Chapter 2: Witches
"Harvey!" Sabrina exclaimed, recognizing her friend. "How unexpected."
"I was practicing my basketball and decided to stop here." Harvey said. "Who is your friend?"
"Harvey, this is Danny Fenton." Sabrina said. "I'm showing him the city while his parents are looking for ghosts in the park."
'Did you need to mention that part?' Danny thought.
"Danny, this is Harvey Kinkle, one of my childhood friends." Sabrina said.
"Nice to meet you." Harvey said and offered a handshake. Danny decided to accept despite his experiences with Dash Baxter making him afraid of jocks.
"Likewise." Danny replied with hesitation.
"Fenton?" Harvey asked. "As in Jack and Maddie Fenton?"
"How did you hear about my parents?" Danny was shocked.
"My friend Pi told me about them." Harvey responded. "He's a fan of the supernatural."
"I know." Danny said. "It was because of him that Sabrina looked for my parents."
"He couldn't go after them himself so he asked me to get their autographs."
Two women entered the place. "Sabrina, we need to go home now." One of them said.
"Really, Aunt Zelda?" Sabrina asked.
"Don't argue, Sabrina." Aunt Hilda ordered.
"Alright, aunts." Sabrina replied. "Danny, Harvey, I'm sorry but I have to go home."
"I'm going to go back to the park and see if my parents are still there." Danny said. Harvey continued snacking.
During the way to the park, Danny saw his pains coming from the opposite direction, looking sad. "What happened?" Danny asked.
"Don't ask, little brother." Jazz said.
"We got kicked out of the park, Danny." Maddie explained with a sad expression.
"A cop said we were a couple of crazy people." Jack added. "Can you believe this, Danny?"
"I can." Danny muttered.
"Danny, how is Sabrina?" Jazz asked.
"Everything was going well until two of her aunts showed up and told her she needed to leave." Danny said, still trying to understand what happened.
"Don't worry, son." Jack tried to reassure Danny. "You'll see her again. We'll still look for the ghost."
"Weren't you and mom kicked out of the park?" Danny asked, dreading the answer.
"We'll be back at night, son." Jack said.
"Little brother, do Sabrina's aunts want to keep you away from her because they know about our parents?" Jazz asked.
"Nonsense, Jazzypants." Jack replied. "What could they have against us?"
Meanwhile, at the Spellmans' residence, Sabrina received the answer. "Is Danny Fenton half-ghost?" Sabrina was shocked. "How is that possible? I've met his parents and none of them seem to be ghosts."
"Some ghosts I know told me that an accident in Jack and Maddie Fenton's lab fused enough ectoplasm into their son's DNA to make him half-ghost, or a halfa, as some ghosts prefer to say." Salem explained.
"Be that as it may, he doesn't know of the existence of the Netherworld so he isn't subject to witch laws." Aunt Zelda explained. "If that changes, he will have to be taken to Enchantra."
"Or, if he knows we witches exist, he's hiding it very well." Aunt Hilda added.
"Anyway, Brina, don't use magic in front of him until we're sure he knows." Salem warned her.
"Understood." Sabrina replied.
That night, Danny decided to take a night flight. Knowing that the people of Greendale were not used to Danny Phantom, he became invisible during the flight. To his surprise, he spotted what appeared to be a witch flying on a broomstick. Approaching, he recognized the witch. 'Sabrina?' He thought.
"Sabrina, do you really think it's safe to fly around with the Fentons in the city?" Salem asked, surprising Danny with the fact that he can talk. "I know none of them seem to know about the existence of witches but..."
"Salem, I need to relax." Sabrina replied. "And you want to see your ghost friend one more time before he returns to the Netherworld."
'So it was a friend of the talking cat who made my parents bring me here.' Danny thought and decided to follow them.
Sabrina and Salem landed in the park and a ghost (who wasn't Danny) was waiting for them. "Sorry I'm late, Isaac." Salem said.
"I understand, Salem." Isaac replied. "And I assume this is Sabrina Spellman."
"Right." Sabrina said.
"But who's the other ghost?" Isaac asked as he pointed at the still invisible Danny Phantom.
Danny decided to make himself visible again. "I'm Danny Phantom."
"The ghost boy from Amity Park?" Sabrina asked, feigning surprise. "What are you doing so far from home at the same time as the Fentons?"
"Uh, I heard about a ghost that was seen around here and decided to investigate." Danny replied, hoping that Sabrina, Salem and Isaac would believe it was a coincidence.
"A ghost going after other ghosts?" Sabrina asked.
"I protect people from evil ghosts." Danny explained. "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Isaac."
"I appreciate it but I'm leaving town before Jack and Maddie Fenton find me." Isaac responded and left.
"Danny Phantom, has anyone ever mentioned you look like Danny Fenton but with different hair and eye colors?" Sabrina asked to tease Danny.
"No." Danny said. To be honest, he was actually surprised that no one noticed it until now. He then felt his ghost sense. "Is Isaac back?"
"Not exactly, whelp." Skulker responded, revealing his presence.
"Skulker, still wanting my skin on your wall?" Danny asked with a frown.
"Ewwww." Sabrina reacted, feeling disgusted.
"Your skin will be mine, whelp." Skulker said and fired a missile.
"When pigs fly, Skulker." Danny responded, creating a shield to block the missile.
"Salem, we need to do something!" Sabrina said.
"Run for the hills, Brina." Salem replied.
"No, Salem." Sabrina said and brandished her wand. She then cast a spell that caused Skulker's armor to stop working.
