Me: Welcome to chapter four!
Dani: See what we have in store!
Danny: Why do you rhyme?
Me: Because it's it's not a crime!
Dani: Silence! It's storytime!
Danny woke up and saw a present on his dresser. He looked at the tag.
To Danny
I noticed that you have gotten your letter. All is right on track. I'm giving this to you as it is rightfully yours. It chose you beforehand. And as for the key that is with it, use this for when you go to Gringotts today. It goes to your vault, which has more than enough wizarding money to last you a thousand lifetimes. I sent Samantha and Tucker's wands to them already. For them I had to handcraft their wands. Your wand was made in the Ghost Zone, out of pure magical energy and ectoplasm. It's very old, yet you are it's first owner, as well as its last. I must tell you to keep the fact about your wand's origin to yourself and your team.
Take care and may time be on your side.

Danny smiled and opened the box. Inside was a green key with his symbol on it and his wand. It was toxic green with a black handle. He looked at the wand closer to see that it also revealed part of the ghost zone wherever it went. As he picked up the wand, a swirl of energy went through him. His eyes glowed green, then white, then went back to normal. He got out of bed and dressed himself. Then he made a duplicate, which transformed. Then he woke up Dani.
"Morning." She mumbled as she made her duplicate.
"Morning, cuz. Guess what."
"What?"
"Clockwork confirmed that the letter was the real thing."
"How do you know it was Clocky?"
"Only team Phantom knows him personally. Besides, he handwrites everything." Danny smirked, his duplicate doing the same. Dani smiled.
"Did he send you a wand?"
"Yeah." He pulls the wand out of his pocket.
"Cool."
"I also have a vault and the key to it." He added, holding his key. "Do you want to come with Sam, Tucker, and I?"
"Sure, but if I get hungry, I'm placing it on your tab."
"Sure, go ahead. Since I apparently have a vault, which is filled up with wizard money."
"Cool! Should we take our infinity bags?"
"What type of question is that? Of course we are! There's no way I'm carrying all of my supplies around! I'd die! Goofball!"
"Yay! We should try candy and food while we are there too! And we should get all the textbooks for all seven years so we can get ahead with our pranks!"
"I agree! But you have to wait until Clockwork gives you your wand. He probably already chose yours, Dani."
"Okay. But I have no promises about borrowing yours!"
They and their duplicates went downstairs and made their way to the kitchen to find Vlad making breakfast. They stood there shocked. Vlad noticed them. "Morning, you two. Your parents are out, Daniel, so both of you can call back your duplicates." He told them. They nodded slowly and called their duplicates back, still partially in shock that Vlad was cooking. No, the fact Vlad knew how to cook at all. He noticed their expressions. "What? Did you two think that because I'm a billionaire that I don't know how to cook? Well, as rich as I am now, I grew up in a middle class family, so I learned as a child. Class can be deceiving, can't it?"
"Y-yeah."
"It's not poisoned, is it?" Danny asked. "What are you making, anyway?"
"Waffles and bacon. And no, they aren't poisoned." He answered. "Sit."
They didn't want to listen to the fruitloop, but since he was making breakfast, they complied. They sat quietly, waiting. Danny fiddled with his key while Dani was fidgeting. As Vlad set the food on the table, he saw the key.
"Daniel, why and how do you have an item from the Ghost Zone?"
"Because it's mine and a friend gave it to me. Not that it should matter. It doesn't go to anything that could benefit you, so there's no point in trying to take it from me if you're planning to."
"Daniel, I already have the skeleton key, why would I need yours?"
"Dunno. Just saying."
Vlad rolled his eyes. Children he thought. He watched as the the younger halfas ate. They were surprised that the food actually tasted good. They looked up at him, wide eyed. He laughed.
"Let me guess, you didn't know I was actually good at cooking, now did you?"
"It's hard to." Danny grumbled.
"You know, Daniel, Danielle, if I stayed to my teenage dreams, I would have been a dairy farmer."
"Really? You don't seem like the kind of guy who would like such a profession." Dani stated.
"Of course not, dear. People change. Right, Daniel?"
"Why are you asking me?" Danny questioned.
"Because there was a time when you didn't have powers. Didn't your transformation change your attitude towards others?"
