Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Linkin Park.

Fruit's Note: This came from the thought, "What if before Danny can capture Dan, the Nasty Burger blew up?" Then along came the thought, "Harry Potter is funny…. Hey! Let's make a crossover!" And this is the end result of DP/HP crossover. There's a reason this is in the DP section. It's because Danny will be the main character and the main focus (might be a small POV change, though)

Fruit's Other Note: Our beloved main character will be called Danny or Daniel while his ghost half will be Phantom and the future him will be called Dan.

Fruit's Other Other Note: Apparently, songfics aren't allowed on this webpage, although about 25724 stories contain them. Therefore, the chapter name will be after a song that I based the chapter on. This is NO LONGER a songfic. Thank you.

Prologue/Easier to Run

"NO!" they cried, flying towards them.

But at last, they were too late.

Boom!

They watched with tear-filled eyes as the Nasty Burger exploded. The older him, the more experienced him, laughed.

"Look Daniel!" he cheered. "There's no stopping now! All your futile attempts have been silenced! Abandon your human side! You might as well as become me now!"

Out of frustration and anger, Phantom launched himself at Dan. "I won't forgive you! I'll never forgive you! I'll kill you!"

At that, Dan laughed. "Kill me? But you are me!"

An idea sparked in Danny's mind. The fact that it was a stupid idea didn't register in his brain. Only the thought of revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge.

Danny didn't tell Phantom his plan. He just ordered Phantom to move away from Dan. Phantom became confused. Since when did Danny order him around? But he complied, surely he wasn't thinking of something too bad!

Phantom switched, by Danny's will, back to the young teenage boy. Danny, with a soft smile, picked up a small jagged rock from the explosion.

Dan realized it before Phantom did. Danny gave a triumphed grin to Dan. "I win," he whispered.

Hope this doesn't hurt was the last thought before he plunged the rock into his chest.
