Chapter 4: Return to Greendale

Danny Fenton was about to get on a train to Greendale. "Danny, wouldn't you rather I give you a ride?" Jack asked. "I'll be there in a minute!"

"No need to worry, Dad." Danny replied. The ghost boy would rather face Pariah Dark alone than go anywhere with his father at the wheel.

"Ghost!" Jazz shouted, wanting to end this awkward moment.

"Where?" Jack asked as Danny got on the train.

"My mistake, Dad." Jazz said. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, Jazzypants." Jack said, trying to comfort his daughter. "We look for one on the way home."

"Hooray." Jazz sarcastically replied.

"I knew you would like it!" Jack exclaimed, not realizing how she really felt.

Later, Danny arrived in Greendale. Sabrina was waiting for him at the station. "Hi, Danny." The half-witch said. "Did you have a good trip?"

"Yes, Sabrina." Danny replied. "Did you have to wait a long time?"

"No, Danny." Sabrina replied.

"Danny, my aunts gave me money for the taxi." Sabrina said.

One taxi ride later, Danny was formally introduced to Sabrina's aunts. "Nice to meet you, Miss Hilda and Miss Zelda." Danny said.

"You can call me Aunt Hilda, Danny." Hilda Spellman responded.

"And me from Aunt Zelda." Zelda Spellman added.

"Edward, they're here!" Hilda said, surprising Sabrina.

"Daddy!" Sabrina exclaimed with joy.

Danny was confused. If Sabrina has a father, why does she live with aunts? Said father noticed his presence. "You must be Danny Fenton." Edward said.

"Y-Yes, Mr. Spellman." Danny responded in fear. Who knew what he would be turned into if he said the wrong word?

"Don't be nervous, Danny." Edward said.

Salem then approached Edward. "So, has the Witches' Council said anything about my situation?"

"No sentence reduction for you, Salem." Edward said. "You will remain a cat for as long as possible and I hope this serves as a lesson to you for trying to take over the world when you return to being a warlock."

"Is he a warlock who tried to take over the world?" Danny asked, shocked by this.

"Sorry, Danny." Edward said. "I thought you already knew that."

"I can't use spells while I'm an animal, Danny." Salem said casually. "Don't worry."

Despite this, they sat at the table. "Fantastic appetizers." Danny commented.

"Thanks, Danny." Zelda commented.

"Danny, what are your plans for the future?" Edward asked. As gentle as he sounded, Danny couldn't help but feel more cornered than when fighting ghosts.

"I plan to be an astronaut, Mr. Spellman." Danny replied.

"I am a High Warlock." Edward said. "I have influence on the Witches' Council even if it doesn't reach the level of my Uncle Zamboni yet."

"Who?" Danny asked.

"The oldest living Spellman and therefore someone we should feel honored to welcome whenever he decides to visit us." Edward explained.

"It's easy for him to say that." Hilda whispered to Zelda.

"I heard that, Hilda." Edward said.

"And I stand by it." Hilda replied.

"Don't say that, Hilda!" Salem desperately asked. "Uncle Zamboni might find out and that might lessen the chances of him deciding to use his influence to shorten my punishment."

"Your chances were never very good and we shouldn't discuss that in front of a visitor." Zelda said as she gestured to Danny.

"I'm sorry about what happened, Danny." Sabrina said after dinner.

"Okay but, can I ask you a question?" Danny asked.

"You already did it but you can do another one." Sabrina joked.

"If your father is still a part of your life, why do you live with your aunts?" Danny asked. "I'm sorry if you don't feel comfortable telling me."

"I don't feel but you have the right to know." Sabrina replied. "The Witches' Council doesn't like warlocks and mortals getting married. To punish my parents after I was born, the Council forced them to divorce and give custody of me to relatives."

"Do you think they would do the same to us?" Danny asked, worried about the idea of being forcibly removed from his future children.

"Don't worry, Danny." Edward said. "Being half-ghost makes you supernatural enough to be accepted by the Council while you're still mortal enough that they won't mess around if you end up marrying another mortal."

"What a relief." Danny commented.

"One more thing." Edward added. "The Witches' Council allows every supernatural being the right to reveal the existence of the Netherworld to a mortal outside the family."

Danny smiled when he heard that. "I can tell my sister Jazz and one of my friends." He stopped to think. "I don't know whether to tell Tucker or Sam. Sabrina, if I tell one of them, will you tell the other?"

"I'm sorry, Danny, but I've already used my right to tell a mortal with my friend Chloe Flan."

"Okay, I can ask Jazz for advice." Danny commented.

"Danny, now that that's out of the way, there's a dance at my school in two weeks." Sabrina said. "Do you want to go with me?"

"Yes, Sabrina." Danny replied. "I'm going to talk to my parents."

"Responsible boy." Edward said with an approving tone.

After that, Danny and the Spellmans went to the bus station. Danny was about to kiss Sabrina goodbye when her father stopped her. "Don't give me a reason to turn you into a frog."

