Chapter 9: Games and Promises

"GET BACK HERE YOU SLAGHEADS!" Ironhide's angry voice shouted across the nearly deserted hallway. The humans who were walking down it instantly flattened themselves against the walls as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker came barrelling around the corner. Each had a Weasley twin attached to their shoulder and were laughing their asses off at whatever prank they had done now.

As soon as they disappeared around the opposite corner, Ironhide barged from where they had just come from. The humans' mouths dropped open in shock when they saw what looked to be a blond wig attached to his head along with a silver tiara perched on top. He also had paint on his faceplate to look like he was wearing eyeshadow, lipstick and blusher along with bright pink bows on his cannons.

The humans waited until he had left to burst out laughing at the sight, tears streaming down their faces from laughing so hard.

Time skip

Harry was trying not to fall asleep in his lunch when he heard that Fred, George, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had finally been sent to the brig; one hour after they had pranked Ironhide.

It had taken two days, along some help from Harry, to get the solution to return the Autobot brothers back to normal and for them to issue a prank war among the two sets of twins. It ranged from putting frilly dresses on each other to the most annoying and ear grating songs following them for hours on end. When Prowl had finally got the brig built, with anti-Apparition wards so that Fred and George couldn't escape, he thought it would be a good idea to lock them in there at the same time. When they came back out, the prank war had ended but now they had combined forces. Pranking almost everyone on base, both Autobots and humans. The only ones who had been spared the torture were Optimus and Harry. Even Sirius and Remus had not been safe from their mischief. Although, they soon proved that they weren't called the Marauders for nothing, getting revenge by stringing the quartet up by their feet and attaching feathers all over them. Both twins learned quick enough to never go up against them again.

Rubbing tired eyes, Harry continued to try and eat his lunch while simultaneously reading another letter he had gotten from Hermione. He was becoming a bit tired lately, what with all the work he had been doing. Even with Sirius help, he was finding it hard to keep focus. Learning the duties of being a Lord, a liaison for the Magical world and Remus' lessons were all starting to take a toll on his already tired body thanks to all the nightmares he was getting. They were even worse with it being All Hallows' Eve. The strange thing was, they weren't just about his parents or Cedric's death anymore. The new dream started with him going down a dark corridor that led to a black door, but the perception was wrong. It was like he was sliding across the floor and all he could hear was hissing.

He nearly jumped out of skin when someone placed a hand his shoulder, but soon calmed down when he saw that it was just Jazz's holoform. During Arcee, Elita-One and Chromia's first mission against a Decepticon, humans had noticed that the riders of the bikes were blueish and kept flickering out of existence. It had been lucky that no one had seen them change into their bipedal forms but now they had a few people in South Wales thinking that they had spectral riders roaming the streets. The few humans that had seen them had been partying beforehand so no one believed them because they thought they were drunk so they didn't have to Obliviate anyone that time, but they couldn't take the risk of more people noticing the same thing. Ratchet designed something called holoforms to help with this. From what Harry had been told, it basically allowed the images to solidify and allowing their minds to split from their bodies. They could feel pain, sleep and even eat human food. Ratchet had immediately regretted installing that last feature when Fred and George had given the other twins Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Both of them trying the grey ones which shorted out their systems due to the overwhelming heat.

Jazz's holoform looked to be in his twenties and stood at about 5 foot and 6 inches with short, slightly curled black hair with silver highlights. His skin was like mocha and his bright blue eyes were covered up by light blue, visor glasses. He wore a sort sleeved, white top under a silver jacket that had the Autobot symbol stitched in white on the upper arm. This was also along with comfortable looking black jeans and grey converse.

"Yah okay there Harry?" The Saboteur asked. He was pretty sure humans weren't meant to have dark circles under their eyes, or nearly using their food as a pillow.

"Yeah, just didn't get a lot of sleep last night" or any night for that matter but Harry refused to tell anyone about it. He would just take a Pepper Up potion before anyone else noticed. He could already feel the worried look directed at him from behind Jazz's visor. The disguised mech stared at Harry for another minute before leaving as silently as he had come.

