Chapter 5

Halo woke up the next day to her alarm clock, and went about her morning routine, glad it was a Saturday. But she had a few things she had to do. One of them being to follow the pull to that dying spark she could feel. She left a note telling Draco that she would be gone for a while on a few errands, but to make himself at home and then she left.

She followed the pull in her gut for an hour until she found a beaten up police car. It was one of the Deceptacons. Barricade, if she remembered correctly. She really should call someone else, but something in her gut told her that she could help the injured mech, and get him to switch sides. So, she conjured up a tow line, and towed the car to an old shed she had fixed up as a workshop a while ago. She knew no one came here. A couple of spells had verified that.

Halo set to work, stabilising the injured mech, before following her gut as to what to do to help him repair as much as she could that day. She felt him start up his engine.

"No, you aren't well enough yet. I'm trying to help you, but you need to stay here." She said softly.

Halo felt his reluctance, but he agreed. She smiled, and set to work again. There wasn't much she could do, but when she'd done all she could, she washed up her oily hands.

"That's all I can do until I can get the right parts. I'll be back as soon as I can to help fix you up further, but it will be in several days. So, I guess I'll see you then?" No response, but she wasn't expecting any, so Halo left.

When she got home, Draco gave her the third degree for worrying him, but she reassured him, and then took him over to meet Sam.

"Oh, hello, Halo!" Judy said.

"Hey Judy! I'm here to see Sam, and introduce him to an old friend. One of the few; Drake Lewis."

"Well, hello Drake. I'm Judy Witwicky, but you can just call me Judy. Come on in, the both of you. Sam's in his room, sorting out his EBay account. Adjusting a few things. Go right up."

"Right." Halo said, nodding, and shooting Draco a look that said she'd explain EBay later.

The two walked up to Sam's room, and Halo found him at his computer.

"Hey Sam." She said.

"Hey, Halo. Who's your friend?"

"This is Drake Lewis. One of the few friends I had at home. He's come to stay for a few weeks. Drake, this is Sam Witwicky. My first friend here, followed closely by Miles."

"Nice to meet you, Drake." Sam said, shaking his hand.

"You too, Sam." Draco said.

A couple of weeks went by, and the time of Prom came round. Halo wanted to go, but she didn't have a date. She knew who she wanted to go with, but she didn't know if he could go.

"Sam, can people from out of school come?" she asked her friend.

"Sure." He said. "So long as they're in our year."

Halo let out a breath. She could pass Draco off as in their year. She'd done it, after all. So, that was settled, she'd ask Draco. But before she went home, she had a patient to check on.

Halo had been working on Barricade for a few weeks, and she could sense him softening to her slightly. She thought she had an idea how to get him to switch. She needed to get him to see what was wrong with what the Deceptacons wanted to do, and she knew just how to do it. Hopefully. It was a long shot, but she had to take it. To help him.

Halo had been working for ten minutes, before she began talking.

"You know, I don't get why people want to destroy those they see as 'less' than themselves. It's a bit stupid, if you think about it. Every human is sentient, right? So, why are any of us any less than the other, or another race?" Halo asked. "I've seen enough of hate like that in my life. I've seen it my whole life." She could sense Barricade's curiosity and inside she was grinning. This could work. In a space of a few weeks, she had him curious in listening to why the Deceptacons were wrong. Just like Voldemort. "I guess what I should start with saying is that I'm from a parallel universe. No body else knows. But, anyway, in the world I'm from, there's the wizarding world, with magic, the whole lot from the legends. The wizarding world exists in secret, but there's a war going on." She went on to talk about Voldemort and what he was doing. "And then, when I was one, Voldemort came to my house. He came to kill me." Halo felt his anger. Was he angry that someone tried to hurt her? "I can remember it. I can remember my father telling my mother to take me and run. That he'd hold Voldemort off. Dad was the first to die. And then Voldemort found mum and I in my nursery. I was one, you see. But, anyway, he told my mother to step aside. She was a muggleborn. She was what he despised, but he was giving her a chance. I don't know why. But she didn't. She begged him to have mercy, and then to take her instead. I can remember a high pitched laugh, her screaming my name before she died, and then a flash of green, but that's it. But I do know the rest of the tale. He turned his wand on me, and the killing curse rebounded, tearing him from his body, and leaving me with a lightning bolt scar. I was then sent to live with my mother's sister. While Voldemort and his Death Eaters hated muggles because of their lack of magic, the Dursleys hated me because I had magic." Halo went on to explain her life, all the way up to the point of being thrown through the veil. "And that's how I ended up here. Draco followed me through, though. He's just staying for a few weeks though." Halo sighed, and then looked at her watch. "Sweet Merlin, is that the time? I have to go, Barricade? Before Drake has a panic attack. If you go for a drive again, please make sure you don't let anyone who could recognise you see you. I want you to get a second chance too. Like I did. See you Barricade!" Halo said, before exiting, leaving the mech to think over what she told him.

