Hello I am finally back having finished university. I am sorry to disappoint all who were waiting for an update but this is a rewrite. I was just going to continue where I had left off with this story but after trying to get back into it now that I have the time to write I just want to start again. I just don't feel I can continue the story in its current state.

There was a lot I left out while trying to get to Hogwarts because for some reason I don't remember I thought that was best for the story and for some reason I had this same problem with how closely I stuck to the books in some parts of the story. This was my first crossover and I really want to give it a second go. I hope that you give this a chance.

Disclaimer-I don't own Danny Phantom or Harry Potter all I have are any OCs that may appear

Vlad rolled his eyes as he phased into the dark living room from the street outside, the Fenton's ghost security system was offline again. Probably broken down for some other invention in a moment of inspiration. Oh well at least this way there would be no unexpected offline time on the black box he knew was attached to the system. Floated down into the lab and started to investigate each of the inventions that had been left strewn about the benches for one that could be used in his plan. It had to be something that Jack would work on tomorrow for certain but the only way to ensure that was for all the other inventions to disappear. It was highly unlikely that Jack would notice the missing inventions as far as Vlad was concerned. Vlad cleared away all but what he concluded to be the latest invention Jack had been working on.

"D...Dhaaaad?" Came a quiet word swallowed up by a yawn that also forced closed the eyes of the young child that had just come down the stairs into the lab.

Vlad had been very careful not to wake any of the family but now standing at the bottom of the stairs was a half asleep ten year old Daniel who in recovering from the yawn had spotted Vlad and was trying to decide whether to run or scream for his parents that he had thought had been in the lab.

Daniel couldn't be allowed to wake his parents. He flew quickly towards the child and overshadowed him. It was easy after all the will of a child couldn't stop him. It however did feel strange to be inside such a small body. He took the boy back to his room before leaving the body letting Daniel drop lightly onto his bed once again asleep. He would take what he saw as a nightmare or even not remember it at all.

Vlad returned to the lab to set up the last parts of his plan before returning to his home across town.

The ground in Amity Park shook as the loud explosion thundered through the air. Vlad paled. He knew the source of the explosion, he had even planned for there to be one but small nothing like what had just happened. Something hadn't gone to plan. If things had gone to plan he would have heard nothing until the love of his life called, frantic and distraught over the loss of Jack and he would be there to comfort her. Now he had to be there for her in person, there was no way he could deny hearing that explosion.

All that was left of the three story house that was Fenton Works was rubble and mangled metal that had once been the ops center that had once stood on top of the house. There was already quite a crowd by the time Vlad arrived, many of which were helping the emergency services who had also arrived. Vlad scanned the crowd looking for baby blue and ginger. He had expected her to be right in there trying to get to Jack after all she would still need time to realise she had made the wrong choice. Nothing, not even a hint of the woman or even the children who should have been of to the side being comforted over the disaster. There was no way Maddie wouldn't have heard the explosion from the park where they normally were at this time on a Saturday. She should have been here by now, right?

Vlad practically tore his phone out of his pocket, dialling Maddie with the press of a quick dial button. Fear gripped him as the voice mail clicked in without even a dialling tone. Please just let her phone be out of battery, he didn't even dare think the D word right now even just when referring to her phone battery. He glanced to the ruins of the house before rushing over. He didn't want to even think that she might have been in there but he couldn't take the chance that she was.

Within an hour they had found a body, Jasmine. Stupid... how could I have been so stupid to assume that they would always end up going to the park. The trips were a weekly thing but that could change and Vlad had been so certain of his plan that he didn't even think for that eventuality, he shouldn't have needed to if the small invention had just overloaded and not set off what could only have been a chain reaction.

The discovery sent Vlad into a panic to the point where he was even using his powers to aid him as he dug through the rubble. He didn't even think of the possibility of being seen all that was on his mind was getting to Maddie.

It was a lot longer before they found Maddie, floodlights were being set up so the search could continue even though most were loosing hope of finding any member of the family alive. Vlad had gone to her side so fast that any faster would have required teleportation. He held her wrist begging that the pulse was just slow or that her hazmat was just too thick. Nothing could top this, this plan was the biggest mistake he would ever make and there was no way he could fix it. It was all his fault, if he had just left the invention alone. If he had just trusted Maddie to realise her mistake and come to him in her own time. He wanted to take all of the previous day back.

He was dead to the world around him. Lost in the depression of Maddie's death. All the voices around him blended into one undecipherable mass with only the loud shouts standing out, not that he caught them either. His fist shook, how dare they so quickly just accept that she was dead. He refused to accept that there was no saving her. What had been so important that they had abandoned her. They had tried for Jasmine. He pivoted quickly fully intending on demanding they return their attention's to Maddie but froze. Paramedics and rescue workers swarmed round a section of the destroyed home. What some of the shouts had been finally sunk in. 'He's alive!' was what had been bellowed in the direction of the paramedics. It was that statement that had them rushing over. He could see even through all the dust Jack's ridiculous orange hazmat. Of course he was that cursed that the one man he wished dead would survive while the person he wanted most to live should die. A very small part of him relished the fact that Jack would suffer this lonely world too but even that thought was small consolation for Maddie's death.

Instead of pulling out Jack's large form a much smaller figure was lifted from the shifted rubble. It took Vlad a moment to realise Jack wasn't the survivor. Daniel was. The small boy was covered in dust from head to toe. His left leg was misshapen and his foot was at a horrible angle from his body. His other leg didn't appear as bad. One of his arms looked as bad as his bad leg while the other sported a clear break. Before he could even confirm for himself that Daniel still lived he was whisked away to the hospital and into emergency surgery.

To be honest I have always thought that Vlad doesn't look at every eventuality when he plans. Yeah he plans in depth but I still think that through out the show he made plenty of mistakes that could have turned out as bad as this.
