Chapter 13

Halo watched from her elevated position being held by her papa as people appeared, a mix of Autobot's and humans. She only recognised one other, and that was her daddy. She had no idea why she called the two Autobots by those names; she just knew that it felt right calling them that.

One of the Autobots, the green and red one, held the old man, Dumbledore. He was unconscious.

"Ratchet, why did you bring him here?" The largest Autobot questioned.

"I don't know the extents of wizarding abilities to heal others, Optimus. They'd do anything to heal this one, and then he'll try and get Halo again. So, I brought him here to make sure that he didn't heal."

The large one, Optimus sighed. "Very well. What happened to him anyway?"

"Ironhide kicked him into a rubbish pile." Ratchet laughed, as he put the old man on a crate before approaching Ironhide and Halo. He ran a quick scan over Halo, and nodded. "Nothing more than a gash in the leg. Her memories seem to be returning on their own, but I'll scan you regularly, just to make sure you are alright." He said.

"We should probably head back to our Universe." Optimus said. "The others at Base will begin to wonder what's taking so long. Bill, you can get us back there, minutes after we left?"

"Of course." The curse breaker said, nodding.

"Good."

"Hand over your portkey's then," Another red haired wizard said. "We need to set them for the veil room."

Each of the Autobots handed over a piece of metal each, and soon had them back.

"Ironhide, I'm going to have to ask you to put Halo down so I can perform the spell on her. Best do it here, than in the Ministry where we could come under spell fire." The second red head said.

"Of course, Charlie." Ironhide said to the red head, as he placed Halo on the ground.

Charlie smiled reassuringly at her as he waved his wand over her, and muttered an incantation. As soon as he was done, he moved onto Ironhide, and Halo saw the other's in the room working on the other Autobots, so the job was quickly done.

"Now all we have to do is throw ourselves through the veil." Charlie said.

"The goblins said they'd take care of certain things that held Voldemort to this world, whatever that meant." Bill said. "They said the next time he turns up though, every shot will count."

"Tie him to this world?" A silver Autobot asked. "I thought he could travel between worlds. Like everyone else."

"Life!" A brown haired girl said, slapping her hand to her forehead. There were things stopping him from dying, that's what they're taking care of!"

Halo frowned in confusion as they talked.

"How about we solve this problem later, when Halo has her memories back?" One of the twins asked.

"Yeah, poor girl's looking confused." The other said.

Ironhide picked Halo up again. "Let's just go, I'm itching to get back to where we're supposed to be. And somewhere that's more defendable than this place."

The others quickly agreed, and Ironhide loaded one of his cannons, just in case, and activated his portkey's along with the others, Ratchet having picked up the painfully dying Dumbledore.

When they landed in the veil room, there were several Aurors waiting. Weapons and wands were immediately raised, but the stern woman with the monocle just raised her hands in a placating gesture. The man beside her reminded Halo of a lion, and he looked ready for a fight, but made no move to attack.

"We aren't here to fight you." The woman said.

"Madam Bones?" The woman with pink hair, that was helping Halo, asked.

"Auror Tonks. It's good to see you again, but it will be a shame to loose one of our best Aurors."

"Huh?"

"I know where your loyalties lay, Tonks." Madam Bones said. "And I know that you, as well as Mr Lupin here, have both had enough with the idiocies of our world. I know you're planning on not coming back through that veil if you don't have to. You'll happily stay in that other universe."

"Yes, you're right." Lupin said.

"That's exactly what we're planning." Tonks agreed.

"We're just here to give you the time you need. If anyone comes, and tries to stop you all getting though, we'll watch your backs."

"But why?" Tonks asked.

"Because it's about bloody time our people learned to think for themselves and get off their own lazy arses instead of hoping for a child to save them." The lion-like man said. "And that's exactly what Miss Potter is. A child. She's gone through more than most adults have. All of us here agree that it's time for her to have her own life, and for the rest of us to take up the fight, like we should have from the start."

Halo was surprised. They were trying to help her?

"Madam Bones! Head Auror Scrimigor, the Minister is sending down a team of Aurors now. They know they've arrived." A man said, approaching.

"Go, now, we'll cover your backs, if it comes to it, and if not, tell them you had gone before we got here, go." Madam Bones said.

"Thank you." Optimus said to her and Scrimigor.

"No problem." Madam Bones said.

"You'd best go now." Scrimigor said.

Optimus gestured to Ironhide, who stepped through the Veil with Halo, and Halo felt a sensation of nothingness wash over her. It was extremely cold, and dark, and she couldn't feel Ironhide holding her, just the cold. Just as she was about to panic, the cold abated, and the sensations of feeling, hearing and sight appeared again, relieving her.

She looked round to see that she was in a large hanger, and saw men in military uniforms hurrying round, performing tasks. Out side, she saw a car driving off, and one of the passengers looked like he could be related to Bill, Charlie and the twins.

Soon, the others were all appearing too, and as each one appeared it seemed as if the air tore around them, before sealing back up.

"Anything happen?" Ironhide asked.

"The other Aurors turned up, just as you stepped through the veil." Optimus said. "But the others stopped them from advancing, as promised, giving us time to step through."

"Oh I hope they'll be alright." Tonks said. "Madam Bones and Scrimigor are good people."

"I'm sure they will be fine." Lupin said, assuring her. "You know that the both of them are brilliant with a wand in their hand, and are still good without one. I'm sure they'll get out alright. They didn't get their positions on bribes, but skills."

Tonks nodded. "You're right, of course." She said. "You always are."

"There's a reason James and Sirius called me the brains of the Marauders." He said, smiling.

"What now?" Halo asked.

"Now, we wait for your memories to come back, and for you to get them all in order, and we'll take it from there." Optimus said.

Ratchet scanned her again. "Your memories should all come back over night, by the rate the blocks seem to be coming down at. Then all you'll have to do is sort through them, and get them in order."

"It's that simple?" Halo asked.

"Halo, no offence, but nothing with you is that simple." The handsome blonde haired, aristocratic boy around her age said.

"Maybe she'll be lucky this time, Draco." The dark haired boy said.

Halo got the feeling that the blonde was right.
