It was October and the ground was chill and cold. I'm gonna be honest, I hate winter. Every other season I'm fine with. But winter can go suck a D***.
Anyway, where was I. Right, October was here and was heading down to the great hall for some food with harry when we noticed Nick mumbling to himself like that Izuku kid from an anime that I watch.
"Hello, Nick!" Said Harry and waved. Nick straightened.
"Oh hello Harry, Voidic. Hmm... Harry, you look troubled." Nick tilted his head slightly.
"So do you." Harry counters. Nick looks sheepish as he puts his hand into his clothes and pulls out a letter. He hands it to us, but it falls through my hand and onto the floor. "Oh, whoops, sorry." He bends down to pick it up.
"Hold on." I say as I get an idea. I focus and coat my hand in void energy. I then manage to pick up the letter. "Huh, didn't know that would work. Pretty cool." I say as I open up the letter and begin to read. "Dear Sir Nicholas Blah blah blah blah, useless words here and there. AH! We can only accept hunstmen whose heads have parted company with their bodies. You will appreciate that it would be impossible otherwise for members to participate in hunt activities such as Horseback Head-Juggling and Head polo. It is with greatest regret, therefore, that i must inform you that you do not fulfil our requirements. With very best wishes, Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore." I finished and looked at Nick. "You do know, it wouldn't be too hard for you to pull your head off your shoulders yourself you know?"
Nick looked even more sheepish as he explained. "I.. Um, tried that a long time ago. But my head just reattached itself soon after. It seems that I would need someone else to do it for me."
"Hey, wait. Voidic, didn't you just pick up that ghost letter off the floor with void energy? Can't you take Nick's head off?" I blinked and thought about it.
"Maybe. Let's try it." I say as Nick excitedly floats down to me. I grab Nick's head with my hands coated and feet as well. I begin to pull, but it was stubborn. I jumped up and planted my feet on nick's shoulders and finally managed to take Nick's head off with a sickening SQUELCH!
I toppled off of Nick and landed on my ass. I got up and heard Nick and Harry cheering. I blinked and looked at my hands. Yep. I was still holding his head. I looked at Nick's body and it was still floating. In fact, it seemed to be dancing around.
"YES!!!!" Nick was cheering loudly in my hands. I quickly put it back on his body. Nick took his own head off and turn it around in his hands. "Whoa, this is quite odd. But I'm gonna have to get used to it. Thank you Voidic! Thank you so much! I would like to invite you and Harry to my 500th Deathday Party this Hallow's Eve!" He said as he did a little jig in the middle of the hallway. "This will show Sir Properly Decapitated Podmore." He said venomously and happily. Quite an odd combination to hear in his voice.
"Sure. That'll give me a chance to figure out if I can help you ghost eat too." Nick straightened even more. His head's eyes alight with happiness.
"YES! You must come. Invite any you wish to bring with you. But please come. I'll be sure to have the house-elves make fresh food instead of the rotting stuff they usually make for us." He floats away quickly. Probably to make different arrangements, and he put his head back on and hid the now fresh cut on his neck. Again, probably to surprise everybody at the party. Harry and I looked at each other and began chuckling. Once we were back in the great hall. We told Hermione and ron about everything that happened.
"A Deathday party? That sounds fascinating. You have to bring us with you!" Hermione said almost as excited as nick.
"Why would anybody wanto to celebrate the day they died? Sounds depressing."
"That's true, But ghost have to have entertainment too you know. And they don't have half of the stuff the people who are alive do." I answered ron.
"huh. I guess that's true. Never thought of that. I guess that's why the ghoul always bangs on the pipes at home when it gets too quiet."
"Probably." Harry nodded as he began to eat.
Soon, It was Hallow's Eve. And we were headed down to the dungeons and we walked in to see all the ghost looking at us eagerly. At me, eagerly. I blink and realized that Nick must have told everyone that they might be able to finally eat after so long.
"Uh, hi everyone. I guess your looking forward to some food?" I asked as everyone cheered. I walked up to the food and focussed all my void energy. Instead of bringing out a power. I forced out pure void energy to surround the table and penetrate everything. Effectively making it dead and alive at the same time. The ghost quickly came down and tentatively touch the food. When they realize they don't phase through it, they grab some and try to eat it. They all straighten up and began to devour the table.
"HA HA! Everyone give a cheer for the saviour of the party! Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray!" Nick cheered as everyone joined in while eating all the food at the table.
