After ironing out all of the questions that there were in regards to vampires Mina was accepted into the group without issue. Things got much more relaxed after that as she stopped bothering Nick and focused her attention on the other members of the group instead. Luna had also accepted Nicks invitation to the ball and the mere fact he had asked her had gotten him several teases from his fiends but he had expected it to begin with and was unbothered. Nick had noticed something concerning however that he could see becoming a problem later.-
His pride had mutated after becoming a fully daedric being and he couldn't help but feel an instinctual disdain for the people around him. He kept it under control but it was clear that his elevated state wasn't entirely positive for him. It was not an issue at the moment as he had his friends and people like Dumbledore and Nicolas Flammel to keep him grounded but eventually most of those would crumble and fade or cease to anchor him. Thankfully Nick was fairly certain that that was a far into the future sort of issue.-
Two days before christmas Nick finally completed the chamber for Beauxbatons and it was a thing of marvel for him. So realistic and varied that the inside could easily pass for the real deal regardless of which environment or enemy one would face. His favorite part though was that he added an adaptation feature to the chamber and golems so that it was no longer a one size fits all type thing. Like if someone discovered a loophole in a scenario and exploited it the chamber and golems would change the scenario slightly to punish the next person if they tried to repeat the exploit.-
"It is magnificent Nick!" Madam Maxime said after trying the chamber out herself. "If I am being honest I almost don't want to give it up." Nick admitted. "That just means that it's as good as I had hoped for then." she said with a wide smile. "I am happy you like it and please do have a good evening. " he said before leaving since his schedule had finally opened up a bit. This meant that he now had the time to focus exclusively on copying the library books and emptying out the room of hidden things.-
Speaking of that room Nick had found some strange things in that place as he fed his realm the vast majority of it. A whole mummy , a can filled with human teeth , a leprechauns big toe on a string and several other unusual or flat out weird objects that boggled the mind. In terms of cursed items Nick was disgusted to find that after getting about ten percent through the rooms contents he had hundreds of unique curses recorded. Most were fairly harmless but others were totally messed up like ruin someone's life messed up.-
He wasn't even sure how but someone had trapped the maldictus curse in a small brightly colored orb that was set to infect the person who touched it. Nick took great pleasure destroying the horrible object by feeding it to his realm that was growing greatly. Not physically as there was not enough in the room to cause much change in the size of the planet in the realm but rather magically. The one leyline that the realm had from the cores integration had tripled into three thanks to all the pure magic that came from breaking down the curses with the realm.-
In a not so surprising twist the realm was uniquely suited for handling curses which Nick was willing to bet heavily was due to the realms daedric nature. In Nirn Daedra were infamous for their curses so it made perfect sense that the affinity for them was a part of their race. Nick himself likely also had a great affinity for curses but refused to cast them due to the corruptive effects of such dark magic. In this regard he was a bit unique in terms of daedra as unlike nearly all of them that couldn't be corrupted by dark magic because they themselves were innately dark magic oriented he was the exact opposite as he was light magic oriented instead.-
In a way he was smack dab in the middle between an aedra and a daedra with him leaning towards daedra due to how he became this way. Anyways more leylines meant that the concentration of mana in the air of the realm was even greater. it wasn't quite at the same level as Hogwarts at the moment but it was fast approaching that point. Late into the night of this day Dotty finally completed their evolution and the changes were drastic.
The first thing Nick noticed was that Dotty had grown taller , nearly double their original height in fact. In addition to that their body had filled out to more human like proportions while their face had become less wrinkled and more human like. At the top of Dottys forehead two small nub looking horns stuck out as well. The most off putting change however was the eyes that had changed to have black sclera and slit pupils like a serpent. "How do you feel?" Nick asked his servant when they appeared in front of him at Hogwarts.-
"Incredible sir. Like this one was but a slug before and now stands as a wolf!" Dotty said with a wide smile. "That is good , I hadn't expected that my own transformation would effect you as well and I apologize for any discomfort you may have experienced as a result." Nick said honestly. "My lord need not apologize to this lowly one. It is Dottys privilege to serve one so grand as you." it said with a deep bow. Nick easily spotted that the thought process of his servant had taken a qualitative step forward from the simplistic nature of house elves and was more like that of a normal persons.-
In addition to this there was another metaphysical change in the form of Dottys essence and power. To even call Dotty a house elf would be a massive error as on a evolutionary scale it was now much higher up. Dottys essence had also become daedric in nature with a clear tie to the realm much like Nick himself and as a daedra the servants power had undergone an earthshattering transformation. If before it was a match flame it was now a raging bonfire that could threaten most people.-
The magical power of magical creatures like Goblins and house elves was generally more powerful than a wizards but far from efficient as they had no focus for it. Now though Dottys power required no focus much like how Nick himself no longer needed one. That was just the sort of creatures daedra were , their bodies were more than adequate to serve the same function. What this meant was that now Dotty could perform much greater feats of magic than before and as such was a force to be reckoned with.-
The way that house elves used magic was different than the way wizards did so most of the time the defenses that were set up against other wizards simply failed against house elves. Dotty like most house elves was a tier three being but with this transformation it was not impossible for even Dumbledore to be given a run for his money against them. Besides all else however Dotty was a servant and as such will not act in any way that might inconvenience Nick , at least not intentionally. "Return to the manor and practice with your new power so we can understand your limits better." Nick said after noticing that people were starting to stare.-
"As you command my lord." Dotty said before disappearing like mist much to the astonishment of those watching. To them it must have appeared as though a first year was talking with Nick at first but the longer they looked the more the details were off. Add to that the fact that Dotty apparated away in a place well know to be impossible to do so in and the shock was not surprising at all. Nick knew that the information would get around eventually but he didn't really care since he could handle the blowback for it.-
'Now that I think about it calling Dotty a house elf is no longer correct but what should this new race be called then?' Nick pondered seriously. 'Perhaps Hildra from the Aldmeri language word for servant and the Daedra? Yes I think that will be a perfect name , the Hildra. A new race of daedra exclusive to my realm.' Nick thought pleased with the name he had chosen. There was nothing else worth noting in the next two days and soon enough it was the day of christmas itself.-
Nick woke up nice and early as per his usual and saw the ungodly amount of gifts he had at the foot and sides of his bed just like last year. More than a few of them had letters attached too which was annoying to say the least. Once again most of the gifts were from people that had attended the blitzball tournament over the summer who were fans of it and wanted to show their appreciation for him creating the sport. Few of these came with letters thankfully. 'More stuff to add to the collection I guess.' Nick thought with a shrug as he carefully stored away the stuff that the various players and teams of the sport had sent to him with their signatures on it.
