Moments before the revolt.
In the great hall, Danny and the others are talking. About what transpired that day. And Danny says."It appears that Scabbers was. A Mass murdering, backstabbing fruitloop. And Ron, I will buy you a new pet."
Daphne asks."How long do you think the teachers are still busy with the interrogation?" Danny says."It could take a while. Hearing twelve years worth of information. Takes a lot of time."
Ron says." Well, Im glad Sirius is innocent. Even if it means losing Scabbers."
Daphne, Tracy, and Luna have no idea why Ron would be so relieved. Danny then tells them who he is. And they all admit that explains How Danny survived all of those adventures.
Suddenly, Several Dementors break into the Great Hall. And they start attacking the students there. Danny aims his wand and yells out. "Expecto Patronum." A magnificent Stag comes forth out of Danny's wand. The stag drives every Dementor out of the great hall. And it runs out of the great hall.
Percy sees the stag. Percy says."Everyone inside of the Great Hall." And all the students outside of the great hall follow him inside.
The teachers rush in along with Sirius. McGonagall asks."Is everyone unharmed?" Percy says."Everyone here is okay, professor. But there are a large number of students missing." Dumbledore asks."Filius, can you protect the students here?" Flitwick replies."Of course, Albus."
Dumbledore says."The rest of you save as many students as you can." Sirius says."Remus and I will stay behind as well. According to Remus, most students are here."
Dumbledore says."Good, that means the great hall is secure. Children do what Professors Lupin and Flitwick tell you to do." Dumbledore and the other teachers head out to save the rest of the students.
Flitwick walks up to Danny and says."That was a magnificent Patronus, Mr. Fenton." Danny says."Yeah, but it's not enough to save everyone." Ginny runs up to him and says."Danny, it's Hermoine. She is still in the library." Flitwick says."Go, Mr. Fenton, Professor Lupin, and I can hold things here. You are the only one besides us who can extract the students safely there."
Danny runs towards the library as fast as he can. Danny enters the library. And Cast his Patronus, who clears out the library of any dementors. Danny looks around and shouts out."Hermoine. Hermoine, where are you?" To Danny's relief, a voice says."Im Here, Danny." Hermoine comes out of A hidden place in the library with a few first years.
Danny says."There is a safe place in the great hall. Stay close." Suddenly, an unpleasantly familiar voice says."Why should we listen to you, Fenton?" Danny says."Because, Peacock, you won't be getting the same offer from the dementors." Draco pales and heads toward the great hall.
A while later, Danny and the children of the library. Enter the great hall. Flitwick says."Well done, Mr. Fenton." Danny asks."Any news from the other teachers?" Flitwick shakes his head. Danny asks."Why would they suddenly go nuts?"
Flitwick says."Being denied both. Sirius and Hagrid Was too much for them. Plus, all the teenagers gathered here proved too great a temptation for them." Suddenly, Remus loses control. And Sirius and Danny look outside. It's a full moon.
Sirius yells out."we need to get Remus outside NOW." Flitwick casts Despulso. And sends Lupin flying out the door. Sirius says."I will hold of Remus." He transforms and runs outside.
Sirius tries to reason with Lupin, who has forgotten to take his Potion. Lupin transforms and proves too powerful for him to handle alone. One of the robed figures says."It's time." They kiss and Split up.
Lupin is about to claw open Sirius when Lupin gets hit from the side. Sirius recovers and says in surprise."You?"
At the same time, in the great hall, Danny sees that Sirius has received Backup, but they are still losing.
The other robed figure enters the Great Hall and says."Daniel, you must aid the other two. I will help Professor Flitwick with Keeping the Great Hall safe." Danny replies."I dont know who you are, but thanks." The woman casts Her Patronus, and it clears a path for Danny, Who transforms into his Tiger form and runs outside.
Ron and Neville exclaim."Wicked." The woman removes her robe, and Flitwick asks Shocked."How?" The woman closes the window blinds.
