Chapter 15



As the pale yellow sun started to rise in the pale blue sky, Luke and Leia were both awoken by the sounds of their friend Ron’s excited screams, urging them to rush down to the common room, springing out from their beds, with their sheets thrown to the floor, they grabbed their warm dressing gowns before they nearly collided with each other on the small balcony on the way down, where they each turned to see Ron, looking up at them and the swarming piles of presents around him, “Wow, this is amazing!” Luke gushed as Ron yelled up at them, “Happy Christmas Luke! Happy Christmas Leia!” as they smiled, both replying, “Happy Christmas Ron!” as Ron yelled back, “Are you coming down to open your presents or not?” he asked, seeing Leia and Luke’s eyes go wider than ever, “Presents? No way!” they exclaimed, running down the spiral stairs and into the common room, their presents piled all beautifully by the fireplace, as Ron took his place on one of the armrest of the lounge, with a box of treats that Hermione had sent him as Luke picked up one of his presents, it wasn’t very big, in fact smaller, than he had unexpected, with a note, wondering what he could be, he picked up the small piece of parchment attached and began to read it out loud to Leia and Ron,

Luke,
Happy Christmas, I knew that this present is smaller than any other present you will receive today, but it doesn’t matter, because this present is special, it was given to me by Obi Wan when I was his Jedi padwern, and I treasured it, because Jedi weren’t allowed my possessions and this gift, was given to me by Obi Wan, who had received it from Qui Gon, and I feel that you are ready to receive this present and will take care of it. It’s force sensitive but also, when you feel stressed, it will allow you to remember me when you miss us
Anakin

Luke finished reading it as Leia and Ron still looked confused at what the note meant, they never knew that their dad had kept anything from when he was younger, only that he had given to their mother, so they watched as Luke carefully unwrapped the present to reveal a small, smooth stone, a river rock and Leia gasped, “I remember that, Obi Wan gave it to dad when he was younger like the note said” as Luke ran a finger over it’s smooth surface, it was so cool and soft, as he placed it inside his pocket as Leia picked up another present, it was from Anakin, and unlike Luke’s, it was long, not that long but long and thin, like Luke, she picked up the note, reading it to Luke and Ron,

Leia,
I know how much you use to love playing with your mother’s necklace I made for her when you were little, so I hope that this present makes you happier, my little princess. Now you can have your very own, like your mother
Anakin

Thinking that she knew what it was, Leia quickly unwrapped the present and a long piece of black string with a small white, patterned material fell into her lap and Leia, couldn’t believe her eyes, it was just like the japor snippet her mother wore, he had made her own, wasting no time, she quickly placed it around her neck, running a finger over the pattern, it was beautiful, distracted by their other presents they didn’t hear the portrait open until the voices spoke, “Wow, looks like Santa must love you guys” came the voice as Luke and Leia whipped around and saw Padme and Anakin, dressed in their sleepwear, jumping up from her seat, Leia ran into her father’s arms before he could even breathe once more as Luke followed her, “What’s going on?” he asked as Leia cried, “Oh dad, this is the most beautiful present you’ve given me” showing him the necklace as Luke added, “This river stone, I can’t believe you want me to have it” as Anakin smirked, looking over at a smiling Padme, “Well, I thought this year deserved some special surprises. So what else did you get?” he asked as they rushed back over to their presents: Leia had received three new beautiful dresses, two of her most wanted toys she had seen, including a new stuffed tusk cat replacing the old one she lost from Padme, Hermione had sent her a bag of sweets and a beautifully cover Hogwarts: A History book, remembering how much Leia read her’s, Obi Wan had sent her a brand new orange saber crystal for when she constructs her lightsaber, Ron had given her a bag of practical jokes from the jokes shop in Hogmeade [he had ask his brothers to get them], and many more from Anakin and Padme together while Luke had received a range of jokes and tricks from Ron, a blue saber crystal from Obi Wan, toys sets from his mother, many more from Anakin and Padme and box of sweets from Hermione. Luke and Leia couldn’t believe that they have all this gifts they were amazing, but there were more presents to come.

“Okay, mum, dad, now it’s time for your presents” Luke informed them as Leia and him rushed up to their quarters as Anakin smirked over at Padme, “You may give your present to me now, but you must wait for tonight for your’s” he teased as she giggled, “Oh Ani, you’re such a tease” she replied just as Luke and Leia rushed back down the stairs, and Leia stepped forward, “This is for both of you, I hope you like it” she told them, handing them the beautifully wrapped gift before she gave each parent a embrace, watching them carefully open the present, gasping when they finally saw it, “Oh Leia, it’s gorgeous” Padme smiled, it was a beautifully decorated snow ball, and inside was Hogwarts and the village, “It’s so if you miss us, you look at this and think of it here” she smiled as Padme pulled her in for another embrace, “Oh Leia, this is beautiful” she cried as Luke stepped forward, “My turn now, I found these before we left for school and hope you like them” he told them, handing them to his parents, watching them unwrap them, adding cheekily, “Obi Wan helped me with your’s, dad” he smirked as Anakin laughed, “I can see that he did” he replied, as Padme gasped once more, it was a beautiful light blue velvet cloak, soft and warm, while Anakin’s was a new lightsaber handle and he could see Obi Wan had helped because he had placed a note, “Hopefully, you won’t lose this one” it said as Anakin and Padme looked at each other before pulling Leia and Luke into an embrace, “This is amazing, thanks” he told them as Leia and Luke became embarrassed as Padme spoke up, “Well, come on, before you fill up on sweets, let’s head into the great hall for breakfast” she told them and with that, Luke, Leia, Padme, Anakin and Ron all moved out of the common room towards the great hall.

For their first Christmas, Leia and Luke were excited to be at Hogwarts, it was beautiful, decorated in gorgeous ornaments, all around the railings and wall and the tall, green tree standing high at the front of the hall, they didn’t care if students stared as they entered, they were just happy their parents could be with them, their surprises were a bonus as Leia fingered the necklace around her neck once more, smiling up at her father, as she took her seat near her mother as Luke sat in between Ron and his father and reaching over some food for his plate as students and teachers around them excitedly chatting between them.

Only one figure was not in the great hall, celebrating, he was not in the mood, he was waiting for tonight where he would please his master by capturing Anakin and Padme to activate the plan, it was almost close and he could feel it. He had secretly watched how Leia and Luke excitedly made their way to the hall with their parents, his master was right, if something were to happen to their parents, they would fall and help him to rise in the wizarding world, it was almost too easy, however they just had one hurdle to cross before they can take control and after tonight, that hurdle will be crossed, providing nothing goes wrong.

Departing from the hall, with their stomachs full from all the breakfast, Luke, Leia and Ron returned back to their common room while Anakin and Padme returned to their quarters, informing them they will meet them in their common room in a few minutes, before they rushed off, finding the common room, covered with disguarded wrapping paper and their piles of presents, Leia grabbed one of her new dresses and dashed up to her room while Luke simply took out the river stone from his pocket, feeling it once more, while Ron, still confused at what made the stone special, had to ask, “So why is that stone special?” as Luke laughed, “It’s a stone that my dad kept with him, since he was training to be a Jedi, given to him by his master who received it from his master, it’s like a family tradition-passing it down, because as a Jedi, my dad couldn’t have many possessions and this was one of few he had and now he wants to me have it” he replied, as Ron headed up the stairs, “That’s wicked, that you have something like that” he told him as Luke followed him up the stairs, narrowly avoiding one of Fred and George’s joke tricks they had left on the stairway before entering their room.

Padme, sat peacefully at her dressing table, combing through her luscious, brown thick curls, just thinking about the presents she had received from her children, they were beautiful and magical, as she put the brush through her curls once more, she was startled by a pair of strong hands on her small shoulders, and seeing a familiar smirk in the mirror, “Ani, you shouldn’t sneak up like that” she informed him as he spun her into his arms, “I wanted to surprise you” he smirked cheekily, he was already dressed in his familiar Jedi robes with his sandy blond hair loose and shaggy against his neck, as he spun her out, “You’re so beautiful” he commented, she was wearing a stunning light violet dress over a pair of knee length white pants for warmth, with a pair of white violet striped boots, before she slipped over her new cloak from Luke as Anakin smiled, “That cloak suits you” pulling her back into his grasp, “Thankyou, I knew you would like, but you wait for tonight, I’m wearing something more stunning for you” she teased, pulling him out into the hallway, towards the common room.

Like her mother had been fixing herself, Leia was admiring herself in the room’s full length mirror, it was a beautiful dress, a simply yellow thin strapped dress with light pink flowers across the waist line, it was beautiful, but of course, she would need her light pink coat with her thick boots, but at least, she could show off her new dress, admiring herself once more, she dashed from the room, into the common room, to find Ron’s brothers playing around with their bags of tricks just as Leia moved over to look over her presents and Anakin and Padme entered the portrait entrance, “Well, isn’t this fun?” Anakin asked as all eyes turned over to him and George sent one of his small, fireworks into the air, exploding in an array of colourful lights showering down, as Anakin smirked, “Nice one, but how about this?” he asked, pulling over four of the small fireworks into his hand, before he sent them into the air at the same time, watching them exploded as Leia laughed, “Dad, you’re being a show off” she commented as Padme laughed, covering her mouth with her hand, just as Luke rushed down the stairs with Ron, “Okay, so what else are we doing today!?!” he asked excitedly as Padme spoke up, “Well, we thought, we could all go out onto the grounds and spend some time outside by the lake so we spend Christmas outside the castle” she informed them as everyone became excited at this suggestion, rushing past Anakin and Padme and into the half crowded hallway

Observing the now deserted common room, Anakin joked, “Well, that certainly cleared them outside” as Padme laughed, “It sure did, I thought that they would want to spend their days with their presents” she replied as Anakin laughed more, “I think they did, they all took their bag of tricks with them as Padme snuggled close to Anakin, “Uh oh, that means trouble, but also, that was a beautiful thing you did for Luke and Leia, with the gifts” she smiled, trying not to cry once more as Anakin held her close, “Well, I thought that for their first year at a new school deserved special presents” he told her as Padme went on, “But Anakin, why did you decide for now to give your river stone to Luke?” she asked as Anakin smiled, “It was hard but I wasn’t that older than Luke was when Obi Wan gave it to me and I know Luke will take care of it, as much as I did” he answered her as she wiped away a small tear, “Oh Anakin, that was beautiful” she cried as he laughed, “Just wait for tonight, you won’t believe your eyes” he smiled, taking her soft hand, and leading her out of the common room.

The snow was thick and crunched under the boots of students running around the grounds, all trying out new presents they had received from their parents as Luke, Leia, Ron, Fred and George ran through the snow towards the lake, where they finally began to use their presents for fun, watching Ron’s brother’s throw small fireworks across the frozen lake, seeing the ice begin to crack slightly, just Luke was going to try it out, the small item, was pulled from his hand, scamping around to find it, he came face to face with his father, with a slight smirk crossing his face, “I wouldn’t try that too much” he informed him as Luke simply shrugged, “Why is that?” he asked as Anakin moved forward towards his young son, “Because it might ruin plans for later on” he replied, in a low voice so Padme wouldn’t hear and Luke followed his father’s gaze over to where Padme stood next to Leia, commenting on her daughter’s beautiful dress and Luke quickly understood that his father had special plans for tonight for his mother and Luke slowly nodded in agreement as Anakin smirked even more, before he used his force powers to magically create snow balls, hurling them at Luke, Ron, Fred and George, while Padme and Leia scamped away, where they could fight back safety, with Padme successfully hurling a snow ball directly at Anakin’s face, to which he turned in her direction, seeing her start to laugh, as Leia joined in, hurling another at her father, smiling over at her mother before Anakin fought back, with Luke and his friends, aiming directly at Padme and Leia, who hurrily fought to defend themselves, snow began to fly back and forth, hitting everyone as snow covered parts of their clothes and their hair, but it was worth it, because it was Christmas and everyone was spending Christmas together.

Two hours after everyone had filled up on lunch and with most of the snow washed off, Anakin secretly pulled aside Luke and Ron, sending Padme and Leia ahead, “What’s going on, dad?” Luke asked, once out of ear shot of the girls as Anakin looked at him seriously, “How would you like to be my little helpers in preparing my present for your mother tonight?” he asked as Luke’s eyes lit up, “Yeah, I would” he replied, excitement in his voice as Ron looked excited, “You want me to help to?” he asked, as Anakin smiled, “Of course, any friend of Luke’s is welcome to help me” he informed them, quickly proceeding along the corridor as Luke and Ron, moved fast to catch up, with Anakin’s fast paces, “What’s going on, what’s the surprise?” Luke asked, as they proceeded down the grand stairs at the front, spilling onto the grounds, “We’re going to create a beautiful surprise tonight” he informed them, as he moved over to lake, Luke paused, something was wrong, like something was out of place, but then it was gone, so Luke shook it away, catching up with his father and Ron, eager to help plan the surprise.

Leia sat on her mother’s beautiful, soft four poster bed in her quarters, as her mother laid out a variety of beautiful dresses across the other side, “What do you think dad had planned for you tonight?” she asked curiously, as Padme smiled, “I don’t know, your dad can be charming and mysterious sometimes, so who knows?” she replied as Leia touched the soft fabric of a hot, stunning, red dress she had rarely seen her mother wear, “Are you going to wear this one then?” she asked as Padme smiled, lifting it into her arms, “Well, I’ve only worn it twice but on both occasions, your dad has drooled at me in it” she laughed as Leia pointed out, “I think you should because I’ve never seen you in it” she informed her as Padme moved over to embrace her, “Oh, sweetie, I’m so happy to see you once more and I appreciate you help” she told her, moving to pack her make up, hair supplies and clothes into a small, travel bag, “Now, come on, let’s proceed to your quarters, so the boys don’t see this outfit then” she smiled as Leia smiled cheerfully back, “That’s a good surprise” she replied, taking Padme’s soft gentle hand and exiting the quarters.

Using Luke and Ron’s magic and Anakin’s force abilities plus the magical tricks from Dumbledore, the area around the lake, began to sparkle like nothing anyone had seen before, with the occasional student stopping by to admire their work, girls would nudge Luke, whispering things like, “Your mum is so lucky to have a man as handsome as your dad” to which Luke was simply laughed and roll his eyes as they all admired their work, watching it twinkle in the sun, “It will be much better tonight when the sun goes down and the stars and the moon are out, now come on, let’s gets watched up for dinner” Anakin informed them heading back into the castle, as Luke and Ron began to follow, speaking in low voices, “I reckon this will be a surprise for your mum tonight” Ron spoke up as Luke smiled, “Yeah, if nothing goes wrong” he replied as Ron picked up his slow, sad tone in his voice, “They were just dreams, they could past on” Ron assured him as Luke simply shook his head, “No, nothing never passes on in my family” he told him, holding back his sadness, “I….I think I’m going to lose my parents” he finished as Ron shook his head in disapprove, “No, that’s not true, trust me” he assured him once, as Luke gave a small smile before entering the castle.

With the last, final curl released from it’s curler, it flowed down her shoulder, the top part of her beautifully braided across the top, while the rest flowed down her shoulders, helping Leia, twisted the final flower into her hair, as Leia smiled, “I love these flowers in my hair, they’re beautiful” she gushed as Padme stood back and turned into mirror, “You look absolutory beautiful, sweetie” she informed, looking at her daughter, in the beautiful, sweet long blue dress she had brought her, as Leia turned to look at her mother, in her stunning, long hot red dress complete with sparkling strapped heels, “And dad will definitely love you” she assured him seeing her mother giggled, “Of course, that’s why I wore it” smirking, she moved for her coat, “Shall we move out and meet up with the boys for dinner?” she asked as Leia smiled, “I would love to see their faces when their faces when they see us” she replied, before she followed her mother out of the room

[sexystarwarslover]

It was getting later and later and Anakin grew impatience by the minute, clearly shown as he paced once again up and down, “What takes them so long? I’ll never understand” he spoke out, “it’s like they’re teasing us” he added, looking over at Luke, who’s eyes moved past his father so Anakin followed his gaze, where he saw Padme, dressed beautifully as ever and, he couldn’t believe his eyes, his little princess, all dressed up next to her, he slowly moved over to her, lifting Leia into his arms, “Leia, you look beautiful” he cried as she blushed, “Oh, daddy, like my dress?” she asked as he spun her around, “I sure do” he smiled pulling Padme closer to him, whispering into her ear, “You had to choose the dress I like you in, huh?” he teased as she giggled, “Only to see you fall to the knees” she teased back as she placed an arm around Luke as Anakin stared once more at Padme, “Well, shall we continue on to dinner, so we can move on to my surprise for you” he smiled, with a wink to Luke and Ron, out of sight of Padme as they headed towards the hall.

With the moon shining so brightly, along with the small, white, sparkling stars, shining down on the fresh, white snow while Anakin stood next to Padme, preparing to leave, “You stay inside, you don’t get caught outside” Padme warned them as Anakin laughed, “If you want to watch out, you can watch from the north tower, I’ve asked for you to stay there until we get back” he smirked as Padme only rolled her eyes, “Oh Ani” she laughed, as Anakin moved to pull Padme close to him, “We should go, we don’t want to make it any later” he informed her, and so they said their goodbyes to Luke, Leia and their friends before they watched Padme link her arm through Anakin’s and exited into the ground.

Ron turned to Luke and Leia, “Well, what now?” he asked seeing Luke smirk to Leia, “You know what to do” he told her as she smiled more, “To the north tower” she replied as Luke nodded in agreement, “Race you there” he told her, turning sharply on his heel, he dashed back up the stairs towards the tower, followed closely by Leia and Ron.

Padme started to shiver a bit, as they continued to the lake, however, she did not know because her eyes were closed, “Anakin, tell me what’s going on?” she asked sweetly, as he shook his head, “I cannot tell you yet, you’ll have to wait. We’re almost there” he assured her, coming to a slow stop, as Padme felt the gentle warm of an open orange fire around her, “Okay, you can open your eyes now” he smiled as he watched Padme’s brown eyes flutter open, and she gasped, “Oh, Anakin, it’s beautiful” she cried, watching the small lights twinkle and the fire crackle nearby with a bottle of rich, white wine and a plate of shurra, “Oh Anakin, this is beautiful” she repeated as he spun her around, “Merry Christmas, angel” he whispered as she cried, “Oh Ani, this is gorgeous, it’s perfect for my present” she cried, “Now for your’s” she smiled, touching his face, “Anakin, Merry Christmas, I’m pregnant” she beamed as Anakin smiled more, “This is the happiest Christmas ever” he replied as she cried happily, “Oh Ani” watching him pour two glasses of wine, before handing one to her, “Merry Christmas, angel” he told her once more, sipping some of thew wine, before they placed them down on the table as he held out his hand, “Would you like to dance with me?” he smirked as she laughed, “I would love to” she smiled, as he spun her close to him, as they twirled around together, in the snow, with the lights twinkling above them, all six pairs of eyes watched from above

“It’s too bad we can’t hear anything, it’s looks beautiful” Leia gushed as Luke rolled his eyes at Ron, “Yeah, we know, we helped dad prepare it” he replied as Leia smiled, “Really, well, I guess that you can be helpful when you want” she replied, continuing to stare out over at their parents, dancing away by the light of the silvery moon.

