Star Wars/Harry Potter Crossover “A New World, New Adventures”
Summary
Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala have been happily married for nearly five years and spending their time with their beautiful twins, Luke and Leia. They always knew they were special, just like their father in the force but that’s all about to change when one day, Luke and Leia receive letters inviting to the study and further enhance their magical powers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, although Luke and Leia are excited to be thrusted into a new world of spells and new lessons, Anakin and Padme are sceptical as an old friend once told them, that dark times still lie ahead and that Luke and Leia will be thrown into the midst of it. How will Anakin and Padme protect their twins in their new world?
Chapter 1 The soft rays of the white round sun shone through the huge, glass windows of Anakin and Padme’s bedroom, waking a sleeping Padme up, her husband’s arm draped across her waist as another held her right hand so softly but firm. After a few minutes of just staring at his sleeping form, his bright, blue eyes snapped open and rested on her soft face, “Good morning sweetie” she whispered as he smiled back, “Did you have a nice night?” he asked, “Of course” she replied, giggling as he pulled her on top of him, her soft, brown eyes stared into his and she shared a luscious kiss on his sweet lips before a sharp disturbance snapped them back into their real reality.
“Like anything would be addressed to you, Luke!” shouted Leia, from across the living room, waving a cream coloured envelope in her hand, “The messenger dropped it off for me so it must be for me!” Luke shouted back as Leia just laughed, “It was obviously a mistake. Did you not see who the messenger was? Not even from around here!” she argued as Luke snapped back, “Still you have no right going after my stuff!’ he told her, starting to climb over the lounge, nearly able to reach the envelope when it just flew out of Leia’s hand, as if it was pulled by an invisible string and Luke and Leia turned to see who had done it, knowing that they had woken up their parents.
“How many times have I told you not to start fights at this hour?” Anakin asked, seeing Luke and Leia lower their heads in humiliation of being caught, he looked at the envelope in his hand, “What’s this all about anyway?” he added as Luke piped up, “This messenger stop by and dropped off this letter for me and Leia wouldn’t hand it over” he informed him as Padme noticed another envelope near the edge of the lounge, “I think there is one for each of you” she pointed as Anakin looked at his, “This is for Luke” he spoke up, sending it back to his son, before moving over to where he stood as Padme stood with Leia, who were eager to see who had written to them. Luke was the first to open his letter, and he certainly wasn’t prepared for what he was about to read:
“Dear Mr Skywalker, We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1st September. We await your response by no later than 31st July
Yours sincerely, Headmaster of Hogwarts
Anakin looked over at Padme, curiously, after both had finished reading the letters, “Hogwarts?” Padme asked innocently as Leia and Luke looked up at their parents, “Is it some kind of special additional Jedi schooling?” Leia asked as Anakin laughed, “It can’t be because I’ve never heard of it” he answered her as Luke reread the letter again, “It says witchcraft and wizardry. I think it’s something different” he spoke up as Anakin moved over to the phone, “I’m contracting Obi Wan. He should be able to help us. I hope” he informed them, dialing Obi Wan’s number at the Temple while Padme, Leia and Luke all looked eagerly over his shoulder as a tired, looking figure of Obi wan came into focus, “Anakin, this better be important to call me at this hour. Is one of the twins missing?” he asked as Anakin coldly looked at him, “No time for joking master. I need to ask you something” he replied, “What’s wrong?” he asked as Anakin took a long, deep breath before speaking again, “Obi Wan, have you heard of place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?” he asked as Obi Wan just stared blankly, “I have no idea what you are talking about. Why you ask?” he asked, as Anakin quickly explained about Luke and Leia’s letters, making Obi wan really think, “This is a tricky one, although I have a lot about this new place, which is inaccessible to us only by invite” he informed him as Padme spoke up, “What do they want with our children?” she asked, “Only good things. They must have more than just Jedi tricks in them” he suggested, “let me know if you find out anything else” he told him, shutting off as Anakin leaned back, his family looking down at him, he suddenly very uncomfortable with six pair of eyes looking at him, “I think the only way to find out if this place truly exist, is to reply back with our answer” he sighed.
“The letters were received by everyone on the list we have retrieved from the school” the cold voice asked the smaller figure who had entered the room, “Yes, master” they spoke, in an utter whisper, “And using our links to spy on the school, we have our first reply” they went on as the figure slowly turned his head slight, “Oh, who is it?” they asked, “Luke and Leia Skywalker” they answered as the figure formed a slight, curvy smile, “Excellent, it seems that Anakin Skywalker is keen on unleashing his children into a new world without any protection. This will be easier than I thought” he laughed.
“Anakin, I don’t feel comfortable sending Luke and Leia away like this, especially to a place, we know nothing about” Padme told him, his arms slipped around her thin waist and his head nuzzled in her thick, glossy hair as she smiled, running her fingers through his strong fingers, “I’m not letting them go without protection. I’m going with them, to watch over them” he informed her as he went on, “Qui Gon’s warning keeps coming back to me about dark times, how they could threatened Luke and Leia” he told her as she smiled, leaning her head back, “Oh Anakin, I knew you would make me feel safe but I am coming with you” she told him as Anakin stared, “No, it will be too risky” he instructed her, “If the council can have you in filiate the school, then I am going along too” she told him, twisting around, so that her dark, brown eyes pierced through his blue eyes, telling him it was no use arguing because he would never get the last say.
[How was this for a new crossover? Let me know! I love both movies and am willing to write more, if this is well received, enjoy this sneak peek!]

Chapter 2
Leia and Luke could not be more excited, they knew from a very young age they were gifted like their father but to be gifted with magic in their blood excited them more although their parents were pleased, Luke and Leia noticed that their parents must have been hiding their true feelings on the news, starting by how Anakin and Padme spent all day on the veranda with their close friend Obi Wan Kenobi, discussing the morning news and to Luke and Leia’s horror-talk of even travelling with them to Hogwarts!
“Hogwarts. I’ve never heard of this place in my whole life. This news is all new to me” Obi Wan kept saying to his friends, “You also mentioned this morning that you had heard rumours about a new school opening up” Anakin reminded him, as Obi Wan waved a hand around, “Yes, I did but I probably need to do some more because it wasn’t enough information to fully say what is going on” he replied before asking, “So what are you going to be doing about this?” as Anakin cleared his throat, “I was going to ask the council to allow me to go undercover as a teacher at the school so I can watch over Luke and Leia” he answered him as Padme spoke up, “I am going to. I’m not letting anything happened to my husband or children without me” holding her strong brown eyed gaze with Obi Wan, “I can see if the council will grant you the request, apparently they have access to the Headmaster, if rumours are true” he informed them as Padme gasped Anakin’s hand tightly, “How will Luke and Leia take this news if we cannot tell the real truth behind all this?” she asked as Anakin wrapped an arm around her small waist, “When the time is right, we will tell them but for now, we need to be happy for them and their adventure” he smiled down at her as Obi Wan gave one final warning, “If Qui Gon’s warning is true, we all need to be one a lot. The children of the Chosen One will need to arrive in secret” he reminded them before heading out back to the Temple.
Luke and Leia were so confused by what they had tried to hear, warnings?, time is right?, the truth? What was going on? They wondered as they quickly moved back into the kitchen upon hearing their parent’s footsteps, “When can we go and purchase our supplies?” Leia asked innocently as Anakin looked over at Padme, who just smiled, “I think we could go today. It will be nice to something together as a family for today” she answered as Leia and Luke beamed with excitement, running into the directions of their rooms as Anakin looked confused at Padme, “How are we going to get these things?” he asked, after scanning the list, “By following the map here to the location” she replied, heading off to their bedroom to change into a more casual outfit for their outing.
Anakin watched her slowly move into their bedroom as he suddenly sensed a disturbance around the living room, then a soft, dark voice whispered through the air, “Dark times are approaching. The son and daughter of the Chosen One will come face to face with the one who targets them. As long as they are at Hogwarts, they will be safe” the voice echoed as Anakin felt a chill run down his long, spine. What was that? He wondered, who could probably be targeting them, Palpatine/Sidious was long dead, he remembered killing him with his cyan blue lightsaber and any other followers were striked down afterwards. Anakin had a strong feeling the answer would be found at Hogwarts.
1 hour later, as the Courscant sun burned brightly in the pale blue sky, Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia were heading to the furtherest point of Courscant, well away from the Senate, Jedi Temple and other well know places, “Are you sure the map says it’s here?” Anakin asked, “Yes, there’s a secret entrance leading to a place called Diagon Alley” she replied as the speeder was brought to a grinding halt, making sure they weren’t followed, they headed into the small, dusty, old building where Anakin followed the instruction on the parchment before the wall in front of them began to cave in then break away.
Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia’s eyes gasped in astonishment, a stoned pathway straight down the middle, lined with shops with all kinds of strange equipment, huge crowds emerged in and out of the stores, gasping with shock as the family moved past, Anakin picking up whispers of the conversations, “It’s them. Luke and Leia Skywalker” “The Chosen one’s children” , young women staring at Anakin, blushing as he passed, “It’s seems like we’re well known here” Anakin whispered to Padme who placed her arms through his, “It does seem strange being stared at” she replied, reaching a larger buildings, which read “Gringotts: The Wizards Bank” they headed inside to exchange money.
After spending another hour, going deep into the bank vaults, they emerged with two sacks of money, “I’ll take Luke to search for his supplies and you take Leia” Anakin instructed, “Trust no one” he warned her, as she planted a soft, sweet kiss on his lips, “I know, have fun” she smiled, moving off with Leia before Luke and Anakin headed in the direction of the dress makers for new unitforms. Anakin stood in the smaller waiting room as Luke was motioned into the fitting rooms where a young boy, about his age, being fitted for robes, couldn’t help but smirk, “Never thought I would see you here” he smirked as Luke looked confused, “What are you talking about?” he asked, “Well, if the whispers are true, you’re Luke Skywalker” he informed him as Luke remained silent, “Was that your dad out there?” he asked as Luke silently nodded, “My father was annoyed at this. Having you come to Hogwarts, even saying how you won’t last a week” he smudged, as Luke looked blank, “How do you me?” he asked, “It’s the prophecy which I think is wrong” he replied as Luke was about to answer when the dress maker informed him they were finished and he moved to exit the fitting room, where he saw his father arguing with a man, who looked an older version of the boy he had just met, “I’d watch my step if I were you and your children” the man hissed, seeing Luke move next to Anakin, “Judging by your son’s appearance. I’d say there’s a lot to be proved right” he hissed as Anakin stared coldly, “Whatever you said before about my son, I would reconsider because he will prove you wrong” he replied, leaving the store with Luke.
Padme and Leia wandered the street, excitedly looking through the shop windows, having seen nothing like this, they were so excited to see all this, entering the animal store, “Leia, what animal would you like to have as a pet?” Padme asked sweetly as Leia browsed the cages, “I don’t know. This is so new to me, where can I start?” she asked her mother, both aware of the prowling eyes of the other customers watching them closely, making their time in the store, very uncomfortable. Leia edged over to an area of the store, where caged animals named “Cats” were, some were so fluffy and cute, Leia knew that if she had to have an animal with her, she would want one of these creatures. Distracted with looking at a beautiful greyish white cat, she did not see another young girl about her age move next to her, “They’re interesting animals aren’t they?” she asked as Leia raised her head, in politeness as she had been taught, “I’ve never heard of them before and they are so interesting” she replied, seeing the girl gasp, “You’re Leia Skywalker!” she exclaimed, lowering her voice, “I had heard rumours you were here. Where is the rest of your family?” she asked as Leia looked back at her mother, “That’s my mother, Chancellor Padme Amidala Skywalker” she proudly, “My father is off elsewhere with my brother” she went on as the girl gasped in amazement, “I can’t believe I am talking to you. I hope to see you around” she smiled, running back to her parents just as Padme was coming over, “You met a new friend that’s nice. So have you decided?” she asked as Leia switched back, “This one” she pointed to, meaning the greyish white cat she was playing with before, smiling, her mother picked up it’s cage and carried it over, noticing the big grin across Leia’s face.
The day had gotten long; buying nearly everything on the list-Luke had ended up with a stunning, sweet, light brown owl with big, yellow eyes. Anakin and Padme lead Luke and Leia with their equipment back to the exit, home to Courscant, this day strange enough all ready. The buildings, the products and the stares, Anakin was still thinking about his conversation with the man in the robe shop-it was like he was someone to watch out for-one of the dangers that could put Luke and Leia in trouble. Anakin shook his head away from these thoughts.
The days were slowly creeping up to when Luke and Leia would be leaving, unknown to them, their parents would be secretly leaving straight after them. Thanks to the Jedi Council allowing Anakin to enter into Hogwarts as a new teacher and Padme had given her position temporary over to her good and old friend Bail Organa so she could enter Hogwarts under the position of a new administer-working with the headmaster most of the time. They would be keeping close with Obi Wan of any disturbances to be alert for. Hopefully, their planned disguises will fool everyone apart from the headmaster.
“Sir, something new has occurred” a voice cut through the dark room which was only lit by the orange, flicking fireplace in the room, “What is it?” the voice hissed in anger, making the other figure shudder in his footsteps, “Our spy informs that Leia and Luke Skywalker aren’t the only Skywalker going to Hogwarts this year” he went on as the figure sitting by the fireplace, raised his eyebrow in the dark, “Oh, who else?” he asked intrigued more, “Their parents Anakin and Padme Skywalker, under disguise” he answered as the figure slowly raised his head more, “Well, then this might be easier than expected” he laughed.
Things just keep getting darker and darker, huh? Who is this spy who knows about the secret entrance of Anakin and Padme? Who is this mysterious dark enemy? Did Anakin’s conversation with the stranger in the store saying what will happen? Can Luke and Leia have a new adventure with their lives being threatened? You’ll have to keep guessing for more!]

Chapter 3
The days were slowly creeping by and the Skywalker household was abuzz with excitement and noise the day before the twins were due to board the Hogwarts Express. Anakin and Padme still had their disguises to work on and Anakin received some news about his ‘new position’ which left him thinking that this was starting to feel like a bad idea after all.
Anakin strolled quickly through the carpet hallways of their apartment, his heavy, black boots hardly leaving the floor, he needed to talk about this with Padme: how can he teach Defence Against the Dark Arts? He didn’t even know where to start so maybe Padme could help him talk to the headmaster about swapping subjects. Entering the bedroom, he found Padme adjusting different hairstyles, from long, blond, golden locks to a short, red haired do, but no matter the colour she still looked beautiful, giving a sharp, clear of his throat, she jumped, turning around, “Anakin, what’s wrong?” she asked, seeing his sharp, serious expression on his face as he waved the parchment around in the air, “I just received this message saying what my classes are and I have to say that this is ridiculous!” he exclaimed as she stared confusingly at him, “I don’t understand” she told him as he sighed, “They have asked me to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts and the problem is, I have no idea what that is” he confessed as Padme softly laughed, “oh Ani” she giggled, moving over to him and wrapping her long, skinny arms around his strong waist, “You are so cute. I’m sure they know that but they will teach you” she assured him as he lifted her chin so he could look into her soft, brown eyes, “I hope you’re right” he told her as she smiled, “I know I am. Now we should get ready, it’s Luke and Leia’s last night with us for a while and I promise them we would take them out for dinner” she informed him, moving over to change into a more formal outfit. Once they were ready, they moved out into the living room, where the disturbance of a loud racket alerts them to trouble.
“I’m warning you Leia, the cat is after my owl!” Luke shouted back, he had been sitting out in the living room, waiting for his parents, playing with his owl when Leia joined him, with her, in her words, lovely cat, “Oh Luke, come be reasonable. Why would she be after your stupid bird?” she asked, cuddling her soft, friendly cat in her arms, “Did you see how she eyed him off when she entered?” he asked as Leia laughed, “She has better things to chase after than your owl” she corrected him as another, sharp voice entered the room, “Those pets should be in their cages not wandering about when we are about to leave” Anakin pointed out as Leia and Luke spun around, “Sorry dad, we just wanted to play with them” Luke spoke up as Anakin raised his eyebrow suspiciously, “Well, until tomorrow, keep them in their cages then you can let them wander your rooms at school” he assured them, before ordering them to return their animals to their respected cages then joining their parents in the speeder and heading off.
“Tomorrow, the students return to Hogwarts, my lord” the voice spoke into the darkness as he heard a soft laugh, “Then our plans will unfold. Has our spy entered into his position at the school?” he asked, “Yes, he has and is respectfully willing to keep an eye on all Skywalkers at the school” he assured him as the dark figure put his thin, bony fingers together, a low clicking could be heard echoing throughout the room, “Excellent, a bonus. Soon Anakin Skywalker will be dead and his children will be mine, as they will be tempted to avenge their father’s tragic death” he laughed as the smaller figure stared into the darkness, listening to the clicking of his fingers. The bright, dazzling lights of Courscant filled the traffic lanes as Anakin piloted his speeder just outside Dexter’s Diner and turning to escort out his beautiful, loving wife, dressed in an simple, elegant, long white sparkling dress with matching heels as Luke and Leia ran on ahead, they loved going to Dexter’s for meals, always loving how he treated them like family. “Anakin! Padme! Good to see you again” boomed Dexter’s great friendly voice, “Another night out with the family?” he asked as Anakin smiled, “The last one for a long time I think” he replied as Dexter laughed, “Well, then I suppose that calls for big specials off the menu” he announced as Luke and Leia piped up excitedly, “Thanks, Dex!” they chimed, “Anything for my personal customers” he laughed before moving back into the kitchen while his waitress escorted them over to a cushy booth, before beautiful, lovely, delicious meals were layed before them.
After another hour of filling, delicious foods, Luke and Leia were full, but that didn’t stop them from talking about food, “I wonder what foods we’ll eat at Hogwarts?” Luke asked as Leia rubbed her stomach, “I hope they’re not too filling, like tonight’s” she replied as Anakin laughed, “Only eat what you want, don’t stuff your faces til you’re sick” he warned them as they looked serious, “Yes, dad” they promised as Padme laughed, “He’s telling the truth. You wouldn’t want to be sick for your first class” she smirked over at Anakin, without him knowing she had helped planned the timetables and Luke and Leia’s first class was Anakin’s class which would be fun to watch, she thought, watching as Anakin manoeuvred the remaining bits of food around the air, which made Luke and Leia’s eyes grow wider as more and more food was added to the circle, “Can you teach us how to do that?” Luke asked as Anakin smiled, “In time, and you might have tricks to teach me” he told them as they giggled, “I guess we could” they smirked together before Padme broke up the fun, “I think we should get heading home, an early start tomorrow. For all of us” she told them, glaring over at Anakin, knowing he would be the one to disrupt the routine before Anakin stood up and escorted Padme, Luke and Leia out of the diner, with a friendly thankyou and goodbye to Dex and into the speeder, an excited Luke and Leia, putting to rest any tiredness they had, in exchange for loud talkative conversations and games amongst each other, all the way back to their apartment, Anakin wishing he could find a way to use his force mind tricks into putting his twins to sleep but Padme knew how to handle them, “let’s go straight upstairs and ready ourselves for bed or you won’t be seeing your new school tomorrow” she warned as Luke and Leia sped up the stairs, at force sped, they were eager to explore their new school so they took her warning seriously as Anakin smiled, “That’s the way to do it I guess” he commented, pulling his wife into his strong embrace, sharing a passionate kiss, making her blush, “It’s what I do. Now we need to sort out our disguises so we can quickly change right after they leave” she told him, pulling him towards their bedroom.
Luke and Leia remained in their rooms but could not sleep, too excited about tomorrow although Luke was still thinking about the conversation he had with the boy in the dressing room, What did he mean? What prophecy? Why would he be against it? It all didn’t make sense , deciding to ask Leia about his conversation, leaning slightly out of his bed, the ruffled sheets crinkled under his fingers, he whispered, “Leia!, Leia! Are you up?” he asked as he heard a low moan, “What? I’m asleep” came the low reply, “One question: I had a conversation with a boy in Diagon alley yesterday about a prophecy talking about us” he informed her as she slowly rolled over, “What are you talking about?’ she asked, showing the tired, grumpiness in her voice, “I don’t know but it was about us, he meant and remember that whole morning mum and dad spent downstairs with Uncle Obi Wan?” he reminded her as she groaned once more, “It was probably some rumours, nothing to be worried about” she told him, “Now go to sleep” she barked, turning back over as Luke turned onto his back, staring up at his dark, low roof, wondering what tomorrow will bring.
“Padme, you can’t be serious. No Jedi dresses like this” Anakin complained once more, after looking at his new outfit in the long, vertical mirror, “Ani, you’re not suppose to be a Jedi but a Professor, of magic” she reminded him, “But still, they were this?” he asked, pulling another face of disgust, as she giggled, “Yes, I’m afraid they do. My outfit is different from what I usually wear but I am dealing with it” she assured him as he spun around so she was in his grasp, “Yes, but everyone will be distracted with your beauty than your outfit” he replied as she smiled, planting a sweet kiss on his adorable lips, “I’m sure they will be looking at your handsomeness too” she giggled as he assured her, “I’m already taken”, returning the kiss, before watching her change into her outfit, a light, bluey yellow outfit complete with long, golden blond locks, spinning around, she asked, “How do I look?” as he smiled, “Perfect, they shouldn’t recognise you” he answered her as she smiled once more, “I’m glad you like it so hopefully we shouldn’t have a problem” she told him as he grabbed her by her slim waist, “Alright, that’s it” he told her, pulling her onto the bed, tickling her, “Oh Ani, stop it stop it” she pleaded but he didn’t until she was on her back, against the soft, satin pillows staring up into Anakin’s soft baby blue eyes-how was she going to go without spending time with her husband was going to be tougher than she thought.
This chapter was an opening for the next chapter: the arrival of the Skywalkers at Hogwarts: how will this prophecy affect Luke and Leia, are Anakin and Padme’s lives in danger so that a greater evil can take the twins and turn them evil and who is this spy working for the evil dark person? Find out in the next chapter when a new world of magic is opened up!]

Chapter 4
The sound of rustling sheets flying off them, was the first thing that awoke a sleepy Anakin and Padme, rather than the usual bright sun rays, which were still a while away from rising in the Courscant Sky. It was Luke and Leia, who had bounced right out of their own beds and straight into their parent’s room, “Wake up! Come on, we can’t be late!” Luke told his parents, who slowly moved into a sitting position in front of them, “Luke, Leia, it is not even sunrise and the train is leaving at 11.00. We will make it on time, I promise” Anakin assured them, “But dad, there’s so much to do before we get on the train and we want a good seat in the train” they whinged as Anakin sighed, “Just another hour” he promised them, trying to fall back asleep but Padme was the one to nudge him this time, “Oh Ani, it wouldn’t hurt to get up a little but earlier than usual” she told him, turning to Luke and Leia, “Go and get washed up and we’ll meet you in the dining room for breakfast” she told them, before they darted off down the hallway before she turned back to Anakin, “As for you” she smirked, as he smirked back, “Oh now I see what you want” he replied, grabbing her by the waist, throwing the satin, silky sheets over them, Padme’s giggles filling the now, empty and quiet bedroom.
Leia stepped out of the fresher she shared with her brother and over to her already made, neat and tidied bed where her clothes were already pulled out, “Luke, do you think we’ll get more stares at school than when we were at Diagon Alley?” she yelled out to her brother, who popped his head back around the opened, wooden door frame, “On the contrary, I think they’ll all be aware of us coming or at least thinking it’s rumours and be on the look out for us” he pointed out as she sighed, “I don’t like much attention. I mean, we get it here from all the Jedi and Senators, because of mum and dad but we’re going to a new place and already, there’s news about us” she reminded him as he strolled casually back into the room, “Yeah, you’re right. I mean it’s here we’re known because our dad was the Chosen One of the Jedi order and our mum’s the Chancellor of the Republic, but at Hogwarts, you want it to be that we are normal” he let out as she gave him the look he knew that his mother gave their father when she was angry with him, “What?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders, “Just go into the dining room. I think I’ve stressed my opinions long enough” she sighed, watching him leave while she slipped into her knee length, light blue skirt and light pale pink blouse, along with her light, black stocking under her black boots, before running out to join her brother.
