Amity Park. Fenton residence.
Maddy and Jack read their letter first.
Dear Mom and Dad,
How is everything back home? After a long train ride, we arrive at our destination. It's a small village called Hogsmeade, where we get off the train and travel by boat to the school.
The first night is a feast. But before we can enjoy that. We get sorted into one of four houses. My birth parents were Gryffindors, But I got sorted into Slytherin house. I wonder if my birth parents would be disappointed.
The first week of classes was great. And I love Astronomy the most. But there are no STEM classes in Hogwarts. And if im to be an astronaut, I need to be tutored in those subjects.
So, I was hoping one of you could tutor me in those classes during the summer.
I will write again soon.
Love.
Danny.
Maddy smiles and says."Im glad to see that everything is good with Danny. And I can tutor him over the summer. For a couple of hours a day."
Jazz reads her letter next.
Dear Jazz.
How is everything at home? I hope you dont miss me very much. You would have loved the train ride Jazz, Miles and miles of beautiful views and forests.
The village is something out of a Grimm brother's fairytale. And the castle looks like a king used to live there. But I heard that Hogwarts was always a school.
The classes are, unfortunately, purely based on Magic. And that means I Have to find a tutor in STEM subjects. I hope Mom or Dad will tutor me. I can think of no one better than Scientists.
Say hi To Tucker and Sam for me.
Love
Danny.
Vlad says."I will read mine later." Suddenly, the doorbell rings. When Jazz opens the door, she sees Sam and Tucker. And she invites them in. Sam asks."Did you hear from Danny yet?"
Jazz gives them both their letters and says."These letters arrived for you just now." They both ask."Can you send these back to Danny?" Jazz smiles and says."I will make sure he gets them." Jazz asks. "how are you two coping without Danny?" Tucker says."It's fine. But it's not the same without him." Sam says."We have to get going. Say hi to your parents for us."
Later that night.
Vlad, Maddy, and Jack are gathered in the lab and start reading.
Dear Uncle Vlad.
How is everything back home? The watch works like a charm. I have not had a single incident. Your ruse worked. The entire wizarding world seems to believe that Im dead.
Uncle Vlad, you were not Kidding about the arrogance of some wizard families. I met this Malfoy kid who acts like he owns the world.
Anyway, It seems from the attitude in Slytherin That my parents and you made the right decision. And that I will be safer for it.
I will keep you informed.
Danny.
Vlad says while giving Jack and Maddy a copy of last Saturday's Daily Prophet."On the day that Daniel returns To the wizarding world. A bank that has never had an incident Gets broken into successfully. We made the right decision with the portal."
Maddy says."I hope that everything we did has kept Danny safe. Tomorrow, we send Hedwig back to Danny with our replies. I think she would be back to him by the weekend."
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts.
Hermoine is not having a good time, For today is the first year's first flying lesson. Ron and Danny, on the other hand, are excited like children at Christmas. They walk outside, and Madam Hooch begins her instruction.
"Alright, welcome to your first flying lesson at Hogwarts. Now, all of you walk next to a broom, extend your hand, and say UP." Danny says."UP." And the broom snaps to his hand. Ron's, however, Hits. Ron straight in the face, causing Danny to laugh. And Ron, who laughs too, says playfully."Shut up, Danny." More and More kids slowly get their broomsticks in their hands.
She says after a while."Alright, mount your brooms gently tip-off, and come back down."
But for reasons unknown. Neville's broom gets out of control. And Neville is flown all over Hogwarts. After a while, Neville falls off his broom and comes down hard. While Neville falls, his Remembrall falls out of his pocket.
Madam Hooch walks over to Neville. And she is as pale as he is. Danny hears her say."Oh dear, a broken wrist. Come, Longbottom. It's alright up you get."
She turns towards the rest of the class and says."None of you is to move those brooms. While I take this boy to the hospital wing, You leave those brooms where they are. Or you will be out of Hogwarts before you can say Quidditch. Come on, dear."
As soon as they are out of earshot, Malfoy starts laughing and says."Did you see his face? The great lump?" The Slytherins start laughing, Except for Danny.
A Gryffindor Indian girl says."Shut up, Malfoy." Suddenly, Pansy Parkinson says."Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom. I never thought you like fat little crybabies, Parvati."
Draco grabs Neville's Remembrall and says."Look at what I found. It's his stupid Remembrall that his Gran sends him. Mabye I should leave this up a tree." Ron steps forward and says."Give it Here, Malfoy." Draco smiles evilly. Draco Puts the Remembrall in his pocket. And Draco says."Make me Weaselby." Draco grabs a broom and as he glides around. Suddenly, a hand grabs his broom.
Draco pales when he sees who it is. Danny says, cooly."Malfoy, If you have problems giving the Remembrall to a Gryffindor. Why won't you give it to me instead? And no, this is neither a request nor a negotiation." Draco looks to Crabbe and Goyle, who are both shaking no.
Draco starts complaining."Why can't you leave me be, Fenton?" Danny snorts and replies."You act like a brat. So I treat you like one. Now, hand it over." Draco, having put the Remembrall in his pocket, Has no idea that Danny already swiped it using his ghost powers. Danny sees Snape heading this way. And he lets go of Draco.
Who flies up and says."Nobody tells A Malfoy what to do." A voice replies."I can assure you, Mr Malfoy. You have no idea how wrong you are now. GET DOWN." Draco pales as he sees Snape fuming.
