Chapter 4: The Life of Harry
Once Harry had settled down in his seat and had fallen asleep, Jazz activated his Comms so that the others could hear his conversation with the twins.
"So how did ya become Harry's brothers" Jazz inquired.
They both looked at each other, seeming to have an internal debate over their answer when they both sighed in defeat "We'll tell you the whole truth as we're more than likely going to be spending some time with you and you might as well know before something happens..." George started.
"But only you and the other Autobots can know. Harry's had a hard life and he doesn't need any more pain" Fred finished.
"Ah understand" he said making sure that everyone agreed with him even if the twins didn't know the others were already listening in.
Fred decided that he would be the one to begin the story "The first thing that you have to know is that the British Wizarding Community was at war for eleven years. A very dark wizard that was known as Voldemort or You-Know-Who in fear that the very mention of his name will cause him to appear. He, along with his followers the Death Eaters, tortured, manipulated and killed a lot of people; both magical and especially non-magical. You see, there are a few statuses in the wizarding world: a pure-blood which is what we and Harry might as well be. We're born from completely magical families for generations while half-bloods are born from a pure-blood and either another half-blood or a Muggle, which in Britain means a non-magical person. Muggleborns are those that are born from a completely non-magical family and a Squib is someone born from one or more magical parents but either have no magic or only really small amounts that it's hardly noticeable. He was basically killing a majority of Muggles, Muggleborns and some half-blood with a few pure bloods who refused to join him. But on the night of All Hallows' eve in 1994, he made his way to the Potter's residence where he killed Harry's parents with an Unforgivable curse called the Killing Curse. There is no protection against this curse and as soon as it hits you, it will instantly kill you. What was strange though was that when he fired the same curse at Harry, not only was he not killed, but it rebounded off of him, giving him the lightning bolt scar on his forehead and striking Voldemort instead. Afterwards, no one knew what happened to Harry but the whole British community rejoiced that the Dark Lord was dead with Harry labelled as the Boy-Who-Lived"
"Word of warning, never mention that title in front of him. He absolutely hates it saying that he was only 15 months old and no one else was there so no one really knew what actually happened apart from himself and Voldemort. His parents are hardly acknowledge for protecting him" George piped in knowing how much he hated the ridiculous title.
"A sparkling killed someone and no one knows how? How did he do it?" Optimus thought to himself.
"Now we skip a few years forward to 2004 when we are already at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry and our younger sibling was just starting. That was when we first met Harry and to be honest, he was not what we were expecting. He was absolutely tiny and did not look like he was 11 years old. The clothes he was wearing practically engulfed him and he hardly talked to us in the beginning, always being shy around others. Turns out that year was the start of his misfortune in the Wizarding World as he faced a mountain troll, which is smaller than Bumblebee but very deadly, a Cerberus and Voldemort himself"
"Ah thought ya said that he died?" Jazz pointed out.
"Turns out, only his body did. His spirit left and went into hiding until one of our teachers accidentally stumbled across him and he merged with him. But to stay like that, he had to drink unicorn's blood which is a monstrous thing to do as unicorns are pure beings and to do something like that means they will only have a cursed life as soon as the blood touches their lips" George shivered at the thought at drinking unicorns blood.
"In the end, Harry defeated him and he was sent back to his relatives for the summer but none of us could get a hold of him when we sent him letters so we staged a rescue with our dad's flying car"
"Ya can make cars fly?" Jazz interrupted in a shocked voice.
"Yeah but you're not really allowed to enchant non-magical items in case they accidentally end up in non-magical hands or it could backfire" Fred told him.
"Like how ours gained a conscious" George supplied.
If the Autobots had been in their bipedal form, they would have had their facial components dropped in shock.
::By Primus spark, they sound as if they nearly have as much power as the Allspark if they can give something life:: Ratchet spoke in awe.
::If that is true then think of the power the Voldemort wizard had:: Ironhide voiced.
::It seems this world has its own version of Megatron and his Decepticons:: Optimus said in a grave tone, not liking where this story was heading.