Harry watched the retreating Bot's back and then turned back to his letter to continue reading. It seemed as if the Ministry had decided to place someone called Dolores Umbridge as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Hermione described her as a vile toad of a woman who spouted out more Pureblood nonsense than Malfoy. In fact, Malfoy had yet to say anything degrading to anyone since term started apparently; not even mentioning his Father once. He did tend to stare at her, but she put that down to both Harry going missing and because she refused to talk to Ron after he exploded on her because of his low grades. At least it meant that she had an excuse not to hang round with him without seeming suspicious. Hermione wouldn't help some who refused to study. Ron couldn't just keep trying to copy her work, especially with the O.W.L's coming up. It was already bad enough that Umbridge was sabotaging their education by not doing any of the practical side of DADA. So the Witch had taken to spending her time with Neville and his Ravenclaw friend, Luna Lovegood, as far away as she could get from the toad and Ron.

Harry folded the letter back up and picked up his mostly empty bowl to take it to be cleaned. He was happy that even with him not there, Hermione had someone she could trust. Dumbledore couldn't ask for a student to come to his office unless he was their Magical Guardian or had a reasonable excuse. Since he wasn't and her grades were perfect, he couldn't get her alone to interrogate her about if she had seen Harry.

"Maybe I should see if she can transfer out of Hogwarts" he thought, walking out of the canteen and waving to a few of the people he knew around the base. Hogwarts had been unsafe while he was attending, he didn't know if it would be any better with or without him there. Another school would accept a transfer is the school was unsafe (no competition there) or if the education is not adequate for the student. So Umbridge might have been good for something after all. She doubled the chances of anyone who wanted to leave Hogwarts.

With that in mind, he went to his room to get a Pepper Up potion and to write a reply to Hermione to see what she thought about moving to a new school. Maybe Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France (Hermione had become quiet fluent in French) or even Ilvermorny and The Salem Witch Institution here in America. It was unlikely that she would leave Hogwarts but at least the option was there.

Optimus' POV

Optimus vented as he finally finished the last of the datapads for a few hours. Deciding to stretch his peds out, he walked out of his office and it wasn't long with his strides that he was entering the command centre to see how the other Cybertronians were doing. He had already received a report from Prowl stating that he had placed both twins in the brig once again, this time for making Ironhide look like a human princess. Having received the databurst that they had sent to every Autobot and human on base, Optimus had been lucky enough to see it in his office where no one could see or hear him chuckling.

He looked around to see that most of the Cybertronians were there, excluding a certain pair of twins for obvious reasons. Arcee and Elita-One were playing with Techstream and Scatterbite while Chromia and Ironhide entertained Hydroburst. Ratchet was conversing with the two older Wizards about something while Prowl, Will and Epps did the same. He couldn't see Harry anywhere but the other humans were all calm so he assumed that everything was fine. That was until he saw Jazz. The Saboteur was frowning and his optics, which weren't covered by his visor, were looking at the wall as if he was deep in thought.

"Is everything alright Jazz?" he asked while walking closer to the silver Cybertronian.

It took another nano-klik for him to reply "Ah think somethin' is wrong with Harry"

This caused all the Autobots, humans and Wizards to stop what they were doing to stare at the silver mech "What do you mean? Is he sick" Remus asked in worry.

"He just seems really tired lately. Ah saw him earlier nearly recharging in his food but when ah checked on him just a few kliks ago, he looked completely fine"

"He does seem to be doing a lot lately. I haven't seen him once take a break in the past few weeks, except to eat some food" Epps supplied

"He needs to rest" Ratchet told them "But every time I come near the boy to suggest anything, he runs in the opposite direction" Ratchet seemed to be very angry by the fact that he could not help one of his patients. Humans were harder to contain than Cybertronians, especially a certain pair of teleporting twins. They had to ask Sirius to put up Anti-Apparition wards in both the brig and the medical bay just to keep them contained.

"Don't take it personally Ratchet. Harry spent a lot of time in the hospital wing at Hogwarts. He's got an aversion towards any place that even resembles it" Remus reassured the Cybertronian.

"I doubt he's had any proper sleep since the end of his school term either. Especially because of the nightmares. He used to come into ours, or even the twins room, half way through the night to get back to sleep. But he hasn't once been to any of our rooms since we got here" Sirius told them. Optimus remembered that the twins had said something similar about Harry having trouble sleeping when they first met.

"The fact that it's Halloween doesn't help anything either" Remus added. Everyone, besides Sirius, looked confused at why the date was important. Optimus' own memory files brought up another conversation Fred and George had with Jazz. About how Harry's parents were murdered on this night.

