Mr. and Mrs. Granger found themselves in a place that they never thought they would ever have to visit: Child Services. The never thought that because they were by all accounts good understanding parents. They even accepted the fact that magic was real and that there daughter was in fact a Witch and was sent off to a magical school of all things earlier that year. Luckily for them they weren't there for any personal transgressions against their daughter. They were there because an old friend had called, telling them to come over without really explaining much.

The same old friend was currently exiting the building to greet them. "Elsa! William! It's good to see you two!" she greeted the couple.

"It's good to see you too, Amy." Mrs. Granger, Elsa, greeted back. "What was it that you wanted to talk about?"

"Right. Sorry about the short call, I was really busy when I made it." Amy replied slightly embarrassed. "Anyway let's get inside, looks like it might start to rain."

Once inside Amy led them through several hallways before reaching her office. "Here we are, please take a seat." Once the Grangers did took a seat Amy started her explanation. "I have a favor to ask you two." she paused unsure how to say what needs to be said. "Um. You two are great parents, I mean Hermione's such a sweet heart and all… um… would you mind taking in a little girl?"

Caught completely off guard William replied, "Excuse me?"

"I know!" Amy replied knowing how absurd the request sounded. "Normally I wouldn't ask something like this from you, but... Look!" she quickly pulled a file from her desk and opening it for the couple. "This is Danielle Fenton." she said pointing to a picture of a young girl with black hair, blue eyes and couldn't be more than twelve.

Quickly reading over the file Mr. Granger asked, "Why doesn't it say her birthdate?" Noticing one of many blank spots in her profile.

"We don't know. Hell, even she doesn't know." Amy answered before continuing. "We think she's American, because of her accent, but we still couldn't find a birth certificate even after asking the American embassy for some help. The poor dear is a ghost."

"I hate to sound uncaring." Mrs. Granger started. "But why come to us? Why not take her to an orphanage or another family?"

Grimacing a bit, Amy replied. "Well. That's a bit of long story." Noting that the couple still wanted an explanation she relented. "It was hard enough to get her to stay put. She got away from us five times in the week we've had her in custody, and only recently have I got her to trust me." Scratching her cheek slightly embarrassed she continued, "Somehow she got me to promise that if I have to find her a family to go to that it would be a family that I personally trusted, and that would be you guys."

Trying to lay on the charm Amy continued, "Besides. I thought you two wanted more kids. And Hermione would probably appreciate a younger sister."

Raising an eye brow William asked, "Are you trying to get us to adopt her?"

Realizing that she may have overstepped her bounds Amy quickly back peddled, "No!" Then admitted with little shame, "At least not right away." Seeing there pointed looks Amy decided to play her last card, she begged. "Come on, Please. She's a real sweet heart that doesn't know what it's like to have a family. I think she deserves a chance at least."

Finding their social worker friend act like this was amusing for both William and Elsa, but they also knew they need to discuss this with each other. Excusing themselves form their friend's office they had their much needed discussion in the hall way in hush tones.

"What are your thoughts love?" William asked his wife.

"Frankly, I don't know." Elsa replied. "Amy is pretty desperate, and I do sympathies with the child's story."

Nodding William replied, "Or lack-there-of. But sad none the less."

"William? Do you think we should actually take her in?"

"I don't know." he replied. "We have talked about trying for another."

"But the doctors said that I might not be able to get pregnant again." Elsa commented. "Maybe this is a sign?"

"Maybe." William replied. After a moment of both of them contemplating he broke the silence. "We would be changing a young girl's life for the better."

Nodding Elsa replied "It would be the only right thing to do. Besides, we have room, and Hermione would most likely love a sister."

"She absolutely would." William agreed.

Turning back to the office the couple opened the door to find Amy crouched behind it trying to listen in on their conversation. Quickly standing up and smoothing out her dress skirt Amy waited patiently for an answer with an obvious blush. Smiling, Elsa gave the answer her friend was waiting for. "We'll do it."


Danielle "Dani" Fenton was not enjoying the ride through English suburbia with her social worker Amy. Frankly she had no idea how she got herself into this situation, albeit being found sleeping in a box certainly screamed "homeless child" pretty loud. That didn't explain how Amy and her colleague kept on finding her, she would fly away unseen then a hand full of hours later they would find her and drag her back to social services. Dani could appreciate the fact that Amy didn't want to put her into an orphanage, but the tenacity of the woman was even beyond that of most ghosts she knew. Finally Amy sat her down and talked. They didn't talk about anything really, they just talked. It was sometime during the talk that Danielle and Amy struck the deal that if Amy could find a truly trustworthy family Dani would stop running away.

Dani didn't ever think that a week and a half later she would be meeting her first foster family. "Nervous?" Amy asked from the driver's seat.

"Yeah." Dani murmured mentally acknowledging the understatement. This was an entirely new experience for her. Give her monstrous ghosts, crazy "fathers", and almost melting into goop any day. Meeting people who could possibly become her actual parents, without devious motives behind the act, she had no idea how to react. Sad part for her, she couldn't even think to break the promise. Dani figured it had something to do with Danny, her original. Maybe the hero complex was genetic? Even without the promise hanging over her head she had to admit she was curious. Curious on how it felt to have a family, people who would love her that weren't the boy she was cloned from. To be a normal girl, that was a completely foreign idea to the young half-ghost.

Dani was knocked out of her thoughts when Amy said, "We're here." Looking out of the car Dani saw that they were pulling up on a nice looking house with an average looking couple, her prospective parents, standing just outside of their door. She could see soft smiles on both of their faces. As Amy got out of the car to let her out (stupid child locks) Dani could only steel herself for whatever may come. To meet her new parents.
