And here is the last chapter. Sorry it took so long.

Finding Mike turned out to be a lot harder than the five animatronics and Harry had expected. Their friend had to live somewhere near the pizzeria since he didn't use a car to reach his former workplace. They had hoped that they would find him in a few days, a week at most.

It had been at least a month.

They all had learned a lot during their time on the streets. Freddy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy had to wear big cloaks most of the time or hide so they wouldn't be recognized. Puppet had it a bit better since he wasn't one of the mascots but he also couldn't walk around in the open. They had actually managed to get some special paints for his suit. His fur was now mainly black with white on his belly, arms and feet.

Most of their time outside had been spent away from the big streets, stealing food from time to time and looking for Mike. Well, at least until they had to leave the city because of weird people in dresses looking for Harry. These people had asked around and after a while even camped near the spots where Harry usually was when he was around people, like the market.

So, one day when Harry had almost been caught - luckily he was able to hide in the crowd - the six friends sneaked onto a train and travelled north. Since they no longer could look for Mike, they focused on evading the people after Harry.

"What do you mean you haven't been able to bring him back?"

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore didn't know what to do. Three weeks ago the wards around Privet Drive had fallen, which usually meant one of two things: that the center of the ward, Harry, had been killed or that Harry no longer called it his home and had left.

Both cases were bad but Dumbledore wished for the latter. Running away wasn't done without a reason and Minerva had warned him about Lily's sister but he had hoped that Harry would be treated as another member of the family. If he had run away it meant his involuntary gamble had failed. But at least the boy would still be alive.

He had failed the boy. And he intended to pay for his mistake.

"Why won't they leave us alone?"

The almost inaudible question coming fromt he bundle in Foxy's arms brought a sigh out of Freddy as he watched the entrance of the abandoned building they were currently hiding in. Bonnie and Chica looked over from the windows they were watching, almost hidden in the shadows of the walls.

They had almost been caught.

A few hours ago they had been hiding near the train station, waiting for the next train, when the guys in dresses had appeared yet again. It had been a narrow escape, with the bad guys nearly upon them, when they finally managed to sneak out through the back. The next half hour consisted of running thorugh nearly indistinguishable backalleys until they arrived at this abandoned house at the edge of town.

"I don't know." Freddy looked at Harry. "We could never figure out why adults do what they do. Maybe-"

Suddenly there was a timid knock on the door. The six friends froze.

Had they been found again? But the guys in dresses would have stormed in, right? Why knocking? Would they have to run a-

"Hello? Mr. Easter Bunny?"

It was a child's voice.

Freddy frowned and looked over to Bonnie who was the one closest to the door. The blue bunny opened the door a tiny bit and looked through the gap. A small boy around the age of five with big blue eyes was staring at him with a huge smile.

"Mr. Easter Bunny!"

"Prft!"

The soft snort from Foxy quickly turned into resounding laughter. Then Harry started to giggle and soon Freddy's deep chuckling joined the sudden joyful atmosphere. Chica just smiled happily and maybe even a bit teasingly at the somehow blushing animatronic. Bonnie stepped away from the door and opened it fully to let the little boy inside.

The boy instantly hugged him around the legs and refused to let go.

"I knew you were real! I knew Tony was lying! You had to be real!"

Bonnie looked rather uncomfortable as he looked at the child wrapped around his legs which only made his companions laugh even more.

"Are these your friends, Mr. Easter Bunny? Mr. Bear and Mr. Fox and Mrs. Fox and Mr. Duck?" Now even Bonnie had to smile. Chica's enraged "I'm a CHICKEN! And I'm NOT a GUY!" was lost in the cheerful moment.

"Chica, this can't be the first time people mistake you for a duck. And seriously, you don't look very..girly.." Harry's blunt statement only served to enrage the animatronic chicken more and she promptly went to sit as far away from the others as the could. The small boy, still holding onto Bonnie, looked over to the bundle in Foxy's arm.

"Who are you?"

Harry wriggled out of Foxy's arms and went over to Bonnie and his new admirer. "Hi, I'm Harry. Who are you?"

The child let go of the big bunny still smiling as he turned to the older boy. "I'm Davie!"

A growl filled the air before the animatronics could introduce themselves. Harry blushed.

