...A new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.
Professor Albus Percival Brian Wulfric Dumbledore, Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederate. Of Wizards, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sat quietly in his office in one of the many towers at afore mentioned school. A window behind him provided a splendid view down over the grounds of the School and it was quite a sight in the sunset of a summer eve. The great lake glittered like liquid gold and the many hues of green that was the Forbidden Forest swayed gently in the evening breeze. His phoenix, Fawkes, chirped in warning at the approaching professor and he looked up with a smile through his half moon glasses at his fellow staff member, Cybil Trelawney, Teacher of Divination.
"Ahh Cybil, please take a seat, Lemon Drop?" he smiled warmly at her as he offered a small box of the sour yellow treats he favoured so highly, which she declined politely. After adjusting his long silver beard he began "Now to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"Well Professor it's about the crystal balls in the divination tower, before the summer holidays began the students were complaining about seeing nothing but a white mist and even though I assured them-" She paused to adjust her large magnifying circular glasses and tried to tame her frizzy mass of brown hair. "-it was merely impossible as I had seen Mr. Potter's death in them only that morning and-" she paused again and took in a deep breath of air
"So you believe then that new crystal balls are in order? Perhaps I should invest in some of those new seeing stones that have been advertised reccently" Dumbledore smiled at her, softly ending her tirade.
"Oh please professor Dumbledore, the crystal balls will be..." her voice trailed off as her eyes, amplified behind her massive glasses glazed over and became misty as she began to speak in a disembodied voice
" The ones that faced down his dark servants not a month ago will once again be called upon to fight alongside the fallen stars to stop the Rise of The Fallen and our destruction by the hands of The Fallen and the Dark Lord for if they combine an age of Darkness will rise and Humanity will fall..Perhaps, forever"
Dumbledore's eyes widened in alarm as he realised the woman was seeing much more than just a symptom of a vivid imagination.
With a shake of her head Cybil Trelawney's eyes refocused and she gave Dumbledore a confused look. "Where was I? Oh yes, the crystal balls will suffice professor but if you are willing...The seeing stones would be beneficial. Well I must be off, Mars was giving off strange energy this morning and I believe Jupiter is to blame...I wonder...." with that she rose with the clinking and clacking of many beads and let herself out, leaving a stunned Dumbledore alone in his office, no longer interested in the evening view.
Regaining his composure he quickly turned to the picture hanging beside his desk. "I need you to get Minerva McGonagall in here immediately!"
"Please and thank you wouldn't hurt Dumbledore and I have a name you know!"
"I DONT CARE! I need her in here five minutes ago, now find her!" His darkened as he growled at the man in the portrait, only returning to his seat once the man was gone. Pulling out a sheet of parchment he dipped his quill in an inkwell and scratched out a letter before pulling a length of ribbon from a draw in his desk and walking over to where his phoenix rested on a stand.
"Fawkes listen very closely, I need you to get this to The Burrow, The Weasley home as soon as you can as it is of upmost importance, do you understand?"
The faithful red bird cocked its head as if asking the professor why he held such doubt in his ability before nodding and with a loud cry flew gracefully out the window, appearing to burst into flame as he flew into the golden sunset.
"she's here" was the only warning Dumbledore received as the door to his office burst open to allow entry to a haughty looking elderly professor, her eyes portraying worry and years of wisdom on her straight face.
"I came as soon as I could Albus, what is it?"
"Its Cybil"
"But what has she done now, have the parents started complaining about her death predictions again?"
"She made another one, a real one, here tonight"
"Impossible, but how is ..who is concerned?" although she suspected she already knew, Minerva McGonagall had to hear the words come from her old friend's mouth before she could believe it were true.
"Harry Potter and his friends, mainly Mr. Weasely, Mr. Longbottom, Ms. Granger, Weasely, Lovegood."
"When will it happen Albus?"
"I have no idea" He sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly "But whatever or whenever it is, it will be big and we must be prepared to help them in any way we can"
"You are not seriously thinking of letting him go into this are you? Its dangerous Albus, he is just a boy, they are all just children!"
"We can't do anything to prevent it Minerva, and don't assume I don't know that, I care about them all but as we both know they are more than able to handle themselves, we just have to trust them that they realise that themselves after that...We will wait and see"
A/N: Ok so my third ever fanfic and my second crossover, hopefully I will eventually return to the first..which was a flop failure. So I have wanted to write a Harry Potter story for a while and was inspired by my muse of course, as I was watching the new Transformer's film. Now I have read a few crossovers here on the site but they aren't many in number (and few are complete stories) so I hope you, my readers, enjoy this fic set in the summer between Harry and co's fifth year and leading into the second film. Note: May contain Movie spoilers as it is movie-verse based. Who will come to Harry and the others? Will Dumbledore be able to help? Was it really Jupiter's fault?? Do Sam, Mikaela and the Autobots meet our magical heroes? What will happen when the two worlds collide??
Find out next time, In Harry Potter and The Return of The Fallen!
Midnight Out!