"Not really. Yeah, sure, I stood up for myself using my powers, but I didn't change, Plasmius. And I never will." Danny said.
"Really? So you didn't become a little cocky and more outgoing with your powers? I find that hard to believe."
"..."
"What? Cat got your tongue?"
"Yeah, but at least I don't need a cat." Danny retorted. Dani snickered. "Or a pointed hat."
"I heard the cat pun, before Daniel, and it's getting old. However, the hat one is new. Enlighten me and please explain the pun."
"Kinda hard to. Only Dani and I know the meaning and neither one of us could explain it." Danny said. Just then they heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Danny went up to the front door and opened it. He saw a middle aged man with black hair down to his shoulders and dark brown eyes. He wore black robes with a black outfit under it. The man looked at the young halfa.
"Are you Daniel Fenton?"
"Yeah, but I prefer it if you call me Danny."
"Are your parents home? I'd think it best if we discuss Hogwarts with them present."
"No, they aren't. Their friend is watching my cousin and I right now. Personally, I thought you would come later in the day, you being a wizard from England and all."
"Of course. Yet you forgot one thing."
"Magic?"
"Correct."
"Well, if you want to discuss school with my parents present, I have a solution. I can call my parents and put them on speaker phone. It'll be just like they're in the room."
"Speakerphone?"
"It's when you have it so everyone in the room can hear and talk to the person on the cellphone at the same time. And if you don't know what a cellphone is, that is a wireless telephone." Danny explained.
"Interesting. It seems that muggle technology really has advanced over the years."
"Well, it advanced more than you think. So, what's a muggle?"
"None-magic folk."
"Oh."
"Since your parents are muggles, you are known what wizards call mudblood."
"That's a stupid name. Of course, I wouldn't say my parents are exactly muggles. Neither of them can cast spells, but they sure can create Frankenstein monsters. They made dinner two days ago, and it attacked us."
"Muggles that create magical creatures? How intriguing."
"If you say so. So, should I call my parents?"
"Yes, Mr. Fenton."
"Please call me by my first name, please." Danny requested, grabbing his android. He clicked on his parents number and started the call, putting the phone on speaker. His mom picked up.
"What is it, sweetie?"
"The teacher from Hogwarts is here. Say hi teach!"
"Hello, Mrs. Fenton. My name is Severus Snape."
"Hello, Severus! Sorry my husband and I aren't there to talk with you. Is there anything I should know?"
"Yes. According to regulations, you are not to tell anyone about the wizarding world. Or that your son is a wizard. Only immediate family can know."
"Is that all?"
"I'm taking your son to Diagon Alley to get his school supplies."
"And Danielle is coming. I already promised her!" Danny added quickly.
"Alright. Thank you for letting me know." Maddie said. After, she hung up. She was in a bit of a hurry with arriving at a ghost convention, so she didn't take much mind when talking. Danny, on the other hand, had 'all the time in the world' to goof off because it was still summer break. He turned to Snape as he shoved his phone into his pocket.
"I'll be right back." He told the man. Then he went inside. "Dani, let's go."
"Yay!" Dani jumped out of her seat and ran outside. Vlad turned to Danny.
"Where are you two going?"
"School shopping. See you, fruitloop!"
"Have fun, Lil' Badger." Vlad said. But it went unheard as Danny already left the room. It didn't matter though. He was thankful to have a decent conversation with Danny at all. Visiting the boy's family was a great way to try and fix their relationship, and he was determined to do so. Even if Danny was too stubborn to admit that he's telling the truth, he was willing to acknowledge it. He also noticed that fighting ghosts made the boy very resourceful and cunning. The boy became extremely aware of his surroundings and adapted his abilities fairly quickly for only having his powers for three years.
*with Danny*
"So, Teach, where are we going?"
"First, we must find the Mansons and the Foleys, then we are going to Diagon Alley in England."
"I know both families personally. Heck, Tucker and Sam are my best friends. And yes, I know about them, if you are planning on asking. We never keep secrets from one another."
"If you know them, then lead the way."
"Hey how are we going to get to England anyway?" Dani asked.
"Floo powder, dear girl. It teleports the user to any place said, so long as it's in the system. Your town has one of the entrances in it."
