Me: Hello! Time for pranks!

Danny: And hopefully they're ranked!

Dani: Oh, what to do!

Tucker: Something cool and New!

Me: And since it's not a sin!

Danny: Let the story begin!

Danny and Dani woke up to hear an explosion coming from downstairs. Danny rolled his eyes as the both of them made their duplicates, which transformed into their alter egos. "What do you think malfunctioned this time?"

Dani yawned. "Dunno. But from what I heard, it might be those prototype ring-rays they're working on."

"Could be." He checked his phone. "Kay, so, first we've got to remind my dad to finish the ecto-generators."

"What are ecto-generators?"

"A form of ecto converter. It's for charging our electronics at school. You'll need one next year."

"Don't they have electricity?"

"I don't think so. And besides, even if they do, could you imagine the bill we'd get? Not worth it. That's why I'm having my dad build them. And now that I think about it, that might have been the explosion downstairs."

"Yeah." Then they heard a knock on the door. The door opened to reveal that it was Vlad.

"What was that explosion, Daniel?" He asked, obviously a bit shocked from it.

Danny rolled his eyes. "My parents. Another invention malfunctioned. It's almost daily. Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious is all."

"Yeah, about everything." Dani shot back. " Haven't you heard of minding your own business?"

"Pardon?"

"You ask too many questions! And you ask them daily!"

"And you don't trust me."

"You haven't really given us a reason to." Danny pointed out. "Between you nearly killing Dani twice, you trying to steal my mom all the time, and your manipulation, it's kind of hard to trust you with anything."

"Touché."

"Can you leave now? I need to change." Dani said. Vlad nodded. Danny looked at his cousin.

"I am going to change in the bathroom." He told her.

"Kay." She replied. Danny grabbed a set of clothes and went to the bathroom to get changed while his duplicate went downstairs. When he finished getting changed, he left the bathroom to see Vlad standing in the hallway, waiting.

"What do you want, Fruitloop?" He questioned theolder halfa.

"When is the last time you used your ice powers?"

"Um, uh, I don't remember…" Danny stuttered. How did he forget to use that power? It's bad for him not to! Last time, he went not using that power for a month, and he nearly got hypothermia! He looked at the man with a questioning face. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I do. My reason doesn't matter anyway. What does matter is your health. You know what happens if you don't use your core powers."

"So what? Since ghosts slowed down their attacks to almost stopped, I've forgotten to use that ability. Not a big deal."

"Don't be childish, Daniel. It is a big deal. You will freeze up if you don't use the power. And with the ghosts not attacking, your ghost sense will not slow it down."

"I'll deal with it as it comes." Just then, Dani came out with her duplicate. Danny turned. "Let's go, Dani." They headed downstairs, reminded Jack about the ecto generators, and left. As they walked outside, they noticed an owl on the mailbox, holding a letter addressed to Danny. "Another letter?" He opened it to find a train ticket for Platform nine and three quarters in London. Then he opened the letter.

Dear Mr. Fenton,

Here is your ticket to Hogwarts. Please take good care of it, as you will not get a second one. If you need help to get on the Platform, then ask a fellow wizard to help.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster

P.S. I heard that you have caught the eye of all the ghosts here. I have no idea why, but judging by their reactions, you must be a special student. I'd really like it if you became friends with the boy who lived. See you at the sorting ceremony.

"What is it?" Dani asked as they walked to Tucker's house.

"Ticket to school." Danny replied, shoving the ticket in his pocket.

"Cool. Speaking of school, what are you going to tell the ghosts that fight you?"

"The truth. That I'm going to be gone for a school year, minus vacations, and that I'm leaving you in charge."

"Oh." They reached Tucker's to see the techno geek prepared for a day of pranking. They smirked.

"So, Tucker, what prank are we gonna start with?" Danny asked.

"Let's make Dash's lunch explode on him!" Tucker suggested. Dani snickered.

"Yeah! And while we're at it, let's make his pants fall down!" she added.

And they did just that. Dash was completely humiliated, and he didn't know what caused anything that happened. He ran into the bathroom! Dani, Danny, and Tucker bursted out laughing. They ran out of Nasty Burger, where their prank was held, barely containing themselves. They used a bad luck spell on Dash. They watched as worse, yet more hilarious things happened to the jock. They, after two hours, released the spell. They called Sam and told her about what they did. She laughed, but since she was cleaning her house, they had to end the conversation short. As they hung up, Danny's ghost sense went off. "Yo, Danny!" They looked up to see Youngblood, who smiled. "So it's true! You're gonna be a kid forever! That's awesome!"