Still dressed in their nightwear, Anakin and Padme emerged into the dining room, with Luke and Leia staring crossly, “We gave you enough time to change, so why haven’t you?” Leia snapped as Anakin laughed, “Because some of us were sleeping and didn’t want to be disturbed before it was time to wake up” he glared at her, before she let out a little laugh, “Dad, this is serious. We are going to a new school, totally different from Courscant and you’re going to make us late” she informed him as he laughed, “No, we’re not. We know how important this is to you and we wouldn’t want you to miss out” he replied as Padme shortly joined not long after, with the smells of a freshly cooked delicious array of breakfast, “Here, we go. A nice, warm, delicious breakfast” Padme told them, watching Luke and Leia’s eye light up, “Oh this is so great!” Luke exclaimed, “I’m going to miss these meals” he added as Anakin joked, “I’ll send you a piece of meal every day so you don’t miss us” while Leia made a scrunch up face, “No, dad, that’s disgusting” she replied before reaching over for a bowl of hot, warm oatmeal while Luke rushed for the plate of warm, toasted bread as Anakin just leaned back on his chair, looking at his family, he was happy here and now they were going to a new place with new tricks to learn, he only hoped that this Defence Against the Dark Arts was that hard to learn and he would learn quickly-maybe he could use his lightsaber in classes but then he froze, he was suppose to be undercover but could he possibly use it as another method of teaching? He slightly smirked, at this thought before he watched his family, conversations filled the table.
“I wondered how big Hogwarts is? I bet we could do a lot of exploring” Luke pointed out as Padme looked over at him, “You can do exploring but only in places that are allowed. I don’t want to hear reports that you’ve been caught sneaking around forbidden areas” she ordered him as Luke sighed, “Oh mum, you ruin my fun” he answered back as Anakin softly gave a soft snort, “Luke, that was not nice to say. “Your mother’s only telling the truth, so you need to listen and be on your best behaviour” he ordered them as Luke looked down, “Yes, dad, I’m sorry” he muttered before jumping up from his chair, that nearly tumbled onto the soft, carpeted floor, “Well, I’m finished. I’m going to make sure I have everything so we can leave early” he announced, running or rather bouncing down the hallway before Leia took it as her cue and chased after him, leaving Padme and Anakin alone in the dining room, “What a morning. I don’t know how we’re going to cope at Hogwarts if we can’t scold them like we usually do” he sighed as Padme laughed, “Ani, you’re forgetting. Professors have power to issue punishments according to headmaster” she informed him as he blankly looked at her, “When did you speak with him?” he asked curiously, “You are forgetting that I asked to go and as the Chancellor, I was allowed a one on one meeting to discuss our plans” she smirked before slowly rising out of her chair and swiftly moving from the room as he smiled, “That’s why I love you. You always know what to do” he called out to her before he followed her.
Entering their bedroom, he found her getting ready in her normal clothes, “What happened to your disguise, Miss Sarah?” Anakin asked, slightly letting out a small laugh at the mention of her fake name as she whipped around, “Anakin, we don’t Luke or Leia know that we are going with them. We’re just two parents sending our children off like everyone else, Professor Quinn” she smirked at the mention of his fake name, “I don’t know why it’s that name for” he moaned as she softly ran a gentle hand through his blond, rough, uncombed hair, “I think it’s quite sexy” she smiled as he joked, “Shall I see you in my office then?” he smirked as she laughed, “What’s the trouble, Professor?” she cheekily asked, “Wanting to kiss you” he teased as she playfully hit him, “Anakin” she scolded, moving over to grab her light, long white coat over her yellow, short spotty dress, “Come on Anakin, hurry up and get ready. Obi Wan said he wants to come and see the twins off” she reminded him as Anakin popped his head round from the fresher, “When were you going to tell me that?” he asked, seeing her disappear out the bedroom and down the long hallway. Luke and Leia both jumped at the sound of the door chime, both froze, was it a cancellation from Hogwarts? They both felt very nervous, pressing their tiny ears to the pale, white wall as their mother moved to answer it, their hearts beating faster than ever, then returning to the normal when they heard familiar voices, “Obi Wan! You’re early. I thought we were picking you up from the Temple?” Padme asked as he returned her friendly embrace, “It was quiet at the Temple and I thought I’d save you the trouble and arrive at your place so I would leave with you. Besides, I thought Anakin might need some help with the twin’s luggage” he joked as Padme joined out, “Obi Wan, it wouldn’t have mattered, but I’m glad you’re here” she replied as another voice cut through, “It would have been nice if I was told earlier you were coming” the voice said as Obi Wan and Padme both turned to see a freshly cleaned Anakin standing at the entrance to the living room, “I wanted it to be a surprise” Obi Wan smirked, “It sure is. You can help with the luggage” he notified him, with a friendly embrace before loud shrieks startled them all, “Obi Wan!” came the over excited voices, Luke and Leia running into to greet their friend, “Look who’s excited about today? Going to bring back any magic to teach us?” he asked them as Luke piped up, “Always, we’ll be the teachers this time” he smirked as Leia rolled her eyes while Anakin glanced up at the timer in the dining room, adjacent to the living room, “We still have a long way off but we should start packing the speeder up and maybe we’ll try and find where the station is” he spoke up as Luke and Leia jumped with excitement, “Yeah, let’s do that!” they both claimed, running towards their room as the three adults slowly followed them into the long hallway.
Shortly after Anakin and Obi Wan had managed to squeeze the twin’s belongings and their animals, the five all climbed into the yellow, grey speeder and pulled off into early morning Courscant traffic, following directions off the parchment they had followed last time, “It’s a secret platform, hidden away from everyone. Back behind the shuttles” Obi Wan pointed out as Anakin looked over at Padme, “Talk about top secret” he muttered under his breath, “But why us? We must be more special than we know it” Luke boasted as once again Leia once again rolled her eyes, seeing the large, now quiet spaceport come into view, “See it was good to get here early. No one will see us” Leia smirked as Padme laughed, “Leia, it’s very smart of you to think that but we still have to find the entrance” she replied as Leia piped back, “I know but still, it’s safe not to been” as Anakin roughly brought the speeder into landing, turning to help Padme and Leia out while Luke and Obi Wan jumped out themselves and pulling their luggage off the speeder and making their way down the down the empty, greyish white concrete pathway, down more twisted alleyways.
“Are you sure the map says it’s here?” Anakin asked once more, staring at the brownish black wall, “Yes, it says that you run straight through. Look I’ll go first” Obi Wan told them, moving them back and running straight at the wall, vanishing right into it! “That was so cool!” Luke exclaimed, as Anakin looked over at Padme, “I guess it has to be the way. You go first with Leia, then I’ll follow with Luke” he told them, pulling Luke out of the way while Leia and Padme moved into the short, line up, Leia held tightly onto her mother’s hand as she held onto the trolley with all her luggage and ran at the brownish black wall and disappeared just like Obi Wan had, shutting her eyes, Leia just held onto to her mother’s hand.
The sound of a sharp train horn alerted Leia to another side, as she slowly opened her eyes, to see a long, shiny, red train stationed not too far from where she stood, “Oh it’s magical, isn’t it?” Padme gushed, waving Obi Wan over, “I have to say, I thought the wall was playing tricks on me but then I saw where the train was going and knew I was in the right place” he told them as Padme smiled, “We couldn’t believe it. You had just completely disappeared” she told him as another sharp jolt startled them and there was Anakin and Luke through the wall, Luke’s eyes glistered, “By the force!” he shouted, “Isn’t it amazing?” he asked them as Padme looked over to her son, “Yes, it is. Come on, let’s get your things boarded on the train” she told them, leading them over to the back of the train, once again the stares and whispers filled the air as they passed, “You weren’t kidding about the whispers, weren’t you?” Obi Wan pointed out as Anakin laughed, “Yeah, I feel like being at the Temple all over again” he replied, before helping Leia and Luke with their luggage and moving back down the train as others were preparing to board the red, shiny train. Padme crouched down to her children’s level, embracing them hard, “Oh, I’ll miss you too. Please be good and stay out of trouble” she sternly told them as Anakin ruffled Luke’s sandy blond hair, “Explore all you want but don’t let it get in the way of your studies” he added as Obi Wan laughed, “Like your father did when he was young at the Temple” telling them as laughter broke out in between the group as Anakin snapped back, “Yeah, well I was getting tired of your lectures” he teased before a loud voice cut in and the loud slams of doors could be heard, “You better get aboard” Anakin told them as Padme gave them once last kiss and hug as the tears began to swell up in her eyes, watching them board the train, waving and smiling from the window as the small, round wheels began to move and the train started to disappear from sight, Anakin’s strong arms around Padme’s small shoulders, her tears flowing down her soft cheeks as Luke and Leia disappeared from view.
“Are you ready for your turn now?” Obi Wan asked as they slowly and quietly turned to address him, Padme nodded, wiping the tears away, “Yes, I suppose we should go now. If we want to arrive before the twins do” she pointed out, reaching down for the travel bag, pulling Anakin towards a secluded corner of the platform, now empty and quiet except for Obi Wan, who waited patiently, occasionally hearing the complaints from Anakin, “Padme, this is crazy. I can’t wear this” Anakin moaned, “Oh, Anakin, you can’t wear black for all your life” she sighed, adjusting her long, golden blond locks around her face, adding a lighter colour to her eyes, before darkening Anakin’s sweet blue eyes and adjusting her light bluey yellow long dress, with bluey yellow heels, while Anakin adjusted the white, puffed sleeves on his shoulders before throwing over his heavy, deep brown cloak, watching as a deep brown colour seep through his golden blond locks, smiling at each other, Anakin sighed, “Ready?” he asked, “As always” she replied, taking his hand and emerging from the corner to where Obi Wan was standing, along with new visitors, Obi Wan had to laugh, “Anakin, I never thought I would see you like this” he laughed as Anakin shot him a glare only making him laugh harder as Padme cut in, “Obi Wan, what’s all this?” she asked, indicating the arrival of two, white, winged animals attached to a moderate greenery carriage with a small elfish creature at the reins, watching Obi Wan regain himself, he replied, “This is your means of transport. It will get there in no time. Go now, the headmaster is expecting you any moment” he told them, giving them one more friendly goodbye, “Good luck and stay safe” he told them, watching Anakin help Padme into the carriage before he followed, turning back, “Don’t worry, Obi Wan. It shouldn’t be that hard” he assured him as the carriage began to lift into the air and Obi Wan watched his two friends depart, unknown about the smaller figure lurking in the shadows.
“All the Skywalkers are now heading for Hogwarts, my lord” the smaller figure spoke into a transmitter, after watching the carriage depart, “Excellent, you now need to make your own way to Hogwarts and watch them more closely and await orders” the other voice hissed, “As you wish, master” they replied, “Do not reveal anything until it is time” the voice hissed, ending the transmission before the figure ascending their own transport, into the direction of Hogwarts.

Chapter 5
Like Obi Wan had assured them, the carriage arrived faster than the students and Anakin could see an older person, long, white bead down the front of his face, yellow, low rimmed glasses just in front of his eyes, dressed in very elaborate star and moon robes. Anakin politely bowed towards the man as he helped Padme down from the carriage, “It is good to see that you have arrived safely, Mr and Mrs Skywalker. I am Albus Dumbledore” he slowly spoke, he knew of the secret plan and addressed them properly as Anakin and Padme walked slowly up to him, “Thankyou headmaster, however it is best if our other identities are used” Padme informed him as he nodded, “I understand. The feast will be starting shortly and I have been informed that the Hogwarts Express is shortly approaching the station” he replied, “Allow me to take you up to the Great Hall where staff are already beginning to assemble” he added before slowly turning around and heading inside the great, huge, blackish doors to the castle. Padme had suddenly realised she had been holding Anakin’s hand, quickly letting go, although she hated to do it. She glanced over at him, she could get used to his clothes and disguise-he didn’t look bad with darker hair but she missed seeing his bright blue eyes. Soon, it would be over and back to normal she thought while they made their way through the large, open hallways of the castle-it sure was a beautiful place, moving into the Great Hall, filled with four, extreme long tables down the centre of the room and at the very end, another long brown table where other staff were sitting already as Dumbledore came to a stop, “Professors Snape, Sprout and Flitwick, I would like to introduce to you Anakin and Padme Skywalker, who will be known as Professor Jesse Quinn and Administer Sarah Hearty” he informed them as Padme and Anakin shook hands with the staff, Anakin could not help but noticed that Professor Snape, eyed him suspiciously, he had no idea why-he would have to keep an eye on him, “So, you’re the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?” Snape asked, in a low, cold voice as Anakin nodded, “Yes, I am. Shouldn’t be that hard” he assured him, “Let’s see how you go this year” he nodded as Dumbledore cut in, “Nice to see you talking together. I have been informed that the students arrived in Hogsmeade Station, with the first years coming over with our gamekeeper” he told them, Padme glanced over at Anakin, “Let’s take our places then so we can give them a warm welcome” she spoke up, moving behind the table, to a moderate sized chair next to the headmaster while Anakin took his seat, not too far but in a different seat, to avoid suspicion.
As Luke and Leia descended the train, donned in their brand new school robes, Leia’s brown, luscious curls flowed down her face while Luke had fixed up his hair, so he looked like his father, covering his eyes. The train ride had started out quiet but they met some new friends, trying out sweets in their carriage, of course, once they introduced themselves: it brought on a great deal of questions.
Note: this paragraph is a flashback to Luke and Leia travelling on the train, where they met their new friends The view outside the large, clean, glass windows was beautiful, the lush green hills, flowed with lush, tall, leafy tree and the light steady flow of the sea flowed underneath them, Luke was in awe, he had never seen a place more beautiful until Leia broke the silence, “It’s almost like being home at the Lake Country on Naboo, isn’t it?” she asked as Luke nodded, “Yes, makes me wonder what mum and dad are up to right now? Mum was so upset as the train began to depart” he pointed out as Leia nodded, “I know, but they’re probably so busy with work, they’ll forget about us until they’re alone at home” she replied, startled by the soft knocking, turning to see two young figures, their age peering through, “Would you mind if we joined you? It’s too crowded down the other end” the first asked, he wore a pair of black pants and light red jumper, his friend, she wore her school robes already and her thick light sandy brown hair fell down her face, “No, not at all. Happy to have more company” Luke smiled as they moved in and sat down as Leia carefully looked at the girl, “I’ve met you before” she softly told her as she laughed, “Well, it couldn’t be school. This is my first year” she replied before gasping, “But now I remember, it was at the animal shop in Diagon Alley! You’re Leia Skywalker!” she exclaimed, looking over at Luke, “Are you Luke Skywalker” she added as the other young boy’s eyes widened, “Bilmey, I can’t believe it. Luke and Leia Skywalker, right here in front of me” he spoke as Leia looked serious, Luke knew the look-he had seen his mother use it hundreds of time, “And you are?” she asked, seeing them trying to move their gaze away, “I’m Hermione Granger and this is Ron Weasley” she told them, “It’s nice to meet you. Nice to know we may have made some friends already” Luke informed them as they smiled, “It’s nice to know that you are so friendly” Hermione told them as Leia smiled, “Nice to know that” she added as the train slowly came to slow pace, “Looks like we’re nearly there. You three, you change into your robes” she told them, rising to her feet and exiting the carriage as Leia, Luke and Ron moved over to pull their school robes out of the trunks.
Now, Luke, Leia, their new friends and the rest of the year, were heading towards the small outline of what looked like small row boats on the water’s edge, “What’s all this?” Luke asked, confused as Hermione spoke up, “This is how the first years travel to Hogwarts. I read about it “Hogwarts: A History”, their magically pulled” as Luke followed Leia into one, followed by Ron and Hermione, when everyone was ready, the boats slowly moved away from the bank, leaving Luke and Leia, breathless, even more as the castle came into view, the lights brightly shimming through the huge, glass windows, Luke smiled secretly to himself, “I think I’m going to like it here” he thought as the boats glazed through the dark, navy waters
Awaiting the arrival of the first years, Padme and Anakin took some time out to the side, to talk, “Anakin, I don’t know if this is such a good idea. It’s so different” Padme told him, rubbing his arm softly and slowly, her long, blond locks, bouncing softly behind her, falling past her eyes as Anakin smiled down at her, brushing the piece of hair, away from her eyes, different from her usual colour, “I know, it’s hard but it’s only because we care for them. We’ll get use to it. It’s hard to for me because I want to kiss you and I can’t” he told her as she smiled, “Oh, Anakin” she whispered as he smiled, “I love you” he told her as she giggled before hearing eager footsteps as Padme looked in the direction of the huge, golden doors at the other end, “I guess the feast is about to start” she spoke as Anakin nodded, “I guess we should take our seats” slowly letting go of her soft hands and moving back to his seat as the hall began to fill up with students, but Anakin saw no sign of Luke or Leia: where were they? He hoped that nothing had happened to them?
“That was so cool, and the castle looks amazing!” Luke exclaimed as Leia smiled, “It certainly looks different than I expected” she added as they made their way through the grand hallways with spiralling stairways, indistinctively chatting among themselves, climbing the last stairway to the Great hall, where a older, more worn witch was waiting to greet them, her strong stern gaze eyed them seriously, and also immediately, a hush fell over the group as she began, “Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagell. Behind these doors are your fellow peers and teachers but before that you will be sorted in your house groups” she informed them as Luke and Leia exchanged a glance-so new to them, “There are four houses: Gryiffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. The Houses will be like your family. Rewarded for your good behaviour and punished for your wrongful behaviour” she told them, her eyes moving through the quiet group, “Now, if you will follow me. We’re ready for you” she told them, with a slight smile, leading the group towards the hall as Luke and Leia suddenly braced themselves for what they were about to face
Like they pulled opened from the other side, the huge, golden double doors swung open and thousands and thousands of eyes were all staring at them: there were four long tables lined with older students and another at the very end, lined with all the other teachers. It was so different than being at the Temple, although, he felt like he was back in the main council chambers with the masters looking at him. He looked over and saw Leia and Hermione staring up at the clear, open, ceiling before all stopping at the front, in front of a small stool and an old hat. “What’s with the hat?” Luke asked Ron, who whispered “I think it’s the sorting hat which sorts students into their houses” he replied, “A Hat?” he asked again as Ron looked at him, “You really don’t know a lot about Hogwarts don’t you?” he asked, seeing Luke shake his head as Professor McGonagell cleared her throat, as the hall quieted once again as she unrolled a brownish coloured scroll and began to call out names, Luke was half listening, staring around the hall, everyone was just staring at them. So different from the Jedi at the Temple, looking over the teacher’s table, he locked eyes with a man with darker coloured hair and darkish robes with puffed white sleeves. He was looking back at him, which surprised Luke, “Why was he staring at him?” It made him feel very uncomfortable, something to watch out for as he turned his attention back to the sorting hat. The group felt smaller now, half of the students had been sorted into their houses, including Hermione and now Ron, then it came, their moment as she called out, “Luke Skywalker”
The whispers started as Luke climbed the stairs towards the sorting hat, “It’s true. They are here” said one to another, “They’re different than I expected” said another as he slowly sat down, shifting uncomfortably as the teacher placed the sorting hat on top of his head, it’s creaky, dark voice began once again, “Well, what do we have here?” they asked, “Lots of courage and adventure, yes, a chance to show potential” they went on as Luke bit his top lip together, hoping to be placed with his new friends, “It could be Slytherin. It will help you but if you’re not wanting to be recognised, then it better Gryiffindor!” they roared, while Luke breathed a sigh of relief, sliding off the stool to his new friends and peers as Professor McGonagell cast another eye over the students, before calling the next name, “Leia Skywalker” and Luke watched his sister slowly moved forward, this time, he could really hear some of the whispers, “His sister. I can’t believe they’re both here” he heard, seeing the hat placed on her head, she sat tall and firm as they began, “Another Skywalker?” “This one is different. Full of knowledge but still carries a wild streak like the other one” “They can offer a lot, but I know where to put you: Gryiffindor!” they declared as Leia smiled joyously and over to her brother, before being welcomed by the group as everyone was sorted and the sorting hat was carried away.
As Professor McGonagell moved back to her seat, Professor Dumbledore slowly rose to his feet, and all eyes fell on him, “Before we begin the feast, I like to welcome all our first years to Hogwarts and I am delighted to announce that we have the arrival of two new teachers to the staff” he began, moving a hand to his right, “Firstly, the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts” Professor Jesse Quinn” and everyone saw a young man with darkish brown hair and strong piercing eyes rising to his feet, Luke could hear a few girls nearby, sigh in happiness as he rolled his eyes, as the headmaster went on, “Our second post is our new Administer, who will also be assisted our head of houses, “Administer Sarah Hearty” and everyone followed his gaze to a young woman with long blond hair, striking dark eyes and a slim figure, as Luke again saw a few boys whistling at her but Luke noticed the way she smiled and stared was sort of how his mother would look. She did have a slim figure like her but Luke knew she was back home so he shook his thoughts away as Dumbledore then announced “Let the Feast Begin!”
Just like that, the food appeared and Luke’s face beamed, “This is amazing” he told Leia who couldn’t believe her eyes at what had happened, looking back at the table of teachers, he saw the same teacher who was staring at him before, busy in conversation, he remembered his name, he was the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Luke would remember to remember him but he tried to relax and enjoy his first meal at Hogwarts with his new friends and his sister as he reached for a plate of hot, steaming pile of chicken pieces, he assumed they were and just chatting away with his new friends. Yes, Luke thought, Hogwarts was going to be a very interesting place to live
Once everyone had finished their delicious meals, the food was completely wiped cleaned from the long, dining tables as Dumbledore instructed the school perfects to lead their first years to their own dormorities followed by the older years. Teachers will cautiously watch for any students who wander away from their group. As groups began to file out, the teachers began to follow, including the new staff members, Jesse and Sarah, the last to leave. Jesse pulled her aside, “Nice smiling there, Sarah” he smirked as she smiled sweetly, “It comes natural, Jesse” hiding her laughter as he held her close, “That was some opening, huh?” Anakin asked as she looked away before burying her head in his shirt, “They look so different” she whispered as he kissed her softly, “I’ll go check on them, making sure they get settled in okay” he assured her as she squeezed him tightly, “Thankyou and I’ll go and have a final chat with the headmaster” she replied and with that, Padme and Anakin departed separately, like they barely knew one another.
The shadowy figure again watched them exit the large, empty, quiet hall, so unrecognisable to anybody else but to this figure, they weren’t. He knew they were Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, parents of Luke and Leia Skywalker. Their disguises may have fooled everyone but not him. He slowly brought a cold, smirk to his face, “I know who you are and soon you will be dead and my master will turn your children into his slaves” he muttered, emerging from the shadows, down to the dungeons where he was stationed.
“Gryiffindors, welcome to your common room. Girls, your rooms are the first door on your right. Boys, the same on your left, remain in those rooms during the night or you will be punished by perfects or teachers if caught out of bed at night” the perfect instructed them. Luke found himself feeling uncomfortable, how could he stay in his room without walking around like at the Temple? He would have to try as the perfect went on, “Your luggage has already been brought up to your rooms and I would advise for you all to get a good nights rest because you all have a big day tomorrow” he reminded them before another voice entered the room, “That’s right, Defence Against the Dark Arts first and I don’t want any sleepers in my class” they spoke as everyone sharply spun around to see Professor Quinn moving towards them. Up close, he looked so young and the girls tried not to blush but couldn’t help it, “I have in mind an interesting class tomorrow. I would hate for anyone to miss it by sleeping” he added, eying the small first years seriously, before his eyes came to rest in front of Luke and Leia, who surprisingly stared back intently, “Enjoy your first night here” he told them, smiling and walking out exit of the common room before the perfect ushered everyone up the spiralling stairs to their beautiful, luxurious bedrooms complete with their own four poster beds.
That night, as a hush silence was swept over the castle, the only two who were awake, were Luke and Leia, in their separate rooms, on their beds and their animals. Thinking how lucky they were to come here, for a chance to learn new things and make new friends, but something burned into the back of their minds: their parents: their looks they would give them while they were saying goodbye and all the secret meetings with Obi Wan. What was going on recently that they couldn’t know about?
[What a surprising chapter! The arrival of the Skywalkers at Hogwarts, being sorted and introduced. It’s all fun and games but how long will it last? Will Luke and Leia discover their parent’s identities? Will they discover the plan to murder their parents and destroy their lives? You’ll have to wait and see!]

Chapter 6
As the bright yellow sun rose in the light, blue sky, the students and teachers at Hogwarts were slowly starting to rise, including a very sleepy Luke and Leia, who had stayed up in their dormorities for most of the night, and had only had a couple of hours sleep, Luke angrily waved Ron’s requests for him to get up before finally opening his lazy, tired eyes and finding him staring down at him, “Come on, mate, you can’t stay in bed all day and miss your classes” he told him as Luke groaned, “I didn’t sleep well last night so I’m just going to be a little late” he moaned as Ron rolled his yes, “Come on, let’s get moving” he told him, whipping the sheets right off him, pushing him out of bed, “I’ll be waiting downstairs. Hurry up or I’ll send Leia up” he teased as Luke shot right up and quickly changed, he did not want that to happen, Leia can be great to hang around with but in the morning, she is like a junior version of their mother in the morning when she ordered their father to get up and Luke was not in the mood to hear Leia’s screams for him to get up and out of the room as he dashed from the room, meeting up with his friends and heading out with the rest of the school to the Great Hall for breakfast.