Anakin could not take his eyes off Padme, she was so beautiful as her curls whipped around on either side as he spun her around, when he felt a disturbance, his eyes darting around, as Padme noticed his sudden change, “What’s wrong?” she asked, “There is a disturbance” he whispered, “Stay close to me” he added, taking her soft hand, leading her towards the forbidden forest, where Padme suddenly noticed the leaves of the tress begin to freeze, iced over as they edged closer, “Anakin, perhaps we should go back, this is dangerous” she whispered, shivering all over, wishing that she now had brought her cloak with her, that was back with their drinks, their breaths in cold whispers, as Anakin looked around, trying to find the source of the disturbance, “I think you’re right” he agreed, noticing the leaves on the ground, iced over, crunching under his boots, as they backed further out towards the opening, when a heavily cloaked, ghost like figure swarmed in front of them, it was something neither of them had seen before: it had no face, as Padme gave a slight shriek as Anakin pushed her behind him, taking on the unknown figure, bringing his lightsaber to his hand, and igniting the bright blue blade, however the black figure only swarmed down at him, knocking him flat on his back, sending his weapon scattering away, edging even closer to his face as Padme screamed again, as Anakin rolled over to see another cloaked figure, wearing a silvery mask over his face, and Anakin’s eyes widen in horror, Padme, his beloved wife, layed unconscious in the figure’s arms before he handed her over to another cloaked figure laughing, strolling over to where Anakin layed, trapped, seeing his sword inches away from his neck, and spoke, with a cold hiss, “At last, we have you Anakin Skywalker, and his beloved, and soon your offspring. Our master is expecting you” he laughed, seeing Anakin’s eyes go wide, “Never, Luke and Leia are well protected with Dumbledore” he growled, as he laughed, “Our master will lead them to him” he laughed again, seeing Padme begin to stir in the other figure’s arms, she was trembling from the coldness around them. Who were these creatures and what was going to happen to them? Anakin wondered, becoming fearful his wife’s safety and the safety of his unborn child, he sighed, “What do you want us to do?” he asked, “For you to come with us” the figure informed him, as more figures swarmed him, and disapparating into the air.

“Something’s wrong” Luke spoke as Leia nodded, “Where did all that mist come from?” she asked as Ron shrugged, “It is winter, must be a night thing” he suggested as Luke shook his head, “No, it’s something more” he told her, “We have to get down there!” Leia screamed, turning on her heel, she dashed from the tower, hoping that everything was alright and it really was just the mist of the night.

They dashed down the hall, not even bothering to duck out of sight from passing perfects, their concern was their parents, as they burst out onto the grounds, where they could still see the twinkling lights from the spells used to prepare Anakin’s gift to Padme, slamming to a sudden halt as Luke looked around, “I don’t see them anyway and I can’t sense them anywhere, neither” he informed Leia and Ron as Leia walked towards the small table where the two, half drunken glasses stood along with Padme’s cloak, “It looks like they were still celebrating when they disappeared” she informed them as Ron looked confused, “How? The only way to disappear is by disapparating” he replied seeing Luke turn towards the forbidden forest and disappearing beyond the trees, Leia did not like what he had done, “Luke! Get back here right now! We don’t know what’s in there!” she yelled out, hearing no reply, just the rustling of leaves under boots, “Leia, I think something is terrible wrong” Luke finally spoke, as he re-appeared, as Leia’s face showed the same concern their mother would show, “Did you find them?” she asked as Luke shook his head, “No, worse, I found dad’s lightsaber but no sign of them anywhere” he replied as Leia gasped, “You don’t think that those dreams are more than just dreams?” she asked as Luke was afraid to reply, “I think so, I think so” he answered her as Ron was afraid to ask anything, “So what do we do? Should we tell Dumbledore?” he asked as Luke shook his head, “No, we’ll leave it for a day, maybe they just disappeared because they had another surprise for us” he suggested, trying to remain positive moving over towards his sister, who clearly was not believing that her parents would just disappear into thin air

Whoa! That’s not a Christmas, that I would like, hehehe, but it keeps the readers guessing, what could happen next? Are Luke and Leia going to take this matter into their own hands before they lose their parents forever? And will Anakin and Padme live to see Luke and Leia again or will Lord Voldemort succeed and overthrow the magical world? Stay reading!]

Chapter 16

Two days after Christmas, and still Anakin and Padme were no where to be found, and Luke and Leia had holed themselves up in their rooms, not bothering to come out, Ron had to tell everyone that they were suddenly ill and that Anakin and Padme had left early in the morning after Christmas. Of course, only Ron knew the real reason why Luke and Leia holed themselves up in the quarters and that Anakin and Padme were goodness knows where. He wasn’t even allowed to tell any teachers the real story so they don’t worry, except what neither of them knew was that if Dumbledore didn’t really know where they were, he didn’t have his Administer or Defence against the Dark Arts teacher when school began in another day, however, Luke and Leia were simply refusing to leave their quarters, wondering what could have happened to their parents.

A loud, piercing scream jerked Padme from her position in the cold, dark, dank room, she was still in the beautiful dress from last night but she could not find Anakin anywhere, with a hand across her tummy, she feared for her life as well as her unborn baby’s, as well as Anakin. Where were they? The last thing she remembered was being in the Hogwarts grounds with Anakin when a dark, ghost like figure swooped down on them, before she was knocked out. She shivered from the cold air as well as another piercing scream, when the metal barred door to the room was jerked open and she could see the outline of two black cloaked figures, holding another, before tossing them in, watching them fall to the ground, with a gasp, she realised it was Anakin and he looked awful. Rushing over to his fallen figure, she felt his strong left flesh hand touch her face, “Oh Ani, what happened to you?” she cried as Anakin struggled with great pain to pull himself up, “Torture. I think these people have something to do with Luke and Leia’s dreams, because the one who tortured me, kept asking me to bring the children to him” he told her as Padme gasped more, as she felt Anakin’s right hand moved across her tummy, “How’s the baby?” he uttered in a whisper, as she felt the tears fall down her pale cheeks, “Just fine, but I don’t know for how much longer” she confessed as Anakin tried to give a half smile, “I promise, that you and our child will not be harmed” as Padme smiled through her tears, before she helped Anakin slowly up, and moving him over to the cold, metal table designed as a bench, as she exclaimed, some of his injuries he had encountered, as she started to fear what will happen to her.

Still refusing to emerge from the quarters, Ron thought that he would try to see if they would come out at least to eat, tiptoeing up to the quarters, Ron slowly entered into the room, where he found Luke, still dressed in his pyjamas and his fingers around his river stone, Ron took a deep breath, “Hey, do you want to come and get something to eat and maybe talk to others?” he suggested as Luke didn’t even bother to look up, “I told you I don’t want to come out” he repeated as Ron tried again, “I’m sure your dad just had another surprise for your mum, like a romantic holiday” he informed him as Luke continued to run his finger down his river stone, “he would have told us, something happened to them. I just want to know they are safe” he added, as Ron sighed, “Alright, I’ll leave you to it” he finally assured him, exiting the room as Luke saw a pile of equipment by his bed, giving it a rough kick, knocking the small holo projector off his bed, it flashed open, to reveal, the Christmas photo Ron had taken of their family right before they disappeared, smiles all on their bright faces, Luke stared down at the projector, before he abruptly shut it off, he could not look at anymore memories, all he could think of, is what if his parents were in terrible danger, like in his nightmares?

Unlike Luke, Leia wanted to dwell on happier memories rather than want to think of where her parents could be, knowing perfectly well that they had not just disappeared into thin air, something to do with that mist around the area, but Leia quickly shook her head of those thoughts, as she ran a finger across her father’s japor snippet he had made for her as she clutched the stuffed tusk cat in her hands, her eyes going through the beautifully decorated pages of “Hogwarts: A History” Hermione had given her, her eyes always reading the same pages, especially the page about Dumbledore and how he spoke of this prophecy. He was talking about them, Leia realised now, then her mind would always go back to what he told her, if someone they loved were killed, they would turn, with her eyes starting to water, she quickly shut the book, not wanting to dwindle on those thoughts, instead she reached over for her holo projector of all the Christmas shots taken of them. It was suppose to be a happy Christmas, so where could they be?

Ron needed to get out of the common room, it was too depressing, Luke and Leia would not speak to anyone and it made him lonely, except for when he would go off with his brothers, but still, he just wanted to spend the reminder of the break with his friends. Hermione wasn’t due back until tomorrow or so he thought. He descended the grand stairs towards the entrance, when he saw a figure making their way through the castle, he couldn’t see who they were, until they started to wave excitedly at him, “Ron!” they exclaimed as he looked confused, seeing them pull off their jacket, brushing the reminding snow off them, “Hermione!” he exclaimed as she smiled, “I thought you were coming back tomorrow” he told her as she gushed, “I thought I would come back earlier to spend an extra day with my friends” she replied, looking around, “Where’s Luke and Leia?” she asked as Ron sighed, “It’s a long story” he told her as she shrugged, “Well, it’s a long walk back to the common room so you can tell me then” she pointed out, starting to walk back to their stairs as Ron took a deep breath, “Well, it all began a few days before Christmas, we were playing with Fred and George when Professor Dumbledore wanted to see Luke and Leia. They were gone for a while, when finally they came back, with no other, than their parents!” he exclaimed as Hermione gasped, “You met their parents! What are they like? Are they still here?” she quickly asked as Ron laughed, “They are really nice and cool, but I’ll get to that” he assured her, “Anyway, Luke and Leia loved having their parents here and spent all their time with me, even asking me to be with them. When Christmas came, it was so much fun, and that night, their dad had a surprise for their mum on the grounds, he allowed us to watch from the North Tower and we did, then something went wrong, and they rushed out to find them, but they were no where to be found, only their mother’s cloak and their drinks” he finished as Hermione, who had been listening intently, looked confused, “So they just disappeared, without noticed?” she asked as Ron nodded, “Yeah, and Luke and Leia won’t come out, until they know where they’ve gone” he added as Hermione looked stunned before gasping, apparently, she figured it out before Ron, “Ron! You don’t think that they’ve been kidnapped and Luke’s dreams are true?” she asked as Ron shrugged, “I don’t know, they don’t want to think about that” he answered her, finally reaching the common room, where Hermione strolled over to the stairs, “I’m going upstairs to unpack. I’ll see how Leia’s going” she pointed out, ascending the stairs.

Hermione finally reached the entrance to her quarters she shared with the other first year girls, pushing the door open, she slowly looked around, “Leia? Are you here?” she asked, trying to see through the dark, she popped her bag down by her trunk, when another voice entered the air, “Hermione? I thought you were coming back tomorrow?” they asked as Hermione smiled, “Surprise, I am back early” she announced as Leia jumped off her bed, still dressed in her nightwear, “I am so glad to see you” she told her as Hermione nodded, “Me too, and Ron told me about what happened” she informed her as Leia went quiet, “Oh, that’s good, I didn’t want to say anything” she added as Hermione saw the japor snippet around her neck, “That’s a beautiful necklace” she commented as Leia looked away, “My dad made it for me as a Christmas present, my mother has one just like it” she whispered as Hermione looked around the room, her eyes falling on the holo projector on the bed, “Is this them from Christmas?” she asked, moving over, Leia nodded, “Yes, before they left” she cried, leaning against the bed post as Hermione felt a lump in her throat as she asked, “Leia, I was talking to Ron and I thought, you don’t think that your brother’s dreams are real and your parents were kidnapped?” she asked as Leia suddenly whipped around, “I don’t want to think about that because then it would be all our fault” she cried as Hermione became silent, staring down at the projector, with the image of Anakin, his arms around Padme and Leia and Luke, their arms around both their parents, smiles across their faces.

Padme slowly ran her pale, cold hand across Anakin’s face, she had managed to use a corner of her beautiful dress to clean some of his open wounds but it pained her to look at him like this, she wrapped one of his arms around her, she became startled as the wooden metal door opened and she saw four more cloaked figures emerge, as Anakin struggled to pull himself up, making one laugh, “Don’t try to sit up, it will only double the pain” as Anakin angrily snarled, “What do you want with us?” he asked as another laughed, “Only your children” they replied as Anakin shook his head, “You’ll never get them” he informed them, making them laugh, “Then, we’ll had to force you to bring them here” he told him, signalling two other figures, who moved forward, grabbing a startled, frightened Padme, who tried to struggle free as Anakin felt his blood boiling more, “Don’t you hurt her or I’ll kill you!” he threatened as the first laughed, “Not before we kill you” he informed him, exiting from the room with a struggling Padme, who screamed out, “Anakin! Help me!” but he couldn’t as the remaining death eater shoved him back, holding his wand at him, “A little present for you” he told him, before adding, “Crucio!” as Anakin fell back to the ground, withering in agony as his whole body shook, like it was on fire and he only heard the sound of the door slamming against it’s hinges

Ron was amazed, it had only been an hour since Hermione had been back, yet in that one hour, she had convinced both Luke and Leia to come out of their room and downstairs, though not happy about it, they didn’t want to see Hermione become angry, like she once had. The warmth of the orange, yellow fire kept them warm, since they had not bothered to change from their nightwear, “Nice to have you back” Luke huffed as Hermione smirked, “I knew you would want me back” she cheekily replied as Leia just kept rubbing her fingers across her necklace, it was something she always wanted, it was beautiful, small, but beautiful. Her mother never took hers off and now Leia wouldn’t neither, Leia ran her finger across it one more, when something strange happened, and the last thing she heard was Hermione and Luke calling her name.

Leia found herself in a large, living room, a huge, long snake slithered around the fire, as cloaked, tall figures surrounded the room, all looking at the centre of the room, Leia struggled to see, until she squeezed through the figures, until she finally found her way to the front, not wishing she almost hadn’t. A tall, bald, pale man aimed at wand towards the figure of her mother, “You are strong just like your husband, but you will break” he told her as Padme remained strong as Leia saw the face of the Queen her mother once was, “Like Anakin told you, our children will never serve you” she strongly assured him as Voldemort laughed, “Oh, they will, because I have bigger plans that will see them fall” he told her, he shouted, “Crucio!” as Leia saw Padme fall from the grip the death eaters had on her, shaking on the ground, crying out in pain as Voldemort kept his wand pointed at her, repeating “Crucio” at her, while Leia couldn’t stand it, she tried to shout out, but no one heard her, until she heard a reply, “Leia, wake up, please wake up!” and Leia was pulled away from the scene.

Leia’s brown eyes snapped open and found Luke and Hermione staring down at her, “What happened? Why were you yelling stop for?” Luke asked as Leia quickly wiped the dripping sweat off her forehead, releasing the tight grip on her necklace, “Huh, what?” she asked, seeming dazed as Luke furthered explained, “You were listening and talking to us then you went quiet, then blacked out. What happened?” he asked once more as Leia tried to remember, “I saw mum, in a living room, with cloaked figures, and another, holding a wand at her, he spoke to her, then he yelled crucio and I saw her screaming on the ground, pleading with him to stop but he just kept going until I was pulled away” she explained, before she placed her head in her hands, and start to cry, “It was horrible, I saw them torture her and I couldn’t stop it” she cried as Luke moved to console her as Hermione spoke up, “That’s why you were screaming ‘stop! Sop it!’” she added as Ron piped up, “It was like you were having some kind of fit at first” as Luke looked at her, “I’m sure it was a dream” he told her as Leia shook her head, “No, what if Hermione’s right, what if these are dreams but real and they are happening right now? What if our parents were forcefully taken from the grounds?” she asked, looking at all three of them, who couldn’t reply, just looked around at each other, no one wanted to answer those questions, knowing that Leia might as well be right.

Anakin layed on the cold, stoned floor, he was in too pain to get back up, not that he had tried to, but the pain was huge, like he would die, now he layed there, wondering what had happened to Padme, hoping she was alright, when a blinding light flashed into the room, and he realised the door had creaked open and he squinted to see a figure, carrying another smaller, unconscious figure into the room, onto the metal, cold, bench bed, turning to give a small kick to Anakin and exit the room. As he quickly realised that it was Padme, who was unconscious, and with all his strength he had left, he pulled himself and over to Padme, reaching out to touch her pale cheek, he saw that she was still shaking slightly, seeing her eyes flutter open, resting on Anakin, trying to sit up, but he held her down, “Don’t sit up, I know what you’re going through” he informed her as she cried, “Oh Anakin, it was horrible. I wouldn’t tell him about Luke and Leia, then he tortured me and I felt like my body was on fire, then I worried for the baby” she cried, as Anakin reached out to sense if the baby was still alright, he smiled, placing an hand across her forehead, “The baby’s fine, I can sense them” he smirked as Padme gave a slight smile, “That makes it slightly better” she told him as he leaned in closer and planted a soft, tender kiss against her angelic, cold lips.

“You’ve got to tell Dumbledore about this. He might know how to save them” Hermione pointed out as Leia shook her head, “No, we can’t worry the teachers. We’ll have to handle it ourselves” she replied as Ron spoke next, “But some of the teachers are worried for you, when Professor McGonagell came to speak about saying goodbye to your parents, she looked concerned when I told her you were ill and they had left already” he reminded them as Luke paused to think, “We shouldn’t tell Dumbledore yet until we have more evidence, like if we don’t hear from them shortly. It’s only been two days” he informed them as Hermione sighed in frustration, “That’s crazy, you have to tell someone!” she exclaimed as Leia agreed, “We will, but in time, maybe when we get back to classes, it will take our minds off it” she suggested, although she knew something about that sentence just didn’t seem reassuring to her.

Professor Dumbledore didn’t really concerned himself with a lot of things, however, one thing did concern him and it was all about what Luke and Leia had told him and caused him to consult the prophecy several times and now with the added disappearance of Anakin and Padme, he had no Administer or Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and it all drawed back to the prophecy. If something or someone of importance was taken, then the prophecy can be altered and although, he had no real proof, Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was behind their disappearance and perhaps Padme had been right, to question Snape’s new ‘assistant’, he had not seen him since the Christmas break had started. Dumbledore only hoped that it wasn’t too late and Anakin and Padme could still be saved and Luke and Leia would fulfil the prophecy as it says, or otherwise, Hogwarts will fall to Voldemort with their powers.

Deciding that they needed fresh air, Luke and Leia agreed to emerge onto the grounds with Ron and Hermione, of course, they couldn’t avoid questions like ‘where are your parents?’ but did not wish to reply, unfortunately they were not counting on one person to be back so soon, wishing that he was expelled in the holidays. “Well, well, if it isn’t the Skywalker losers and their friends Weasley and Granger. You make a good group-mudbloods and mudblood friends. I heard about your parent’s sudden departure, maybe they finally decided you were worthless and abandoned you” Draco taunted as Luke slowly reached for his wand out of his back pocket as Leia shot back, “Our parents would not do that, after all they were here for our Christmas, where did you spend your’s, with the pigs?” she teased back as Draco sneered, “No, I had the luxury of my own home, unlike you” he smirked as Luke strolled straight up to him, holding the wand at Draco’s neck, “I am not afraid to fight you” he warned him as Draco suddenly went quiet, as everyone else watched in horror, “Luke, don’t do it, you’ll get into trouble” Ron warned as Leia smirked, “He deserves to be threatened, thinking he’s higher than every one” she commented as Luke lowered his wand, and Draco relaxed, however, he didn’t see Luke spin right around, punching him right in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him, then sent him and his two friends scrambling as Leia smiled, “Well done, I’m impressed” as Ron echoed her remark, “Bloody brilliant, mate, only hope Snape doesn’t find out” as Luke smiled proudly as they continued to work their way around the grounds of the school.

Voldemort was growing impatience in Anakin and Padme, he would torture them until they were battered, bruised and bleeding, not to mention unconscious, and they still had not cracked. He did not want to reveal his bigger plan until he had to, but that looked like it would be coming anytime soon. Some of the death eaters had their own ideas, but were not keen to argue with the dark lord, however if Lucious was to talk to him, he would listen. They watched the tall, blond hooded figure moved towards the antique fireplace towards the cold figure of Voldemort, “My lord, some of the death eaters had their own ideas they think could help” Lucious spoke up as Voldemort didn’t respond, so he went on, “They noticed that Anakin Skywalker has a weakness for those he cares for, so if we were to bring them both out, you would handle him and if he refuses, he would have to watch his wife suffer” he explained as Voldemort slowly turned around, his red eyes glaring at him, “I see Lucious that you have proven to be helpful after all. Go and bring them to me and make sure that his wife is gagged” he instructed him, watching several death eaters disappear out of the living room towards the lower part of the manor.

As they made their way through the grounds, Luke had a sudden idea, “Hey, I just remembered something!” he exclaimed as Leia, Hermione and Ron turned to regard him, as he went on, “We should contact Obi Wan, maybe mum and dad didn’t just disappear and he just took her to Naboo for another Christmas surprise and he has heard from them” he further explained as Leia pointed out, “But then, how come we found his lightsaber in the forest?” as Luke shrugged, “Maybe it slipped or he dropped it earlier” he replied “It’s the one thing we haven’t tried yet. Come on, we can do it now, the owlry is not too far from here” he informed them, picking up a fast sprint, he sprinted towards the owlry tower as Hermione and Ron, blankly looked to Leia, “What was that about? What does he mean? Who was he talking about?” they both asked at the same time as Leia sighed, “Obi Wan is a family friend, he was our dad’s Jedi master and since dad became a Jedi knight, he’s been like a brother to dad and an uncle to us and Luke’s saying, if anyone has heard from mum and dad, it’s Obi Wan” she carefully explained before chasing after Luke, who was already halfway up the tower’s steps.

