Hello all! I was able to finish my psychology project early! So here we go! Please review! (no flames please) I know I am going a little off book with this story, but I feel this is necessary to continue the story. I love Harry Potter and have no ill will towards it! Please review!
And to cartoonlover 1 Thanks for being #1! (literally, you are the first to review!) you asked and I decided to make some time and get his chapter done!
Danny's P.O.V.
We were at dinner with me, Tuck, and Ron packing away the food. It wouldn't be so unusual if Harry wasn't pushing around his mashed potatoes or mash as they call it around with his fork.
"Harry, its ok Umbridge is a complete troll! No, literally, i think she is part troll!" I said, trying to cheer Harry up.
"I can't believe people are just going to go around unprepared and unaware of whats going on! The ministry is actually helping Voldemort!" Harry said.
"And what about our O.W.L.'s!" Hermione complained, "How are we supposed to pass if we don't use magic!"
Harry just looked more and more mad as he thought about it. "We need to fight back" I said and everyone turned to me with surprise "How?" Harry asked
"I don't know, how do you get back at someone in the wizarding world? But at least for regular people you give them he exact opposite of what they want. Drives them insane every time." I said and Hermione's eyes lit up "I think I may have something! Tell everyone that believes Harry and hates Umbridge to meet us at the Hog's Head the next Hogsmead visit in 2 weeks!"
"Ok, um why?" Ron said "Just trust me" Hermione said "I need to do some research" she said and got up and left.
"Ok, I don't really know anyone so I guess it will be up to you two" I said pointing at Harry and Ron with my fork and then taking another bite of heavenly meatloaf.
"Ok, but I wonder what she is planning." Harry said looking off, deep in thought. I was on my 3rd plate, 'hey a ghost metabolism is really high!' when I heard an explosion. Everyone started running outside and onto the grounds.
I looked up and saw the green and metal ghost firing missiles at the castle, but the magical protection held. I felt the cold breath mist come out my mouth like a burp. 'ugghh duh!' I thought to myself!
"I know you are here ghost child!" He yelled. Sam and Tucker turned to me and I nodded I ran back, against the crowd, until I found a tapestry and transformed. I quickly flew up and grabbed the thermos from my dorm and phased through the wall and flew at Skulker.
"Where is he! Come out now whelp and I may spare these pathetic humans!" Skulker yelled. "Looking for me!" I yelled and everyone turned around. "Finally! Though you could escape from me!? The Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter!" He yelled. I yawned. "Ya,ya Skulker can we just skip the part of you wanting my pelt and get to me kicking you metal butt back to the ghost zone." I said and cracked my knuckles.
"Your pelt will rest a the foot of my belt ghost child!" Skulker yelled and charged. I flew straight a him he got in the first shot, sending me back and making my jaw ache. I charged up my hands and shot 3 beams at him then creating and eco-ball to throw at him. He dodged one, but not the other 2 blasts and the eco-ball hit him square in the chest. Skulker regrouped and shot a couple missiles at me. I flew around the first, phased through the second, but the thrid went off next to me and sent me falling to the ground.
My fall had created a little mini crater. I slowly got up, rubbing my head, and turned to see the shocked faces of the students and professors. I nodded and waved then flew back up at Skulker.
"Lets just end this!" I yelled flying at him at my top speed 215 mph, arms extended hitting him in the jaw sending him reeling. I grabbed Skulker by the back part f his armor "How did you find me" I growled, my other hand glowing "I am the greatest hunter! And Walker still want you! He has a big reward to whoever captures you!" Skulker said.
I lifted the thermos "Bye, bye, Skulker!" I said, allowing my eco-energy flow into the thermos, powering it up. The beam of light shot out and started sucking Skulker in. "I will have your pelt one day ghost child!" He yelled, sucked into the thermos. "Ya, whatever metal head." I said floating down.
I saw the professors and students staring at me, most with mouths a gap. "Um Hi, again. Sorry about that Dumbledore. Skukler must have been able to track me here." I said rubbing my neck.