The other Autobots, who had been there when Fred and George told them Harry's story, must have remembered as well because their faceplates morphed from confusion to a mixture of remorse for what happened to him and anger at the one who did it. Prowl, Arcee, Elita-One and Chromia decided not to ask right now. They would most likely wait until someone else told them.

"He doesn't have the best track record when it comes to Halloween" Sirius sighed out until a mischievous glint entered his grey eyes "But we have been planning something that will make him tired and keep his mind off everything that's happened for the past couple of years"

"But you still need a way to keep him in recharge" Chromia voiced. She looked at the Wizards and asked "Can your Magic help with that?"

"We could try a Dreamless Sleep potion but he would become addicted to it with how many nightmares he does have. Too many potions like that are bad for his health" Remus uttered.

Jazz suddenly piped in with something that instantly made everyone stare at him in confusion "What about OP?"

"What are you on about Jazz?" Elita-One urged him to continue.

"I mean when we first met them. We were on the way back ta Sam's house when Harry fell asleep. He didn't wake up once"

"Is that true?" Remus asked Optimus.

"It is. He seemed very tired on the way to Samuel's house so I offered for him to recharge if he wished to and I would wake him up when we got there. He did almost wake up but he remained asleep"

"Well if it wouldn't be much trouble, can he sleep in your cab?" he quickly continued before Optimus could give him an answer. Probably thinking that what he just asked for was a bit intrusive even if Optimus did not mind "Just for tonight. He just needs a little break. We can sort something else out after tonight"

There was no hesitation in his answer as Optimus replied with "It is quite alright. I do not mind"

Every Autobot looked at him in surprise. He knew exactly what they were all thinking, just like when he first agreed to be partnered with the Wizard. Optimus hardly ever showed much emotion to a singular being in case the Decepticons attempted something, but Harry had asked him to be his guardian and he was not going to fail in his duty to protect him. Even if it's from his own mind.

"Okay, so what's your plan to get his mind off this then?" Arcee asked.

The older Wizards looked at one another before Remus explained, all the while glancing at Prowl "There is two parts to this. One of which always works to make him happy-"

"But we're going to need the twin's help with it" Sirius ended. He was also looking at Prowl now, since he was the one who decided who goes in and out of the brig.

His faceplates didn't give anything away but Prowl was definitely conflicted on the inside. Only those who had known him for a long time could see the emotions he kept hidden. Optimus guessed that Prowl was processing the fact that if he let the human twins out, then they wouldn't leave the other two in there. So if he let one pair of pranksters out, then he had to let all of them out.

Seeing the struggle in his mate's optics, Jazz walked up to him so that he could whisper into his audio sensors "Come on Prowler. It's just this one time and Harry really needs ta rest"

Prowl vented in defeat. Optimus knew that as much as he would like to keep both sets of twins in the brig for proper punishment, Prowl knew that the most logical thing was to let them out for the health of another.

"I will go let them out"

"Why don't we gather all the Bots and soldiers for this? I'm sure they'll love what we're about to show them" the smirk Sirius had on his face reminded Optimus of the one he gave the prankster quartet, just before they ended up being strung up by their peds.

"More like give them a heart attack" Remus muttered. He didn't exactly know why, but the Autobot leader feel that he had just condemned them all. Especially with the combination of Sirius' smirk and what Remus had just said. He could already feel his processor ache at whatever was about to happen.

Harry's POV

Harry had just walked into the main operations centre when he was grabbed underneath his arms from both sides, being lifted up so that his feet were not touching the ground and carried back outside. He turned his head to see a familiar red head and guessed that the one on the other side was his partner in crime.

"What are you two doing? I thought you were in the brig for the day along with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe"

"Early release" they both said.

"We're needed for a demonstration and so are you" Fred told him. His smile worried Harry a bit. It looked like the one where he didn't tell him everything about a prank they were about to pull. there was no point trying to find out what is was though, Harry knew he would never be able to get anything else out of them until it was too late. So he just resigned to his fate, letting them take him to wherever they wanted.

