Hey everyone, another fanfic.

This is the winner of the latest poll. I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to contribute.

This is after season 3 in Danny Phantom but Phantom Planet never happened. And it starts in the time between Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The story mostly follows Danny's journey throughout the war against Voldemort. But it follows the events of the books also. Hopefully there's nothing to contradict the books or makes no sense. It will follow the events of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I've tried to keep to book canon over film canon.

This story is a slow burn for a long time as it follows Danny's journey and it follows the books. You'll see what I mean. So please do be patient and persevere with the story.

There are references to Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find them also which I don't own.

I don't own Danny Phantom or Harry Potter.

NB! When I originally posted this story, I accidentally skipped chapter 36. Which means chapter 36 was meant to be chapter 37 and so on. I have now corrected that. This means there is a new chapter 36 and chapter 37 was chapter 36 before and so on.

This is important because chapter 36 is an important chapter that sets up a lot of things later on. I'm very sorry for making such a mistake.

Anyway, on with the story.

Danny Phantom was patrolling Amity Park. He touched the Fenton phone in his ear.

"Anything your end guys?" Danny asked. A female voice crackled through the ear piece.

"No. I'm starting to think it's gonna be another quiet night," Sam Manson replied.

"That's the third night in a row with no ghosts," Danny commented with a frown.

"Maybe they're finally understanding it's not a good idea to come to Amity Park," another male voice suggested over the Fenton phone.

"I dunno Tuck, I mean, I'd love for that to be the case. Who knows maybe the next school year will be easier. But even Skulker hasn't attacked in ages. This just doesn't feel right," Danny retorted.

"Danny, can't you just enjoy the lull in attacks," Sam pleaded.

"Yeah, you're always complaining about ghosts attacking you and having no free time," Tucker Foley reminded Danny.

Danny rolled his neon green eyes.

"I know, but I'd feel better knowing that the ghosts weren't planning something," Danny replied.

"Danny, you sound like your parents," Sam teased. Danny frowned and landed on a rooftop.

"Har har, I'm serious Sam. Ever since the Lunch Lady attacked when you got the school menu changed, it's never been this quiet. I'm worried," Danny retorted.

"Dude, relax. We can cut patrolling early and head to Sam's. Movie and pizza sounds way better than listening to you being paranoid going around Amity Park with nothing else to do," Tucker suggested.

"I'm not paranoid," Danny snapped.

"Do you hear yourself? You're convinced the ghosts are banding together to launch an attack on you. That sounds paranoid to me," Tucker pointed out.

"Besides, if ghost attacks are down, why not enjoy it?" Sam interjected.

Danny huffed.

"Fine. But when the ghosts finally stop planning, you'll see," Danny relented and took off towards Sam's house. Sam and Tucker laughed.

"Meet you at my house Danny," Sam concluded. Danny landed in an alleyway beside Sam's house and allowed a bright ring of light to appear around his waist. The ring split and slid along his body, changing his ghost form consisting of a black and white jumpsuit with his insignia on his chest, pure white hair and neon green eyes into his human form. Danny Fenton, wearing jeans and a white shirt with black hair and blue eyes, stepped out of the alleyway and waited for his friends to arrive.

However while he waited in the darkened alleyway mouth, he spotted a man with long flowing black clothes walk purposefully down the street. As Danny watched, the person's silver masked face glinted in the dim streetlights. In the person's hand was a stick-like thing. Danny shrank into the darkness, instantly feeling wary of the being. Unknowingly watched by the halfa, the person paused at the corner. Another person in black and a silver mask joined the first. Danny bit his lip and turned himself invisible. He couldn't help but be curious and sense this was important. He silently crept over to the two people at the corner.

"Any luck finding Phantom?" a man asked with a British accent.

"None. The Dark Lord isn't going to be pleased," the second man muttered, also with a British accent.

"There's always tomorrow night but it would have been better to have convinced another ghost to join our cause to appease the Dark Lord," the first replied. The second nodded.

"Are you going to tell the Dark lord?" the second inquired hopefully. The first scoffed.

"Only if he asks. I don't have a death wish," the first retorted. Then both British accented people froze and turned to the next corner. Sam and Tucker were walking down the road to her house. Sam was dressed in her usual black and purple outfit and Tucker was in his normal green trousers and yellow shirt and glasses. He had his PDA in his hand, probably asking Sam what movies she had and trying to narrow the choice down to one or two.

