Danny, Sam and Tucker have just defeated Freakshow in one of the biggest battles the world has probably seen. Luckily for them, that never actually happened, thanks to a certain Reality Gauntlet that was destroyed in the process. But maybe dealing with a worldwide revealing of Danny's secret would've been easier to handle than another realm away from the human world. The three of them never went looking for trouble. It always seemed to find them instead. And when three wizards about their age come to enroll them in a school of magic, the trouble is only starting.
skitzo should never write her own summaries. any suggestions?
A/N - 6/24/08 - edited; i forgot about Alicia, Maddie's sister. credit goes to Mad Half Hour for pointing it out to me :) (go check out their stuff, it's great).
"I AM THE BOX GHOST! BEWARE!"
Danny, Sam and Tucker had been chasing the box ghost for a while. He'd been so stubborn that he completely gave up on retaliating, that all he did was fly around dodging any of Danny's attacks (not that he did much of anything else)
"I AM THE BOX GHOST! YOUR CYLINDRICAL TRAPS WILL NOT WORK ON ME THIS TIME—AAH!!"
Danny sucked him into the Fenton thermos. "So," he turned to Sam "How long did he last outside the thermos this time?"
Sam checked her watch. "An hour and 36 minutes. We should really keep this on some kind of record, you know; the box ghost hall of infamy. That'd get a few laughs."
Danny gave a light chuckle & shook the Fenton Thermos, and the box ghost gave out a muffled scream. Danny shook the thermos again. "Yeah, maybe that'll teach you to stay in the Ghost Zone."
"Potter, Weasley, Granger! Downstairs now!"
Snape bellowed up the stairs of number 12 Grimmauld place, only to awaken the portrait and screams of Sirius Black's mother.
"FILTHY MUDBLOODS! BLOOD TRAITORS! GET THEM OUT OF MY HOUSE! NOW! YOU VERMIN CREATURES!"
Harry passed by the portrait, told her to shut up, and then walked downstairs, followed by Hermione, and all the Weasleys. Snape looked annoyed and said "Just Ronald", while at the same time staring at Ginny, Fred and George in a murderous way, and Ginny Fred and George ran upstairs.
Snape turned back to the trio. "We have to go. Dumbledore's orders."
"Where are we going professor?' Hermione looked really eager and her face lit up.
"We're going to pick up 3 students. Apparently their letters never arrived."
Danny, Sam, and Tucker were making their way back to the Manson Mansion for their usual Friday night movie marathon. They were used to trouble in Amity Park, but Danny's vibes were just not letting him have any fun.
"Danny, what's wrong, you're looking a bit shaky…are you okay? And would you like a potato chip?" Sam had a face of happiness and concern mixed together, and at the same time, she was shoving a handful of potato chips in his face.
"I'm alright, I just feel as if something's gonna happen. Nothing bad, just something."
She sighed. "Danny, every time you say that, it usually means there's a ghost coming, or you're pushing your curfew back. There's no ghost so, I'm guessing you have to go home."
"Yeah, I guess. Sorry guys, I'll see you tom—"
Tucker stopped him "Don't worry about it. We'll walk you home. C'mon."
They were walking away from Sam's house, when she pulled tucker back for a second. "Tucker why are we walking him home? He's a big boy, he can walk himself."
"Because Sam, every time Danny thinks something's going to happen, it does. He hasn't been wrong yet. And I'm not missing it, good or bad. I doubt you would've wanted to."
Sam thought for a second. "…You're right. I'm glad we came."
As the three of them walked towards Danny's house, a strange, cloaked figure came at them.
"Whoa!" Danny yelled, "Didn't see that one coming. Going ghost!" Danny's raven black hair turned white, and his blue eyes turned green. He was wearing a black and white HAZMAT with a DP logo on the front. The creature came at Sam, and started sucking at her, revealing a silver vapor coming out of Sam.
"LEAVE HER ALONE," Danny yelled as he charged towards the creature and kicked it into the dumpster. It flew away, no longer seen in the darkness of the night.
