Zolata: Definitely do the hogwarts AU but have one or all of them wind up in the lake with the giant squid.

Here's the scene; it's the end of final period. It's 3rd year. Danny, Sam and Tucker were heading back from Care for Magical Creatures. It was definitely eventful with Buckbeak, but Tucker would say otherwise now that he has sore glutes. Sam was still teasing although Danny wasn't really paying attention to that; more or less he was thinking about their common room - the Slytherin common room. Every time he walked in, it was always crowded with sneers, weary looks and the occasion Gryffindors (Randy, Jake and Howard). He personally didn't know why but it could be because he was losing points for the House, but mostly likely it could be from drawing in members of their rival house into their territory (metaphorically speaking).

That wasn't the only thing on his minds, there was the previous summer. His friends (Sam and Tucker) came to visit America to see him and it was definitely an interesting summer. More specifically the afternoon in the Fenton laboratory. They were all messing around with the muggle tech and Sam wanted to see the portal thing. Badda bing, badda boom, and suit in there too; Danny Phantom. Tucker was pretty happy for his thirteen year old friend to become half dead! Whilst Sam just start joking about how he could become Slytherin's new house ghost. The rest of the summer was just them having fun adventures, including Danny's 'friend' Vlad Masters. Ugh, he just hopes that no one at Hogwarts watches the American News of Amity Park.

[A/N: This is just how I'm incorporating canon series into Hogwarts!AU.]

In the end he pushed that all aside to go back to a thought he had during CMC.

"I swear this school has no material!" Danny groaned pulling out his phone.

Sam turn to him with this raised eyebrow, "What on earth are you talking about Danny?"

"Okay, so there's a prize in America for discovering photographic evidence of any cyptids right?" he showed Sam his phone, which was on a reward site.

"We don't know what you're talking about but yeah, cyptid prize." Tucker pulled out his PDA to take notes.

"So, when I learnt we were staring CMC this year I thought I would get to see some awesome animals to I dunno, get a photo of and maybe send it over to the guy giving out the money."

"Oh I get it, your mad cause all the monsters we have seen are boring," Tucker smirked like he just became a Ravenclaw, "and even then we're not allowed cameras in Hogwarts."

"Exactly!" Danny gave him pity points for figuring it out, "Although the first part, I was able to sneak a camera in."

"So? What are you even going to do with that amount of cash?" Sam took his phone to read the full details.

"Ugh, it's a muggle thing okay! I don't think any 'pure-blooded wizard' would understand how difficult our life is."

"The school doesn't even have half the monsters here!" Sam gave the contraption back, now maintaining a tough tone, maybe kick some sense into him "Do you want to see something that can eat your face off?"

"YES!"

"Well in that case~"

"Jegus!"

Everyone turned to the hissing voice, so see: Jake. It was anti-climatic to say the least.

"Jake seriously stop sneaking around like that!" Danny tried to gain back his masculinity with a scolding, "I swear you're such a snake sometimes."

"You and I both know I really don't care about what you call me," Jake snickered, "Anyway, I know what will do the trick for you guys."

"Jake, no, please don't give these guys any ideas." Sam grumbled, glaring down at the midget begging for some logic to come.

Danny quickly pulled out a pen and notepad, "Tell me all the details."

"Okay, so you know the lake over in that direction?" Jake pointed somewhere off North while Danny was nodding eagerly, "Well there's a giant squid somewhere near the center, I'll get some of my friends to give us a ride and maybe we can get some killer pics. for that reward."

"Thanks buddy, okay so what time do you think suits you?"

'Dear Merlin please help us.' Sam was really begging for some common sense to come from anywhere. Maybe her furrowing her eyebrows would work.

"This Saturday, and try 1-3AM. I'm certain Filch will be away that time."

"Done."

Tucker pulled out a PDA and took a memo, "Hey Sam, you're going to join us."

Everyone there looked at her, almost like she was their mum they would never listen to, but still act like this is all never going to happen.

"Ugh, fine," Sam said reluctantly, "But only 'cause I'm the only one who can bail you guys out."

The guys had this big grin of all of their faces. 'This is going to be a disaster.'

Everyone was in the Great Hall, and Jake certainly got some questions from Randy and Howard.

"Bro, why on Bruce's cheese beard were you hanging out with the Slytherins after CMC?" Howard asked, stuffing a chicken wing in his mouth.

"Yeah," Randy took a sip from his chalice, "You rarely hang out with them."

"Chillax brothers, I was just dealing out more info from my senior dragon friends."

Randy was still suspicious, "I still don't trust that gang of yours, especially since you seem to know way too much for our year level."

"Plus, how did you know Filch was going to be away Saturday?"

"Professor McGonagall." Jake said bluntly, picking something out from his teeth.

"Okay, but how did you milk it out of her?" Randy asked, immediately regretting it, 'Dear Bruce that sounded so wrong.'

"Transfiguration Classes."

"You know what, it's time I finally asked since Cunningham's never going to do it," Howard turned to Jake with an angry look (well, as angry as a baby face boy like him could make), "why do you always stay late after Transfiguration? And not just this year, but last year as well as first, when we were juicing eleven."