The Great Hall was still an amazing site to take it, even if the only light was the natural lights of the sun blazing through the huge, glass windows as students filed in, taking their seats at their respective house tables, Luke and Leia couldn’t believe it-it was ten times more amazing than the Temple’s eating hall, there were students everywhere discussing their new classes after receiving their new timetables, lost in awe, they were startled when a sweet, soft voice spoke, “Hello, first years. I hope you all had a perfect night sleep here?” she asked as they all looked up to see a young, blond hair women staring down at them, “Yes, Miss Hearty” Leia spoke for them, “Good to hear, “I have your timetables here. Today you begin with Defence Against the Dark Arts with new Professor Quinn, who has asked me to ensure you to have all your equipment and are punctual, ready to answer all questions he asks” she informed them, turning on her heel and moving down the other end as Ron breathed, “Bilmey, that’s a lot to take in, from a new Professor” he told them as the other three agreed, taking their seats at their table, ignoring the stares and whispers from everyone else as Hermione looked down at the timetable, “Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Herbology, Transfigation and Potions” she announced as Luke nearly choked on his toast, “What! Who do they think we are, don’t they believe in going easy on us?” he asked while Leia rolled her eyes before moving them over to where the Slytherins sat and a young boy, with bright blond hair, almost a clear white and bright smirk across his face, joked around as Sarah handed them their tables. He wasn’t like any boy she had known that she was so distracted that she almost didn’t hear Luke.
Following his’s sisters gaze, Luke couldn’t believe who it was, “Hey, I recognise him. He’s the boy I had a really uncomfortable conversation with in the fitting rooms in Diagon Alley not to mention, his dad had one with my dad” he informed them as Leia spun around, “What are you talking about now?” she snapped, as Ron laughed, “Who, Draco and Lucious Malfoy?” he asked, seeing Luke nod, “It’s him, I’m sure” he assured them as Leia snapped again, “What did he say?” in her I don’t care attitude, as Luke answered her, “Something about we shouldn’t be going, his father is very angry” as Ron corrected him, “The Malfoys think they are in higher class than everyone because they are all “pure blood” meaning they are all magical and students from non-magical backgrounds like yourselves shouldn’t be here” as Leia flicked her curls back behind her ears, “That’s ridiculous. They shouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t put people down because they’re of different status” she laughed as Luke snorted, she glared at him, “What’s that for?” she angrily snapped as Luke looked up from his breakfast, “You have always been at school, acting snobbish around others saying to those who you hated-I’m going to get my mother and father to take care of you” he told her, in his best Leia impersonation as she evilly glared more while Ron and Hermione’s eyes darted back and forth between the two siblings, “It doesn’t matter. You’ll see Draco’s true side soon enough but for now, we should finished eating and then hurry off to class so we aren’t late” Hermione cut in, continuing with her breakfast as she flipped through her new text books.
Pacing up and down his relatively large office, Anakin had never felt more nervous in his life-worse than when he was training to be Jedi, his first assignment alone, fighting in the Clone Wars, finding out he was going to be a father. This topped all of that-he had never teached before, well once, he had to fill in at the Temple but this was completely different. He had spent most of his night reading through all his notes but he was still totally taken by surprise by all this new information, muttering to himself all the notes in his head that he didn’t hear the door to his office opening until the voice spoke, “You almost ready, Professor” as Anakin jumped a little in his spot to see his beautiful, unrecognisable wife smiling at him, which made him lighten up, “I hope so, because I really have no idea. I think I’m starting to understand but for today, give a brief introduction and some practical exercise” he told her as she slowly moved into kiss him, “Oh sweetie, you’ll do fine. I know you will do fine” she assured him, sliding past him and over to his desk, “This morning when I was in the Great Hall, I saw Luke and Leia and it seems that they’ve already made two friends and seemed very friendly together” she told him as Anakin laughed, “Let’s hope they are because friends are hard to trust at times” he answered her as Padme innocently rolled her eyes, “Oh Anakin, not everyone is who you think they could be” she reminded him, before they were both alerted by a loud, piercing bell, “That’s the bell, your students are on their way, “Good luck, Professor” she smirked, slowly brushing past him, but not before he pulled her into his grip and gave her a soft, romantic kiss, “Thanks” he smiled, making her blush before leaving the office
The anxious first years excitedly poured into the large classroom for their very first lesson of Defence Against the Dark Arts with their new Professor, Luke took his seat next to Ron while Leia took her seat next to Hermione opposite from each other, talking indistinctively before a loud, smudge voice entered the room, “Well, well, look who showed up at Hogwarts, you shouldn’t even be here, all four of you. Hogwarts doesn’t need you overcrowding their rooms” they teased as Luke, Ron, Leia and Hermione twisted around to see a sickly Draco smirking a few away, Luke laughed, rising to his feet, “Well, I think we can be here but I don’t think we need you around here, holding your nose up high” he shot back, seeing him flinch, “How dare you speak to me like that!” he roared as Luke went on, “I think I can because you act all tough but you don’t look it. I know more than you think” he informed him as Draco laughed more, “Oh yeah, from who? Your Mudblood parents?” he shot back, at the mention of this word, the entire classroom gasped as another voice filled the air, “What did you call our parents?” she demanded, standing next to her brother, “Mudblood because they have no magical powers unlike my parents” he boasted as Luke stepped angrily forward, “My parents know more than you think! Especially my father who could rip your father in half!” he shouted back, edging closer to him, he violently gave him a rough shove, “You don’t touch me! Mudblood!” he spat back as Luke angrily fought back, “You don’t insult my family!” closing in, with all eyes on the two boys when a louder voice entered the room.
“That is enough! I’ll have none of that in this classroom! Now move to your seats and I will see you two boys after class” the voice informed them as all eyes flew back to the front where Professor Quinn stood, watching everyone settle back to the front, “Now if we’ve all moved on, I can begin the lesson. I am Professor Jesse Quinn and I am your Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher” he began, “The Dark Arts is shrouded with darkness and I am here to help you on how to prevent it” he went on, this was true because he had been tempted with the dark side, hopefully he could use it in his teachings, “Learning different techniques to block unfriendly spells” he told them as the class listened on intensively. To Luke, he found himself very intrigued about this class and it might be his most favourite class, casting an evil glare at Draco, he wished he could use one of this new Defence spells against him for his comments earlier but he quickly turned back around, focusing on Professor Quinn.
Luke had wished the lesson could not end, that he could stay and listen to more of his teachings but couldn’t, although he almost had forgotten he wanted to speak to him after earlier on until he reminded him, “Luke, Draco, can I see you for a moment?” he asked them sternly, watching them slowly drift to the front of the classroom, “is something wrong?” Luke asked innocently as Jesse did not blink but stared back, “I think you should know why I want to speak to you” he pointed out as Draco snorted, “I shouldn’t be in trouble, or my father will hear about this” he informed him as he turned to him, “But your father is not here, this is not his classroom and not his rules” he pointed out, “I want to say that little display earlier on, was uncalled for and not the type of behaviour in classes. Now do you mind telling me how it started?” he asked as Luke quickly spoke, “I was chatting with my friends when Draco started to taunt us about not being here, then he called my parents, Mudblood and I only argued back to protect my parents because they are not Mudblood” he assured him as Jesse slowly, moved away, “I see, so Draco, why did you call his parents Mudblood?” he went on, “Because they are! I am not because I am from magical background” he boasted as Jesse shook his head, “I don’t want to hear it, regardless of family, that behaviour was inexcusable, so I am going to have to punish you” he told them as Luke froze in his spot, letting Jesse go on, “10 points from Slytherin and Gryiffindor and detention for each of you: Friday night: my office” he told them as Luke and Draco began to protest, before Jesse cut them off, “No, you should have thought of that before your outburst, now off you go, you’re late for History of Magic” he informed them as Luke and Draco just huffled off from the classroom, where Luke found Ron waiting for him, “How did it go? What did he want?” Ron asked as Luke snapped, “He gave me a detention and I loss 10 house points” he informed him ,”Bloody hell, that’s a bit much. Draco started it” he reminded him, “Yeah but I fought back” he replied as Ron breathed a deep breath, “That’s really unfair, especially for what he called you” he told him as Luke cut him off, “I don’t want to talk about. Where’s Leia and Hermione?” he asked, “Off to class already. I decided to wait for you” he answered as Luke smiled, “Thanks. I appreciate that” he replied, moving quietly down the long, now deserted corridor with Ron.
“What a tiring first lesson. Already giving out punishments” Anakin thought to himself, although he enjoyed having that power to do that, he couldn’t shake what Luke had told him, “He called my parents Mudblood and I was only protecting them because they are not” He was only defending me, which was interesting and made him smile as he moved over to his selves to prepare for his next lesson, he didn’t see or hear the person enter the room till they spoke, “Hard morning?” they asked in a creaky voice as Anakin twisted around, seeing the smaller, hunched figure in front of him, “Who are you?” he asked, trying to see his face, “I am an assistant professor to Professor Snape, my name is not necessary” he informed him as Anakin stood back, “What do you want?” he asked as he let out a small laugh, “Wanting to talk about those Skywalker twins, interesting aren’t they?” he asked as Anakin gave a weak smile, “Yes, everyone knows about them, must be hard to deal with all the whispers” he replied as the figure went on, “Their parents are interesting too, a Chancellor and a Jedi Knight, no wonder they’re special” he went on as Anakin froze, “How did he know this? He was just an assistant professor” he thought as the figure started to move off, “Difficult times are approaching, the twins need to be well protected and taught well” he finishing, exiting the classroom, leaving Anakin speechless, What was he on about? Anakin then knew that he would watch out for him and Professor Snape, as he had a strange feeling something would happen, involving them.
Padme wandered the quiet, deserted corridor, alone for a change, she had spent most of the morning with the headmaster on official business, discussing teaching strategies at Hogwarts and the punishments issued to students. It was hard work but not as hard as being the Chancellor. Now she walked along a beautiful well carpeted hallway, admiring the artworks of famous witches and wizards of the ages, before she was startled by a cold, low voice, “Administer Hearty” they spoke as she twisted around and saw the cold, pale face of Professor Snape, “Professor Snape, because we are staff, you can address me as Sarah” she smiled as he let out a small smile, “Thankyou for that, Sarah” he replied, “I was wondering if I could have a quick word with you?” he asked, “Of course, is something wrong?” Sarah asked, “One small thing, I just had a report from one of my students in my house that they received an unfair punishment for nothing” he informed her as she smiled, “Severus, I am sure that the punishment was for something quite reasonable. Who is the student and who issued the punishment?” she stated as he stared back at her, “Draco Malfoy and issued by Professor Quinn” he replied as Sarah nearly smirked but didn’t show it, “Well, I am sure right now, Jesse doesn’t have any classes now so why don’t we go and find out” she suggested, moving down the hallway with Snape, eager to settle this once and for.
Sitting alone in his office, Anakin was growing with frustration, there has to be something here about Mudbloods he wondered, skimming through pages and pages before a soft knocking at his door, startled him, “It’s open” he called, not bothering to look up until they had entered, with a smile, he greeted his arrivals, “Sarah, Severus. What a surprise, what brings you here?” he asked as Sarah moved into a spare seat, “I was just informed by Severus, that Draco Malfoy received an “unfair punishment”?” she stated, “Unfair punishment? Ha! I issued a fair punishment to both students, so I don’t know what Mr Malfoy has told you” Anakin told them as Padme looked at Snape, then Anakin, “Do you mind informing us of why they received punishment?” she asked, in her firm, political voice, “Of course, before class started as students were assembling, Mr Malfoy started a war of words concerning Mr and Miss Skywalker and their friends Mr Weasley and Miss Granger, Skywalker went to argue back which turned into a shoving match, almost leading to a fight” he explained as Padme nodded in agreement, “I see, well it seems that the punishment was right for that kind of behaviour and both boys were punished, Severus” she informed him as he stared coldly at them, “Obviously, but I shall show no mercy in my classroom” he informed them, before making a swift exit.
Padme turned back around to Anakin who was smirking down at her, “Your first class and you already issue punishment, I bet you enjoyed that” she told him as he laughed, “Yeah, a shame it had to be Luke as well” he told her as Padme lightly touched his arm, “Luke has his father’s streak in him, a lust for trouble” she smiled as Anakin looked down at her, “Hey, he was only defending his family, apparently Malfoy called us mudbloods” he informed her, “Mudbloods? What’s that?” she asked blankly as he turned back to his desk, “I don’t know, I’ve been looking through texts for answers but no luck” he replied as Padme smiled, “I’ll talk to the staff, see if I can find out anything” she told him, lightly giving him a quick kiss and heading out, leaving Anakin with a cheeky smirk on his face. Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron could not believe that the day was not yet over, they still had to survive Potions with Snape, descending the stairs to the dungeons and to the classroom, Leia couldn’t believe still that Luke received a detention, “You let Draco get to you, you couldn’t just stand back and let him go away” she told him as Luke snapped back, “You were angry too, he called our parents mudbloods, how could you let him do that. Someone had to stand up to him” he told her as Leia sighed, “I guess so. I can’t believe I almost wanted to be friends with him” she confessed, shocking Luke, Ron and Hermione, “I can’t believe you just said that” Luke told her, taking their seats as Professor Snape sleuthed his way to the front, “In this classroom, know that any foolish behaviour will be punished. This is potion making and only making potions will you need to be doing” he told them, in his cold voice, glaring over the classroom, stopping at Luke and Leia Skywalker, “Well, it seems that we have some “famous” students in our classroom” he informed the classroom as Luke and Leia shifted uncomfortably, “I don’t care that you did well in your other classes today but I hope I see more excellence in my class” he told them as Luke stared back, “Well, we’re only first years in our first lesson, you have to teach so we can prove something” he told him as Snape moved forward, “Well, now it seems we have a smart one here. For Skywalker’s attitude, I want a two parchment essay on brewing Wiggleweld potion with information on when to use it” he informed the class, who groaned in displeasure as Leia looked over at Luke, “Nice going, airhead, add to the homework workload already” she muttered under her breath before turning back, taking notes from the board.
Emerging from the dungeons, everyone was just pleased that they had some free time before dinner was served, unfortunately Malfoy wasn’t about to let them go, “You think you’re so smart Skywalker, especially this morning” he snarled behind them as Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron spun right around at the bottom of the stairway, “Malfoy, didn’t you learn from this morning. We’re better than you” Luke teased, “Only because you’re famous mudbloods” he told them as Ron spoke up, “At least they don’t go around that they’re famous” he told him as Malfoy snarled, “Shut up, Weasley” he told him, Leia had decided she couldn’t stand this and moved off with Hermione as Luke and Ron fought back Malfoy, “Malfoy, you just don’t learn. You always want to provoke people, blaming troubles on them” Luke told him as Draco laughed, “Well, I know it works, because I won’t be in detention on Friday, unlike you” he sneered as laugh filled the air, “Don’t be so sure, Mr Malfoy” they spoke as they all spun round to see Sarah Hearty strolling down the stairs, “Professor Snape informed me of your report of unfair punishment and lies to him, however when speaking to Professor Quinn, we decided to leave it that you have the detention to learn that’s not accepted” she explained to them, “I need to speak to Luke now, so Luke will come with me” she told him, walking towards the huge, front doors out to the grounds as Luke turned to Ron, with a worried look, before following Sarah into the grounds.
The clean fresh air of the Hogwarts ground was crisp and smelled of fresh, green trees as Luke hurried to catch up with Sarah, “Luke, you’re not in trouble. I just wanted to speak with you” she informed him, “About what?” he asked as Sarah laughed, making Luke notice that she had a similar laugh like his own mother, “Only that you’ve been very attentive in classes today although there are worries that Malfoy will drag you down, like I just saw” she told him, “I don’t mean it. He acts like he is running the place, treating us different because of my parents” he answered back as Sarah smiled down at him, “I suppose you are wondering why he keeps calling you mudblood” she told him as Luke nodded slowly, “Mudblood, is a foul word in this world, meaning someone is from non-magical backgrounds. It is not a common word to hear in conversations, to use it, is like paving the way to insult a person” she informed him, Luke took a deep breath, he didn’t want to know but had to ask, “Administer Hearty, I am mudblood or is Draco just taunting me?” watching Sarah go silently, “Luke, I don’t want to lie. You are very well known in this world, however, you come from parents who have no magical powers, meaning Leia and yourself are the first of your family to be here, so Draco has been told by his parents and will let you know it, but you are not to let him get to you” she told him as he nodded once again, “I promise” he assured her as she smiled at him, “That’s good to hear. I trust your parents are very proud of you” she smiled as he gave a half smile, “I guess they are. Things were different before I left” he told her as she laughed, “I’m sure they are, as parents always are” she assured him, “Now off you go, dinner is almost being served” she told him, watching him run off.
Padme slowly looked around from where she stood, she felt like she had been watched while talking to Luke, and it wasn’t Anakin, her concerns shown when she was startled by a creaky, crackly voice, “He can learn so much can he, like his father” the figure pointed out as Padme slowly moved towards the castle, “Who’s there?” she asked, her voice shaky with fear, “No name necessary, just an assistant to Professor Snape” came the reply as Padme soon saw who is was, “Oh it’s you” she replied, “Yes, it is and those Skywalkers are eager aren’t they?” he asked, “Well, they do come from well known parents where they are from?” she smiled, “Ah, yes, a Chancellor for a mother and a Jedi Knight for a father, how interesting” he spoke as Padme froze, how did he know that? She wondered as Padme looked at him more closely, “Yes that is true, but they shouldn’t be isolated because of that” she laughed as the figure unhurried himself away. “Dark times lie already for Luke and Leia and their parents: can they handle it?” he asked, disappearing into the bushes, leaving Padme in utter bewilderness.
“What!?! You accepted a late night challenge from Draco Malfoy!” Luke exclaimed, he had just returned to the common room as Ron, Leia and Hermione were preparing to leave for dinner, “I didn’t have a choice, he just issued it as I went off after you left with Administer Hearty” he replied, “We’re not allowed out at night and I’m in enough trouble without getting you into more” he informed him as Ron went on, “I know but maybe, we can finally show Draco who he is messing with” he suggested as Hermione spoke up, “You shouldn’t do this, Draco is trouble and he will trick you somehow. You can’t let him get to you” she told him as Luke laughed, “Now you’re sounding like Administer Hearty when she spoke to me before” he teased her, seeing her go red as Leia looked over at him, “What did she speak to you about?” she asked, “Just about not letting Draco get to me and she told me what a mudblood is” he replied, seeing them staring intently at him, so he went on, “A mudblood is someone who has non magical parents, not a word you hear in conversations only use as an insult” he finished as Leia’s hands flew to her mouth, “What! Ooh, that Draco is in so much trouble!” she snapped as Hermione spoke up, “You can’t be serious! You’ll get in trouble for being out tonight” she reminded them as Luke said, “Well, we can’t show him we’re cowards. We have to do something” he pointed out as Leia met Luke’s gaze, “Time to get up to our old tricks again” she told him as he nodded before heading out to the Great hall for dinner.
[Well, now what an interesting first day of lessons huh? Will Draco show up tonight or is he planning something else? Will Luke, Leia and Ron be caught? And who is this new assistant professor and is he telling Anakin and Padme details that will unfold? Stay tuned!]

Chapter 7
Neither Luke, Leia, Ron nor Hermione spoke a word to each other during dinner, Hermione especially, too shocked that now Leia was going along with Luke and Ron tonight to confront Draco, when he could clearly be tricking them, but none of them wanted to listen, instead planning how they would sneak out and outside in the courtyard without being seen by teachers or perfects. Luke and Leia had never done everything like this before, but Luke had discover that his father use to sneak out from the Temple when he was younger without Obi Wan knowing, and so this couldn’t be any different to what they were about to do. Luke looked over to the Slytherin table to see Draco Malfoy smirking at him intently, then his eyes moved over to the teacher’s table where he saw Sarah having an in depth conversation with Jesse, who seemed to be smiling at her cheerful, “anymore of that playful attitude and he’d flirting with her” he thought, before turning back to his friends, who still remained in silence at each other, “Is anyone going to talk?” he asked them as Leia replied, “Only if it’s not about tonight. We don’t want anyone else to hear” she pointed out, “Okay, how about Luke getting into trouble for causing trouble with Malfoy, on the first day?” Ron pointed out as Luke laughed, “I think it’s funny how Draco lied and tried to get out his punishment” he added as Leia rolled her eyes, “I can’t believe you were entertaining him by hanging around and engaging conversation the second time today” she poke up, “The first time was correct, calls our parents mudblood, they’re never mudblood” she spat as Hermione quickly looked up, “That’s reminds of something. I’ll go retrieve it and meet you back in the common room” she told them before darting off and out of the Great Hall as Ron, Luke and Leia stared at where she left, with confused, blank looks across their faces: What did she mean now? Did she find something of interest? They wondered.
Once the long, dining tables had been cleared and the students were dismissed from the hall, Ron, Luke and Leia all hurried from the hall in great haste, eager to see if Hermione was back from wherever she had to disappear to, “Knowing Hermione, it’s probably some book she found while she was in the library earlier today that she trying to work out all day” Ron told them as Leia looked serious, “I was with her all and it seemed something else was bothering her, even more when we left the dungeons after Potions” she informed them as Luke laughed, “Yeah, but what if it was something about one of the essays we had to write?” he suggested as Ron joined in and Leia only rolled her eyes and huffed off, “I guess she thought we didn’t take it seriously” Ron spoke up as Luke shrugged, “Don’t worry about it, we’ll find out when we get into the common room” he confidently told them, manoeuvring their way through the swarms of students making their way back to their common rooms.
Anakin slowly made his way back to his quarters, having said a quick, secretive goodnight to Padme when he felt a sharp, dark disturbance through his senses and the voice he had heard back in his apartment, “The Darkness is approaching, and Luke and Leia will have to face their most feared fears to save the ones they are closest to, if they fall, Hogwarts will be finished” the voice spoke as Anakin tried to sense where it was coming from, this was getting too dangerous, Luke and Leia shouldn’t have come, as they were warned all the years ago, to protect Luke and Leia from darkness so a new evil doesn’t emerge, he was here undercover to watch over them, but why did he have this eerie feeling that something will happen and he just couldn’t see it coming?
There were still a fair few amount of students in the Gryiffindor common room as Luke and Ron climbed through the portrait entrance, they were waved over by Hermione and Leia, who were peering over a big, thick book, Ron and Luke looked at each other as if to say, I knew it was over a book, but moved over to the girls anyway, Leia was the first to acknowledge them, her deep brown eye moving over to Luke, “You have to see this, Luke, there are pages about us” she told him, looking blank, Luke leaned in, seeing pictures of himself, Leia and their parents under a title: The prophecy lives, can these two children save the magical world from destruction?” Luke looked to Leia, then Ron before continuing on with the book:
For many years now, the wizarding world has been a gust with rumours of two children from the prophecy who will end the evil and darkness that fears us, are these two it? Luke and Leia Skywalker, the twin children of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Chancellor Padme Amidala Skywalker could be the answer, according to Ministry and Professors across the country. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore says, “Born to well known parents, carrying their talents speaks of what the prophecy says: two humans, not from the wizarding will be born and return to this world to stop the evil from taking over” Luke and Leia were born in hard times in their own world, with close family members falling all around them as their parents struggled to protect them, through the times of the Sith rising again. Hopefully, they will be able to stop the evil rising in our world like their parents overturned the Sith in their world. Luke, Ron, Leia and Hermione all looked up at one another, in complete shock, no more than Luke and Leia were, they were a prophecy, like their father had been, “Whoa, you never mentioned that your dad was a Jedi Knight” he pointed out, although he looked confused, having no idea what a Jedi Knight was as Luke laughed, “We didn’t know how to explain what one was” he replied as Hermione spoke up, “Is a Chancellor like a leader, like the Minister for Magic?” she asked as Leia informed her, “Yes, she is very powerful and the people love her, much like when she was Queen of her planet” she proudly added as Ron’s eyes nearly fell from his sockets, “She was a Queen too? You guys are lucky” he breathed as Luke laughed once more, “That was before we were born, we didn’t know all that, until we found out ourselves” he pointed out before glancing at them, “We should be preparing to leave so we can meet Draco” he reminded them as Hermione sharply closed the thick book, “I can’t believe you’re going. You’re going to get caught because Draco will trick you” she snapped, rising to her feet, she quickly fled up the stairs as Luke, Leia and Ron began to discuss their plan for sneaking through Hogwarts undetected.
