Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Papa Roach or Harry Potter.
Fruit's Note: This came from the thought, "What if before Danny can capture Dan, the Nasty Burger blew up?" Then along came the thought, "Harry Potter is funny… Hey! Let's make a crossover!" And this is the end result of DP/HP crossover. There's a reason this is in the DP section. It's because Danny will be the main character and the main focus (might be a small POV change, though)
Fruit's Other Note: Apparently, songfics aren't allowed on this webpage, although about 25724 stories contain them. Therefore, the chapter name will be after a song that I based the chapter on. This is NO LONGER a songfic. Thank you.
To FantomoDrako who dared to review my story…
Your first question is answered in this chapter. Yes, Danny is alive, or else the story wouldn't go on. I wrote as if Danny and Phantom are separate because that helps the plot of the story/it's one of my theories of DP. I'm soooooooooooooooo sorry if that confused you. But thank you for reviewing! Luv ya!
To pisces93 who dared to suggest a title…
Thanks! That sounds really good. I'll post that up asap. And thank you for reviewing! Luv ya too!
One/Take Me
Danny awoke to a silence room. He was sure he heard Jazz's voice calling to him to wake up. But that couldn't be. This wasn't his room.
He blinked twice before really taking in the room. A small white room with a window and white curtains at the side, the door shut, and him on a bed with a small drawer and flower vase on top, filled with daisies.
At first he couldn't remember, for the life of him, why he was here or what had happened. But it all came back in a rush, glad to fill him in. clockworks, the necklace, CAT, cheating, Dan, future, but mostly the explosion.
Danny wanted to rip his hair out. How was it that he was still alive? He was supposed to die so he never became Dan! He didn't want to kill anyone! But instead of ripping his hair out, since his arms hurt, he screamed.
The windows rattled and broke, the small drawer fell forward, crashing the vase and the flower, and the whole room seemed to shake under the boy's frustrated scream. The door opened but whoever opened it fell to the ground, writhing, clutching his ears.
Danny finally tired and stopped screaming. He wanted to turn over to his stomach, so he can cry on the pillow, but his chest hurt so much… Why was he still alive?
He looked around, searching for his ghost companion. But he didn't see Phantom anywhere. Where did he go? Danny wondered. Where?
"I see someone's awake," grumbled a voice.
The person who had fell to the ground before slowly stood up. Cautious this time.
Danny's eyes widened.
It was Vlad Masters.
"Whua-what are you doing here?! Trying to steal mom-" Danny stopped when he remembered. His mother was dead. His throat clogged.
"Now, now, Daniel. You need rest. Go back to sleep," Vlad said, trying to sound soothing. Strange as it was, it was working well.
But Danny couldn't go back to sleep just yet. "Vlad, what happened? Why are you here? Why aren't I dead? Where's my ghost? What happened?"
The blue eyes of the young teen looked at Vlad hopefully. Does he think I hold the answer to everything? Vlad wondered momentarily.
He sighed. "I don't really know exactly everything that had happened. All I heard was that there was an explosion at the Nasty Burger and you were found near there, bleeding from the chest. The doctors assume that you were hit by the explosion and- don't worry about your blood sampling, I took care of-"
Vlad would've continued on if not for the fact that Danny had dozed off while he was speaking. He sighed. Such a young child, given such a great responsibility he thought. Is this really fair of me?
Two hours ago, far deep in the Ghost Zone, where Clockwork resided, panic filled the place.
"This wasn't supposed to happen!" the Observer screamed. "You were supposed to stop this from happening!"
Clockwork rolled his eyes. "Oh puh-lease. You never do anything but observe. I'll take care of it."
"That's the same you said before but look where we ended up!" the other Observer growled.
"Wow," Clockwork said, sarcastically, "you sure observed that well."
The two Observers gathered and began to whisper furiously to each other. Clockwork felt an ominous dread growing. Perhaps he should have interfered. Perhaps he should've spared the ghost child.
"We decided," the Observer said, coming to face Clockwork, "that you are no longer worthy of our time."
Clockwork's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?! I'm the only time manager in the whole Ghost Zone! You can't fire me!"
The Observers shook their heads. "You're quite wrong about that. You may be the only time manager in the Ghost Zone, but in the human world…"
"No! You can't! You can't do that! You'll destroy the whole time sequence! You'll ruin the world! Do you not see what you're about to do?!" Clockwork cried. He knew the Observers were stupid but to go down this low…?
"Well then, you should've done a better job," the Observer clicked. Then they glided away, leaving Clockwork to stare blankly behind them.
"They'll doom the time sequence," Clockwork mumbled. "I need help."
His eyes landed upon his mirror, where a young Danny Fentom slept, undisturbed, unknowing.
"I'm sorry."
Vlad looked at him, his mouth agape as if he was a fish. Danny found the thought amusing. Fishie Vlad. That's one for the newspaper, he thought.
Of course, the fact that he and Vlad was talking was yet another one for the newspaper… not that anyone would care to read about Danny's life story.
Danny had just finished telling the story of the explosion of the Nasty Burger. Although he altered it a bit, especially about Vlad's future, Vlad seemed to believe him. And even thought it sounded like a stupid idea, Danny even told about the suicide!
After a few minutes, Vlad finally mastered himself… not really. He looked sickly pale and nervous about something. But that couldn't be. Vlad was never nervous.
"So… what you're saying to me is that you tried to suicide but somehow ended up here… without your ghost?"
"Uh… yeah," Danny said. I would think that was obvious since I said, "I tried to suicide but I somehow ended up here without my ghost."
"Why? You know something about this?"
Vlad gulped. "Well… the thing is…" he sighed. "Daniel, there was another ghost child. Her name… well, I suppose that's not important right now. She… she was under my mentorship for a while, but… You see, Daniel, her ghost side fell in love with another ghost. Her ghost side forced her to committed suicide. So that her human self would die but the ghost part will continue living with that other ghost."
Danny blinked. "By any chance, do I know this ghost?"
"Er… Kitty."
Danny's eyes widened. Kitty? Of all the ghosts! "Oh… so what does that have to do with me?"
Vlad smacked his forehead. "Well, Daniel, now I see why your grades are so terrible. This has to do with you because when the ghost side committed suicide, it continues to live. You tried to commit suicide and you continue to live! Do you understand?"
Danny nodded. That made sense. But that didn't mean he liked it. Phantom gone forever? But Phantom had become a part of him! How could he just… leave? And where did ghosts go when they 'die?'
Vlad took a deep breath. Here came the hard part…
"Daniel, Jack left a will. Apparently, you have an uncle…"
"Aunt Alicia got remarried?" Danny asked blankly.
"… in England."
Danny blinked. "I have an uncle in England?"
"Yes. And Jack wants you to move in with him."
An uncle in England? But how was he to get there? He was but a teen!
"And your mother asked me to fund you to get there and supervise until I see fit."
Danny groaned. Gods no! The worst possible outcome! But then he stopped. No, I suppose the worst one will be if dad asked me to live with Vlad. He shuddered. Then it'll end up too much like the future.
"So who's my lucky uncle?" Danny asked.
"Well… the will says that his name is Potter. Harry Potter."