"Oh." After a few minutes of walking, they reached Sam's house. She was outside. She noticed them. "Hey Danny and Dani! Who's this?"
"Severus Snape. He's one of the teachers we're going to have."
"Nice to meet you, Snape. I'm Sam Manson."
"Likewise. And I believe your parents already know that they are not permitted to speak of the wizarding world?"
"Yessir."
"Good. Now off to Foley's." It only took a minute to get to Tucker's house. When they arrived, Tucker was sitting on the front steps, playing on his 3DS.
"Hey Tuck." Danny greeted. Tucker put his console in his infinity bag and looked up.
"Hey Danny, Sam, and Dani. Who's the creepy guy with you?"
"He's our teacher, Tucker. And what's so creepy about him? I think his style is perfectly fine!" Sam scowled.
"Says the goth." Tucker shot back. Danny rolled his eyes.
"Let's just go already." Everyone followed Snape to where they were going to use the floo powder. Snape grabbed the floo powder container and opened it.
"Who shall go first?"
"I will." Sam said. She grabbed a handful of the powder and went into place. "What do I do now?"
"As you drop the powder, say Diagon Alley. Be careful as you say it. You don't want to end up in the wrong place."
"Understood." And Sam did as she was told. She disappeared with only green flames left behind. Dani went next. She quickly grabbed her handful and did the same. Danny went after, then Tucker, and finally Snape. Team Phantom looked all around in different directions, excited. Danny turned to Snape.
"So, where do we go first?"
"Gringotts to take out money. Or trade in muggle money for wizard money." Snape answered.
"Oh. Wait, now that I think about it, I have a vault!"
Snape raised an eyebrow. "How does someone such as yourself, who never seen the wizarding world, have a vault?"
"It came with my wand. A friend of mine bought it for me."
"And that same friend bought our wands as well. He said they chose us, and whatever that means, I believe him." Sam said. She pulled out her wand, as did Tucker and Danny. Snape studied the wands closely. Tucker's was an interesting one, taking the form of technology, but was average in power level. Sam's was very detailed, carvings of leaves and plants engraved and was strong in power level. Then came Danny's wand. Something about it unsettled him. It reminded him of death and the underworld, which made him uneasy. And it's power! It was so strong that it beat the levels of Albus Dumbledore's wand, which was supposedly the strongest wand in the wizarding world! How did a boy his age gain such power?! And who was his friend? Snape wanted to know.
"Interesting wands, you three. Now, off to Gringotts." He told them. They followed. As they reached the bank, they read the sign and shuddered. There was no way they'd be causing mischief around the building, that is for sure! Snape looked down at Team Phantom. "Alright, I'll take Mr. Foley and Miss Manson to have their money transferred to wizard money while you take your cousin with you to your vault. You must go up to the goblin over there." Snape informed, pointing at the goblin at the end. "And remember, any questions he asks you must answer with honesty. They can tell if you are lying, no matter how skilled you are. And they will attack you if you lie." They nodded and went up to the goblin.
"Excuse me, sir. I'd like to access my vault." Danny said, holding up his key. The goblin looked at the key, wide eyed.
"What is your name, child?"
"Danny Fenton."
"Age?"
"Seventeen, but I'm stuck as an eleven year old."
"Origin?"
"United States."
"Now, how did you get your key and the wand of eternal balance and magic and luck?"
"A friend named Clockwork. He said it chose me."
"You know Clockwork?"
"Yessir, I do."
"It is an honor for anyone to meet Clockwork once, but to know him personally is the greatest honor one can have child. Remember that. Now what species are you? Pure blood, half blood, or mud blood?"
"That's a hard one. Species wise, I'm a halfa, not human. But if you disinclude that, it is still confusing. My parents may not be wizards, but I believe they have magic of their own. How else would any food they make turn into supernatural monsters?" Danny laughed. The goblin looked at him quizzically.
"I guess I'll put halfa as your species then. But would you mind telling me what a halfa is?"
"Sure. But only if you don't tell anyone."
"Of course. I solemnly swear to never tell a soul about what you are."
Danny was glad that Sam taught him about goblins. Because he knew that if a goblin makes a promise, they keep it. No matter the circumstance. Danny looked up at the goblin. "A halfa is someone who is half ghost. My cousin here is one too."