Danny runs towards Sirius and Lupin. And the stranger. Danny pushes Lupin away from the other two and asks."Okay, so what is the plan here?" Sirius asks, surprised."Harry?" Danny replies."Yeah, it's me." Sirius asks."Aunt Minny?" Danny replies."No, it Was McGonagall and Dumbledore." Sirius laughs and says."That was our name for McGonagall."
Danny Asks."What is the plan?." The third person says."The blinds are closed. Sirius and I will find the other teachers." Danny says."I can handle Uncle Remus." Sirius says."Be careful, Harry." Danny replies."Will do." Sirius and the Stranger runoff. Danny transforms back into his human self. And Activate his Watch. And Danny Transforms into his Ghost form.
Remus charges at Danny. Who phases through Lupin And tells him." Follow me, scooby." Danny leads Lupin away from the castle. Danny uses a soft blast on Lupin, who becomes Scared and runs into the forbidden forest.
Danny flies back toward the castle and sees the Dementors still attacking the school. He flies all over the school and uses a combination of his Patronus and His Ghostly Wail. To Drive off the Dementors.
Danny collapses out of sheer exhaustion.
The next day, Danny wakes up in the hospital wing. Before he can do anything, Hermoine hugs him. She yells at him."Daniel Fenton, you giant Pratt, I was so worried." Dumbledore walks in and asks."Miss Granger, could you give us a moment?" Hermoine says."Yes Professor."
Hermoine walks off, and Dumbledore says."I dont know how you did it, Daniel. But thanks to you. There were no casualties last night." Danny asks."Professor Lupin?" Dumbledore says."He is just fine, Daniel."
Danny then says."Thank goodness." Dumbledore asks."Daniel, what do you know about the two strangers?" Danny replies."They are strangers, professor. I never saw their faces or recognized their voices."
Dumbledore says."Well, I did recognize them. They are old friends. But strangely, they and Sirius were gone as fast as they appeared." Danny asks."So what now?"
Dumbledore says."It's only fair that you will receive a special reward for saving the entire school, Daniel. We will give it to you when you return after summer. For now, Enjoy these last few Days." Danny visits Lupin, who is packing his bags.
Danny says."I heard you quit. Where will you go now?" Remus says."I will Join the others. And dont worry, Harry. We will meet again very soon." Danny says sadly."None of it mattered in the end." Lupin replies."You saved an innocent man from being wrongly executed. And you saved Many lives last night. It mattered a great deal."
Danny says."But the wizarding world." Lupin cuts in and says."Can't change overnight no matter how much we want it to." Danny says."Until we meet again, Uncle Remus." Lupin says."Oh, and Harry? Thank you for going out of your way not to kill me." Danny asks."How did you know to follow me to the shrieking shack that day?"
Lupin says."I saw most of your fight with Sirius. And I overheard your conversation. So, I followed you to the meeting with Sirius. And like you, I was not sure what to believe either." Danny says."Truthfully, I still had my doubts. After the shack until Fred and George let me borrow their map." Lupin asks, shocked."The Marauder's Map is still around?" Danny says."I guess Sirius, You and My dad found it too."
Lupin says."We made it Me, Sirius, and Your father. You're so much like your parents, Harry. You have James' talent for finding problems. And Lily's Kindness. And like them, you are a great student. But like, James. You let your anger blind you at times. Try to be mindful of that. And that is my final lesson to you."
Danny asks."Do you think they would be disappointed to see me in Slytherin?" Lupin says."I think your parents would have been fiercely proud. Of who you have become, Harry. No matter what house you ended up in."
Danny walks off. He sees Hermoine and the other students run away from the library. Danny asks."Hermoine, what is wrong?" Hermoine says."Its Peeves. He has claimed the Libary as his own and Used Dungbombs to drive us off." Danny whispers."I will take care of it." Hermoine kisses him on the cheek for good luck.
Danny finds a private place and Transforms into his ghostmode. He enters the Libary. Peeves says."Greetings Halfa. It's so kind you come to my housewarming." Danny says."Im sorry to tell you. But you have been evicted."