"Are you hungry? Mom said you should eat when you are or wait for when she's done cooking. But lunch is already over. Do you want a chocolate bar?"

Harry had no idea what the boy was talkig about but gratefully took the sllghtly squished treat which Dave was holding out for him.

"Thanks."

Freddy stepped over to the two boys. "Davie? Could you tell me how you found us?"

"Mr. Easter Bunny was at the window and I wanted to say hello! I never saw-"

"Davie? Davie, sweetie, where are you?"

The boy tackled Bonnie with another hug around the legs, rambling something about "Byebye Mr. Easter Bunny and friends" and that he would always believe in him and was out of the door before they could blink. Screams of "Mommy!" and "Easter Bunny" echoing though the street were quickly interrupted by the worried voice of a woman.

"Well, that was...interesting." Freddy summed up the situation. "Right, Mr. Easter Bunny?"

Bonnie growled.

"I'm never going to live this down."

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Freddy asked Chica as they were hiding behind a bush.

"It has to work. We can't go back to the train station, those guys will probably still be there. And the boy will tell anyone he found the easter bunny-" Queue another growl from Bonnie "-so it wasn't safe to stay any longer. I watched this spot from the window and every train which passes has to wait a few minutes so they can change the rails. We can get on then."

The clear sound of the church bell told them that it was time. The train would leave the station any moment.

They could only hope that Chica was right.

A short time later they found themselves in a railway waggon, hidden between some rather soft carpets. Harry was in Freddy's lap for a change while Foxy moved around a few carpets to make it more comfortable. The boy was almost asleep but still awake enough to comment on their situation.
"We are going north. That's good. We have to go north."

Foxy looked up from a rather gaudy red carpet when the murmur reached his ears.

"I'm not even going to ask how the lad knows we are going north."

"Bye, Harry!" A girl shouted over the playground as she followed her grandparents home.

The group had left the train at the next station since they had needed some food for Harry. The chocolate bar he had gotten from the boy had not been much and he had been hungry yet again. He had stolen some food from one of the many food vendors you could find around the city and was just leaving the main street to get back to his friends when he ran into her. The girl was his age and a bit taller than him and promptly decided that he would be her friend. The girl, Jessica, had told him that she lived with her grandparents since her parents were always at work. There weren't many families with children near her home and the few around were either a lot younger or much older which left her with no one to play with.

They had run around a bit and then the girl had invited him to come home with her. He wasn't sure what to do but Jessica just pulled him over to her door.

What followed was the best meal Harry ever had and a day full of playing and fun. When it was getting late Jessica's grandma had asked him where he lived so that they could bring him home.

Luckily he was able to persuade her that he was going to be picked up soon. As soon as they were out of sight Harry raced back to his animatronic friends.

They had been worried sick. They couldn't enter the main streets during the day so when Harry had not come back they had feared the worst. They had decided to 'screw it' and go looking for him anyway when Harry had appeared in the doorway of the backroom of an old shop they were currently hiding in.

They were getting ready to scold him for his disappearance, he was getting ready to appologize when the deep voice of a man sounded from behind the boy.

"Harry..."

They had finally found him. After all this time they had found him. Remus was increibly relieved.

The order had been after him for more than a month now. When the news that Harry was nowhere to be found reached the werewolf's ears he was one of the first to volunteer for the search. And what a search it was!

They still were not sure how Harry had managed to get across half of Britain without anyone realizing. Of course the wizards had tracked him but every time they found him he would slip away and appear in another town further north. There had been words about him having some kind of weird creatures with him but Remus didn't believe them. He never smelled others around him, only fake fur and metal.

So when something that didn't even smell alive grabbed Harry and almost ran him over as it fled through the door he didn't know what to do except follow. There were five of them and they all resembled some kind of animal, even if Remus wasn't sure if the last one was a duck or a chicken. He called over the other members of the order who had been hiding so they wouldn't scare Harry - and really, Moody could scare anyone even on a bad day - and chased after them.

They finally cornered the strange creatures in a dead-end alley. Quickly, they got into postition and threw a few silencing spells around too keep their opponents from drawing attention to them. The red fox-like one was holding Harry to his chest with one arm, snarling as he threatened them with his hook. The others were standing in front of them, keeping the wizards from reaching the child. Two wizards threw a few stunners at the bear but it just shrugged them off. Moody growled something about 'amateurs' and threw an incarcerous at the creature. In seconds the bear was bound much to the shock of his companions.

