Hey everyone! Ready for the 1st DA meeting?
Hope you enjoy! Review!
Danny's POV
Today was the day! Me, Harry, and everyone headed to the Room before the meeting. "So, whats on the agenda for the 1st meeting Harry?" I asked when we walked into the mirrored room.
"Well, I was thinking we start out with stupefying and shielding spells." Harry said. "Awesome, I wanted to ask you. Do you want Phantom to make an appearance?" I asked.
"Sure, maybe a little bit into the meeting." Harry said, and then everyone started walking in. Once everyone was there Harry cleared his throat.
"Welcome to our 1st meeting. We are all here because we need to learn how to defend ourselves. The Ministry and Umbridge won't teach us, so we will. Every great wizard was once in our shoes. They were all students. If they can do it, why can't we?" Harry said.
"Now, we will start with the basics of stupefying. It's like the wizard's bread and butter for defense." Harry started but was interrupted by Seamus "Why aren't we starting with more powerful spells?"
"This is a very useful spell. It even saved my life when I fought Voldemort." Harry said and the room looked shocked. "Now, I need a volunteer... Danny?" Harry asked.
I walked with him to the center of the room and stood about 10 feet apart. "Ready?" Harry asked and I nodded. "Stupify!" Harry yelled and a red light shot at me.
I felt like something punched me in the chest and I fell back. I got up quick and smirked "Good shot"
"Thanks Danny" Harry said. "Now, lets pair up and practice." Harry said and everyone started practicing. Harry was walking around helping out and observing. He winked at me and I took that as a hint. I thought of leaving the room to transform when I saw a door appear on my right and I opened it. I saw a lab like the one back home, minus the portal. There were lab tables with ghost weapons and other gadgets. The door had closed behind me and I transformed.
"I'm goin' ghost!" and the blue rings appeared and transformed me. I phased through the door and turned invisible. Everyone was casting spells and Harry looked pleased. I flew towards him and tapped his shoulder. He looked around and he understood I was there.
"Ok, now, I think thats really good for today." Harry said and everyone put down their wands.
"We have a guest now." Harry said gesturing in my direction. Everyone except Sam, Tucker, Ron, and Hermione looked like he was crazy.
I grinned and turned visible. There was a gasp in the room and I smiled. "Hello, you may remember me. I'm Phantom and I am here to help." I said.
"Yes, Phantom has kindly volunteered to look out for and help us." Harry said.
"Can I ask you a question?" Neville asked. "Sure, fire away!"
"Well, if you don't mind. I mean if it isn't to much for you to answer.. How old are you?" Neville asked. I smiled. "I am almost 15." I said.
"You died 15 years ago?" Neville asked. "No if I was alive I would be 15." I said and many gasped.
"How did you die? I.. I mean if thats ok with you?" Dean asked. "No problem at all. I died about... a year ago. I was 14 and my parents were inventors. I died in a lab accident." I said.
"I'm sorry" Neville said. "Not at all! Being a ghost can be hard at times, but it has a lot of perks." I said. "Now, lets move onto DA business. Harry?" I said.
"Yes, Phantom will be helping us throughout our meetings." Harry said. "Yes, now, continue with your lesson Harry." I said and Harry demonstrated with Hermione and everyone started practicing.
Harry stopped everyone after a while and talked about the next meeting being next Saturday. "Now, don't all leave at once, or it will look suspicious." I said.
A couple people went out the front door when another door appeared and we discovered it let out further down the corridor.
When everyone left I transformed. "This room is amazing." Harry said.
"Ya, let me show you something. I was thinking of sneaking away, to transform, and this door appeared." I said showing them the door.
"And look what I found inside." I said opening the door. They all gasped when they went inside. "Wow, Danny, this looks like your parent's lab back home." Sam said.
"I know! Well except for the portal, but a lot of the same inventions and gadgets are here." I said. "That's great!" Harry said. "Dumbledore said Voldemort might be using ghosts in some of his plans, so this lab will be useful." Hermione said, examining on of the gadgets. "Can you teach us how to use some of these weapons?" Harry said. "Sure, I'll get some weapons and we can practice at the next DA meeting." I said. "We should go, people might start getting suspicious." Hermione said. "Ok" I said and we all walked out of the lab, and the Room.
Thats when the cold mist burst out of my mouth and I curse under my breath. "Crap, its a ghost. Gotta go guys. Sam, Tuck?" I said. They assumed the usual positions, shielding me from everyone's view. "Goin' ghost!" I said. The blue rings of light forming around my waist. "Danny!" Sam said handing me the Thermos. "Thanks." I said.