"So after we rescued Harry, we found out that a house elf was the one making sure he did not receive his letters because bad things were going to happen and he was trying to discourage him from going. Everything was normal for a while..."
"Apart from the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher being unable to teach us a damn thing" George grumbled, finding that to be one of the most useless year of DADA.
"It was all fine up until the caretaker's cat was found petrified and next to her was a message on a wall that said 'the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware' with the floor flooded underneath"
George decided to inform them a bit about Hogwarts history to make sure there was no confusion "Hogwarts is basically split up into four different groups based on the four founders who were Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, We are placed in the house with our most dominant trait; Ravenclaw for wisdom and wit, Hufflepuff for the loyal and patient, Gryffindor for the courageous and determined and Slytherin for the cunning and ambitious. The Chamber of Secrets was created by Salazar and supposedly, those descended from Slytherin inherit a gift called Parseltongue which allows them to talk to snakes. So when it turns out that Harry had this gift, the blame was instantly on him"
"It didn't help that a person he saved one day from a snake attack was the next person to be petrified after a Muggleborn called Colin Creevey"
"It wasn't until after Harry's own friend Hermione had been petrified and he had to face a bunch of Acromantula, which are basically giant man eating spiders, that he found out what the monster was but by then, it was too late. It had already got its first victim to kill, our younger sister. When Harry went down to save her, he faced a Basilisk alone that was more than 60ft long and if you looked into its eyes, you would instantly die. The reason everyone else was being petrified was because they had all looked at it through reflective surfaces and if it wasn't for the school's phoenix scratching out its eyes then Harry might have died as well. He also came upon a ghost of a 16 year old wizard named Tom Marvolo Riddle. Apparently, our sister had found a diary that housed his soul and it was slowly draining her life so that he could live..."
"If you change the words around though, the name is actually an anagram for 'I am Lord Voldemort'. We don't know how he managed to become a 16 year old ghost though. We would probably have to research some of the older grimoires to find out how he did it. Eventually, he managed to kill the snake by shoving Gryffindor's sword through the roof of his mouth but in the process he managed to get his arm pierced by one of its fangs that held a poison that had no cure. With that same fang, he stabbed the diary, ultimately killing Tom's ghost and saving our sister. He would have died as well if the phoenix hadn't used its healing tears to save him"
::He has only been at that school for two Earth years and already his life has been risked multiple times. Are the mentors so incompetent that they cannot even guard the younglings:: Ironhide replied angrily over the Comms, his engine rumbling more and more in anger with every event of Harry's life that was told.
::What concerns me more is the fact that they allow this ta happen repeatedly without doin' anythin'. Such as how Harry was the one ta go ta the Chamber of Secrets an' not an adult that would surely have more knowledge an' experience than him:: Jazz put in, also feeling anger at the situation.
::I have a feeling that we have yet to hear the worst of what is to come:: Optimus said, keeping an eye on both the road as well as sleeping wizard that was mumbling something as he slept.
"In third year, a mass murderer escaped the wizarding prison called Azkaban that is guarded by Dementors and was supposedly after Harry as he was the one who told Voldemort where the Potters were hiding. He wanted revenge for Harry destroying his master so they allowed Dementors to come on to the school grounds which repeatedly went after Harry. Thankfully, we had a great DADA teacher that year who taught Harry the Patronus charm to protect himself against them and also turned out to be the werewolf friend of his dad's he mentioned earlier. But no one knew that he was a werewolf until near the end of the year when, supposedly, multiple parents asked him to be removed due to him being a Dark Creature" Fred huffed out the last part, clearly finding the incident stupid as well as the Autobots. If he was there for nearly a year and nothing happened then surely he could be trusted not to do anything after.
"It turned out the murder and Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, was actually framed for his crimes and wasn't given a trial. The real traitor was James' other friend Peter Pettigrew, who had been hiding as a rat for the past 11 years instead of being dead. He escaped before they could prove Sirius' innocence so he had to go into hiding" George told them while leaning back a bit more into his seat.