It seemed that the room had gotten colder than when they were first thrown in here, was this part of their plan? To freeze them? It made them wonder what will happen to them and will they ever get out of here, blinded by the white light as once again the wooden metal door opened, causing them to squint at the cloaked figures floated in, still struggling with his strength, Anakin moved to protect Padme but they proved to have more powers, as he soon found himself appended with thin white straps around his wrists as a small terrified shriek caused him to spin around, and he saw two more figures around Padme, placing a thin piece of cloth in her mouth, just between the teeth and around the back of her head, and her wrist were tied too, Anakin didn’t need to sense why they were bringing both of them, he had a bad feeling about this and he also sensed the fear throughout Padme’s body as small, clear tears fell from her bright brown eyes, staining her pale soft cheeks.

Finally having being able to catch up to Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron already found him, with a small piece of parchment from his pocket and a spare quill and seeing him starting to roll it up, and attaching it to his light brownish owl as Leia spoke up, “Are you going to show me what you wrote?” she asked as Luke sighed, “Fine, it’s only short but it gets to the point” he informed her, as she moved over and unravelled the parchment, which read:

Obi Wan,

Have you had from mum and dad recently since Christmas? Because dad let us watch him show mum her surprise then they were gone? We were wondering if they’ve talked or spoken to you about where they went

Luke and Leia

Leia smiled, throwing her arms around her brother, “Thanks for including me. I would have written some exactly like this” she informed him as he began to roll it back up, “Well, I just wanted it to be quick to the point and thought that what you would have written” he replied, attaching the note to his owl’s leg and letting him jump off his perch to his arm and carrying him over to the arched window, watching him fly off, before turning back to dust off his hands, “Now we wait for the reply and see what he says then we’ll decide if we’ll speak to Dumbledore” he informed them as Hermione spoke next, “I hope you do, he never fails to help out” she reminded them as Ron cut in, “In good time but for now, let’s go get ready for dinner, I’m starting to get hungry again” he smirked as they all laughed and followed him out of the tower.

[Dark chapters huh? It all is leading to the climax. Will this new plan finally break Anakin and Padme? What will Obi Wan say in his reply to Luke and Leia? Will he suggest they inform their headmaster? You’ll have to wait for more! Oh, and if you thought that the dreams were finished in this chapter, there’s more and they’re not going to be any more pleasant]

Chapter 17

“Crucio!” the words screamed out from Voldemort’s cold, slimy lips as Anakin tried to turn away, from seeing his beloved, squirm and try to cry out, though her gag prevented her from making anymore than a grunt, it was painful to watch but because they had tied his hands together, they could yank the rope, causing him to be filled with utter hated at this horrific sight. Voldemort could see Anakin trying to look away, so he slowly lowered his wand, and Padme stopped squirming in front of him. “So, you are willing to help me or shall I torture your wife more?” he asked as Anakin fumbled for an answer, he couldn’t stand it anymore, but nor would he allow his children to become servants to this evil dark lord, “Well, I’m waiting for a reply” Voldemort impatiently snapped as Anakin looked once more at Padme, her tearful brown eyes staring intently at him, finally Anakin spoke, “I can’t. I can’t let my children become your servants nor can I let you torture my wife anymore” he replied as Voldemort laughed, “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice” he informed him, turning his wand towards Padme, once more, when the long, brown wand flew from his grip, into Anakin’s tied hands, where he quickly over turned the Death eaters holding him, breaking the rope around his hands, rushing over to where his wife lay, barely conscious, until he was knocked back by another death eater, “Stupefy!” he yelled and Anakin was knocked onto his back, feeling a cold, clammy hand grab the back of his half ripped tunic, “Very amusing, and very foolish” he hissed into his ear, “I shall enjoy watching you die” he added, pushing towards another two death eaters, who dragged him away along with his beautiful frightened wife, her hands still tied, dragged across the darken carpet, Anakin’s yells could be heard as he left, “You won’t win and you’re making a big mistake!” as Voldemort laughed, before he began to stroke the head of his long, faithful snake.

Anakin was violently thrown into the room, then Padme, before the door snapped shut on it’s hinges, as he knelt down beside Padme, quickly removing the gag from her mouth, and untying her hands. He quickly checked and found a faint pulse, obviously she was hanging on with all her strength but that strength was fading fast, and Anakin knew that there wasn’t much time left, as he felt her hand across his face, “Ani, that was very brave of you, back there” she whispered as Anakin felt his eyes swell with tears at hearing her sweet voice fading, “I couldn’t let him hurt you again” he assured her as she struggled a bit, trying to pull her up into a sitting position, “You are truly my hero” she tried to smile, pulling him in closer for a kiss as he added, “I only hope that Luke and Leia find us soon” returning her sweet kisses.

Luke, once more, paced up and down the red, plush lounge where Ron had taken his place, Hermione and Leia had retired to their room for the night, but Luke, still had a lot on his mind, “This is madness! We should have heard a reply by now” he pointed out as Ron reminded him, “Well, maybe your dad’s friend is out and is just getting the reply now or maybe he’s letting your owl rest and fly back in the morning” as Luke sighed, “I know, but I just want to know what’s going on. I mean, I hate not knowing where they are and Leia’s dream kept coming back to me about what is really happening to our parents, and maybe….” His voice trailed off as another voice entered the room, “Maybe, some people are trying to sleep but can’t because certain people are talking and are causing people to stay awake” they finished as both boys turned to see Leia, dressed in a simple, white nightdress, wearing the angered look their mother gave, as Luke looked down, “Sorry, just seeing if my owl had returned” he muttered, “Well, he hasn’t, now get to bed. He’ll probably be here tomorrow” she assured him, turning on her heel, she ascended the stairs once more followed by Luke and Ron, Leia was right, he’ll return and besides, he could feel his eye lids wanting to close before he had even reached the stairs.

As Luke finally decided to place his head down against the cool surface of his soft pillow, he felt the wave of sleep over come him and he allowed his weary tired eyes close, hoping that the sweet, calm idea of sleep will help him to relax

Luke found himself standing in an unrecognisable place, very dark, dimly lit and cold, almost like ice, wondering what he was doing in this dreadful place, he started to look around, to see if anyone else was here. He turned another corner when he nearly jumped out of his skin, there, a few feet, ahead of him, was his father, but he was like a ghost, a force spirit, like he had heard about growing up, trying not to believe what he was seeing, he edged closer, finally speaking, “Dad? What happened to you? Where’s mum? What’s going on?” he asked as Anakin gave a small smile, “We’re so proud of you and what you’ve done” he spoke as Luke looked confused, “Done what? What happened?” he asked as Anakin went on, “Leia, your friends, and yourself, came to face Voldemort and rescue us, causing a huge fight and in the fight, he fired the deadliest spell unexpectly and it hit both your mother and myself before you could react” he informed him as Luke, shook his head, not wanting to believe anything, “No, don’t say that! You’re not dead!” he shouted, “Where are you!?! Where’s mum and Leia!?!” he exclaimed as Anakin drifted over to him, and placed a cold, hand on his small shoulder, “It happened and afterwards, Leia, violently took off, striking death eaters as she ran. She let her anger over come her and she struck Voldemort down in anger and you haven’t seen her since” he answered him as Luke shook his father’s hand off him, “No, don’t say that! You’re not my father! This is all a trick! Leia would never do that, you’re not dead, you’re not dead!” he shouted as he suddenly felt the place beginning to spin and the last thing he saw was his father, smiling at him, before he faded away into the night.

“You’re not dead! You’re not dead!” Luke screamed, fighting with his sheets as he heard another voice, “Luke, mate, wake up!” came the worried voice of his friend Ron and Luke bolted right up, looking around, he found himself, back in his bed, in his room, sweat dripping down from his forehead and Ron looking across at him, “What….What happened?” he asked, as Ron slowly answered, “You seemed to be having a nightmare, screaming, you’re not dead over and over” as Luke slowly climbed out of bed, “I saw my father, he told me how we found them and a fight broke out and my parents were killed and Leia became angry and stormed off and she wasn’t seen since” Luke spoke as Ron’s eyes nearly fell from his sockets, “Bilmey, do you think it was another vision?” he asked as Luke sat on the edge of his bed post, leaning against his bed post, “No, I just think it was a nightmare, just a nightmare” he assured him, reaching across for his smooth surface of his river stone.

Leia climbed out from her four poster bed, with a small moan, looking over at Hermione, “I can’t believe that the school term starts back tomorrow” Leia commented as Hermione smiled, “Then exams” she added as Leia moaned more, moving for her dressing grown, “Don’t remind me about them. I don’t think I can do exams until my parents are safe” she told her, gently picking up her cat who had slept on her bed, and emerged into the hallway, leading down to the common room, “I mean, I want to focus on my exams but I just can’t when I haven’t heard from my parents” she went on as Hermione nodded in agreement as Ron joined them on their stairs, “Morning Ron, where’s Luke?” Leia asked as Ron answered, “Luke, kind of had a bad nightmare last night and has been up since then. When I woke up this morning, he had fallen back asleep and I left him there because he looked awfully tired last night” he pointed out as Leia looked concerned, “Another nightmare? Did he talk about it? What happened?” she asked as Ron nodded, “Well, when I went to wake him out of it, he was screaming you’re not dead, over and over then he told me how he saw his father, and he told Luke how you both fought to save them but they died anyway and you, stormed off after they died in anger” he replied as Leia gasped, “What? No, this can’t be” she stammered as Leia looked up at the stairs towards her brother’s room, “I’ll leave him sleep, if a reply comes. I’ll wait till he wakes up to read it” she informed them, as they proceeded through the common room and towards the great hall.

Luke was in fact was not in bed, but had silently taken his place at their table in the great hall, he had cleverly concealed his bed in his room, making it seem like he was asleep, a trick he had used when he was younger on his parents. He just couldn’t sleep ever he had his dream last night he couldn’t fall back asleep. He just watched everyone coming into the great hall, all chatting away and dreading the start of term tomorrow. Luke hoped that the work from all his classes would take his mind off of his dreams. He quickly turned away when he spied Leia, Ron and Hermione entering the great hall. He wanted to avoid eye contact with them, seeing how he had lied to them about being in bed and he was sure that Leia and Hermione already knew about his dream last night from Ron. He remained still even as Ron, Leia and Hermione each took their seats near him, Leia’s cat, purring softly in between Leia and Hermione, opposite Luke, her fingers drumming on the oak table, waiting for him to look at her.

Finally deciding that she had had enough of Luke avoiding contact with her, she spoke, “So I see you lied about being in bed? Playing tricks on us already, are we?” she asked as he didn’t look at, just turned to face Ron,
“Ron, already told us about your dream last night and because it’s about our parents and me, you better talk now” she went on, and Luke could hear the anger in her voice raising, however she remained firm, having seem their mother working in the Senate numerous times. “Luke, tell me what is going on right now” she added as Luke kept his direction at Ron, before finally deciding to speak, “It’s nothing, this was just a bad dream because it won’t happen” he assured her as Leia looked shocked, “How can you be so sure? We were sure that mum and dad would be safe here at Hogwarts and now look where they are!” she exclaimed, “Luke, this is…” she was cut off by a loud screeching and chatter towards the windows where a light brown owl, flew in, a small holo disk in his mouth, “Luke, it’s your owl, but what’s that with him?” Ron asked as his owl came in for a gentle landing right in front of Luke, Leia and Hermione’s eyes sternly focused on Luke as he reached for a small owl treat he pocketed earlier, “Thanks” he muttered to the owl, who began nipping away at some of the food that started to arrive on the table, “Looks like Obi Wan sent us a reply his way back home” he laughed as Leia scoffed, “Open it then, if you’re not going to talk to me, then let’s see what he said” she informed him as Luke ushered Leia, Hermione and Ron around closer so no one else could see or hear as he opened up the holo disk and all four eyes, saw an older, bearded man standing before them, dressed like Anakin, they knew it was Obi Wan, although Ron and Hermione were still confused at all this, as the holo gram spoke:

Luke, Leia,
I still have to get use to your method of replies, seeing an owl fly into my quarters in the middle of the night, still surprises me. Hope you enjoyed your Christmas and your schooling at Hogwarts.
However, in regards to your reply, which has worried me, no, I have not heard from your parents. The last time I heard from your parents was Christmas Eve and telling me about the presents they had brought for you. I hope Anakin liked your present you brought from him, Luke. But no other reply yet and their apartment has been very quiet, not one moment and your mother’s friends on Naboo, say they haven’t seen them either.
I suggest talking to your headmaster about all this while I try and work out what could have happen here and let you know if I find anything.
Good luck and keep up the hard work.

They watched as the holo gram flicked and closed off, Luke and Leia remained silent, this was bad, they were hoping that he had seen them, but the last time, he did was Christmas Eve. Hermione spoke next, “Now, will you go to see Dumbledore? Your parent’s friend just said to speak to him” as Ron breathed a sigh of relief, “This technology of yours is wicked. That message was better than a piece of parchment” he laughed as Luke finally looked to Leia, who was lost for words, “I guess we know what to do now” he told her as she nodded, her eyes looking up, seeing a familiar figure stroll past the entrance, “Now’s our chance” she spoke, sprinting from her seat, followed by her cat then Luke.

“Professor! Professor!” Leia called out to Dumbledore, who was not too far ahead with Professors McGonagell and Snape, “Professor Dumbledore!” she exclaimed seeing them all stop, slowly turning around and seeing Luke and Leia standing before them, “Yes, children, is there something wrong?” he asked as Leia looked serious, “Professor, we need to talk to you, it’s very important” she stated as Dumbledore nodded slowly, “I see, well, let’s go up to my office. Mivera, Severus, I shall talk with you later” he informed them, as they moved off and Dumbledore led the way to his office.

Having already been in Dumbledore’s office already, they were still amazed at how amazing it was, some paintings were empty and some with their portraits and his beautiful orange and red bird perched on his stand as Dumbledore took his place, behind his giant, chair, “Now, what can I do for you?” he asked in his gentle voice, as Luke turned to Leia, who stepped forward, “It’s about our parents and the truth” she spoke as Dumbledore looked at her, “The truth?” he asked as Leia nodded, “Yes. They didn’t go back home and we’re not sick like we told our friend to say. The truth is, that they’ve disappeared somewhere on Christmas night in the grounds and we don’t know where, but we’ve each being having these dreams about what could be happening” she informed him as Dumbledore listened, “Dreams, and what happens in these dreams?” he asked as Leia went on, “Well, in my last dream, I saw my mother, bruised but still strong, speaking to a pale, bald man before he tortured her and in Luke’s last dream, he saw our father as a ghost, saying how they were killed before our eyes in a fight then I ran off in anger and Luke hadn’t seen me since” she finished as Luke nodded in agreement, “Sir, I was wondering if this is happening because of the prophecy?” she asked as Dumbledore rosed to his feet, “I don’t know for sure but it does seem that way. You were right to speak to me about your parents. It doesn’t seem right for them to just disappear without contacting you” he spoke as Leia and Luke listened carefully, “What do you suggest we do?” they both asked as Dumbledore looked down at them, “I suggest that you try and focus on your friends and school and I’ll figure out what it happening from consulting the prophecy” he informed him, as he smiled down at them and watched them leave. He did not want to say much to them but he also did not want to say too much.

As the oak metal wooden door closed on it’s hinges, Dumbledore sighed, before he reached out and stroked his beloved bird, “So Voldemort has indeed striked but kidnapping Anakin and Padme to get to Luke and Leia, draw them out, with these night mares” he pondered, he has assured them that Hogwarts was safe for them and yet they had been taken right under his nose. Death eaters on the grounds, doing Voldemort’s work, Dumbledore knew something was going to have to be done. With Voldemort’s plaguing Luke and Leia’s minds, he was planting images to make them come to him. It wasn’t long before he would reveal the location to them and hope they would follow. It could only hope that they would come to him before they led themselves into grave danger.

Anakin was becoming increasingly worried, every say they were kept in here, he could sense Padme’s life force dimishing, every time they touched or hurt her. He was holding on, though the force but she wasn’t a Jedi, so she was more subjected to becoming weaker. When he looked at her, he could see the pain it was for her, to go on, the fear she had for them, their unborn baby and Luke and Leia. They had seen that they were being used as pawns in Voldemort’s plans for Luke and Leia. Anakin had tried to reach out for Luke and Leia but was somehow blocked. He could only hope that they would come soon, before it was too late.

Padme looked sweetly into Anakin’s bright blue eyes, as he smiled down at her, using more of his ruined tunic to wipe the sweat and blood off her arms and face, “Anakin” she breathed, as he looked at her once more, “What do you think will happen to us if he gets Luke and Leia?” she asked as Anakin stiffened, he did not know how to answer that question, hoping that it wouldn’t come to that, “I don’t know” he muttered as she sniffed, “Oh Anakin, I miss them already. They must be worried and scared for us” she replied as Anakin moved to hold her in his arms, “They probably are. They probably saw us go into the forest and never come out that night” he replied, holding her close, she felt his small tears drop onto her arms as she slowly straightened herself up, holding him in her arms, as they both rested in each other’s arms, their tears falling on one other.

Voldemort silently took his place in his chambers with two of his loyal death eaters, Lucious Malfoy and Bellatrix Letrange, who watched him remain silent in his chair, his hand reaching out and stroking his faithful pet snake, by his side, “My lord, what have you summon us here for?” Lucious spoke as Voldemort raised his other hand, “Never be too quick to snap out of patience” his cold voice spoke, “I have called you here to speak with you two, about another new plan” he went on, “Anakin and Padme Skywalker are refusing to bring their children to me and even as I plagued their minds with dreams and visions of their parent’s torture, they won’t come” he continued, “So I have decided, to plagued their minds shortly, revealing rooms and the location of where they will be” he finished as Lucious straightened, “You expect them to come?” he asked as Bellatrix laughed her wicked laugh, “Perhaps they’ll alert Dumbledore and we can kill him as well as their parents” she told them as Voldemort rosed from his chair, “If I plagued their minds right, they will want to leave to rescue their parents straight away, without alerting Dumbledore” he replied, moving for the door, “Now, come with me, perhaps we can persuade Anakin and Padme to bring their children to me without doing this method” he laughed as Niagra slithered along followed by Lucious and Bellatrix.

The metal, wooden door slowly creaked open and white light spilled into the room as Anakin squinted to see the three figure and the long, thick creature slither into the room, his angry eyes locking with the central figure as Padme showed her strength, or what left of it she had to him as well, “What brings you here?” Anakin barked as Voldemort hissed, “You’re a fool, to be messing with me. If I didn’t want your children so badly, I would have killed you and taken them myself” he informed him as Padme spoke up, the fear nearly overcoming her voice, “If you do anything to hurt us, Luke and Leia will never follow you” she informed him as Bellatrix laughed, “She’s knows how to play. She doesn’t know that what Voldemort wants, he normal gets and if he killed you, your children would follow him” she laughed as Padme felt a small lump form in the back of the throat, Niagra hissed at Anakin as he locked eyes with Voldemort, “If you are here, because you think we’re going to bring our children to you, think again” he spat as Voldemort shook his head, “Pity, that you won’t because my new method will” he laughed, rising his word, Anakin moved in front of Padme, “No, it won’t” he argued as Voldemort laughed, “You’re a fool, Anakin Skywalker and your children will be mine” he laughed, exiting the room, Lucious and Bellatrix watched him leave, knowing what to do, like he said, “Shame about what you won’t do” he spoke, raising their wands, they shouted “Crucio” and Anakin fell to the ground as once more, he felt like he was on fire as Padme fell to her knees, screaming for them to do, as he squimed in front of them, before Bellatrix pulled Padme towards her, she whispered, “You should tell your husband that Voldemort will succeed” pushing her down, they left as Padme crawled over to Anakin, who was breathing heavily as Padme just rested on his strong, chest, feeling the rapid beats of his heart.

