Me: This is my first ever fanfic on I hope you all like it, and know that I really put most of my time into it.
Brandon: Of course they will... just like you like to listen to me prattle on.
Me: Oh, go fuck with Danny, I'm sure he misses you after his pissy fits these last two days!
Danny: Go fuck yourself, it's none of your fucking business.
Me: Well it's my business if I'm forced to growl at everyone at school because I'm reflecting your mood.
Brandon: Now while those two are busy, enjoy the fanfic.
Disclaimer: If I owned both Danny Phantom and Harry Potter I would have to be two different people at once, and who can do that?
The Hogwarts ghost
Danny sighed, resuming his pace to get down the stairs. He'd been at the 'Leaky Cauldron' for a weak now and he still hadn't gotten used to the random creepy things that happened here. Like when the guy washes the table, the glasses he washes disappear once he's done with 'em.
He blinked when he heard a loud 'bang' from outside. He turned intangible and floated through the wall to see what was going on. He saw a huge blue triple decker bus, and a raven-haired boy get off. He was dragging a huge trunk with a bird cage attached to it.
The man who ran the Leaky Cauldron was already out there, and he waved a stick at the honking car and it stopped. Danny didn't jump that time, as he was used to it by now. He listened into their discussion and found that the boy was named Harry Potter. His interest was piqued, because he'd heard many people whispering about a boy named that, so he followed him inside.
He listened into the discussion that he entered a few moments later and had a lot of his questions answered without actually having to voice a thing. There was apparently a wizarding world, and this boy was a wizard who had accidentally blown up his aunt.
He waited until after the minister of magic, he'd been surprised to know that they had a minister at all with someone that stupid, had gone to show himself to him.
The boy knocked into him and an owl hooted at Danny from above him.
"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going," the boy said looking up at him.
"No problem," Danny said, pretending to just notice his trunk, "Do you need a room to stay at? I can share mine with you if you want."
The boy looked startled, and looked around him.
Danny grinned. "Unless you want to pay for your own room of course. My names Danny by the way," he said, reaching a hand down to help him up.
The boy looked even more startled at this generosity. He accepted the hand up though.
"T-thanks. My names Harry, Harry Potter," he looked at him expectantly, as though he was going to freak out at his name.
"Really? Nice name Harry. Well, let me help you get your stuff, seeing as how you look dead on your feet," Danny said.
"Can I really stay with you? I don't want to be a bother…" he trailed off at the amused look on Danny's face.
"Now, really, I'm the one who asked you if you wanted to stay with me. Why would I consider you a bother if I'm the one to ask you?" Danny joked, grabbing the trunk from the boy as he started to protest.
The boy smiled slightly and pushed his glasses up before they could fall down his nose. Now that Danny got a better look at him, he could see that he had beautiful emerald eyes, and untamed raven hair. He was wearing clothes that were definitely too big for him, but he seemed content with the way he looked.
Harry blinked and flushed slightly at Danny's intense scrutiny.
"We're going to go out into London tomorrow and get you some new clothes," Danny firmly told him, Harry began to protest. Danny rolled his eyes and began leading the way to his room. "I don't care what you think, believe me, nothing you buy can make a dent in my account. Now come on, I think you're going to like living with me," Danny looked back at him grinning.
Harry smiled slightly back at him, as though he was in shock that someone he didn't even know was offering to buy him new clothes. "T-thanks…I guess," he quietly answered.
Danny's grin widened as he thought of something new. "And you can pay me back by telling me how the hell everyone manages to do all these cool things!" he chirped, pleased at an answer to all the questions he had.
Harry blinked at him slowly. "What do you mean all these cool things?"
Danny's grin faded slightly. "Like how people here are always doing weird things. Like making things disappear, or making something hover… stuff like that!"
Harry look surprised, and slightly alarmed as his explanation ended. "You mean, you don't know about magic? But then how'd you get in here? Only wizards and squibs too, can see this place," Harry slowly said, as though thinking it over to himself.