Draco had agreed to going to Prom with Halo, and Sam had taken him to get a suit, and Halo and Mikayla had gone to get dresses together. Halo's dress was different to what she wore normally, but she loved it, so, when the night of the Prom came, she and Mikayla changed at hers, and Sam and Draco changed at Sam's, with the help of Judy.

Halo stared at herself in the mirror. She hardly recognised herself. She was in an emerald green, strapless corset style satin dress that fell to floor, and fanned out. She was wearing an emerald tear drop necklace with matching earrings and bracelet. Her hair was curled and pulled to one side, and held in place with jewelled clips. Halo's makeup was light, but it was done beautifully.

Halo looked at Mikayla and smiled. Her friend looked beautiful in a sapphire blue dress, with jewelled sweetheart straps, and some beading on the side of the skirt which fell to the floor. Her hair was up in a loose bun, and she was wearing the sapphire version of Halo's jewellery, but the shape of the jewels was slightly different. Her make up was also light, but in different colours.

"Ooh, let me have a photo of the two of you together!" Judy said.

Mikayla and Halo laughed and stood together. Halo was glad for the glamour charms over her body, hiding the scars, and the concealer over her lightning bolt scar. A few photo's were taken, and when the boys were heard downstairs, they headed down, Judy first with the camera.

Mikayla and Halo went down together, and Draco's, Sam's and Ron's jaws dropped. Judy closed Ron's mouth for him, and began taking photos. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Halo walked over to Draco.

"Drake, you're going to catch flies. It's unbecoming." She laughed as his mouth snapped shut, and he shook his head, as if to clear it.

"You look, beautiful." He said.

"You look quite dashing yourself." Halo said.

He was dressed in a very smart tuxedo, and his hair was slicked backwards, as always.

"Thank you, My Lady. Here." He opened a box with a corsage that was silver. Halo had to stop herself from laughing as he slipped it on her wrist.

"I love it." She said.

"I'm glad. It took ages to get a hold of."

"Photos!" Judy cried.

There were group photos, single photos, and pairs. Soon, they were all leaving, and getting into Bumblebee, not that Draco knew that Bumblebee was, well, Bee…

None of them noticed either Barricade, or Ironhide, hiding in different areas of the street, watching the youngling they had both unofficially adopted leave to something that was for some reasons important to humans.

Lucius Malfoy watched the run down shed carefully. She came here regularly. Everything was ready, now all he had to do was wait.

At the hotel, they were all shown to the correct function room, where the Prom was already underway.

"May I have this dance?" Draco asked Halo.

"Of course." She said, and allowed herself to be led to the dance floor to dance.

Halo spent most of the night, dancing with Draco, though sometimes she danced with Sam, and Draco with Mikayla. And also, there were several dances that people didn't need a partner for, really.

By the end of the night, Halo was exhausted, and more than a little bit tipsy, but she had had a wonderful night. The best part, however, was when she'd been dancing with Draco, and he had leant down, and kissed her. It was her first kiss, and it was perfect. She knew that she'd liked Draco for a while, and had wanted him to be her first kiss, and it had worked out.

But, the night had come to an end, and they had all gotten back into the car, laughing, and thoroughly drunk. Luckily, Sam only had to look like he was driving, Bee would do the work.

"Look! No hands!" Sam said, taking his hands from the steering wheel.

The four teens laughed hard. The drive was spent a lot like that. It was a miracle they managed not to get pulled over.

Bee pulled up in Sam's drive, and they all got out. Halo hugged everyone including, to Draco's astonishment, Bee. He didn't understand Bee was an alien though, Halo reminded herself.

Her and Draco staggered back home, but sobered up when they saw a nervous looking Hermione, Fred, George, Luna, Neville, Bill, Charlie and Fleur.
