Fenton residence.
The party at the Fentons kicks off, and everyone has arrived. His Parents and Sister, His Uncle, And His two best friends. Samantha Manson(Sam for friends) And Tucker Foley. Sam and Tucker have been Danny's best friends since kindergarten.
But Danny now has to tell them. Danny has to go to school in Britain without revealing. That Danny is, in fact, a Wizard.
Danny pulls them aside and says."Guys, I have to tell you something. My birth parents signed me up for their old school. And I got a Letter in the mail. That says I start on September 1." Tucker says."That blows. But it's not like it's in another country or something." Danny says."It's in England." Sam Asks."New England?" And Danny replies."The one in Europe."
They both look surprised but then hug Danny. and Sam says."Dont worry, Danny. We can still hang out like always during the Summer and Winter breaks." Tucker adds."We can still write to each other." Danny notes sadly."But It won't be the same without you."
Maddy, who walks in. says. "That is one of the lesser fun parts of growing up. Now, kids, let's go downstairs. It's time for cake."
Everyone is having a slice of chocolate cake. And then it's time for the best part of any birthday party. Danny gets to open his Presents. From Jack and Maddy, he gets a camera. From Jazz, he gets two empty books.
Tucker and Sam give him a movie ticket for the newest "Talking Animal Film(Horror movie)" and a new video game. And Uncle Vlad says he will get his gift tomorrow.
The party dies down, and everyone goes home. Vlad is the exception.
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts.
McGonagall is walking around the corridor. She Wondering to herself why she agreed. To let Dumbledore hide the Philosopher's Stone. In Hogwarts, despite the dangers.
Sybill Trelawney walks up to Minerva and says in a raspy voice. "The Chosen One awakens tonight. He and Nine others shall unite. And they shall change the wizarding world forever. And in the end, the Dark Lord shall tremble at the wrath of the Halfa."
She then seems to come back to normal and says."Hello, Minerva. Could you tell me what im doing here?" McGonagall says."I have been wondering about that. From the moment you showed up. Good day, Sybill."
McGonagall walks away and thinks to herself. "Divination is such a woolly subject."
After the Party. In the lab.
Jack says."The party is over. Now, how do we do this?" Vlad says."Oh, Jack, may I? You won't have to give me anything for Christmas." Jack says."Go ahead, V-man." Jack Internally says."Im still going to get him something for Christmas."
Vlad clears his throat and shouts."Young Man, you are not allowed to go to the lab tonight. Is that understood?" Danny Yells back."I was not going to. Geez."
Vlad says to Jack and Maddy."And now we wait. I give it an hour."
An Hour Later.
Danny is Looking around in the lab. He sees the Portal. Danny thinks to himself. "Wow, I can't believe they built a working portal. And to another Dimension." He finds the plug and thinks to himself while plugging it in."A quick look won't hurt anyone."
He sees a Hazmat suit and puts it on. He thinks to himself."Safety first." He walks into the Portal. And He accidentally presses the ON button.
The Portal activates. Danny's very DNA becomes infused with Ecto Energy. He Becomes a Half-Human Wizard/Half Ghost. And soon Danny passes out.
A few hours later. Danny slowly wakes up and hears his parents and uncle talking.
Jack says."So how did you know it was going to work, V-man?" Vlad replies."Well, Jack, it's psychology 101. Tell an eleven-year-old boy not to do something. And he will most likely do it." Maddy says."I hope we did the right thing."
Danny asks."What Happened?" His uncle says."Why dont you walk towards the mirror, Daniel? And see for yourself." Danny gets up and walks towards the mirror.
In his reflection, he sees that he has white hair. And he has crimson-red eyes. His lightning bolt scar is gone. His white Hazmat suit is now black, with the gloves being white. Danny asks. "What Happened?"
Vlad begins to explain."The ghost portal released the power that fused with your DNA and turned you into a half-human/half-ghost. Just like it happened to me twenty years ago."
Vlad steps back and transforms into his Plasmius form. His white hair becomes black and wild. He gets a cape and a white outfit. He has black gloves and boots. Vlad looks kind of like a ghost Dracula.
Vlad says."Daniel, I will train you. In the use of your new powers. To switch back and forth between human and ghost. Think about the form you wish to take."
Danny listens to his uncle's advice. And he switches back into his human form. Vlad says."Well done, Daniel. Now, I want you to transform back and forth and focus on how it feels. When you shift between forms."
Danny shifts back and forth for a while. Vlad then says."Now, Shift between your forms again. But just will it do not think it. And focus on the feeling."
Danny keeps Practicing. And Vlad keeps giving him advice. Until Danny can switch between human form and ghost form freely and at will.
An hour later.
Maddy says to Danny."Im sorry we did not explain this to you. We were so focused on keeping you safe and sound that we forgot to take your feelings into account." Jack says."Sorry, Danny, we just got overprotective of you. We already lost your parents. And we did not want to lose you too."
Vlad adds."We can't go with you to school. So we won't be there to keep you safe from harm. The magical world is one full of problems And danger. And we wanted to give you a way to stay safe. I hope. In time, you will be able to forgive us, Daniel."
Danny says."I understand why you did it. I just wished you. Three Just talked to me about it. But I suppose you were looking out for me, so I forgive you. Hug?"
The four of them share a hug. And they all decide to get some sleep.
The next day.
Danny and Vlad are shopping in a formal suit store. And they buy a suit custom-made for Danny with Hiking boots. After they finish shopping, Danny and Vlad arrive at a warehouse owned by Vlad. Vlad tells him to change into his ghost form. Take off the Hazmat suit. And switch it with the clothes they had just bought. Vlad points danny to the changing room.