Taking advantage of this, Danny sucked Skulker into a Fenton thermos. "Thanks."
"Sabrina, you shouldn't let him know that witches exist." Salem scolded the half-witch.
"Salem, I couldn't stand by while a truly evil ghost attacked him." Sabrina argued.
"Your secrets are safe with me, Sabrina." Danny reassured her.
"It's a good thing they are because if you expose us to mortals, there are several warlocks and witches more powerful than me who won't like it." Sabrina warned him.
"You can say that again, Sabrina." Another witch said as she materialized. "Danny Fenton, I am Enchantra, the queen of the Netherworld."
"Enchantra, I can explain." Sabrina said with a tone that made Danny worried. Sabrina managed to stop Skulker without any problems and was still afraid of Enchantra.
"Don't worry, Sabrina." Enchantra said. "Danny Phantom knowing about us isn't a problem in and of itself. All I want is to make sure he doesn't expose us to mortals. Who knows what they'll have done to us before we turn them into frogs."
"Is this really necessary, Your Majesty?" Danny asked.
"Aside from the most formal occasions, people can call me Enchantra." Enchantra explained. "And we worry about what mortals can do if they have the right equipment. Without your powers and the devices your parents created, what chance would you have against ghosts?"
"I understand." Danny replied.
"Excellent." Enchantra said. "My spies in the Ghost Zone told me about a goth girl who would kiss you to undo the transformation if I did that to you."
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Sabrina asked, not completely understanding why this bothered her.
"No, Sam and I are just friends." Danny replied.
"Yeah, right." Salem said but was ignored.
"Anyway, that's all until you somehow develop magical powers or want to learn more about the Netherworld." Enchantra said. "Goodbye, Danny Phantom." She disappeared.
"What do we do now?" Danny asked.
"We have two options." Sabrina said. "Either we go our separate ways or we try to get to know each other better."
"Oh, boy." Salem deadpanned.
"I think I'll go with the second option if that's okay with you." Danny commented.
"It is, Danny." Sabrina replied. "By the way, if anyone who doesn't know my secret asks how I know yours, tell them Skulker forced you to transform in front of me."
"Did you know the truth all along?" Danny asked.
"No, my aunts found out and told me after they interrupted our previous conversation." Sabrina explained. "Did you really become half-ghost in a lab accident?"
"Yes but only my sister Jazz and my friends Sam and Tucker know about it." Danny replied. "Besides the ghosts and my archenemy Vlad Masters or Vlad Plasmius as he calls his ghost half. We know each other's identities each uses this to stop the other from telling."
"Complicated." Sabrina commented.
"What about you?" Danny asked. "Pureblood, halfblood, or muggleborn?"
"This isn't Harry Potter's Wizarding World, Danny." Sabrina answered. "I'm a half-witch. Warlock father; mortal mother. I'd tell more but you'd better go back to your room before your parents become worried. Let's exchange contact number and addresses?"
The next day, the Fentons were returning to Amity Park. "Are you and Sabrina getting to know each other better?" Jack asked with a smile. "Sam's going to be jealous."
"Why, Dad?" Danny asked, not understanding what his father meant.
"Clueless." Jack, Maddie and Jazz muttered.
"Why do people keep calling me that?" Danny asked.
"Never mind." Jack replied.
After the trip back home, Danny reunited with his best friends. "Danny, did you catch the ghost?" Sam asked.
"More important than that: have you met any girls?" Tucker asked, earning a glare from Sam.
"Isaac is a nice ghost who was just minding his own business, Sam." Danny replied. "And yes, Tucker, I met a girl."
"Awesome!" Tucker exclaimed. "Is she beautiful? Does she have a sister?"
"Yes, Sabrina is beautiful." Danny replied as he showed a photo. "And no, she doesn't have a sister."
"A cousin, then?" Tucker asked, desperation evident in his voice.
"I still don't know Sabrina well enough to tell, Tucker." Danny replied.
"And maybe you're better off not knowing." Sam suggested with a frown.
"Someone is jealous." Tucker teased Sam.
"I'm glad you admit it, Tucker." Danny commented.
"Clueless." Tucker muttered while Sam laughed.
"Danny, I want to meet that Sabrina." Sam demaned, wanting to face the girl stealing her... friend.
"And I want to ask if she has any sisters or cousins." Tucker added.
"Typical Tucker." Danny commented.
"You said it, Danny." Sam agreed.
"Danny, for some reason the girls here don't see me as the smart, handsome, modest boy that I am." Tucker pleaded. "Maybe Greendale girls have better taste."
"Be careful, Danny." Sam warned her friend. "This Sabrina person might be up to some pranking like the local A-Listers."
Danny frowned. "Sam, is it so hard for you to believe that a girl could actually like me?"
"Danny, you're not judging any beauty pageant she's entering." Sam argued.
"And she probably wouldn't need that kind of help." Tucker commented and felt his friends staring at him. "Sorry."
"Tucker's nonsense aside, maybe some girls might like you but I can't help but worry after all those shallow girls who hurt you." Sam said.
"Danny, have you tried anything with Sam?" Tucker asked.
"Tucker, I expected that joke from the A-Listers, not from you." Danny commented. "But it was worth trying to make me relax."
After the conversation was over, Tucker and Sam left Fentonworks. "Tucker, you need to find out everything you can about this Sabrina." Sam demanded.
"Sam, this is so wrong." Tucker responded and Sam offered him money. "And this isn't like that time I dressed up like you so you could skip school. No amount of money will make that right."
