Chapter One

The Insanity Begins

"WE'VE GOT YOU NOW, SPOOK!" bellowed Jack.

"With the authority invested in me, I sentence you back from whence you came!" shouted Maddie.

Danny looked from one to the other. He was in ghost form, and he was cornered. He was in a ghost shield, and he couldn't escape. He couldn't phase through. There was only one thing he could do.

"Mom, Dad, wait!" he cried. "You don't want to do this! I'm your son!"

Jack shook his head. "You are not our son, spook. Our son is alive."

Danny closed his eyes. He transformed and opened his sky blue eyes.

They both looked at him, stunned. Then, Maddie shouted, "Then you are our son no longer, you semiectoplasmic manifestion of half-human consiousness!" And she fired, hitting him and knocking him down.

And he lay there for an instant, shocked. They had rejected him. Completely. Without a second thought. Then he got up, and changed while he blew past them, running with inhuman speed, fear and horror giving his feet wings, then he jumped up and flew as soon as he was out of the shield and fully changed. His parents charged after him. His friends had had enough of the craziness involved, and had decided to go back to just being a techno geek and a Goth, instead of a ghost hunting techno geek and a ghost hunting Goth. They weren't his friends anymore. They kept his secret. That was all they did for him now.

He flew, at his top speed of 212 miles per hour, away, heading to England for no reason other than that it felt right. He wasn't at all sure why, but it was good and far away, so he went there, following his instinct.


Harry stared at the minister. "W-what?"

The Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, spoke patiently. "A boy is headed to England, who is only half human. When he arrives, you have to collect him. He is half human, half ghost. You need to bring him here. His family, when they found out, rejected him and shot at him with weapons specially designed for ghosts. His ghost form is wearing a jumpsuit with a vaguely D-shaped logo on the front, and has white hair and green eyes. He glows in that form. His human form wears a red and white t-shirt with jeans, and has black hair and blue eyes. I need you and Ronald Weasley, along with Hermione Granger, to bring him here."

Harry still looked confused, but less so. "Half-ghost, half-human? How?"

"I do not know. But he is. I set an Auror to track him. He has fought ghosts for two years now, keeping them away from his town. But not anymore. However, he may need protection. He is still cautious; the Auror I sent to watch him says he seems to expect the ghosts to follow him. He also says that the boy's instincts tend to be correct. Now, go!"

Harry left, off to where Kingsley said he would be most likely to land.


Danny crash-landed, exhausted from the long, long flight. Across an ocean and half a country, and then a while overland. He had never flown so much in his life. He had intended to find somewhere to stay before he crashed - an abandoned, supposedly haunted building perhaps - but he was just too tired. He just had time to see a man with black hair and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his head hurrying toward him before he blacked out.


Hope you like this, people! This is my new fanfiction. I'll try to update about once a week. Yes, Sam and Tuck managed to be OOC without even being present, but still. I'm keeping it this way! R&R! And yes, there is quite a while between when Danny took off for England and when he landed, I just didn't say that. Danny flew nonstop. Again, hope you like it, and R&R!