"Thats alright my dear boy, i thank you for protecting this school." Dumbledore said. "Protected!" I heard a shrill voice cry out. I groaned. "Dumbledore, this ghost has deliberately brought danger to this school! He must be asked to leave now." Umbridge said crossing her arms, looking at me with disgust.
"I don't think that's your call to make. Dumbledore asked me to be here and I will stay as long as this school needs me. Besides, like you could capture me and force me to leave." I smirked also crossing my arms.
"Is that a threat!?" Umbridge said her voice rising. "No, but you may want to watch your step around me. I will protect this school from whatever or whoever threatens it. "I said.
"Sorry again Dumbledore, I'll try to make less damage next time." I said "Next time!?" Umbridge looked about to loose it. "Ya, sorry again, maybe we should talk in your office." I said.
"Yes. Everyone! Back to your dorms!" He said and all the students began shuffling back in Sam, Tuck, Harry and Ron, lagged a bit but I nodded and they continued to the common room. I flew up "see you there! i jut need to check and see if there are any other ghosts around here." Dumbledore nodded and started to walk inside with the other professors.
I flew around and didn't see or feel anything with my ghost sense. I can't release Skulker or he will tell every villain where I am, and I don't have a portal any way.
I flew to Dumbledore's tower and phased through. I saw Dumbledore behind his desk with Professor McGonagall and Snape at his side. My heart dropped when I saw Umbridge there. "Why is she here?" I whined.
"I am the High inquisitor and have the right to be at these types of meetings." She said , unfolding a sheet of paper, with multiple stamps an signatures.
Dumbledore sighed. "I am sorry Danny, my hands are tied. Now, let us discuss the matter at hand. Shall we?" Dumbledore said, trying to keep the mood cheery.
"Well, that was Skulker, the 'Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter'" I said, doing my best impersonation. "He has been hunting me for over a year now trying to get my pelt" I shuttered and so did Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape. "Ya, he sees me a prey cause I am different and has gotten his metal butt beaten trying to capture me. He was also kinda sent here by Walker, another ghost that hates my guts." I rubbed my neck "You see Walker is the self appointed warden of the ghost zone. With rules about everything! He makes most of them up as he goes along anyway! I and a couple other ghosts were able to escape him and he made it his personal vendetta to try and imprison me. He even tried to turn, and kinda did, the town against me! But now he has set out a reward on my head, but the ghosts that even get out of the ghost zone and find me i should be able to handle." i said. Dumbledore nodded but Umbridge looked outraged.
"You brought a criminal to Hogwarts!" Umbridge said. "Hey! I was minding my own business the first time and then trying to get back a present that was accidentally lost in the ghost zone!" I said.
"How long would your sentence have been?" McGonagall asked. "Well before it was like 1,000 years. Now I think its up to about.." i said counting my fingers "23,000. Ya,he really doesn't like me!" I laughed a bit.
Umbridge still looked mad "What is this ghost zone you have been taking about?"
"Its a world, parallel to our own, really creepy. Every ghost pretty much lives there or has a haunt in the human world. Its full of all these doors and floating islands. The doors can lead you to one ghost's lair. The entire place is pretty much one big green swirling mess." I said. Umbridge still looked peeved. "Dumbledore, this ghost is a danger to the school.." she began to say and I interrupted her.
"Hey, i will defend this school. There hasn't been a ghost out there I haven't been able to handle yet!" I said puffing out my chest a bit.
Dumbledore nodded. "Is there anything you would need? Maybe we can provide some assistance?" Dumbledore said. "Well, if i can get my hands on some modern tech I can MAYBE build a ghost shield, but I can't promise much." I said, shaking my head.
"Very well, now head off young Danny. If you need anything just ask." Dumbledore said smiling. I saluted and flew off. I flew around the school for a while. It has been forever since I have been able to do my flyovers. I look around and don't see anyone. I fly up high and transform, falling to earth. I wait till I am about 100 ft from the ground and transform again. I do think for a while then flying back into the castle and transforming behind a tapestry. I walked up to the Fat Lady portrait and walked into the common room.
