Nearly Headless Nick's Story
Just a lovely little story about everyone's favorite ghost. Except mine, Moaning Myrtle is awesome! But seriously, this story has it all, Romance, Adventure, etc. and it will answer many great mysteries. Why does Sir Properly Decapitated-Podmore dislike Nick? Why was Nick hit 45 time in the neck with a blunt axe? And, greatest of them all, WHY IS THE BLOODY BARON COVERED IN BLOOD?
Disclaimer- I own everything but various HP characters that make appearances, and of course, I don't own Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington.
Chapter One The Demise of Sir Patrick De Laney-Podmore
Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington look up at the platform where the execution of Sir Patrick De Laney-Podmore was to take place.
"And high treason against the King!" shouted the Baron Von Ruben (a.k.a. the Bloody Baron), who's purpose in life was to read things people had done wrong, and other related matters, such as punishments.
The crowd let out a general BOO!
"The punishment, to be carried out immediately, BE-HEADING!" shrieked the Baron.
The crowd let out a general cheer.
In ragged clothes, a rather important looking man was dragged by two guards in front of the extremely rowdy crowd. They roared with disgust.
The man's head was placed on a rough block of wood and the guards held his head there, waiting for the Baron's order.
"Next, seeing as Sir Patrick was the top of our defenses, we will of course be needing one of our lesser knights to take his place, a knight who received similar training and education as Sir Patrick-"
Sir Nicholas fidgeted. His records would look identical to Sir Patrick's for a very simple reason. Both men had made almost everything up, to disguise their real identity. For, instead of being rewarded with honors, they would have been killed if their real training had been disclosed, for witchcraft was heavily frowned upon in the small area of England that they called their home. Both men had attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and had been trained in the noble art of knighthood by learning to be hit wizards. (A/N I'm guessing back then trained hit wizards would have been very similar to knights or a brute squad or something) So while they were well trained to be knights, they were not trained in the way their records said they were.
The Baron continued.
"So we have chosen Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington to take Sir Patrick's place among our head knights."
There was a wild round of applause as Sir Nicholas went forward, smiling sheepishly. He was a tall young man in his early 20s, with long curly hair pulled back in a ponytail, dressed in black, with a brilliant silver sword gleaming at his waist. There were many admiring looks from the females in the crowd as he strolled through. As he took his place on the platform that all the be-headings took place on, Sir Patrick lifted his head and shot him a look of pure venom before his head was roughly thrust back down onto the block with such force his eyes slid out of focus, and he looked temporarily dazed.
"The ceremony to welcome Sir Nicholas will begin shortly after the execution, so if you will all remain where you are, and remain silent, we can begin," with that the Baron turned to one of the men that had his hand on Sir Patrick's neck, "Carry on."
The man pulled a shining axe from the depths of his long black robes, raised it above his head and, with many cheers, screams, and groans from the crowd, there was a sickening *thud* a cry of "Take the body to be burned!" from the Baron, and it was all over. Sir Nicholas stood and watched the body be taken away, but swore he saw something silvery white and transparent rise.