When he was finally placed back on the ground, he saw that they were on the airstrip where the fighter jets, planes and helicopters either landed or took off. All of the Autobots were there in their holoforms, either sitting down (Jazz, Arcee, Elita-One, Chromia and Sideswipe) or standing (Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl and Sunstreaker) while the three Sparklings were scattered amongst the group. Techstream was in Arcee's lap, Scatterbite on Jazz's back while Hydroburst was happily standing behind Ironhide in his bipedal form. The Sparklings were too young to have that sort of program in their processors. Will and Epps stood either side of the largest Sparkling with a few other soldiers scattered around them.

The twin's holoforms looked nearly identical in appearance, with only some small differences. The biggest one being their hair colour. Sunstreaker's was blond with black underneath while Sideswipe's was a bright red and black highlights. They were the same height as Fred and George, appearing to be at least 17 to 18 years old. Their skin was fair, looking like it could easily burn but never did as the sun wouldn't effect a holoform. Each were wearing tight jeans but Sideswipe's was grey while Sunstreaker's were black. Sideswipe was also wearing a red hoodie with the insignia on the back of it, the outline stitched in black. Sunstreaker was wearing a yellow, short sleeved V-neck top with a black, open jacket over it. Both wore converse in their respective colours.

Ironhide's form was 6 foot, in his late thirties and had a muscular build. His dark skin only a few tones lighter than Epps with black hair cut into a military style. A black tank top was on his chest along with camouflage, coloured cargo pants that were tucked into black military boots. Silver tags hung from his neck, one with his name in Cybertronian and the other with the Autobot emblem. You could see small scars over most of his body from past battles, the one under his eye being the most noticeable. His shining blue eyes were the same as the other Autobots holoforms.

Ratchet looked to be around forty. Standing at the same height as Jazz, hair peppered with white and pale skin with no wrinkles. He wore a doctor's coat over a light blue, button up shirt with a yellow and lime green tie around his neck. This was along with tan trousers and brown shoes. He even had a stethoscope around his neck to complete the doctor look. Underneath that was his own set of silver tags with his name and faction.

Like the twins, the triplets resembled each other to show that they were siblings but had their differences. Each had a tanned complexion, looked to be in their thirties and were similar in height. Arcee was 5 foot 4, Elita was 5 foot 5 and Chromia was 5 foot 6. Chromia's holoform had short blue hair which had been shaven close to her head on one side while the other came down to her chin, a part of which was highlighted silver. Her clothes consisted of a black, long sleeved top with a blue vest over it. She also wore black ripped jeans and black combat boots that came up to just under her knees, tied up with blue laces. A thin black belt hung on her waist with a silver, Autobot insignia buckle in the middle. She also had the symbol tattooed on to the upperpart of her arm but you couldn't see it due to her top. Arcee's hair was long in the front, reaching the middle of her neck while getting shorter the closer it got to the back of her head. It was also dyed the same purple as her Cybertronian form. She wore a lilac, off-shoulder tank top that ended just above her abdomen with a light grey t-shirt underneath and form fitting, black leggings that had a lilac stripe going up the sides. Adorning her feet were a pair of purple trainers, perfect for running. The Autobot insignia for her was tattooed on the upper part of her arm just like her sister. Elita-One's hair was short, spiky and bubble-gum pink. It matched her V-necked top, the arms of which ended in the middle of her bicep. Her bottoms where white, bell bottoms and her feet had white, strappy sandals. Her Autobot symbol was on the two earrings on the lower part of her ears while three, silver studs were above the one of her left ear. She also had a tattoo of it on the back of her neck.

Prowl was in his twenties, like Jazz, and was only a few inches taller. He was wearing a police uniform, but instead of what force he was on, he had the Autobot insignia stitched above his heart. This was over a white button up shirt. Black slacks and shoes were on his lower half separating his top half by using a utility belt that contained a gun, handcuffs and an assortment of other police items. He had some small stubble for a beard along with short, dark brown hair and his blue eyes were covered up by sunglasses.

Optimus stood tall and proud next to Prowl. He was about 6 foot 2 and although he did have a muscular build, he was not as muscular as Ironhide. He looked as if he was in his twenties, with lightly tanned skin. The holoform was wearing a white, crew neck t-shirt underneath a dark blue jacket that had red flames coming from the bottom of it. The bottoms were blue jeans while his shoes were a dark, leathery brown. His hair was short and so dark that it looked like I had a blue tint to it. He also wore silver dog tags but his also had the Cybertronian symbol for 'Prime' on them.