Jake turn his head around and under the table to make sure no one was really ears-dropping on them (or using one of the Extendable Ears from Weasley and Weasley), "Fine, then pipe down, it has to do with the dragon society thing I've been talking about."

Howard and Randy leaned in to get a better hear.

"So I've been training my animagus powers, and McGonagall plus the society are practicing our forms."

"WHAT?!" Randy slammed the table as a reflex, springing up at the same time, drawing the attention from everyone else there. Awkwardly he just yelled out, "SORRY!"

"Cunningham get down now." Howard whispered, kicking his leg under the table.

Over towards the Ravenclaw table, Rose [ADJL] was busy talking with Scorpius until the aforementioned slam down. Strangely enough she didn't suspect anything there.

"Isn't that guy with the green in his hair your boyfriend?" Scorpius asked her.

"Oh he is." she answered quickly.

"Well uh, should we keep an eye on them?" Scorpius asked putting down his utensils.

"Wouldn't Rose Weasley send us something if they do something?"

Scorpius stood up, "Come on, better plan."

"Agreed." Rose got up and followed. Albus and Rose Weasley noticed them and also got up to follow.

Saturday 12.57am, and Danny was in ghost form holding onto Sam and Tucker. They were intangible and near the hallway to the outer school boarders. The three of them hear footsteps and see Jake take the Invisibility cloak off.

"Wonder how he got that?" Sam whispered to Danny specifically.

"Don't know, don't care," Danny pulled out the camera, "Let's get down there."

The three sneaked up behind the Gryffindor, and Danny turned them tangible. Danny took a gentle tap at Jake's shoulder, startling him to turn around.

"Oh, it's you three."

"The sneaker has been sneaked."

"Haha, come on boys let's get this done and dusted before we get caught."

The two shrugged at each other and Tucker started walking out with Sam. It wasn't long before they got to the lake docks, as none of them had a lamp or anything to give them away; plus, black robes being part of the uniform at night? Yeah this was too easy.

"Okay, they left the boats here, so hop on!" Jake got into the nearest boat and grabbed a paddle.

Danny did the same and Sam plus Tucker went on another boat. They kept going till they got to the center of the lake as it seemed. He couldn't help it, so Danny turned around to see Hogwarts castle in it's beauty, and with the full moon.

"Wow, feels like first year right guys?"

"Yep, amazing, splendid, now strip."

"What?!"

"Do you want to swim in the uniform? Come on, I got gillyweed."

"Hang on, how on earth did you get that?" Sam asked cautiously, "Also, no! I'm not taking anything off here!"

"Friends of the other side... of the higher year levels," Jake took out a large mass of green moss, "Plus, we need someone to keep watch and call for help if anything happens."

Long started removing clothing items, with Danny doing the same without hesitation.

"You know guys, I'm starting to have second thoughts," Tucker picked up the paddle, "Let's just go, I'm sure I can doctor a photo for you Danny and we can pretend this whole thing never happened."

"No way, we're this close," Danny took his share of the gillyweed from Jake, "Plus, this would be fun anyway."

"Oh come on, the water's freezing!" Tucker complained, Sam nodding enthusiastically.

"Just a summer's day in England." Jake dismissed the warning.

"What if you can't get back out?" Sam grabbed onto Danny's arm, "We won't be able to get you guys out!"

"Eh, both of you go back to shore and if we're not back here by- how long does gillyweed take to wear off?"

"Don't know, say about an hour."

"Yeah, if we're not back on shore by an hour then go get help." Danny smiled like he didn't hear the first part of the sentence.

"Okay, if you guys are so sure." Sam picked up and paddle and starting rowing the boat back to shore with Tucker.

Jake and Danny took their portions of the gillyweed, with Jake diving into the water first. Danny quickly grabbed the camera [waterproof] and jumped in as well. The. Water. Was. Really. Cold. Long had already started going deeper in the water, so he just followed the bright green highlights.

'OH GOD! This is so cold! WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS?!'

He felt an arm grab his and turn to see Jake. He was pointing towards the darkness in the water, and like any normal person Danny was nervous to go deeper so he just- WHOA!

'IS THAT IT?!' Danny thought, (maybe not yelled, but thought loudly) widening his eyes at the sight.

A smile tugged at Jake's lips; the sight of Danny - a Slytherin - looking like a five year old child in a candy store, was just adorable. There was a camera flash, with that, it outlined the features of the tentacles and the giant head. Well, what can be seen anyway - the murky waters certainly didn't help with photo quality but it's a photo. The two were about to swim back up quickly to avoid anything dangerous, until something else grabbed Danny's leg.

Author: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO WRITE! Apologies for not updating in... *checks last update* 3 months! (Jesus Christ 3 months? I'm so sorry you guys) Anyway I've been very busy over that time frame and my writing has declined in quality and I'm trying to post something every week now - even if it's shitty. I'm so sorry Zolata that this was what I am offering to you, as to make me even more of a piece of shit, CLIFF HANGER! Ugh, someone just shoot me down with a crossbow or, something like that I DON'T KNOW! I've got more coming down the windpipe so stick around and maybe I'll be a decent writer.

So yeah, thanks for coming out everybody!
