Danny watched Dumbledore's funeral from afar as King Danny Phantom. The castle ghosts and Wulf were with him. A few students noticed him but they didn't interact. Once the ceremony was over the castle ghosts dispersed and Wulf returned to the Ghost Zone. Danny had set a council in place to run things while he was busy. He had gone through Walker's rule book and legally revoked any stupid rules while making it official that aiding Voldemort was illegal, as was killing a human being. Frostbite, Dora, Pandora, Wulf and his family and friends were his council. Graduation was next week but it hardly registered with Danny. He would be graduating with his friends. Jazz would be home from college, she was studying psychology. His birthday was around the same time.

He'd take the time to grieve for his lost friend and ally, Albus Dumbledore. The man had taught him so much, given him so much. Without Dumbledore's offer to join the order, Danny didn't know if he would have ever told his parents about himself. Without the order needing him, he doubted he would have ever looked to become Ghost King. Without Dumbledore sending Lupin to Amity Park, Danny would have been kissed by those dementors. It felt like a lifetime ago. Dumbledore taught him occlumency and Esperanto.

Once he'd taken that week for himself, he'd go and meet Snape and begin his journey as Fenton into Voldemort's ranks. He floated high up in the air, gazing at the white tomb which held Dumbledore. The words the little wizard said hadn't covered how wonderful that man had been. And no one even knew how brave Dumbledore had been. He'd been the only one who knew, that hadn't freaked out over his death. He was Danny and Snape's rock for the last year. Danny was the last to leave the funeral.

Danny returned to Amity Park the next day. He told his family that Dumbledore had died but didn't tell them the circumstances. They spent that evening in solemnity out of respect for the elderly wizard they had all come to know and respect. Danny returned to Casper High for the final week, producing all his work with Miss Fisher and actually achieving very good grades. His classmates bombarded him with questions about his time in the boarding school out of state. Danny described Hogwarts for anyone who asked and told them of the teachers there, neglecting what to tell people what they taught or lying if asked. They asked him why he returned to Casper High. He merely told them that he wanted to graduate with his friends in Casper High and so transferred back.

The graduation ceremony was elaborate and long. Danny hardly listened to the valedictorian speech. He was starting to focus on his next move. Convincing Voldemort he was a Death Eater. Snape had questioned Danny extensively and they came up with the perfect reason and back story. Snape taught Danny to make memories so that when Voldemort eventually probed his mind for any potential deceit, Danny could provide a convincing fake memory instead. They'd also placed numerous duelling spells on Danny's wand and practiced that too. Danny felt ready for this. After graduation, Danny turned to his family and decided he needed to return to his role in the war. At least now he wouldn't have to see Miss Fisher regularly. They also celebrated his eighteenth birthday together.

He bid his family and friends farewell, lingering a second longer with Sam. He hadn't forgotten what he smelt in Slughorn's potions lesson. The love potion with Sam's perfume. He considered admitting his feelings but immediately pushed down that idea. It wasn't fair. He was going to fight in the war in Britain. He mightn't come back. Voldemort might kill him before he could teleport to safety if he got caught as a spy. He hadn't told his family what he was going to do. They still didn't know about that snake bite or ectoplasm cleaning spell. They never heard of how Danny was ambushed and nearly killed by Voldemort's ghosts. They wouldn't understand and it would frighten them unnecessarily if he told them what he was going to do.

With one last comforting smile to his loved ones, Danny teleported to Grimmauld Place. He quickly shifted his forms and waited for Snape. The wizard emerged from number twelve Grimmauld Place an hour later. Danny raised a surprised eyebrow. He walked over and waited for the wizard a few feet away from the doorstep.

"Was it really a good idea to break in to Harry's house?" Danny asked softly. Snape shrugged and showed Danny a torn picture of a red head woman with a broad smile, Lily Potter.

"I just needed to have this. Now that I'm the enemy, I'm not going to be able to come back and look at it," Snape admitted. Danny nodded.

"I'm sure Harry would understand," Danny whispered. Snape smiled stiffly.

"How did it go with the order?" Snape inquired.

"Swimmingly. No one knows about us. Harry especially. Did a show worthy of Broadway with Remus for him. Fenton has left the order," Danny answered. Snape sighed and nodded.

"So you're taking me to Voldemort tonight, right?" Danny reminded the wizard. Snape frowned.

"You're sure about this? It's not too late to change your mind. You can say you couldn't find the Dark Lord," Snape offered. Danny shook his head.

"I've made up my mind Severus. I made it the moment I asked for your help. I've been considering this for a year now," Danny confessed. Snape pursed his lips and nodded.

Snape held out a hand to Danny and Danny took it. Danny could only teleport and that looked a lot different to apparating. If Danny had to apparate anywhere, he would need to get Snape to help or teleport somewhere nearby and say he missed his mark. They weren't going to go against what Dumbledore set in place two years ago. Danny could always feign being useless at magic. Snape glanced at Danny one last time before spinning on the spot and both spies disappeared from the dark square.

Everything is in place but will Voldemort be convinced. After all Fenton is or rather was an order member.

Let me know what you think.

Until the next chapter.
