Transforming Hogwarts
~Introducing Autobots~
News of the strange creatures spread through the entire school like rabid fire. None of the students, particularly the older ones or the ones from Pureblood families understood what was going on, though some of the ones from the Muggleborn families were excited as they had an inkling about robots and such matters. The students had varying opinions.
It was at dinner time that Dumbledore took the time to introduce the two guests who had made their presence known upon school grounds and it wouldn't be until morning that Dumbledore would be receiving letters from parents complaining about the situation at hand. Sari had done well in her first days worth of classes and was enjoying the food.
"Some of you students have heard that we had unexpected guests upon our school grounds. One of them happened to rescue one of our students and I would like to introduce you to the Autobots, Bumblebee and Prowl. They are going to be guests at Hogwarts and one may very well say that their stay here will serve a diplomatic role of sorts. So I expect you to be showing them the utmost respect. That also be said, be forewarned that they do not look like your normal creatures."
It was then that the two robots came into the room and caused the students to let out gasps. A few were terrified ones, but most were awestruck. Ron looked at them and frowned. "Blimey... the gits are huge. Is it just me or do they look like Muggle devices?"
"They're robots..." Hermione blinked a couple of times.
Percy shook his head. "I wonder what kind of diplomatic role they are serving. I don't know of any country that is primarily of non-humans."
At that, Harry and Hermione looked at each other with wide eyes. The one boy pushed up his glasses. "Hermione... didn't Sari mention something about... aliens?"
"Yes. She did." The girl let out a breath of deep air.
"Aliens?" Neville shook his head.
"That means they are appearently from the stars." Ron let out a laugh. "I honestly don't see how anything can come from the stars."
"You haven't read a Muggle sci-fi book or watched a Muggle sci-fi movie, have you Ron." Hermione let out a deep sigh. "I'll tell you it is very probable for things to come from outer space. Do you think Sari was lying to us?"
"I think she is off her rocker, that is what?"
Most of the students simply returned to eating their meals, while Prowl and Bumblebee observed from the side lines. Pansy Parkinson though wrinkled her nose. "What... are they waiting to eat us?"
"What do you mean?" Goyal spoke up through a mouth full of food.
"They aren't eating like we are. So what do they eat?" Pansy grumbled, glaring at the machines.
Draco found himself glancing up nervously at the creatures, his food going untouched. He didn't notice his two co hearts reach out and take his plate of food and begin to wolf it down. He then glanced over at the red headed Indian girl, before simply getting up and heading back to the dorm rooms. He wasn't going to say anything in front of the other Slytherins, but those things frightened him.
