Chapter 11

Halo sat in Ironhide's cab, her legs stretched across the seat as she read a book. She had her foci back, courtesy of Hermione, and it was firmly on her wrist, where she was determined it would stay. She was currently reading 'The Art of Wandless' by Idogbe El-Amin. It was a book that Bill had found in Egypt, and had given her, after Draco had given her a foci the Christmas after he discovered she was good at wandless, which had been fifth year. Hermione had brought that book, and a load of others in her bottomless messenger bag which she'd charmed to open only to those who had been authorised.

Halo's posture would seem relaxed to most, but to those that knew her well enough, they would be able to tell that she was in fact tense, and ready for a fight. Every so often, her eyes would move off the page she was reading, and roam the cab, as if expecting an enemy to turn up. Each time, only Ironhide's holoform met her eyes, and she was able to relax for a bit and return to her reading.

"You need to relax, sparkling." Ironhide told her.

"I'll relax when we get to the new base, papa." She said.

He nodded. It was perfectly reasonable for her to be tense. She had three groups out for her blood, and two of them had a very powerful wizard leading them. She couldn't rest until she was in a place where their spells definitely couldn't track her. After all, who would relax, when at least two of her enemies possibly had the power to negate the spells inability to track someone on the move?

The next few hours were spent in silence, until Jazz spoke up over the communications link.

"I'm pulling over at the next possible place for the humans, I'll catch up later."

That brought Halo's attention's to her own needs, while she was now able to change into a Cybertronian, and had all the same needs as them while in that form, she needed the same things any human did while in her human form.

"Papa, I need to stop too."

"Right, you'll be quick though, right?"

"Of course." She said.

Ironhide quickly let the others know that he was pulling over too, so the entire convoy, however strange, were pulling over too. There was no way in hell they were taking any chances when it came to Halo's safety.

They pulled into a service stop, and Halo got out of Ironhide's cab, and closed the door, before heading swiftly into the large building, knowing the others were close behind her.

She had just finished and was heading for the exit, when several 'crack's!' sounded around her. Many members of the Order, as well as Dumbledore, were there, and all the civilian's were running for the exits, believing someone had fired gunshots. Halo quickly tapped the communications device, and took of running, using the crowd to her advantage. "Dumbledore and his Order are here!" She said.

"Get back here Halo! Now!" Ironhide ordered.

A spell shot at her, and she threw up a shield. She didn't stop, just kept running, with a shield up, protecting her from spell fire. As she got outside the doors, she was tackled to the ground by someone, her arms were pinned. As she struggled, she caught glimpses of Ironhide, Optimus, Barricade, Jazz, Ratchet and Bumblebee running towards the entrance, out of their Alt modes. Halo struggled to try and get free from the hard grip the man had on her, but nothing she could do was shaking him.

"Easy girlie." The gruff voice of Mad-Eye Moody growled. Something slipped over her head and around her neck. He let go of her, and just as she got off the ground, and began running, hand reaching up to grab what was around her neck to rip it off, she heard Mad-Eye call, "ACTIVATE!" There was a jerk behind her naval and she was portkeyed away.

Ironhide growled, when he saw Halo disappear. He grabbed up the heavily scarred human and shook him. "Where is she?" He growled.

"You won't get anything out of me." The human growled back.

"We'll see." Ironhide said, tightening his grip slightly, and pulling the man's wand from him, snapping the thin piece of wood easily, before finding another wand up the man's sleeve, he removed that, and then snapped it too. Just then, Fred and George came out, dragging a struggling red head between them. He looked older than the twins, but younger than Bill and Charlie.

"Come on Percy! You have some" Fred started.

"Question's to answer" George continued.

"Brother dear." They finished together.

"Are there any other Order members inside?" Optimus asked.

"I've done a sweep, none of them." Tonks said.

All the others were soon gathered, and Ironhide looked down at the human he was holding. "Even though you may not talk, what do you want to bet that your friend will?"

Halo watched as Dumbledore entered the room. She was tied to a chair, in a room in Grimmauld Place. She had been taken back to her original universe, and tied to the chair not an hour ago. She narrowed her eyes at Dumbledore. When she got out, he was going to pay. Oh when she got her hands on him, he was going to wish he'd never messed with her life.

"I am sorry Halo, but your cooperation is all for the greater good."

"The greater good of what? Your idea of a perfect little world? You want to know my idea on your greater good, headmaster?" She leant towards him, straining against her bonds. When she was close enough, she spat in his face, like she had with Simmons. "You can stuff your greater good up your arse and go throw yourself off a cliff. Because if you don't take me back right now, and let me go, primus help your soul 'cause your worthless aft is gonna be in some deep slag." She said, swearing in the way she'd heard Jazz swear, before he'd been hit around the back of the head by Optimus for swearing around sparklings. She thought she did it pretty well, too.

Dumbledore wiped the spit off his face.

"You don't know what you're dealing with old man. And my papa and daddy aren't going to appreciate you kidnapping me, and neither are any of the others. You have no idea how protective the Autobots are of me."

Dumbledore's eyes were furious, while his face was serene. He raised his wand. "Obliviate!"

"So, Percy, what information do you have on where the old goat's taken Halo?" Charlie asked his brother.

"N-not telling." Percy stuttered. He was tied up to a chair in the new base. Moody was in another room.

"Well, I'll just have to give you to Ironhide then." He said.

"They took her to Order Headquarters!" Percy said. "Please don't give me to that thing."

"Oh, I don't know Percy… You see, he and the others treat Halo like she's one of their own, well, she is one of their own. And Ironhide and Barricade are the most protective of her. They view her like a daughter, or a sparkling, if you will, and you know how bad parents can be when their child is threatened. I'm going to need some more information."

"Like what?"

"I thought you'd side with the ministry. Why Dumbledore?"

"He's going to use her to end the war, and then her fortunes can make our family rich. Think about it Charlie, we can have the money our family deserves."

Charlie shook his head. "That's not a reason. That's greed. Have you ever thought that she might just want what we already have?"

"And what can we have that she doesn't?" Percy sneered.

"A Family." Bill said. "Now, what do you know about Dumbledore's plans to do with Halo? And make sure your info's real, and good. Otherwise, well, a couple of angry Cybertronian's are waiting."

"Well, he was planning on Obliviating her to where she only remembers up to the first trip she made into Diagon Alley."

"Shit." Charlie swore, heading for the door. He entered the main hanger of this building and hurried to the others, just as Bill appeared. Bill had left, to request a favour from the goblins.

"What did Prissy Percy tell you?" Hermione asked.

"Oh he sang like a bird." Charlie said. "He said they've taken her back to headquarters. They're planning on Obliviating her, up to her first trip to Diagon Alley."

"What does that mean?" Ironhide asked.

"It means they're going to wipe her memory. She won't remember anything after her eleventh birthday." Hermione said. "We have to get to her!"

"Then it's a good thing that the goblins decided to give me what I asked for." Bill asked, holding up a large bag, stilling the Autobots from doing anything, wondering what he had. "In the bag, there are portkey's, one for each of us, and each of them with enough power to transport an Autobot. When we get to the veil room, we activate the portkey's and they'll take us to a secured location, where we can plan accordingly."

"Good." Optimus said. "Let's go."

Bill handed out portkey's and the others started casting spells on themselves and the Autobots. Just before they all disappeared to the world where magic existed, Ironhide saw four N.E.S.T operatives leading away Percy and Moody, to a prison somewhere in the states. "Man, they are going to love you in the showers." One of them said to Percy. Then, the Autobots, wizards and witches, Sam, Mikayla, Lennox and Epps were pulled to another universe.