At five past eleven, Leia descended the stairs to the common room, to find Luke and Ron already there, dressed warmly in their normal clothes, “You ready?” she asked them, “I guess, let’s just get this over with” he informed her, tiptoeing their way out into the dark, dimly lit corridor, no one in sight, for now, no doubt there were school perfects patrolling every floor, so they would have to be quiet and move around stealthy through the castle until they were outside, which is where Draco told them to be at midnight. “I have a bad feeling about this” Leia whispered as Luke laughed, “You’re starting to sound like Obi Wan or dad” he replied, in a low voice, as they avoided the lights, keeping to the shadows, almost to the front doors, they quickly ducked behind the stairs as they heard voices, “Sarah, you have too much concern for the students, like Jesse or Minerva” Dumbledore informed her as she remained serious, “It is my position to watch over all students and I just feel that someone is here to sabotage that, Severus’s assistant, who seemed awfully curious about the Skywalkers earlier today” she pointed out as Dumbledore gave a soft laugh, “I’m sure he like everyone else and wants to found out more, but I will keep an eye out on him if you are suspicious of him, Sarah” he smiled as she smiled, “I appreciate that, Albus” she replied, moving off towards her quarters followed by Dumbledore then Luke, Leia and Ron resumed their journey towards the front of the castle.
Hermione could not believe that they had left to meet Draco, she had a strange feeling that this was all a scheme to get them in more trouble, she had tried to talk them out of it but they were persistent and she had to inform someone, rather their head of house teacher or a perfect, she decided to sneak up to Professor Quinn’s quarters, if Draco planned on using any kind of dark magic spells, Professor Quinn could stop them or catch them before anyone else did. She let out a deep breath, raised her left hand and knocked quiet loudly on the door.
Anakin’s eyes sprung open at the sound of the rather loud knocking on the door, who could it be at this hour, no student should be out of their quarters, unless it was Padme, sneaking over to steal some time, never the less, he grabbed a robe and slipped it over his uncovered chest, opening the door, to find Hermione Granger staring up at him, her eyes wide with fear, hoping that she wasn’t in trouble, he gave a smile, “Miss Granger, what brings you here at this hour. Is something wrong?” he asked as she shook her head, “No, but it’s my friends” she answered him, as he froze, “What’s wrong?” he asked, “Well, Draco Malfoy issued a midnight challenge out on the grounds and Ron, Luke and Leia have gone to meet him, but I think it’s a scheme and he won’t show and they’ll be caught” she informed him as he looked at her, “You did the right thing to come to a teacher, so I will head out there to stop them” he informed her as Hermione froze, “Could you not mention it was me who told, I don’t want them to hate me over this?” she asked, “Of course, I understand. I will return with you to the common room, then will head out to the grounds to find your friends” he explained as she smiled, “Thanks, I just didn’t want them in more trouble because of Draco again” she replied, “I understand” he smiled, following her out of his quarters, he did he have a strong feelings all alone, Luke and Leia would try something like this.
The grounds of Hogwarts were cold, damp and dark, as winter began to creep over Hogwarts, Luke, Leia and Ron squinted in the darkness, looking at each other, they each took out their long, pointy, wooden wands and whispered, “Lumos” as a bright yellow light formed at the end, “I don’t see Draco or his friends anywhere” Luke spoke up, “Maybe Hermione was right, that he was planning to get us in trouble” Leia told them, jumping as they heard a snap of a twig and rustling of leaves, “Who’s there?” Ron asked, his voice shaky with fear, as no reply came, “This is bad, we are in so much trouble” Luke told them, “Ooh, Draco is so dead when I see him tomorrow!” Leia declared, “Let’s just go, before someone spots us” Ron told them, as another voice filled the air, “Already too late” they spoke, twisting around, they came face to face with Professor Quinn, “Now I wonder what are three first years doing out, in the cold, dark grounds and not in their rooms?” he asked, “Uh, well, we were meeting a friend” Luke laughed nervously, “They’re not here so I guess we’ll be going” he added, “Not so fast” Jesse told them, stopping them, “This is inexcusable, you should not even been out at this time, you know the rules and what happens if you were caught. Now come on, I’ll escort you back to your beds” he informed them as another voice entered the air, “Ah, I see, you already have caught our night owls” came the cold voice, as they all turned to see the black figure of Professor Snape coldly eying them over, “Severus, I can handle this. I was informed about this matter and I was handling it” Anakin told him, matching his gaze, “So was I. Inform of a midnight challenge against Draco Malfoy and his friends” he explained, as Luke exclaimed, “What!?! He issued the challenge to us in the first place!” his face was red with anger as they watched Jesse and Snape argue against each other over who should punish them, “Snape, I think I will handle this, I was informed first and I will handle it” Anakin told him, moving back up the stairs, brushing past him, followed by Luke, Leia and Ron, who couldn’t even look the teachers in the eye, they knew they were in trouble and also knew that Hermione was right and they never listened to her, now they had to pay the consequences.
Luke, Leia and Ron kept on following Professor Quinn, noticing he wasn’t going to their common room, “Uh, Professor, our rooms are that way” Leia spoke up, “We’re not going there straight away. We have this situation to deal with first” he informed then not even bothering to turn around to look at them, until they reached Professor McGonagell’s quarters, and entering into the quarters to find McGonagell up and waiting beside her bed and to his special, Padme was waiting, “Jesse, is there something wrong? Something to deal with at this hour?” Sarah asked, “Unfortunately, there is. I was informed about an incident that didn’t happen but I found these three out in the grounds followed by Professor Snape, who was informed of a midnight duel with Draco Malfoy who planned all this, only to get them caught and in trouble” he informed them, seeing both women reveal shock expressions, “This is unbelievable, the Skywalkers and Weasley, I am shocked. They should know better” McGonagell informed them, as Sarah spoke, “Well, I think they’re showing signs of their families. Luke and Leia are showing signs of who their father is and Ron is starting to act like his twin brothers” she smiled, “Be that as it may, it was foolish to be out of bounds when they know the rules and will be punished” McGonagell ordered, “20 points from Gryiffindor each and the three of you will receive detention” she explained, “What! Unfair, Malfoy should be getting in trouble, he planned it” Luke argued, “Mr Malfoy was not out of his bed when he shouldn’t be, you were and you must face the consequences” Jesse told them, “Now, move back down to your beds. It’s nearly morning and you need some sleep” he told them, Leia wanted to argue but it was pointless, so they just slowly moved from the quarters.
“I cannot believe what has happen, and with them” McGonagell told them, breaking the silence, “Something was bound to happen, it just needed some time” Jesse replied, “I’ll get heading back, Sarah you coming?” he asked, “Yeah, sure” she smiled, following him out of the quarters, into the long, quiet, deserted hallway, “Nice attitude, Professor. You love this, don’t you?” Padme smirked, “Oh, sweetie, you know me too much. I just can’t believe they would do this” he told her, “Well, they were just like their father when he was younger” she laughed, “I can’t believe Obi Wan told about those stories” he sighed as she giggled, “Ani, you should know not everything can be kept a secret for long” she assured him, with one last sweet kiss before heading to her quarters and Anakin ascended the stairs to his quarters.
Luke, Leia and Ron slowly climbed back into the portrait, almost having to lift their feet just to walk, “I can’t believe Draco, he tricked us and now we’re in more trouble!” Leia shouted as Luke sighed, “I know, two detentions in the first week, how bad is that?” flopping down onto the lounge, “This is so bad, I mean to be compared to Fred and George, mum is going to be not too thrilled at that part” Ron complained, as Luke gave a small laugh, “Well, I know how you feel, mum’s going to be worried about how we’re showing signs of our father” he added as another voice filled the air, “I take it Draco didn’t show” they spoke and all three turned to see Hermione standing at the foot of the stairs, in her pale pinkie white dressing grown over her pyjamas, “I take it from your expressions he didn’t and you got caught” she added, “Professor Snape?” she asked, “No, Professor Quinn, then Snape, who was told we planned it on Draco, who didn’t show then we were taken to Professor McGonagell’s quarters where Administer Hearty was and we received our punishments” Leia explained, “I knew it, I knew it, Draco was trouble and you coped the punishment” she pointed out, “Enough, already, I don’t want to talk about what happened anymore” Luke cut in, before storming up the stairs followed by Ron, leaving Hermione and Leia left, “Let’s just get upstairs and try and get some sleep” Leia quickly spoke up, brushing past her, while Hermione let out a sigh of relief, he had kept his promise and not told them it was her, she knew they would hate her but she knew she had to inform someone, Draco was not good news she thought as she ascended the stairs back to her room.
[Now how’s this for another instalment of this juicy crossover: will Ron, Luke and Leia ever know how Jesse found them, is Sarah right to be concerned about the assistant to Professor Snape? With the approach of Christmas and winter fast approaching, there are some unexpected surprises popping up you won’t expect]

Chapter 8
Luke, Ron and Leia were not looking forward to the end of the week, not just because of all the homework they had been given but the looming detentions they had been given, especially Luke’s who started his first one on Friday night with Draco Malfoy in Professor Quinn’s office then on Saturday night, he was in another detention with Ron and Leia, with Professor McGonagell or maybe another Professor. Hermione had been so busy with all the homework they barely saw her, except for classes, Leia was the one who spent more time with her, studying and working in the library while Luke and Ron were distracted by exploring the grounds of Hogwarts, or playing down by the lake. Ever since Luke and Leia had read that page from the book Hermione had shown them, they felt different, like they knew the reason why people were talking to them or staring at them and Luke couldn’t help but feel like he was being watched by some Professors more than others.
Dragging his feet down the hall, towards his common room, he did not see Professor McGonagell strolling towards him, “Mr Skywalker, there you are” she told him, as he slowly raised his head, “What’s wrong?” he asked, “I have just been handed your detention details for tonight and tomorrow night. Mr Weasley, Miss Skywalker and Mr Malfoy have been handed their’s already, so you’re the last to receive your detention. You must be prompt to the teacher and listen to all instructions” she instructed him before brushing past him, as Luke stared at the piece of parchments in his hand, feeling his hand start to shake, he quickly folded back the parchments to reveal the details, which followed:
Mr Luke Skywalker,
Your detentions will be as followed: Tonight: Professor Quinn’s office Starting at: 8.00pm-you are asked to be prompted, showing this note to teachers or perfects who happen to stop you on the way to his office. You are to follow all instructions and orders with Professor Quinn and do not make an escape from the office, which only gives you another detention.
Saturday Night: You will report to Professor McGonagell with Mr Weasley and Miss Skywalker at exactly 8.00-lateness will not be tolerated. You will then be assigned to three other professors and you will carry out your detention with them, following ALL orders they issue to you
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagell Luke couldn’t believe the rules for detention. Prompt? No skipping out on detention? Listening to the Professor? This was all so strict, unlike the rules back home, he thought as he arrived back at the common room, where Leia and Ron were complaining about their detentions, Leia, sensing her brother in the room, abruptly turned around, “Can you believe this? This is rubbish! We shouldn’t even be given this!” she snapped as Luke shrugged, “But we did break the rules, by being out of bed at night, so we did deserve it” he replied in a low voice, as Leia stared in horror at him, “What! Now you’re agreeing with this! Last night, you argued with the teachers that it was unfair!” she reminded him as he shrugged once more, “I just want to get it over with so I don’t care about it being unfair” he informed her, seeing she was about to reply when another voice entered the room, “You’re both here” came the voice and all three turned to see Hermione, climb through the portrait entrance, “I was on my way to the library when I recognised your owl, Luke, flying back to the castle, so I went out to retrieve it’s message” she went on as Luke, suddenly remembered, he had sent his owl back home with a letter to mum and dad, “Yeah, thanks for that. Did you get the reply?” he asked, seeing her nod and hand over the letter, Leia, who had calm back down, moved over to where her brother stood, peering over his shoulder as he opened up the letter:
Luke, Leia,
It is great to hear from you so soon and glad to hear that you have made some new friends. We are concerned that you are getting into trouble too early in the school year, watch out for trouble and avoid trouble if possible. Obi Wan sends his greetings along with your father, who has been busy off world.
There is another reason to this reply-we understand that you were looking forward to coming back to Courscant for Christmas, however your father thinks that it would be wise to remain at the school as there have been numerous dangers around and feels you’ll be safer at school. Missing you terribly and sending all our love, along with a reminder to not make you missing home.
Love Mum and dad.
As Leia removed the letter from Luke’s grasp, Luke pulled out a small holo projector where Ron and Hermione eyed him curiously, as he hit the small, black button on the side, where two small, images appeared in front of him, smiling at him, were their parents, Anakin and Padme, dressed in their formal outfits, he wore his traditional Jedi garments while she wore a beautiful, stunning light yellow dress with sparkling heels, nudging his sister, she turned to smile at her parents, before ushering their friends over, who stared in awe at the two small images, “Whoa, I can’t believe those are your parents!” Ron exclaimed, causing three more students in the common room to move over as Luke replied, “It’s because we are staying here for Christmas” as Leia vented her anger once more, “I can’t believe this, I was looking forward to going back home and now we’re stuck here!” she exclaimed, as Luke looked to his sister, “They’re only protecting us” he told her, “From what! They knew something they don’t want us to know and I bet it has something to do with that prophecy we read” she pointed out, before storming off towards the portrait entrance and disappeared into the hall, Luke once again stared at the holo images of his parents, smiling at him, “You look amazingly like your dad” someone commented after they saw the image, as Luke smiled, “Thanks” he replied, pocketing in the letter, he dashed towards his room, “I better go get change for dinner” he told them.
Leia stormed through the long, moderately crowded corridors, she knew something was going on and needed some proper answers, hoping that the headmaster would help her understand it more, after all, he was the one who knew about them in the prophecy. She quietly ascended the stairs to his office after finally getting pass the statue, where she raised a nearly shaking hand to address herself before she jumped back, seeing the door open before she could touch it, “Leia, what brings you to the headmaster’s office?” asked Sarah, her lightly coloured eyes staring into her’s and Leia noticed something about her gaze, was something like how her mother looked at her, “I…I…was just wondering if I could speak to him about something bothering me” she replied, her voice quivering as Sarah simply smiled, “That’s fine. I was just on my way to see some teachers so you may enter” she told her, before brushing past her and Leia continued into the office.
It was nothing like Leia had seen before, portraits of previous headmasters and great wizards from around the world, looking down at her as she entered, books lined all the shelves reaching to the ceiling and there right next to the headmaster’s desk, on a wooden perch, was a beautiful, red and orange bird, looking down at her, as a soft, older voice broke the silent, “Leia, what brings you to my office?” he asked as Leia’s eyes moved up to the figure, descending the stairs, “Uh, I was wondering if you could help answer a question” she replied, “What troubles you?” he asked, “Uh, my friend showed me a page from a book in the library about my brother and me being some kind of prophecy and I wanted to know what it means and does it involve trouble” she explained, “Because Luke and I were just informed that we are staying here for Christmas instead of going home” she added, seeing him nod, “I see, well, I believe that you have every right to be concerned because with every prophecy there is trouble and your parents care for you two very much and don’t want to see you hurt” he answered her, “Your brother and you are the ones who can save our world from the evil dark lords from controlling us and if they manage to turn you, then we are doomed” he explained as Leia shook her head, “But we won’t turn, our father almost did and almost lost our mother” she argued, “Yes, however, the dark lords and their followers take with you treasure most and force you to turn to save their lives when they will kill them after you turn” he replied, as Leia realised, “So what you are saying is that, they are after us and to get to us, they take who will love most-our parents” she concluded, “Yes, but let’s us hope that that will not take place” he assured her as she felt herself tense up, “Thankyou for your answers” she politely replied, skipping out from the office.
Professor Dumbledore gave a slight smirk when he realised that he had more visitors, “Would you like to join us?” he asked, “Jesse and Sarah” he added with a smile, seeing the door reopen and in walked, Anakin and Padme, curious looks upon their faces, “You are wondering why Leia was here, are you?” he asked, “Is something else wrong?” Anakin asked as Dumbledore lifted his hand up, “It’s fine, all fine. It seems their friend showed them the book which spoke about them and she was curious so I helped her with her questions” he assured them, “Albus, something you said, concerns me. To turn Luke and Leia, they take what they treasure most, why did you not disagree when she said us?” Padme asked, her voice, a low whisper, “I’m afraid that is what they want. Luke and Leia love you and worry for you when you are away from them, ever since they were little right?” he asked, as they nodded, “Then that is what they do” he went on, Anakin turned to his beautiful, wife, pushing the long, blond locks from her eyes, “Then we’ll have to be extra careful” he smirked.
That night, dinner in the great hall contained the usual chatter, however, four people, remained silent. At the Gryiffindor table, Luke dreaded his coming detention with Draco, who remained unaffected when Luke looked over at the Slytherin table, Leia was still thinking about what Professor Dumbledore had explained to her-that their parents were in danger, while at the teacher’s table, Padme looked out at the students and over to her children, with fear, that she could lose them as well as her life while Anakin tried to remain calm but deep down, it was full of fear of losing his children and his wife just like when he suffered from visions of Padme dying in childbirth, forcing himself to eat, he could not help but wonder if there was no way they could avoid these troubles as he looked over at Luke and Leia, both ate silently, just listening to their friends asking them questions, of course some of them, they didn’t want to answer but just when it was time to leave, they silently exited the hall, followed by Ron and Hermione.
Following the students from the hall, the teachers all emerged, Anakin, Padme and Severus emerged at the same time, Severus casting a glare towards Anakin, “I hope that you go easy on Draco in detention tonight” he coldly spoke up, “I disapprove of my students in detention” he added as Anakin didn’t even flinch, “I will do what I have to, to get the message through that his attitude was uncalled for and not allowed in the classroom and especially when they involve another student’s parents” Anakin replied, “Not when it’s the truth?” he dryly answered back as Anakin stopped him and moved closer, “I would watch what you say around here, Snape, how I handle detentions is my business and I have more powerful than any mudblood ever has” Anakin shot back as Snape coldly smiled at him, “Obviously” he simply finished, descending the stairs to the dungeons as Padme smiled, “Anakin, sometimes you need to relax” she told him, “Not when there are people who are getting on my nerves” he replied, “I should get heading to my office to await for Luke and Draco” he added, moving off, “I’ll see you in the morning” he smiled as she gave a soft, gentle wave and moved off in the other direction.
Leia and Hermione positioned themselves on the red, cushy lounge by the warm fire, it’s orange glow bringing a source of light to them, Leia brought out the holo projector and activated it, smiling in awe at her parents, which brought a small tear to her eye, it pained her deeply to know she wasn’t seeing them at Christmas but also she could lose them, “It’s amazing that you look so much like your mother” Hermione gushed staring down at the image, “It’s all in the eyes and facial features” she added as Leia spoke, “I know, I really want to take after her. I was looking forward to going back and spending time with her in the Senate” she informed her as more voices were heard, “I just hope Malfoy doesn’t try anything on you tonight in detention, mate” Ron told him, “Professor Quinn will be there. Why would he do it with a teacher nearby?” Luke asked, “Because it’s Draco and he always does things he shouldn’t be doing” he answered him as Luke laughed, “I’d like to see him try or maybe I might secretly try something he’ll regret messing with me for” he smirked, passing Leia and Hermione, “I’ll see you later” he told the girls, disappearing out of the portrait entrance as Ron moved over to where the girls sat, “Do you think your brother will be alright?” he asked Leia, who simply looked down at her parent’s image, whispering, “I don’t know. I hope so. This is just unfair, because Draco may think our parents are mudblood but they are most certainly not!” she snapped, as Hermione and Ron jumped back a little, “We know they’re not, but you must not let Draco get you, it would be unwise” Hermione told her as she layed back against the lounge, “You’re right. I’ll try and forget about him” she smiled, staring once again at the holo projector of her parents.
Luke slowly approached the office of Professor Quinn, already having one encounter with a perfect with why he was out so late, and he did not want another one as he heard more footstep, “Thought you would try and get out of detention, Skywalker!” a voice yelled as Luke rolled his eyes, “Unlike some people, I want to avoid trouble and avoid detention so I want to get this over with” he replied, entering the classroom, and edging closer into the classroom, where Professor Quinn stood, just outside the door to his office, “Nice to see you arrive on time or at least early, maybe you’ll get to go early” he spoke as Draco rushed in, “That is pointless, so let’s get this over with” he spat, “Not pointless, teaching you that what you did in the class was unacceptable and you needed to be punished, so tonight, you will accompany me on a job” he informed them, “Not too far. Professors have been reporting of several disturbances out on the grounds, believing it’s dark magic at work” he went on, seeing Luke and even Draco, to his surprise, go pale, “So I’ve been asked to investigate and you will accompany me and hopefully it will show you that detention came be unpredictable” he smiled, moving towards the door, “So, let’s get a move on” he told them as they scuffled from the classroom, tailing close to Jesse as he headed down the front stairs and out onto the cold, dark grounds with the small, white stars twinkling above them as the grounds started to be covered with a fine, layer of white, crisp snow.
Luke suddenly sensed that they were not going to be alone as his eyes darted all around, towards the edge of the forbidden forest, where he thought he saw a black figure darting between the trees, but shook the thought away, keeping close to Jesse who seemed unafraid being out here. “This is stupid; we shouldn’t be doing this” Draco spoke up as Luke laughed, “If I didn’t know better, Draco, I could swear you were scared” he told him as Draco gave a nervous laugh, “Scared, no way. I’ve seen worse” he laughed, as another rustle of trees started again, “Okay, did you hear that?” he asked as Luke laughed nervously, “We’ll be fine, just stay close to the Professor” he reminded him as Jesse stopped and moved in the direction of the forbidden forest, “Stay close to me. I think we might have found something” he told them, edging closer towards the forest.
[What has Jesse or should I say, Anakin found? Is it trouble for the three? Will disaster strike just like Dumbledore told Leia? Will her parents be caught up in all the trouble? Plus, can Luke and Leia ever relax with their friends at school, like they wanted!]

Chapter 9
Leia couldn’t sleep, she was too worried about Luke, wondering how Luke was handling detention and with Draco, she really wished she could be there, so she leapt to her feet and headed towards the portrait entrance, checking to see if there were any perfects around, she disappeared into the hall, unaware of two other figures watching her.
“I can’t believe it. She’s always got a detention already and she stills doesn’t obey” Hermione whispered to Ron, “I know, but I’ve got one too, I don’t want another one” he replied, as Hermione just rolled her eyes, “Neither does Leia, but if she’s caught, she will lose points and another detention” she reminded him, “So let’s go and stop her” she pointed out, “But we don’t know where she went” Ron reminded her, “Luke had to be serve his detention under Professor Quinn, so naturally he’s at his office” she replied, disappearing down the hall as Ron bit his top lip, “This is not good. Why does this have to happen?” he asked, before running after Hermione.
Padme had become increasingly worried about what they had gotten themselves into-she had nearly lost Anakin when she was pregnant with Luke and Leia, she didn’t want to lose the twins this time. All this worry kept her wide awake, Dumbledore’s words echoed through her head “Luke and Leia love you and worry for you when you are away from them ever since they were little, then that it what they do” making her shiver, lost in her worries, she didn’t hear the door, creak open and a pale, gloved hand touched her shoulder, “You shouldn’t worry too much, there’s nothing to worry about” they spoke as she spun round, startled, “Oh it’s you” she replied, staring down at the cloak, figure of Snape’s assistant staring up at her, “What did you mean I shouldn’t worry?” she asked, edging back further away from the figure, “Yes, you are just a teacher, you shouldn’t worry about those twins. Shouldn’t you?” he asked, “I think I can worry about who I want for myself” she informed him, “And stop sneaking around me or I will have never allowed you to leave the dungeons” she ordered as he slipped a black glove hand into his cloak, “I would not threaten me around here or you might not live to see the students again” he laughed as Padme became angry, “I want you out!” she yelled, and with a violent shove, she shoved him out the door, slamming it shut behind her, when her hands started to tremble before she moved over to her bed, feeling soft, clear tears fall down her face, What was going on here? Were they any safer here than back home? She wondered.
Edging more and more towards the forbidden forest, the rustling grew louder and louder, Luke started to feel like this was a bad idea, almost wanting to back away towards the castle but it seemed that Draco was more afraid of the forest than he was as they saw Jesse edge more and more towards the forest, still feeling uncomfortable using a wand and not his lightsaber, he raised his wand, using it’s light, just a the trees rustled more and Luke’s eyes widen in horror as a black cloaked figure appeared into the light, “Who are you? What are you doing around here?” Jesse asked, holding his voice strong as the voice spoke, very deeply and nearly a whisper, “I am only carrying out my business, which doesn’t involve you” he spoke, meanwhile Draco was already scared and turned on his heel and ran towards the castle, leaving Luke and Jesse with the cloaked figure, Luke watched as Jesse held him off until he was thrown metres away, leaving Luke, “At last, we have found you and soon your sister and you will join us” they spoke as Luke felt like he couldn’t move, frozen in his spot, he couldn’t move or run and he didn’t have Professor Quinn protecting him, faced with this cloaked figure, he didn’t know what to think or do, when he suddenly saw a spark of red fly over his head, “Stupefy!” he heard some yell, and turned to see Professor Snape hurrying towards them, Draco standing on the front steps, the figure slowly edged back into the forest as Luke suddenly rushed after Professor Quinn followed by Snape, finding him laying unconscious a few metres away, a large, gash on the right hand side of his face as Snape managed to use his wand to levitate him, ushering Luke forward towards the castle as Luke gave one last glance back out at the forest: his mind on one thing: who was that cloaked figure and what did he mean by Leia and him will soon join them?