"Then there was this year, the year Voldemort came back for real" Fred said, holding back a shiver at the thought of the dark wizard coming back. "Our school was holding the Tri-Wizard tournament, a tradition that had been disbanded due to the high death risks but they had put an age line around the method for choosing the champions so that only those the age of 17 or over could participate and only one from each school. Those being Durmstrang Institute, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Hogwarts. Yet Harry's name managed to end up there even though he was under age, does not have the magical knowledge to break one of the greatest wizards of our time complex spells and was blamed for it"
"They didn't make him participate did they?" Jazz asked the two but already having a good idea on what the answer was.
"THEY DID!" they both shouted out angrily, causing their magic to flare a bit and Jazz's circuitry to go haywire.
"Whoa, chill a bit lil fellas. Ah don't wanna crash" he told them soothingly.
They did as he said and took deep even breaths before apologising "We're sorry about that Jazz, Harry's treatment always makes our magic flare a bit"
"No problem, just remin' me not ta come near ya guys when yer mad" he replied back, glad that his systems were back to normal, even if he could still feel a buzzing sensation through his systems.
George continued on "The contest consisted of three tasks. The first was to take something from a dragon, retrieve an object from mermaids and then make his way through a deadly maze to retrieve a cup that had been spelled to take him straight onto Voldemort's clutches"
"However, he wasn't the only that got caught up in the port-key, an object spelled to take wizards across great distances. The other Hogwarts' champion also got dragged along and since Voldemort didn't need him, he killed him while Harry could do nothing. He managed to escape with Cedric's body after Voldemort had been revived but no one believed him. The DADA teacher turned out to be an imposter and Harry was sent back to those people" Fred's voice came out muffled a bit as he rubbed his face in exhaustion of remembering the full version of Harry's life.
"Ya mean his family?"
Fred snorted at the silver alien "I wouldn't call them his family with the abuse. Harry literally had no one to go to as it turned out our mother, younger brother and sister, along with the headmaster, all conspired together to get Harry's inheritance"
::What's abuse?:: Bumblebee asked, Jazz relaying the question to the twins.
"It's when some treats someone else with cruelty and or violence and that's what they did to him. From the time he was old enough, he was made to cook and clean for them while they watched and did nothing. You've seen how small he is, well his growth is due to them not feeding him and by making him live in a cupboard for 10 years. We're pretty sure that they did something else but he won't tell us if they did"
::THOSE GLITCH SPAWNED FRAGGERS! IF I EVER SEE THEM I WILL CRUSH THEM WITH MY WRENTCH, BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE AND THEN DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!:: the medic shouted over the Comms, deafening the Autobots slightly.
::Who would do something like that? Not even a Decepticon would process an idea like that:: Bumblebee asked the rest of the Autobots.
As much as the Decepticons were evil, they were still Cybertronians and all Cybertronians saw Sparklings as gifts to be treasured and protected. There had hardly been any Sparklings born since the start of the war with a few exceptions. The Allspark was only one means of doing so but the most common way and if Megatron got a hold of the Allspark, he would be able to control the future of Cybertron.
"So when he overheard what they had been doing, he acted as he normally would so they would not become suspicious. He got in contact with Sirius so that he could get emancipated and leave Britain. America was the best option as they have a strict justice regime and were appalled at both Harry's, Sirius' and Remus' treatment as there are no prejudices against creatures, dark or light, over here. Werewolves are able to adopt so long as they have somewhere they can be, where they won't injure their families, when the full moon comes about" Fred told them.
"We happened to overhear Harry's plans and before Sirius could leave, we asked if we could come with them. Harry is like a little brother to us and it would be better if he had a family that loves him in his life. It would also be easier for him to adapt if there were wizards near enough his own age there for him"
::I see now why they instantly placed themselves in front of my cannons so quickly. With all that's happened they weren't taking any chances:: Ironhide mused.
"We think something else is going on though" they both said after a while, their faces pulled into ones of deep thought.
"Whatcha mean by that?" Jazz asked them.