"Dad." Sabrina groaned.

Danny kissed Sabrina's cheek. "Just so you know, Danny, if you're turned into a frog, Sabrina can undo it by kissing you." Aunt Hilda said.

"Don't tell him that." Edward said to Hilda.

"Seeing them like this reminds me of you with Sabrina's mom." Hilda commented.

"I wasn't that sappy." Edward protested.

"Yes you were, brother." Zelda replied.

Back at Fentonworks, Danny told an edited version of his experience. "You met your girlfriend's father and survived?" Jack asked in awe. "That's my boy!"

"Thank you, dad." Danny replied.

"Son, what threats did he make to you?" Jack asked. "They could be useful if Jazz brings in another bad boy like that Johnny guy."

Despite the permission, Danny wasn't ready to tell his parents about Sabrina being a witch on her father's side. "Nothing that beats the threat of the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick." He lied.

"Danny, you talked about Sabrina's father." Maddie pointed out. "What about her mother?"

"I didn't know her, Mom." Danny replied. "Sabrina's parents are divorced."

'If Sabrina's mother is anything like Alicia, Mr. Spellman must be celebrating.' Jack thought but was smart enough to keep quiet for a change.

After getting an excuse, Danny had a private conversation with his sister. "Spit it out, little brother." Jazz said. "What's the matter?"

"Sabrina's family confided in me a secret and said I can tell mine but I'd rather tell it just to you." Danny replied.

"Are they ghosts?" Jazz asked, wondering why there was so much secrecy.

"The truth is a little more complicated." Danny stated. "Sabrina is a half-witch."

"Little brother, it's not cool to call a girl a witch." Jazz scolded her brother. "And what do you mean 'half'?"

"The same way Severus Snape is a half-blood, Jazz." Danny explained.

"So, Sabrina's father is a muggle and her mother is a witch?" Jazz asked, trying to digest the fact that witches exist.

"No, her father is a wizard, or 'warlock' as they prefer to be called; and her mother is a mortal, as the real-life magical community prefers to say." Danny replied.

"So, Sabrina and her father will obviate anyone outside the family that we tell the secret to?" Jazz asked.

"In fact, Enchantra, the Queen of the Netherworld, said that humans who know the secret without permission will be turned into frogs, Jazz." Danny replied.

"No kidding, little brother." Jazz said, starting to doubt Danny.

"I'm serious, Jazz." Danny said. "We can only know because I'm half-ghost."

"Does Sabrina know about this?" Jazz was worried. She knew Danny would never joke about that.

"Yes, Jazz." Danny replied.

"At least there will be no entrapment." Jazz commented.

"Either way, I am authorized to reveal Sabrina's secret to a mortal outside the family." Danny said. "Who do you think I should tell? Tucker or Sam?"

"Tucker!" Jazz responded without blinking.

"Aren't you afraid he'll spill the beans?" Danny asked, surprised at how quickly she answered his question.

"I'd rather take that risk than put up with Sam's reaction." Jazz explained.

"Why?" Danny asked.

"You're clueless." Jazz said and refused to provide further explanation.

Some time later, Tucker was called to a private meeting with Danny and Jazz. "Tucker, you might be wondering why we called you here." Danny commented.

"It must have something to do with Sabrina since you asked me not to let Sam know." Tucker responded.

"He's smart." Jazz whispered.

"Don't freak out, Tucker, but witches exist." Danny said.

Tucker was slow to react. "Danny, I know ghosts exist but witches?"

"I'm serious, Tucker." Danny said.

"No, that's Harry Potter's godfather." Tucker responded.

"Sabrina is a half-witch, Tucker." Danny said. "Warlock father, mortal mother. The real life equivalent of a half-blood."

"Are we going to be obliviated or something?" Tucker asked, still doubting.

"The laws of the Netherworld say I can tell my family, I'm only telling Jazz because I haven't told my parents my secret yet, and a friend." Danny replied. "And I chose you."

"And what happens if we tell someone without authorization?" Tucker asked.

"We and people without authorization will be turned into frogs." Danny replied.

"I want to meet Sabrina and see some witchcraft demonstration." Tucker demanded.

"I'll talk to her, Tucker." Danny replied.

"I'll see you later." Tucker said and walked away.

"Jazz, do you think I made the right choice telling Tucker instead of Sam?" Danny asked.

"I'm sure, little brother." His sister responded.

Later, Danny called Sabrina. "Sabrina, remember the secret you trusted me with?" he asked.

"Yes, Danny." Sabrina replied.

"Of the people you authorized me to tell, I chose my sister Jazz and my friend Tucker." Danny explained.

"Okay, Danny." Sabrina replied. "I will notify Enchantra."

"There's more." Danny said. "Tucker wants to see a magic demonstration."

"Well, Tucker already knows about witches being real and he's allowed to keep that knowledge so it's no problem." Sabrina replied.

"So is it okay if we come visit you next Saturday?" Danny asked.

"Yes, Danny." Sabrina replied.
