Brothers in a New World

A/N Okay, so to clarify, this is Pre-Reality Trip, but Danny already got his ice powers. Just go with it, okay?! This is my first story, so give me some slack. This has absolutely no DannyxSam or DannyxHarry in it. And yes, this is certainly a crossover for Danny Phantom and Harry Potter. Hope you enjoy. Rated T because I'm paranoid and stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any of it's characters, nor do I own a Harry Potter.

Chapter 1: Wizard Ghosts?

It was the second week of summer vacation in Amity Park. A certain spectre could be seen flying over the town. If you were to 'zoom in', you would see that the spook was Danny Phantom, ghostly protector in some eyes, annoying menace in others.

Danny was fairly happy right then. There hadn't been any ghost attacks all week (unless you counted the Box Ghost and one visit from Klemper). It was between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, at the moment.

Quite suddenly, Danny dived down and, right before he hit the ground, stopped and hovered there for a second. After, he continued forward, going up a bit so he was just below the lamps on the street lights. It was very calm that evening, no cars, a couple people walking around, but Danny just went invisible when they came around.

Yet, something felt off to the young halfa. The air seemed to be thick with tension as he flew, even though Danny was obviously the only living (or half-living) thing in sight. After Danny had floated for a bit, he caught the sight of black fabric in the corner of his eye, while he felt a sort of... Aura, that said 'bad'. So, being his clueless self, Danny ignored the fact that he didn't feel his ghost sense and went after the source of the presence.

As Danny turned into an alley that he thought the assumed ghost had went through, he couldn't help but wonder why the being hadn't attacked him. They must've not seen him or something, he concluded. Danny wondered farther into the alley, oblivious to the two 'ghosts' waiting for him. Just as he was going to go intangible and fly out, his head seemed to explode with pain. No, not as if somebody had hit him, it was deeper than that.

That was when the two decided to alert the boy of their presence. They jumped out and circled him until one was facing the entrance and the other facing the end of the alley. Danny finally looked up, baffled at the appearance of them. Both of them wore some sort of mask and black cloak, but that wasn't the weirdest thing. They also had sticks pointed at him, almost as if they were supposed to threaten him.

The word wand popped into his mind, but he quickly dismissed the thought. What, did he think they were some kind of wizard ghosts or something? As Danny was about to stand, another burst of pain rang through his head, worse than the last, and he clasped both hands to his head, all his thoughts of escape gone. The two 'ghosts' seemed intrigued by this, and one whispered something to the other, and Danny could only catch the words "master" and "informed". Master? What?

Just as they seemed to decide on something, a loud 'Crack' escaped into the air, and the two swiftly turned to see... Something. Danny was in too much pain to care. It had happened before, when he was alone, but never as bad as this. His brain numbly processed the word "Stupify!" shouted by an unknown person/ghost, and again, and two small 'thump's. A few words were whispered, and the pain finally seemed to reside a bit.

Danny looked up to see yet another being, person, ghost, or whatever they were, but without the crazy mask. And the guy also looked a lot older. Like, Clockwork in his oldest form old. The unnamed figure slowly walked over to Danny, who seemed to finally notice that he was no longer in his ghost form. Had the pain really been that bad?

As the man was approaching, the younger seemed to finally process what kind of danger he could be in. So, he quickly say up, only to be hit with a wave of pain in head that caused him to be dizzy. By the time the 15-year-old had recovered, the man the only feet away, and Danny scrambled to his feet and took a few steps back. The man stopped when he had done this, and Danny got a good look at his face. Wow, he was really old.

After awhile, the man spoke up. "Do not be frightened, Daniel," he said, and Danny flinched at the loudness of it. Geez, his head still hurt! "H-how do you know my name?" he asked shakily, the words sounding like a shout in his head when he was speaking very quietly. The other sighed and gently spoke, "We need to get out of here now, or else you'll be in trouble. You will get to ask all the questions you need later."

Danny looked back up at the man, noting that his voice had a kind of British accent to it. "Hey, I-I don't need your help, whoever you are. Who are you, anyway?" The man shook his head in slight amusement before answering, "My name is Albus Dumbledore, and unfortunately you do, in fact, need my help, considering you could have just died if I had not been here. So, will you be kind enough to take my arm?"

A/N: Haha, cliff hanger! I know it's short. It's the begging and I just thought this up so he patient. ED21, out!