Danny shrugged. "Magic is it? Well, now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. I've seen enough weird things in my life to believe it," he said, as though everyday he was told that magic existed.
Harry stared at him for a few seconds before slowly asking, "So you're not going to freak out?"
"Why should I, it's just magic. I've run across scarier things, things trying to kill me by the way, that I'm really open to anything at the moment," Danny shrugged again, letting all worry wash away from him.
Harry grinned, "You know what? I think we're going to get along just fine," he said. Danny snorted, as if they wouldn't. As long as he kept his secret to himself, he could keep this kid as his friend. But he wouldn't let him get too close, too close meant he'd find out. If he found out, Danny would have to kill him.
Danny paused outside of a door and unlocked it with his key. He let Harry go in first, technically he was a guest. Harry looked surprised at how big the room was. Danny had really asked for a two- roomed room, he loved being weird.
"So, why are you here?" Harry asked later on. He poked his head through the door to his room and watched as Danny flinched at the question.
"You asshole! I trusted you and now you tell us you're not human!"
"I…just wanted to get away from my life at home," came Danny's soft reply.
"Sam! This is why I didn't tell you or Tucker, I knew you'd freak out!"
"Oh, sorry if it brings up bad memories. Want to talk about it. I've hear that talking really helps," Harry offered quietly, walking over to sit on the bed. Danny was looking at the floor, seemingly lost in memories.
"Dude, you'll turn your back on us and hand us over to your ghost friends! How could we have ever trusted you?"
"I…I thought you were different than other humans…"
"Of course we are we're going to get rid of you so you can't hurt anyone else!"
"All you humans are the same. All you care about is your own kind, you never care about others. If you discover someone isn't human, you turn your back on them, even if they're your best friend. You disgust me. You don't deserve to live."
"W-what are you talking about monster? You killed them all, I know you did! It had to be you! Why should we trust you when you did tha-?"
Slash, red liquid spewing everywhere, a scream, a thunk…
"You killed him! I knew you were evil. You bastar-"
Another ripple through the night, another fountain of red, then silence…
"Humans don't deserve to live if this is how they are. I'll never trust a human again. I'll never let one get near me again. It only ends in pain and death. Humans are despicable creatures who don't deserve to live, who would stab you in the back first chance they get. I can never trust anyone, no matter who they are. I'll never let anyone get close, if they try, I'll kill them."
Footsteps faded away, new ones crept near. A scream rent through the dawn.
"No, I don't feel like talking about it. You should get some sleep, we're going to London in the morning," Danny said, turning away so Harry couldn't see the hate, sadness, and fear flashing in his eyes. That had been so long ago, could humans have changed? No, he'd promised he wouldn't let anyone near him. It only caused him pain, it always caused him pain.
"Okay…if you feel like talking, I can listen though. Goodnight Danny."
Danny listened to the soft footsteps and the click of the door closing before turning back around. For just a second he nearly accepted his offer, nearly told him everything. He'd crushed it down though; he'd promised himself not to. This human was the same as the others, he had to be. No human was kind; no human was unspiteful towards others not of their kind.
He fell asleep to the screams of the past, of two people he once trusted with all his heart. The two who had broken that heart beyond all belief and had died by his hand in his fury. The two who had taken him in when no other wanted him, the two he had also believed were different. That mistake must not be repeated.
Me: Danny's going to be really weird in his own thoughts. He might come off as contradictory at first with the whole 'I'm not going to let anyone near me, if I do I'll kill them' thing, but that's like close as family not friends. So it doesn't have anything to do with Harry, believe me he won't even try to kill him in a few chapters.
I also have a dillema, this is going to be slash, I already know who the four main characters are, but not who is going out with who. The choices are either:
DannyxVlad, with HarryxTom or
DannyxVoldemort, with HarryxVlad
I am calling a vote to see which to end up with. Believe me when I say that Danny and Tom do have some history together, but it's not good.
Brandon: You nearly gave something away!
Me: Shut up! I did not.
Brandon: Now all you pussy's out there had better review or I'll claw your eyes out.
(Me: That's a real nice way to put it.)
