Guest chapter 7 . 2/28/2019 I love this |
Ariastella chapter 6 . 8/6/2018 For the record, I'm of the opinion that the half of Danny that IS ghost would be classified as a Lar or Penate, which is a type of Greco-Roman entity from legend. They're considered Hero, Guardian, or Protector Ghosts & even minor deities to a degree. They protect certain areas or peoples & their area of influence seems to depend, at least in part, on their level of power. Usually, they stick around crossroads or the families they had in life, (part of why they're also called Household Deities) but that sphere of influence can potentially grow from as small as a fork in the road to as large as a city-state. They're actually considered to be very benign entities that helps to spread good fortune through things like fewer deaths, better crop yield, safety during raids, stuff that tends to stack up over times. Normally, it's just in exchange for things like a little acknowledgement that can be considered small thank yous. So, they're kinda like the opposite of poltergeists like Peeves & wraiths like I consider Spectra to be, in that Lares feed on positive emotions by skimming off the top when there's extra to go around & returns it with acts of protection. As it happens, they're usually the ghosts of dead heroes who, despite being given the choice to move on had chosen to stay behind in order to continue protecting people. I also find it interesting that there are apparently other types of ectoplasmic entities in legend that aren't, by default, villainous. Like Tommyknockers! Tommyknockers are the ghosts of miners (I think it's specifically coalminers, but I'm not sure) that linger underground & rather than attack people or something, they warn living miners & the like when they're about to hit a particularly unstable vein that WILL cause a cave-in. After picking at the cave walls with his pickaxe,the live miner will hear an answering tap-tap-tap from what sounds like the other side of the cave wall even though if there actually isn't a cavern back there & it's just miles & miles of stone. That's why they're called "Tommyknockers," because they knock on the sides of what was essentially their own tomb to warn others. It's like they're saying, "Hey, if you don't feel too much like getting buried, I'd suggest leaving." I've heard that they're even stated to be a 'soft-hearted lot.' It's REALLY interesting. I mean, it's easy to find stories of ghosts & specters & ghouls that are inherently bad, but what isn't easy is finding stories of races of ghost that are, indeed, inherently good. |
Guest chapter 7 . 5/10/2018 I really love this story so far! All the character interactions are interesting and its always funny to see how danny acts as a teacher (and how the views of the students towards danny change) Hope you update soon! I got so sad when I saw that the last time you updated was 2016:( |
Oliver Jones chapter 7 . 1/13/2018 This is a great story so far and I hope it’ll be finished someday! |
LK2 chapter 7 . 12/4/2017 thanks for the chapter and please keep up the good work |
Reyda chapter 7 . 7/3/2017 Awwh, just found this story and I love it! Danny is still true to character, I could so see him pranking Umbridge... Wish it could be continued |
DannyPhantomPhandom chapter 1 . 6/26/2017 Oh goodie! This sounds like a much better Professor Fenton fanfic than the other one I read that was just updated! Too bad this fic seems dead... welp, at least you had Dumbledore have his moment of insanity! |
ChaoticMinds chapter 7 . 6/20/2017 Heh heh, I'm glad Danny's trying to become Snape's friend. Cause their banter is pretty funny. And I honestly think they'd be great friends. Also, Danny's nicknames are seriously funny! PFFFFFFFT! Dumbles and Sevy... LOL xD BUT ARE YOU ALIIIVE?! D: It's been 2 years since your last update. It'd be a shame to see this story abandoned. It's so interesting and funny. |
Stars Moons and Darkness chapter 1 . 4/13/2017 There's more, right? Please, please, please let there be more! I need more, followers need more, this tale needs more! Please continue it, or pass the torch to someone who can and will! |
MarineDolphin chapter 7 . 12/23/2016 Oh. My. Cheese and crackers. I LOVE IT. Please, please, please update soon! And if you have writer's block, find me on Wattpad, under the same username, and I can help! I love where this story is going! Eagerly awaiting another chapter, MarineDolphin |
6uest chapter 7 . 11/15/2016 Wow, this is an amazing HP x DP crossover so far. I just cannot tell you how much I love what you're doing with it. It's different than any others I've seen. I liked the idea of having Danny as a teacher instead of a student - it's unique and very intriguing. Loving his & especially everyone else's reactions to things! Your writing is immensely engaging, and whereas I mostly find myself skimming with fanfictions, in your case my eyes were latching on to every single word. And I know you mentioned not enjoying writing from Harry's POV, but nontheless you have /all/ the characters' personalities nailed and I was very impressed. I also really like what you've done with the dynamic between Danny and Snape so far. I don't really have any strong opinions on the guy - neither hate nor love - but even so, I found myself really liking that you made him more than just the guy that everybody (including Danny) despises, like some other fanfictions I've read. And you did it while not messing up his character. Props to you, for that! This was a very enjoyable read so far, and I'm so glad I found it! I don't know if/when you intend to update it, (and of course I understand if it's just something you're not interested in anymore,) but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. :) -6uest |