Leia couldn’t believe that Luke was no where in the castle, she had barely avoided being caught trying to find them, she had just rounded another corner back to the common room when Hermione and Ron were running towards her, “What are you guys doing out of the common room?” she asked, “We were trying to follow you before you got in more trouble, when we had turned the corner from the entrance hall where we saw Professor Snape emerging back into the castle with Luke and Draco and Professor Quinn, who was unconscious!” she exclaimed as Leia became shocked, “Oh no! How was Luke?” she asked, “He looked quiet and shocked about something” Ron spoke up, “We should get back though so we aren’t in trouble and wait for Luke” Hermione pointed out as Leia paused, she didn’t want to but she had a point, they had to avoid trouble and just wait for Luke to come back.
Headmaster Dumbledore, Administer Hearty, Professor McGonagell and Professor Snape now all stood in the hospital wing after bringing up Jesse to the hospital wing where he was just resting now after being treated and they had listened to Luke’s account on what they had seen, how it attacked the Professor, what they had spoken to Luke and Draco running off, Dumbledore and Sarah exchanged a glance together at hearing his story, they knew what the cloaked figure had meant, but what was he doing on the grounds. Were the evil lords already planning to strike? They didn’t know, they wouldn’t almost certainly have to be more careful as Professor McGonagell escorted Luke back to his common room as Professor Snape escorted Draco back his common room while Padme moved over to Anakin’s side, stroking his face, “Dumbledore, this is getting worse. We came here to protect Luke and Leia and now our lives are endangered” she cried, as Dumbledore moved to console her, “I know you feel afraid about what is happening, but I promise you I will prevent this from going any further” he assured her as Padme gave a slight smile, “I appreciate that” she replied, moving over to the window not too far from where Anakin lay, as a fresh batch of snow started to fall onto the ground, the pure white colour fell on top of the layers of green grass was covered with snow-such a fresh, beautiful sight, did not reflect the atmosphere in the castle at that moment.
Ron and Hermione had headed upstairs to get some rest but Leia could not sleep, so she paced the common room, wondering what had happened with Luke outside while he was in detention. She as busily watching the snow fall down onto the grounds when another voice spoke, “Didn’t think you would be up” as she turned around, seeing Luke shuffled into the common room, “Hermione and Ron told me that they saw emerge back into the castle with Professor Snape and Professor Quinn was unconscious” she told him, her voice fast and almost of breath as Luke gave a shrug, “Well, we were there because there had been some disturbances believed to be dark magic and while we were out there, we can face to face with this cloaked figures. They knocked out Professor Quinn, Draco fled and left me” he recounted to Leia as she flew her arms around his neck, “Oh, and what happened?” she asked, “He said something really strange” he went on, seeing Leia looked confused, “Something like soon your sister and you will join us” he finished, as she gasped, “Oh no, it’s happening” she cried now it was Luke’s turn to wear the blank expression, “What?” he asked, “After we receive that message from mum and dad and I stormed off, I went to his Dumbledore who helped me with my questions. He said that you and me are the only ones who could stop the dark lords controlling this world and if we fall they win and they take what will treasure most to target us” she informed him, “So, they’ll go after our parents?” he asked as she nodded, “Yes! Our parents are in danger!” she exclaimed as Luke sighed, “Why does everything happen to us?” he asked out loud as Leia shook her head, “I don’t know. We have to find some way to protect our parents” she told him, “How? Maybe that’s why they want us here, so we don’t endanger their lives by coming home in case we’re followed” he suggested, “I’m not sure but we’ll think of something” she assured him.
The cloaked figure slowly returned to the old, supposedly emptied manor, where the only lights came from the very top of the manor, he knew he had to face them, he knew he would have to report his failure-he had neither twin or neither parent of the twins, now they remained safe in Hogwarts. As he crept into the foyer, another voice spoke, “You didn’t bring anyone back with you?” they asked, “Don’t start” he hissed, ascending the stairs towards the rooms where he saw more figures and another one with his hands in front of him, “You have failed me” the voice hissed, sending a shiver down his spine, “I was attacked just as I had them, I had Anakin and Luke Skywalker in my grasp and Professor Snape attacked me” he informed him, as the figure snapped, “You should have killed him, you know the spell!” his red white eyes flashed into his’s, raising his wand, “Now, it will harder to catch them off guard and will have to strike when they less suspect it” he told him, he aimed his wand at the him, dreading what he would do, he was unprepared, “Crucio” he spoke and he felt like some sharp pain soar through his body, ripping him apart before it stopped after several minutes, “I hate to do this again” the voice hissed, “Return to your position and in a few days, I will issue a new order: and you will not fail” he hissed as the figure turned towards the door, “Yes, my lord. I will not fail, they will be ours” he assured him.
Leia couldn’t sleep much that night, the holo images of her pictures activated on her night table, smiling at her, Leia felt a small tear down her face, she didn’t want to lose her parents. She loved them, they protected her. They played with her when she was little, starting to feel sleepy, she slowly rested her head against the softness of her pillow, her last thoughts were of her parents.
Leia sat in the room, playing with her beautiful, dazzling dolls when she noticed the brush she had been holding, started to lift out of her hand and she looked confused until she looked round at the door to see her father, smiling at her, in his hand was her brush she had been using, a bright smile lit her face, “Daddy!” she exclaimed, slowly coming to her feet, she ran into her father’s open arms, who lifted her into his arms, “Where have you been, daddy?” she asked, her bright brown eyes staring at him, “I have been with your uncle Obi Wan today but I missed you” he smiled as she threw her arms around him, “Miss you daddy” she replied as he gave her a light kiss before he started to kiss her, “Come on, let’s go find Luke and mummy” he told her as another voice filled the air, “Looking for us?” she asked, as Anakin smiled, “Of course” he smirked, sharing a passionate kiss with Padme as Luke bounced up and down, “Daddy!” he exclaimed, as he lifted him into his arms, handing Leia to Padme, who threw her arms around Padme’s neck, before she picked up the japor snippet in her gasp, “Mummy’s got a pretty necklace” she giggled as Leia felt her mother hold her close, “Oh Leia, my little sweetie” she whispered, watching Anakin play with Luke, who giggled as he watched his father lift up a small object using the force, circling it around Luke, who was trying to catch it in his small hands as Leia rested her small head against her Padme’s soft, cool shoulder.
While Leia had finally fell asleep on a peaceful memory, Luke was having a restless dream or nightmare, seeing his parents being tortured, his mother’s screams for them to stop and his father trying to fight back before being overpowered by dark figures, much like the figure he saw tonight. His bright blue eyes snapped open as he felt the sweat drip down off his forehead, that was horrible, his parents were screaming. He needed to talk to someone, he didn’t want worry his sister anymore, but perhaps Hermione knew a little something about dark magic from a book she’s seen or something or maybe even their Defence against the dark arts teacher. He needed to know how dangerous magic can be. He popped his head back against his pillow, his eyes still wide awake, as he once again heard the screams of his parents, crying out in pain as another laughed, aiming their wand at Anakin and Padme, shouting “Crucio”. He had to find out what that word meant, because when he did he would finally understand and be able to explain his dreams/nightmares more.
[Wow, what a chapter! An encounter with one of the evil lord’s followers, almost succeeding. How will they go now and what is this new plan that he has devised to destroy them for goo? You’ll have to wait and see!]

Chapter 10
As December rolled into Hogwarts, the grounds were covered a thick layer of snow and the once beautiful blue lake was now iced all over the top, as students trudged through the snow to get to their classes, the interesting class was seeing how they would fly broomsticks with all the snow, something that excited the first years because they would be attending their third class today, chatting excitedly as they made their way towards the class, Luke hung back with Hermione, allowing Leia to walk ahead with Ron this time, he didn’t know how to ask the question, “Uh, Hermione, I had a question I needed to ask” he spoke, “What’s wrong, Luke?” she asked, “I needed to know, did you know or read any thing about dark magic?” he asked seeing her gasp, “Why did you want to know that?” she asked, a look of horror across her face, “I didn’t want to talk about it, but I kind of had a nightmare about my parents being tortured and this figure kept saying crucio at them” he recounted as Hermione stared in disbelief, “We haven’t learnt them as we’re too young but there are curses that are used in horrible situations” she replied. “Do you know them?” he asked, eager to know, “I can find that out at the library later on” she assured him as he smiled, “Thanks, I just needed to know. I hate to see parents getting hurt” he told her, “Your parents look so nice, why would anyone want to hurt them?” she asked as Luke sighed, “Before I was born, they were always targeted because of who they were, my mother even had attempts on her life before my father and his master was sent to protect her” he informed her, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know” Hermione whispered, “It’s okay” he told her, still thinking if these dreams were connected with what Leia said about them and the prophecy-would their parents be hurt because of them?
As Luke and Hermione arrived to the broomstick course, there was no sign of their teacher but all their friends and of course, Draco Malfoy, who was recounting his “near death” experience last night outside the forest, Luke just rolled his eyes as he moved over to where Leia and Ron stood, “He’s really thick, isn’t he?” Ron asked as Leia laughed, “That’s for sure” as Malfoy’s voice became louder when he saw Luke and his friends, “I thought I was about to died when this figure stood over me” he informed the group as Luke laughed, “Oh yeah, that’s what happen” he spoke up, as Draco looked coldly at him, “And I suppose you remember, since you ran away” he laughed as Luke gave a fake laugh, “No, that was you. I was left with him and saw him knock out Professor Quinn. Besides, if you were there, what did the figure say?” he asked as Draco froze, all eyes on him, “That I was to die” he quickly replied as Luke laughed again, “No he didn’t. He said it to me and it was about Leia and me” he told him as Draco smirked, “Then I hope he does get rid of you two as well as your fifthly mudblood parents” he shot back as Luke felt his fist tightened but before he could snap back, it was Leia to act, storming right up to Draco, grabbing him by his robes, “How dare you say that! Our parents are not mudbloods, they are decent people and are even better than your shallow father! My father could finish your father off easily” she snapped as she felt Draco trembled in her gasp as other students began to snigger at this amusing sight, watching Leia release her grip on Draco, kicking cold, fresh snow right in front of him, “You’ll get more than that, if I hear another word about our parents” turning sharply on her heel back towards a stunned Hermione and Ron and Luke, who wasn’t surprised at Leia’s actions-most of their parent’s friends said that Leia had picked up their father’s anger while he picked up their’s mother’s gentleness as they saw their professor strolling towards them.
Security had tightened around Hogwarts and rumours were starting to circulate, although no one knew the real reason except for Dumbledore, Padme, Anakin, Severus, Minerva and Luke who had told Leia, Hermione and Ron which shocked all of them-if Death Eaters cold get onto the grounds of the school, they cold strike during outdoor classes, a concern Padme had decided to bring up with Dumbledore that morning in his office while the students were in classes.
“It just concerns me that’s all. I mean, Luke and Leia could be attacked on their way to classes and I think that Snape’s assistant knows about us being here because in his recent interaction with me, I sort of got the impression he knew about us” Padme explained, while she paced anxiously up and down the office as Dumbledore quietly sat back in his chair, taking in her considerations and worries, “I understand your concerns and I am suspicious of him Professor Snape did inform me that during his first class with the first years, his assistant was hovering around Luke and Leia for the duration of the class” he replied as Padme spun round to face him, “You see, this is serious, what if h turns out to trick us. I mean in a few days the castle will have only a handful of students because of the holidays. What if he tries something then?” she asked, as he slowly raised a hand, “I can assure you that with security tightened, nothing should happen. Hogwarts walls are perfectly safe, they may enter the grounds but not the castle” he assured her as she sank back down into her seat, flicking her long, blond locks behind her ears, “I hope so. I just hope so” she replied, before opening up her rolls of parchment, “Now, we should resume our work” she informed him, before she started jotting down notes onto the parchment.
“I always thought flying a broomstick was hard, but I found it to be rather easy” Luke boasted as they trudged across the snow towards the greenhouses for Herbology as Hermione laughed, “I knew you wouldn’t have a problem, especially if you like flying high and fast in speeders” she replied as Luke looked over at her curiously, “What? How did you know that?” he asked, “Leia told me during class. She said Luke will love this” she answered him as Luke looked a little embarrassed, as Leia gave him a playful shrug, “Don’t look too embarrassed Luke, remember dad was a skilled pilot and loved racing around. He won that race when he was nine years old” she reminded him as Ron couldn’t believe it, “What! Your dad won a race when he was nine!” he yelled as Luke rolled his eyes, “Yeah, he did. Long story and not a good time to recount it” he replied, entering the greenhouse as Ron laughed, “Still I reckon he would have to be pretty skilled at nine, when I was nine, I was trying to learn spells off my brothers not doing high speed races” he laughed, taking their seats as Professor Sprout emerged into the classroom, “Good afternoon, first years” smiling cheerful as she greeted them who echoed back their greeting as Leia’s eyes moved over to the long, deep brown table, lined with a variety of strange, assorted plants, leaning over to Hermione, she whispered, “Do you think that we’ll be studying those today?” she asked as Hermione followed her gaze over to the table, “I hope so, we’re ready to start on those types” she told her, trying to conceal the excitement in her voice as Leia laughed, maybe it would be a fun lesson today, she thought.
The old, hardly lit manor just outside the village, was filled with dark, cloaked figures entering the large, opened brass doors, the dark lords had called them all here for a special meeting and brushing the snow off their cloaks, they felt the warmness of the orange bright well lit fire warm them as a voice filled the air, “Welcome, once again. So glad to see that you have all come as we have exciting news to report” the voice informed them, “As you know, the children of the prophecy are here, at Hogwarts, along with their parents, meaning our time is close” they went on, “Our plan will strike on Christmas night, with the capture of Anakin and Padme Skywalker” he explained to them as the room gasped, “Hogwarts is tightening their security, it will impossible” one spoke up as the dark lord raised a bony, pale finger, “Ah, but because it will on Christmas evening, they will be Unexpecting the attack. Hoping to have some time alone together, they will retreat out to the grounds where we will ambush and capture them” he snapped back, silencing the person, “My lord, if we are attacking them at Christmas, why not just go after the children” came the cold, creepy voice of Lucious Malfoy, as the dark figure spun around, “Because Lucious, the prophecy says that to turn them over to us, we must target the ones they love and their parents are loving and protecting of them and we must destroy them for Luke and Leia to turn” he sneered before going on, “Lucious, you will lead the death eaters onto the grounds and meet up with our spy on the inside and capture Anakin and Padme, Christmas eve night. Be sure that they are in the grounds and no one else is in sight. Do not fail” he hissed as Lucious nodded slowly, “I will not disappoint you” he replied, before everyone adjourned from the living quarters. By the time, Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron were allowed some time off, all Luke and Ron wanted to do was catch some rest, confused at why Leia and Hermione decided to head off to the library to do more work, turning the corner to their common room, Luke spoke first, “Leia reminds me of mum sometimes” as Ron climbed into the portrait hole first, “Why do you say that?” he asked, over his shoulder, “Because when we were little, dad would always tell us how mum’s working and we can’t disturb her even at home” he replied, continuing to the spiral staircase as Ron took his place by the fire, “Where are you going?” he asked, “I didn’t have much sleep last night and I figured I would get some sleep before dinner” Luke told him as Ron pointed out, “I’ll come up before I leave for dinner” as Luke ascended the stairs, “Thanks!” he yelled back before entering their quarters.
Dumping his books and bag in front of his bed, he slowly moved over to his bed, sitting down, he glanced over at the moving holo projector on his side table-his parents had recently sent them one each, with more images that changed, he smiled at the current image, Anakin was holding Leia while Padme was holding him, pointing at something and smiling at them, Luke didn’t realise how hard this was, being away from them, but he was too tired and allowed his tired eyes to rest.
“Crucio!” the cold, dark voice shouted once again as sparks flew out of his long, pointed wand as the sprawled worn figure of Anakin, who squirmed once more, like his body was on fire, and his arms and legs would fall off as the voice spoke, “You are strong indeed but not strong in every area” he told him, and with a swish of his wand, Anakin painfully raised his head and saw Padme dragged in front of him, her clothes were ripped and her eyes were stained with tears as Anakin screamed out, “Don’t you hurt her!” he told him as the voice laughed, “No, I won’t but you will” he told him, pointing his word at Padme, thin, white straps quickly wrapped around her as the wand moved back to Anakin, “Imperio!” he shouted at Anakin and he felt himself rising up towards the dark figure, like he was a puppet, “Now you will see how dangerous I can be” he whispered into his ear, “Alert your children to come here or suffer” he added as Anakin remained silent, “Fine, have it your way” he told him, handing him a wand to him while holding his’s at Anakin, he ordered him, “Crucio!” he told him and Anakin was powerless, to stop it coming out of his mouth and was forced to watch his beloved cry out as the same pain that ripped through Anakin’s body ripped through her gentle body and he couldn’t stop it.
Luke’s bright blue eyes snapped open and he lurched upright on his bed, finding Ron staring at him in confusion as he watched him wipe sweat off his face, “Bloody hell, mate, what happened?” he asked as Luke shook his head, “I had a bad dream” he replied, with a voice that was shaking and almost a whisper, “What are doing up here?” he asked, “I said I was going to get you before I left for dinner” he reminded him as Luke slowly came onto his feet, “Thanks” he replied, as Ron looked at him, “What happened in the dream?” he asked as Luke shook his head, “I saw my parents, in a dark room with several other cloaked figures, they were screaming in pain and one of the figures made my dad torture mum” he informed him as Ron gasped, “Bilmey, that’s awful” he replied, descending the stairs and towards the exit just as Hermione and Leia were re-entering, Leia sensed something wrong, “What’s wrong?” she asked, her deep brown eyes darting back and forth from Luke and Ron as Luke shrugged, “Just a bad dream” he told them trying to get past as Ron spoke up, “Tell them mate” as Luke, didn’t bother to turn around but looked down, “I had a bad dream, where someone was torturing dad then made dad torture mum” he recounted, brushing past and into the hallway as Leia ran after him, “What! Luke! Wait!” she shouted, running after him, leaving Ron and Hermione.
Picking up Leia’s and her’s books up off the carpeted floor and onto the nearby table, Ron saw her shiver, “Are you alright?” he asked as she shrugged, “Just thinking about what Luke just said. He asked me something recently about curses” she replied as Ron’s eyes nearly fell from his eyes, “What? Why?” he asked as Hermione shook her head, “I don’t know, something about a dream he had” she answered, moving out of the common room as Ron shivered, “You don’t think this is a connected somehow?” he asked as Hermione continued down the hall, “I hope not, but Luke need to speak to his parents about this. They might be able to help him” she called over her shoulder as Ron became silent and followed her into the Great hall.
Still in pain from his encounter with the dark figure, Anakin couldn’t understand what had entirely happened that night but Padme had filled him in, and what Luke had recounted, and this troubled her deeply. Had their friends being right about what lies ahead for their children? This couldn’t be happening, they had come here to watch over their twins in secret and instead, they were the ones in need of protection. If it wasn’t for his secret communications with Obi Wan, he would never know anything, Luke had been sending messages to the home, of course, he didn’t know anything but Anakin had being telling him what to say in the messages. Now he strolled the castle towards the great hall for another delicious meal when he was joined by more voices, “Jesse! There you are! How are you feeling since your encounter?” they asked and Anakin turned to see Professors Dumbledore and McGonagell and Administer Hearty walking towards him, he gave a small smile, “Still some pain but getting better every day” he replied as Dumbledore gave a warm smile, “It is good to see that. Security has been tightened and you’ll be pleased to hear that since that night, no other dark disturbances have been reported” he informed as Anakin smiled, “That’s great. I hope that never happen again” he told him as they strolled past him and he saw Sarah remain behind.
He gently took her hand in his’s, “What’s wrong sweetie?” he asked as she looked up into his deep coloured eyes, “Just concerned about what’s being happening” she replied as Anakin smiled, “You heard Dumbledore, no more reports, they have been quiet ever since” he smiled as she gave a smile, “For now, but what if they return, Luke told us that the figure wanted Leia and him” she began to cry as Anakin pulled her in close, “I will not allow that to happen, that is why I am here in the first place, to protect you and the children” he assured, lifting up her chin, he gave a cheeky grin and gave her a romantic kiss before adding, “Come on, let’s go get something to eat” he told her, continuing towards the great hall. [Ah! What have we here? What is Luke experiencing? Why these nightmares and what will happen to Anakin and Padme? Will the dark lords plans succeed on Christmas night? Will Leia and Luke see their parents again? You’ll have to keep reading to find out!]

Chapter 11
A thick, white layer had completed covered the once grassy greens of Hogwarts as the weeks rolled by and a Christmas atmosphere started to filled the castle, a large, green pine tree had been carried into the castle and decorated with beautiful gold and silvery decorations as well as decorations all over the castle, Luke and Leia had never seen anything like this before, never at the Jedi Temple, had they seen in decked out like this, everyone was getting into the mood and Luke had soon forgotten about his horrible dreams about his parents and allowed the happier, joyous atmosphere in the castle to fill him up except the mountain load of homework they had been given for the holidays didn’t help to brighten up the mood.
Scrolling through her huge workload on her desk, Padme was so caught up in that’s she didn’t hear or see the approaching figure creep into her room, with his hands behind his back and a cheeky, mischievous grin across his face as he crept behind her, tapping her lightly on the shoulder, startled, Padme spun around, only to see Anakin’s bright, deeply beautiful eyes staring down at her, with his arm stretched above her head, “Look up” he whispered as Padme raised her light coloured eyes up to see a small piece of mistletoe above their head, smiling back, she replied, “Oh Ani” as he informed her, “You have to kiss me, it’s the rules” pulling her in closer with his other arm and together they shared a tender, passionate kiss together, “Decided on what to get Luke and Leia for Christmas?” he asked as they slowly broke away after their kiss, “I just notified Obi Wan of what to buy for them, from home and in Diagon Alley and he will secretly send them up here, the night before Christmas” she smirked as he bent low to whisper into her ear, “What about me?” he asked, as she touched his face with a gentle, soft hand, “Yes, you too, something very special” she smirked, with another sweet kiss on his soft lips as he smirked, “I have a special surprise for you too but you’ll have to wait for Christmas Night” he told her before adding, “Might I suggest wearing one of your beautiful dresses” as she wrapped her arms around his neck, “Oh Ani, you know how make to me blush” she replied, before she gentled gave a light squeeze of his strong hand. “This is unbelievable. Can you believable all this work they gave us over the holidays!” Ron exclaimed as they made their way out into the Hogwart grounds, towards the lake, “I know, it’s like they don’t want us to have any fun” echoed Luke, who had picked up a small ball of snow and hurled it at his sister who had been walking not too far ahead of them with Hermione, who turned angrily towards her brother, “You are so dead” she told him, picking up some snow and making a much rounder, larger ball and hurling it in his direction, which knocked him flat on his back in the cold, fresh snow as Ron let out a wave of laughter before Luke glared at him, hurling an even larger snow ball directly at him, “Now who’s laughing huh?” Luke laughed as Leia and Hermione started to laugh as Ron and Luke smirked evilly at them, “Oh yeah, what are you laughing at? Join in!” Ron smirked and with that, both boys heaved two snow balls directly at Leia and Hermione, hitting them and caused the snow to splash into their face, not amused by what had happened, they gasped in shock as Ron and Luke rolled around in the snow, laughing before a sinister familiar voice entered the air, “Well, well, what do we have here? Out to cause more trouble, are we?” they asked as all eyes turned to see Draco and his two loyal, but stupid followers behind him, “Why ruin a perfectly good afternoon, Draco?” Luke asked, as Draco laughed, “I’m surprised, that they let you out, seeing how you were nearly killed by that dark figure” he taunted him as Luke edged closer as Ron held him back, and Leia and Hermione moved more closer, “So I guess we know who’s side your on then?” Leia piped up as Draco laughed, “Perhaps, but seeing what the teachers are saying about you later, I’m surprised they haven’t been warning you more” he spoke up, shoving them as he brushed past them, Luke had had enough, using his skills, he rolled a huge snow ball in his hands, and aimed it directly at Draco, straight at the back of his blond big head as Ron, Leia and Hermione began to snigger, “You stay away from us! Or that snow ball won’t be the last thing to hit you!” Luke exclaimed, as Leia laughed, “Well done, couldn’t have done it better myself” she told him as Hermione spoke up, “I think he’ll think twice before he’ll cross you again” before they continued to head towards the frozen lake where they could relax more and enjoy their time in the snow.
