CHAPTER 6

Harry Potter is copyright to JK Rowling and Danny Phantom is copyright Butch Hartman


Rumours were quick to spread through the entire train that a student named Danny, a ghost boy had single handily fought off a horribly destructive ghost that was attacking students. Of course like all rumours they got bigger and more wild every time you heard them. By the time Danny got off the train there were over 20 different stories circulating around.

Harry and his apparent new friend now stood there waiting for a carriage to come and pick them up. Once one came Danny looked at the large bony, black winged horse like creature that was pulling the carriage.

"Hey what are those things?" Danny asked as he got on and were followed by the others.

The others included the apparently sweet but temperamental Ginny Weasley, the odd and strange Luna Lovegood, the tiny mouse like Creevy Colins and the shy and apparently cowardly Neville Longbottom.

"Threstals" Luna answered, "don't worry we all see them too"

"That's not true I cant see em" Colin complained.

"It's simple really only people who have seen death can see them" Luna answered, "so it's only natural for you to be able see them..being half dead Danny Fenton"

"Half dead" Danny whispered and he fell silent, he never really thought of it that way before.

When they got off the carriages, Danny finally saw Hogwarts castle for the first time. It was huge, bigger then anything he had ever seen before even the ghost kings castle. The castle windows were all lit up, and students were going inside, it was almost somewhat scary but inspiring at the same time. They entered inside and Danny looked around, the entire place was simply amazing.

That's when they heard screams coming up from ahead of them.

"Peeves!!" a women's voice hollered.

"Peeves always pulls pranks on the first years" Ginny said, "he's our resident poltergeist"

"You mean a ghost" Danny said.

"Peeves go away!!" a tall women cried, as she came down the hallway.

A short, fat ghost appeared laughing as he dropped water balloons down onto unexpecting students below which included Danny and company.

Danny recognized the women following Peeves, it was Professor Mcgonnigal.

Professor Mcgonnigal meanwhile watched Peeves laughed obviously enjoying himself. Peeves laughed again as he flew down towards Ginny.

"Where's wee potty?" He cackled and then a hand grabbed him by the shirt.

That hand belonged to Danny, who's angry green eyes were glowing angrily through his wet hair. If Peeves could have, his skin would have paled even more pale then he was now. His cocky smile was replaced suddenly with a look of fright and surprise.

"I don't like getting wet" Danny snapped, "Now leave before I get angry"

With those Peeves took off and phased through the ceiling disappearing. Sighing Mcgonnigal summoned up some towels for the students and they began drying themselves off.

"Ah..Mr Fenton" Mcgonnigal said approaching him.

"That's me" Danny said as he dried his hair off.

"yes well, join the first years we'll have you sorted with them" Mcgonnigal said.

Danny was pushed into a group of younger student, who he towered over surpringly. All eyes were on him, some girls were giggling and whispering under there hands. They all stopped however as they came to the end of the hallway and Professor Mcgonnigal turns towards Danny and the first years.

"Good evening I am Professor Mcgonnigal deputy headmistress of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry" She said, "Now in a moment you'll be taken into the great hall and sorted into your houses. There are 4 houses Gyffendor, Ravenclaw, Slythern and Hufflepuff. While here your houses will be like your family, achievements will be awarded with house points, disobeying the rules will result in loss of points. At the end of the year the points will the totalled up and the house with the most points will win the house cup"

As the speech ended they were lead into the great hall through a pair of giant doors. Danny looked up and the ceiling was occupied by the night sky and candles that floated over each house table. This school so far was pretty amazing, well expect for peeves, dumbledoor had told him Hogwarts was incredibly interesting but this to Danny to simply magnificent.

Mcgonnigal walked up to the stool with a Raggy looking old hat and a scroll, she picked up the scroll and then the hat.

"When I call your name" She said, "Step foreword and I shall place the sorting hat on your head you'll be sorted"

Danny watched a little confused, how could a hat possibly do that could tell what house they were going to be in.

"Abagale Banband" Mcgonnigal said.

A girl stepped foreword and sat on the stool, professor mcgonnigal then placed the hat on her head. The brim then suddenly ripped open and cried out "Ravenclaw"

A loud applause was heard as the girl walked over to the Ravenclaw table. This continued for a few minutes some students took longer then others, while others were sorted right away.

"Daniel Fenton"

Danny took a breath and walked up the stool, he sat down and Mcgonnigal set the sorting hat on his head. All eyes in the hall stared.