"It's been a while, Youngblood. How have you been?" Danny asked.

"Great! So, who's the girl? Your sister? I thought you only had one sister!"

"Nah, she's my cousin. She's a halfa too."

"Really? That's awesome! So, I heard your third deathday is coming up! Are you going to celebrate? It's a special year, ya' know!"

"My deathday? What are you talking about?"

"You mean you don't know?! A ghost's deathday is like a human's birthday. Since you're a halfa, you have both!"

"I didn't know that." Danny admitted, embarrassed. Youngblood laughed.

"I'm guessing no one told you. Come on, you gotta come with me to the ghost zone."

"Why?" Tucker asked. "Why does he need to go to the ghost zone?"

"Duh, because his deathday is nearby!" Youngblood smirked. "And the ghosts are holding a surprise party for him."

"Dude, saying that there is a surprise party for him, right in front of him, kind of ruins the surprise."

"I know. But they don't know that he knows. I can only be seen by the young, remember? Which means that even adult ghosts can see me. Only Ember, and a few other young ghosts can. Besides, he can pretend to be surprised. No one will know!"

"What about going to the G-Zone? My dad is in the basement." Danny pointed out.

"Johnny is here, and he's waiting for ya! Now let's go!" Youngblood grabbed Danny's wrist. "Cake and presents await!"

"I'm coming too!" Dani said, running after them, leaving Tucker by himself. Danny and Dani already called back their duplicates. They transformed into their alter egos and went with Youngblood to where Johnny was. They waved. Johnny raised an eyebrow.

"Who's the girl?" He asked. Danny smirked.

"My cousin. Dani with an I. Short for Danielle."

"I wasn't aware that you had a cousin with the same powers as you."

"That's because she is a traveling nomad. She only recently moved here."

"Oh. So, you ready for another year of ghost hunting and school combined?"

Danny looked down. "Yeah, about that…"

"What?"

"I'm going to a school in England."

"What?!" Youngblood and Johnny exclaimed.

"But why?" Johnny asked. "Why are you leaving?"

"Because it's a good school. I'm still half human, which means that I still need to get a job when I finish school and in order to get a good job, I need to go to a good school."

"I keep on forgetting about that. You know, you could just live in the Ghost Zone whenever you want."

"And keep running from or fighting Walker? No thanks." Danny smiled. "Besides, it's only for the school year. I'll be here during vacations."

"Alright, I guess. So, what type of school is it?"

"Science related, you could say. Even has astronomy."

"Nice. So you're still planning on being an astronaut?"

"Yup."

"Good. Keep to your dreams. They'll get you far." Johnny said. "Now, let's get going." They all went into the Ghost Zone. Danny acted shocked when the ghosts shouted out "surprise!" He smiled.

"Thanks!" Then he felt someone furry hug him. He turned to see a werewolf ghost. "Wulf! Kiel vi fartas?"

"Granda, amiko! Feliĉa Morto Tago!" Wulf said.

"Danke amiko!" Danny turned to see Ember and Skulker, who shoved a present in the boy's gut.

"There, whelp. Open it."

Danny opened the present and inside was a choker with a skull and a necklace attached to a dog tag, which had Danny Fenton engraved on one side and Danny Phantom on the other. "Wow, thanks!" Danny hugged the hunter.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't get too mushy, whelp."

"Kay." Danny let go. He looked up at everyone. "I want you guys to meet someone." He stepped out of the way to reveal his cousin. "This is my cousin, Dani, with an I, short for Danielle."

"Hi." She said.Everyone looked at her, astonished. Dora gasped.

"She looks just like you!"

"Hehe, yeah she does." Danny admitted. Spectra smirked.

"Now I know what you'd look like if you were a girl."

"Gee, thanks. Like I needed to know that." Danny said, rolling his eyes. Everyone laughed. Walker went up to Danny. He handed him an envelope. Danny looked at him before opening the envelope. Inside was a pardon for his sentence assigned three years ago, a rule book for the Ghost Zone, and a key chain. "Thanks, Walker."

"No problem, kid. Just try not to break any laws."

"Gotcha!" Danny saluted. Then Spectra handed the boy a box. He opened it to find a black suit.