I flew up and phased through the castle walls. I looked around and then got blasted with a purple fist about 20 feet. "Hey dipstick, long time no see" Ember said.
"Ember, still playing horrible music. I caught your boyfriend a couple weeks ago, he was really easy." I mocked.
Ember growled "Prepare to be turned into paste, you little dipstick. And hows that little girlfriend of yous?" Ember smirked. "She's not my girlfriend!" I yelled and charged.
Ember struck another cord and green arcs shot out at me. I dodged, and shot three eco-blasts at her. Two missed, but one hit its mark. "You'll pay for that ghost kid." She yelled and turned the dial on her guitar up. She struck her guitar, releasing a large blast of sound. I took a deep breath and let loos my ghostly wail. The two waves battled, but mine won out. It knocked Ember to the ground, and snapped her strings. "Walker wants your head on a silver plate ghost kid, and everyone is looking for you. You're days are numbered!" She yelled.
"Ya, whatever princess." I said, pointing the Thermos at her. The blue light shot out and sucked here into the Fenton Thermos. I closed it and flew to Dumbledore's office. I phased through the walls and saw him at his desk. "Ah Danny, how are you?" He asked, getting up from his chair. "Ok, I just had to fight another ghost. She was easy, but I'm sorry about some of the damage." I said, rubbing my neck. "No problem, my boy. I thank you for your service to this school. Might I ask about this ghost?" he said.
"Sure, her name is Ember. She is obsessed with her music and her power comes from people chanting her name. She was hard the first couple times I battled her, but it was pretty easy this time." I said.
"I see, do you need any assistance with any of your ghost enemies?" Dumbledore asked. "I'll be fine, the only ghost I'm really scared of is locked away in Clockwork's tower." I said looking down. Dumbledore patted my shoulder "Thats alright, Danny. Now, I believe it is almost time for dinner." Dumbledore said walking to the door. "You may want to change." He winked and I flew off.
I trasnformed behind a suit of armor and found everyone in the Great Hall.
"Hey Danny! Who was it this time?" Tucker asked. "Ember, she was pretty easy." I said. "Ughh, I hate her." Sam said. "Why?" Harry asked.
"Cause she made Danny fall head over heels in love with Sam the first time we fought here." Tucker said grinning. "Really!?" Hermione said, smiling.
I groaned "I was under a spell!" I said, throwing my hands up in the air. Ron laughed "That's rich!"He said. Sam glared at Tucker and punched him in the arm. "Hey!" he said, rubbing his arm. "Don't say a word Foley." She said, her eyes screaming of murder. Tucker gulped and turned to his mashed potatoes.
Harry laughed. "So how did you think the meeting went today?" he asked. "Great! You are a natural teacher, Harry." I said. "Thanks, and thanks to Phantom for making an appearance." he said.
"No problem, anything to put Umbridge in her place." I said. "Ugh that reminds me, I have detention tomorrow." Harry groaned. "It can't be that bad. She will probably make you clean something, or write lines." I said.
"Ya, I'm not looking forward to being in her company anymore than I have to." Harry said. "I hear that." I said, biting my roll.
*THE NEXT DAY*
Harry had been in detention for most of the morning. Hermione was helping us out with our homework, when Harry walked in. He was clutching his hand, and had an angry expression on his face. "You ok Harry? Was dentention..." I started to say, when my head dropped. I saw a slight tinge of red on Harry's hand. I jumped over a chair, to Harry. I grabbed his hand "Hey!" he started to protest. I pulled his hand away, and got a look at it. I gasped. I saw the words 'I must not tell lies' his hand was still a little bloody, but it was clogging up, and scabs were beginning to form. "Harry..." I said.
He pulled his hand away and Hermione walked up to him "You have to tell Dumbledore!" She said. "No, he's to busy as it is. And what would it do, she has the ministry behind her." Harry said.
I sighed "I understand Harry, but you should still tell him. Here, let me help." I said, extending my hand. Harry put his scared hand into mine and I formed a cold ice wrap. "Here, this will help with the pain. It can't melt, since its ghostly ice." I sad putting the wrap on his hand. "ahh" Harry said, relief showing on his face.
"I'm sorry this happened to you." I said. "It's not your fault Danny, but this needs to push us harder in the DA." Harry said.
"Darn right we are! We need to prove her wrong." I said. Harry and everyone smiled, and we started discussing the next meeting.
Sooo... what do you think? I am sorry about the dentention issue, but I remebered about 1/2 way through I forgot to put it in so I decided to move it here. I will be updating soon. Thanksgiving break is gonna give me a lot of time!
