Chapter 18: Fairy Tale

"And they dare to speak about carma?!" Danny shouted. In the middle of the next Order meeting, "I proved Sirius' innocence and now I'm the one who is wanted!"

Ever since escape Danny lived in Grimmauld Place for quite a period, completely bored out of his mind. Why Clockwork said that he should stay here is still a question. But Phantom learned long ago that whatever his father does, he does it for the good of everyone. At least he doesn't need to hide the tail anymore.

"We know, that that isn't the most entertaining place, Danny," Dumbledore said, "But we need to be patient," Danny sighed.

"Yeah, yeah. So, how is everything going?"

"We wanted to ask you how capable of a fight your subjects are," Moody asked.

"First of all, they aren't 'my subjects'. But to answer your question, even weakest of us are immune to all the spells, and can shoot blasts from our hands. Not mentioning basics. There are some with unique abilities"

"Such as?" Sirius asked.

"I, for example, can obliterate the entire city block with single scream," everyone stared at him, "you DON'T want to hear it. Can we please change the topic?"

"Well, I can"

Everyone turned to the entrance and saw Death, of all people, standing in the doorway. Order members, who didn't know about him, took their wands out, but Danny lifted his hand and stopped them from shooting.

"You sure have a thing for appearances, buddy," Danny said. The man shrugged.

"I do. Let's get straight to the point, I have a lot of job to do. I know where the last Horcrux is," Danny smiled.

"I know you damn well, Death..."

"DEATH?!" everyone shouted, shocked. This certainly wasn't how they expected Death to look. He grinned.

"Sup. Alright, kiddo, you got me," Death summoned a chair for himself, along with glasses and fake beard, "Firstly, old man Death gonna tell you a fairy tale, which actually is damn real"

"Fairy tail?" Danny asked, confused. Other wizards, however, already suspected, what he is going to tell.

"Yeah, The Story of the Three Brothers it's called, which is really stupid name, if you ask me. I'm the main hero, well, antihero, there, after all," Death coughed and started the story.

"Three brothers, travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown. Hehe, nice idea was that one, I'm still proud of it.

I stopped them in the middle of the bridge they built, angry as hell. This guys were the first ones to cheat with me, long before you, kiddo. Back to the story, I smartly pretended to congratulate them and proceeded to award them with gifts of their own choosing.

The eldest brother, a hotheaded bloke, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. I granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a stick, lying on the banks of the river. Yep, I put some power in simple stick and even that was the strongest wand for the moment.

The second brother, stupid bastard he is, chose to further humiliate me, ME, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. I granted his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone lying nearby.

The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, as it happens in every damn story, did not trust me and asked for something to enable him to go forth without me being able to follow. I, most unwillingly, handed over the piece of my Invisibility Cloak. THAT'S why I'm wearing a jacket now. NOW there wouldn't be any smartasses like him.

Okay, so three party poopers took their 'prizes' and soon went on their separate ways.

The eldest brother travelled to a village where a wizard whom he had quarrelled lived. He sought out a duel and fought the wizard using the wand, instantly killing the latter.

Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the duelling site and spent the night there. Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's power, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted by me and his own invincibility, arrogant fool.

That very night, I became a 'murderous wizard'. 'The unknown murderous wizard' crept to the inn as the eldest brother slept, drunk from wine. 'The wizard' slit the oldest brother’s throat pretty deep and stole the wand, throwing on the street this Edem Apple. That was when I took the first brother.

The second brother returned to his home where he lived alone. Turning the stone thrice in his hand the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely death, appeared at once before him, much to his delight. Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, committed suicide by hanging from his house' balcony so as truly to join her. Angsty potato, he is. That was when I took the second brother for his own.

I searched for the youngest brother as years passed but never succeeded. It was only when the third brother reached a great age, he took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. Greeting me as an old friend, we departed this life as equals. Or so he thought. I still hate him"

Everyone listened to this...unusual version of known tale. Danny was the one to brake the silence.

"Ehm, thanks for enlightening story, but what connection does it have with Horcrux?"

"Okay, boy-o, Elder Wand is currently in possession of this old gentlemen," he gestured to Dumbledore, making everyone to look at him in shock.

"Nevermind what I said, it doesn't have anything to do with our situation. For now. The Boy Who Lived has this accursed cloak. The MOST interesting part is the stone. It's currently kept inside Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. Who is that? He was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry. He ignored this story, despite the fact that he had ONE OF THE GIFTS ON HIS FINGER!" Death shouted and started to laugh. Order members were pale after everything.

