Harry paced the Gryffindor Common Room in worry as he waited for Danny to come back from America, hopefully with his friends and sister. It had been going on at least two hours since they had winced from Sam's shouting and Fenton had turned into Phantom, shocking not only Hermione and Ron but also Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall.
Chewing his lip, he saw the embers of the fireplace light up and Sirius' face appeared amidst a flurry of green flames. Kneeling down as the face cleared its throat, Harry forced a smile as Sirius greeted him then asked, "Alright, what's bugging you, Harry?"
"How could you tell?" Harry asked, looking up and around the Room before looking back as a sigh came from Sirius before, "Call it a Godfather's intuition, but you were actually biting your lip just now. Is it that toad, Umbridge?"
"No, it's not Umbridge." Harry replied, "It's something else."
"Then, what is it? You're obviously worried about something."
Sighing, Harry sat down and began telling Sirius all that had happened within the past few days, starting from Danny's arrival to Hogwarts, what had brought him to the castle, how he had obviously been too muggle to recognise Harry Potter as who he was, telling the elder how a ghost who was so different from the school ghosts had appeared yet seemed to be able to disappear and appear like the rest of them but was so different from them all. He explained how he and Hermione had been curious about how a kid named Danny Fenton had been able to come without anyone noticing and where he had come from. He got to where Peeves had slipped something then hesitated, not knowing how to relate the rest to his Godfather, instead falling silent as a thoughtful look came onto the wizarding fugitive as he nodded.
"That's not all of the story, though, is it?"
Shaking his head, Harry continued, "A few hours ago, Danny and Phantom heard that their friends were in danger. Apparently, they'd gone on a camping trip for the Easter holidays and Voldemort had found them, wanting to know where Phantom was. Danny became worried and now he's gone back to America to see about getting his friends to Hogwarts. He's been gone since."
"And you're worried?" Sirius' face became serious as Harry nodded slowly. Sighing, Sirius looked down into the flames on his side and closed his eyes as Harry waited for his response. Footsteps sounded as Ron came down and saw Harry sitting in front of the fire and walked over, sitting down and greeting the head as Sirius nodded before he said, "By the sounds of things, this Phantom is protective of Danny Fenton and his friends. The best thing I can really say is to wait and see what happens and if Danny and his friends get to Hogwarts safely. Dumbledore hasn't roused the Order nor has he called a meeting, so the best thing I can advise is to just hope for the best. It seems like you've made powerful friends in both Danny Fenton and Phantom, Harry, Ron."
Sighing, Sirius closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose before he added, "Go back to bed, you two. I'm sure that Danny and his friends will be safe."
-Amity Park-
Looking out at the group of weirdly dressed masked people, Sam couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering when Danny or even this 'Harry' person were going to get here. She'd screamed into the Phones not even two hours ago, and Danny could be fast when he wanted to be. Looking down at her friends and classmates, she heard whispering about the cold and shivered, gaining the attention of Tucker as he smiled tightly and whispered, "Any sign of Danny?"
"None," Sam whispered back, "Or even this Harry person? He said that he was a student at the school where Danny's staying."
"What I want to know is why Danny left the Phones lying around in the first place." Jazz hissed, joining in the smaller teen's conversation as one of the men, or women, started towards them, only to be pushed back by a stream of red light and fall over, the Amity Parkians looking around their campsite as the people in front of them raised sticks and aimed them at the woods behind the group of holidaymakers. Streams of light, coupled with bangs and sometimes explosions, came after the first as screams filled the air, all of the city-goers ducking under the lights as the strangers tried to pinpoint where the blasts were coming from, burying their heads in their arms as their ghost training took over finally.
"King of all Ghosts! Come out and face your master!" Snake-man shouted, Sam shouting out as she was dragged into the no man's land of the field, the red streams of lights stopping for a second before green entered into the picture. An agonisingly familiar green ray hit the man on the shoulder as Phantom entered the visible spectrum, looking very dangerous indeed. His aura was burning bright and the look on his face was one of pure rage as his hair whipped about his face.
Relief flooded through Sam as he floated to the floor, his fist clenched, looked in her direction and sent a small grin her way as a woman ran over to the citizens and spirited them all away from the ruined campsite, a silvery light speeding away as they disappeared.
"I think the term you're looking for is: Phantom, Jerkface."
-Danny-
"So, how are we going to get everyone to safety?" Danny asked, looking at Tonks as she looked down with a thoughtful face and shrugged, answering, "The only way I can think of is for you to reveal yourself to Voldemort. Or even getting the rest of the Order here, but that could take too long."
"There has to be another way, though. I don't really like the idea of revealing myself as Phantom, just yet. Or revealing yours and Harry's world either."
"You'd risk your town's fate just for a secret world?" Tonks asked, raising an eyebrow as the boy smirked, shaking his head and answering, "This is my town, Tonks, I'd gladly reveal who I am if they were in danger in a heartbeat. I'm just not entirely sure if you're ready to reveal your world to them."
"That's something we'll have to discuss later, Daniel Fenton." Tonks sighed, crossing her arms and looking out as she added, "Right now, we need to focus on getting everyone to safety. I can maybe get a few spells and hexes in, but you would have to reveal yourself to your people at some point."
"Bring it on," Danny said, smirking as he allowed his eyes to glow a brighter green as he held out a hand, Tonks taking it just before he turned intangible and fled the seen world before they stepped out into the clearing, Danny sent them both out of the visible spectrum as they emerged out into the campsite, Tonks preparing her wand and shooting the first spell as Danny shut up and concentrated on keeping them both invisible as the Death Eaters tried to figure out where the first shot had come from as they moved around, Tonks firing off more of the red lights, his townspeople's ghost training finally kicking in as they ducked and covered their heads, some of them screaming as they went down to the ground.
Someone from the crowd was dragged literally into the middle of the no man's land and held at wand-point and shouted, "King of all Ghosts! Come out and face your master!"
"Sam," Danny whispered, looking for the source of the shouting, Tonks looking at his silhouette before his hand shot out and an ectoblast shot out, hitting them on the shoulder, Danny lowering the Auror to the floor and leaving her to get everyone out, flying off to the middle, reappearing in front of the Death Eaters, his aura flaring dangerously.
"I think the term you're looking for is: Phantom, Jerkface." Danny hissed, a silvery light flying off as his hands lit up with green energy.

Καλά Χριστούγεννα και ευτυχισμένο το νέο έτος. Mery Christmas and a Happy New Year, my friends.
Well, shit.
I don't update for a long time and this is what comes of my mind! Can I just say, the Death Eaters are in for it now? They threatened Danny's townspeople and his friends and family, so they're basically fucked.
Sneaky peek at the next chapter:
"DANIEL JACK FENTON! Don't you EVER do something so stupid again, Little Brother."