Watching from his glass, window in his office, Anakin could not help but smile at his two children, considering what they were up against, they had fitted in nicely, making new friends who were more than pleased to hang around with them, he knew that they would hate if anything had happen to Padme or himself, going back to when they were little, they would always worry when Obi Wan, Padme or himself had dangerous business to take care of, so Anakin ensured him that he would allow anything else to happen and turned back to his brown, oak desk where he was running through the surprise he had prepared for Padme on Christmas night, using his Jedi tricks, he would decorate the area around the lake with small lights and floating decorations from the Christmas and Dumbledore had found him a few spells he could use, it would be perfect and it was happening at night because no student would be out and they would be totally alone……or so he would think. Being one of the evil lord’s followers taught him a few things about masking his presence to which he used greatly to spy on students and teachers’, including conversations that Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia were discussing or planning, like the special surprise Anakin was planning for his wife on Christmas night, which ironically happened to be the night that they would be captured for the evil lord, he knew it was that night because he couldn’t help but overhear a while ago, an interesting conversation between Anakin and Dumbledore:
“I think that this is wonderful idea Anakin, assuring that all students will remain in their quarters” Dumbledore smiled at Anakin, who had just informed him of his surprise for Padme, “Well, it’s Christmas night, most of the students will be at their homes for the holidays and the few who are here will remain in the castle, still fearful of another attack from a Death Eater” Anakin explained as Dumbledore nodded, “I see, well, I know a few magical spells that could assist you in making your night special” he went on, slowly coming to his feet and moving over to a nearby bookshelf and pulled out a large, hard back brown book, “This shall assist you” he told him, placing it in front of Anakin, opening into to the very middle, Anakin moved up to have a closer look, “I appreciate the help very much” Anakin replied as he listened to Dumbledore’s instructions to ensure that the spells didn’t backfire and everything went before for their first Christmas together in this new world.
Immediately after hearing this conversation, he had contacted his master who had smirked in delight and informed him that the plan will still proceed and he will meet Lucious on the east side of the castle grounds away, not too far from the lake and then they ambush them.
Deciding to take a break from all the snow falling, Leia and Hermione brushed the snow off their warm clothes and decided to take walk, leaving Luke and Ron to continue their snowball fight, “Tell me again the story of your parents and when they first fell in love” Hermione spoke up, Leia had first explained the story when their second holo projectors arrived as Leia looked down, kicking some snow with her black pinkish boots, “You really want to hear it again?” she asked as Hermione gushed, “I think it’s beautiful, truly beautiful” as Leia blushed, okay, “I tell you the story of their first kiss they shared this time” she told her as Hermione’s face lit up, “Oh I love to hear that one” she replied as Leia cleared her throat, “Okay, well, it was quite a few years ago, my mother was a Senator for her home planet and my father was still a Jedi apprentice and when she came back to Courscant for a very important Senate meeting, she found herself the target of assignation attempts on her life and my father and his master were instructed to protect her anyway after another attempt, they decided it was best if my father escorted my mother back to her home planet to which she did not like at first” Leia informed her, taking another, deep breath before she continued, “They left for Naboo, and after meeting with the Queen and introducing my father to her family, they left for the remote lake country where my mother had a family lake retreat there” seeing Hermione start to speak, “So they were married at this time?” she asked as Leia shook her head, “No, not yet, they were old friends at this time” she informed her, before going on, “They arrived at the lake retreat and my mother wore a beautiful pink and cream long dress and my father wore his traditional Jedi robes, they took a stroll through the retreat until they came to the balcony overlooking the water and after a few minutes, he started to stroke her arm then her back before he gave a smirk, and leaned in, my mother told me that she could not resist his beautiful blue eyes, Luke has the same colour eyes, she allowed her self to let him kiss her and she told me it was so beautiful, soft against hers until she stopped” Leia recounted as Hermione looked confused “Why?” she asked, “Because my father was a Jedi, they were forbidden to marry and she couldn’t risk that” she answered her, “But at the start of the war, he took her back and they were married at the same retreat. When we get back to the common room, I’ll show you the wedding picture our droid took” she told her as Hermione smiled more, “I would like that” she beamed.
Leia turned back to Luke and Ron, “Snow boys! Let’s get heading up to dinner!” she yelled watching Luke and Ron stop their tackling game and ran over to where the girls stood before racing further, “Last one to dinner, goes hungry!” Luke yelled back as Leia yelled ahead, “You’re cheating!” she argued back, turning to Hermione, “You are so lucky not to have a brother” she told her before running after the boys.
The Great Hall looked so empty since that day had been spent with students exiting the castle to head home for the holidays, which caused Leia and Luke to feel slightly homesick because they were still here, although some students were leaving tomorrow including Hermione, Ron was leaving but his parents were visiting on of his older brothers for this holiday, at least they would have company, Draco, thankfully was leaving tomorrow for the holidays. Luke and Leia sat at their long, half filled table, just thinking about their parents and if they were missing them, were they caught up in the amount of workload and did they spend their nights missing their children. Not wanting to dread too much on home, Luke and Leia shook their heads from these thoughts and chatted away with their friends, enjoying another filling array of meals.
Dismissed from the great hall, Luke, Leia, Ron and Hermione were the first to exit, as Hermione wanted to see Leia’s parents wedding picture and she had to do some more packing although Ron and Luke just wanted to hang out and not do any work, saying they would leave it to after Christmas, as they reached the portrait entrance, Leia dashed up the stairs, “Where she going?” Luke asked, confused at why his sister had dashed off so quickly, “She’s just getting something of importance” Hermione smirked, watching Leia reappear down the stairs, “Okay, here it is” she told her, pulling Hermione closer to her, she pressed a small, black button and an image of Padme, dressed in a beautiful, long white laced wedding dress with matching veil, her brown curls felling past her face, as she wrapped her arms around Anakin’s waist, who was dressed in his Jedi robes, a bright cheery smile across his face, “Oh Leia, they look so cute together” Hermione replied in awe as Luke and Ron each looked at each other, rolling their eyes, sticking their tongues out in disgust, “I’m going upstairs to drop my books off enough of this mushy girly stuff” Luke complained, ascending the stairs as Ron flopped over to the lounge while Hermione and Leia stood nearby, watching the holo projector change different images of Anakin and Padme.
Shortly after Luke had dropped his books and bag at the foot of his bed, he smiled over at the image of his parents, this time the image was one taken shortly after their birth, Anakin cradled little Luke in his strong arms, smiling down at Padme, who cradled little Leia in her arms, lost in the images, Luke suddenly felt a whispered voice run through the air, “You will lose the ones you love shortly” the voice spoke as Luke looked around, trying to see he could find the voice, “You will fall into the darkness and help destroy Hogwarts” the voice spoke once again, as Luke struggled to block out the voice, throwing his pillow over his face and ears, it wasn’t long before the cool, softness of his familiar pillow, forced him to sleep.
“I need your children” the voice told Anakin, who was held back by two Death eaters, paining still shooting through his body, his face now filled with cuts and blood, “I’ll never bring you Luke and Leia” he spat through his teeth as the figure laughed, using his wand to lift up Anakin’s chin so his red eyes pierced straight through Anakin’s strong blue eyes, “Are you sure you won’t reconsider? He asked as Anakin remained silent while the figure simply clicked his figure and two more death eaters brought out a struggling, Padme, cuts all over her arms and face, eyes red from crying and her beautiful dress ripped all over, Anakin struggled to reach her, “Don’t you hurt her like last time!” he threatened as the figure laughed, “No, I have another way. Bring Luke and Leia to me or she dies” he informed him as Padme gasped “No!” staring at Anakin as Anakin stared straight at him, “Kill us both because I’ll never bring you my children” he told him, locking eyes with Padme, as the figure spoke, “Very well, I bring them myself, so long” he replied, aiming his wand straight at Padme’s chest, he shouted, “Avada Kedavra! As a flash of bright green light in her straight in the chest and she fell to the ground as he moved the wand towards Anakin, and a flash of green light hit him straight in the chest causing him to fall back not too far from where Padme layed as the figure simply laughed, laughed and laughed.
Luke tossed and tossed in his bed, throwing his sheets and pillows in array, as Ron and Hermione stood back in complete shock at what was happening while Leia slowly positioned her self near a fighting Luke, “Luke? Luke! Please what’s wrong?” she asked trying to stop him, placing a hand over his arm, she had been downstairs when she had sensed something wrong and dashed upstairs with their friends to find Luke thrashing about, trying to calm him, he finally stopped, jumping right off the bed, staring at Leia, who’s face showed she was scared, “What’s wrong? I sensed something was wrong to find you fighting your bed” she informed him, as Luke wiped the rushing sweat off his forehead, taking deep breaths, “I heard a voice then trying to block it, fell asleep and saw someone ordering dad to bring us to him, he refused and in the end, he killed mum and dad with a flash of green light” he informed her now it was Ron turn to gasp, “Bilmey, that’s the worse curse anyone can use, according to the Ministry of Magic” he pointed out, “What is it?” asked Leia, her voice shaky, “It’s a killing curse, no one can stop it, it happens so quickly” he replied as Luke moved back to Leia, “Leia, this is getting worse, someone is out to get us and is using our parents, I feel these nightmares are warnings, to us” he told her, as she looked like she was about to cry, “You need to tell mum and dad about this then speak to someone here” Leia informed him, choking back the tears in her soft, brown eyes as he moved to comfort her, “I will, first thing tomorrow, I promise” he assured as she tried to smile, “Thanks, I have to go” she cried, running from the room, followed by Hermione as Ron moved over to Luke, “Are you alright now, mate?” he asked as Luke gave a slight nod, “For now, but I don’t know how much more I can take. This is serious” he confessed, staring back at the image of his parents, which was now an image of Anakin, in his Jedi robes to the left of Padme, who stood in the middle in her white action jumpsuit and Obi Wan, in his Jedi robes to the right, he would not lose them, he made a promise to Leia, he would speak to his parents and someone here before it was too late.
[Oh dear! What is happening so close to Christmas? Will Anakin’s surprise for Padme be ruined by the ambushed by the death eaters, what will Luke and Leia receive for Christmas? What will Luke hear when he informs his parents and teacher of his nightmares and worries? Does anything ever go right for Luke and Leia and their parents, you’ll have to wait to find out more!]

Deciding to take a break from all the snow falling, Leia and Hermione brushed the snow off their warm clothes and decided to take walk, leaving Luke and Ron to continue their snowball fight, “Tell me again the story of your parents and when they first fell in love” Hermione spoke up, Leia had first explained the story when their second holo projectors arrived as Leia looked down, kicking some snow with her black pinkish boots, “You really want to hear it again?” she asked as Hermione gushed, “I think it’s beautiful, truly beautiful” as Leia blushed, okay, “I tell you the story of their first kiss they shared this time” she told her as Hermione’s face lit up, “Oh I love to hear that one” she replied as Leia cleared her throat, “Okay, well, it was quite a few years ago, my mother was a Senator for her home planet and my father was still a Jedi apprentice and when she came back to Courscant for a very important Senate meeting, she found herself the target of assignation attempts on her life and my father and his master were instructed to protect her anyway after another attempt, they decided it was best if my father escorted my mother back to her home planet to which she did not like at first” Leia informed her, taking another, deep breath before she continued, “They left for Naboo, and after meeting with the Queen and introducing my father to her family, they left for the remote lake country where my mother had a family lake retreat there” seeing Hermione start to speak, “So they were married at this time?” she asked as Leia shook her head, “No, not yet, they were old friends at this time” she informed her, before going on, “They arrived at the lake retreat and my mother wore a beautiful pink and cream long dress and my father wore his traditional Jedi robes, they took a stroll through the retreat until they came to the balcony overlooking the water and after a few minutes, he started to stroke her arm then her back before he gave a smirk, and leaned in, my mother told me that she could not resist his beautiful blue eyes, Luke has the same colour eyes, she allowed her self to let him kiss her and she told me it was so beautiful, soft against hers until she stopped” Leia recounted as Hermione looked confused “Why?” she asked, “Because my father was a Jedi, they were forbidden to marry and she couldn’t risk that” she answered her, “But at the start of the war, he took her back and they were married at the same retreat. When we get back to the common room, I’ll show you the wedding picture our droid took” she told her as Hermione smiled more, “I would like that” she beamed.
Leia turned back to Luke and Ron, “Snow boys! Let’s get heading up to dinner!” she yelled watching Luke and Ron stop their tackling game and ran over to where the girls stood before racing further, “Last one to dinner, goes hungry!” Luke yelled back as Leia yelled ahead, “You’re cheating!” she argued back, turning to Hermione, “You are so lucky not to have a brother” she told her before running after the boys.
The Great Hall looked so empty since that day had been spent with students exiting the castle to head home for the holidays, which caused Leia and Luke to feel slightly homesick because they were still here, although some students were leaving tomorrow including Hermione, Ron was leaving but his parents were visiting on of his older brothers for this holiday, at least they would have company, Draco, thankfully was leaving tomorrow for the holidays. Luke and Leia sat at their long, half filled table, just thinking about their parents and if they were missing them, were they caught up in the amount of workload and did they spend their nights missing their children. Not wanting to dread too much on home, Luke and Leia shook their heads from these thoughts and chatted away with their friends, enjoying another filling array of meals.
Dismissed from the great hall, Luke, Leia, Ron and Hermione were the first to exit, as Hermione wanted to see Leia’s parents wedding picture and she had to do some more packing although Ron and Luke just wanted to hang out and not do any work, saying they would leave it to after Christmas, as they reached the portrait entrance, Leia dashed up the stairs, “Where she going?” Luke asked, confused at why his sister had dashed off so quickly, “She’s just getting something of importance” Hermione smirked, watching Leia reappear down the stairs, “Okay, here it is” she told her, pulling Hermione closer to her, she pressed a small, black button and an image of Padme, dressed in a beautiful, long white laced wedding dress with matching veil, her brown curls felling past her face, as she wrapped her arms around Anakin’s waist, who was dressed in his Jedi robes, a bright cheery smile across his face, “Oh Leia, they look so cute together” Hermione replied in awe as Luke and Ron each looked at each other, rolling their eyes, sticking their tongues out in disgust, “I’m going upstairs to drop my books off enough of this mushy girly stuff” Luke complained, ascending the stairs as Ron flopped over to the lounge while Hermione and Leia stood nearby, watching the holo projector change different images of Anakin and Padme.
Shortly after Luke had dropped his books and bag at the foot of his bed, he smiled over at the image of his parents, this time the image was one taken shortly after their birth, Anakin cradled little Luke in his strong arms, smiling down at Padme, who cradled little Leia in her arms, lost in the images, Luke suddenly felt a whispered voice run through the air, “You will lose the ones you love shortly” the voice spoke as Luke looked around, trying to see he could find the voice, “You will fall into the darkness and help destroy Hogwarts” the voice spoke once again, as Luke struggled to block out the voice, throwing his pillow over his face and ears, it wasn’t long before the cool, softness of his familiar pillow, forced him to sleep.
“I need your children” the voice told Anakin, who was held back by two Death eaters, paining still shooting through his body, his face now filled with cuts and blood, “I’ll never bring you Luke and Leia” he spat through his teeth as the figure laughed, using his wand to lift up Anakin’s chin so his red eyes pierced straight through Anakin’s strong blue eyes, “Are you sure you won’t reconsider? He asked as Anakin remained silent while the figure simply clicked his figure and two more death eaters brought out a struggling, Padme, cuts all over her arms and face, eyes red from crying and her beautiful dress ripped all over, Anakin struggled to reach her, “Don’t you hurt her like last time!” he threatened as the figure laughed, “No, I have another way. Bring Luke and Leia to me or she dies” he informed him as Padme gasped “No!” staring at Anakin as Anakin stared straight at him, “Kill us both because I’ll never bring you my children” he told him, locking eyes with Padme, as the figure spoke, “Very well, I bring them myself, so long” he replied, aiming his wand straight at Padme’s chest, he shouted, “Avada Kedavra! As a flash of bright green light in her straight in the chest and she fell to the ground as he moved the wand towards Anakin, and a flash of green light hit him straight in the chest causing him to fall back not too far from where Padme layed as the figure simply laughed, laughed and laughed.
Luke tossed and tossed in his bed, throwing his sheets and pillows in array, as Ron and Hermione stood back in complete shock at what was happening while Leia slowly positioned her self near a fighting Luke, “Luke? Luke! Please what’s wrong?” she asked trying to stop him, placing a hand over his arm, she had been downstairs when she had sensed something wrong and dashed upstairs with their friends to find Luke thrashing about, trying to calm him, he finally stopped, jumping right off the bed, staring at Leia, who’s face showed she was scared, “What’s wrong? I sensed something was wrong to find you fighting your bed” she informed him, as Luke wiped the rushing sweat off his forehead, taking deep breaths, “I heard a voice then trying to block it, fell asleep and saw someone ordering dad to bring us to him, he refused and in the end, he killed mum and dad with a flash of green light” he informed her now it was Ron turn to gasp, “Bilmey, that’s the worse curse anyone can use, according to the Ministry of Magic” he pointed out, “What is it?” asked Leia, her voice shaky, “It’s a killing curse, no one can stop it, it happens so quickly” he replied as Luke moved back to Leia, “Leia, this is getting worse, someone is out to get us and is using our parents, I feel these nightmares are warnings, to us” he told her, as she looked like she was about to cry, “You need to tell mum and dad about this then speak to someone here” Leia informed him, choking back the tears in her soft, brown eyes as he moved to comfort her, “I will, first thing tomorrow, I promise” he assured as she tried to smile, “Thanks, I have to go” she cried, running from the room, followed by Hermione as Ron moved over to Luke, “Are you alright now, mate?” he asked as Luke gave a slight nod, “For now, but I don’t know how much more I can take. This is serious” he confessed, staring back at the image of his parents, which was now an image of Anakin, in his Jedi robes to the left of Padme, who stood in the middle in her white action jumpsuit and Obi Wan, in his Jedi robes to the right, he would not lose them, he made a promise to Leia, he would speak to his parents and someone here before it was too late.
[Oh dear! What is happening so close to Christmas? Will Anakin’s surprise for Padme be ruined by the ambushed by the death eaters, what will Luke and Leia receive for Christmas? What will Luke hear when he informs his parents and teacher of his nightmares and worries? Does anything ever go right for Luke and Leia and their parents, you’ll have to wait to find out more!]

Chapter 12
As the days grew closer to Christmas, the castle had become empty and almost hallow, classes had stopped for the holidays and the common room was almost deserted, with the exception of Leia, Luke, Ron and his brothers, who were among the few students who were remaining at Hogwarts for the holidays. Luke had always remembered his promise to Leia, made all those weeks ago, he had sent his owl back home with a letter about his concerning dreams but he still hadn’t found the right person to speak to at the school. It seemed that some of the teachers could not be bothered to talk with him because it was approaching the holidays and they wanted their time off, he was not too keen on informing Dumbledore about his nightmares but perhaps he didn’t have a choice if no other teacher would talk to him. Luke would worry about that later, and just wanted to enjoy the time off he had with his sister and best friend, without having to talk about dreams or the massive pile of homework sitting up in the common room.
Another cold soft ball of fresh snow roughly hit the side of his face as Leia started to laugh at her perfect hit on her brother, who had become distracted with the area to the broomstick quarters left open, it had been too long since their last encounter on broomsticks and Luke was eager to try it again, rolling up another moderate size ball directly at Leia, he spoke up, “Hey, who wants to make this day more interesting?” he smirked as Ron shrugged, “What did you have in mind mate?” he asked as Leia just sighed, “Depends what you mean by interesting, Luke” she hinted as Luke turned his gaze over the broomstick quarters as Leia quickly shook her head, “No, we’ll get into trouble. We’re not suppose to be riding broomsticks without a teacher” she reminded him, watching Luke stroll over, “But there are no teachers around, so what they don’t know, won’t matter” he smirked as Leia just shook her head, Luke could just like their dad sometimes, always wanting to bend the rules, as Ron echoed Leia’s comment, “She’s right, we’re only first years and need to be watched with the broomsticks” as Luke reached in and pulled out a long, wooden broomstick like the one he had first ridden in practice, “Don’t be so goody all the time, you both sound like Hermione, not to mention mum as well” he informed them, ascending the broom, “I’ll see you both later” he snicked and kicked the white layer of snow beneath him and flew up high above the, now, smaller figures of Leia and Ron and over the tall, green trees, performing a few risky moves, weaving through the north and south towers of the castle.
Trying to see if they could spot Luke, Leia and Ron scanned the sky with no luck, so Leia did the only thing she knew she had to do, with no other option, racing over towards the broomstick quarters, she grabbed a broomstick as Ron looked confused, “What are you doing?” he asked as Leia roughly rolled her brown eyes, “I have to go after Luke, he’s cross the line too far and he could get hurt” she replied, kicking off from the ground, she, too, zoomed off into the bright, blue sky as Ron only sighed, “Why does everyone have to break the rules?” he asked as he looked back into the sky, trying to spot them, he moved slowly through the grounds, with the snow crunching underneath his boots.
Meanwhile, high in Padme’s office, Anakin and Padme were finding some time to themselves with Anakin, remaining tight lipped about his Christmas surprise for Padme, “Anakin, please just tell me, you know I can’t stand surprises” she begged as he waved a finger in front of her, “Yes, but I know how much you are overwhelmed when you do see the surprise” he smirked, pulling her in for a tender innocent kiss, “You just make sure you are ready at 8.00, outside your quarters” he reminded her as she giggled, “Oh Ani” she whispered into his ear, before looking over at same of the presents Obi Wan had sent over, “I remember when Leia cried so hard when she lost her little stuffed tusk cat” Anakin spoke over her thoughts as she smiled, “Yes, I remember and Obi Wan told me he found it, I was surprised” she replied, as her eyes suddenly flew to the huge, glass window, where two students on broomsticks flew by, “Anakin, was there suppose to be any Quidditch practices today?” she asked, curiously as Anakin looked confused, “I don’t think so, why?” he asked, trying to follow her gaze as she gasped, running for her warm, wintry red cloak, “Oh no, then some students have decided to have their own fun” she pointed out, darting out of the door, followed by a bewildered Anakin, who could not understand just what she had seen.
“Luke, we should go down right now!” Leia yelled, her voice almost drowned out by the huge, gust of wind, “No way, this is too much fun” Luke shouted, sending his broom into a deep, nose spin, weaving around the north tower as Leia sighed, flying high after him, “Luke! This is not funny, we should stop now!” she yelled back, narrowly weaving to the side to avoid a fast speed Luke, as her eyes nearly fell from her sockets when she looked down, “Oh no, Luke, we need to go down now” she informed him, “No, this is too much fun! Why should we stop?” he asked as he followed her intense, worried brown eyed gaze, and saw Professors McGonagell, Quinn and Administer Hearty rushing out of the castle, their eyes tearing up to the sky, “Uh oh” Luke whispered under his breath, following Leia back down towards the lake where Ron was standing. Luke really wished he had listened before, now he was in more trouble after promising his parents in a previous letter he would stop.