"Freddy..."

The other five wizards copied the ex-auror and soon all creatures were bound.

"Chica, Bonnie, Puppet..."

Harry was sitting beside the red fox, staring at the rope with wide eyes. The fox had thrown him aside when the ropes came for him, keeping him from getting entangled in them.

"Foxy..."

Remus went over to the small boy leaning down to pick him up and take him away from these creatures. The boy backed away form him, obviously scared.

It broke the werewolves heart to see his best friends son like this. He slowly sat crouched down and held a hand out to the boy.

"Hey Harry, are you alright? Don't worry, we are here to bring you to safety."

Frightened green eyes looked over the group of wizards and returned to the creatures on the ground.

"We were worried about you. The Dursleys-"

"No!" The boy scooted back, hitting the wall behind him to get as far away from Remus as he could.

"Harry?"

"No!"

"What are-"

"I'm not going back!"

The shock of the explosion caused by accidential magic threw the wizards all out of the alley against the wall of a brick house. As they teetered on the ede of unconciousness Remus lifted his head to look for Harry.

The alley was empty.

"...so, the animatronics moved at night?" Steve asked for the umptieth time as he speared another piece of steak on his fork. Mike's spoon stopped halfway to his mouth. He looked at his friend and slowly nodded.

"I don't believe an inanimate piece of machinary could move on its own!"

Steve violently gestured with his right hand, promptly loosing the aforementioned piece of meat. Mike followed its trajectory until it landed on the floor with a wet splat.

"But they did. I wouldn't say they were alive but - they were alive! Anyway, as I told you before, I don't really know what happened, what made them this way, what made them move on their own. Before I could ask them I got sacked." He sighed. "I wonder what they are doing.

I wonder what Harry is doing."

Suddenly there was a strange tinkling sound coming from above him. Mike looked up and saw two distinct metal feet dropping towards him.

"Oof!"

Just as Foxy landed on his chest another tinkling sounded. Blue fake fur filled his vision as Bonnie dropped on top of Foxy.

The next sound was overshadowed by the creaking of Mike's chair and as Puppet joined the furry catastophy the poor piece of furniture gave up and collapsed. A second later Chica landed on the table, narrowly missing Steve's steak. The table started to groan as Freddy crashed next to Chika on the other side of Steve's meal.

Steve stared at the carnage just as Harry neatly fell on top of his plate and buried his steak.

Slightly spattered with gravy Steve continued to stare, his mind on the verge of shutdown as Harry picked himself up.

"Ow. That hurt!"

Mike's voice came from the floor. "Guys, please get off me. I'm happy to see you, but- please!"

Steve's fork hit the ground as his mind finally decided that it was time for a break.

The first thing Steve noticed was an acrid smell as somebody tried to revive him with smelling salts. He sputtered and opened his eyes. Huge pink eyes in a yellow face looked down at him and a large beak opened. "Are you ok?"

Emiting a startled yelp he started backpedaling until he bumped into the wall. He could see Mike with a child in his arm standing behind the big yellow thing with a small uncorked vial in its hand.

"I think he is ok, Chica. And Steve ... I told you so."

The child started giggling as Steve rubbed the back of his head.

"What..happened?"

Mike haltinly explained.

"Well, you remember the animatronics I told you about? Erm.. Well, they're here. Erm... With him." He pointed at the boy.

The child waved.

"Hi!"

Steve slowly stood up. "What exactally are they doing here?"

"They're here."

"And why?"

"Well, I don't know how they got here, but erm... they might... needaplacetostay?"

A flabberghasted Steve looked from Mike, to the boy, to the animatronics and back, his mind racing.

'He must be out of his mind. There is now way...

...but he seems to trust them. And the boy...

...and those things seem... devoted to the boy...

...I can't turn them loose...'

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"Can they work at the farm?"

Alternate Ending

"What..happened?"

Suddenly, Mike pulled a gun from somewhere and with a crazy grin pointed it at his own head.

"WELL, STEVE..."

Well, here is the last real chapter. I might write some short stories about the animatronic meeting, for example, Dumbledore but I can't promise I will.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this story.
