However, upon seeing Erling's pompous attitude, he decided to carry on throwing his party despite the lack of food.
This act, planned and committed by Sir Nicholas, Jacob's sibling and Merula Snyde, was discovered by Professor Sprout, who later ordered Sir Nicholas to give his food to Erling and help with Herbology classes. This collision gradually escalated to a strife in which Sir Nicholas attempted to sabotage Erling's party by preserving the food which was intended to be spoiled. Since they shared the same deathday, Jacob's sibling and the Fat Friar suggested the two celebrate together, but it got rejected by Erling. He was preparing for the party when Erling the Great arrived at Hogwarts. Sir Nicholas held a Deathday Party on 31 October, 1985. "Nearly Headless Nick", as he was called by the majority of the student body, was always happy to point new Gryffindors in the right direction when late to class. He became the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and would spend his life after death there. Sir Nicholas chose to linger as a ghost rather than "go on", because, by his own admission, he feared death. I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead." - Sir Nicholas explaining how he chose to remain among the living I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have. Sir Nicholas had his wand taken away, however, thus was unable to leave his dungeon cell. Īlbus Dumbledore explained in his notes on " The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" that Muggle executions of wizards such as Sir Nicholas were rarely successful, given that wizards could magically protect themselves and escape. Naturally, these acts of betrayal and idiocy alone were not enough to condemn Sir Nicholas to such a brutal death, but the rampant acts of previous juvenile encounters led to an unsympathetic public. Thus, it took forty-five hacks to kill Sir Nicholas and even then his head was only partially severed. However, the executioner's axe was blunt, as the grindstone used to sharpen it had been misplaced. He became a "gibbering wreck" when the executioner told him to kneel before the block. Ī priest came to Sir Nicholas's cell to comfort him and escort him to the execution site at dawn the following day. Throughout the night he cried that he would soon undo the damage done to Lady Grieve. Before being locked in a dungeon, his wand was taken from him, thus preventing him from using magic to escape.
Sir Nicholas was immediately taken into custody and sentenced to death as a result of this mistake.
He was certain he could straighten her crooked teeth, but his attempt to do so backfired, causing her to grow a tusk. Sir Nicholas met Lady Grieve while strolling in the park on the evening of 30 October, 1492. " It was a mistake any wizard could make / Who was tired and caught on the hop / One piffling error, and then, to my terror, / I found myself facing the chop." - A self-penned ballad relaying Sir Nicholas's death Ī re-enactment of Sir Nicholas's beheading, as performed at the Hogwarts Hallowe'en feast
