Chapter 10, We Can Totally Explain

Once everyone was back in Sally and Paul's apartment, Harry able to move again and Danny's hair and eyes back to normal once more, Sally was the first to speak.

"Ok now that I assume we've all mostly calmed down, how about you three explain yourselves." said Sally calmly given the circumstances.

"Uh mom, I'd feel a lot better if I explained last. You know mines really long." said Percy looking up at his mom then to Annabeth as she would be explaining with him.

"If it makes you feel better about explaining honey then go ahead." said Sally.

Percy smiled, his mom knew him so well.

Danny made a pout face.

"How come he gets to go last?" said Danny.

"Because I asked to."

"Oh whatever!"

"I guess I'll go first then." said Harry.

Everyone then looked to him, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.

"Well, let's get the big part out of the way. Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and I are all wizards/witches and we go to a school of witchcraft and wizardry known as Hogwarts. That pretty much sums it up." said Harry.

Sally and Maddie slapped themselves, how had they forgotten that Lily was a witch and her husband James was a wizard.

"How could we have forgotten?"

"Now I remember."

"You don't hate us right?" asked Harry now wondering if the only other family he had was going to reject him like his aunt Petunia.

"Goodness no, that's 'Tuny's' job. We were close to your mother growing up." said Maddie.

"We found the things she could do... Incredible." said Sally.

Percy and Annabeth looked to each other.

"Let's add wizards/witches the list of other non-mortal beings to make our allies." whispered Annabeth to Percy.

"Yup, after this we're contacting Hazel or Lou Ellen for sure."

Danny heard this thanks to his enhanced hearing.

"Who's Hazel and Lou Ellen?" he asked.

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other again confused.

"How did you hear that?" asked Annabeth confused to Danny.

"Oh uh..."

"He'll explain why in a moment." said Jazz backing her little brother up.

"Thanks Jazz." Danny whispered to his older sister.

"No problem little bro." Jazz responded.

Danny sighed, he knew his turn to tell would be soon.

"So Harry, what can you do as a wizard?" asked Annabeth looking curiously at Harry.

"We can do all sorts of things, but I'll have Hermione show you as she's the best at magic out of all of us." said Harry and he turned the conversation over to Hermione who pulled out her wand.

Everyone then looked to Hermione.

"Thanks Harry, now I'm going to give a small demonstration of a few basic spells I've learned over the past few years." said Hermione, and she did just that.

Among the spells she demonstrated were accio, expecto patronum(which she explained was a hard spell that they'd all mastered), lumos, mobiliarbus, nox, and one more.

"This is the last one I'm going to show you before Danny's turn to explain himself. Wingardium Leviosa!" said Hermione and she shot the spell at, ironically, a broom which started to levitate. This piqued the interest of a certain Jazz.

"Just a question, do you actually fly around on brooms or is that just a story?" asked Jazz politely.

Hermione nodded.

"Mm-hm! We do. We mostly use them for a sport called quiditch which admittedly I'm not very good in, but Harry here is." said Hermione causing everyone to look at Harry who started to blush.

"Good? He's not good, he's amazing at it. The youngest seeker in a century and now captain of the Gryffindoor Team." said Ron only making Harry blush more.

"Thanks Ron."

"No problem mate."

Percy looked at the broom that was starting to fall back down to the floor, the quiditch that his cousin talked about was probably a sport he could do without. He figured if he even attempted it he'd get blasted out of the sky by a certain 'Drama Queen'.

"Now that were done explaining, I think it's now Danny's turn?" said Harry and everyone looked to Danny.

Danny started to get nervous. How did Harry make explaining so simple? He knew Harry must have felt somewhat awkward telling them, but he didn't start to get nervous. Then he felt a hand get placed on his back, he looked up and saw that is was Jazz.

"It's ok little bro, I'm right here if you need me."

"Thanks Jazz."

"Now get on with your explanation." said Jazz.

Danny took a deep breath then began.

