Chapter 4: Explanation

Rated T for Teen

It was the day before the one that Danny was supposed to leave for some place were the student who was going to teach him magic was. The thirty-first of July to be exact. It was ten forty-two and Danny was in his room trying to watch an episode of Family Guy. He knew that he should be getting some sleep, but he couldn't. He was nervous about tomorrow. Not say that he wasn't excited, he was, but he was just a little nervous too. He wondered if this Hermione Granger girl was nice.

He chuckled a little when Stewie said "No, I'm saying Santa's thin--GET IN THERE AND THROW UP!"

Then, he sighed. He was so nervous about the new school. He was going to be a new kid that really wasn't supposed to be there, everyone was probably going to avoid him like he had the bubonic plague. He also wondered if this school had sport. Would they be the sports that regular people--Dumbledore called them Muggles--or if they had their own sports? He guessed that he would find out eventually.

A little while later, Danny was just about to fall to sleep, when it stuck him. Why did he just get accepted now if the spike in his magic had going on all throughout the year?

Danny thought for a moment before it came to him. Clockwork! He would definitely know why!

Danny jumped out his bed and ran to get some clothes on. If you don't know, he never really wears anything but pajama bottoms to bed anymore. But anyway, back to Danny who was currently yanking a randomly picked New Orleans Saints t-shirt over his head. After this was done, he quietly ran downstairs to the basement and was about to jump into the Spector Speeder when he asked himself why he was taking that when he had ghost powers. He pivoted on his feet and ran to the portal controls. Swiping his hand quickly across the scanner, he waited impatiently as the portal doors opened. He ran to the opening and flung him through the opening. As he was jumping in, white rings of light passed over his body. His black hair, blue eyes, and college-football-shirt-and-black-pajama-pants outfit became white hair, glowing green eyes, and a black jumpsuit with white gloves, boots, collar, and belt. With that, he flew off to Clockwork's mysterious time castle.

"I was wondering if you would ever show up." Clockwork teased while changing from the form of a child to the stature of a nicely build adult.

"Oh, ha, ha." Danny said as he floated down to the floor and reverted to human form. "You knew I was coming."

"Of course I did, which means I also know why you're here." Clockwork smirked. "You're wondering why you weren't excepted into Hogwarts earlier."

It wasn't a question, just a statement of the obvious fact.

"Yeah, I was kind of wondering if you could fill me in on that." Danny asked sheepishly, shifting from one foot to another.

"Of course, child." Clockwork answered. "Now, there's a reason for you're absence in Hogwarts. It is the fact that Amity Park would not have survived without your protection."

"I know- but, wait. If it can't survive without me, why should I abandon it now?" Danny asked worriedly.

"Don't worry Daniel, you are going to Hogwarts now because Amity Park can take care of themselves." Clockwork said.

Danny winced, Amity Park didn't need him anymore? That kind of hurt inside. Okay, kind of isn't right. Really hurt is the correct phrase.

His feeling must have showed on his face, because Clockwork hastily added "Not like that, Daniel. They'll be safe as in the hands of your family and friends. I wouldn't even be allowing you to go to Hogwarts if it wasn't important."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Hogwarts is in great peril. Not just Hogwarts, the entire world as we know it. And you're going to have to help stop it. Now I'm not saying that you need to steal the spotlight for two reasons. One, this is a spotlight that you definitely do not want. And two, it's not your destiny to save this world be yourself, but it is your destiny to help the boy who's supposed to save it."

"Okay then…" Danny answered, slightly confused.

"Don't worry, child." Clockwork said. "It will all be clear soon."

"Uh-huh…" Danny said, not completely convinced.

"Now, if I am correct, and I always am, it is eleven thirty-eight, you might want to start your trek home if you want to get a good nights sleep."

"Okay. And thanks!" Danny yelled over his shoulder as he started the long trek home.

Hmm… am I putting to many chapters into this story? Don't worry, the chapters will get longer when they get to Hogwarts. And if you're wondering about the Family Guy thing, it's a funny show, but kids under the age of eighteen aren't supposed to watch the show. But... I do anyway. :)