In front of them all was Sirius and Remus, standing before a black and silver trunk while Remus held on to some brooms; including Harry's Firebolt.

When Sirius saw that Harry had finally arrived, he smiled widely and then turned to face his audience "Today, we're going to demonstrate a popular game that a lot of Wizards play or support with the help of my lovely assistants" cue dramatic bowing by the red headed twins, their brooms now in their hands "But I first need to warn all of you that should any of the balls head your way, dodge it as fast as you can" Harry saw some questioning looks when Sirius said that but his godfather ignored them "Also, can someone watch Prowl in case he glitches. It's highly likely that he will"

With that out of the way, he turned around to open the trunk to show three balls and the Black crest in silver on the inside lid of the trunk. He pulled out a red ball that had some flat areas on it "Quidditch is a game that seven Wizards or Witches play and uses four balls. The first one is a Quaffle. It's a Chasers job to catch this ball and pass to one of the other two Chasers to, getting it through one of three hoops at either end of a pitch. This is while dodging the other team's Chasers as well as getting past the Keeper who guards the hoops. Each ball through the hoop equals ten points. Alright, up you go you two" Sirius said to the twins, chucking the Quaffle to them when they were a few feet above the ground. Harry was pretty sure that Prowl would have glitched had it not been for Ratchet next to him. He still heard Epps and Ironhide exclaim at the same time "How is that possible?"

"I think it's best if we just say its Magic and leave it at that" Will advised them.

Fred threw the Quaffle back to Sirius after they had tossedit between themselves for a bit. He then pulled out two small wooden clubs that were crossed on the lid of the trunk.

"What are those for?" Sunstreaker asked as Sirius passed them to Fred and George.

"These are for the Beaters. There are two people who play this position and we're lucky that both the twins were the Gryffindor Beaters in their old school. Their job is to keep these two black balls from hitting their team mates and sending them at the other team. Remember, if they come at you duck" he warned them, just before he unclasped one of the moving balls.

"What do you mean-?" Sideswipe began but was cut off when the black ball shot into the air like a speeding bullet and aimed at Fred. There was a moment of silence as all the Autobots and humans could do was watch in dread as the flying ball got closer to the teen. Fred was smiling like nothing was wrong and only brought the club back ready to hit it. They all doubted that he could do much against it but were surprised when not only did he hit it, but with enough force to send it high into the sky.

"That's a Bludger. Basically have a mind of their own and go after the players"

After wrestling with the deadly ball for a good five minutes trying to get it back in the trunk, Sirius tapped the silver crest in the middle of the trunk for it to spiral away, revealing a golden ball which Sirius pinched between two fingers.

"Now this is the final and most important ball in the game" some of them had to move closer because of how tiny it was.

"It's called the Snitch and the game can't end until it's caught. Whoever catches it normally wins the game because it's worth one hundred and fifty points"

"That doesn't seem too hard. The games must not last long" Arcee commented. She wondered if the Snitch was similar to the Bludger and had a mind of its own.

"Actually, the longest game ever played was three months. They kept having to bring in substitutes so that the players could eat and sleep" Remus said.

Jazz whistled at that "That's ah long time for ah human" he commented.

Sirius placed an arm around Harry to pull him into a one armed hug and ruffle his hair with the same arm while the other kept a firm hold of the Snitch "We are even luckier to have the youngest Seeker of our time, and no not like the apparently flying Dorito you call Starscream" snickers could be heard coming from a majority of the audience "For Wizards, it's the last position in Quidditch"

"Now try and keep your eyes on the Snitch" Sirius commanded as they watched frail, fairy like wings unfolded from around the golden ball and flap leisurely for a moment until they were flapping so fast that all they could see was a blur.

Sirius let the Snitch go allowing it to practically disappear. Everyone was looking for it in all directions, trying to find the golden sphere but with no luck. Optimus looked at Harry to see his green eyes flickering about from one direction to another "It looks like he's following the Snitch but how can he possibly keep up with it?"

"You got it Harry?" Sirius asked as he watched everyone's faces to see that they had given up.

