CHAPTER 1
It had happened a mere month ago, but to Danny it seemed a lot longer then that. It didn't seem like only a mere four weeks ago he had watched as his family and one of his best friends were buried in the ground. It also didn't seem like 2 weeks since Vlad had returned from space apparently a now new man.
(Backflash)
"I swear if he mentions pelts one more time I'll seriously consider letting my parents tear him apart molecule by molecule" Danny snapped
"Couldn't happen to a meaner ghost" Sam chuckled.
He and his friends had just captured Skulker and before that the Box Ghost for the twentieth time that time. Now they were heading back to Fenton Works for dinner since it was closer and Danny's mom had already called to say they were having pizza.
"Not to mention you wouldn't make a very good pelt" Tucker said looking up from his PDA and away from his mayor e-mails. "Then again maybe he'll stuff you and rig you up with a tape recorder to shout "Beware" every time someone comes to his door"
Both of his friends looked at the mayor techno geek weird. Sam then slapped herself on the face before laughing and Danny chuckled slightly.
"Maybe we should stuff you Tucker" Sam said.
"Yea I can see it now the first youngest mayor of amity park stuffed forever for all his fans to adore him" Danny chuckled.
"Yea and Jazz does still have the Tuck Bot 9000" Sam said.
"Nah mom reprogrammed the tuck bot" Danny said, "It's now the Fenton Bot, and get this it actually says "Jack Fenton rules" to my dad whenever he finishes an invention"
All three friends laugh and a limo pulled up suddenly, and a man poked his head out.
"Sir your late for a meeting with the minister of public safety" The man said.
"Duty calls see yea dudes" Tucker said and jumped into the limo.
Danny and Sam then approached Fenton Works and Danny was about to open the door when he saw the door was already opened.
"Whys the door open?" Sam asked.
"Must be Cujo again" Danny groaned, "Dads taken it upon himself to make sure Cujo doesn't do anymore damage to his lab. The little guy shows up every now and then. Dad then grabs the nearest ghost hunting blaster and chases him down"
"Id pay to see that" Sam laughed and they entered the house.
Danny phased down into the lab, leaving Sam to go and dig into the pizza in the kitchen. After dumping out his thermos he then suddenly noticed how quiet it was upstairs. No explosions, no mom screaming at dad, no Jazz nagging, no Sam yelling about not having veggie pizza. Nothing just silence. Fenton Works was never this quiet, thinking there might be something wrong he phased upstairs into the kitchen.
He then paled.
(End of Backflash)
Danny had found his girlfriend, sister and parents dead in the kitchen. The medical examiners couldn't find a reason for death, it had been almost as if they had been scared to death. The papers had announced it as a "Tragic Accident of a Hero's family" but most of the people around amity park were now whispering that he had something to do with his families and girlfriends deaths.
"Why, why did this have to happen?" Danny asked as he stood there in early November, at the graves of his parents, sister and girlfriend.
He suddenly couldn't hold it back anymore and he fell to his knees, crying while screaming to the sky as he tore at his hair. It began to snow slowly, he didn't care how cold it was gonna get. He didn't care about the fact he was only wearing a short sleeved shirt and jeans, he didn't care if he died of ammonia.
"If you keep yelling like that young man" A voice announced, "what's that muggle expression, wake the dead"
"Then maybe I should keep screaming" Danny said not bothering to dry his tears as he looked behind him.
There in the cold air, of the cemetery stood a tall old man with the longest white beard Danny had ever seen on someone's face. He wore a tall pointed hat which turned slightly it the tip, and hung down, and a pair of half moon glasses covering his eyes. He wore a heavy red long sleeved coat that went down to his black boots. He stood out in amity park then again Danny doubted he would blend in anywhere.
"Who are you Santa Clause or something?" Danny groaned, "Or a ghost of Christmas yet to come"
"I can assure you young man I am no ghost nor this Santa Clause" The old man chuckled and then Danny noticed a bundle of long stem white red roses in his hands, with were gripped by fingers that wore many rings.
Vlad Masters cursed at himself silently, and parked his car in front of amity park's cemetery. The boy had yet again disappeared on him, tenth time in the last 2 weeks. Daniel was always disappearing and yet finding him was the easiest yet hardest thing the former villain had ever had to do. He would always find the young teenager sleeping or crying at his parents graves, at Maddies grave.
He missed her, even the times when she would purposely spill tea into his lap, or make some rude comment about him. The Maddie holograms he had just didn't replace the real her. The death of Jack, Maddie and Sam had also taken it's toll on young Daniel. He just shut out everyone, even when he offered to take the boy in at least until he found a more suitable home for him. Indeed he would adopt Danny at a moments notice but yet with his record of holding the world hostage and Danny refusing to have anything to do with him, that made adopting him that much more difficult if not impossible.
Vlad got out the car and started up to the back of the graveyard to where his dear beloved Madeline lay now. That's when he noticed an old man standing in front of Daniel as he stood in front of Jack and Maddies grave. He paled, he knew this man. He could tell just by the pointy cap alone.
"I asked you a question old man!!" Danny snapped angry at this stranger.
"Well now I am.." The man said but was cut off suddenly when Vlad came charging up towards Danny.
"Daniel" Vlad said.
"Great what do you want come to finally claim me as your evil son Vlad?" Danny snapped, "Just leave me alone!"
"Danny" Vlad said and sighed, the boy was so stubborn.
"Vlad?" The old man asked, "Why I hardly recognized you, I see you like me keep your looks even in such an old age"
"Why are you here anyway?" Vlad snapped. "He's not one of you"
"Oh but you see that's where your wrong, you see im afraid we made a mistake and he slipped through the cracks of our radar sort of speaking" The old man said.
"I highly doubt that if Maddie did not tell the boy I don't think you should poke your nose into things like always Albus" Vlad snapped.
"You knew my parents?" Danny asked.
"Yes quiet well actually" The man said, "i'm afraid we did however loose touch over the years with the going ons over in England"
"England?" Danny asked.
"Oh yes quiet a nasty surge of events over there i'm afraid what with all the funny deaths happening now" He said.
"Funny deaths?" Danny asked.
"That's enough he doesn't need to know anything or be involved in your world Albus I wont allow it!!" Vlad snapped, "Maddie did not tell him about it and he shouldn't know"
"Who made you my keeper?" Danny snapped his eyes glowing green at Vlad angrily. "And just who are you anyway? Who do you think you are!!!"
"Oh im sorry im being rude not introducing myself please forgive me" He said as he dug out a white envelope from his right side pocket of his jacket and handed it to Danny.
Danny silently read the front of the envelope to himself.
Mr. Daniel Fenton aka Danny Phantom
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
London, England
"I Mr. Fenton or Mr. Phantom whichever you prefer" The Old Man said, "I am Albus James Dumbledoor, current headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry"
"Uh come again" Danny said and the cold wind blew in his face as if laughing at his comment.
Authors Note: I wrote this over the course of a whole day, and wasn't happy with the first outcome and then rewrote the entire front which resulted in the entire thing be re-written and plot being re-written at the same time. At first I was gonna have it post phantom planet but thought that I wanted Danny to have something in common with Harry. Then I was gonna have Harry grown up and taking care of him with his wife and kids but where's the fun of him facing old snake face in that?
Anyway this is the ending result of the first chapter. Forgive me if it feels, rushed and forgive the horrible grammar. I just hope your all happy with the outcome.
