Chapter 9-Dropped Bombs and shopping
As the silence reigned, while the two witches processed what Harry had said, many of the other Autobots had gone back to the jobs they had on hand and after a few minutes, Amelia had regain some composure to ask, "Mr. Potter are you saying that James and Lily are alive?" to the nod of Phoenix's helm, as he worked with Optimus on translating the Iacon Database with Jack and with the three working on the project, 4 more coordinates were unlocked, and the wreckers, build team and Protectobots were sent to intercept them.
While the Wreckers had gone to retrieve the artifacts, Ratchet and Mainframe were working with Hoist and Grapple on a machine that would utilize the fossil fuel to Energon Formula, Arcee and Nightbird went out on patrol and the rest were training or relaxing. After a while, Minerva retook the control of the conversation and stated, "Well Mr. Potter, since you still can become a human and use magic, do you still wish to enroll in Hogwarts?" in questioned query, her answer was, "Yes Professor, I will be happy to attend Hogwarts, even when I had trained with the soul of the Hogwarts founders, they did say, 'Magic is an ever changing phenomenon and each generation yields new skills that can become useful and renders the previous ones inadequate,' so I wish to see how old their teaching are and possibly learn more!" with the words of a wise Prime.
Smiling at the boy's answer, Minerva then replied, "Well we should get going and we'll start with your school supplies, at the Magical Markets in Los Vegas," and with that Phoenix headed to the human platform and was joined by the returning Red Alert and Grapple (Who have used their Human Identities to adopted Harry) while Phoenix and Grapple became Harry and Sparkplug (with Harrys Pretender spell), while Red Alert changed into her ambulance modified Porsche Panamera, a hologram of June Darby at the wheel.
(A.N. I have lost my patients in waiting for you to give me suggestions on what vehicles they are getting so I started with June and will give Harry's SUV a model soon.)
Then the witches and the Pretender Autobots got into the Porsche, before the portal of the ground bridge swirled into life and Red Alert went into gear, driving through the bridge. In an alleyway off the strip, a blue green vortex appear and ejected a Porsche Panamera Emergency vehicle which then turned down strip heading for the shopping district and following the directions of one of the witches within the car, soon they came up to a rustic style pub, when Minerva said, "Okay Mrs. Darby, that is the pub entrance of Magical markets and one block away is a good secure carpark we can park and you can transformers safely."
Continuing down the road, Red Alert entered the parking area, finding it was an underground carpark and virtually unpopulated. Back in London, where Dumbledore had just exited from the international Floo network, heading home from a meeting with the International Confederation of Wizards, where he was able to get the American representative to search for Harry to make sure he was okay (Not what he truly wanted, but he couldn't have Harry deported unless Harry had committed a crime) and see that any needs are seen to.
Exiting the ministry, Dumbledore return to his school where he finds a letter addressed to him and it reads: [Albus, a student had required a meeting with me and I have left for America, to meet with the student and his guardians. See you when I return, Minerva.] though puzzled, Albus let it slide seeing as there are always students transferring to Hogwarts for whatever reason and started to work on his paperwork, which he had been lazy about finishing, while on one of his many shelves, an instrument made to monitor the knowledge of: James and Lily life had gone black, indicating that someone found out they were alive.
Back in Los Vegas, Harry, June and Sparkplug had followed Amelia and Minerva back to the tavern, where they entered to find it was bigger on the inside and bar a few slumped figures (who were drunk) and the barmen, cleaning the counter not really taking much notice in the new arrivals, allowing them to slip pass to the back of the pub, where a brick wall was. Standing before the brick wall, Amelia press a series of bricks in a simple pattern, causing the wall to open and reveal large shopping district, which was a combination of medieval and modern buildings design, all of which was bursting with unrestrained magic and other shoppers.
Joining the fray, the two witches led the Potter-Witwicky-Darby family to the American branch of Gringotts. As they approached the bank, Harry, June and Sparkplug looked around spotting many different stores and before spotting a store that sold brooms, they were thinking, 'how stereotypical,' as they went pass, before they arrived at a large white and gold marble building. Within the bank, the Amelia directed them to a bank teller manned by a Goblin, while noting that: Harry, June and Sparkplug showed no sign of fear, 'Fighting the Decepticons must have something to with it,' she thought, as she and Minevra brackets them in from the back.
In front of them were a couple of young adults, both: male and female, the male was built athletically but on the skinny side, with knobby knees and glasses, topped with an untidy mop of black hair, while the female was on the petite side of athletic, professional postured and a curtain of crimson hair, reach to her lower back, just above the waist. Upon seeing them Amelia and Minevra, recognized them and both together asked, "James, Lily?"