Tucker ran after Danny. "What was that?!"
Danny looked puzzled and walked towards Sam. "Are you okay?"
Sam nodded. "I'm fine, but that wasn't a ghost. When I saw it, and when it came towards me, I felt like I was never going to be happy ever again."
Danny looked at her in the eyes. "Yeah I felt the same, but then I thought of you…" Sam looked surprised, and red, very red. "…And Tucker. And my family…all of you…" His face had turned into a shade of deep crimson.
Sam followed Danny and Tucker to Danny's house, only to see three kids about Danny's age, and a tall man with greasy hair and a long black cloak, speaking to his parents. When his parents saw them, Jack and Maddie introduced Danny to Professor Snape, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger.
"Kids, these kids are from a school in London. They want you three to attend!"
Danny and tucker seemed really excited, but Sam looked a little pale, well, paler.
Jack spoke up, "Professor Snape and these kids want to talk to you in private, and Danny we need to talk to you later too." Jack and Maddie closed the door behind them.
Snape turned to face them. "Which one of you is Daniel Fenton?" Danny was about to speak, but Snape continued, "also known as Danny Phantom?"
'How does he know about that?' Danny thought.
"Mr. Fenton," Snape started "I am a teacher to these three students at a very special school, a school we only invite the most special of kids to attend. You kids have been accepted to Hog—"
"Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Sam interrupted. "That's what you're talking about right? My mom went there, she told me about it when I was younger, but when my letter never came, we just gave up."
Professor Snape looked irritated. "Yes, Samantha Manson is it?"
"It's Sam," she said strictly. "Call me Sam."
Danny stared at Sam like he just met her for the first time. "And WHEN were you planning to tell me and Tucker about this?"
Sam stepped back. "Uh, Danny, Tucker already knows."
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did only Tucker get to know?"
Sam paused. "Because the day I was planning on telling you was the day you got your ghost powers, and there was too much going on after that. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, it's okay, I guess," Danny said, but he still looked disgruntled.
Professor Snape just grunted. "Mr. Foley, take your letter, you as well Mr. Fenton, Ms. Manson."
They stepped forward and took a letter, switched them to their owner, and read them. Danny spoke the 1st paragraph aloud.
Dear Mr. Daniel Fenton
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. We realize that you're older than the usual age to be accepted, but due to an accident that happened in March of 2006, your talents have been recognized.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
You're sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmaster
DANIEL FENTON:
You will require:
-Three sets of plain work robes (black)
-One plain pointed hat (black) for daywear
-One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)
-One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings)
Please note that all pupil' clothes should carry name tags
Mr. Fenton:
Due to the fact that your admittance into Hogwarts was late, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger will be there to assist in your learning of spells, charms, and history of Hogwarts from the past 4 years.
To you Mr. Fenton, I wish you all the luck.
Albus Dumbledore
Professor Snape walked away from the six kids. "Potter, Weasley, Granger, I must get back to the Order. You three are to stay with those three (he pointed to Danny Sam and Tucker), and explain to them whatever they ask you." Snape walked away, and with a loud CRACK, he vanished.
Danny, Sam and Tucker stared at each other, then at the letters again, then at each other, then at the letters. Over and over until someone thought of something smart to say.
"So you're telling me," Danny asked, "that I'm a wizard, but you guys didn't realize it 'til this year?"
Harry nodded at him. "I didn't believe I was a wizard either, but I was 11 when I got my letter, and I wasn't a ghost, or half."
Danny still didn't understand. "I understand why Sam would get accepted to hog...whatever, but last time I checked, me and Tucker can't do magic, and neither can our parents."
Hermione Granger handed Danny a picture. "That's where you're wrong. Your mom attended Hogwarts about 20 years ago, along with her sister Lily—"
"My mom's sister''s name is Alicia. She lives in Spittoon, Arkansas and she is certainly not a witch. There's no Lily."