“You never seem to learn from your mistakes, do you?” Sarah’s stern firm voice addressed them as Luke and Leia touched back down, feeling the snow underneath their boots as the school’s caretaker Mr Filch, had already angrily snatched away the broomsticks from the students as Luke kicked at the snow, not wanting to look up, “Just wanted to practise on my skills” he mumbled as Professor McGonagell spoke up, “You know the rules about flying, you are only permitted to fly with a teacher present and Miss Skywalker, I am surprised to see you were up there” she went on as Leia cut in, “Professor, I didn’t want to go at first. I was only trying to bring down my stupid brother who was ignoring my requests to land!” Leia snapped as Professor McGonagell still did not calm down, “I am very disappointed in both of you. I will writing to your parents tonight and you will both receive detention….again” she informed them as Leia gasped, “Why me? It was all Luke’s idea, I was trying to stop him!” she shouted, she felt her temper and voice angrily rising, “However, Professor McGonagell is right, you were on a broomstick as well and you must be punished. I am afraid to say that your parents will not be pleased at this” Sarah informed them, watching Luke and Leia slowly lower their heads, too disappointed to respond as the three teachers adjourned for the castle, then it suddenly hit Luke, quickly running over, he shouted eagerly, “Miss Hearty!” seeing the small form of Sarah stop dead in the snow, “Yes, Luke, what is it?” she asked in a calm voice, “Uh, I was wondering if you could allow me to see Professor Dumbledore, preferably by tonight” he answered her as Sarah eyed him curiously, “Is something wrong?” she asked as Luke paused, he did not want to worry any of the other teachers, so he lied, “No, I just was wanting to ask him about perhaps having a conversation with my parents for Christmas” he suggested, seeing a smile cross Sarah’s sweet face, “Oh that sounds lovely. I’m quite sure that he is free now, if you would like to follow me now” she informed him as Luke eagerly nodded, “Thankyou very much, Miss Hearty” he replied, before trudging back through the snow and through the huge, wooden doors of the castle. Ron exchanged a glance with Leia, who was still fuming at her punishment, “Why do you think Luke ran off towards Miss Hearty?” he asked, as Leia looked back towards the castle, “I don’t know, I can only hope that he’s decided to speak to someone about his dreams. He’s been really quiet lately” she replied, “Ron, Has Luke has any more restless nights?” she asked as Ron shrugged, “Not really, he either stays downstairs or sleeps quietly. I haven’t heard him have a bad dream in a few days” he explained to her as Leia acknowledged all this information, before Ron saw her eyes go as wide as he had ever seen them, “What is it?” he asked as Leia turned back to him, “Luke hasn’t had any bad dreams in a few days, what if they’re not dreams but visions?” she asked as Ron looked confused, “Visions?” he asked blankly as Leia quickly answered him, “Before we were born, our father had this dreams about horrible things happening, it’s something that we know” moving back towards the castle, “And?” Ron asked, “Well, what if Luke has been having this dreams for a reason and that someone had been able to fill Luke’s mind and something bad is going to happen, like telling the future” she explained as Ron shrugged, “Could be a possibility” he suggested, watching Leia looked up at the sky, before running off towards the owlary as Ron followed, in short pursuit.
Luke turned around long corner of the castle, towards Dumbledore’s office as Sarah stopped, right outside the same dragon statue, “Okay, Luke, here you are. He’s expecting you” she smiled, as Luke quickly jumped onto the grey stoned stairs, as the stairs twirled round, towards the second floor, as Luke started to slow his steps, slowly pushing the wooden door open, and stepping into the office, lined with books to the ceiling, painting with famous wizards staring down at him, as a voice entered the room, “Luke, what can I do for you?” the soft elderly voice asked as Luke saw, sitting at his desk, with his light coloured eyes fixed upon him, “Uh, I needed to speak to someone and I thought of you because you helped my sister when she needed to speak to someone” he quickly replied as Dumbledore rosed to his feet, “And what exactly would you like to speak about?” he asked as Luke moved over to the side of Dumbledore’s oak desk, “A few weeks ago, I started having dreams, nightmares, you could say, about my parents” he explained, pausing before he continued, “In the dreams, I see a dark room and a cloaked figure, pointing a wand at an unrecognisable figure at my dad, then my mum is dragged in and he forces my dad to torture her, then in another one, he ask my dad to bring my sister and me to him” he stopped, holding back tears, “Then this figure killed my mum and my dad” he finished as Dumbledore moved to console him, feeling Luke’s tears fall into his warm cloth of his cloak, “What does this mean? Are my parents going to die because we’re this prophecy?” Luke cried as Dumbledore gently comforted him, “I do not know what this mean, but I certainly hope that this will not happen. I have taken what you have just informed me very seriously and will be extra careful to ensure that nothing happens to your parents” he assured Luke, who stood back and wiped the small, clear tears from his bright blue eyes, “Thankyou for listening and helping me” he sniffed, as Dumbledore lead him from the office, “Luke, know what I am always here if you need to talk about your problems” he reminded him as Luke slowly nodded, moving out onto the stairs, “Thankyou Professor” he replied, his voice almost a whisper as he descended the stone stairs and towards his common room.
The snow crunching under their feet, Ron ran up the snow covered stone steps after Leia, who seemed anxious to get to the owlry. Finally catching up to her, he saw her moved over to Luke’s light brown owl, who had just flown back in, with a piece of parchment in it’s mouth, “Are you mad? That’s for Luke; shouldn’t we give it to him?” Ron asked as Leia shook her head, “I was the one who told him to send this letter. I need to see what they think” she replied, ripping open the parchment, in her now shaking hands, it was only short but showed concern:
To Luke,
Your letter you sent to your parents, has worried them deeply and I am taking your mother for the safety of Naboo, feeling that Luke had these nightmares like I used to. Your mother feels that Luke saw the future and worries that this is serious. She wants you to remain at Hogwarts with Leia and be wary of any dangers you hear throughout the castle. Your father also adds that if you wish to send or speak to them at Christmas, to do it through Dumbledore or do not try anything at all. Hope you are enjoying your Christmas
Mum and dad
Glancing back down at the parchment in her hands, she started to tremble as Luke move to console her, “What did it say?” he asked, “My father has taken my mother to Naboo for their own safety” she replied, her lips quiving, before going on, “What Dumbledore told me was right, Luke and I are targets of the evil lords and our parents will suffer so we will fall” she added, her bright brown eyes filling with tears before she ran from the tower, down the stone snow covered steps back towards the castle, her small white hands clasped tightly around the letter the whole time.
Anakin slowly snuck into Padme’s private quarters, and smiled, watching her softly sleep, her luscious brown curls falling against her pillows, her eyes softly closed and her mouth in little curl, she was so beautiful, he missed not being with her because of their covers at the school, so he gently moved down and positioned himself next to her, and without realising it, he had started to stroke her arm, until her eyes suddenly fluttered open, gasping when she saw Anakin’s mischievous smile smiling down at her, “Ani? What are you doing in here? If someone saw you…” she started as Anakin raised a finger to her soft lips, “I know but I had to see you. I needed to inform you of something” he informed her as she slowly sat on her bed, “What is it? Does Dumbledore need help?” she asked, he smiled, “No, something that Obi Wan let me know something Luke had written to us about” he spoke him, seeing Padme’s hands fly to her mouth, “Oh no, what happened?” she asked, her voice full of worry watching Anakin slowly looked at her, before moving away, “Apparently Luke’s been having bad dreams about us being tortured by some dark figure” he admitted as Padme slowly climbed out of the bed and wrapped her arms around Anakin’s strong waist, “Oh Anakin, what are we going to do?” she asked, her voice filled with fear as Anakin wrapped his strong arms around her, “I am not going to let these dreams come true. I am going to be on extra alert and I will not let this ruin our Christmas surprise together” he smirked as she gave a half smile, leaning her head against his strong chest.
The orange yellow fire crackled and hissed as Luke once again paced up and down the common room, no one had seen Leia or Ron since Luke had headed off with Miss Hearty to see Professor Dumbledore, he had asked Ron’s brother’s Fred and George if they had seen them, but they hadn’t seen them, Luke was beginning to worry when the portrait entrance swung open and in rushed Leia followed by Ron, both almost out of breath and it looked like Leia had been crying, “What’s wrong, why are you crying?” Luke asked as she flung her arms around his neck, “Oh Luke, I went to get your reply and I read it and it says how mum and dad believe you and think something will happen” she cried as Luke suddenly stepped back, “You read my reply?” he asked as Leia looked confused, “Yes, but I thought it would concern both of us” she replied as Luke looked angry, “It doesn’t matter, you read my reply!” he shouted as Leia looked scared, “But I did it for us, it concerns both of us, they’re my parents too!” she shouted, throwing the letter at her brother and dashing up the stairs as Luke glared over at Ron, “You couldn’t stop her, couldn’t you?” he angrily asked as Ron tried to explain, “She said that she was the one who told you to tell them, so she had half the right” as Luke snapped, “She thinks she always has to snoop around, she thinks everyone’s business is her’s” he told him as Ron looked blankly at him, “Well, isn’t it?” he asked as Luke stared angrily at him, “Maybe, but it’s not the point. She read my reply, addressed to me, she shouldn’t read it. She reads everything of mine!” he shouted, in his anger, he kicked a loose cushion towards the crackling fireplace as Ron looked stunned, “Alright, then, I’ll just leave you alone then” he assured him, before he slowly headed up the steps to their quarters as Luke just stared down at the parchment, before he simply, and angrily scrunched up and threw it into the fire.
Clinging tightly to her soft pillow, Leia felt the small, clear tears fall from her brown eyes onto the surface of her pillow, she could not believe that Luke would act like that, she was only retrieving the letter for her brother, it concerned her too, he would have shown her anyway, so why would he act out in a violent way. She slowly raised her head, towards her nightstand where she gave a half smile at a holo image of Anakin and Padme, with a tiny Luke and Leia, on their first day at the Jedi Temple.
The Jedi Temple looked so big, compared to them, it’s spires were like the tallest buildings they’ve ever seen as Anakin held a 3 year old Luke in his arms as Padme held an excited Leia in her arms, her chocolate brown hair held in two pigtails on each side on her head, “It’s almost as big as the palace, mummy” she squealed as Anakin gave a laugh, “That’s right, it is, it’s even more bigger inside. Come on, Obi Wan’s expecting us” he informed them, as Luke began to squirm in his arms, bending down to place Luke on the ground, he watched him run ahead towards the entrance as he took Padme’s gentle small hand in his’s and led her through the temple, watching Leia’s eyes go wider than ever, “It’s beautiful” she squealed, as Padme placed her down, watching her run ahead to where Luke was, running through the Room of a Thousand Fountains, the waterfalls were so cool and calm, it seem so peaceful, as Anakin and Padme took their place on a nearby stoned bench as Luke and Leia chased each other through the variety of plants, knowing that they were going to like it here at the Temple.
Leia smiled as she continued to stare at the hologram, one of her happiest memory of her family together, before they came to Hogwarts, they never knew about this prophecy or someone out to destroy their parents, then it suddenly hit Leia, what if her parents knew something from the beginning, they were always cautious of where they went and who were with them. They were even sceptical about Luke and herself coming to Hogwarts in the first place, could it be that the danger was always there and was just waiting patiently to strike, feeling more tears fall down her soft, white cheeks, Leia huddled on her cosy four poster bed, reaching over for her Christmas gift she was planning on sending to her parents for Christmas-she had heard about them in the local village by Hogwarts, but since she was a first year, she couldn’t retrieve, so she had asked one of the older girls to purchase it for her-she knew her parents would love it, something to think of when they started to miss them, but now, she wondered if she could ever get her present to them.
[More trouble, uh oh! What’s going on? Luke’s angry at Leia, and she’s upset at Luke while Padme’s worried about Luke’s dreams and will they come true while Anakin is deeply concerned and will do anything to protect his family, but will his identity be blown? Plus, will the dark lord’s plans succeed one step closer to Luke and Leia’s fall?]

Chapter 13
Dumbledore had often paced his study a lot, usually to clear his mind, however, he could not clear his mind of one thing, that always came back to him, it was what Luke had told him about his dreams, there was no doubt that they were true and things will happen. It was horrible, they were approaching Christmas in less than two days and Luke and Leia had really wanted to spend that time with their parents, there needed to be something he could do to make them take their mind of all their troubles. As he once again, paced his study for what was like the hundredth time, it came to him, bring their parents here, even though they were already here, under false identities, he would removed all that and have them here as themselves and Luke and Leia could be with their parents like they wanted to in the first place.
Anakin and Padme listened in complete and utter shock as Dumbledore explained his idea to them, “Professor, I feel that this is bad idea, if we are targeted to draw Luke and Leia to them, then having us here will draw them to the castle” Anakin spoke out as Dumbledore corrected him, “However, if you are here, you will protected like you have been from the beginning” with a slight smirk, “And they were quite upset when you said they couldn’t be coming home for Christmas and they want this, it will take their mind of all their problems” he added as Padme began to understand, “Well, I think it will be nice to spend time with our children, especially at Christmas” she told them as Anakin looked at her and sighed, “Alright, how do we do this?” he asked as Dumbledore raised his long, pointed wand and suddenly some of Anakin and Padme’s belonging were right at their feet, you will change in here, then in a few hours, I will send Professor McGonagell for Luke and Leia and you will reveal yourselves like you’ve just arrived a few minutes earlier” he informed them, “What about our other identities?” Padme asked as Dumbledore slowly nodded, “I understand your query but if anyone asked I will tell them that Jesse and Sarah been called away into the city or back home” he replied, “Now, off you go, upstairs to change” he ordered them as Anakin picked up the travel bags and led Padme up the spiralling staircase towards the upper level, he only hoped that this would work.
Inside the Gryiffindor common room, the atmosphere was quiet and sometimes uncomfortable, despite the small number of students, Luke was still furious with Leia for running his letter and she was furious with him because he just didn’t understand that she had every right because if she didn’t tell him to, he wouldn’t even had that reply and Ron was caught up in the middle of it, sometimes escaping outside with Luke and his brothers to play in the snow while Leia remained in the common room or library with her cat, attempting to distract herself from her fight with Luke. She was in the library one afternoon, when she discovered a book about defensive charms in battle, she wanted to tell Luke but he was still stubborn with her so she had checked it out and kept it hidden up in her room, she saw the days approaching Christmas as she looked over at her present for her parents, not knowing how she would send it to them. All these problems filled her up with anger, anger that she couldn’t spend Christmas with her parents, anger-that Luke could not understand that she was just as concerned as she was, anger-that she cold not hand her present to her parents in their hands and see their reaction. It was tearing her up inside, focusing on her anger as a voice hissed through the air, “You know what to do. They can be saved if you help them” as Leia shook her head, eyes darting around to see if she could match the voice to the figure, “Luke wants you out of the way, he wants to save his parents on his own, he doesn’t care about you” the voice went on as Leia frantically looked around, before covering her eyes, “Stop it, stop it! leave me alone!” she shouted, falling onto her bed, when she collapsed into a heap of tears, clinging to the small holo projector. Ducking out of the way, he saw the snow ball, hit the nearby tree behind him as Fred sniggered, already rolling up another ball, ready to aim it again, determine not to miss this time as George had managed to squarely hit Ron in his chest as Luke suddenly sensed something wrong with Leia, while right now, he didn’t care, and thought it was just crying over him not talking to her, this time, it was something more, weaving around Fred’s throw, he sprinted towards the castle, as Ron sped after him followed by Fred and George, each armed with snow balls, eager to finish their snow game off.
Almost of out breath when he rushed the common room, Luke, frantically looked around, finding Leia no where in sight, as Ron stopped along side him, “What’s going on, mate?” he asked as Luke didn’t reply but took off once again in direction of the dormitories, towards Leia’s room, where he found her laying on the bed, with her hands over her ears, clutching the holo projector in one of her hands, Luke froze as he moved over to her, “Leia? Leia, what’s wrong?” he asked, rubbing her back as she turned over and pulled her up, meeting Luke’s eyes, “Luke, what are you doing here?” she asked, “I sensed something wrong and I was right” he told her, seeing her start to cry, “Oh Luke, it was horrible. I was feeling all this anger over what’s being happening lately when this voice appeared through the air, telling me that if I helped them, my parents would be saved and that you wanted me out of the way to save our parents themselves” she cried, throwing her arms around his neck as he sat on the bed, in complete shock, “You heard the voice too” he spoke as she nodded in agreement as he led her out of the room, “I don’t like this, I don’t like this at all” he told her, as they reached the footing of the stairway, Ron moved over to them, “So what happened?” he asked as Luke spoke up, “Just another strange piece of information, something about a voice saying….” He was cut off as a snow ball flung straight into his face as Leia let out a little laugh, watching another snow ball hit Ron and Fred and George appear from behind the lounge, heaving more snow balls at them, as it flew every where, as Leia started to laugh more and more, heaving snow balls back, until a stern voice entered the room, “What’s going on here?” came the voice of Professor McGonagell, observing the scene before her, snow over the lounge and armchairs, tables and floor, “Sorry Professor, just having sone Christmas fun” they all echoed, “Well, now you get to work cleaning it all up. Fred, George, take Ron to go get the brooms, Luke, Leia, you will come with me, there’s something you need to see” she informed them, moving from the common room as they exchanged a glance with their friends, before scurrying out to catch up.
Through the long, twisting corridors, they continued to follow Professor McGonagell, now knowing they were going towards Professor Dumbledore’s office, stopping a few feet behind her, “Professor Dumbledore is upstairs waiting for you” she informed them, activating the statue and Luke and Leia hurried to jump onto the stairs, up towards the office, creeping from the stairs and towards the door, pushing the wooden, door open and almost tiptoeing in, “Professor, are you there?” Leia spoke as Luke looked around, it was nearly late afternoon, and some of the painting showed no one in them as another voice replied, “Leia, Luke, good to see you again” he smiled as Leia gulped while Luke felt a small lump forming in his throat, “What’s going on? Is it our parents? Are they alright?” Leia asked, a sense of urgency in her voice, as he only held up a hand, “Fine, they’re both fine” he assured her, “I called you here to speak with you personally” he went on, “I know that you are here because you couldn’t go home and I thought of something that would make it more cheerful for you” he smiled, moving a hand up towards the stairs, “However, I think it’s better to see it than hear it” he told them, “Luke, Leia, here’s an early Christmas present” he added and Luke and Leia’s eyes followed his direction to the top of the spiralling staircase as two very familiar figures appeared, arm in arm, he was dressed in his usual black Jedi robes while she was dressed in a long, flowing, black dress with silver sparkling straps across the shoulders and the waist, it was almost too good to be true, they rushed to greet them, “Mum, dad, you’re here!” Leia screamed as Anakin lifted her up as Padme embraced Luke, “Happy Christmas” Anakin told her as Leia held him tight as Luke looked up at his mother, “I can’t believe you’re here” he gushed as Padme turned to Dumbledore, “It was Dumbledore’s idea, to bring us here, for you” she smiled as Luke hugged her once again, “I’m glad you’re here” he repeated as Leia excitedly told them “Can we show you our dormorities?” As Anakin looked over at Padme, “I think so” he told her as they exited the office, a smile crossed Dumbledore’s face, they were here, safe at Hogwarts now that was left was to find out how to keep them more safer.
Pretending to know nothing about Hogwarts or its long halls, was easy for Anakin and Padme, as Luke and Leia practically, were dragging them back through the halls, past confused looking students, too stunned to believe what they were seeing or envious of Luke and Leia having their parents here, but Luke and Leia were ignoring those looks and were practically boasting to others about their parents and the school, turning the last corridor to a beautiful painting at the end, watching it slide over as Leia spoke, in a clear voice, that reminded Anakin of Padme, the password and helping them through, to where Ron and his brothers were cleaning up the last bits of snow, “Ron! You have to meet our parents!” Luke exclaimed, as Ron looked up and looked over to where he stood, “What?” he asked, as Luke went on, “Ron, these are our parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala Skywalker” as Ron nearly fell over, “Whoa, this is amazing!” he gushed as they led Anakin and Padme over to the plush lounges before squeezing themselves in between them, “It seems like you guys have been having fun today” Anakin observed, feeling more snow crunching under his tall, black boots as Luke shyed back, “Well, we were outside then Ron’s brothers brought the game inside” he pointed out as Padme smiled, looking over at Anakin, “Not too much trouble, like we’ve been hearing about. Flying broomsticks without a teacher, being out of bed, causing fights with other students” Padme went on as Leia corrected herself, “All mistakes, we didn’t mean to, except it was Luke’s fault about the broomsticks” as Padme looked over at her, “Leia, it’s not nice to blame others, you were there too” she replied as Ron spoke up, “So you’re a Jedi Knight, like Luke said. What’s that like?” he asked curiously as Anakin laughed, “Nothing like this. It’s all different, protecting others, fighting and unknown enemies, and instead of wands, we have these” he informed him, getting to his feet, he moved to the open space, and unhooked his lightsaber and a bright, ray of blue flashed before their eyes, “Lightsabers, very efficient and can cut through anything. Even limbs” he joked, “Anakin, don’t” Padme warned as Anakin pulled back his sleeve and glove to reveal an all mechanical arm up to the elbow, “Ah” Ron exclaimed as Luke leaned forward, “I know, cool huh?” he asked, as Anakin started spinning his activated lightsaber round, before nearly jumping at the unexpected voices, “Now there’s a wand I want, Fred” came the voice and Anakin turned around to see two older boys, almost exactly like Ron, “Who are you two?” he asked, quickly as Luke spoke up, “Dad, this is Fred and George, Ron’s twin brothers” he told them, “Guys, this is Anakin Skywalker, my dad and this is Padme Amidala Skywalker, my mum” he informed them as they smirked, “Ah, you’re the famous parents, Luke and Leia have been talking about” George spoke out as Padme moved over to greet them, “It’s very nice to meet you boys. I heard you started the snow battle in here earlier” she informed them as they looked away, “Well, we wanted to continue the game” they spoke up as Ron leaned over to Leia, “It’s amazing how much you look like your mother” he told her, seeing her blush, “So what’s that colourful wand you had there?” George asked Anakin, who had just hooked it back onto his belt, “Well, like I was telling your brother, it’s a lightsaber, a traditional Jedi weapon, can cut through anything” he told them, as Leia sprung to her feet, “Come on, it’s almost time for dinner and I want you to see more of the castle before dinner” she informed them, leading them from the common room and out into the hallway.
Despite the small number of students in the school at this time, word still spread about the new arrivals, with everyone cramming to get a look, as Luke and Leia proudly strolled into the Great Hall, towards their long, brown table with their parents, despite the eyes of everyone staring at them, with a few of the older seventh year girls eying off and staring at Anakin, “So this is where you eat all your meals, right?” Anakin asked, sliding next to Padme on the right side of the table as Leia replied, “Yes, and also where we study during study periods” she added, “Although Luke uses that time to muck around with Ron” she muttered as Luke shoved her hard, “Shut up, I do get some work done” he snapped back as Leia only rolled her eyes, as Anakin just sighed, “Just like being back at home, the usual dinner arguments” he told them as Padme only laughed, watching the students starting to take their seats at their table, Padme leaned over to Luke and Leia, “Why don’t you invite your friend Ron and his brothers over to join us for dinner” she instructed them, “Alright, if you don’t mind” Luke replied, “We’d love to have the company” she smiled as Luke yelled and waved him over, “Ron! Bring your brothers and yourself over here, mum says it’s alright!” he exclaimed as his friend slide down the bench not before Padme sternly corrected her son, “Luke, next time, you get up and bring your friends down here. You know better” she reminded him as Luke looked down, too embarrassed, “Sorry, I’ll do better” she muttered as Ron slide in next to Luke, “Thanks for inciting us to eat here. Down there, everyone was asking questions” he informed them as Leia sighed, “It’s everywhere we go, even at school on Courscant, they ask questions and stare” she replied, as Luke laughed, “Like you don’t enjoy it” he reminded her as Anakin looked around, “So how is the food brought out?” he asked, already knowing the answer, “Professor Dumbledore brings it out” Luke answered him and sure enough, after Dumbledore had entered the hall, the long tables were lined with an array of beautifully decorated plates of delicious foods, and because Christmas was only two days away, the food had a Christmas touch to it, as everyone dove in for the food. It also seemed that the only conversation in Luke and Leia’s group was about Anakin and Padme, while Fred and George were interested in Anakin’s skills with his lightsaber, Ron’s other brother Percy was more interested in Padme’s role in her politics and how they differ to the Ministry of Magic as Ron, Luke and Leia listened to the conversation, they were relieved that Draco wasn’t here but also sadden that Hermione wasn’t, but one thing was for sure, Luke and Leia were just happy to see their parents once again.
As everyone adjourned from the great hall for the night, Luke and Leia had wondered where their parents would be staying, hoping it was with them, “So where are you staying for tonight? We have tons of spare beds because of the holidays” Luke informed them as Anakin truffled his son’s shaggy blond hair, “That’s a nice offer, however Dumbledore has allowed for us to stay up in one of the spare luscious quarters near the other teachers” he replied seeing Luke’s face turn sour, “Oh, okay” he muttered as Anakin laughed, “Luke, it’s not like we’re going out of the castle, we’ll be right here, in case you need us” he assured him, climbing in after their children into the common room before helping Padme up, “I’ll go help Leia get settled, you can help settle Luke for sleep” she instructed Anakin, with a quick, sweet kiss before leading Leia up the spiralling stairs towards her room, as Anakin just smiled, “Alright, come on, Luke, let’s get you ready for bed” he told him.
As Padme entered Leia’s dormority she shared with five other girls, she wasn’t surprised to find Leia’s area clean and neat, “Just like back at home” she commented as Leia blushed, “Well, I treat it like it was my room” she replied as Padme could see she had placed her holo projector right beside her bed side table, as Leia retrieved her nightwear out of her trunk at the foot of her bed, and after slipping them on, she moved to sit on the side of her bed as her mother picked up her pinkish, red brush and combed through her long, straighten brown hair, “Leia, you know since that letter your brother sent, your dad has become more concerned than ever” she spoke as Leia considered this for a moment, “Is that why you didn’t want us home for Christmas?” she asked, feeling the brush stop as Padme slowly got up and moved in front of her, kneeling right in front of her, she just stared at her, before she embraced her, “oh, sweetie, we wanted you home and we were preparing for your arrival when Anakin had a sudden dream that changed his mind, which devasted me” she cried, as Leia just allowed her mother to cry, “Anything like Luke’s?” she asked as Padme shook her head, wiping the tears from her eyes, “Something more different” she replied, before raising to her feet again, “Come on, let’s get settled into bed” she added, trying to smile, before she helped her into her crisp, warm sheets and blanket before having one last talk.