"Danny!" Sam said catching me in a big hug. I blushed as it probably lasted a bit too long. "Man! Phantom tonight was on fire!" Dean said. "Did you see how he took out that one ghost!"
"And Umbridge! Man!"
"Phantom was so unbelievable!"
"I hope we get to see him soon!"
I heard all the conversations about Phantom ranging from wondering about his background, to his powers, and other things. I smiled a bit sitting down in between Sam and Tucker on one of the couches in front of the fire.
"So Hermione whats this big idea you have?" I asked. "Later" She whispered and when pretty much everyone had gone to bed, she began.
"Well i thought about what you and Harry where saying and thought if she won't teach us, we will!" She whispered. "Brilliant!" Ron said a little bit to loud, which resulted in a well placed hit on the back of the head from Hermione.
"Awesome!" I said, whispering this time "But how are we going to do this?" Harry said. "Well, we need people, a teacher, and a place. The people we can maybe recruit, but the teacher and the place, well. I was hoping you would teach, Harry" She said.
"I don't know Hermione." Harry said "You have the most experience!" Hermione said. "I'm not very good at teaching." Harry said looking down.
"We can help, we have been fighting ghosts for over a year now! And I am sure Phantom would be glad to pitch in too" I winked.
"Ok, but we need to figure out a place." Harry said. "Lets get to that later" I yawned "Fighting Skulker took it out of me"
"Lets all get to bed" Hermione said and we all went upstairs and promptly fell asleep.
*2 WEEKS LATER*
We were heading to Hogsmead! Everyone was super exited but we wouldn't be seeing much of the town. We had a meeting to attend. Hermione lead us to the Hogshead, a decreped bar with only one other person and the barkeep in there.
We walked in and Hermione set up a quill and parchment. People started to pour in filling the bar for probably the first time in years. Once it looked like everyone who was coming was here Hermione stood up. "We are all here because we need to know how to fight.. Voldemort." She chocked out.
"Umbridge and the Ministry won't teach us. We need to form this group so we can be prepared to defend ourselves." Hermione said.
"But what if Voldemort isn't back?" Seamus said. "I mean no one really knows what happened that night." he said and Harry stood up.
"If you are here so you can hear me tell you what happened that night, you can just leave. I fought Voldemort and barely escaped with my life." He said and Hermione put her hand on his shoulder
"Yes, and we need that experience. Thats why we are forming Dumbledore's Army." She said proudly, I smilied too I came up with the name in the middle of the night and was pretty proud of myself.
People shuffled a bit and then started heading up to the front. We got almost 25 signatures! Hermione explained as people were signing and handing them an enchanted galleon. "This will turn hot and vibrate when we are about to have a meeting. We will send word where the first meeting will be soon."
Walking back, most of us split off to avoid suspicion. "We need a place to practice" Hermione said.
"Forbidden Forest?"
"No, to dangerous."
"Maybe an old classroom?"
"No, to risky"
"How about i fly around tonight to see if there are any secret rooms we can use?" I volunteered.
"Sure, that will be perfect!" Hermione said. "What if someone betrays us though?" Ron said "I jinxed the parchment, trust me NO one will want to tell." Hermione smiled.
*LATER THAT NIGHT*
I had been flying around for over an hour, I had a couple places in mind, but none seemed right. I was on the 7th floor, pacing. I was thinking 'I need to find a place where we can practice' untill the 3rd time I passed the wall a door appeared!
I walked inside and gasped! It was perfect! I quickly figured out the secret of the room and flew back to bed.
The next morning I rushed Harry, Hermione, Ron, Sam, and Tucker to the corridor and showed them. "The Room of Requirement" Hermione explained.
We decided to contact the others and set the next meeting for 1 week from next Saturday.