"There is one interesting thing, this guy was Voldie's grandpa," put reaction here, "Aaand, try to guess where Horcrux is"

"And where should we search for the ring?"

"Abandoned shack in Little Hangleton. There is a problem, though"

"What is this problem?" Dumbledore asked.

"Voldemort currently lives in a mere mile from it"

-Laater-

Well, this place was very gloomy. Especially in darkness of night. Danny was walking along muggle inhabitants, trying to blend in. He will hit himself on a forehead for not just becoming invisible and flying there later. His eyes always fell on a building, standing on a hill. Riddle's house, where Voldemort resided. Phantom walked out of the most inhabited area.

It was a few seconds before Danny's eyes discerned the building half-hidden amongst the tangle of trunks. It seemed to him a very strange location to choose for a house, or else an odd decision to leave the trees growing nearby, blocking all light and the view of the valley below. He wondered whether it was inhabited; its walls were mossy and so many tiles had fallen off the roof that the rafters were visible in places. Nettles grew all around it, their tips reaching the windows, which were tiny and thick with grime.

Danny stepped closer to the door with snake shaped handle. It was locked, so Phantom tried to use intangibility, but to no avail. Apparently, all the spells put together, affected him. Danny started to think. It must be something what only Voldemort can use. He snapped his fingers and smirked. Little did that guy knew, that ghosts can speak every language, Parseltongue included. So, Danny just said 'open', and the door unlocked.

Stepping inside, he breathed a lot of dust inside and coughed. The house looked the same on the inside. Danny started searching for Horcrux. It didn't take him long. Phantom stomped with his leg, breaking the wooden floor. Under it was a small golden chest, which Danny picked and put on the table nearby. He casted a quick 'Alohomora', which didn't work. Stupid Warding Spells. Without any other ideas Danny phased his hand inside. Oh, so now it works. He was holding black box, the one you usually are keeping rings in, which he opened.

Inside was a golden ring, which was made very unaccurate. On the black stone was engraved triangle symbol with a circle inside and the line coming through it.

"I wouldn't touch that if I was you, child," Danny turned around and saw Lord Voldemort standing behind him. How come he didn't hear this guy? To Dark Lord's surprise, Phantom didn't look scared of him in the slightest.

"Wow, you are ugly," he grinned. Voldemort threw him a glare.

"How dare you?!" He took out his wand, "CRUCIO!"

Danny pressed the button on his pocket clock the moment Voldemort said this words. Phantom calmly got up, came right to him and took his wand. Then Danny returned on his seat again and pressed the button. When his followers entered the room, they were shocked at the sight of the teen, lazily twirling Voldemort's wand.

"Tut, tut, Mr. Riddle, one step and I will break this wand like your snake's head," Voldemort only saw red.

"That was YOU?!" Now Danny was confused.

"Wait, so you didn't see anything? That's pity, what a sound it made when collided with the wall," he smirked evilly, sending shivers down Death Eaters' spines. Voldemort moved his hand and table flew into Danny, but then stucked in the air.

"You aren't the only one here with such an ability, Riddle," he said and put the table back, "you need to control your temper...Thomas," Phantom knew that Dark Lord hates his name.

"How do you know this name, worm?!" Voldemort shouted and threw the fire from his hand, it immediately collided with Danny's green one.

"You are on the list for the long time," Danny shook his head, "Why should you make it so complicated?" Phantom scratched his back. Now his tail was sticking out, shocking people present. He was too lazy to wrap it around his waist.

"You did a very stupid thing, ya know?" Danny summoned a chair and sat on it, "Firstly, why not to make Horcrux from, I dunno, some farmer's shoe? NOT from Slytherin's locket or Ravenclaw's Diadem? Or you could just throw Horcruxes on the bottom of the ocean, so nobody will find them, but nooo, you needed to be symbolical! Now all you have is the ring, besides the other one, of course"

"I have only six Horcruxes," Voldemort growled. He starts to hate this boy even more than Potter. Danny looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"He doesn't even know! Oh, that's just brilliant!"

"ENOUGH! Get him, you morons!"

Death Eaters started to shoot at him, but Danny lazily summoned ectoshield to block them.

"My order was to get the ring. Not you, Riddle, plus I'd like to have some fun in the future. Tata"

Phantom dissapeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving humiliated Dark Lord and his followers behind.

A.N. I really hope you liked the last part. Check out my other stories as well, please.