Draco flies down, and Snape says."You will be having detention every day for the next week. Come with me, Mr. Malfoy." Draco eyes Danny, who breaks into a smile and points to his pocket. Draco feels his and Knows he no longer has the Remembrall.
Ron says."I was about to follow him. Good thing that Snape did not appear five minutes later." Hermoine says."I can't believe that he still has Neville's Remembrall."
Later, in the Hospital Wing.
Hermoine and Ron are visiting Neville when Danny walks in. Danny asks."Who died in here?" Neville says."I will when Gran finds out I no longer have the Remembrall." Danny asks."You mean this Remembrall?" Danny gives Neville the Remembrall. Neville says."Thanks, Danny, you saved my life." Danny says."Anytime, Neville."
Ron asks."How did you do it, mate?" Danny says."Remember when I Grabbed the broom? While he was focusing on me. I swiped it from his pocket." Ron laughs and says."So Malfoy got detention. And he has nothing to show for it?"
Danny says."You, Sir, are correct." And they all four start laughing again. Ron asks."Danny, Friday is Quidditch tryouts. Want to come?" Danny says."Cool, I will be there."
The next Day after Potions.
Danny heads up to the Quidditch pitch and Sees Hermoine, Neville, and Ron waiting for him. he joins them. And Danny is loving the tryouts. Suddenly, A small golden ball with wings flies towards them. And Danny Grabs it on Instinct.
Everyone looks at him with an open mouth. And Danny asks."Was I not supposed to do that?" Suddenly, everyone turns away. And Danny asks."How are you today, Professor?"
Snape says."Follow me, Fenton." As soon as Snape and Danny, Leave the stand erupts in laughter. with a Boy called Sheamus asks."How did Fenton know that?" Hagrid says."I guess he figured it out by our reaction."
Danny follows Snape into the Slytherin changing room. He throws Danny a uniform and tells him to put it on. The uniform is too big. And Snape waves his wand. And Danny's uniform suddenly fits."He says Good Luck, Fenton."
Flashback. The Teachers Stand.
The teachers like the rest of the students. Are watching with an open mouth. Snape says to Dumbledore."Headmaster, I know that Fenton is not Old enough to join the house team. But exemptions have been made before. For other houses for various reasons. Might I suggest such an exemption? For Slytherin?"
Dumbledore replies."Well, it would be a shame not to waste such obvious talent. But I insist in the spirit of fair play that he has a tryout first. Other players should have a fair chance as well." Snape says."Very well, headmaster."
Snape thinks to himself."I bet If that was Potter. You would be running down to give him the uniform yourself, Albus.
End Flashback.
A boy called Lee Jordan suddenly announces."The next part is the Slytherin Seeker tryout. Today, we have Terrance Higgs Vs Daniel Fenton."
Danny walks out of the locker room. And Marcus Flint throws him his broom.
Danny and Terrance get on their brooms. And they fly towards the middle of the Pitch. Lee Jordan announces. "This is a best-of-three contest." Danny thinks to himself."I got to beat him twice to win." Marcus Flint walks to the box where the snitch is and Lets it go. He then blows his whistle. And Lee Jordan announces. "And they are off."
Danny sees the snitch and follows it. And despite a few errors. Danny Proves himself a natural when flying, and Higgs tries to keep up. But Danny is too far ahead. The snitch dives down, and Danny follows it. Right before the ground, The snitch changes course. And Danny chases the snitch. He extends his hand and grabs it. Lee Jordan announces."
Daniel Fenton catches the snitch. Now, the score is one zero in favor of Fenton."
The snitch is loose again. It flies up. And Danny and Higgs give chase. Higgs tries to bump Danny away. Who dodges and suddenly returns the favor. Higgs fumbles and Danny is left alone to chase the snitch. And once again, he grabs it.
Lee Jordan announces."Daniel Fenton has caught the snitch again. He is the winner." Danny lands and returns Marcus Flint's broom. Who lifts Danny's arm into the air. Snape walks up to him and gives him a uniform with Fenton on it, Signifying. That Danny made the house team.
Danny walks outside after the tryouts. And he is greeted by Ron, Hermoine, and Neville. Ron says."That was brilliant, Mate. You might even be better than Charlie." Danny replies."Thanks, Ron." Neville says."You might be the youngest seeker in a century." Hermoine congratulates him, too. But she is sad as this means she can spend less time with Danny.
Later that night. In the Slytherin Dungeons, A party has erupted.
Everyone is partying and having a good time. Tracy and Daphne walk up to Danny. And Daphne says."Congratulations, Danny, youngest seeker in a century." Tracy asks."Mabye you can teach me how to fly like that?" Danny says."Im sure we can work out a schedule." Tracy is happy and hugs Danny.
Most of Slytherin's Comes by and Congratulates Danny on being the new seeker for the house team. And everyone is having a great time. And Snacks and Drinks flow freely.
But one person in Particular is not Amused. And He is Plotting Vengeance. Draco thinks to himself."Just wait, Fenton. You will pay. You have stolen my glory for the last time. Mabye I can use those Gryffindor Friends of yours to make you suffer. Yes, I have a Plan, and it will work. All I need is to play Weaselby for his temper. Soon, all is as it should be. With me on top."
