Nearly Headless Nick says that in order for a wizard to return as a ghost after dying, he has to be scared of death. Well, Voldemort certainly was, why else did he make those Horcruxes? So, he makes his ghostly appearance at Hogwarts.After epilogue.

The Ghost of Dark Lords Past

The Sorting ended as the last first year was sorted into Slytherin, and everyone clapped. Everyone in the Great Hall was starting to talk, the first years staring in awe at the enchanted ceiling and wondering what they were going to learn this year. Albus, James, Rose, and Hugo were no different- they too were talking about the upcoming year, after James congratulated his brother on becoming a Gryffindor and a true Potter.

Minerva McGonagall was still the Headmistress after the Battle of Hogwarts, and as she stood up, everyone fell silent. She opened her mouth to speak, but instead, something caught her eye and she looked at something behind the House tables in horror. Everyone turned in their seats to find out what was wrong, and the whispers started.

Like everyone else, Albus and the rest of the quartet turned around and saw what everyone was staring at. His heart skipped a beat.

There was a ghost by the doors, but not just the ordinary Hogwarts ghosts that roamed the castle. This was the ghost of the person who people told stories of, who scared this generation's parents. This was the ghost of a certain dark wizard who was defeated by the one and only Harry Potter. This was the ghost of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

The ghost of the infamous Dark Lord Voldemort.

Short, yes. But I dont care. Review, please? *gives readers irresistable puppy-dog look*

EDIT: THERE WILL BE MORE!