When Luke and Leia finally found Ron and Hermione, they were outside in the grounds, Ron playing with some of his brother’s tricks and Hermione propped up against a tree, reading, what else, another book. Luke decided to break the silence, “So this is what we’re doing for fun?” he asked as Ron and Hermione looked up to see them smiling at them, “You’re back! Did Dumbledore help you with your problems?” she asked as Luke went on, “I think he knew what we were saying but didn’t want to assure us the truth of what was happening, instead that we should focus on our friends and studies while he tries to find out where they could be” Luke informed them as Ron shook his head, throwing another firework into the air, “So what are you going to do now?” he asked as Luke answered him, “Do what he says but try and work out for ourselves where they could be and how we could rescue them by ourselves” he stated as Hermione jumped to her feet, “What! Are you crazy!?! She exclaimed, just as another laugh could be heard and all four turned to see Draco Malfoy strolling towards them, with his two cronies in tow, “Well, well, what do we have here?” he sneered, “Thought the Skywalkers would be moaning for their parents” he taunted as Luke started to clench his fists, “Shut up Malfoy, our parents will be back and then you’ll be sorry” he shot back as Leia inched towards Malfoy, “You know, Malfoy, you aren’t the only one around here with wealthy parents” she teased, as Malfoy laughed, “Sure I am, you may think you are famous but you’re only famous because of a stupid parchment” he informed them as Hermione laughed, “That parchment is what will keeping all of us alive, because if the dark lord takes them, you’ll be dead” she informed him, as Draco laughed, “Oooh, so sad, I don’t think. I think I would be spared and all mudbloods and their friends” he started with a cold look at Ron, “will be taken” he finished as Luke and Ron stormed up to him, “That’s it, I’ve wanted to do this” Luke started, grabbing Malfoy’s cloak before another voice entered the air, “Skywalker! Weasley! Let go of Mr Malfoy now” came the cold voice of Professor Snape, and all eyes flew over, “Detention and 10 points from Gryiffindor. You know about fighting on the grounds” he informed them as Hermione spoke up, “Professor, they were provoked, Malfoy was taunting Leia and Luke then Ron” she answered him as Snape looked her at her, making her slink back, “Miss Granger, I find it hard to believe that something like that, would happen. Skywalker, Weasley, see me later” he told them, moving off as Draco laughed, “Have fun in detention” he smirked, moving off as Leia scoffed, “I’d like to get him into trouble one day and laugh at him” she pointed out as Luke agreed, “If only Professor McGongall would do that for us” he replied, just as he felt a surge of darkness in the air, whipping around, he asked, “Leia, did you feel that?” as she looked around, her face showing the same concern as Luke’s, “Yes, coming from the forbidden forest” she stated starting towards the forest as Hermione and Ron stared in gob smacked, “We can’t go in there, students aren’t allowed!” Hermione screamed, but her pleas were un answered as Leia and Luke proceeded into the forest as Ron turned to Hermione, “We should follow, in case of troubles. Remember, their parents disappeared in the forest” he pointed out as they ran into the forest after them

Chapter 18
[This is what we would a close call chapter, it’s not the final encounter but a darker twist to the story, hope you enjoy it!]

Darkness crept through the forbidden forest like a thick blanket, sending a cold chill over the trees, but Luke and Leia pressed on, knowing that they sensed something, coming from in here, despite Hermione’s calls for them to go back, there was too much at stake, maybe there was something here that would lead them here to their parents. As they could make out a central clearing ahead, Hermione and Ron had managed to catch up to them, “Just what do you think you are doing? This is dangerous” she informed them as Ron started to look around, with a frightened look on his face, as Luke kept looking ahead, “Then you go back, because there is something in here and I am not leaving” he snapped back, as Hermione stay silent, and pursued them as Ron felt like he wanted to turn back, struggling to keep up, almost running straight into Luke, Leia and Hermione, who had all stopped, “What is it?” Ron asked, staring into the clearing, none of them couldn’t believe it. A black cloaked figure was looming in the distance, with several more cloaked figures, pulling along two people tied to each other, but it couldn’t be as Luke stumbled forward before Leia pulled it back, “This is too easy, it could be a trap” she warned him as Luke looked stunned, “Leia, it’s them! This could be our chance to rescue them!” he exclaimed as Ron stood next to him, “I don’t think it’s great. Death eaters would hardly go near Hogwarts” he assured him as Hermione added, “It’s too easy like Leia said. What if they want you to follow, then they ambush you” as Luke looked back over at the travelling group, he did sense the darkness around them, but something was not right, he allowed his senses to stretch out to find his parents but no luck, when Leia suddenly heard a small laugh, “Did you hear that?” she asked as Luke looked over at her, “What?” he whispered as she turned off in another direction, leaving Luke, Hermione and Ron to simply run after her.

The laughter got louder and louder as Leia got closer, her senses were higher than ever, as she rushed another clearing, where not only did she hear the laughter but voices, creeping ever so slowly, she pulled back a piece of branch from the tree in front of her and couldn’t believe her own eyes! There they were, her parents, her mother shimming in a dazzling red sparkling dress, her hair in curls and her father dressed in his formal Jedi robes, spinning her around, “Oh Anakin, this is so beautiful. All alone, with you” she smiled as Anakin simply pulled her in for a passionate kiss, thinking that it was all too real, Leia started to creep out further when she found herself being pulled back, “What are you doing!?!” Luke exclaimed, “You just told me that the last one could be a trap and you’re doing the same thing” he went on saying as Leia looked stunned, “Luke, they’re our parents! How could you say that!” she shouted as Hermione spoke next, “Leia, Luke’s right. This is too easy and there’s something about this. I don’t like this” she informed them as Ron started to freak out more, with all the small creatures around them, Leia looked back at the figures of her parents, she hate to admit to Luke that he was right, as their parents went on, “Anakin, do you think we did a good idea, allowing ourselves to serve him?” Padme asked Anakin as Anakin simply looked at her, “I didn’t want to lose you. This is the only way” he told her as Leia felt her eyes swelling with tears at what she had just heard, “Oh, I have to go” she cried, as Luke, Hermione and Ron suddenly looked confused, as Hermione ran after Leia, Luke turned to look back at his parents, listening to them, “I just feel terrible. I don’t want to see our twins become evil like you almost did” Padme cried as Anakin slowly stroked her arm, “I understand but at least we’ll live to see them like before” he informed her, holding her closer to his body, Luke couldn’t believe what he had heard, turning towards Ron, he was about to speak when the sound of a high pitched piercing scream pierced through the trees, not even bothering to say anything, Luke sprinted towards the direction of the scream.

Leia backed away further and further from the towering, terrifying looming figures edging towards Hermione and herself, she knew clearly see the outline of the forest and the clearing grounds of Hogwarts, she was inches away from the school, if she could outwit these figures, “Leave me alone! You don’t have any need from me!” she shouted, tears staining her face, as they just laughed, “Oh no, you are more needed than you think” the first spoke, holding his wand out towards her, Hermione spoke up, her voice trembling, “You planned this! You wanted them to come into here! This was a trap!” she exclaimed as the second laughed, “Your friend is smart, Skywalker, but we have no interest in her, moving his wand towards her, not before a shot of white sparks flew straight by his ear, “Leave my sister and friend alone!” came the voice as the third turned and saw Luke, standing not too far away, with Ron nervously standing behind him, “Ah, the second Skywalker. I see you have the streak of your father in you” he spoke as Luke aimed his wand towards his chest, “I am not afraid to aim this at you, now leave my sister and my friend alone!” he repeated, as the all figures laughed, “No, we are to complete our task and thanks to our concealed traps, we’re almost done” he assured them, as Luke edged closer, his wand held stronger than ever, “It was you, you filled the forest with darkness and the cloaked figures and our parents, saying those things” he informed them as the first nodded, “Clever, you are indeed, you’ll never it for when you meet the dark lord” he assured him as Luke shouted, “We will never come with you!” seeing the third looming towards him, as a giant piercing scream flew right over Luke and Ron, straight for the death eaters, who were forced to quickly flee and Luke ran towards where Leia and Hermione stood, shaken but alright, as a voice broke the silence, “Luke and Leia Skywalker, you should have not have come in here” they spoke as Leia inched forward, “Who are you? What was happening?” she asked as Hermione spoke, “He’s a centaur, they roam the forest” she explained, as the centaur nodded, “Yes, very good. I saved your from the dark lord’s followers, who would have captured you and taken you to him” he replied as Leia felt a lump forming in her throat, “Does he have our parents?” she asked seeing him nod, “Yes, he is using them, to get to you” he told them, as another terrifying shriek could be heard, “You need to go, stay at Hogwarts and never come into the forest again” he warned them, ushering them out of the forest, into the blinding light of the sun, squinting from the hot sun rays, Leia and Luke felt like they had received the worst news ever-they knew where their parents were and it was probably likely they would never see them again.

The three cloaked figures flew towards the old manor, the lights dimly on, they hated to return without anything at all, but they had no choice, even if they didn’t return, he would know that they had failed and would come after them, killing them himself. They slowly entered through the large, front door, to hear horrific screams coming from the down the back room, no doubt, he was torturing his captives more. They proceeded to where the screams were coming from, when a vice stopped them, “Not that way” came the cold voice and they all turned to see Voldemort standing there, “I see that you do not have who we are want” he spoke, “Sir, we had them. They were in the forest and we were closing in, when a centaur attacked us and then Luke Skywalker attacked us when we went for his sister” the first explained as Voldemort looked crossly at them, “So you failed then?” he asked as they looked away, while he slithered with anger, “You worthless fools!” he spat, as they awaited their fate, they only saw him slither from the room.

Gasping for breath as the metal wooden door closed once more, Anakin Skywalker, found himself aching worse than ever, his lips caked with dried blood and his arms on fire while his legs felt too dead to even stand, which made him crawl over where Padme huddled, her knees to her chin, shaking all over, tears staining her pale face and her fingers and lips caked with dried blood. She had just being forced to endure another one of her husband’s painful tortures as she felt a cold, trembling hand touch her face, looking up, she saw Anakin’s bright baby blue eyes staring at her, “Oh Anakin” she cried, throwing her arms around him, “I want to go, I want to escape. This is horrible” she cried as Anakin wrapped his arms around her, “I know, but they’ll just find us again or we’ll be putting Luke and Leia right in their path” he explained as she looked stunned, “Aren’t we doing that now?” she asked as Anakin corrected himself, “I mean, right now, they are safe with Dumbledore and if we escaped and caught up to them, they would catch all of us” he informed her as she simply whimpered into his chest, “Oh, you’re right. I just want this to end” she cried as Anakin held her close to him, stretching out his legs as best he could as Padme rested her head against his shoulder, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist as once again, the cold, frozen air floated through the cell.

Out of breath, Luke, Leia, Ron and Hermione all turned back to look at the dark forest, as Ron blurted out, “Next time you decide to go in there, leave me out of it!” he exclaimed, “We almost were killed!” he added as Leia remained silent as Luke pointed out, “Don’t you see that there was a reason to go in there?” he asked as Ron shook his head, so Luke went on, “We now know that our dreams are true. Our parents were taken, held prisoners somewhere” he explained as Leia remembered what those “clones” of their parents were saying, would that really happen? Would their parents turn them over to evil? Tears filling her brown eyes once more, she turned in the direction of the castle and sprinted towards the great, double doors before Luke, Ron and Hermione could speak, Hermione decided to go after her leaving Luke and Ron, Luke still fuming in anger at the whole situation, staring into the dark abyss of the forest.

Hermione finally found Leia sitting on a small wooden bench just outside the Great hall, tears falling down her soft cheeks, she didn’t even look up to acknowledge her friend as she sat down next to her. “What’s wrong?” she asked as Leia sniffed, “You didn’t see it?” she asked as Hermione shrugged, “The cloaked figures?” she answered as Leia shook her head, “No, the second ‘trap’” she corrected her as Hermione suddenly knew why she was crying, “Leia, it was probably just an illusion. A trap, set to draw you to them then they would ambush you. It wasn’t them, from what Ron told me, your parents love and care for you” she informed her as Leia cried more, “But what if they do give in. I mean, you don’t understand. Right before we were born, our father almost turned to evil to save our mother from dying and what’s to say it won’t happen again, to save their lives, they will turn to serve them so that they can be alive for us” she cried as Hermione simply looked at her, she did not know about their past, “Leia, you have to have faith in your parents that it will not happen” she pointed out, seeing a small smile cross her face but it soon turned to shock as Ron came running towards them, “Ron, what’s wrong? Where’s Luke?” Leia asked, wiping the remaining tears from her eyes as Ron answered her, “We were on our way, back to the common room, when Luke said that he started to feel dizzy, so I guided him through the portrait hole and onto the lounge, where he just collapsed” seeing Leia gasp, leaping to her feet, “Oh no, did he look alright before?” she asked, as Ron nodded, “Yeah, he was still angry about the forest but seemed fine, till we got inches from the common room” he replied before Leia once more, sprinted past him, keen to see if her brother was alright.

Luke tossed and turned from his position on the lounge, sweating dripping his forehead, his eyes closed, it seemed that he was having a fight to anyone walking by but it was much more disastrous than it seemed:

“Stop it! Stop it!” Luke shouted as he watched his whole family crumbling to Voldemort’s evil tortureous methods, Anakin and Padme’s clothes were almost rags, their faces caked with blood, almost unable to stand on their legs while Leia’s cheeks were staining with tears as her small body was feeling the pain for the first time ever, as Anakin tried to shield her from Voldemort, but another would aim his wand at her before they finally stopped, after hearing Luke’s pleading pleas to stop, as Voldemort moved over to where he stood, “So, are you willing to help me rise to power or shall I continue in your family’s suffering?” he asked as Luke had to ask, “Why are you torturing my sister as well? I thought you needed both of us” as Voldemort snigged, “Oh, I did, but upon your arrival here, I discovered that you are more stronger than your sister, so I don’t really need her” he replied as Luke pressed it further, “So, if refuse, she dies too?” he asked as Voldemort hissed, “Oh yes, after she is tortured more. So what will it be?” he asked once more as Luke looked over at his parents, and Leia, their eyes telling him not to give in as Luke spoke, “All my life I grew up with a powerful family, now I could lose them” as Voldemort watched him closely, as he went on, “I’ll guess I have to do what’s right” whipping out his wand, he aimed it at the surrounding death eaters, sending them flying back, pushing himself away from Voldemort and over to his family, holding them at bay, then it happened too quick, three flashes of green lights flew towards them and when Luke looked around for his parents and sister, he found them, lying still on the floor, they were dead.

Leia rushed into the common room, and over to the plush lounge, where Luke was tossing and fighting against the cushions, Hermione and Ron behind her, watching her creep over to where he layed, before she jumped back as Luke’s eyes quickly snapped open, looking around the room, wiping the sweat from his forehead, “Luke, what happened?” she asked as Luke looked away, “Nothing, just another dream and you were in it, with our parents” he replied as her hands flew to her mouth, as Luke added, “I don’t want to talk about it” before he moved off, upstairs to his room as Leia turned to back to Ron and Hermione, she stood firm, “This cannot last any longer. We need to work something out” she informed them, “Before it’s really too late” she finished.

The tears were falling down onto his ripped tunic as Padme continued to weep. It seemed that it was only days ago that she had just told Anakin she was pregnant again and were planning on telling Luke and Leia the very next morning but now it seemed that may never happen because it looked like they would never leave here. As Anakin comforted Padme, he suddenly got an idea-if he could use his senses to try and send a message through the force to Obi Wan, perhaps it would make him come here or at least to Hogwarts to where Luke and Leia were. It was worth a try, and with all his strength left, he pulled himself up straighter and allowed his Jedi senses to become clear and focus and once he had faintly found Obi Wan’s force signature, he spoke to him-“Obi Wan, don’t get alarmed, it’s just your brother, Anakin. Padme and I have been captured by some dark figure that is using us to get to Luke and Leia. I don’t know how much time we have left, but if you could get to Hogwarts to watch over Luke and Leia, in case of any ambushes on them. It would help or help us out of here” he finished, seeing Padme slowly straightened up herself, wiping the tears from her eyes, she looked to Anakin, she noticed Anakin, seem to be medicating, his eyes were closed and he seemed to be focused on something, she softly touched his arm, “Ani? Ani? Anakin?” she asked, before she saw his eyes opened, smiling at her, “What were you doing?” she asked again, as he smiled more, “I was trying to send a message to Obi Wan through the force” he answered her, “Did it work?” she asked, as he shrugged, “I think I got it, but I….” his reply trailed off when he heard Obi Wan’s voice, “So you were captured? I take it this Christmas night then because Luke and Leia sent me a message asking if I had seen you. I’ll try and head to Hogwarts for you” he replied as Padme saw Anakin smile, for the first time, in a while, he turned and raise a hand to her cheek, “We have nothing to worry about with Luke and Leia being attacked, Obi Wan’s going to Hogwarts to watch over them” he informed her, seeing a smile cross her face, and her eyes softly lighting up, “Oh, I hope nothing happens to them” she pointed out as Anakin smirked, something Padme hadn’t seen him do in a while, “I have a feeling Luke and Leia will know what to do. They’ll surprise us both” he replied, moving a hand down to her tummy, where he could still feel the baby growing inside, “We’ll be back with them before we know it” she gushed before they shared a tender kiss together amongst the cold air swirling around them.

As nightfall fell over Hogwarts, there was a sombre mood amongst all, with the approach of classes starting tomorrow, looming on the castle and the sudden appearance of rain kept everyone inside and the mood louder, including Luke’s sudden change of behaviour, it was like he didn’t have the dream at all. He was cheerful and talkative, like he had wiped it clean and while Leia didn’t mind seeing her brother happy, she wanted to talk to him more about his dream, but decided to leave him be for now. As they entered into the great hall for dinner, they could see that the hall was packed like it was before Christmas because everyone was back, although not everyone, as the two empty teachers chairs showed.

“What did you think will happen if Professor Quinn doesn’t show up by tomorrow morning?” Hermione asked, sounding more worried now, seeing that their exams were edging closer as Leia shrugged her slim shoulders, “I don’t know. I hope that everything’s alright. I heard that he had gone home for the holidays” she informed them as Ron spoke up, “Yeah, and Administer Hearty was called away to the city for business” as Luke looked over, sneering at Draco, who had sneered evilly back, before making a threatening gesture, “I hope that they arrive back by morning. I would hate for another teacher to teach us. I want to pass my exams” Luke put in as the food began to appear in front of them and Luke reached for some food, he was starving and needed more to take his mind of his disastrous morning/afternoon.

While the rain pelted the glass windows of the school, outside, watery puddles had started to form and splash on the surface of the lake, as one lone hooded figure edged closer to the school, having finally found a clear way to the school, he just needed to know how he would enter with out being seen. He needed to speak with the headmaster first about remaining here and if Luke and Leia should know about his presence here. Quietly entering the large, golden double doors, he found the entrance hall to be empty, with voices coming from a corridor to the left, and he realised that everyone must be eating, so he proceeded up the main stairs and towards the headmaster’s office, relying on Anakin’s details he had provided for him, in their telepathic message, watching his back along the way, a soaked, damp Obi Wan arrived at the dragon statue, following Anakin’s details, Obi Wan proceeded up the stairs, and through the wooden metal door, to find portraits empty or asleep, books stacked on shelves to the rooftop and a red orange creature perched by an oak wooden desk, deciding to take a seat by the warm, toasty fire, waiting for the head master to return.