“Luke, go over this one more time. You’re in a dark room, there’s a unrecognisable figure holding a wand at me, then more come in with your mum and he tortures us with some kind of curse” Anakin repeated, he was in the middle of getting Luke to bed when he decided to bring up the subject of his dreams, as Luke gave a rough sigh, “Yes, something called “Crucio” then another one called “Avada Kedavra”” he replied once more, as Anakin looked around, “Ron, do you know anything about this spells?” he asked, hearing a groan, telling him Ron was trying to sleep, “Only that they are part of the unforgivable curses-crucio is the torture curse and the second one is the killing curse” he answered, turning back to the other side, as Anakin was about to ask more, when he could see that it was getting late and he would have to wait till morning, “Alright, come on, Luke, let’s get ready for bed before your mum comes up to take charge” he joked, helping Luke into his sheets, “I assure you nothing will happen as long as I am, I promise” he told Luke before he saw Luke fall back against his pillow as Anakin quietly exited the room.
“What took you so long?” Padme asked, the second she had seen Anakin reach the floor, sweeping her into his grasp, “Just wanted to ask Luke about his letter” he informed her seeing her turn serious, with the look he called her “politician look” “Anakin Skywalker, you know better, he probably doesn’t like to bring it up a lot” she informed him as Anakin smirked cheekily, “Well, I just wanted to understand more and I promised that nothing will happen while we’re here” he assured her as she smiled, placing her hands on his face, “Oh Ani, you always are the hero aren’t you?” she giggled as he smiled, “For you and the twins, yes and Obi Wan, when he needs” he laughed as they exited the portrait hole towards the winding stairs taking them to their quarters.
In the black, dark corners of the castle, he watched them climb the stairs, he had been watching them all night, with Luke and Leia, they were here, as their true selves, this would be easier than expected. His master knew how to enter other people’s minds and he knew that he would reading Luke and Leia’s, what he didn’t know is that Lord Voldemort was going to plant terrible dreams tonight into the minds of Luke and Leia.
“It was so nice to see Luke and Leia again without having to be so secretive about wanting to be with them” Padme spoke out once they had entered their quarters, and changing into her light, blue satin night wear as Anakin kicked off his Jedi boots and started to undo his tunic, “They were certain surprised. I could hear them asking when they entered the office, are we alright?” he laughed, seeing Padme turn serious again, “Anakin, you shouldn’t tease them about that” she pointed out as Anakin quickly made a face full of sadness, and Padme moved over to wrap her arm around his waist, “Ani, you are too cute” she gushed as he lifted her into the air, “And you are truly beautiful” he replied, carrying her over to their bed, where he brushed away her hair from her eyes and brought his lips to hers, in a romantic, tender kiss.
In the darkness of the night, the castle was quiet, as the only sounds were the footsteps of perfects and Filch’s cat Mrs Norris, prowling the halls, while in Leia’s and Luke’s rooms, it was a different noise, the rustling of sheets being kicked, sweat dripping from their foreheads and whimpers,
“Ah Luke, Leia, it so nice of you to finally join us, it seems that prophecy’s can be misleading, I was expecting two children more older and stronger” the voice hissed, “Where are our parents?” Luke snapped as the fire crackled once more and a hiss came from the snake beside Voldemort, “Ah, you’re quick to get to the point” he hissed again as Leia spoke up, “Answer my brother, what have you done with our parents!?!” she yelled as several cloaked figures began to snigger but Voldemort silenced them all with one pale, hand, “Alright, then, I’ll show you” he replied, and with a swish of his wand, Luke and Leia saw the black curtains part and saw two death eaters, pointing their own wands at broken, worn figures of their parents, held back by the death eaters by their hair, “Mum, dad!” Luke and Leia both gasped together, as Voldemort laughed, “The one thing to turn the prophecy around” he pointed out twirling Anakin’s lightsaber around with his wand, “Let them go!” Luke shouted as Leia’s eyes never left the figures of her parents, “No, because that’s not part of the plan” he replied, “I want you to help me destroy Hogwarts and the magical world so I may take my place as leader” he informed them, “Don’t listen to him!” Anakin snapped before the Death eater pulled him back further holding the wand closer to his neck, “How do we know you won’t kill our parents if we help you?” Leia asked as Luke turned his sister shocked at what he had just heard, as Voldemort sniggered, “Because I give my word” he smiled, his red eyes glowing with fear as Leia went on, “And if we refuse?” she asked, “Then you will watch them in torture before I kill them” he answered, “Like so” he added, raising his word once more, he aimed it straight at Anakin, “Crucio!” he shouted as Luke and Leia watched in horror as Anakin screamed out in pain, like it was ripping his limbs apart before Voldemort moved the wand towards Padme and did the same thing, tears fell down Luke and Leia’s faces, “Stop it! Stop it! Please!” Leia shouted as Luke watched Voldemort lower his wand, “So then what will it be?” he asked as Luke looked to his sister, “What could they do? They had to save their parents” as Luke glanced over at his parents, they would want them to do the right thing, but what-destroy the magical community or see their parents die? It was confusing, as Anakin’s voice yelled towards them, “Don’t listen to him, do what you feel it right!” as Voldemort snapped, “Silence, I’ve had enough. If you can’t decide, I will decide for you” he told them, raising his word once more, he yelled, “Avada Kedavra!” first at Padme, then at Anakin, “No!” Luke and Leia both screamed as their parents crumpled to the floor, running towards their fallen forms, the sound of Voldemort’s laugh filled the room over their cries.
Both pairs of blue and brown eyes snapped open, as they each felt the sweat dripping from their foreheads, kicking the sheets off, they both saw their friends still asleep, obviously in deep sleep, unable to hear anything, tiptoeing out, they both jumped when each saw each other, “What are you doing up?” they both asked at the same time, “You had the dream too?” they asked again, as Luke shook his head, “There’s no way out of this isn’t there?” he asked as Leia looked away, out towards the glass window, watching the snow fall out of the dark sky, “I hope not, because usually there is” she reminded him.
[Uh oh! More disaster, double the dreams and terrors, what does it all mean? Are Anakin and Padme in danger either way and now that they are here, will it be easier to capture them? Will Luke and Leia inform them of their dream? Let’s hope that Christmas brings them a lighter happier mood. Stay reading!]

Chapter 14
Okay, I know that I have put at least something wrong in every chapter, but I want more of a magical wizard feeling and I remembered a particular building from the third Harry Potter movie that could work. Also, there is a part that is slightly like the beginning of the fourth Harry Potter movie. Hope you enjoy!
Deciding to surprise Luke and Leia by waking them up themselves, Anakin and Padme sneaked back towards their common room, while still in their own sleep wear, only to hear voices, two of them were Luke and Leia, usually Luke and Leia aren’t up so early ever, worried that something was wrong, Anakin felt that it was only right if he “listened” in on their children’s conversation:
“So you’re saying that you’ve been up all night because both had the same dream?” Ron asked in confusement, as Luke nodded, “Yes, I am just as surprised as Leia was, she usually never gets dreams like this” he explained as Ron decided to ask, “Are you going to tell your parents this time?” seeing Luke about to reply when Leia jumped to her feet, “No, we can’t. It’s our Christmas with them and I don’t want to worry them, besides mum told me last night that the night before she sent that reply about us not coming home, was because dad had a dream about something bad happening so I don’t want to tell them and worry them more” she explained before heading over to the stairs, “Luke, promise me that if they come here this morning while I am upstairs, that you won’t tell them about last night” she told him, seeing her cold glaze fix upon his, leaving him no choice, “I promise I won’t tell” he finally replied, sinking more into his armchair as Leia continued up the spiral stairs.
Deciding that he had heard enough, Anakin and Padme proceeded into the common room, “Well, look who’s up earlier than usual” Anakin commented as Luke could feel himself sinking lower, surprise to see them up as early as he was, hoping they hadn’t been here for long, “Same for you, usually mum has to get you up” Luke smirked happily before Anakin shot him a watch-it-or-you’ll-be-in-trouble look as Padme moved to greet her son, “I hope you had a good night sleep, your father wants to take you into the nearby village he saw on the way over here” she informed him, seeing Luke’s eyes nearly fell from their sockets, “Hogsmeade, really? Usually first years are never allowed to go there, you have to be in third year and above to get there” he pointed out as Anakin smiled, rustling his son’s shaggy hair, “Well, then I guess I know how to persuade people to get what I want” he replied, with a small wink to Luke as Padme looked around, “Where’s Leia?” she asked as Luke answered, “She’s upstairs, getting dressed” as Anakin moved over to the stairs, “I’ll go. I haven’t talk to her in awhile” he told Padme, his eyes told her, he wanted to speak with her about what he had over heard without letting her know that he was ears dropping.
Leia had just changed into her dark, black pants with her favourite deep purple jumper before throwing over her warm, long, light pink winter coat when she was startled by the knock at her dormority door, thinking it was only Luke, she yelled, “Luke, go away, I’ll come down when I am ready!” but the reply she heard, made her feel embarrassed, “That’s no way to talk to me” they replied through the door as Leia dashed over to the door, smiling so bright seeing her father looking down at her, she jumped into his arms, “Morning, princess” he told her, as she blushed, “Morning, dad” she replied as he followed her into her room, “Wow, so neat and tidy not like Luke’s at all” he laughed as Leia blushed, “What’s wrong dad?” she asked, seeing him take his place on her four poster bed as she climbed into his lap, “Leia, tell me, have you had any weird dreams like Luke has been having later?” he asked, after several minutes of silent as Leia froze, “Why was he asking her this? Was he aware of last night?” she wondered as Leia shrugged, “No, not yet” she lied, biting her top lip, as Anakin looked at her, “Okay, but you would tell me if something was wrong?” he asked as she nodded, “Of course, I would” she assured him as he started to lighten up, “Okay, glad to hear that but for now..” he told her, as she curiously watched him, then he started to tickle her, as she pleaded with him to stop but he didn’t, “You know what to do to make it stop” he told her over her screams, as she pushed him down and tickled him back before another voice entered the room, “Anakin Skywalker, I thought you were going to bring Leia downstairs not tickle her to death” came the soft but firm voice of Padme as Anakin smirked, “She looked serious so I thought she needed a laugh” he smiled as Padme only shook her head, “Oh Ani, come on, breakfast is almost ready” she told him as she moved off, Anakin was about to follow her when he stopped, “Remember what I told you Leia, you would talk to me if you had any worries” he reminded her, “Yes, dad, I promise” she replied, taking his strong hand and following him out of the room towards the common room.
Shortly after an array of breakfast, Anakin and Padme proceeded from the castle with Luke and Leia, they were allowed to take their children to the village as long as they did not let them wander and caused no trouble to the shoppers. Ron had informed them that he would spend the day with his brothers playing out on the grounds, allowing Luke and Leia to spend their time with their parents. While they were happy to be out of the castle with their parents, both Luke and Leia were still troubled by their disturbing dream last night-their parents murdered right before their very eyes, it wasn’t possible as they turned back to their parents, who were acting like two young, energetic teenagers, as Anakin scooped Padme into his arms, or throwing snow balls at each other, it made Luke and Leia want to leave Hogwarts and never come back, but they already knew that it wasn’t possible-they would find them and they would end up fighting anyway. As they skipped along the pathway to the village, Luke suddenly stopped, he sensed something wrong and Anakin had noticed his sudden change, “What’s wrong, Luke?” he asked as Padme heaved a small, round snow ball directly at his cheek as Luke turned to his left, proceeding off path, as Anakin watched him, “Honey, take Leia into the village, I’ll meet you there with Luke” he informed her, before she even had time to ask why, Anakin had sprinted off into the direction Luke had taken.
Although the sun was burning bright, all around Luke, it felt dark, like something was clouding him, as he walked further and further, he was almost nearing the forbidden forest when he felt two strong arms pulled him back, and he found himself face to face with his dad, “Luke, what do you think you are doing?” Anakin demanded in a firm, voice and Luke could recognise that he was angry, “I sensed something” he told him, “Luke, you can’t just wander off track like that. Dumbledore made me promise him that I would watch you or he won’t allow another privilege like this again” he informed him as Luke looked around, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to know what it was” he replied as Anakin shook his head, “Luke, it still does not…” his voice trailed off as he sensed something wrong too, like on the night, that they were attacked near the forbidden forest, “Luke, I think we should head back into the village” he warned him, starting to pull him away as Luke looked confused, “But I….” he didn’t even get to finish as Anakin dragged him back the way they came, until they were safely in the village where Padme and Leia were, running to greet them, “What happened?” Padme asked as Anakin simply looked at her, with a I-tell-you-later-not-in-front-of-the-twins look and Padme understood, “Okay, now who wants to have a look around?” she asked as Leia and Luke screamed with excitement, running towards the sweets shop, “Should have known” Padme muttered to Anakin as Anakin laughed, “They’re going to be active tonight” he pointed out as Padme cheekily smirked, “Then, you can stay up and make sure they don’t hurt themselves” she informed him as Anakin turned around, shocked, “What!” he exclaimed, as Padme lightly kissed him on the cheek, “That’s right, if they are up all night, you can watch them” she hinted and Anakin quickly understood-tonight was Christmas Eve, and Padme had all their presents for the children hiding up in her office and Anakin was going to place them under the Gryiffindor’s beautifully decorated Christmas tree, tonight, while the children slept but Anakin didn’t want to argue tonight, because tomorrow night, he was reveal his Christmas surprise for Padme, down by the frozen lake back at the castle where they would be completely and 100% alone, to make up for the months that they have had to be secretive about their identities.
Luke and Leia, ran straight into the direction of the sweets shop, where they gasped in amazement, it was full of colourful varieties of sweets with all different favours, they were going to be have some excitement here, enough to drive their parents crazy, just like when they were younger. “This is so awesome!” Luke gasped in amazement as Leia nodded in agreement, “I’ve never seen so much sweets in the one place” she added as two more voices entered the air, “Oh no, this is going to spell trouble tonight” came the voice of Anakin, as Padme tried not to laugh, turning her head into Anakin’s strong shoulder, trying to hide her laughter seeing Leia and Luke grabbing all different sweets off the shelves into their small, little hands, of course, they would sometimes cheat, or teasing their father, by using their Jedi mind tricks to steal sweets that Anakin had picked up to take for himself.
Having literally near worn out the entire sweets shop, Luke, Leia, Anakin and Padme wandered through the snow covered town, until they reached the end, where an old, supposedly abandoned double storied house, “The Shrieking Shack, it’s suppose to be the most haunted building in all of Britain” Leia informed them as Luke looked in shock,” How did you know that?” he asked, as Leia simply sighed, “Hermione told me, she read it in Hogwarts A History” she informed him as Luke ran on ahead, “Let’s go check it out” he yelled back as Leia ran after him as Anakin and Padme didn’t have bother to ask should they go after them, because they knew the answer, the snow crunching under their tall, boots, just as they were approaching Luke and Leia, they were off again, this time, sneaking into the Shrieking Shack, Anakin looked up, something about this structure stank with the dark side, which always meant danger lurking.
Padme clasped tightly onto Anakin’s hand, making him feel like he would collapse from how hard she was holding onto him, as they crept through the entrance hallway of the Shrieking Shack, Luke and Leia were no where in sight, as the old, wooden floor boards creaked underneath their footsteps, “Anakin, maybe we could just try calling them, instead of going too far in the house?” Padme suggested, her voice nearly a whisper, as Anakin let a small smirk cross his face, “You’re not telling me that the former queen/senator of her home planet, is frightened of a old empty house?” he asked as Padme playfully hit his right arm, “I’m not saying that, I’m just suggesting that we remain at the entrance and call them to us” she corrected him as Anakin smirked once more, “Okay, if that’s what you call it” he muttered, and using his Jedi senses, he stretched out through the force to find Luke and Leia, although, for an old abandoned house, there was a lot of dark interference in trying to contact his children, finally giving up, he turned to proceed up the stairs, prompting Padme to ask, “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice smaller than whisper, “I can’t exactly sense them clearly so I’m heading in the direction that they were last” he replied, continuing up the creaky stairs, as Padme dashed up after him, “I’m coming too. You might need some help” she smiled, as they crept further up the stairs.
Luke smiled proudly to himself, having just scared the daylights out of his sister and was now not very happy with him, giving him her stern hard serious look that mum gave dad when she was cross, “That was not funny, I thought something had happen to you” she informed him as he laughed once more, “I thought it was” he laughed as Leia pointed out, “I thought mum and dad would have caught up to us by now” as Luke reminded her, “But in our defence, we did have a head start” he smirked as Leia suddenly turned around, her long brown curls whipping past her ears, “Did you hear that?” she asked, sounding worried as Luke shrugged, “No, nothing” he answered her, then he sensed something strange, coming from a few metres away, moving towards the area, he beckoned for Leia to join him, “What is it?” she whispered as Luke pulled back, “There’s someone else in there and it’s not mum and dad” he said, sounded worried, as Leia’s eyes widened, “What?” she asked, now sounding more frightened then ever, before tiptoeing towards the room down the end of the corridor, where the voices were becoming clearer.
“No, you know your orders, you wait for Lucious to meet you outside then you ambush them” Luke and Leia heard one voice say to the other, it was hard to recognise who’s voice because it sounded more darker, “but my lord, if we could do it without the adults?” they heard the second voice ask, “No, I told you they are needed first, in order to…” he stopped as Leia and Luke froze, remaining quiet as possible and edging further back away from the room and down the hall, walking backwards, they were relying on their memories to remind them how wide and long the hallway was, thinking they were far away, Leia almost ran back when she heard Luke being grabbed back, only turning around, to see her father’s bright blue eyes glaring at her, holding onto Luke with his hand over Luke’s mouth, “You shouldn’t have run off like that, you know better” he told her as she couldn’t hold it in, “There’s someone else in here!” she exclaimed seeing Anakin freeze and Padme gasp, but rather than investigate, Anakin headed in the other direction, swinging Luke over his shoulder, “It’s probably nothing. It’s a haunted shack, probably rats scamping around” he assured her, but Leia would not give up, “No, dad, we heard voices, we should check it out” she suggested, “No, that’s enough for today. It’s getting late” he snapped, proceeding out of the shack as Padme held onto Leia’s hand, she leant over to whisper, “Don’t worry, your father is just concerned for you, and it is getting late” as Leia tried not to cry, “But he didn’t even listen to what I said. He just walked over with Luke” she shot back as Padme pulled her in closer, rubbing her back slowly, “Don’t worry, honey, I’m sure everything will be alright” she assured her, as they hurried to catch up with Anakin, who was already half way back to the village.
“Luke, what were you thinking, going through that place anyway?” Anakin asked him, barely able to control his anger as Luke remained silent, he had no answer to tell him, and just watched his father angrily walk around him while Padme stood to the side, with his sister, obviously he would deal with her next after Luke, “Could you not use your Jedi senses and sense the dark side around that place. It may have been haunted but there was something else there” he pointed out as Luke started, “That’s what Leia was trying to tell you, we heard voices, like they planning something” he blurted out as Anakin rolled his eyes, once more, “Again, with the voices, it could have been villagers playing tricks in there or secret political deals” he explained as Luke shook his head, “No, it was someone else. They were talking about how they needed the adults for something” he explained to Anakin as Anakin slowly raised his hands up to his forehead, “Okay, this has been a long day and you were obviously excited about going into the village, so just go upstairs and rest” he replied, and that’s when Luke lost it, his fist curling underneath his fingers which were clasping onto the HoneyDukes bag, “Why don’t you listen to me! I heard voices and so did Leia! They were sinister creepy voices and might be planning an ambush on someone!” he yelled, shocking Anakin before turning around and running back into the huge, wooden doors, as Anakin simply stood there, gobsmacked at what he just happened, and without turning to address Leia, he spoke, “Leia, go inside to your common room. I don’t want to hear your story now. You shouldn’t have ran ahead in there in the first place” he informed her as Leia could feel her eyes start to swell up with tears, “Dad, I’m so sorry” she cried before she dashed through the wooden doors, leaving Padme with Anakin.
“Anakin, what happened?” Padme asked, placing her gentle, soft hand in his’s while he did not turn to acknowledge her, “What I had to do, you always told me that I never use to be firm and strict with them, so I had to show them how angry I was for what they did” he replied as Padme went on, using her politician voice, “Anakin, they were trying to tell you that they overheard a planned ambush, and you ignored them” she went on as Anakin shook his head, moving away “I know, but I just sensed something while we were in that shack that they probably found out. I am just worried that something sinister will happen. What I overheard this morning, was even more disturbing, something happen last night with the twins and they don’t want to concern us” he informed her as Padme smiled, “Ani, it’s Christmas Eve, they want to celebrate with us, it won’t be long until the holidays are over and we’ll be Sarah and Jesse again, just teachers to them thinking their parents have headed home” she explained as Anakin walked back over to her, lifting her up into the air, spinning her gently around, “You always know how to make me smile again” he said sealing it with a romantic warm kiss as Padme smiled, “Because I love you, now come on, let’s go talk with Luke and Leia” she informed him
As the orange yellow sun began to set into the roaming mountains, and the white, small moon shone in the sky along with the sparkling white stars, Anakin and Padme forgot about that hectic morning and afternoon, informing Luke and Leia, they were concerned with what they saw, and were too shocked to say anything, too worried that something could have happened to them if they were spotted ears dropping and they just wanted to enjoy Christmas with them for now to which Luke and Leia understood, assuring them that they were sorry but that Anakin and Padme believed that they heard something, before they settled into the night atmosphere of the castle.
After a delicious array of meals for dinner, Padme, Anakin, Luke, Leia, Ron, Fred and George all bundled into their warm winter clothing and proceeded out into the grounds, where the snow was thick, cold, and crunch under their boots, wondering what they were doing out there, Luke turned round to question his’s dad big surprise when a large, round white snow ball hit him square in the chest and he heard Anakin laugh, “Surprise!” he yelled as Luke bent down and made some smaller snow balls, running after Anakin, pinning him in the back with snow balls as the others started to laugh when Anakin and Luke stopped, smirking at each other, “Should we do it?” Anakin asked his son as Luke nodded, “I think they’ve asked for it” he replied as Anakin and Luke started chasing after the others with snow, Padme screamed in fright as a large snow ball from Anakin pelted her in the back, “Oh, you’ve asked for it now” she told him, chasing after him as Luke, Ron and Leia ducked and dodged snow balls coming from snow balls as snow went flying through the dark, navy blue air and the playful screams of Luke, Leia, their parents and their friends filled the air, unaware of the prying yellow eyes leering from the tall, stoned north tower of the castle.
“Today you took a big risk coming to me today in the Shrieking Shack, they almost caught us, if we hadn’t disappeared when we had” came the cold eerie voice as the assistant didn’t turn around, “I had to question the plan and attack, stating my concerns” he replied as the voice hissed, “You already knew the plan, and do not fail this time or will not just be tortured this time” he informed him before vanishing leaving the assistant to look down on the playful scene and seeing them head back into the castle, he knew what his master had meant and he did want to died because of failure, he would succeed.
Having ensured that the twins and their friends were all asleep in their quarters, Padme, dressed in a dazzling sexy, red and white Santa’s helper outfit, beckoned for Anakin, who was dressed as Santa, although he was not wearing the hot, thick beard, making him look ever cuter to Padme, to follow her down the long, hallway, carrying the twins toys as well as the other Gryiffindor’s presents towards the common room, “You know, you look kind of sexy in that outfit? How can you haven’t worn that before?” Anakin asked cheekily, as Padme laughed, “It’s Christmas, now come on, we need to get this done before morning” she reminded him, sneaking through the portrait entrance towards the beautifully decorated Christmas tree and lining the room with an array of presents for all, until the common room was nearly packed with presents and Anakin turned to his gorgeous wife, scooping her into his arms, “And now, time for this Santa to enjoy his early present” he smirked as Padme giggled, sharing a romantic kiss against the backdrop of the cackling fire with her handsome husband before he carried her from the common room towards their own quarters.
[Now how’s that for an ending! A Christmas Eve ending! Anakin and Padme acting as Santa and his beautiful helper, what have they got Luke and Leia for Christmas and how will Padme react to Anakin’s present for her? You’ll have to wait and see! It’s Christmas time at Hogwarts with the Skywalkers!]
