This request caught Nick off guard but was fairly easy to fulfill so he simply nodded. "Give me a bit of time and I should be able to get another hammer to you , consider it an early christmas gift." he said and the old man smiled happily. While Nick may not like the old man he was also aware that having him at his back was worth doing since after the mana concentration increases he will likely quickly grow more powerful. Nick wasn't stupid enough to think that someone like Dumbledore was unaware of how to take that step to the next rank.-

A rank five wizard on his side will come in handy at the early stages of the worlds recovery when the gods haven't been unsealed yet. After that though Nick doubted that the old man was going to survive very long at all. Dumbledore was not the sort of person to shy away from a fight with a tyrannical powerhouse and as a result would likely confront Zeus which definitely won't end well for the old goat. There was no way in hell that Zeus wasn't flat out BAD news for the world on a scale that the likes of Voldemort could only have wet dreams about.-

Nick wasn't sure how Grindelwald would play out the future though since the only thing he knew about was the flooding the planet in mana plan but the rest was totally blank. "We have gotten off topic it seems." Dumbledore said with a chuckle. "Yes we have , speaking of what is it I can help you with today?" Nick asked curiously since he couldn't think of a reason for the old mans visit. "I have received a rather interesting opportunity that I felt you may appreciate given your unique situation." Dumbledore said mysteriously.-

"Which part of my situation exactly?" Nick asked while trying to figure out what the opportunity the old man may be talking about was. He couldn't help but curse at how little the world beyond Harry was explained in the books as he drew a blank. The real magical world was many many times more complicated and detailed than the stuff mentioned in the books to the point of even being misleading. Sure the real thing was way more magical than portrayed but it was also a million times more dangerous as well.-

"To be specific I am referring to your familiar in this case. You see every year Beauxbatons academy of magic hosts a competition of sorts with grand prizes to the top three." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes that confused Nick. "What does that have to do with Nazgul?" he asked interested. "Everything my boy , you see the competition is a magical beast beauty pageant that the school uses to inspire the fashion industry in France. It also doubles as a good way to introduce new magical creatures to the world safely." the old goat said with a smirk that Nick shared after seeing the benefits this could bring him.-

It was hard to ignore the fact that despite being registered in the ministry Nazgul , who was a ringbeast(A/N: That's what I'm calling the species) , was a huge unknown to the rest of the world and might cause him problems when he travels about in the future. The trafficking of magical beasts was a seriously regulated and stern matter. If some mistake was made during the paperwork needed to travel to other places he would be looking at a very hefty fine or even imprisonment while Nazgul was detained or flat out executed.-

This beauty pageant would be the perfect way to introduce Nazgul to the wider world so that this problem wouldn't likely happen. "I assume that this pageant is coming up soon since you are here now?" he asked and Dumbledore nodded "It begins on the eleventh in fact. I wanted to see if you were interested so I could apply for a travel permit for you to the event as that will take a couple days and it is in four days." He explained honestly. "I am indeed quite interested in participating to see what sort of clothes she inspires if nothing else." Nick said with a grin.-

Dumbledore was already prepared for Nick to show interest in the event and brought the paperwork with him. Nick carefully read through the stuff before signing anything which Dumbledore could only sigh at. 'Broken trust is really hard to fix with him.' the old man thought as he left to get all this stuff filed away at the ministry. Nick meanwhile took out the diagram for the ritual of breath to look it over. There weren't many changes from the original but there were a few bits that had been modified.