Harry didn't reply as he mounted his broom and shot off much faster that the twins had gone. He zipped around in different directions, going higher and higher until he started to dive down to the ground. To Harry, he felt happy, free and excited as the wind rushed passed him; gaining more speed to catch the Snitch. The Autobots and their allies had a different opinion.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING!" everyone practically shouted. The Autobots were about to disperse their holoforms, to try and at least do something to save Harry when he finally levelled off. A bit too close to the ground in their opinion, but Harry was grinning widely. When he came closer, they noticed that he had the Snitch grasped tightly in one hand. The wings were flapping uselessly now that someone had a hold of it.

When he finally landed, after doing a few twists and turns for a few minutes, he heard Ratchet mutter "I swear to Primus that you're all trying to give me a spark attack"

It was as Fred and George flew above the Medic's helm, circling him like vultures, that they told him "Wait until you hear about the time that someone cursed a Bludger to kill Harry-"

"Or the time when someone vanished all the bones in his arm when another Bludger broke it-"

"Or maybe that time a Dementor tried to suck his soul out of his body while hundreds of feet in the air"

A collective shiver passed through everyone at the mention of the Dark Creatures. The femmes and Prowl didn't know what creatures the twins were talking about, but the fact that they could take a human's soul didn't put any of them at ease.

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had actually seen one of them, seeing it on one of the Wizard's moving pictures from an old newspaper. They looked like those pictures of a grim reaper, with those dark cloaks and unseen faces. According to their partners in pranking, it was better that they remained hidden. Only those who had avoided the Dementor's Kiss had glanced underneath them and those who had managed to escape wished they hadn't. Even Harry and Sirius refused to mention it to any of them.

Remus was glad to see that Harry had perked up a bit, even with the Dementors being brought up. He decided to continue on with the little lecture. Although Sirius knew quite a bit more about Quidditch than him, he still knew a fair bit as well "As you probably noticed, Harry's broom is a lot faster than the twin's and looks different. Harry's happens to be the latest version called a Firebolt, the fastest one at the moment. There are more types of brooms, even ones small enough for kids. They have safety spells on them so they only go a few feet in the air"

Epps suddenly grinned and looked at Will "Hey Will, when is Annabelle's birthday again?"

"Nope" he said sternly. He was not about to put his little girl on one of those death traps. Epps let out a pitiful moan "Come on Will, what kid doesn't want to fly? I'd be her favourite uncle then"

Prowl looked between the two of them in confusion "Neither of you came from the same sire nor creator. How would you be related to her if not biologically?"

"It's like how the twins call Harry their brother even though they aren't related. Their bonds are so strong that they consider themselves family, despite being from different ones. I consider Epps to be my brother and so he would be Annabelle's honorary uncle"

When Prowl nodded in understanding, Will turned his attention back to Epps "And if you want to buy one so bad, why don't you get one for your own kids?"

A look of fear replaced the previous grinning one "Hell no! Monique will kill me if I let them have one"

Will have him a deadpan look "And Sarah won't?" Now both men had looks of fear on their faces, just thinking about their wives reactions to their kids flying on a piece of wood.

"It wouldn't matter anyway" Sirius told them, finally taking the Snitch back from Harry "A broom requires Magic to fly, so if any non-Magicals find one, all they will see is a fancy broom"

Some of the Autobots *cough* Sideswipe and Sunstreaker *cough* looked down put when Sirius mentioned this but perked up when he continued "But that doesn't mean that you can't ride one with a Wizard or Witch with you"

"So who wants a go first?" The twins asked cheerfully.

Time Skip

Surprisingly, only Ratchet, Ironhide and Prowl refused to step anywhere near the broomsticks. Sideswipe and been the first to excitedly jump behind Fred, both of them taking off and doing all sorts of tricks like barrel rolls while Sideswipe clung on to Fred's waist. When he passed over the rest of them, they could hear him laughing loudly and screaming something that sounded like "THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN JET JUDO!"

Sunstreaker swiftly followed his brother's example, doing the exact same thing but on George's broom.

All the femmes had gone on Harry's broom, the three of them wanting the fastest one. Jazz also went on Harry's. Even though he could feel Prowl's worry over the bond whenever they sped up or preformed a trick, the Saboteur trusted the young Wizard. He just had to keep reassuring his sparkmate that he wasn't going to fall.

