Valerie was lounging on Danny's bed, looking over the letter he received as Danny sent his one word response. "So… Hogwarts, where's that?" She asked, curiosity getting the better of her. Danny couldn't help but flinch at the question; not quite sure how to answer the question. "A really…" He paused. "exclusive school in England."
It was obvious that Valerie didn't buy it. "Okay, then why does an 'Exclusive school in England' have someone celebrating their 500th Death Day?" It took all Danny's self control to keep himself from hitting himself over the head with something as he realized the mistake he made. He sighed, giving up slightly. "I'd tell you if I could, Val."
Before she could continue the interrogation, Jack busted into the room. "Danny! I saw the owl, what's going on?" He questioned. Jack was the one in the family who actually grew up in the wizarding world, which was the reason he was so into ghosts, the only 'magical' entity he was allowed to talk about to Muggles.
With practiced skill, Danny quickly thought of an excuse. "It was a letter from Sam and Tucker…" His dad was going to question the owl when Danny cut him off, continuing his explanation. "They're going to Hogwarts." He finished, feeling like he was digging himself into a hole with this lie.
"They're wizards?" he questioned, obviously not noticing Valerie still sitting in the room with them. Again, the urge to hit himself was hard to stop. "Y-yeah dad, I'm going to go visit them, so I gotta get to packing." Danny told him as he shoved his dad out of his room. The 'good for you, son' was still easily heard from the other side of the door. After they heard Jack walk away, Danny slowly turned back to his friend.
Valerie's mind was blown. The look on her face would have sent him into hysterics if it wasn't for the problem his dad had unknowingly made. "What… What did he mean by wizard?" Valerie asked.
Before he could answer her, the owl was back with another letter and a single glove. Assuming the glove was the portkey, Danny grabbed the new letter.
Danny Fenton/Phantom
Smallest Bedroom
Fenton Works
Amity Park
Illinois
Dear Sir Fenton/Phantom
You truly have no idea the excitement the news of your acceptance has caused here at the school. We would also like to extend the invitation to the other ghost hunter in your group, Miss Valerie Gray. Only if she knows of your… condition, which puts you under the title of Magical Creature, that is. The glove that came with the letter is the portkey, grab onto it when you are ready.
Danny could only stare at the letter, before a smile broke out across his face. "I'll explain as we head over to your house, we need to pack." He tossed her the new letter, which she quickly picked up and read for herself. "Okay, but I want to know everything."

Sam was heading down to potions class with Tucker, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The golden trio kept asking questions about Danny non-stop, which Sam and Tucker tried answering to the best of their abilities without giving away too much.
"Okay, last question, I promise." Harry told her. Sam was sure this was just the last question until after class, which they were right outside of. She nodded. "Alright, shoot."
"What did the ghosts mean by 'Savior of the Ghost Zone'?" He asked. Sam sighed and Tucker laughed, they both were slightly surprised that question hadn't come up earlier. "A couple years ago, all of Amity Park-" "Our home town." Tucker cut in. "Yeah, our home town, was sucked into the Ghost Zone. The one who sent our town there was working for the Ghost King, Pariah dark." As she finished explaining, Tucker sighed, holding out his PDA, which he still kept on him at all times. "I'd show you guys some really cool picks of that time, but…" He held it out showing that it still couldn't work.
"What was wrong with… the Ghost King." Hermione asked, changing the subject when she remembered what Tucker was like during their first year, when he first learned that his PDA couldn't work in Hogwarts. Sam rolled her eyes, "He was evil, duh."
The golden trio, plus the two Americans, couldn't help but laugh at how blunt Sam's response was. The five of them entered the dungeon class, excited for tomorrow.

Danny had explained everything he knew about the Wizarding World to her as Valerie ran around her room packing. She told her dad that she was going on an important hunt with Phantom and she wasn't sure how long she would be gone. He tried putting up a fight, unfortunately for him his only excuse for her not going was school, but Casper High was destroyed the week before during a fight with Technus and wouldn't be reopened for a couple months. Damon finally gave up and allowed his daughter go on the trip.
The two flew back to Fenton works, Valerie couldn't hide her excitement, the whole story sounded farfetched, but then so did the possibility of Danny's powers, after learning of ghosts and half-ghosts, wizards weren't that hard to rap her mind around. She looked over at her friend, chuckling as she remembered how annoyed he was by the fact that he was seen as a 'magical creature' by the magical government.
Her excitement was dulled when she remembered something from earlier, confusion washing over her face. "Hey Danny, do Sam and Tucker really go to this school?" she asked as they reached his bedroom window. "Well…" He paused as he changed back into Fenton, landing in the middle of the room. "I had to think of a reason for going to Hogwarts that didn't completely blow my secret." He sighed, grabbed his stuff and walked over to the owl that was sitting on top of his desk. "I'm kind of hoping my dad will forget before they come back." He laughed slightly.
"Anyways, are you ready?" Danny asked. Nodding, Valerie headed over to the owl. "You have your ghost hunting equipment, don't you?" Danny asked, already knowing the answer. "When don't I" She laughed, pulling the straps of her backpack. "Remember, there will be ghosts all around Hogwarts. So don't attack every ghost we see." Valerie just brushed him off, shaking her hand. "I know, I know. While were there I'll be a perfect little girl. This is for emergencies."
Danny sighed, but handed her the thermos. "You're probably right, can you hold onto this?" She smirked at the fact that she just pretty much won and took the thermos, placing it into her bag with the other equipment.
"Okay. Now how does this work." She questioned, pointing at the glove. "We just touch it and it will take us where we need to go." Danny explained. Valerie could only stare. "What? How?" her mind going blank at the simplicity of the description she was given.
Danny just smirked at his friend. "Magic, Val." He said simply, as they both grabbed the glove.
Okay, I couldn't help, but get this out as soon as possible. :3
I'm really excited to start this story. It's gonna be during the second book, just so you guys know. And yes, I wanted Valerie to go as well.
Well, anyways, I hope you guys like the chapter.
Please Review. I need them to Survive.
