I own nothing, not the characters, the space where this story exists, or even the eyes that you are using to read it. This is for entertainment purposes only, no money involved.

This story is being made as a challenge to my self to see how fast I can pump out chapters if I don't care about plot, canon, relevance, length, spelling, grammar, or continuity (Since those things are were most of my time go).

It started because someone asked just how fast can I write a story when I try. So at the end of ever chapter I will put down the number of hours, minutes and seconds the chapter took to write.

But the rule is that I have to put out one chapter every day and can't start on the next chapter until the next day.

This will not be my best work, but it will hopefully be entertaining.

Lets see how long I can last.

Chapter 3

And so it begins

Danny had found a compartment on the train all to himself and had placed his luggage there. Danny then started to walk around the train to see if there was anything special about the train. After a good thirty minute of wandering however, Danny found himself disappointed at how ordinary the magical train was.

He was just going to head back when he saw two girls around his age being harassed by three older looking boys, two of which looked like they were trying to be the biggest and dumbest looking things on the train and the other was smaller blond and for some reason reminded Danny of a ferret.

As Danny approached the group he heard the ferret boy start talking. "I am not surprised that you choose to hand out with filth like Loony Lovegood, hay Weasley." He snared.

By this time Danny was right behind him and with confidence and dripping with sarcasm said, "My goodness do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" His words had an interesting effect on the older boys, as they jumped up from surprise just as the train started moving, causing them to fall all over each other.

Danny couldn't help laughing at the older boys as they tried to get up. The Blond one caught him off guard though when he suddenly said, "Laugh will you can Potter. You're no better than the Weasley girl."

"Excess me, but I think you got the wrong guy. Have we met?" Danny said with a curious look on his face. He had expected a lot of thing, but his birth name was not one of them.

The three boys were now back on their feet, and glaring daggers at Danny who laughed again. "No, you have the same stupid hair and laugh as the Potter boy, but you don't have glasses and your younger, not to mention the scar. Who are you?" The boy spat.

"Wow, look at mister high and mighty, demanding someone's name before giving his own." Danny said, rolling his eyes, two months away from all human contacted, save his friends over the Fenton Phones, cured him of all social anxieties and left him pretty sarcastic.

The boy's glare depended. "Fine, I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Malfoy said sounding more like a pompous fool the even Technes.

Danny couldn't help laughing openly about the 'James Bond' style introduction. "Well then Draco, my name is Danny. Good to meet you." Danny held out his hand, but was not surprised when Malfoy didn't take it.

"What about your last name."

"Clockwork." Danny said with a smile.

"I've never heard of a wizarding family in England named Clockwork." Malfoy snared.

"You wouldn't, I am an American and my father and I are the only ones that use the name." Danny said not missing a beat.

"So you're from a second rate family just like these two." Malfoy said.

"Who knows and who really cares. After what happened with Voldemort, I would rather not be a pure blooded baby murderer." Danny said, his smile looking a bit darker. Enjoying how everyone flinched when he said Voldemort.

"Take. That. Back." Malfoy spat, glaring even more if that was even possible. His henchmen leaning over Danny trying to intimidate him, though compared to Skulker they were tiny.

"Ancients, how do you make that face, it looks really painful." Danny said while never losing his smile. The two larger boys tried to grab Danny but he was too quick. He grabbed one by the wrist a flipped him into a door for one of the compartments. The boy fell knocking the door open and startling the group of second years that were on the other side of it. At the same time Danny had maneuvered his staff between the other boy's legs and with a twist he toppled over landing on top of his friend.

There was a look of shock on Malfoy's face as both of his body guards were taken down by one lone boy only half their size. He quickly turned and ran leaving his friends behind. "Well now, I don't suppose you two have anywhere to sit now." Danny said, turning to the girl and getting his first good look at them. One was a red haired girl and the other had blond hair. The red head had a look of shock on her face will the blond girl's expression was much harder to read.

"No we don't." said the blond haired girl. "My name is Luna Lovegood by the way."

"And I am Ginny Weasley." Said the other, "and no we don't have seats yet."

"Danny Clockwork," Danny said, "and I had a compartment to myself a little up the way." Danny pointed up the hall. "You're welcome to join me."

After they reached the compartment and closed the door there were a few moments before Ginny asked the first question. "I haven't seen you around Hogwarts before, what house and year are you in, you look to old to be a first year?"

Danny replied, "This is going to be my first year at Hogwarts, but I am going to be in third and fourth year classes. My dad home schooled me, but I am thirteen so I guess that would put me in the third year."

Ginny eyes widened, she had never hear of someone transferring into Hogwarts let alone while skipping years. "So you are the same age we are. I wander what house you will be in?"