Danny changes and switches out the Hazmat suit with the formal suit they bought. After danny finishes Changing his clothes, he walks out to show Vlad. Vlad tells Danny to get rid of the Jacket. Vlad then gives Danny a mask(Like Nightwing's mask).
Danny puts on the mask, and Vlad says."Good, it looks elegant. And it protects your identity. How is your vision, Daniel?" Danny says."I can see perfectly, Uncle Vlad." Vlad says."Good, it seems you no longer need glasses or your lenses. That's another step away from Harry Potter. Too bad we can't change your eye color in Human Form."
Danny says."Why not. Im a Wizard, after all." Danny changes back into human form. He then asks His uncle what color, and Vlad says."Blue Daniel." Danny imagines himself with blue eyes, And he wants it to happen. And to both his and Vlad's surprise, it works.
"Good work, Daniel. It seems we will pull this off after all. It's all coming together." says Vlad, who is pleasantly surprised. Danny says."Wonder if I can change my hair too."
Vlad Says."Daniel, we have a lot to do in a month. Try Amity Park's fabulous makeover later. You know tonight when we are not training." Danny says."Im ready, Uncle Vlad." Vlad pushes a button. Several tennis ball machines show up in all directions. All aimed toward the middle of the room.
Vlad begins to explain the exercise they are going to do."Daniel, the most fundamental ability of any ghost is the ability to Phase." Danny asks, confused."Phase?" Vlad replies."Yes, Phase is the ability. To be able to Pass solid objects such as walls."
Vlad Continues explaining."It also passes solid objects through you. When I got my Powers, My Phasing was at times involuntarily. Like yours was at breakfast." Danny thinks back on his difficulty in grabbing and holding his fork. Vlad then says."Today, we are going to focus on gaining control. Your job is easy. Daniel Dodge, the tennis balls."
Danny transforms into his ghost form. And he says."Ready Uncle Vlad." Vlad says."Begin." Vlad presses the button. And the Machines start firing. After a few balls, one hit Danny straight in the face.
Vlad Stops the machine and runs to Danny, who says."Strange, I did not feel that at all." Vlad says."It seems Your ghost form increased your durability. What could Hurt or Kill most people won't even bother you." Danny says."Let's continue training." They spend the next few hours training. In the end, Danny is getting slowly a bit better at Phasing.
Vlad says."Before we quit practicing for today, I want to try a lifting exercise to see how much you can lift." Vlad Presses a button, and weights appear. The weights have numbers on them.
Vlad explains."The numbers tell you how much ton each weight weighs. Now, let's try number One. Shall we?" Danny walks up And lifts the weight. Vlad says."It seems you have gained at the least enhanced Strength."
Vlad thinks to himself."Super Strength, Phasing, Increased durability. Daniels's transformation was a success. It seems he will unlock the rest with age. I wonder if. He will be stronger than me when he is an adult. More importantly, how will his ghost powers react to his magic? He can suddenly alter his appearance to an extent. But Maddy did tell me about the haircut. And even more strangely, his scar is gone." Vlad gets pulled out of his train of thought when Danny asks."We are going home, aren't we?"
Vlad says."Yes, Little Badger. Let's go home."
Fenton residence.
Maddy says."I guess we see you in a few days, Vlad. Anything else we need to watch out for?" Vlad replies and says."No Maddy. Just follow the exercise routine. And Everything will work out. You and Jack do have my number should anything unexpected pop up." Jack says."I will give you a ride to the airport, V-man."
In the Car. On the way to the airport.
Vlad asks."Everything alright, Jack?" Jack signs and says."What if it's not enough?" Vlad replies."We trained him in Mind, Body, and Soul. Jack, we did the best we could with the time we had." Jack answers questioningly."But what if it's not enough?"
Vlad says."You're just being overprotective right now. Daniel is Strong. And thanks to your and Maddy's upbringing. Smart, Focused, Driven when we look back in a few years. We will laugh that we were so worried in the first place."
Jack says more, relaxed but still worried."I hope you are right." Vlad thinks to himself."Me too, Jack."
Danny's room. Later that night.
An Owl drops off a small gift with a letter on it. Danny begins reading it.
Dear Harry.
I know you dont remember me. But we met long ago. Allow me to introduce myself. My Name is Albus Dumbledore. And by the time you receive this letter. My Memory of your Identity will be gone temporarily. As will that of Professor McGonagall.
When McGonagall came up with this idea. I must confess I was Jealous that I did not come up with it. It will allow you to have a chance at being an ordinary student.
The gift opens by pressing the crest. In this gift are Two items. The first gift is a book on how to learn about Occlumency. It will allow you to shield your mind from invaders. Study it well. Your safety may very well depend on it.
The second Item is a cloak that belonged to the Potter family. Your father has gracefully allowed me to study it. But it is high time it returned. The cloak is rightfully yours.
We have many things to discuss when you are older. But for now, I hope you will enjoy your childhood. Harry, as soon as you finish reading this letter, destroy it.
Happy Birthday.
Albus Dumbledore.
Danny walks down, And he lets his parents read the letter. Who are relieved that the plan is working. Jack burns the letter and says."The cloak is an invisibility cloak. It belonged to your father. I have always wondered what happened to it. Dont take it with you to school, If someone sees it. They might figure out who you are." Danny says."Okay, Dad."
Vlad's office. At his mansion in Wisconsin.
Vlad is sitting in his Plasmius form when his fireplace suddenly becomes active. A man walks out of the fire. Vlad looks towards the man and says."Lucius, my dear friend, how are you?"