The goblin raised an eyebrow. "I sense a partial lie in your words. What lie are you telling me?"
"Whoops. Sometimes I forget! Dani here is actually my clone, but we consider ourselves cousins. I sometimes forget that she's my clone at times, calling her my cousin all the time. Sorry about that, sir."
"It is quite fine. If you consider her your cousin, then I will as well. Now off to your vault, Mr. Fenton."
"Please, call me Danny."
"Of course." The goblin led him to a mine cart that seemed to be attached to roller coaster's track. Danny and Dani looked at each other and smiled. They jumped right into the cart. The goblin climbed his way in and lit a lamp. Then he started the cart. The phantom cousins laughed as the cart zoomed through the mines and made lots of twists and turns. When they reached their destination, they got out of the cart.
"Here is your vault, Danny. Now please hand me the lamp." The goblin requested. Danny shook his head.
"No need. I have a better light." He rose his left hand in the air and created a bright green light. It filled up the area, making everything clear.
"Alright then, key please."
Danny handed the key to the goblin and stepped back as the goblin opened the vault. Danny's eyes widened. "Clockwork wasn't kidding when he said that I have a lot."
"You can say that again." Dani said. They grabbed a ton of money, not sure how much they needed and knowing that they were also getting extra supplies they didn't need until later years as well as some trinkets for home, and candy, because they just knew that wizards had interesting candy. After all, wizards have magic, and who wouldn't use magic on candy? After they finished grabbing what they believed that they needed, they left the vault. The goblin handed Danny his key. They went back to the front desk. Danny turned to the goblin.
"Thanks. By the way, what do I call myself when other students ask me what I am?"
"Well, considering that your parents create magical creatures and the fact you're not fully human, I'd say the best option would be a pure blood. Though around me, I prefer you use your actual species."
"Yessir. Have a great day."
"You as well."
Danny and Dani met up with Sam, Tucker, and Snape outside of Gringotts. They went to the stores for their books first. Snape waited outside while they ordered their books. Danny asked for all seven years of each subject, which pleased the clerk.
"In depth learner, aren't cha' mate? You're the only first year to order all the books ahead of time!"
"Hehe… Well, the stuff has to be interesting, right? So why not?"
"Because it's too much information for a first year to process." A voice from behind Danny said. He turned to see an eleven year old boy with slick, blonde hair and blue eyes. He smirked. "And I doubt that you could even memorize the first book of even one subject in a few weeks time, which ruins your point in bringing all these books."
"I never said I was memorizing the books over summer. I'm bringing them all to school with me. Thanks for worrying though." Danny said sarcastically. "What's your name anyway?"
"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. How about you? And more importantly, what species of wizard are you?"
"Danny Fenton. Pure blood. This is my cousin, Dani with an I. Short for Danielle." Danny gestured towards his cousin.
"Hi." Dani said, not really interested. She was reading Danny's potion book. "Um, cuz? You might want to memorize this, for safety's sake."
"Why do you say that?"
"B-blossoms. They're in some potions."
"What?!"
"I said that-"
"I heard what you said, Dani. I'm just shocked is all."
"Why is that? Of course they're in some potions! They are known for great healing properties!" Draco stated.
"Well, my reason is none of your business, Draco."
"You know. You sound American."
"That's because I am American." Danny said, rolling his eyes. "And so are my friends." He pointed at Sam and Tucker.
"What are they?!"
"Half bloods."
"At least they're not filthy mudbloods!" Draco commented. Danny flinched. His friends were mudbloods originally, but now had part of Danny's energy in them, making them half bloods. But calling muggles and mudbloods filthy was not only rude in Danny's book, it was also racist and messed up.
I'm so pranking the kid when I'm at school. He thought. He grabbed his books and put them in his infinity bag. The others already bought their books. Danny turned to Dani. "Let's go."
"Kay." They went outside and met up with Sam, Tucker, and Snape, who was talking to a man that was completely white and grey. The young halfas' ghost senses went off.
"That man is a ghost, huh?" Dani whispered to Danny, who nodded. "Dangerous or no?"
"No. If our teacher is talking to the ghost, then he's probably friendly." Danny whispered back. "Keep your guard up, though. Just in case."