"I know you're not really into fancy things, but since you're legally going to be an adult this year, I thought you'd need this."

"Thanks, Spectra. For the present and the thought."

Spectra smiled. Vortex butted in.

"Now open mine, Phantom! It's a great piece! Greater than the mona lisa!" He boasted. Danny opened the present and rose an eyebrow as he picked up a ring.

"Um…"

"It lets you control the weather of your area, if you're wondering."

"Cool!" Danny and Dani said at the same time.

"I knew you'd like it. It's a masterpiece after all!"

"Thanks!" Then Technus flew up to the boy.

"If you think that's great, child, then wait till you see what I, Technus, master of all machines, have for you!" He announced, giving Danny a small box. The young halfa opened it to see a pair of contacts. He looked closer to see that they were electronic. Technus smirked. "I know how you have a hard time on tests, child. If you wear these, then the answers will be shown exactly where they're needed. Doesn't matter the subject, they will know!"

"Sweet. Thanks man!"

"Your welcome, child!"

"My, my. It seems like you have a lot of time on your hands." A voice said. Danny turned to see the ghost of time. Everyone around the halfas gasped.

"Clocky!" Dani exclaimed.

"Clockwork!" Danny greeted. The halfas hugged the ghost. "How are you?"

"I'm doing well, my boy. Yet, today's not about that, now is it?" Clockwork replied, holding out a box with holes in it. "Of course, you might recognize this little one in here, but he comes with a new gadget to cloak his ghostly identity."

Danny raised an eyebrow and opened the box. A green ghost puppy jumped out. Danny smiled. "Cujo!" He laughed as the dog barked and ran around Danny's feet. He noticed that there was also a small device attached to the collar. He looked back in the box to see a small device that looked like what Jazz used to lock and unlock the ghost hunting weapons in the RV. One button said Hide and the other said reveal. It had a hook that could attach to a keychain. "Thanks, Clockwork. But wait, how do I take care of a dog? The only other pet I've owned was a gerbil, and it went missing. Yet again, Tucker did mention accidentally killing it and hiding it so I wouldn't know. Even so, I'd still like to know."

"Well, Danny, it's very simple. He knows what to do when he has to go to the bathroom, so you needn't to know about that. What you do need to know, however, is that he needs to exercise for at least an hour and a half per day, and he must not be fed chocolate, onions, or coffee. He also needs a bath once a month." Clockwork explained.

"Thanks!"

"Now, I wish I could stay longer, however, my duty awaits." And with that, the master of time disappeared. Danny turned to see the other ghosts staring at him.

"What?"

"You know Clockwork, whelp?" Skulker asked.

"Yeah. He's a good dude." Danny answered. "Why?"

"You are very lucky, Danny." Said Spectra. "Knowing Clockwork is the highest honor anyone can have. Ghost or human."

"Hehe…" Danny scratched the back of his neck. "Is it really? I didn't know that ghosts were included."

"Wait, you knew that for humans it was an honor, but not ghosts?! What planet are you living on, whelp?" Skulker exclaimed.

"I don't know. Though, speaking of time, there's something I've got to tell you guys." Danny had all of the ghosts' attention, as they were curious as to what he was going to say. "I-I'm going to a boarding school. In England."

"WHAT?!"

"But you're only going to be a Senior! You can't be going to college already!" Kitty shouted.

"What school are you going to?" Ember asked.

"How many years are you attending?" Dora asked.

"Povas i viziti?" Wulf asked. Danny sighed.

"I knew this was going to happen. Well, answers in order are a science related school, seven years, though I'm gonna be in Amity During vacations, and I'm not sure."

"Science related? Don't you mean science school?"

"Not really. I'm not sure if I'm should explain, because you guys may not be muggles, but you guys also know Vlad. And he cannot know. And some of you," he looked at Technus, "aren't the best at keeping secrets. Not to insult anyone, but I'm just saying."

"We get it." Ember said. "But what's a muggle?"

"Oh! I read a book, and it used that term! It was used to referred to normal living humans!" Dora told them. The ghost writer face palmed.

"It means, by definition, someone without magic." He explained. "But what I would like to know is, how do you know Danny?"

"Um, uh, well…"

"I, Technus, will cover my ears are leave the room so you can tell!" He left the room.

"And we promise not to tell Plasmius what you say!" Skulker added.

