“And so…because of that strip of skin, I can’t participate in the Headless Hunt…”

The voice of one Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington, resident ghost of Gryffindor House, could be heard regaling the newest bunch of young lions of his woes. Minerva herself remembered the first time she had heard the tale herself. Just a few years before when she was a first year.

It was sad really.

If only a wizard had been around then to finish the job correctly. Just one simple spell, taught to every Hogwarts student, discreetly cast upon his neck. Then he would be Headless Nick instead of Nearly Headless Nick. And able to participate in the festivities he longed for…even in the afterlife.

Minerva shook her head pushing it aside as she took a sip of her pumpkin juice waiting for the Halloween feast to begin. She should be having fun herself after all, not worrying about a deceased knight and his death-day plans.