The ghost turned his head. His eyes widened. "My word! It's Danny Fenton!" The ghost flew up to Danny. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you at last!"
"Um, thanks. And you are?"
"I'm the Bloody Baron, ghost of the Slytherin house." The ghost held out his hand. Danny shook it, astonishing Snape, who said nothing.
"Slytherin house? Might you explain?"
"In Hogwarts, there are four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Students are separated by personality, bloodline, and goals. And each house has a ghost. We are sort of like mascots, yet not."
"Oh."
"I hope that you are in my house, Danny. You are the savior of the G-Zone!"
"Savior of the what-zone?" Snape asked.
"Sorry, Severus, but that information is classified amongst you mortals."
"Then how does this child know?"
"Let's just say he has connections."
"You don't know the half of it." Danny laughed. Bloody Baron smiled. Snape, on the other hand, scowled.
"Mr. Fenton, say goodbye to Mr. Baron."
"Alright." Danny said. Everyone said bye to Bloody Baron. They went to the clothes store next. Danny bought the most lightweight robes the store had, knowing that if he bought the normal ones and wore them, he'd surely pass out. His robes looked like the night sky on the ends and inside, which Dani approved. Sam bought bought robes made of silk. On the inside, they were purple with a green spider web design. Tucker bought robes with red ends. They smiled, satisfied with their choices. They left the store and followed Snape to the supplies shop. They bought the rest of their supplies there. By the time they finished buying their supplies, they were starving. Sam and Tucker bought soup from a soup kitchen (Sam's being vegetarian and Tucker's being mainly meat) while Danny took Dani into one of the candy shops, and bought almost all of the candy in there. They came out, eating Barry Bott's every flavor beans. They made different faces and laughed at each other. Sam and Tucker tried the beans and grimaced. Tucker spit it out.
"Dude! What the hell are those?! The one I ate tasted like mud!"
"Barry Bott's every flavor beans. They have good and bad ones." Danny laughed. "Seems you two got the bad ones!"
"Mine tasted like grass."
"Danny ate one that tasted like charcoal." Dani told them. They laughed. Snape even had a small smirk on his face, but quickly wiped it away before the children noticed.
"Dani!"
"What it's true!" Dani said. "Besides, it's funny!"
"Traitor."
"Are you done? Because it's time for me to bring you four home." Snape informed.
"Yeah." Team Phantom replied in unison. Snape brought them back to Amity Park, then parted. Danny smirked.
"During school shopping, I bought a broom and a lot of floo powder, as well as a few prank items. They should come in handy, if you know what I mean."
"Oh, we know exactly what you mean!" Sam said.
"I'm going to learn some spells and prank Dash tomorrow." Tucker announced.
"Sweet, mind if I join you on that?" Danny asked.
"Sure, man! The more, the better!" Tucker high fived Danny. "Well, I gotta go. And don't forget to remind your dad that Sam, you, and I need mini ecto generators."
"Sure thing. Well, Dani and I will see you guys later." And with that, everyone parted. Danny and Dani created duplicates that transformed into their ghost forms, then walked home. They went upstairs and opened up the book of spells that Danny grabbed from his infinity bag. They continued eating their Barry Bott's every flavored beans as they learned all the spells they could. They memorized about twelve chapters of the book, mainly due to the fact that they stumbled upon a memory spell that gives the user the ability to permanently memorize anything they read (The spell itself lasts for two hours, but like said, the memories stay.) and used it on themselves, when Danny's mom called them down for dinner. Dani smiled.
"You gonna use one of those spells during dinner?"
"Only one of the ones I can use without my wand!" Danny smirked, his duplicate snickering behind him.
"This should be interesting and funny!"
"Oh, it surely will be!" He commented. They went downstairs, smiling mischievously. Jack and Maddie didn't notice this, but that was due to the fact they were excited to learn how the school shopping went. Vlad seemed curious as well, but knew that Danny and Dani were up to no good. He could not only tell by their face, but also the rhythm that their ectoplasmic energy waves were giving off. He stayed alert.
"How was school shopping?" Maddie asked.
"Oh, it was great! Though, we may or may not have also bought a lot of candy." Dani said. Danny laughed.