"My explanation begins when I went down into my parent's lab with my two best friends, Sam and Tucker...-

FLASHBACK

It was a cool day in September. Danny and his friends Sam and Tucker were down in his parent's lab, which his friend Sam had coaxed him into bringing them into. The newest invention, the Fenton Portal, stood against a particularly empty wall.

"Ok I showed you guys the portal, can we please go back up now?" said Danny, he knew the rule. No one is to be in the lab without permission.

"Can you go in-front of it please?" asked Sam innocently.

Danny sighed, the sooner he did it, the sooner they'd get out.

"Fine." he said and did as he was told.

Once standing in-front of the portal he had only a minuet's reaction to catch the rolled up jumpsuit, boots, and gloves.

"Smile!" said Sam as she pulled out a camera and took his picture.

Danny started to put the jumpsuit down.

"Ok I showed you the portal, can we get out of here now?" asked Danny.

Still holding the jumpsuit, his friends walked closer to him.

"My parents could be back here any minute," said Danny looking back to his friends, "Besides, they say it doesn't work anyway."

"Come on, Danny. A Ghost Zone? Aren't you curious? You gotta check it out." Sam said only piquing his interest.

"You know what? You're right. Who knows what kind of awesome, super-cool things exist on the other side of that Portal?" said Danny pulling the jumpsuit, boots, and gloves on.

Sam walked a little closer to Danny and ripped the sticker of his father's face off the torso of the jumpsuit.

"Hang on you can't go walking around with that on your chest." said Sam as she disposed of the sticker.

Danny looked towards the portal.

"Here goes nothing." He said and walked in.

It was dark inside the portal, so naturally Danny kept his hand on the wall of the portal to guide him. However because of the darkness inside the portal he didn't see the blatant red ON button as he accidentally slid his hand on.

The portal that had been presumed as broken lit up as green sparks began to form.

"Danny get out of there!" his friends yelled.

But Danny stood paralyzed by fear. Then the portal went into full swing as green ectoplasmic energy swept through the frame of the portal, electrocuting Danny in the process.

The only things that could heard were Danny's bloodcurdling screams and his friend's cries.

When it stopped Danny weakly pulled himself out of the portal, but it did not look like the same Danny. This Danny had white hair, neon green eyes that appeared to be glowing, a black jumpsuit, white gloves, a white belt, and white collar.

That day changed his life and his friend's forever.

END OF FLASHBACK

-... And ever since then I've been half-ghost and Amity Park's protector, Danny Phantom."

And he transformed.

A white ring came from his mid-section and split into two rings, one going up and the other going down. His clothes becoming a black jumpsuit with the infamous Danny Phantom logo, white gloves, a white belt, a pair of white boots, and a white collar. His skin becoming slightly tanner, his hair going from coal black to snow white, and his icy blue eyes going to a glowing neon green. The transformation only took a few seconds, but it felt slow and dramatic with everyone watching.

The first one to react was Sally. Her motherly instincts kicked in and she hugged Danny who was now in his ghost form.

"Oh you poor baby! That must've been painful!" cried Sally as she hugged Danny harder.

Percy and Annabeth both looked at Danny, they knew what painful experiences were like being demigods and all. But it only made them wonder, these didn't sound like the ghosts they were used to. And this whole 'Ghost Zone' thing seemed unreal, Hades wouldn't slack that much off would he?

"It was beyond painful." said Danny replying to his aunt's concern.

"Danny, Annabeth and I know firsthand what a painful experience like that feels like." said Percy making everyone but himself, Annabeth, Sally, and Paul confused and worried.

"How would you know what something that painful feels like?" asked a confused Danny who then went back into his human form.

"That brings me to my explanation." said Percy who then looked to Annabeth, "Are we doing the short version or the long version?"

"Either is good with me." replied Annabeth.

Percy took a deep breath, he knew how this was going to go.