Luke and Leia, emerged full of food in their stomachs along with Ron and Hermione and the rest of the school, listening to the rain pelting the glass, they climbed the stairs to their common room along with their other friends, “Oh, I can’t believe we had so much. I’m so full” Luke commented as Leia echoed his comment, “I almost didn’t believe it myself but I’ve been so hungry” she added as Hermione spoke up, “I’m just looking forward to tomorrow. I can’t wait to get back into the work load” as Leia agreed while Luke and Ron moaned even more, “You just had to say it. You couldn’t let it slide until tomorrow” Luke shot at her, “Ruin our last night of freedom” he added as Leia scoffed, “Don’t you two both have homework from last term due?” she asked, seeing them shy away, “No” they whispered, in low voices as Hermione and Leia shared a giggle with each other, before Leia suddenly remembered something she had been wanting to tell Hermione about, “Hermione, remember how you asked me about those pictures about my family?” she asked seeing her nod, “Well, come with me, my mum gave them to me shortly before Christmas and I forgot to show you” she informed her, and Luke and Ron watched as both girls rushed up the spiralling stairway.

Professor Dumbledore emerged into his office, not even startled as he saw the hooded figure rise to greet him, “Sorry to meet under these circumstances” he spoke as Dumbledore only politely smiled, “I assume you are here to inquire about your friend’s whereabouts” he stated as Obi Wan shook his head, “No, I actually needed to mention something that may help” he corrected him, sliding into a seat opposite Dumbledore, “A while ago, I received a force message from Anakin, informing me that they had been captured by some evil figure and he asked me to come here to watch after his children” he explained as Dumbledore nodded, “I see, so Voldemort has indeed returned and began his plan” he replied as Obi Wan became confused, “I’m sorry, Voldemort?” he asked as Dumbledore started to explain, “Voldemort is our greatest enemy, seeking to rule the magical world and if he discovers about the prophecy, then he will seek to turn them over to him, to do his bidding so he can rule” as Obi Wan pressed it further, “And Luke and Leia are the prophecy and Anakin and Padme are….?” He asked as Dumbledore moved over to his bird, gently stroking his feathers, “Anakin and Padme are pawns or the bait, to lure Luke and Leia to him then he will kill them and hope that it sparks Luke and Leia’s anger enough to turn” he further explained as Obi Wan stiffened in his seat, Anakin almost went to the dark side because he almost let his anger control him and no doubt, Luke and Leia could follow down that path, “So I can see that Anakin was right to order me to come here, but should Luke and Leia know I am here?” he asked as Dumbledore nodded, “It could be best. Perhaps they won’t do anything too rash knowing you’re watching them” he agreed as Obi Wan couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, “They are Anakin’s children. I have no doubt that they would have inherited his reckless” he smirked as he rose to his feet, and Dumbledore moved towards him, “I’ll show you to your quarters while you are where you can work out how to tell them you are here” he stated as Obi Wan followed him from the office.

Hermione watched the projector come to life once more, “It’s beautiful” she gushed, before asking, “When was this taken?” she asked as she stared once more at the images of Padme, in a stunning, sparkly yellow dress and Anakin, in his traditional Jedi robes and Luke and Leia, dressed in their formal wear, as Leia smiled, looking over at Hermione, “This was a long time ago, when Luke and I were only five years old and our mother had a palace function to attend to, dancing and dinner, the usual and since our mother is the Chancellor and is was on her home planet, she brought all of us along, unfortunately, we can’t go anywhere without the holo net or trouble striking” she explained as Hermione listened more, “What happened?” she asked as Leia went on, “Well, there was a small group on Naboo, who had different views on how the planet should be run and the Republic so there was a attack attempting to kill the Queen, Senator and the Chancellor but Luke and I had stumbled onto a meeting they were having and informed our father in time, so he could foil it” she finished as Hermione gasped, “Wow, that’s incredible” she replied as Leia placed it back on her side table, she ran her fingers over her japor snippet, “Yeah, it is” she smiled as Hermione saw her change in mood, “I’m sure you’ll see them again” she pointed out as Leia wanted to agreed with her statement, “I hope you’re right” she replied.

The rain pelted the glass once more, showing no signs of stopping, Luke could see, as he stared out of the window in the common room, he was still not tired to sleep and not keen on starting on his pile of homework he had been caught out on, just wanting to have a night of fun before classes started once more, he jumped out of his thoughts as Ron spoke once more, “So you’re not going to sleep at all, mate?” he asked as Luke shrugged, “Maybe, but not right now. I am not avoiding sleep. I’m just not tired right now” he replied, “Is it about today?” Ron asked, as Luke whipped his head, “No!” he exclaimed, as Ron was taken aback, “Okay, we’ll do something else” he informed him, pulling out his bag of practical jokes, “Then how about some fun?” he asked once more, seeing Luke smirk, “Alright, you on” he replied, jumping down from his spot by the window and over to where Ron sat with the practical jokes.
The cold night air brought shivers to both Anakin and Padme, although their clothing was almost ripped and tattered so it didn’t show much warmth and the fact that they were outside, not too far from the large manor, worried them more, as Anakin and Padme, both struggled against their binds, that held their wrists secured to the metal pole, as Voldemort emerged with Lucious and Bellatrix and Niagra, who slithered out around Anakin and Padme, hissing softly, Voldemort laughed as he edged closer, “Ah, you are wondering why you are out here I wonder?” he asked as Anakin struggled more on his binds, as Lucious pushed him back with his wand, “Stop struggling. It will do you no good” he snapped as Bellatrix snigged as Padme pulled on her’s, “She’s doesn’t listen neither” she laughed as Voldemort silenced them and turned around to Anakin and Padme, “I grow impatience of your loyalty to your children and refusing to bring them to me, so I have decided to initiate my new plan” he informed them as Anakin laughed, “Do what you want, they won’t come because of what you do. They’ll come with help and you’ll be sorry” as Voldemort only laughed, “Oh but you are wrong. So very wrong” he informed them, “When they hear your screams for help, the location will be revealed this time and they will come themselves” he explained as Padme gasped, “No!” and Anakin lashed out once more, only to find the binds pull him back and Voldemort take out his long, brown pointy wand, sneering at him, “Crucio!” he shouted, watching Anakin scream as his body exploded with pain, then tears streaking down his cheeks as he suddenly heard Padme shrieking at the pain soaring through her body.

{Uh oh! What’s going on? Will this draw Luke and Leia to them? How will they react to Obi Wan’s sudden presence? Will they become distracted with their school work or will their dreams take a hold of them? Stay tuned!}

Chapter 19

As the sun rose in the clear blue sky, it was met with frustration and tiredness, it was the start of the second term of school and no one was looking forward to it, well, except for Hermione and Leia, keen to further their learning and pass their exams while Ron and Luke were not keen to start the workload again, especially Luke, having not slept all night, for fear of another horrible dream. Still, they all got dressed back into their school robes, and packing their bags, for their day of hard work, along with their wands. Straightening out her long curls, Hermione spoke, “Looks like it’s Defence against the Dark Arts first, at least, it’s not Potions” she smiled as Leia simply nodded, placing her japor snippet over her blouse and jumper, “I guess you’re right about that, but we don’t know if Professor Quinn came back last night, so we don’t know what teacher” she pointed out as Hermione agreed, “True, but they can’t be that hard” she replied as Leia heaved her bag over her shoulder, “I know, come on, let’s go see if Luke and Ron are already in the Great Hall” she told her, and with that, they exited the girl’s quarters together.
Luke and Ron had woken up earlier than usual, because it had hit them, that they had not finished their homework for Defence Against the Dark Arts or Potions, and they were willing to be lectured off in both lessons, so they had quickly dressed in their school robes, packed their equipment and whipped down outside the Great Hall, where they waited until the huge double doors opened, where they took seats at the table and began to work on their homework, hoping to be finish by the time Leia and Hermione arrived, they won’t counting on Leia and Hermione to be among the early risers on the first day, although they should have seen it coming.

“You’re not finished!” Leia exclaimed, seeing Luke and Ron still writing, not bothering to look at her, “How could you not be finished? You told me that you had finished it two days before mum and dad arrived here” she reminded them as Luke and Ron finally had finished their work, and packing all work away, “We lied, we didn’t want to bother with work over the holidays and so we forgot about it” Luke replied, as Leia and Hermione slid into the seat opposite them, rolling their eyes, they simply looked over at the two boys, just as the food started to arrive, with Luke and Ron, hungrily digging in while Leia and Hermione just took what they felt like, as both Leia and Luke, felt Draco Malfoy, eyeing them off, no doubt, gloating about how he had gotten Luke and Ron into trouble from an argument he started, “I wonder if Professor Quinn arrive back late last night?” Leia asked as Ron scoffed, “I hope so, I would hate to have Professor Snape taking our class, giving us any excuse to knock back house points from us” he replied as Luke spoke next, although forgot about the mouthful of food still in his mouth, “I think it’s stupid how he does that, it’s not fair” before Leia chuck a small bread roll at him, “Luke, close your mouth, swallow, then talk” she told him as Luke rolled his eyes, swallowing his food, he shot back, “Okay, mum” as Leia glared coldly at him, “It’s called manners, Luke, so use them” she argued once more, reaching for her glass of orange juice as Luke started to pull faces when she turned to talk to Hermione.

Obi Wan had spent nearly all the night, thinking about what he had said to Dumbledore, he was now thinking about not telling Luke and Leia and doing what Anakin and Padme had done, and go undercover and he already had the perfect identity-since Anakin was not here, there was no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher or ‘Professor Quinn’ so Obi Wan was going to suggest to Dumbledore that he take over Anakin’s role as his alter ego’s brother, Professor David Quinn, it couldn’t be that hard, if Anakin could do it, he could, but it just meant, he needed to remove his beard-it was too easy to tell he was faking it and Luke and Leia had never seen him without his beard, so he would remove the beard and have Dumbledore provide him with some new robes. He would talk to Dumbledore later on once, he knew the corridor was deserted then spend the rest of the day, preparing for his new role and identity, having snuck down to Anakin’s office quarters earlier that morning and taken some of his books, and notes on previous classes-something that stuck him as something of interest, was that Anakin had noted students who were doing particularly well in the class-like Hermione Granger, Zachary Smith and Luke and Leia Skywalker, it seemed they had adapted well into the new schooling environment.

Straight after breakfast, the morning rush started, with everyone moving quickly through the halls, to their classes, outside and inside. Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron proceeded to the third floor to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, before Malfoy could annoy them once more, but they had bigger problems to face once they reached the classroom and had taken their seats. There at the front of the classroom, cloaked in his black robes and familiar black, greasy hair, stood Professor Snape, who quickly silenced the class with a wave of hand, “Open your texts to page 102” he coldly instructed them, as Luke wanted to know, “Professor, where’s Professor Quinn?” he asked as Snape stopped right in front of his desk, “Skywalker, you really should be concerating on following instructions rather than asking pathetic questions about teachers” he snapped, moving on, “I inclined to inform you that your teacher finds himself unable to be here at this time and I must say I don’t approve of his teaching methods” he informed them as Leia and Hermione exchanged glances with each other, they didn’t seem to have a problem with him, they were doing well with his classes, what was Snape talking about? They wondered as they flicked through their books as Snape began once more, “Can anyone tell me why we have spells that are unforgivable?” he asked, hearing a small mumur but no reply from the class, shaking his head, he added, “You should have learnt this already, how disappointing” as Leia sighed in frustration, having read this ages ago, “Professor, there are spells that are unforgivable because they have severe consequences like death and only the darkest of wizards and witches have used them” she explained as Snape slowly turned his glare over to where she sat, “I believe that I did not seek permission for you to speak, so I will not take that answer” he informed her as Luke felt his anger rising, “Well, maybe if you had looked around, you would have seen her hand in the air wanting to answer the question you asked!” he exclaimed, “She had the answer, you know it’s correct and yet you just made her embarrassed by denying her answer because she spoke without permission” he went on as Snape turned his glare over to him, “That will uncalled for, Mr Skywalker and now the class will feel the punishment because of you” he informed him, hearing the class groan in anger, before he went on, “Three rolls of parchment on ‘Spells that are unforgivable, why they are unforgivable, consequences of what happens and punishment for those who do use them” he explained as Luke tried and avoided the evil shots of his class mates as Snape resumed the lesson.

Voldemort grew impatient day by day that his plan was not working, he had upped the torture more in hopes it would torment the children into coming here but it just seemed that it wasn’t enough. He needed to invade their minds more with dreams and visions of what was happening, which also revealed the location. He looked down on the stone cold floor at the almost broken now unconscious figures of Anakin and Padme, their hands held above their heads, their eyelids and lips caked with dry blood and clothes in ruins, they looked terrible and it was perfect. Their energy would be so drained that by the time, their children arrived, they will look near dead and Luke and Leia will turn themselves over him, to save them. He gave one last look at the figures before he exited, followed by his snake, Niagra, hissing softly, but neither saw Anakin slowly open his eyes, watching the door slam against it’s hinges. He had been pretending to be unconscious so that he wouldn’t be subjected to any more torture, he knew his body couldn’t take anymore, looking over at Padme’s quiet form, her hands close to her tummy, he knew that they had to get out of here soon, he was feeding some of the force through Padme for extra strength but it wasn’t enough to last for long-he only hoped that they would be found, before it was too late.

Storming straight from the third floor, not even bothering to wait for Leia, Hermione and Ron to catch up, or hear anymore comments about how it was his fault that they coped more homework than they needed, Leia was too upset at being humiliated by Snape, that not even Hermione or Ron could cheer her up. They were proceeding down to the greenhouses when mumurs caught their ears, “Did you hear?” “There’s new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?” “I heard it’s Professor Quinn’s brother” “It’s better than having Snape either way” they heard as Ron looked over at Hermione, that had to make them feel better, but Luke was no where to be seen and Leia was too humiliated to talk or hear about anything. It was bad enough she had a horrible week after Christmas, she couldn’t even wash that away with classes-her first lesson back and she was humiliated by the teacher, and for what, answering his question? It was tearing at her inside, but she would have to try and focus on Herbology and perhaps seeing her brother again. They turned around the corner, to where their class was, when they saw him, using the force to move the empty pots around, but it’s not just that, he was smashing them into the nearby wall, the sheer force of the smash, told them he was angry. Moving towards him, they quickly saw Luke stop what he was doing and turn to face them, “Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it” he told them as Ron looked at Leia and Hermione, before speaking, “We weren’t going to say anything, mate. We know what happened was unfair and we aren’t going to talk about it” he explained as Leia headed into the classroom followed by Hermione leaving Ron and Luke, “Do you want some interesting news?” Ron asked as Luke shrugged, “Depends on how interesting is it” he replied, “There may be a new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher and it’s not Snape” he replied as he saw a smile cross Luke’s face, “Really, who is it then?” he asked as Ron shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know for sure but some are saying that it’s Professor Quinn’s brother” he informed him as Luke relaxed more, “That should make classes more better” he added, following Ron into the greenhouse.

Having been gone for the duration of the holidays, Voldemort had sent his lowly assistant back to Hogwarts so he could alert him of any new reports and to watch the children to see what they were doing. Now that Anakin and Padme were gone from Hogwarts, being held captive by the dark lord, it should only be a matter of time that they will go running after them, once they discover the location of their parents whereabouts. He also had to deal with these rumours about a new defence against the dark arts teacher, the reported Professor Quinn’s brother, he knew there was no real Professor Quinn, that it was just Anakin Skywalker, he could only hope that they were just rumours and not who he was thinking it was. The Jedi who he observed standing with Anakin and his family the day they left for Hogwarts. Time for some more sluthering around.

Having just left Dumbledore’s office, with the approval to fill in for Anakin, Obi Wan proceeded back down to his quarters, where he would tidy himself up and be ready for dinner, as Dumbledore pointed out that he will announce his presence and arrival at dinner. Hoping he could pull this office, he emerged back into his quarters where he sensed a sense of darkness in his room, ever on look out, Obi Wan was shocked to see a cloaked, black figure in his room, hunched over, near the long, thin windows, “Can I help you?” he asked as the figure laughed, “It seems that Anakin has called for outside help after all” they spoke, “What are you talking about? How do you know Anakin?” he asked as the figure spoke, “I know more than you think and let’s just say his children will only live to serve he who must not be named” he replied as Obi Wan continued to look very confused, “You know where they are?” he asked as the figure sleuthed past him, “Perhaps, but I know his instructions and let’s just say, Anakin and Padme Skywalker will be dead in just a few weeks” he spoke, and was gone before Obi Wan could ask him more, he had a sudden feeling this figure knew of Anakin and Padme’s disappearance or worst, was helping the ones behind it all, but there would be times for search things out later, he needed to be cleaned up before dinner, and the day was already starting to fly by.

It was not even dinner time and already Luke and Ron were complaining about the mountain load of homework, but Leia and Hermione insisted it was only for their own good to help them past their exams as Luke simply shrugged, muttering under his breath, “If we are around for the exams” hoping no one heard anything. Dreading their up coming Potions lesson, they descended the stone stairway, only come face to face with Malfoy, who couldn’t wait to speak, “Well, well, I would have thought you would have decided to not come back to classes this time, seeing how your parents are still missing” he spoke out loud, “But I suppose they were only wanting to run away and leave you forever” he added as Luke felt the urge to punch him, but Leia shot back, “You know, Malfoy, if our father was to go up against your father, your father would be squashed and if we went up against you, you would be squashed, I mean, look at what happened in broomstick practice, Luke flattened you” she laughed as others began to snigger as Malfoy edged closer to the foursome, “I’d call it mudblood luck. I know about what else you really are. Jedi freaks” he spat as Luke shook his head, “You are going to wish you hadn’t said that” but Leia looked stunned, “How did you know about our past?” she asked as Malfoy laughed, “My father” he told them as Luke felt the urge to fight but was interrupted by the sound of the classroom slowly opening and everyone quickly motioned themselves inside, not wanting to keep Professor Snape waiting.

When Padme finally opened her eyes, she found herself still with her hands tied to the metal pole in the room, she must have been carried in after last night, her dress was ripped, and her hair was in tangles, she looked over at Anakin, who looked back at her, smiling, while trying to inch himself next to her, only to settle for a shoulder and arm touch, “Oh, Anakin, what’s happening?” she cried as he shook his head, “I don’t know but I have a feeling Luke and Leia will be coming here shortly” he replied, hearing her gasp, stretching out for his arm, “I don’t like this. I want this all to end” she cried simply wanting to go back to times where they never knew any of this existed.

The white glow of the Courscant sun shone against the glass, wide windows of the Skywalker residence, as Padme Amidala arrived home from a long, hard day of Senatorial duties, she couldn’t wait to see her two loving twins and her handsome, charming Jedi husband. The twins were now 5 years old and already a handful, driving Anakin and Obi Wan crazy, like running away from them when they visited the toy store, Dexter’s diner or even at the Jedi Temple, however, as Anakin pointed out, they always stayed with her, with Padme smiling, telling him that they adore their father, missing him terrible when ever he goes out on missions. She slowly exited the speeder to hear excited screams of Luke and Leia, “Mummy’s home!” they squealed as Anakin released his grip on their hands, smiling as they ran towards Padme, who knelt down to hug them, before strolling over to Anakin, holding Leia on her hip as Anakin held Luke on his’s, “Did you guys have a fun day today?” she asked as Anakin laughed, “A lot of fun, tell mummy what happened at Dexter’s today?” he pointed out seeing the twins smirking cheekily as Anakin went on, “Obi Wan and I decided to stop off at the diner for lunch with the twins, when they decided to sneak off into the kitchen, causing havoc and had to be dragged back out to us by Dex, who was not pleased” he explained as Padme looked at the twins, Leia, who was burying her face in her mother’s shoulder and Luke, in his father’s, “Luke, Leia, that was not how we act in public, even if’s with daddy” she smiled as Anakin laughed, wrapping his other arm around Padme’s waist, sharing a sweet kiss, to which Luke and Leia retorted, “Uh, mummy and daddy are kissing again” Leia spoke up, as Luke added, “Stop it, come on, let’s go play” as Padme smiled, watching Luke and Leia pester Anakin to come and play with them, before she quietly followed them.

Bringing her back to reality was a cold, but familiar hand, looking up, she saw Anakin smiling at her, “Don’t do that again” he informed her as she looked confused, “What’s wrong?” she asked as he went on, “When you closed your eyes, I thought you slipping unconscious again. I want you to hold on. I can’t lose you” he finished as Padme smiled, “Oh, Ani, you won’t, I promise” she assured him but Anakin just wasn’t too sure how much he tried to believe her.