"And a few extra things we don't need." Danny told them, smirking even more. "Then yet again, everything comes in handy."
Dani looked at the food on the table quizzically. Some parts of it were glowing green. Then she looked at Danny, who gave her a mischievous smirk. She smirked back. She wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to him, making sure that Jack, Maddie, and Vlad didn't see her do the deed. They didn't, but only because they also noticed dinner was glowing. Danny read the paper.
So, Danny. It looks like your parents mutated dinner again. You gonna use this this as an advantage for your pranks?
Danny handed the paper to his duplicate, who read it as well. Then they looked at Dani and nodded. Danny, seeing the food starting to move, aimed a finger at it. "Imperio." Danny whispered. The food stopped it attack. It now listened to all of Danny's mental commands. Different parts of the meal started swearing and fighting each other. One part paid no mind and started to dab. The turkey flung itself at the fridge, opened it, grabbed a watermelon, and started imitating all of Marlon Webb's vines.
Vlad turned white out of pure shock. Yeah sure, Jack did create some weird inventions, but the last thing he expected was this! He had never seen such a monstrosity in his life, and he dealt with ghosts that were in the way of his goals! He looked at both Danny and Dani, who were trying not to laugh as the chaos set loose. He was certainly going to ask them what they did after dinner. But for now, he just sat there, knowing that the mess will be cleaned up.
Maddie looked at Danny's duplicate. "Phantom, please get rid of the food."
"Kay." Danny Phantom replied, eyes showing a tiny bit of disappointment. He caught the food in his Fenton thermos. Danny Fenton released his spell on dinner and yawned.
"Guess Dani, the Phantom cousins, and I will go upstairs and eat some of the candy we bought."
Maddie raised an eyebrow. "Would you mind sharing some of the candy, dear? Considering that dinner mutated again?"
"Sure. Though, no promises of it all being sweet!" And with that, Danny ran upstairs, grabbed a bunch of candy, including another box of Barry Bott's every flavor beans (just to see Vlad cringe in disgust), and ran back downstairs. He set it all on the table. Vlad looked at the boy questioningly.
"Daniel, why do you have so much candy? It's not healthy you know."
"So what? I live in the today, not tomorrow. Besides, the candy is awesome!"
Dani grabbed one of the mice pops. "I wonder if I could prank Sam into thinking that these are made of real mice."
"I wouldn't if I were you. One time Tucker pranked Sam like that, and it didn't end well for him." Danny informed.
"A kid still can dream though." Dani said. "Maybe I should have Tucker do the prank for me."
"Tell me how that turns out." Danny requested, laughing. Vlad looked at the candy, reading the names each one. He noticed the Barry Bott's every flavored beans.
"Daniel, what does the box mean by every flavor?" He asked, pointing at the beans.
"Exactly what it says. It has every flavor a human can think of." Danny replied, holding back a mischievous grin. Vlad eyed him, knowing that the young halfa was up to no good. The question faded as Jack interrupted.
"Cool, son! I must try some!" Jack tried a few, liking some, and obviously hating others. "My boy, you weren't joking about it having every flavor in existence! Whoever made these are a genius!"
Vlad decided to try as well, curious about the hype. He grimaced. "What in the world? They taste like what gym socks smell like!"
Danny smirked. "Looks like you got bad luck with them!" He teased.
"Bad luck?" Maddie questioned. Then she tried a few. "My, one tasted like chocolate, another tasted like popcorn, and the other tasted like pumpkin pie!"
"Looks like you had good luck!" Dani told her. Then she finished her mice pop and grabbed a cauldron cake. She bit into it and hummed. "Man, these mini cakes are good!" She took another bite. Danny grabbed a box that read 'chocolate frog' on it. He opened the box, noticed it starting to move, and quickly plopped it into his mouth before anyone could notice. Luckily that was the only chocolate frog he brought down, because it would have been bad if Vlad seen that, because he would question as to why and how the chocolate frog could move, and then the magic wouldn't be a secret anymore.