"Okay, turns out, I'm a wizard. I'm going to a wizarding school." He informed. The ghosts looked at him, bewildered.

"Could you show us some magic?" Kitty asked. Danny nodded.

"Sure." He grabbed his wand and aimed it at Skulker. "Reparo." As soon as he said it, Skulker's battle armor was in perfect condition. The robotic ghost looked down at his body, then at Danny.

"Whelp, that's impressive. Can you do other things?"

"Yeah, I can." Danny showed them a few more spells. They were all even did some magic without his wand. They applauded when he finished.

"That was beautiful art, Phantom! Really well done!" Vortex commended.

"I agree. And you've only very recently learned magic existed? Very impressive!" The ghost writer added.

"You should consider joining the ghost police force! We could use someone like you." Walker saluted.

"Thanks! I'm really excited to start school at Hogwarts." Danny said. "So, what are you guys' plans for this year?"

"Create new weather patterns!" Vortex boasted.

"To hunt rare species of course!" Skulker answered.

"Since I have a perfect body now, I'm going to go on vacation!" Spectra announced. "And Bertrand is coming!"

"I'm going to keep an eye on the Ghost Zone, as it's my job." Walker sighed.

"That stinks. Kitty and I are going to travel the world." came from Johnny. Kitty nodded as Dora spoke up.

"I'm going to continue helping my people."

"I'm going to start a tour, as a simple rock star." Ember said. The other ghosts answered the question as well, but one thing bugged Danny.

"Anyone know where the box ghost has been? Not that I care, but he usually appears out of nowhere all the time."

"Oh, well, we saw your dad drop one of those furnaces, so we took it and trapped the nuisance in the container. He doesn't only take your sleep, ya know." Skulker informed. "We all have been sleeping better with him gone."

"Oh." Just then, Danny's phone rang. He transformed into his human self, shushed everyone, then answered. "Hello?"

"Danny! Where are you?"

"Mom? I'm in town, with Dani." He lied. "Why?"

"You won't believe what happened! Your father sent the house into a parallel dimension again!"

"Mom, I don't want to deal with this right now. You know that it'll be back in a few hours."

"I know, but I was worried about you! I didn't know where you were!"

"Mom, chill. I'm seventeen. I can take care of myself. Besides, I've got Phantom with me." Then he words out to the others "I told her that 'Phantom' was my guardian.

"Alright honey. Please be back home by two in the morning. Or have a sleepover at a friend's house."

"Kay, mom."

"See you, sweetie."

"See ya, mom." He hangs up. He looked at everyone. "My dad sent our house to a parallel dimension again."

"That stinks man." Johnny said.

"You don't know the half of it." Danny sighed. "Another reason I'm excited to go to Hogwarts. No parental chaos for a year."

"Parental chaos? What do you mean?" Youngblood asked.

"Yeah, what do you mean?" Ember questioned.

"Well, let's just say that my everyday life, discluding ghost fighting as Danny Phantom, includes explosions in the basement, my dad's road rage, my mom's dangerous meals, and both of their weird ass inventions."

"Dangerous meals? How are meals dangerous? Well, besides when the lunch lady is around." Vortex thought aloud.

"Every meal in mutated into some freakish zombie frankenstein monsters."

"What the fuck?" Skulker raised an eyebrow. "How in the hell do they do that?"

"I don't know and I don't wanna know." Danny told them. "All I do know is that I'll be eating more at Hogwarts."

"Why did you tell us, Danny? About being a wizard?" Dora asked.

"Well, you guys would have found out sooner or later, considering that. And besides, I trust you guys enough with keeping it a secret considering the fact that none of you revealed who and what I am." Danny explained. "And you had plenty of chances to."

"Guess you have a good reason, whelp. But also, you keep our secrets as well, so it's only respectable for us to do the same."

"Not only that, but you could have given us all to your parents to dissect any time you caught us, but you didn't. And you saved the Ghost Zone multiple times, ultimately helping all of us." Ember added. "I think keeping your secret from Plasmius is the least we can do."

"Thanks, you guys. Really, it means a lot." Danny said.

"Oh yeah, I'm a wizard too!" Dani blurted. "But I don't have a wand yet. I get one next year!"

"Why next year?" Johnny asked.

"Because I was turned into a ten year old! And I'm naturally younger than Danny." she answered. "The school knows that we're actually sixteen and seventeen, however, they don't want the students to know that. Something about some going power hungry or similar."

