Drabble a day - 5 - Nearly Headless Nick, Founders (gen) - from Terminus
This summer at Terminus, I managed to write 3 drabbles, and I never got around to posting them. I also need to dig out the ones I did for Prophecy last year (for that one, I spent a whole day at the drabble booths!).
Title: Arrival Rating: PG Word Count: 100 Prompt: Nearly Headless Nick (Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington), The Founders, Happy Summary: The four Founders of Hogwarts are interrupted.
The esteemed four Founders of The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry looked on in displeasure at the nearly headless ghost floating in front of them in the Great Hall. Displeasure quickly changed to horror as he bowed, tipping his head as though it were a hat.
“Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington, at your service,” the ghost said, still holding the top of his head.
A few awkward moments passed in silence, then Godric laughed. The others shrugged and continued discussing the enchantments on the ceiling. After all, a ghost or two would probably make some of the children happy.
