Theodore floated through the door of Professor Hendrik's office, "Headmaster, I just wanted to stop by and thank you again for allowing me to be the new House Ghost for my old house, Gruffindor. I realize that I can no longer enjoy the feelings of winning the Cup for our house but, by being their House Ghost and cheering them on, I will be enlightened a bit and I guess that will have to do."
He played with the snitch he was still carrying in his hand from the last match he played where he met his demise, " I mean, unless they start letting us ghosts play, I fear I will never hear the roar of the crowd, smell the raw scent of the freshly cut grass along the pitch, feel the surge of excitment at reaching out and closing my hand around the fleeting wings of this, to win the cup......." his voice trailed off in sadness.
"But again I do thank you for letting me stay here, I've met some wonderful students already this year and think that Gryffindor will give the other houses a run for the Cup again."
Theodore moved towards the wall and added, "if you ever had need of me please call on me and I will assist you in any way possible .....and, good day Headmaster" and he disappeared through the stone.