"Don't know," Danny said, "What are you two in?"

"I am in Ravenclaw, it is nice there." Luna said in her strange sing song voice. "It's those who are considered very smart. Maybe you will end up there since you managed to skip some classes."

Danny gave a sad chuckle, "Doubt it, people say I am as dense as they come." He lend back on his bench. "I still don't know what my friends mean when they call me the clueless one. And each time I asked them about it they just laughed and said that if I knew then I wouldn't be clueless."

"Well I am in Gryffindor, it suppose to be the house for the brave or in some cases just those who are too thick in the head to quit." Ginny said, laughing at the last part.

Danny sat up straighter then, "Now that sounds more like me." He said with a laugh. "I have been known to fight people who I can't hope to win against if my friends need me to. And I never give up until I win."

Ginny smiled thinking that she probably had herself a new house member. "Is that how you learned to fight back there?" Ginny asked.

"That was not a fight; it was just me showing three jokers that you shouldn't pick on people younger than you just because you think you are stronger than them." Danny said smiling. "If it had been a fight someone would have gotten hurt instead of just knock-out."

Ginny's eyes widened again, 'he didn't even consider that a real fight?' she asked herself.

Danny broke her concentration by asking his own question. "Since I was home school in magic I never really learned anything about magical society, could you tell me what Quidditch is?" Ginny smiled again, and they spent the rest of the train ride taking about the wizard world, as well as recapping over the last two years at Hogwarts. Ginny noticed that Danny seemed to squirm whenever Harry was mentions but quickly dismissed it.

Soon they had reached the train station and were getting off, but it had started to rain. Danny spotted an extremely large man shouting for first years, and decided that he should head over. "See you guys later." Danny said as he waved goodbye to Luna and Ginny.

"Excuse me." Danny said to the giant of a man.

"oh, 'arry didn' see ya there." The man said.

"Sorry, but I am not Harry, my names Danny I am a transfer student." Danny said stick out his hand. Which the man took and shook hard enough to almost take Danny's arm off.

"'orry 'bout that, ya look just like 'im from up 'ere." The giant started, "my name is Rubeus Hagrid. I am there grounds keeper as well the Professor for Care of Magical Creatures."

"Nice to meet you Professor Hagrid." Danny replied with a smile.

"It is too bad it had to be raining today. Ya and them first year be soaked through by the time we get to the castle." Danny could say the boats that they were meant to go in. And went and climbed into one.

There were two children per boat and after they started moving Danny decided to try out a bit of spirit weaving. "Hagrid, I am going to try something real quick." Danny stood up and braised himself as well as he could with his feet. Holding his staff out in front of him he chanted, "Ario… Shavanera… Erecten… Spiritus!" Danny shouted the last word. Then all of the first years lifted their head, which they had been covering, and looked up as the rain seemed to have stopped. The rain had not stopped but it seemed to be hitting and invisible shield and slide down the side. And there Danny stood with his staff shining with a toxic green light holding back the elements.

"Blamey Danny, where ya learn to do that?" Hagrid asked.

"My dad taught me." Danny replied simple.

"Well how long can you keep it up?" Hagrid asked in wander of the magic this young boy was performing.

"Don't know," Danny said, "never tried holding it up for more them two minutes. But I guess we'll see." Danny said with a smile.

Danny kept the shield up until they had reached the grand doors to enter the castle. Danny finally lowered his shield. His stomach growling at him for burning so much of his energy.

"Ya, did good Danny." Hagrid said giving Danny a pat on the back that threatened to knock him over.

"Thanks"

"I will be seeing you all later; Professor McGonagall will be bringing you in for your Sorting." Hagrid said, turning around and going back into the Great Hall. Danny could vaguely sense ghosts nearby, but nothing that was strong enough to set off his mist breath. 'So this is Hogwarts,' Danny said to himself with a smile, 'well I guess I would have some fun here.' Then an elderly woman walked out to them and they all turned their attention to her.

This chapter was completed in 1 hour 23 minutes and 49 seconds. (I had to look up some peoples names and that slowed me down a little. Same with Hagrid's accent, which I neither know nor care if I got it right.)

I pulled the magic words out of thin air because creating a pattern for the words to follow would take more than four seconds.

HOLY SHIT! I think this is the furthest I have ever gotten in writing a story without there being a major fight scene! Seriously, three whole chapters and not one person beaten to a pulp yet! A new personal record... I has problems.

If you ask what kind of plans I have for this story, the answer is no. I don't really have any plans. I'm just winging it.

Day 3 complete. (No I am not getting a beta for this story because that would defeat the point. I am trying to put in as little effort as humanly possible.)