Danny turned back to the people, but they'd rushed silently down the next street. Danny raised an eyebrow before joining Sam and Tucker at her doorstep.

"Guys, I think I might know what's going on with the lack of ghost attacks. There are these two British guys convincing ghosts to do stuff. They want to talk to Phantom too," Danny muttered to them, turning visible. Sam and Tucker blinked in surprise.

"Wait, so two humans are convincing the ghosts to do something? When did you find this out!?" Tucker demanded.

"Just now. Those guys were just there, I was eavesdropping," Danny answered, pointing to where he'd been moments ago.

"So, what do you want to do?" Sam inquired, seeing that Danny wasn't making this up.

"Well, they want to talk to Phantom. Why not give them what they want?" Danny suggested.

"Woah dude. What if these guys don't take no for an answer and ask you to do something bad?" Tucker interjected worriedly.

"They didn't look armed Tuck. And they just want to talk," Danny replied with a shrug.

"We'll cover you," Sam offered. Danny shook his head.

"They didn't want to be seen by you guys. The second they saw you, they left. I don't think you should get close. But I'll keep my Fenton phone on," Danny decided.

Sam and Tucker frowned but agreed to the plan. Danny ducked back in the alleyway and returned to his ghost form. He flew down the road towards those British people. He bit his lip as he considered how to approach this. If he went up to them, then they might expect him to know why they wanted him and he'd have to explain how he eavesdropped on them. He really didn't want to get into that. But he needn't have worried.

"Phantom?! Please can we have a word?!" one of the British mysterious men called.

Danny glanced at them and paused in his flight. He had to admit, he'd never been hailed so politely before. Usually he got yelled at to get lost or to sign something, usually something gross. Danny slowly floated down to the ground.

"Uh, hi. You called?" Danny greeted nervously.

"Thank you. You're a very difficult ghost to get a hold of Phantom," the first one remarked. Danny chuckled uncertainly.

"I've heard that once or twice. I like my privacy," Danny muttered.

"Fair enough Phantom. But we were asked to come and speak to you and the other ghosts here to join our Lord's cause," the second began.

"So, you've been gathering the ghosts around here? No wonder it's been so quiet," Danny commented carefully.

"Yes. Well, are you interested?" the first confirmed.

"Sorry, what is your boss's offer?" Danny inquired cautiously.

"Our Lord," the second corrected.

"The Dark Lord is gathering allies to himself in order to take control of the wizarding world. He is an exceptional wizard Phantom and a powerful ally. All he asks is for your loyalty in the coming years and to do the occasional job such as terrorise muggles or attack a troublesome witch or wizard," the first explained. Danny raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not interested in hurting anyone," Danny informed them, completely confused by their terminology. Wizards? Muggles? Dark Lord? He'd ask for an explanation but he didn't want to come across completely clueless. He got called that enough without being obvious about it.

"Phantom, we'd advise you agree to our offer. The Dark Lord is not a person who you wish to be enemies with. You may be a ghost, but I'm sure our Lord could come up with a way to… remove you should you become troublesome," the second warned. Danny frowned.

"So, let me get this straight. You come to my town. Give me an offer. And if I refuse, this "Dark Lord" person will make sure I'm destroyed. Doesn't sound like it's an offer to me. More like a demand or ultimatum," Danny surmised.

"It is," the first decided to agree.

"Then let me give you a warning in return. Danny Phantom doesn't bow to anyone. Lord or not. If I see you guys again, I'm not going to be nice. This is my city and I protect it," Danny growled.

"So you refuse?" the second asked.

"That's right. Now, get out of my town," Danny confirmed and charged his hand with a toxic green ghost ray.

The masked men glanced at each other and disappeared with a loud crack, startling Danny and a nearby dog. Danny let his ghost ray fade and sighed.

"Did you guys hear all that?" Danny inquired.

"Yeah," Sam affirmed softly.

"Dude, should you really have said that? This Lord guy sounds like bad news," Tucker muttered. Danny shrugged.

"I don't know. But I couldn't agree. If I said yes, I'd have to hurt people. If I said no, then they'd come after me anyway. So why not warn them off. Maybe it will deter that Lord person enough to stay away," Danny replied.

"I doubt it Danny. Those guys meant business," Sam decided. Danny bit his lip worriedly and hoped he hadn't made a massive mistake.

"Well, it's done now. What movie are we watching?" Danny concluded and flew back to Sam's house.

What has Danny just gotten himself into?

Let me know what you thought of the first chapter.

Not much really to say…

Until the next chapter.