"I think it has to do with eternal youth." Danny theorized. "Some of the wizards who are bad often try to find immortality. And eternal youth is a step towards that."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They talked about theories for different creatures, methods, and genres of magic. They also ate junk food and partied for a few hours. Cujo got his paws on the mint ice cream, so no one ate that flavor. They actually laughed when they saw him do that. They all did minor competitions. One of them was to build an ice sculpture, which Danny obviously won with his ice powers. When it came to going up against ghosts with ice powers, there was almost no chance of winning. Danny felt relieved to use his core power, as if weight has been lifted off his shoulders. Another competition was a to try not to laugh at the video that was shown. Dani lost instantly, as did Youngblood. The winner was Technus, who came back in the room as the wizard talk was over. Since he could block off emotions at will, he used that ability during the competition. Then they played ghost baseball. And that meant that they used their powers to cheat. All of them. They all had such a good time that time itself actually flew by. It felt like minutes instead of hours. By the time the party ended, it was near midnight. Danny thanked all of them and he and Dani went back to Amity Park. Dani looked at Danny.

"Can I sleep over at Sam's? Please?" She did the cute face. Danny laughed and nodded.

"Go right ahead. If she complains, tell her about the situation."

"Kay! Thanks cuz!" She hugged her cousin and flew to Sam's house. Danny created a duplicate and transformed back to normal while the duplicate stayed as a ghost. Cujo followed him, cloaking on. Danny smiled.

"Mom is so gonna kill me for not telling her that I've got a dog."

"No kidding. It'll be worse if she finds out that it's a ghost dog." His duplicate added. They laughed.

"Oh well, she can't be too mad at me. After all, it wasn't me who sent the house into a parallel dimension!"

"I know, right!so, what do you want to do?"

"How about we walk around town until the house returns. After all, we are not going to sit around doing nothing."

"But what about our deathday presents?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot about those."

"LOL."

"I agree. We're the same person, yet we've got different minds! It's so weird!"

"It really is. But hey, maybe it's because we keep duplicating every day for hours."

"Yeah, I know. But hey, at least we can think separately. It gives us two points of view."

"Yeah. Too bad we aren't doing this at Hogwarts."

"We are when studying. The combination of the memory spell and duplicating is the ultimate way to study."

"True. So, how many duplicates will we need?"

"Probably about seven or eight others, so in total, nine."

"That's gonna waste energy. Good thing we found an energy spell that lasts as long as we want."

"Yup."

"So, wanna see how many duplicates we can currently conjure up?"

"Maybe later. We are outside, and if mom and dad see us duplicating, that will be a messy one to explain."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

"Wanna play Smash Bros?"

"Our 3DS is in the house."

"Video arcade?"

"They won't let Cujo in."

"How about we read the book Walker gave us. That way we learn the rules."

"Good idea!"

Danny aimed his wand at himself and his duplicate. "Libromem!" They read the book for the remaining two hours, memorizing it thanks to the spell. The house appeared as their parents, along with Vlad, arrived. Danny waved. His mother's eyebrows narrowed.

"Danny, why do you have a dog? And what's with all this stuff?"

"I got him. His name is Cujo. And, I got all this stuff while I was out."

"I think Cujo it awesome." Danny's duplicate said. Danny nodded.

"And he only listens to Phantom and I. We were meant to own him." Danny added. His mom sighed.

"Just make sure he doesn't trash the house."

"Kay."

"Are you allowed to bring pets to school?" Jack asked. Danny nodded, as did his duplicate.

"We are, so long as we take care of them. Though, I've gotta admit, I can't believe school starts in a little over a week." Danny said. "I'm going to miss being here in Amity." His parents hugged him.

"We know, Danny. We'll miss you too. But how about we all worry about that as the time comes? And go inside for now."

Danny yawned. "Okay." Danny replied sleepily. They all walked inside. Phantom brought everything upstairs as Danny held Cujo. He walked upstairs, careful not to wake the pup. He called his duplicate back as soon as he locked his door. He laid Cujo on a pillow then went into his bed and fell asleep.

Me: Sorry, no fatherly Vlad this time.

Victoria: We must prove that Unkie Vlad isn't Daddy Vlad!

Me: No, we must show that he's still human. That he needs sleep.

Victoria: That's a boring reason.

Me: I know. But hey, who knows what'll happen next!