Seeing Dani grab a second cauldron cake, Vlad figured that the pastry was safe, and grabbed one as well. Luckily for him, he was right. He couldn't describe the flavor of the icing, but instantly knew that the sponge cal part was chocolate. Whatever flavor the icing was, though, it certainly pleased him. Especially after the Barry Bott's every flavored beans trial. As he ate the pastry, he watched as Danny looked at the box of the chocolate frog that he ate.
"Wow, these come with trading cards! That's so cool!" Danny said aloud before shoving the card into his pocket. "I'm so telling Tucker." Then he grabbed a few skeletal sweets ate ate them.
After everyone ate, they went into their rooms to "settle down" for the night. Danny and Dani decided to play video games. They argued over what game they should play, until they settled for The Evil Within. They were on what seemed like level forty two when they heard a knock on the door. They hissed as they saw who opened it. It was Vlad. They made their eyes glow green, and Vlad retaliated by making his glow red. He came in and closed the door behind him.
"I know you two did something during dinner. It was written on both of your faces."
"We didn't do anything, Plasmius. My parents mutate food by accident all the time." Danny defended. "Surely they told you about that?"
"No, they didn't. But I'm not talking about the mutation itself, but more of their actions after being mutated. You did something."
"Yeah, swear under my breath and trying not to laugh!" Danny said.
"Don't lie to me, Daniel. You aren't very good at it."
"Actually, I am. I fooled my parent's only working lying detector, which worked on every other ghost mind you, at least a thousand times!"
"I'm not talking about machinery, Daniel. My empathic powers are stronger than that device, and it's also written on your face." Vlad explained. "Now, tell me the truth, Daniel."
"I ain't telling you shit."
"Yeah, muggle!" Dani added. Vlad raised an eyebrow.
Muggle? I've never heard of such a term before. I'll ask the ghost writer about it later. He thought. Then he set his mind back to the situation at hand. "Daniel, it seemed to me like you were controlling the mutated meal. Am I right?"
Danny went wide eyed, surprised that Vlad figured it out, but decided to hide it by saying "You seriously are a fruitloop! How in the ghost zone would I do that?"
"You're using the language of the ghost zone, eh? That's new. Well, anyways, some ghosts can use mind control on minor ghosts. And if I'm right, you must have that ability."
"According to my memory, I don't have that ability, Plasmius!"
"Well, according to your energy, you do Daniel. I've known about it for some time."
"Maybe your readings are wrong, Plasmius. Ever thought that?"
"Daniel, I know one thing. They are far from being wrong. Let me ask you this, have you ever been able to fight back from a ghost or human using a mind controlling item from the ghost zone?"
"Yeah, but that was because I am strong willed!"
"On the contrary, Daniel, mind controlling items from the ghost zone aren't broken from a strong will. The ghost must have mind controlling abilities to be able to break free. Surely someone in the ghost zone told you that's?"
"..."
"Thought so."
"Wait, if Danny has that ability, then do I also contain it as well?!" Dani asked. Vlad nodded.
"Of course you do. It doesn't take my powers to know that."
"Hehe… Just asking."
"I know. Now, just to let you two know, it's three in the morning. You should get some sleep."
"Crap! We've been playing video games that long?!" Danny exclaimed. Vlad nodded.
"And it's not healthy. Now, go to bed. I'll tell Jack and Maddie not to bother you when they wake up."
"Fine." The young halfas said in unision. They saved their game and went into their beds. Vlad smiled.
"Goodnight, you two."
"Night, fruitloop." Danny replied. Dani already fell asleep, mainly due to a mix of exhaustion, lack of being in front of the tv screen, and a sugar crash. Danny, on the other hand, waited till Vlad left the room before letting the sweet darkness of sleep take over him.
Meanwhile, Vlad sat in his room for an hour, waiting until his advanced hearing heard Danny fall asleep. He got up and phased into the young halfa's room. He decided to check if the boy's core was acting up again, and happily found that it didn't. He noticed that the boy did forget to use his blankets, as none were on him. Gently, so he didn't wake young halfa, he covered the Danny with the blankets. Satisfied, he left the room and went to bed.
Me: Unkie Vlad is being fatherly!
Vlad: Of course I am! He is still a son to me! Even if he disagrees! Now, would you mind telling me why you're surprised?
Me: Because you're Unkie Vlad, not Daddy Vlad!
Vlad: Child, I believe you need to get your brain checked.