After a dreaded Potions class, Ron, Luke, Leia, Hermione and the rest of their fellow Gryiffindor’s emerged from the dungeons in the direction of their common room, to prepare for dinner. They had some spare time on their hands, and everyone was just hoping to rest their feet and minds for a little bit, although Luke and Leia were still disturbed at what Malfoy had told them before class. Hermione had tried to explain that everyone knew about them even before they did. They knew about their birth and their expected arrival-they were famous here as Luke and Leia remembered back to Diagon Alley and the constant stares they received along with the whispers. They entered their common room, and Leia and Hermione ascended the stairs to their quarters while Luke and Ron remained downstairs, where Luke decided to introduce Ron to podracing-Anakin had given Luke a small portable viewing screen shortly before Christmas, so he could still watch the races. Ron couldn’t believe his eyes, “Whoa, your dad raced in one of those?” he asked as Luke nodded in agreement, “I know, it’s really fast and he had been doing before he first met my mum” he pointed out as Ron never took his eyes off the screen even as Fred and George came over to them, “Hey, what’s all this then?” Fred asked as Luke replied, “Podracing, something my dad did and he still watches” as George was amazed, “Your dad must be really skilled, with that lightsaber and now this” he put in as Luke agreed, “Yeah, he is” he answered, wondering he would ever see Anakin’s skills in action again.

Obi Wan watched as the tables started to be filled with students, coming in for dinner, chatting amongst themselves, no sign of Luke or Leia yet, but no doubt they would be on their way. He felt awkward being here, but he was here for Anakin and he didn’t want to disappoint. Looking out at the students once more, he finally caught glimpse of Luke and Leia, entering, chatting with another two students, taking their seats at one of the long, wooden tables, waiting for dinner. He couldn’t believe that they had fitted in so normally, talking with friends and acting like they were at home, he turned towards the teacher next to him, when Dumbledore spoke, and he saw all eyes fall on him, “Good evening students. The next term has began and I welcome once more all students back from Christmas holidays. I will not go into details but as some of you have noticed, that we are without our Defence against the Dark Arts teacher or Administer, who still have business to look after, but instead of cancelling Defence against the Dark Arts for the term, Professor Quinn’s brother has agreed to take over the class for the time being and I would like all of you to join me in welcoming Professor David Quinn” he informed them as all eyes saw another adult rise to his feet, looking at over them as the students applauded, it was better than having Snape for two classes, everyone thought, noticing that David looked exactly like Jesse, Luke looked back at Leia, his eyes meeting her’s, but not wanting to say anything out loud, they remained silent, something about these new teachers stuck them as familiar, but decided to shake their thoughts away as the food appeared before them.

“The time is drawing near, soon we will take our place over the wizarding world and Albus Dumbledore will be gone” Voldemort informed his followers, with a slight smirk, and eyes piercing over them, “They have been strong but I am stronger and I will break the Skywalkers, like I always do. The prophecy will be re written and darkness will rise” he went on as Lucious and Bellatrix shared a small smile between each other, they knew what he meant, he had told them personally, he had asked for their help and they would help. “Lucious, Bellatrix, would you accompany me to the dungeons. We have work to do” he coldly informed them, swiftly moving from the room as they bowed, “Of course, my lord” they replied, following him out.

“Well, at least, Professor Snape lost out again to teaching Defence against the Dark Arts” Hermione cheerfully spoke as they entered their common room shortly after dinner, “That’s a relief, I don’t want another incident like today’s” Luke replied as Leia smiled, “I appreciate what you did for me today against Snape” she told him as he smirked, “Hey, you’re my sister. I couldn’t sit back and let him act like that” he replied, ascending the stairs with Ron, Leia and Hermione, “Well, I am truly grateful for what you did but now, Hermione and I are going to try and get some work done before we sleep” hearing a low groan from Ron, “Can’t you be normal and relax at night?” he asked as Hermione shot him a look, “Ron! It’s almost exams time and we want to pass” she informed him as Ron gave a smudge look back, before turning towards Luke and his quarters they shared with the other first year boys, where they thumbed around for their tricks to play around with.

“I hope that you can teach the classes better than Anakin did” Snape coldly replied to Obi Wan, as they walked along down the corridor shortly after all the students had entered their dormorities, “I think that’s stretching out the truth. I have been reading through his notes and it seems that students are excelling in his classes, seeing as how Anakin started out with no idea about the class itself” Obi Wan corrected him as Snape gave a small snort, “I highly doubt that. He couldn’t even protect himself or his family from two attacks” he explained, as Obi Wan did not like how he was carrying on about Anakin like this, “Anakin came to this world, with no idea about the dangers and the arts of magic. He came here to watch over his family, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone was here, to sabotage his actions” he explained as Snape looked over at him, “I may have lost out on teaching the class for another year, but I have no idea what you mean” he replied as Obi Wan laughed, “I wasn’t talking about you, I’m talking about another, perhaps, you’ve seen him, cloaked, hooded hunched figure, talking crazily about the dark lord’s plans” he replied as Snape watched him, “I see, well, Dumbledore checks everyone’s background out when they arrives. I think he would notice that” he finished, turning the corner and towards the entrance to the dungeons as Obi Wan simply shook his head, some things never change, people hiding secrets, he would find out what happened that night Anakin and Padme were taken, and it started with three students who had seen them last: Luke, Leia and Ron.

The usual coldness crept over the castle as perfects moved through the castle, checking to see no one was out of bounds, although inside the common rooms was another story as Luke and Ron finally called it a night, they climbed into the cosy, comfortable four poster beds, Luke had thought that his nightmares were over, but how much was he wrong, as over in her bed, Leia was starting to fidget and feel the sweat dripping from her forehead as the dream started to flash through her head:

It was an old, supposedly abandoned house, yet, there was lights on inside. The grass outside was iced over with ice particles and frost, as the small lake to the east was frozen over, the huge double white doors opened to a long, wide, hallway, and down to a spirally stairway and the rooms were colder and darker. The hall was divided into two and down at both ends, was a cloaked figure standing before a chained half naked prisoner-the prisoners were Anakin and Padme Skywalker, but they were almost unrecognisable as the voice spoke, “I will have your children and you shall be dead, right before their eyes” he spoke as Anakin tried to lash out but the chains held him back as Padme whimpered, as Bellatrix pulled her forward, by her hair, to watch what Voldemort was about to do, “I’ll kill you before you touch them” Anakin spat as Voldemort sneered, “Not before I kill you” he told him, “Crucio!” he exclaimed, seeing Anakin squirm, while Padme cried out for him to stop, before the room was pull back, up the stairs and out the front door, over the country side as black clouded the area.

Bolting straight up right in their bed, Leia panted softly, looking around the room, no one else was awake or startled by her sudden moves, she wiped the sweat off her forehead, and moved over to the side of her bed, near her window, what was that dream about? It seemed to focus more on locations and details then the figures. They were her parents but was that dream expecting her to follow? She didn’t know what to do, as a small knock came at the door, wondering who it could be, she moved towards the door, opening it slightly, only to see Luke looking at her, “Luke! What are you doing!?!” she whispered, as Luke whispered back, “I just had another dream, but I don’t understand what it meant” as Leia looked stunned, “You had the dream too?” she asked, picking up her sleepy cat, she slipped from the room, next to Luke, “We need to talk, come downstairs so we don’t wake anyone up” she informed him, as he moaned softly, “Can we go back to sleep first then wake up earlier?” he asked, with a yawn as Leia simply glared at him, before she grabbed his sleeve, pulling him down the stairs, “No, this is serious, we need to talk now” she replied as Luke didn’t bother to argue back.

[Uh oh, what do these dreams mean now? Will Luke and Leia follow before Obi Wan can talk to them about their last sighting of their parents? Will Anakin and Padme last any more to see their children even if it’s one last time? You’ll have to wait and see!]

Chapter 20

Since the school term started, everyone was busy crammed with homework or studying for their end of year exams, no one had time to play or have fun, Leia and Hermione, when they weren’t in class, were in the library or in a corner of the common room, while Ron and Luke tried to work but it was too hard, too much pressure put on them, plus, for the past few days, Luke had still been having strange nightmares, he saw his parents but also like the actual place. He did not tell Leia about this, she seemed too busy in her own world and Ron didn’t know how to help him, except re assure him that everything will all work out. There were just too many secrets being kept from everyone-Dumbledore about what the prophecy and knowing that Voldemort has really returned, Luke and Leia, with where their parents really were, Anakin and Padme, who before they were taken, were under disguises at Hogwarts all term and now Obi Wan, as the new teacher, in a new identity, except there is one secret that no one will know, and if they did, it would affect them all.

Draco Malfoy, loved putting others down, knowing that he was above others, he lived in a manor, decorated beautifully and his father and mother were very high up. Draco didn’t know a lot of his past, about his father being a death eater, but over the Christmas break, Draco discovered a little secret that would prove very helpful to some certain people he knew. He almost couldn’t believe his eyes with what he had stumbled across one day, only two days before his return to Hogwarts.

The screams and cries got louder every night, and it kept him awake, he didn’t know what was going on but he knew that before Christmas, this place was quiet as ever, except for the occasional meeting his father had ever once and in awhile, he couldn’t stand it, he had to know, what was going on. These were not just screams for fun, they were of pain and anger and Draco started to suspect something, when he found himself not being allowed in the front living room anymore and ushered every night straight after dinner. Deciding to one night, take a side step to the right, on his way to the stairs, he proceeded down the long, stoned, cold hall, which was usually never cold, he kept looking behind him as he inched forward and he could hear voices. Taking precautions, he was almost tiptoeing, by the time he reached the voices, lips quivering and almost whispers-“Oh, Anakin, what will happened if we never make it out of here?” one asked, sounding like a woman, as the other sighed, “I don’t know but we get out of here, I will not allow my children to nearly end up like me. I almost lost you once. I’m not going to lose you again. I promise you” he told her, as she spoke once more, “Do you think, they’ll ask Obi Wan where we are? Thinking we’ve gone home?” she asked as Anakin laughed, “Luke and Leia are smart, remember, I gave them permission to watch from the north tower. They probably saw us disappear and never came back. They’ll figure it out” he told her, pulling her close as Draco gasped, ‘Luke and Leia?’ he thought to himself, the same Luke and Leia had been tormented all year? It couldn’t be there, were their parents were really here? He quickly heard the sound of approaching footsteps and ducked further behind the wall, only peering round to see the door open and cloaked figures disappear inside, the sound of piercing screams startled him, as he tiptoed around, towards the door, peering in, he gasped, screaming in pain, as the curse ripped through his body as the female cried for them toe stop, it was them, like his father had been talking about even before he went to Hogwarts, he smirked, so he knew where their parents were but they didn’t. he could have fun with this.

Draco couldn’t believe it, he knew and they didn’t, it would be perfect, he could tell them and watch them try to rescue them but also would they believe him? He had been taunting them all year, and now, he tells them this, they would laugh and tell him it was a big joke and tease from him, they wouldn’t believe me, perhaps he could tell the Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, however little did he know, that information could be taken seriously by any one he told.

As students left the great hall for classes that morning, Luke was particular looking forward to a double dose of Defence against the Dark Arts this morning, it was one of the classes he actually was good in and besides, it was their first class with the new teacher, perhaps he would be like their brother and not another Snape type, Luke shuddered to think of what he happened in yesterday’s class, as they reached the classroom and found the door open, so they proceeded in, Ron and Luke took their seats opposite Leia and Hermione, who were well prepared, even with the essays Snape had set for them, all done, talking amongst themselves, a voice silenced them, “Class has started, talking stops” they spoke as all eyes fell on the figure at the front, by the small stairway, dressed similar to his brother, David Quinn, was slightly more older and had light blue eyes, unlike Jesse’s dark coloured eyes, “Now I welcome you all back and I apologise for my absent yesterday, but I only received notice last night about the vacant spot. The homework, you were set with yesterday will not be counted, however if you have done it, I will collect it at the end” he spoke, moving towards his desk, “If yesterday’s lesson frightened you more about spells, I apologise again, but I’ll just clarify a few things” he informed them, “The unforgivable spells, when used by the person who cast them, earns them their trip to a cold, lonely cell. They will probably most likely never use the spell again where they end up. Imperio, is the controlling curse, Crucio is the torture curse and the Avada Kaveda curse is the killing curse, and once a person uses anyone, they are severely punished” he explained as Luke raised his hand and David pointed over at him, “Yes, Mr Skywalker, a question you have?” he asked as Luke replied, “Sir, if someone uses the torture curse for a substantial amount of time on a person, what will happen to the victim?” he asked, as David looked away, “Interesting question, Luke, and an answer that can be answered. If a victim is exposed to this torture too long, their mind will collapse on them and they will be inable to function without help” he answered as Luke froze, casting a glance at Leia, who’s eyes told him the same thing as David went on, moving off topic back to the usual lesson but all Luke could think of was how time was running out, they needed to rescue their parents quickly.

Padme shivered as she layed down on the metal bench, but this time, it wasn’t because of the coldness in the room, it was a dreadful thought that just came to her, regarding Anakin, he almost fell to the dark side because he feared he would lose her, now she feared he could fall again. Her eyes swelled with tears as she looked down at Anakin, who had finally gotten to sleep, his face lined with cuts and dry blood, his clothes ripped, barely covering his body, they needed to get out of here, she did not want her children to come to this place nor did she want to lose Anakin to death or the darkness that surrounds them. She knew her strength was fading fast but she would remain strong for them, she knew they would get out of her, they always did, little did she know what plans Voldemort had installed for them.

Alone in his chambers with his faithful snake and loyal death eater Lucious, with him, he spoke, from his seat by the warm, open fire, casting an orange glow in the room, the only source of light in the room, “It is almost time Lucious, and we will need to be ready for when they arrive” he spoke as Lucious asked, “What does that mean for us, my lord?” he asked as Voldemort went on, “I will put Anakin and Padme Skywalker into a new death state, where, when touched, they will be as cold as ice and placed in different chambers, then you will remain in the room as her, but to the back while you have Bellatrix, in the same room as him but to the back, emerging only, and only when they arrive” he explained as Lucious looked confused, “Why separate rooms my lord?” he asked as Voldemort sniggered, “They will probably figure out that one will find one parent and the other goes after the other, and they’re probably weaker without each other to look to” he replied as Lucious started to understood, “Ah, I see, when shall it start?” he asked as Voldemort patted his snake on the head, “Tonight, we will go down there and take care of it” he informed him, before he dismissed him from the room.

Leia and Hermione had immediately left the classroom for their next class as soon as they were dismissed, or after they had handed in their essays to which David had seemed surprised but praised them, they didn’t wait for Luke or Ron, knowing they would have something to say about it, so it left Luke and Ron to walk themselves to the next class, although it seemed that may be a little late today as two large figures stopped them, looking up, they found it was only Draco’s ‘cronies’ Crabbe and Goyle, looking at them, “Hey, Skywalker, Malfoy’s got something to tell you, you may want to hear this” Goyle spoke as Ron laughed, “Why would Luke want to speak with Malfoy, he probably wants to fight him again” he told them as Crabbe shoved Ron out of the way, and turned his attention back to Luke, “This is serious, you better go see him or you’ll regret it” he sneered as they both laughed and ran off as Ron moved back to Luke, “Do you believe them?’ he asked as Luke looked shocked, “I don’t know. What could Malfoy know that I would want to know about?” he asked as Ron shrugged, as Luke added, “Tell you what, don’t tell Leia and Hermione yet, we’ll go to class then go find Malfoy and see what he wants” he informed him before continuing on their way to class.

As the wooden door opened once more, Leia rolled her eyes when she saw Luke and Ron rushing in, late once more, they obviously didn’t learn from their last lateness, as she resumed her work, as Ron and Luke slid into their seats, “That was close” Luke whispered, “Yeah, luckily it’s not Potions, Snape would be telling us off straight away” Ron added as a voice appeared behind them ,”Nice of you to show up to class today” came the sharp firm voice of Professor McGonagell as Luke and Ron each felt small lumps in their throats, “Uh, sorry, Professor, we took a longer route by accident” Luke replied as Professor McGonagell shook her head, “It shouldn’t be happening at this time of the year, hopefully it won’t happen again, especially with exams so close” she told them, before moving on as Luke and Ron, sighed in relief, and began their work, avoiding the looks from Leia and Hermione.

As students exited from classrooms and made their way through the castle and onto the grounds, Luke and Ron were starting to regret about not telling the girls about their meeting with Malfoy right now, as they made their way just outside the large double doors, leading onto the grounds, where just by the broomstick course, was where he waited, Luke was the first to speak, “What do you want Malfoy? Want to gloat in private about our loss?” he asked, angrily, as Malfoy suddenly looked shocked, “I know something you might find interesting and it’s about something that happened two days before school started again” he replied as Ron snorted, “Like what, your dad went missing too and you now know what it’s like” he told him as Malfoy sneered at him, “Butt out Weasley, this doesn’t concern you” he shot at him turning back to Luke, “Look, you want to know about your parents. Well, I’ve seen them” he confessed as Ron laughed but Luke looked shocked, “No, you haven’t! Don’t lie. You don’t even know what they look like!” he exclaimed as Malfoy tried to argue back, “Who else talks in fear and uses your names and others like Obi Wan?” he asked, as Luke froze, could Malfoy be telling the truth? No one else knew about Obi Wan from here but them and now Ron and Hermione, “Are you sure?” Luke asked, as Malfoy nodded, “I know it was them, no one sounded more worried than these parents and when I got to have a look, it was them” he replied, as Ron looked away, he couldn’t believe that Luke was listening to this, it was lies, he was playing with him however he saw Luke go on, “So you’re seeing you saw my parents being tortured and they were them because they were mentioning us and our dad’s brother” he explained as Malfoy nodded, “Yes, I didn’t know if you would believe me because of what I’ve been saying to you” he replied as Ron glared over at him but Luke looked at him, curiously, “But you could lying to play me right now? What’s the difference?” he asked as Malfoy looked at him, “This is serious and things like this need attention” he told him as Luke laughed, “Look, I didn’t tolerate your lies before and I sure don’t tolerate them now. I want to find my parents but by myself and not from you” he spat, storming off followed by Ron, while another figure spied them from the distance.

He knew it. He knew it for sure, Luke would end up not believing him, maybe he should have tried Leia, although recently, he was not exactly in Leia’s good books lately and he thought that Luke would believe him, it was the truth, deciding to head over back into the castle, he was stopped by another voice, “Draco, could I have a word with you for a minute?” they asked as Draco looked up to see Professor David, moving over to him, “What is it?” he asked, as David stopped when he was in front of him, “I couldn’t help but overhearing, that you were talking with Luke about his parents and their whereabouts” he told him as Draco froze, “He didn’t believe me, he thought it was a lie” he replied as David looked surprised, “It’s true, then you do know where they are” he spoke slowly as Draco looked surprised himself, he was believing him? He was a teacher, why would he take interest? He wondered as Draco spoke once more, “Yes, I saw them, it was two days before I came back to school and their screams filled the house every night” while he saw David’s facial expressions changed severely, “Draco, this is serious. You should have to come to me or another teacher, if you believe it to be true” he went on as Draco looked straight at him, “I know, so what are you going to do now?” he asked as David looked away, “I will look into it and if I have any more questions I will come to you” he replied, adding, “Now, off you go, you’re late for your next class” watching Draco move into the castle as David looked out over the grounds, this was serious news-there had been a sighting of Anakin and Padme, maybe this could lead to this rescue.