Even Optimus had decided to give it a try after watching everyone else enjoy themselves. With practically all the Seekers joining the Decepticons, a vast majority of the Autobots had ground based alt-modes and as such, never actually had the same experience as flight based Cybertronians. Due to his size, it had been decided that he would ride on Harry's broom. The Firebolt was a lot stronger than the twins and would be able to take the extra weight. Harry didn't do any of the tricks that the others had wanted, knowing that the Autobot leader would prefer a more scenic ride. So he went as high as he could go without Optimus having his holoform disperse from being out of range of his real body. Harry also alternated between different speeds so that he could have a good experience, even without all the tricks.

After an hour of this, the teen Wizards were becoming tired. So after they packed away all the supplies, Sirius led them to the second part of his plan.

When Harry entered the canteen, he had not expected for it to be decorated in purple, orange and green streamers. Pumpkins floated around in the air, casting an eerie glow on the room while cobwebs were strung around everywhere. Tables had been set up with pumpkin pastries, candy apples and an assortment of Wizarding sweets. Another table had bottles of what looked like pumpkin juice, butter beer and even Firewisky but Harry doubted that Remus would let anyone who looked under 18 any of that drink. Including the Autobot twins.

There was a collective gasp of "Whoa" around the room at the change. Only the Wizards had been allowed in there so no one had been able to see what they had been doing.

"It's the best that we could do on such small notice" Fred told them. He watched as looks of awe filled their faces at what they could accomplish in such a small amount of time.

"Yes, you may bow to our amazingness later but let's go celebrate Halloween before it ends" George hadn't even finished before he followed Fred, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker to the table full of Firewisky, Remus right on their heels.

By the time Harry was finally falling asleep, only a quarter of the food and drink was left. It had been fun, for Harry, to see some of the Autobots drunk. Ironhide and Chromia had gotten into a drinking contest, both having lasted the same time, before they left for their original bodies and their berth. A few of the humans had passed out, having not realised just how strong the Firewisky was, and had been left to the mercy of the two sets of twins and their black, permanent markers. They were staying as far as they could from Ratchet who, for some reason, had found a human sized wrench and was threatening to weld their afts to the ceiling once he found a blowtorch.

Jazz... was basically acting like a cat. Prowl had sat down only for Jazz to crawl all over him. He was even purring when he rested his head on his lap. Prowl just petted his helm and muttered something about Firewisky being as strong as something called high grade.

As soon as Sirius saw Harry start to close his eyes, he nudged Optimus to get his attention "He's finally nodding off"

Optimus nodded in acknowledgement and left the other Wizard alone to continue talking to Remus. When he was directly in front of the teen, he placed a hand on his shoulder which made Harry look up from his own seat and yawn out "Hey Optimus, what's up?"

"I think it is time for you to go into recharge Harry" Optimus told the teen, who was trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. He let out a tired "Okay" and attempted to get up, only to stumble about with his eyes half closed.

Not wanting Harry to hurt himself, Prime swiftly lifted the boy up into his arms bridal style. Harry weekly protested but he lost in the end when the holoform's warmth made him even sleepier. Optimus exited the canteen and headed straight to his office, where he had left his alt-mode earlier. Once opened, he strode over to his cab, the door swinging open as he got closer. He placed Harry in the cot, that came with his vehicle mode when he scanned it, already having a pillow and blanket there ready. He was just about to disperse his holoform when a hand shot out of the blankets to grip his wrist. Harry's green eyes stared sleepily at him.

"Please don't leave" Harry pleaded. He hadn't realised that he was not in his room in his tired state. However, unconsciously he knew that Optimus presence would help with his dreams. Harry didn't want to fall asleep only for his nightmares to haunt him.

Optimus smiled at the sleepy request "I will not"

Harry tried to stay awake but it was a losing battle. As he was drifting off, he asked one final time "Promise?"

Even though Optimus knew Harry meant for the night, he could help think that Harry was asking him not leave like the other people he knew. It was probably just his processor over thinking but he still vowed in a serious tone "I swear on my spark that I will not leave you Harry. I will protect you for as long as you live"

Satisfied with his answer, Harry fell asleep listening to the musical language of Cybertron. He swore he could almost understand some of it but ignored that thought in favour of getting some sleep. Instead of nightmares, he felt that he was in a warm sea full of glowing blue lights.

Thanks everyone for the reviews, follows and favourites I love writing this story and I'm happy that most of you like it. Also, the next chapter is focused on Hermione to see how the Hogwarts and Magical Britain is doing.