"Ah how interesting" The hat said, "Such Bravery, not a bad mind..hmm so you're the one everyone's been going on about..the ghost boy. Yet where to put you?"

"You even consider Slythern and I'll feed you to my ghost dog or worst" Danny said, "Paint you yellow and green, then tell Vlad you're a talking Packers hat"

The sorting hat, making sure to make this one quick cried "Gryffendor!"

The Gryffendor table burst into applause and Danny went over and sat down next to Ginny. The sorting carried on for awhile longer until finally Mcgonnigal stood in front of everyone and started going over rules. The rules however were long and boring and most the kids looked too scared or utterly upset to even care anyway. Danny knew they were probably thinking of all the recent deaths that were reported in the newspapers.

Danny looked away from the other students, they made him even more depressed then he already was.

Finally the feast began, Danny looked over at the teachers table and saw Vlad staring over at him. A fat stubby looking man in a green suit sat next to Vlad apparently trying to have a conversation with him.

"That's professor Slughorn next to Professor Masters" Ginny said, "He's head of slythern and teaches Potions"

"I see Vlads nice and comfy" Danny said and grabbed a chicken wing.

"Good day" a voice said and an English man, wearing old English Shakespeare like clothing approached them, he tilted his head sideways to another ghost passing by. Only a piece of skin kept his head from falling completely off.

"Hello Nick" Ginny said.

"I heard one of the students scared Peeves off" Headless nick said, "But then again he couldn't possibly be here"

"Oh that was me" Danny said.

"Danny this is Nearly Headless Nick the Gryffendor ghost" Ginny said.

"Such an honour to meet you Danny Phantom" Nick said, "It is not everyday you meet the great ghost who defeated the ghost king and saved the world"

"Uh..right" Danny said and as if on cue boxes suddenly fell outta the sky and landed on the tables, splattering food everywhere!

"What in Merlins name?" Slughorn asked as he was splattered by blood pudding.

"BEWARE!!" A voice cried and everyone looked up as a fat blue skinned ghost in overalls appeared in the air. "I am the Box Ghost master of all things square and cardboard!! Fear my square wrath of doom!!"

There was silence for a moment and then everyone in the great hall cracked up laughing. Even straight faced Mcgonnigal let out a chuckle.

"Do not laugh I shall defeat you all using the possessions of:" Box Ghost said and looked at the trunks floating around him, "V.M!!"

He then hurled the luggage towards the students.

"Immobolise!" Danny shouted stopping the luggage in midair.

"You the ghost boy who locks me within the cylinder container!!" The box ghost cried as Danny lowered his wand.

"Look im gonna make this fast:" Danny said transformed as he flew up into the air, theorems in hand.

The box ghost then hurled more luggage at Danny which he easily blasted, yellow and green boxers were sent flying everywhere. A white cat then came flying out as well, it cried out and fell ontop of a young slytherns head and clung on. The boy screamed started running around.

Cujo who had been laying under a table, chewing on a bone some kid dropped heard the cat and started chasing the slythern boy and the cat.

"Maddie!!" Vlad cried and soon he was chasing after cujo, who was chasing after the cat, who was clinging to the slythern boy, who was trying to get the cat off.

Danny quickly sucked the box ghost into the theorems and began chasing down Cujo right behind Vlad. He then jumped foreword grabbed cujo, and maddie leaped off the slythern boy and into Vlads arm.

"What in Blazes is going on!!" A voice boomed and they all looked over to see a tall pale man standing up from the middle of the teachers table. He had a large nose, long face and chin length greasy looking black hair. The man wore black robes and they made him gothic.

"Who or what is that?" Danny asked flying lower towards Vlad.

"Our new headmaster..Serveous Snape" Vlad growled.

Vlad had never liked Snape, he was about as pleasant as being torn apart piece by piece. Also Vlad was not a fan of death eaters of any kind and sure he was evil but committing the genocide that Voldemort was doing now was just beyond evil. Oh yes Vlad had figured it out, he after all had morals, as surprising as that may sound.

"Professor Masters would you kindly explain what the blazes is going on?" Snape snapped loudly.

"Um well..uh..getting my cat" Vlad said.

"Uh.." Danny said and seeing Snapes eyes roll to him, "catching an evil ghost?"

"My office Mr.Fenton after dinner!" Snape snapped.

