I know that the last chapter was quite short, but short is sweet and I found that Boxy's entrance as pretty good.

Anywho, on with the story.

HARRY

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron asked, looking around at the others as they al stared at the door as it shut behind them as Danny Fenton walked ever so calmly through it. He had facepalmed as the muggle ghost had spotted him, shouted a single word and shot through the wall, groaning as if in annoyance.

"Better question," Harry anwered, "How did Danny know that he was coming? He didn't look that alert when Nick came to tell him earlier, in fact, he had groaned as if he knew that one just now. Okay, since we were interrupted by that ghost, I think we may as well leave it there. The usual Galleons will heat up again at some point during the next week. Keep them with you during classes."

Seamus shrugged and said, "Look, I don't know if this is any use, but it looked like that ghost is a regular annoyance. If anything, they must see a lot of him to know when he's coming to their town."

"But why won't he tell us where he's from?" Ron asked the sandy-haired Gryffindor who shrugged and answered, "Maybe he doesn't want us to know. Reason why I never told about my american friend and his parents being goofballs."

"You never mentioned a friend from America." Dean piped up, Seamus shrugging as they moved to the door as he said, "I never thought to mention it until now. He had to move back to Illinois some years ago though. His family were only here for two years and we were young, so I doubt he'd remember. He seemed to hate the shorter version of his name though."

"Danny seemed to know your name when we found him at the lake and you'd come up to us afterwards." Hermione observed as the small group of Gryffindors moved through the crowd of students, and started to walk back to the Common Room as Seamus froze and looked down, muttering, "But I never told him my name. How'd he know what I was called?"

"I'm sure he was told it by someone or he must have heard it from one of us when we were talking." Someone piped up as Seamus shrugged and said, "I don't know. Maybe he did. But even he would be stumbling over names, he's just come from America and he seems to know everyones name."

That revelation silenced even Hermione as a black and white blur came flying past them from a hidden hallway and down the corridor as shouts started up in that direction, shortly followed by a loud yell of "BEWARE!", shortly followed by a yell, a thud as if something had crashed to the floor and a flash of light and a groan which was followed up with,"BOXY!"

"Why do I get the feeling that Peeves is going to be here shortly. He's usually around for chaotic things like this." Hermione groaned as Danny huffed and came around the corner, looking dangerously as he was earlier. His eyes seemed to be glowing in fury as he growled and stalked away to the stairs, hands lurking near the thermos on his hip and gun, as if he were on the hunt and wanting to be left alone as Harry started walking with him to the stairs and grabbed his arm, asking when Danny lifted his eyes to his, "You ok?"

"Standard question there, mate." Was the grunt as Danny jerked his arm out of the slight grip and walked down the stairs. Sighing as he came to a stop, Danny turned his head to look back at them and said, "I get asked that question a lot back home that it's actually become really annoying. I can't count the number of times that my friends have asked me that."

"They'll be worried." Hermione said, walking up and leading the way down the stairs that the hunter had been headed as she added, "We can show you the way if you tell us who that ghost was and why you were so calm about it, instead of-"

"Going out, all guns blazin'?" Danny feigned a southern accent and tipped an imaginary stetson hat before he rolled his eyes at the assumption before switching back to his usual as he added, "That's my parent's job. Besides, Boxy's not that scary. He's actually just that bit annoying. His obssession is anything square and carboard with just that bit of bubblewrap thrown in. He breaks out of the Ghost Zone at least nine times a day. I'm actually really surprised that he managed to find Hogwarts."

"What's he doing here if he's supposed to be in that place?" Harry asked as the other raven-haired teen shrugged and looked ahead as if he could sense something and muttered under his breath as they walked to the Great Hall, where there was yelling and even a girly scream. Stopping dead as they reached the grand staircase, Danny seemed to turn paler than usual as they watched students, who had been studying in the large room, come running out and scattering as maniacal laughter sounded.

"Oh, please not the Pandora Box again." Danny said to himself as Snape came running out and up to the staircase, saw him and shouted to sort the ghost out as he ran past, greasy hair flying as the teens watched him go past before looking at Danny, only to find that he was missing and crashes and bangs were issuing from the Great Hall as the new ghost shouted something and a low voice answered in a tired voice.

"You do realise that Umbridge will be finding out about this, right?" someone moaned as a bowl came flying out into the Entrance, causing a few screams from the students still in the Hall and a ghost to fly off into the Hall as something else crashed in the rafters, just as Phantom's voice said, "Seriously, one week away is all I'm wanting."

"A Halfa can never get a week away from me, for I am the Box Ghost!" Came another voice, trying and failing to sound intimidating as Hermione and Harry looked to each other as cursing sounded from the large room, just as Ron asked, "What the bloody hell is a Halfa?"

Just as Hermione started to shrug, Phantom came flying out backwards and slammed into the wall opposite and glared daggers into the Hall and at the ghostly opponent and flew back in, leaving the DA Gryffindors staring as a shout and a flash erupted from the soorway and all sounds ceased, leaving a blissful silence and a flash came from the door and Danny came walking out with a thermos in one of his hands, slightly wincing and holding his side with his free hand as he walked back to the gathered group.

"Please tell me you didn't hear all that." He said, looking past them and into the hallway as footsteps came from behind them all and Danny motioned for them to move with him as he moved away from the scene.

"It was kind of hard to. Phantom and that ghost were shouting at each other like they would be where you live." Harry commented smiling as Danny laughed lightly and shook his head, saying,"That'll happen when Boxy's being a fucking idjit."

The curse that streamed from his mouth seemed so alien coming from the Americans mouth as he hurried dwn the hallway, seeming to know where he was going, considering he didn't know whereabouts he was in the castle. Harry noticed this and began to pay attention where they were headed and saw that they were in some area of the castle that they had ever been before as Hermione spoke up and asked, "Danny, do you know where we are?"

"And what the bloody hell is a Halfa?" Ron asked, neither of them expecting the reaction from the hunter as he spun around and pinned a yelping Ron against the wall, growling as he asked, "Where did you hear that term?"
