"Welcome to my home Nick! Please make yourself comfortable while we wait for Harry to get ready to go!" Sirius said in a friendly manner while motioning to the nearby armchairs. "It seems my gift has done you quite a bit of good." Nick commented while sitting down. "Ah yes , I can't thank you enough for that little trinket as I was sick of those damn potions!" Sirius said with a disgusted look at the mention of the potions. "I had thought as much when I made it so I am glad it served it's purpose well." Nick said honestly.-

"So what all is on this island of yours?" Sirius asked curiously. "Well there is Ravenclaw manor of course which is already pretty interesting in and of itself but the best part of the island is easily the rest of the land. Old trees and powerful rare beasts cover the whole island , I even have a manticore living there." Nick said with a grin. "Sounds like we won't be bored at least if the place is half as interesting as you say." Sirius said with a smile. "Yeah if you are lucky I might even finish making the next big magical sport while you are all there." Nick said with smirk.-

"Oh? What sort of sport is it?" Sirius asked intrigued. "Do you know soccer?" Nick asked and Sirius looked confused "The muggle sport?" he asked while giving Nick a funny look. "Yep so the sport is very similar to that except it is held underwater and the use of hands is allowed. The basics of the game are that there are a total of six members on each team and you are trying to get the most points by the end of the timer by kicking the ball into the opponents goal."-

"It's called blitzball and I think it will be quite popular once I hold a few games in Hogwarts." Nick said with a smile. Sirius closed his eyes to imagine what Nick described and smiled widely. "That sounds wicked fun if you can solve the water breathing problem." he said eagerly. This was the moment that Harry shows up from upstairs dressed and with a small leather bag at his waist that Nick recognized as an expanded space bag. 'It's good to see that Sirius is treating him good , hard to tell how some will do with the responsibility of a child after all.' he thought relieved.-

He hadn't thought that Sirius was abusing Harry or anything like that but he wasn't sure exactly how Sirius was doing as Harrys guardian since there was quite a lot of responsibility involved after all on top of his lordship. "You got everything you'll need for the next month?" Nick asked and Harry nodded. "Yeah we are ready when you are!" He said with an excited grin. Nick placed them both in the realm and put on his coat before calling Dotty to take him to his next stop , Hermiones house.-

It came as no surprise to him that her families house was in a well to do neighborhood considering her parents owned and operated a successful dentistry office. Despite not being the most glorious job like that of a doctor or surgeon dentist was a profession that took money to get into much less own your own business with. Hermione wasn't swimming in money but she had a very comfortable living environment. She was ready to go the moment Nick arrived and he stored both her and her trunk in the realm after she said goodbye to her parents.-

The next stop for Nick was to pick up Daphne and Tracy who were at the same place in Greengrass manor at the outskirts of little Hangleton. Greengrass manor was an impressive sight for Nick if an uncomfortable one as it was a large early victorian manor that was positively covered in valuable and dangerous plants both muggle and magical. There was even what Nick recognized as manchineel trees on either side of the gates to the manor grounds. 'That is certainly one way to dissuade unwanted visitors.' he thought as he pressed the magical equivalent of a buzzer next to the gate.-

It did not take long at all for the gate to magically swing open and a small green clothed house elf to appear to lead him and Dotty to the manor. Nick had asked Dotty to wait near him when he came to pick up everyone since it would be annoying to have to call it back moments after it vanished. Nick gave all the plants a wide berth since him and them don't mix well at all. Nick wiped his shoes on the doormat as was polite before entering the manor all while vigilant of the wards that surrounded him.