Finding that they had a 2 hour free period break, Leia and Hermione knew it was best to spend that time, studying in the library preparing for their end of term exams coming up, and they were each determined to pass this year. Although with Luke being distance in the mornings, his sudden disappearance all day today not to mention the disappearance of her parents-all this was causing her trouble when it came to studying but she still did her best, handing in all homework when told to and still receiving top marks, along with Hermione and fellow first year student Zachary Smith. She still cries at night for her parents, sometimes Hermione wakes her, because she’s concerned. Turning the page in her book, she jotted down notes onto her piece of parchment when two more pairs of footsteps echoed on the library’s floor as Hermione spoke, “Well, it’s looks like Luke’s come out of hiding” as Leia looked up seeing Luke storm over to her, slamming his bag down, “You will not believe what just happen to me with Draco!” he exclaimed, causing several other students to look over at him and the librarian to cross a stern look at him, as Leia rolled her eyes, “Why do you let him entertain you? What now?” she snapped as Luke gave a laugh, “You’ll like this one, he tells his friends to have me meet him and I go right, then he blurts out that he’s seen our parents and heard their screams every night before he left for Hogwarts” he explained as Leia threw her quill down in anger, “What! How dare he! How could he make up such rubbish!” she exclaimed as the librarian looked over again, in disgrace as Leia lowered her voice back down, “So what did you do?” she asked as Luke replied, “I told him he was lying and that if it didn’t like what you were saying before I’m not listening anymore and stormed off” as Hermione spoke up, “Wait a minute, how do you know he wasn’t the truth?” seeing Ron, Luke and Leia all shoot her glares, “What does that mean? You’ve been with us when he’s off taunting us and calling our parents mudblood” Luke reminded her as Leia’s eyes went behind her friends to a suspicious figure moving through the shelves and towards the door, wanting to follow, by herself, she packed her things back into her bag, before excusing herself, “I’ll meet you back at the common room. I’m not feeling that well” before rushing out the door as Luke, Ron and Hermione all looked confused, “What did she mean? She seemed fine just a few minutes ago. What changed? They wondered.

Leia stealthily followed the figure at a clear distance but still had visual shot, as they moved down the hall, and towards the grounds, constantly looking over their shoulder causing Leia to duck behind several statues along the way before she slipped out the door, watching him clear as ever, towards the forbidden forest, where another figure was waiting for him-it was hard to see this figure because they kept their hood up so Leia crept around the other side, peering around the corner, as she listened in:

“I know who you are and I will stop you before you can carry on with your plans” they spoke, and Leia recognised that voice as Professor David, as the figure looked at him, “I don’t know what you mean, but I have done nothing wrong” they replied as David continued to look at him, “Don’t give me that. I know you have something to do with Anakin and Padme’s disappearance and have even helped to capture them, now you’re here to capture their children” he informed him as the figure smirked, though Leia couldn’t see it due to his hood, as he replied, “Ah, yes, them again. They’ll meet their end soon enough. It almost draws near and you’ll how powerful the dark lord is” as David had enough, grabbing him by his robes, as Leia clasped a hand over her mouth to prevent any sound coming out, “You don’t want me as an enemy and if Anakin were around, you’ll be dead so since he’s not here, I’m warning you, leave his children alone or you won’t live to see the dark lord return or perish” he warned quickly looking around, Leia shyed back more as David turned back to him, “I’ll be watching you. Keep your distance or you’ll be out of Hogwarts forever” he replied, letting go of his robes, stalking back to the castle, leaving the figure to watch him leave as Leia collapsed back onto the grass, in shock at what she had just heard, when something flashed before her eyes-

There in a cold empty dark room, layed the nearly dead, unconscious body of her father, as she saw her mother’s soft hand reached out to touch him, her eyes filled with tears, as a voice spoke, “If you don’t help me, you’ll end up like your dear husband” they told her as she cried, “Why are you doing this!” as he snigged, “Because I can. Now help me to bring your children to me” he added as she cried, “Never! I rather die along with Anakin!” she exclaimed as he laughed, “Soon you will, but first I’ll do things my way” he informed her, holding his wand towards her, he watched her squirming before him, pleading with him to stop as Leia saw the scene shifting-to outside, inside, the hall and the exterior of the house. The house! It was the same house that was in the last one, it’s always been there! As the screams of her mother faded, she finally saw her collapse by Anakin’s side, who was lying perfectly still, and the black cloak of Voldemort washed over them as he exited the room.

Leia bolted right up, finding herself still on the grounds, David and the mysterious figure were now gone replaced with students, on their way to classes or on break before dinner, Leia knew right there and then, that they needed to rescue their parents right now, because if that was a vision she just had-than that meant that her parents were running out of time. Pulling herself to her feet, she slung her bag over her shoulder and ran for the door, when she accidentally bumped right into Fred and George, who seemed startled by her sudden speed, “Whoa, Leia, what’s wrong?” Fred asked as George added, “Yeah, Luke, Ron and Hermione are looking for you, you said you would be in the common room and they’re worried” as she stopped to catch her breath, “Sorry, I had something to do. Where are they now?” she asked as Fred answered her, “Last we knew, they’re still in the common room, waiting for you, although, I think Luke was heading to the owlry” as Leia nervously bit her top lip, “Thanks,” she told them, rushing past them once more, hoping that he was still in the castle and she could catch up to him.

With Luke, off at the owlry, Ron and Hermione thought it was best to go look for Leia, seeing how she was not in her room or the common room like she had told them and they were now worried about where she could be as they climbed out of the portrait entrance and down the hall, they came to the stairway, when they relieved themselves, there running towards them was Leia, but she seemed distressed over something and nearly out of breath, smiling up at them, she stopped on the fifth floor landing as they joined her, “What’s wrong?” Ron asked as Leia slowly tried to regain her breath, “Is…Luke….still….in the common room?” she asked, as Hermione shook her head, “No, he headed for the owlry, what’s wrong?” she asked as Leia looked around nervously, “I was waiting to speak to Luke but I do need to tell someone, so can we go back to the common room?” she asked as Ron and Hermione exchanged a glance with each other, “Of course, everyone’s outside at the moment or in the library so we’ll have it all to ourselves” Hermione explained as Leia brushed past them while they quickly followed her, back through the halls and through the portrait entrance as Ron and Hermione moved towards the red, comfy lounge and Leia placed her bag near the armchair and moved in front of them, her breath was now back to normal but she just didn’t know how to tell anyone yet, “Okay, what I am about to say, is big news and needs to be planned out now” she started as they listened on, “I left the library because I saw something suspicious and followed it, out onto the grounds where I saw Professor Quinn standing on the outskirts of the forbidden forest where the figure moved to talk with them and I overheard terrible news” she told them as a voice cut in, “Terrible news? What is it?” they asked as all three heads turned to see Luke climbing through the entrance, eying them curiously, “Leia, what happened? You look like you’ve seen a ghost” he told her as Leia moved over to him, “Luke, I know where mum and dad are and there is someone at Hogwarts who will came for us, Professor Quinn knows it. He was talking to them out on the grounds before I had another dream where I saw dad lying still and mum crying over him, before she was tortured then fell unconscious right next to him” she cried, throwing her arms around him as Hermione and Ron looked stunned while Luke became quiet, the only sounds where Leia’s cries before Luke finally spoke, “You saw where they are?” he asked as Leia nodded as Luke looked over at his friends, “We have to go and rescue them!” he stated as Hermione looked stunned, “How? There’s no way to leave the grounds and something could happen and no one knows about where we went” she reminded them as Luke shot back, “We’ll leave tonight, fly on broomsticks to the place. We should be able to see the place from the air” before he stopped, as a sudden realisation hit them, “Draco may have been right” he added as Leia, Ron and Hermione gasped, “What!?!” they exclaimed as Luke looked at them, “I think he knows. I need to talk to him” he informed them before a plan formed in his head, “Okay here’s the plan. We’ll go to dinner then you guys leave and head back to the common room and pack what you need. Wands, a knowledge of spells and anything else while I go after Draco, then when everyone goes to bed, we sneak out onto the grounds and towards the broomstick cupboard then we leave” he explained as Hermione still had her objections, “No way, we can’t. We’re just first years. We don’t know a lot of spells and we are going into dangerous territory and what he wants you to do this?” she asked, now it was Leia’s turn to question her, “We can’t just sit here while they die. They’re our parents. They’ve always watched after us and now it’s our turn” she explained as Hermione became silent as Ron agreed, “We’re with you. You’re our friends and we want to help. You’ll probably need friends with you” he replied as Luke smiled, “Thanks Ron. We should get heading down to dinner, we’ll need all the strength we can get for tonight” he told them as the four friends quietly left the common room, their plan was in motion, they would rescue their parents.

Voldemort loomed over his two prisoners, as Anakin simply stared angrily back at him, his arms around Padme, they may have been covered in cuts, dry blood and bruises, they still show their strong spirit that they would live, Voldemort could only laugh, “I must say that you surprise me. I would have thought you would have just died already” he told them as Anakin shot back, “You forget that you don’t know who we really are and our true selves” as Voldemort laughed, “Oh but I do and I can’t wait to see the look on your faces when your own children turn dark before I kill you” as Padme gasped, “You said that you wouldn’t kill us if they turned!” she screamed, wanting to lash out at this man, had Anakin’s arms not been wrapped around her as another laughed, “You should have known the dark lord always lies. Once they’ve turned, we’ll have no need for you” Bellatrix spoke with an evil laugh as Voldemort snapped his fingers, “Lucious, the formula” he snapped at him as Anakin and Padme watched the man present a small vial to him, “This will, how shall I put, prepare you for your immediate death” he informed them as Anakin slowly pulled himself up, “Never, I think you will be the one to die today” he replied as Voldemort rolled his eyes, growing tired of these words, he simply flicked his wand towards him, sending him flying into the wall as another two moved for Padme, and Anakin, who both struggled under their grasp, but Voldemort was too much stronger, and in seconds, Padme and Anakin fell limp in their captors arms, “Excellent. Lucious, Bellatrix, ensure that our friends here are well prepared for our visitors. Don’t fail me” he hissed, stalking from the room as they followed him out, then the two death eaters, carrying the limp forms of Anakin and Padme, as their nearly dead status began to take it’s toll on them.

[Uh oh, will Luke and Leia make it in time to rescue their parents? Will Voldemort’s plan work? Are Anakin and Padme doomed and they’ll never see their children again? Will Obi Wan discover Luke and Leia’s disappearance before they are turned? Will Draco reveal more to Luke this time? All to be revealed!]

Chapter 21

As night time fell over Hogwarts, the perfects began their patrols of the castle ensuring that all students were in their common rooms, however no one knew that there four first years who were about to embark on the biggest rescue mission of their lives-to rescue Luke and Leia’s parents. Having returned from confronting Malfoy straight after dinner, he was greeted by Ron who informed him that Leia and Hermione were still preparing themselves as he had prepared Luke and his’s items, including Anakin’s lightsaber, which confused Luke, “Why did you pack that?” he asked as Ron explained, “Well, in case your parents want to protect and help us out, your dad has his weapon” as Luke understood, “That’s a good idea, thanks for packing it” he told him as Ron smiled, “Not a problem” as more voices came down the stairs, “There you are! So did Malfoy tell you anything more?” Leia’s asked, seeing Luke smile, “Oh yeah, and it took some “persuading” but I managed to get it out of him” he boasted as Leia rolled her eyes, “Well, at least you got something out of him” she replied as Ron sniggered as Hermione spoke up, “So how do we exit the castle without being seen by the perfects?” she asked as Luke smirked, “That’s where our other skills came in handy” he informed her, as Leia agreed, “Trust us, dad had taught us how to use stealth as well as sensing when danger is nearby” slinging her light brown backpack over her shoulder, “So shall we get heading out, before we are discovered?” she asked as everyone agreed, “The sooner the better. I don’t think mum and dad have much time left” he pointed, as Leia sucked in her breath, why did Luke have to mention that? she wondered.

The rooms were cold, colder than usual, but the only ones who were trying not to complain were the death eaters because they knew that Voldemort had planned this and that they wouldn’t dare question his methods. While deep in two separate rooms, layed Anakin and Padme, their eyes were closed, and their hands had been positioned on top of their chest, still visible was their wounds and now deep bruises, amongst their shattered clothing. Anakin’s body was trying to fight off the status he was in, keeping him alive longer but it was Padme, who’s strength was decreasing every passing minute, she was no Jedi and didn’t know how to hold on, and with Anakin not beside her, feeding off some of his force strength to her, it was impossible to do it herself. Though, try as Anakin might, Voldemort knew that the formula would be stronger and while it may not kill them directly. It will weaken their systems, so that if they did wake, they would be too weak to fight and protect their children, and it would easier to kill them when the time came.

Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron never realised how quiet the castle was at night, mainly because they weren’t allowed out of the rooms at night, but still it was very quiet, except the odd footsteps moving towards them causing them to hide behind pillars and into classrooms to avoid being seen by perfects or worse Filch, and his cat Mrs Norris. They slowly proceeded towards the front doors, before they breathed a sigh of relief as soon as they exited the front doors, the cold night air making them shiver, “That was close, we almost didn’t make it” Luke spoke as they all agreed, “Bloody hell, you weren’t wrong about leading us out secretly” he replied as Luke smiled as Leia added, “Now that’s out of the way, let’s keep going, the broomstick closet is not that far from here” she reminded them as they edged closer, pulling their jackets closer to their chests, they finally stopped at the small closet, “Alohomora” Hermione whispered and they heard the lock click as Luke opened the door, “Piece of cake” he told them, before he handed each of them a broom including himself. “Okay, remember, follow my lead, don’t stray too far behind. We’re heading north from here then when I turned left, you guys turn to left and it’s a huge manor nearest to a lake” he explained as Ron seemed surprised, “Wow, what did you do to get Malfoy to reveal all that?” he asked as Luke smirked, “Simple techniques I picked up from dad” as Leia added, “Which means, lifting him up and pinning him to the wall and threatening him” as Hermione laughed, as Ron replied, “Well, I won’t say he didn’t earn it” as the sound of further rustlings cause them to stir, “Okay, let’s get going. Ready?” he asked seeing them all nod, “Alright, let’s go!” he exclaimed and with that, Luke, Leia, Ron and Hermione each flew up into the night starry sky and high over Hogwarts and the forbidden forest, before they picked up more speed and Hogwarts was just a blur.

Something was wrong. Why couldn’t he communicate with Anakin anymore? He knew he was alive because he could sense a small trace of his force signature but that was about it. Something was happening, Anakin and Padme didn’t have much time left-he needed to find a way to them, Dumbledore needed to be informed, he knew about this prophecy more than he did. He knew he was late but there wasn’t much time, so grabbing his night cloak, he quietly left his quarters and proceeded for Dumbledore’s chambers, when something else hit him-Luke and Leia! How come they weren’t in the castle? No! They were off to rescue their parents, now he really needed to speak with Dumbledore.

A small smirk crosses Voldemort’s pale face, he knew they were coming, at last! Soon the magical world will be his’s with their help. He clicked his fingers and another one of his loyal assistant, Womtail, appeared at his side, “My lord?” he asked as Voldemort sneered, “They are almost here. Don’t not approach them when they land, let them find their parents. Then the fun starts” he laughed as Wormtail asked once more, “So…I shall alert the others then of the plan?” as Voldemort snapped, “Yes, you fool and then go to Lucious and Bellatrix and give them this. Tell them to administer it to the prisoner. It will level out their status but if their skin is touched, they will still be cold as ice” he laughed, hearing Wormtail scattering away with the two vials in his chubby hands and to alert the others of his plan.

Over the towns and villages they flew, edging closer and closer, Luke and Leia trying their best to fly faster because they knew time was running out, as Hermione pointed it out before they noticed it, “I see the house!” she yelled out to them, as they looked in her direction, and sure enough, she was right, with only a few lights on and a strong sense that their parents were inside, Luke shouted back, “Okay, let’s land to the left of the house so that they don’t see us. There’s a few trees there so land closer to them” he instructed them as they each began to fly lower till their feet were touching the ground, quickly hiding their brooms, they each reached out for their wands, as Leia spoke, “Okay, we’ll enter from the back then we spilt up” as Luke agreed, “Okay but I think that, to be fair one of you girls has to come with us” he informed them seeing them glare over at him, “Don’t look at me, like that, it’s because you girls are smarter and know a lot more spells to help us out” he explained as they understood what he meant, “Agreed, so Ron will come with me and Hermione will go with Luke” Leia explained back seeing them nodding in agreement before slowly running towards the back of the large manor, seeking a way in, “How do we get in?” Ron whispered as Luke looked around, “Ah, here we go” rushing towards a side door used by the servants, “Alohomora” he whispered as the door clicked and opened, “This way” he ushered them over before entering inside. They found themselves in a large, what appeared to be a dining room, “Lumos” they all whispered and they had light, “Okay, let’s split up. Ron and I will go this and Hermione and Luke go to the right. Find mum and dad before we find Voldemort” she spoke, learning his name but knew Ron hated to hear it. but there would be time to argue later, time was of the essence.

“So you are certain that Luke and Leia are going after them?” Dumbledore asked once more, seeing Obi Wan nod, “Yes, their presence is no longer here and more than likely they’re gone after their parents, should have know, they’re like Anakin, they never want to sit still” with a small laugh, as Dumbledore rose to his feet, “Well then we shall set out to find them” as Obi Wan cut in, “Professor, I think it would be wise if I didn’t come. Not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I don’t want to allow them to know I was here” he replied seeing Dumbledore break out into a huge smirk, “Who’s says that you were here before? I could have contacted you after they ran off?” he asked as Obi Wan started to see what he meant, “But still couldn’t Anakin say something if he survives?” he asked as Dumbledore went on, “We’ll handle that when it comes to it, right now, we need to track Voldemort down and stop Luke and Leia before he can turn them” he informed him as Obi Wan listened, “But how do we know where he is?” as Dumbledore replied, “Fortunately I am the one Voldemort fears the most apart from the prophecy and so I’ll know where he is” turning to his desk, he set to work along with Obi Wan into discovering where he was hiding.

Leia and Ron descended the creepy stairs into the lower part of the house, brushing cob webs out of their way, Ron was not enjoying that part, hoping that the spiders were not nearby, but Leia pressed on, her wand shinning brightly in front of her, as Ron asked, “Leia, do you really think that they’re down here. I mean what if they’re upstairs?” as Leia kept moving but replied, “Because I didn’t sense anything up there and I just didn’t feel right” turning another corner, she knew she was onto something, “But we’re closer here than we were upstairs” she added, coming across more stairs, how many levels did this house have? She wondered, but continued down them, she knew they were close, and she couldn’t wait to see them again, she only hoped that Luke was onto the right track.

“Luke, are you sure they would be this way?” Hermione’s worried voice asked as Luke peered around another room, his wand shinning light directly into the room, “I know that someone’s here and I want to find them” he informed her as Hermione pointed out, “But Leia said to find your parents first then take on you know who” as Luke shrugged, “I know what she said. I just heard a noise and wanted to check it out” moving his wand around once, but found nothing, “Damn, nothing here. Oh well, shall we continue?” he asked her as she agreed, “I think that’s wise, maybe we can rescue your parents without attracting attention” she informed him, moving back into the front hallway, he stopped, “Hang on, I think I know how to find them” he spoke, looking into the front lounge room, “I sense that they’ve been in that room” he started, moving over to a set of descending stairs, “Then they were dragged down these stairs” he went on, as she simply followed him down, her wand brushing the cob webs out of her face, while her coat was pulled closer around her chest, “Then what?” she asked as he moved down the stoned narrow corridor, “They were still dragged down here, past these cells to,….Oh great! More stairs!” he complained but kept going, “Then down here, they were kept” he finished, looking around now, they couldn’t be far.

“Oh my goodness!” Leia gasped, “It’s like another hallway. This can’t possibly be the house still?” she asked, turning to Ron, “Can it?” she asked him as he shrugged, “I don’t know. It’s too weird” he replied as Leia moved forward, her eyes catching hold of a still figure not too far ahead, and before she said anything, she sprinted to the figure, as Ron didn’t understand but followed her, seeing the figure as he got closer, it was Anakin, but he was not moving, just lying there, with his eyes closed and his clothes in tatters, “He’s so cold” Leia cried, “Oh no, is it too late” her lips quivering as her now shakey fingers reached out to feel for a pulse, breathing a little more, when she found a faint pulse, “He’s still alive” she happily cried as Ron knelt beside her, “But what do we do now?” he asked as Leia looked around, “We need to find a way out of here. I won’t let my dad die” she informed him.

