea what he ant so the joke fell flat. After breakfast it was potions class and Steve needed to make himself scarce during that ti as Snape didn't find it amusing at all when the niffler stole a silver sickle from Malfoy last ti and got caught. Nick didn't get detentions but did lose Gryffindor thirty points and had to let Steve spend a day as the man's guinee pig , Steve refused to go anywhere near Snape's class after that.