Harry looked at Danny sharply "That's where you're wrong, again. Your mom is Lily Evan's twin sister." Everything was the same except the eyes.
Danny was getting mad. He wasn't looking at anyone, and his eyes had turned to the same green hd has in Ghost mode.
'How is it possible that I don't know about this? Does Jazz know? Does DAD know?'
"I need to go have a little chat with my mother." Danny stormed into his house, and saw Jazz sitting at the table reading a book.
"Hey little brother, what did those guys tell—"
"Did you know mom is a witch?"
Jazz raised an eyebrow. "Oh, get real, Danny, there's no such thing as magic."
Fortunately for Danny and Jazz, their mom was downstairs, working on some new invention and making really loud noises.
"Mom! Me and Jazz need to talk to you!" he shouted down the stairs.
"I'll be right there—"
"NOW!"
Danny's mom was next seen at the doorway to the lab, covered in green goop, and her face seemed streaked with tears. "Danny what's wrong?"
"Hmm, I don't know. Maybe you should tell me Ms. Maddie Evans?"
"What did you say?"
"MAYBE, me and Jazz should be asking the questions, like when were you going to tell us that we had a dead aunt? Because—"
"AUNT ALICIA'S DEAD?!" Jazz screamed, falling out of her chair.
"No, Jazz, I'm talking about mom's twin sister Lily, y'know, the one we've heard about so much. And here's some more great news: her son is standing outside waiting for me to go to LONDON!"
"I'm sorry, but it's not like you've been completely honest Danny, or should I say Phantom?"
Danny's face went into shock. "That's different mom—"
"Oh, is it really?" she asked skeptically. "Danny you lied to us! For a year you've kept secrets and lied, how are we supposed to get along as a family if you lie to us? You could have been in huge danger, there's no telling what the ectoplasm in your system could have done!"
"Well it wouldn't have made a difference, regardless! How did you expect me to come out and tell you when you guys kept making dangerous stuff all over the house? Look at your profession! It's safe to say that I was scared out of my mind!"
"How do you know what our reaction would've been, you didn't even know me and your father knew until after I told you?"
"Never mind that, just…AH!" Danny was at a loss for words. He and his mom had fought for 20 minutes nonstop until Danny left the house; more confused then when he walked in. Sam walked up to him, but Danny just pushed her away. "Not now Sam, I'm gonna go patrol the city, or maybe I'll just go fly around and head to The Spot. I'll see you guys later."
Sam looked into his eyes, and saw his eyes tearing up. When Danny flew away, Sam and Tucker were left with Harry, Ron, and Hermione Granger.
Ron walked next to Sam and Tucker. "Does he do that a lot?"
Sam chuckled. "No, he's just having a stressful week…trust me."
Ron laughed. "I know what that's like."
"He'll be back. So, do Danny, Tucker, and me have to go? You know, to Hogwarts?"
"Well," Ron said, "school doesn't start for another few months, so you're okay. But they sort of expected the three of you in London tomorrow. We have to teach you everything…I honestly don't know why I'm doing any of the teaching, I understand Hermione, she's top in our year, Harry's been through more than any of us, and he's also the best at Defense Against the Dark Arts..." he hesistated. "I didn't mention that his mom knows about his powers already, his mom and his dad?" Ron asked, in a don't-kill-me kind of way
"WHAT?" Sam and Tucker both yelled. "WHY'D YOU DO THAT?"
"We thought they already knew so Snape sort of blurted it out without really asking anything." Hermione said to them. "When we saw their faces, we kind of figured what had happened. Snape won't be too sorry though...I doubt he even cares. Where'd your friend Danny go?"
"His sister or his dad probably ticked him off. He went to the woods." Sam replied
"Oh. Do you want me, Harry and Ron to go get him?" Hermione asked.
"No, you'd probably get lost in there. Danny and me are the only people who know our way around in there." Sam said. "I'll find out what happened with Danny."
A/N - yup.
