A young girl, around the age of fifteen, was sitting in a tree, holding an apple in her hand. Her raven blue hair fell across her face, although not hiding her icy blue eyes, as she heard her stomach growl. She hasn't eaten in about two days, and her last meal was pretty much garbage, no exaggeration. Her thin body was covered with a dingy old blue sweatshirt and red shorts. She had scruffy old blue sneakers, and wasn't very tall.

She smiled at the apple, ignoring the guilt when she caught glimpse of the nearby apple cart with a boy about eight selling his apple batch. The girl sighed, and before anything could happen…

TIME OUT!

Everything froze, and a portal appeared. A cloaked figure exited a portal, and underneath the hood you could see piercing red eyes with a scar and blue skinned face. He placed a medallion around the girl's neck, and shocked to see the figure, she promptly fell out of the tree.

"Clockwork?" she sat up and rubbed her head. "What are you doing here?"

"Danielle, someone has requested your help," Clockwork said.

"Me?" Danielle asked. "Who?"

"The Headmaster of Hogwarts, the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Clockwork said.

"What do you mean, 'Witchcraft and Witchery'? Like, magic and stuff?" Danielle asked.

"Precisely. They keep hidden from Muggles, those who don't have magic. Even with their magic, there is a problem growing. A dark wizard has returned to power and your own powers may be able to stop him." Clockwork said.

"My powers?" Danielle cocked her head in confusion. "I think you're choosing the wrong halfa. Danny's the hero, not me. He's better trained, and let's face it, I'm not a hero."

"He saved the planet from being hit by an asteroid, causing his identity to be exposed. You're less known, and you're the only halfa who hasn't been exposed." Clockwork said.

"I am?" Dani counted off her fingers. "Oh yeah, there were only three, Vlad exposed himself when he bribed the planet, Danny revealed himself after saving the planet, and then there's me."

"Traveling country to country, staying out of sight and hidden and use your powers to steal from countless salesmen and stores, correct Danielle?" Clockwork asked.

"You make it sound bad," Danielle cringed, "it's only for survival. Most of the time I dig out of the trash or try to get a job, but that's hard for a girl to get one with no records of any sort. I don't even have a surname."

"Yes, it's completely understandable. Doesn't mean it is not wrong," Clockwork said. "However, if you help the Wizard world with their problem, you could forget your current life."

Danielle looked at the apple and the boy. "You want me to return this, don't you?"

"It would be the right thing." Clockwork said.

"Well, if I'm going to be a hero," Danielle bit into the apple. "I'm going to need this energy."

Clockwork sighed as he opened another portal, and they walked through and unfroze time.

Well, I thought there was a lack of Dani Phantom and Harry Potter, so ta-da!
