In this, the identity of Danny Phantom is only known to the citizens of Amity Park, and Team Phantom has pleaded with them to keep this a secret. The Ministry of Magic opened investigations after Phantom Planet, but Team Phantom is naturally secretive- the Ministry representatives don't seem too friendly. And honestly, how many people outside Amity are going to believe in halfas? Ghosts maybe, but half-ghosts? Nah. However, Team Phantom and the Fentons are found to have magical talent, possibly due to the extensive exposure to ectoplasmic energy. Since the Fenton parents are too old and/or have comparatively little talent, only Team Phantom is chosen to attend Hogwarts as exchange students.

This is a scene of Danny's sorting. There will be drabbles about the sorting of the other members of Team Phantom, but they will be posted separately, and in order of their sorting. Assume that all exchange students have their names called out at the end, after all the first years. This is just a drabble, so do not ask what year they are in- even I don't know.

"Fenton, Daniel!"
Danny climbed the few stairs to the stool, edgy at how the entire school's eyes were on him. Picking up the Hat, he sat himself down and placed it onto his messy black locks. Despite the warning they had received in advance from the Headmaster, he jumped when the Hat began to speak.

Hmm. A very interesting mind. You have a secret- one that you fear will bring harm to you and those around you. No small amount of courage either; my, my, the things you have achieved! Defeating Pariah Dark-

Frantic, Danny had to resist the urge to blast the Hat, and resorted to yelling, How do you know all this?

That is my job, you know, the Hat informed him huffily. Don't worry, all this will be confidential. And just think normally, boy. I can hear your thoughts just fine without you broadcasting them like a foghorn!

The halfa sighed in relief. The Hat continued: But behind all that, you fear the return of your dark self, although you already possess some of the qualities that he did: a keen strategic mind, determination for a cause at any cost-

Only if it is a cost to myself, Danny countered. Look, I know where this is going, but if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not be in Slytherin. I know the whole thing about facing your fears making you a better person and all that, but I'm not an ordinary person. I've faced my fear before, and I know what will happen if I fail. It doesn't just affect me. Hundreds of innocents could be slaughtered, including my friends. Would you bring that down upon the school?Because that is a risk I'm not willing to take. If you sort me into Slytherin, I'm leaving Hogwarts.

In the depths of his mind, he muttered lowly to himself. Sometimes I think it would be better for Jazz, Tuck and Sam if they would realise how dangerous I am and just stay away from Phantom.

My dear boy, you truly do not understand what your friendship is worth to them, do you? Perhaps that lesson will be best learnt in HUFFLEPUFF!

Taking the Hat off, Danny managed to walk down the steps to the floor and glance at the rest of Team Phantom before he burst out laughing. He really couldn't help himself; amid the stares of the entire Hogwarts population, he laughed himself silly, hands clutching his stomach.

Tucker was the first to get it. Chuckling, he whispered two words to the puzzled Jazz and Sam: "Little Badger."

It wasn't long before the entire Team Phantom was rolling on the floor with mirth, leaving Hogwarts firmly convinced that their new exchange students were very, very crazy indeed.