Fred listed off all the things that were suspicious about the whole ordeal "Well, if Dumbledore was just after the money, why would he let Harry risk his life every year when he's not married and has not created a will? Three kids were able to get past protections a dark wizard shouldn't and he risked the lives of all the other students by bringing the stone into the castle when he knew someone was after it. The Basilisk had struck before when Dumbledore was a teacher there so he should at least know something about stopping it sooner and he didn't warn any of the parents. A supposed convict was able to get past one of the most powerful protection wards along with two separate incidents of those who were Animagi"
"He's also Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and Supreme Mugwump, a high position of political power who could have pushed forward for Sirius' trial but he didn't do a thing…"
"And there's also the fact that he couldn't tell the difference between a man who he had been friends with for a long time and an imposter. The Tri-wizard tournament is another thing. Harry was told that the contract was bound by his magic but Harry didn't have to do it as it was only his name on the paper. None of Harry's magic was put into it so we asked Sirius, who checked some of the Black ancestral tomes on the event, and he said that if Harry didn't compete in the first one, then it wouldn't be held against him. But as he did attend, he had to go through with the rest. It's all a bit to convenient for comfort"
"Ah agree with yah there"
"He's up to something, other than just getting his wealth, but we don't know what" they both finally finished.
Optimus stopped listening when he felt that Harry was struggling in his seat, tossing and turning all over the place with the mumbling becoming louder. He could hear the wizard say "No" and "Stop" in his sleep. Optimus ran a quick scan to find that his heart rate had sped up greatly as well.
Not sure what to do, he commed Ratchet ::Ratchet there's something wrong with Harry. He fell into recharge and has become distressed, what should I do?::
::From what I've heard he's most likely suffering from what humans call a nightmare. I would not be surprised if he has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and is reliving one of his memories. You need to try and calm him down. Turn up your heaters and talk soothingly to him" Ratchet advised.
Optimus did what the Medic asked and began to click and coo in his native language as he would with a distressed Sparkling. It seemed to be working as Harry's face smoothed out and his breathing became regular.
::He is alright now:: Optimus told the rest of the Autobots.
::I doubt that Optimus, That boy has been abused since he was a Sparkling and thrown into situations that should not even be able to occur around him and yet they allow it to happen time and time again!:: Ratchet practically shouted over the Comms. The rest of the Bots had no doubt that if he ever met any of the humans (Wizard or not) who did this to Harry, they would be introduced to the Mech's fury and trusted wrench.
::I think I should introduce them to my cannons:: Ironhide said in a threatening tone.
::As much as I believe we should not hurt the human race, I would have to agree with you Ironhide:: Optimus told them, causing them all to jerk in surprise. Optimus must have truly been angry at them for even considering harming a human.
::Never knew you had it in you Prime:: Ironhide said.
::We're almost there sir:: Bumblebee informed his leader as they turned into Sam's street.
::Understood Bumblebee::
Bumblebee turned down to the side of the house so that they ended up between Harry's and Sam's house. As soon as the Scout stopped, Sam and Mikaela got out with Sam telling Mikaela "I need you to stay here alright? You got to stay here and you got to watch them alright?"
"Okay" Mikaela responded, shaking her head.
The twins got out of Jazz who asked them "Would ya mind wakin' Harry up? He fell in ta recharge an' ah don't think OP would wake him up just ta give him some more time ta recharge"
They paused mid stride to stare at the silver Solstice then at the blue and red Semi in front "You're telling us that Harry fell asleep and didn't wake up?" they asked incredulously.
"Yeah, does tha' not normally happen?"
"No. Ever since Cedric died, he's had recurring nightmares of the event. This is the first time he has actually stayed asleep since it happened"
::After we find the Cube, I'm going to have a long chat with that boy along with a full medical examination. He needs to regain weight and I need to see if I can help with the damage those slagheaps did to him:: Ratchet proclaimed, growling in anger at what had happened to him.
"I swear upon my spark that I will protect this youngling" Optimus thought in determination, vowing not to allow those people to harm him anymore.
Lorenzoguy14: Remus and Sirius will meet the Autobots but not until after the first movie as I plan to go through all four movies.
Sousie: You got it, I've always loved the idea of them getting together just because of all the shenanigans they would do together.
Thank you all for the reviews!