Danny grabs Peeves and gives him a beating. Afterward, Peeves says."Peevy will leave the library alone, Promise." Danny says."You better." Peeves flees the library. And the students cheer. Danny transforms back into his human form somewhere private. And Hermoine runs up to him and says."Thank you, thank you, thank you."
At the end of the year feast
After Dumbledore's speech, he calls the ghosts to him and asks."What happened with Peeves? By the time I arrived to negotiate with him. He was already gone." The bloody baron says."From what peeves told me, it was the Halfa."
Dumbledore asks."Halfa?" The baron says."You might know him as Ghost Boy. From what I heard, he gave Peeves a much-deserved beating." Dumbledore asks, shocked."He can hurt Ghosts?" The baron says."He is strong enough to destroy every Hogwarts ghost if he chooses to do so."
Dumbledore asks."Who is it?" The baron says."Only a few know. And the Muggle-based Ghost tells us worthless wizards Ghosts to mind our business." Dumbledore replies."So it's a Muggle, then?" The bloody baron replies."The thing about Halfa's is most rules do not apply to them. It may well be a Wizard. But from what I heard, he is a devious tactician."
Dumbledore asks."So I won't be able to find him unless he allows it?" The baron says."That would be the most likely case. But we keep an ear out, and mabye we get lucky."
Dumbledore signs and says."That's all we can do for now." The bloody baron asks."What about Fenton he lives in that city?" Dumbledore replies."I asked him, and he seemed surprised that such a being existed." The baron then says."All we can do then is wait for now."
Dumbledore thinks to himself."A Ghost that can destroy other ghosts, Dementors revolt against the ministry. I hope this is not a prelude to what is to come. With the plans to revive the tournament, we dont need any more surprises."
The train ride back is uneventful, And the eight friends are talking about all sorts of things, Like their plans for the summer.
Ron says to Hermoine."Im sorry about the whole Scabbers thing. But he was a gift from my brother, and I did love Scabbers. Im sorry I lashed out against you without any proof." Hermoine replies."Im Sorry, too. I should have taken your feelings into account more."
At the Platform, Molly is the first parent to arrive. And she greets the children. "Hello, everyone. I hope you all had a good term?" Danny and the others confirm that they did. Molly turns to Ron and says."Ron, This is for you. She hands him a small owl with a note attached to its leg.
"Dear Ron, I hope this new pet can make up for the loss of your rat.
Sirius Black."
Ron says."Guess I got to name him." Hermoine parents arrive next. And they greet the children, too.
Vlad arrives Next and says."It's lovely to meet all of you." Meanwhile, the Grangers are shocked. None other than Billionaire Vlad Masters Is standing in front of them. Molly has, of course, no idea who Vlad is. And she asks the Grangers. Who tells her that he is a very powerful businessman. Dan says to Hermoine."Honestly, I thought you were kidding."
Danny says."Mrs. Weasley, Mr and Mrs Granger. May I Introduce my Godfather, Vlad Masters? Uncle Vlad, Mrs Weasley, and the Grangers." Vlad says."You must be very proud of your daughter, Mr and Mrs Granger. She is a bright young woman. And Mrs Weasley, it's lovely to meet you face to face. After all the great things I have heard about you. You have my thanks. For taking such good care of Daniel last year."
Molly thanks him for the compliment and invites Danny and Vlad over. Vlad says."Im sorry, Mrs Weasley. But Our flight leaves in a few hours. But I would love to take a raincheck." Molly seems confused, but Dan says."He would love to take you up on your offer next time."
Molly says."Daniel and his family are welcome any time, Dear." Danny and the others say their goodbyes. And promise to be in touch often.
The flight was uneventful. Danny and Vlad Are Talking about the year full of revelations.
When they arrive home, Vlad disappears. Danny opens the door. And a lot of voices yell. "surprise."
Danny closes the door and says."Holy Crud, I was not expecting that."