"How much do you know about Greek Mythology?" asked Percy, beginning his explanation the way most demigods normally would in such situations like this one.

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Danny.

"Trust me, how much do you know about Greek Mythology?" asked Percy once more.

"Well for starters in Greek Mythology I know there is twelve main gods/goddesses known as the Twelve Olympians and there are many heroes such as Heracles, Perseus, and Theseus and there is a place called Mount Olympus where the gods/goddesses live and an underworld. But it's all just myths right?" said Jazz saying all she knew about Greek Mythology, which was the standard basis of it.

Percy took another deep breath

"It's real, none of it was ever just some old myth." said Percy.

"But how come we've seen none of it! What proof do you have that they exist!" exclaimed Jazz who had been relatively calm in accepting all that had been proven true, but this just seemed a little too farfetched.

"-heh- That's how we all start out, not believing the truth but we come to accept it." said Annabeth.

"Then what does this have to do with you?" asked Jazz.

"You know how in the 'myths' that the gods/goddesses go around flirting with mortals and having children with them?" said Percy.

"Yeah, that's how some of the greatest heroes in mythology were born, but what does this have to do with you?"

"Do you think the gods have changed habits over the past thousand years?"

"So you're saying? No you can't be!"

"Yup, Annabeth and I are half-god making us something we know and call ourselves and our kind, demigods or half-bloods." said Percy shocking his relatives.

"There's more of you?" asked Hermione who had been relatively quiet like the other wizards/witches who hadn't talked since their turn to explain.

"Yup, we have two settlements known as Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter." said Annabeth.

"Why the term 'camp'?" asked Jazz.

"We use the term camp because most only stay the summer, but we can stay year round if we please. Camp Jupiter is more like a small city with homes, stores, café's, and even a university." said Annabeth.

"I'm assuming this is the college you and Percy are attending?" asked Jazz.

"Yup, Percy here got us both in because of his old Camp Jupiter status and helping to fight in two wars has its perks." said Annabeth giving shock to Percy's relatives.

"You fought in two wars?!" exclaimed Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny who had only been in one.

"I thought it was three, if you count the one when Apollo got turned into a mortal." said Percy.

"Ok that two, but it was his fight not ours."

"We did help him though."

"Yeah, but could you count it as a full-fledged war?"

"Point taken wise girl."

"If I'm not interrupting something, can I ask you a question?" asked Jazz.

"Oh, yeah what is it?" asked Percy to his younger cousin.

"If you're both children of the gods, then which one's are you parents?"

"I'm a daughter of Athena. Co-Counselor of cabin six at Camp Half-Blood. Veteran of the second Titan War. Official architect of Mount Olympus. Retriever of the Athena Parthanos. One of the seven demigods of the prophecy of seven. Sailor of the sea of monsters. Defeater of Arachne. And survivor of Tartarus to name a few things I've done." said Annabeth, "Your turn now seaweed brain."

"I'm a son of Poseidon. Senior Counselor of cabin three. Veteran of the second Titan War. Defeater of Kronos. Sailor of the sea of monsters. Retriever of the master bolt and helm of darkness. Completer of the first great prophecy. One of the seven demigods of the prophecy of seven. Defeater of the giants. Only man Lady Artemis trusts. Ex-preator of New Rome. And survivor of Tartarus to name some of the things I've done." said Percy.

"Don't forget best swordsman in three hundred years."

"Don't forget holder of the sky."

"You held the sky too seaweed brain."

"Yeah but you held it longer that I did."

"But you also bore the curse of Achilles."

"But you were the one that took the knife for me that could have killed me."

"Seaweed brain."

"Wise Girl."

"Kelp head."

"Mrs. Jackson."

"Not again Perce."

Then they laughed again. Even if he had pulled the joke on her before, she still could find it funny in some way.

Once their laughing died down, the apartment was quiet. In a way it seemed ironic the happening of this event. Three worlds, linked together by three heroes, who were also three cousins.