Danny realized then everyone was watching, he guessed they had all read the daily prophet and heard the rumours from the train.

Professor Mcgonnigal walked down the hallway, behind her Danny Fenton followed. She sighed, this boy was going to be trouble.

"Professor Snape isn't very nice im guessing" Danny said, "Sorry for causing you so much trouble"

Mcgonnigal looked back at Danny, Albus had invited her to his home and asked her to teach the boy transfiguration. At first she was hesitant but the boy was without a dout pleasant and reminded her of Potter. Danny was nice, but distance at the same time and yet both had tragic pasts.

"Professor Snape is not the easiest person to get along with" Mcgonnigal said, "Do keep your temper in check with him Mr.Fenton"

"Fine but don't blame me if he suddenly disappears" Danny said as they approached the Pheonix statue.

"Baslisk venom" Mcgonnigal said and the Phoenix moved aside revealing a path of stairs heading up. "Knock before you enter"

Danny walked up staircase until he came to a door. He knocked and the door swung open. Walking inside Danny felt like he was walking into a tomb as everything was dark and only the fireplace was giving off a tad bit of light. Straight ahead Danny saw Snape sitting Dumbledoors old chair, at Dumbledoors old desk and with a smug look of cleverness over his face as he looked at Danny. He noticed that he had a tea set with moving kittens upon the pieces sitting on the desk.

"Mr.Fenton" Snape growled.

"Mr.Fenton finally we meet" A voice said and the tall red chair in front snapes desk turned around to reveal a stubby fat women that resembled a toad in a pink blouse with matching skirt and curly brown hair, sitting in the chair. In one hand she held a teacup and the kitten gave a loud meow as she set it down.

"I thought I came here for a lecture" Danny said.

"Oh yes you will be punished Mr.Fenton" Snape said with a snarl of disgust, "But Miss Umbridge just happened to show up suddenly"

"Yes..iv come to determine your blood status" Umbridge said, "My name is.."

"I know who you are" Danny said, "Iv seen you, in the newspapers and let me say┘im not impressed with yer so called work. It's racist"

"Racist oh no we need to cleanse the wizarding world from those who are a danger to us Mr.Fenton" Umbridge said and Danny noticed her hands were trembling slightly.

Snape shivered slightly, as soon as Fenton stepped into the room it became cold. Merlin he hated ghosts, already the boy had made a mockery of him on the first day.

"Let us get started usually this would be done in the ministry but I think Headmaster Snape is enough protection"

"Protection?" Danny asked laughing, "scared of ghosts umbridge?"

"Who are your parents?" Umbridge asked as Danny sat down and Umbridge got ready to write down answers on parchment.

"Jack and Madeline Fenton" Danny answered.

"Ahuh" Umbridge said, "And where did you squire your magic from mr.fenton?"

"Acquired?" Danny asked, "From my grand parents Alexander and Marabel Cambridge if that's what you mean"

"Your mother was a squib?" Umbridge asked.

"Mom was a squib, grandma was a squib and my great-grandmother and great-grandfather" He said, "My family had a long line of squibs"

"And would you explain your abnormality" Umbridge said.

"Say that again" Danny growled standing up suddenly his eyes glowing bright green, Umbridge gave a shout and raised her wand.

"don't you think of using your freakish powers against me!!" Umbridge snapped.

"Im leaving" Danny said and stormed towards the door.

Vlad was down in the hall meanwhile when Danny came down the staircase and into the hallway. He looked angry and tense, Daniel started walking and Vlad followed.

"Detention?" Vlad asked.

"Worst Umbridge" Danny said, "something about blood status"

"Ah yes I met her absolutely terrified of me" Vlad said, "She's scared of half breeds you my boy"

"Half breeds?" Danny asked. "Well that would explain why she acts like a nervous wreck around me and actually thought Snape could protect her"

"The ministry has been infiltrated by the enemy Daniel" Vlad said, "Don't speak openingly about this"

"And here I thought you'd be on his side" Danny said.

"Another thing don't say his name anymore it's jinxed" Vlad said, "Now yet back to the Gyrffendor common room, I dout you need a password"

"Neither do you" Danny said and walked up the staircase only to have it move annoyed, he transformed and flew towards the portrait of the fat lady.

There he found Ginny Weasly outside waiting for him.

"Password is gillyweed" Ginny said and the portrait swung open.

"Thanks" Danny said.
