Re-reading the post Sectumsempra section of the Half Blood Prince and I think it's so interesting that when Harry is sorting out the detention slips detailing various misdeeds that include the Marauders, Harry's deems them 'petty' rather than bullying. It's clear as day Snape has never been over the bullying the Maruaders did against him, but it's oh so ironic that Harry now views the things the Marauders did as petty rather than bullying despite seeing the contrary in front of his own eyes, and said by his own mother. We all know because of Sirius' death, all growth he has at dismantling the perfect image he has of his father and his friends went out the window. But should we be suprised that he doesn't find these deeds a big deal considering they were done by the 'good' and 'likeable' Mauraduers? They grew into palatable likeable victims so of course he views them differently. One of the hexes James and Sirius were pulled up on in the detention slip was literally labelled illegal. But it's not taken seriously because it's 'just them'. It's like Fred and George, only this is a sentiment which Harry stated did not at all allign with what he actually saw in the Penseieve. Goofballs vs actual bullies. What's more, considering the alarmingly lackadaisical attitude Harry has in regards to Sectumsempra and Draco, should we be surprised? Even McGonagall said she did not disagree with Snape at all with his punishment. But once again Harry learns nothing and just thinks the world is being mean to him rather than him facing actual consequences, because he gets immediately distracted with Ginny. I used to think Snape was petty for making Harry sort through the slips, and on a level he is, but as far as Snape is concerned, everything he has thought about Harry is coming true. He calls him a liar and a cheat. Because he was lying about the Potions book, and he was using someone else's work to get higher marks. It is what it is. This compared to Harry completely violating Snape's privacy in the previous book, as far as I'm concerned, Snape (for once) has every right to hate Harry right now. It's not his finest hour.

Danny is a house husband.
That's it, that's all it is.
As the years went on. Danny retired from being a superhero. There was no need for Phantom when the GIW were dealt with and all the ghosts were under control.
Now what's left for him to do but to just sit back, relax, and finally be able to live his life.
Sam and Tucker on the other hand....
Well, they had plenty of pent up rage, wits, and chaos inside their mind to become villains.
But they had one rule.
Never bring work home and to never involve Danny in any of their supervillain business.
Okay that's technically two rules, but they're kind of synonymous especially since Danny has been taking care of their house while also entertaining himself with trying new hobbies.
Tucker and Sam both make sure that they never bring any of their villainy home to Danny, because all they want is for Danny to enjoy his happy hero retirement.
And Danny in turn, doesn't bat an eye when watching the news and seeing that there were magical plants that were attacking sites that oil companies were digging or that somehow Lex Luthor had lost five hundred million dollars and had somehow leaked records showing he was building weapons of mass destruction.
He also doesn't bat an eye when he sees that Tucker had brought home a telescope that definitely looks like it came from some fancy lab because hey, Tucker was making him an observatory so he can look at the stars and planets. While also how they were able to make a great gaming pc with computer parts that are definitely not sold in stores, because hey at least the newest update of Doomed wasn't lagging.
Or that Sam comes home with various plants and animals that are definitely not from planet earth, but hey the three headed wolf-lizard-eagle- hybrid thing (that Danny has affectionately named Fluffy) is pretty great at keeping the pests away from his vegetable garden and likes to eat any of Danny's new food creations and is a great playmate for Cujo.
So you can imagine how the Justice League thinks when dealing with the pair of new villains: Upload (Tucker) and Sam (I could not think of a villain name that would suit her, so it's up to you what you think her villain name would be)
And how they were currently wreaking havoc in the city either by cyber warfare with robots or by magic plant monster or a Frankenstein of both approaches. The heroes had all evacuated the civilians from the battle zone and are currently fighting a losing battle. When they've been effectively captured and restrained by the two. Right before the villains could go into a monologue, they hear a person clearing their throat.
Everybody looks to see a 25 year old man wearing a sweater vest (he made it himself, thank you very much) currently holding onto the leash of a giant glowing green dog and some kind of giant animal hybrid. The man's arms were crossed and was currently not sporting a very happy look on his face.
Tucker and Sam (looking at Danny with hesitant smiles): Hi honey.
Danny (frowning): you missed our anniversary dinner.
Tucker and Sam both pale as they quickly realized what the date and time was.
The league all watch as Sam and Tucker immediately start apologizing to the man that just walked into a battle zone.
Danny (still frowning): Hmph! I guess since you two didn't want dinner you can go back to your little fight. Don't expect me to make you any lunches for the next month, and since you two are having so much fun here, you'll be sleeping by yourselves for the next couple weeks.
The league all watch as they were let go as Sam and Tucker yell as they run after Danny yelling apologies as he was walking away from them.
This is not the last they see of Danny.
When Danny is displeased with either of his partners, he'll invite a hero over to have lunch of afternoon tea.