“Oh Luke, look!” Hermione exclaimed as Luke followed her finger, and glaze to where another long corridor lead to but this time at the end was a large empty room, with a figure, and Luke wanted to collapse with joy, it was his mother, “Hermione, we did it!” he exclaimed running over to her, stopping when he was standing over her body, it was Padme, her eyes were closed and her hands were clasped together on top of her chest, her hair was all mattered and her clothes were almost ripped to sheds, “Is she dead?” Hermione asked, as Luke fell to his knees, searching for a small pulse, “No, there is faint pulse. It’s a good thing we came after all, otherwise they’d be dead” he replied adding, “We need to get her out of here and meet up with Leia and Ron, who have hopefully found dad” he told her hearing her shriek, “Luke!” and Luke looked up in her direction, his eyes widen in fear, a figure, not sure if he was the same from the first time, but a figure wearing a looming silver mask and dressed in black, loomed towards them, Luke held his wand at them, “Who are you? What have you done with my mother!” he exclaimed, as they loomed towards him, “You know you really shouldn’t come unprepared” they spoke, as Luke stared coldly into their masked eyes, “We are prepared and you’ll be sorry” he told them as the figure laughed, “Really? The dark lord has been waiting for you, but first” he waved his wand and Luke looked around, nothing happened, until Hermione gasped looking down, he saw his mother’s eyes snap open, “Luke” she whispered, her breath soft struggling to sit up, Luke knelt beside her, “Mum, you’re alive” he cried as the figure laughed once more, “Not for long” they spoke.

Leia and Ron quickly looked around, more worried than before trying to find a way out of the room, Leia looking down at Anakin, shaking him gently, “Dad, please wake up. Please! We need you to wake up!” she cried, shaking him further, then she remembered, “Ron, my dad’s lightsaber! Do you still have it?” she asked, as he pulled a face, “No, Luke asked could he hold onto it, he’s got it” he confessed as Leia sighed in frustration, “No, we could have used that! We need to get out of here!” she exclaimed as a menacing laugh filled the room, “What’s the hurry, little one?” they asked, with a sinister laugh as Leia and Ron turned their heads in the direction of the voice, “Aren’t you wanting to see your daddy wake?” she laughed as Leia gripped her wand tighter, “You do anything to him and I’ll kill your leader” she warned her as Bellatrix just laughed, “We’ll see” she crackled, and with a swish of her wand, Leia heard her a gasp, and someone else around her, she looked down, to see movement, her tears falling from her cheeks, “Dad! Dad, you’re alive” she cried throwing her arms around him, he still felt cold to touch, “Yes but he is still weak, which is perfect for Voldemort’s plan” Bellatrix laughed once more.

[Oh no! What will happen now? Was does this mean for Padme and Anakin? Are they good as dead? Will Obi Wan and Dumbledore make it on time before Voldemort cane turn Luke and Leia? Will Hermione and Ron’s presence there stop them from turning? You’ll have to wait till the next chapter to find out!]

Chapter 22

For anyone reading this, in the middle of this story, I have written the confrontation with Voldemort and arrival of Dumbledore like the scenes in Order of the phoenix, though not wanting to mirror it cause there are more characters involved. It’s just for visual but not much mirroring.

“I’m not listening to you! I am leaving this place and taking my parents with me!” Leia exclaimed, as Ron stepped back, never seen Leia this angry before, well once, when she threatened Malfoy a few months before, though Bellatrix only laughed, “Ha ha! You can’t escape, not when you’re missing the rest of your family” she replied as Leia held her wand straight at her, “I’ll find my brother and my mother and you’ll be sorry” she warned as she felt Anakin moving, kneeling down, she told him, “Dad, try not to move, you’re in a lot of pain at the moment” but he simply smiled at her, “Pain, yes, but I’m use to it, ask Obi Wan” he breathed as Leia smiled, “I’m going to get you out of here, I promise” she replied as Ron knelt down beside her, “Uh, Leia, maybe we should go now” he suggested as Leia huffed, “What is it now?” she asked as Ron replied, “We have more company” as Leia slowly looked around her, finding more and more black cloaked figures approaching, while Bellatrix laughed once more, “You see there’s no way out of here, not until you met the dark lord” she told them, as Leia helped Anakin to stand, much to Bellatrix dismay, “We’re not staying around to meet the dark lord, just so he can killed my parents” she informed her, remembering a spell, she had read about in the library book she had read, ‘Defensive spells” some were a few years advance but easy to remember, “I’ve suffered too many bad nights and weeks wondering where my parents were and now I know, I’m taking them away from here” she sternly spoke as Bellatrix looked her, Leia quickly spoke “Stupefy!” he exclaimed, seeing her knocked back, she quickly moved as fast as she could, with Ron and Anakin, knocking them back as she moved, “Stupefy!” she exclaimed, seeing them knocked back as they tried to swarm them.

Luke quickly looked around, he sensed Leia’s fight, she was on the move, and she had dad with her. Yet, she couldn’t get a hold on where she was, hopefully she was coming here, he turned once more back to Lucious, “So you want us to turn over to you and our parents will live. You’re lying” he spat but Lucious only laughed, as Hermione looked around, while Padme, who had managed to pull herself up into a sitting position, beckoned Luke down, “Luke, sweetie, don’t listen to them, your father doesn’t want to see you nearly end up like him” she spoke, almost in tears, as Luke nodded, “Don’t worry, mom, I won’t turn” he replied, startled by a loud piercing scream, “Stupefy!” someone exclaimed as Hermione looked confused, “Someone else is here” she spoke as Luke smirked, “Or Leia’s taught herself new spells” he corrected her, staying near to his mother, his eyes turned back to Lucious, “11 years I’ve spent with my family and now I could lose them” he told him as Lucious only shook his head, “Isn’t it just tragic?” he asked as Luke held his temper, “That’s not about to change” he added, his wand tightened, his senses higher than ever, Leia was closer, but could she make it in time?

Dumbledore knew where Voldemort was, but he also knew that time was running out, Luke and Leia were close to being confronted by the dark lord, with Obi Wan having rushed from the castle in a hurry before Dumbledore could ask where he was going, Dumbledore knew he would have to get there faster. He would appear there, hopefully before it was too late. Voldemort needed to be stopped. He could not be allowed to change the prophecy. He would see to it that he would not be allowed to change it.

Finding that the force had given him extra strength, Anakin surprised Leia and Ron by helping them out, force pushing death eaters as they came, as they ran down the long corridor, reaching a divided corridor, Leia froze, “Which way now?” she asked, looking back over her shoulder as Anakin reached out, feeling Padme’s life form, “This way, we’re close now” he assured her, running down the left corridor Ron spoke, “Wow, I never thought that your dad would have this much energy this fast” as Leia laughed, “There’s a lot of things you don’t know about him and it will take a few dark magic spells to stop my dad” she explained, running after him, she saw more approaching, “Stupefy!” she exclaiming knocking them out of the way, they all skidded to a halt, there not too far ahead, was the dark lord Voldemort, Anakin knew him immediately, with Lucious holding his wand to Padme’s throat while Bellatrix had a tight hold on Hermione, Luke stood nearby, as Voldemort spoke, “Ah, at last, we meet again and Luke and Leia, for the first time. This is quite different than I planned” as Leia raised her wand, “Stup…” she couldn’t finish as Voldemort sent it scattering across the cold, hard floor, and two more death eaters grabbed Anakin and Ron over to where Voldemort stood, “More lives at risk, if you do not turn” he laughed as Leia and Luke turned to each other, their eyes turned to looks of fear, “Let them go!” Luke exclaimed as Voldemort only laughed, “Your very weakness. These people here make you weak” he told them, Hermione whimpered more, before Bellatrix pulled her back more as Voldemort went on, “Now, you know what you can. Join me or lose your parents and best friends” he spoke, just as a puff of grey smoke appeared, as Voldemort grittered his teeth in anger at the new arrival.

“Tom Riddle. How much you have fallen” the voice spoke, strong, harsh but older, and soon Luke and Leia saw the eyes of Dumbledore looking over at them, “Your plans are about to fail” he warned him as Voldemort sneered, “I don’t think so. I shall have turned the prophecy and you will finally be dead, like you already should be” aiming for an attack, Dumbledore quickly pushed Luke and Leia out of the way as Lucious, Bellatrix and the other two death eaters quickly dropped their hold on their prisoners and scrambled to assist Voldemort, but he seemed to be holding back Dumbledore’s attacks the more he threw at him. Luke and Leia watched as spells flew back and forth between the two wizards, before looking over and seeing their friends and parents, lying on the ground, having been roughly thrown, scurrying over to them, no one saw Lucious raise his wand towards Anakin, “Avada Kad….” He started before a huge push knocked him down, and Luke and Leia saw another familiar smile looking down at them, “Now I saved your life this time, Anakin” he spoke as Anakin laughed, “No time to gloat now as a misfired spell just missed Luke’s head, as Obi Wan quickly knelt down, “We need to get you out of here!” he shouted at them as Anakin quickly agreed, however Voldemort was not finished with them yet, throwing an unexpected spell at Dumbledore, he vanished but not for long.

“Where did the scum go”? Anakin wondered as Hermione gasped, “Luke, Leia, watch out!” as Anakin and Obi Wan quickly turned towards the twins to see Voldemort looming around them, their eyes widen in fear, as Dumbledore suddenly knew what was happening,

If Voldemort can control the prophecy by either turning them with the death of love ones or by controlling them inside their bodies. To overcome him, they need to fight him, destroy him not only physically but emotionally and mentally.

“Luke! Leia!” Anakin shouted, trying to see them, through the black smoke, as Obi Wan muttered, “I have a bad feeling about this” as the smoke disappeared and there stood Leia, her eyes gleaming with anger, with Luke unconscious before her feet, she laughed, as Anakin’s face turned to horror, “Leia! Don’t do it, fight him!” he shouted as Leia spoke, but it wasn’t her normal voice but Voldemort’s, “No, you’ve lost. I’m going to kill you, and don’t stand in my way” he spoke as Padme gasped and Hermione and Ron looked on in horror, while Dumbledore moved forward, “Leia, don’t let him control you. It isn’t the way, you can save your friends, family and yourself if you fight him” he spoke as Leia fell to the ground, as her body started to fight Voldemort, “No, no, this is not happening” she cried out, trying to rid him from her body, Hermione tried to rush forward but Ron held her back while Padme, tried to help her, to be stopped by Obi Wan, her eyes steaming with tears as Anakin tried to step forward but Dumbledore also stopped him, this was her battle to now finish,

Leia’s mind was flooded with memories, she tried to focus on the good while Voldemort brought out the bad memories-her nightmares about her parents, the times when she was younger and saw her father brought into the medical ward at the Temple, near death, the bounty hunter who held the blaster to her mother’s head ordering her father and Obi Wan to drop their weapons, the time when Luke and her were 6 years old and taken from their parents by bounty hunters to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. She couldn’t stand seeing the looks on everyone’s faces again, she opened her eyes and saw the looks of horror and sadness on their faces, to her brother’s unconscious form, she knew she could do this, “No, not this time”-trying the hardest she could, she saw smiles on her mother and father’s faces as they received their Christmas gift, Hermione and Ron’s faces when they first met, to when they were laughing together in the snow, Obi Wan’s games he would play with them when they were younger, “You are finish here. I will never turn to you” she grittered through her teeth, with one more breath, Dumbledore smiled, as he saw Voldemort leaving her body, while she layed on the ground, panting, “You’re finished here” she smiled, through her quick breaths as Voldemort suddenly was gone as Anakin and Padme ran to Luke and Leia’s side, Anakin smiling down at his little princess in his arms, she smiled, “I did it, I save you” she breathed as he smiled, feeling the tears form, “Yes, you did, princess” he told her, holding her close, her eyes closed, worn out from the internal struggle.

“Wow, that was something huh?” Obi Wan smiled as Dumbledore looked around, “Yes, but we always need to be cautious” he told them, as Obi Wan helped Anakin up, who still Leia in his arms, “You look a real mess, you know that Anakin?” he laughed as Anakin laughed, while Dumbledore helped Padme, who was slowly getting strength but still very weak, taking Luke in his arms, he beckoned for Hermione and Ron to follow, “Everything turned out alright huh?” he asked as Hermione slowly nodded, her eyes following Luke and Leia’s forms, to their parent’s worn figures-wounds still visible, and tattered clothes, “At least, we saved their parents” she spoke as Ron nudged her, “And you didn’t want to do this” he smirked as Hermione only rolled her eyes, “Shut up. I was taking cautions but good thing we went with them” she replied, as they continued through the long corridors, reaching the stairs, they made their way back into the house, finding no more death eaters-it was like they had all taken off, reaching the front door, they felt the cold crisp night air, and saw almost the same carriage Anakin and Padme arrived in at Hogwarts in the first place, right in front of them, “What is that?” Anakin asked, still leaning on Obi Wan, who smirked, “Our method of transport back to the school. I didn’t think you could fly broomstick” he joked helping Anakin and Padme inside with Luke and Leia and then Hermione and Ron with Obi Wan, after Dumbledore had disappeared, “Show off” he laughed, before the carriage flew off into the night, or early morning sky.

[They made it! Alright, that’s what I like, hehe! True Harry Potter end! Not yet, though, will Anakin, Padme and Obi Wan revert back to their false identities for the last few days of school or will they head back home? Do Luke and Leia have any more questions about what happened? It’s the end of term, how will everything end! Stay tuned!]

Chapter 23

Having saved their parents from Voldemort, everyone arrived back at Hogwarts, to be met with teachers and students alike, just waiting to catch a glimpse of what was going on. They all stared as Anakin moved past them with Leia, still lying limp in his arms while Obi Wan held onto Padme, and Luke before he followed him. Ron and Hermione were next, only to be stopped by some of their fellow Gryiffindor’s, “What’s going on?” one asked, “What happened?” another asked, “Why are they unconscious?” a third asked but neither Ron nor Hermione could answer them, instead proceeding straight up to the hospital wing and away from all the questions being thrown at them.

“I’m so glad you’re alright, sweetie” Anakin spoke as Madam Pomfrey, finished checking Padme over, including the status of their unborn baby, “Me too and our child is still alive after what’s happened” she replied as he smirked, “Luck of the force, honey” he told her, as she looked back over at her two sleeping children, “They certainly have a lot of courage and bravery to do what they did” she added as Anakin nodded, “I know, I am so proud of them. I mean, seeing Leia’s eyes piercing straight at me as Voldemort tried to control her, terrified me. I thought she would be lost” he slowly informed her as Padme raised a hand to his right cheek, “She has her father’s strength in her” she softly replied as he shook his head, “No, it’s her mother’s spirit and determination to not fail” he corrected her, lifting her up off the bed as another voice entered the room, “I go away for five minutes and you too take it as a sign to become two school children” they spoke as they both looked over to see Obi Wan entering the room, with Professor Dumbledore, “I see that you two are feeling better after your ordeal” he softly pointed out as Padme giggled, “Not at first but I had Anakin with me, to help me survive” she replied as Anakin laughed, “I couldn’t let anything happen to you” he replied before he started to kiss her neck as Obi Wan cut in, “So, uh, how are Luke and Leia?” he asked as Anakin straightened up, “They’re just resting. They just have a few cuts but nothing that won’t kill them” he answered him, looking over at the two sleeping forms of his children.

Drifting in and out of sleep, Leia heard the voices of her parents, Obi Wan and Dumbledore conversing, as she layed against the softness of her pillow, she didn’t remember much, but knew that they were not back the manor anymore. Hermione’s voice entering her mind, “Leia? Are you awake?” she asked as Leia slowly open her eyes, looking around, she found herself in the hospital wing as Hermione gushed, “Leia! You’re awake! It’s good to see you happy again” she informed her, her statement attracting Anakin, Padme, Obi Wan and Dumbledore over, while Leia pulled herself up into a sitting position, “It’s not like I was in a coma” she giggled as Anakin smiled down at her, “You made us worried though, especially with Voldemort” as another voice spoke, “Why did he choose her and not me?” they asked as everyone all turned to see Luke sitting up in his bed, Ron sitting nearby, as everyone didn’t know how to answer that question, “I think I know that answer” Dumbledore spoke, moving in between Leia and Luke, “You see, Voldemort wanted to turn you two over to him, so that he could use your powers to take over the magical world, however, last night, when he saw you two there, he discovered something” he paused, as everyone listened in, so he went on, “He discovered that Leia was the one with more anger and determination not to fail and he knew that she was the key to his power” he finished as Luke nodded, “I understand that dream now” going on, “A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I was in a graveyard and I saw dad’s force ghost and he told me that we went to rescue them but Voldemort killed them and Leia fumed with anger, ran off and I hadn’t seen her since” before Obi Wan laughed, “Ha, she does have your temper after all, doesn’t she Anakin?” he asked, as Anakin rolled his eyes, as Padme moved over to Leia while he moved over to Luke, “Never the less, we’re both very proud of you and happy to be here with you” Padme informed them, before each embraced their children.

Knowing well enough, that the twins were both well enough to leave the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey allowed them to leave shortly after lunch, unfortunately, that’s when they discovered that Anakin, Padme and Obi Wan were all leaving shortly, wanting them to stay till the end, Anakin smirked, “Come on, you too, it’s only a few more days. You won’t even noticed the difference” he pointed to Luke, sitting in their common room that afternoon as Luke sighed, “Yeah, but dad, I nearly lost you. I don’t want to see that happen again” he confessed as Anakin laughed, “You have nothing to worry about. This time, we’ll be extra careful” he assured him as Padme entered the room, dressed in one of her beautiful dresses, her bruises still showing but will fade in time, Leia behind her, “Come on, mom, what’s the big news you couldn’t tell me before?” she asked once more as Padme took a seat next to Anakin, “Do you want to tell them or should I?” she smiled, practically glowing making him smirk, “You know you want to” he replied as she laughed, turning back to her children, “Okay, now we were going to tell you after Christmas but that didn’t happen so here it is” she started, “I’m pregnant, so you’re going to have a new brother or sister soon” she announced seeing Leia and Luke’s faces drop, “By the force! This is amazing” Luke exclaimed as Leia rushed over to her mother, “I can’t believe it. This is wonderful news”. There were smiles all around, and lots of talk about if it was a girl or boy, it was perfect but all good things come to a end and it was almost time.

A small knock came on the fireplace, and Anakin, Padme, Luke and Leia all saw Obi Wan standing nearby, with Hermione, Ron and a few other of their friends behind them, watching and trying to get a glimpse once more as Obi Wan spoke, “I hate to cut in but it’s time to go” he announced as Leia and Luke’s faces turned to sadness and Anakin and Padme rose to their feet, “Cheer up, you two. It’s only a few days like I said. Trust me, in a few days, you’ll be seeing us awaiting your arrival on the platform” he promised, helping Padme into her coat, it has been nearly four months and she was starting to show her pregnancy bump, hence the need to wear the long, beautiful formal dress, she slid her arm through Anakin’s, “I know it’s sad now but we love you and will see you shortly. Now come on, come say goodbye” she smiled, leading them out the door, parting the now ever growing crowd before them as Anakin, Padme and Obi Wan followed them, whispers forming around them while they all smiled and proceeded towards the entrance hall, where Dumbledore awaited them, “It was lovely having you here” he spoke, with a wink, hidden from everyone else as Padme smiled, “Thankyou for having us here and for saving us” she informed him as Anakin joked, “And for keeping Luke and Leia under control while we weren’t around” with a wink back to Dumbledore and proceeding outside to their awaiting carriage, Obi Wan entered first while they turned back to Luke and Leia, “Now, I know it’s near the end of term but be good” Padme warned as Luke and Leia nodded, “We will” with a wink to each other as Anakin embraced them next, “Finish all your work and see you shortly” he replied, helping Padme into the carriage, before they waved goodbye and before they could even blink, the carriage was up and into the sky, until it was a tiny spot high in the sky.

The crowd began to disappear once the carriage disappeared from view, leaving Luke, Leia, Hermione and Ron, who breathed a sigh of relief, “Well, wasn’t that interesting? Something for the books?” he asked, looking around as Luke agreed, “Yeah, it was. Unbelievable, we did. Let’s hope it’s all finished for now” he replied, adding, “Last one to the lake has to thank Draco for his help!” he exclaimed sprinting at speed towards the lake followed by Ron then Leia and Hermione, who didn’t even bother to involve themselves with their silly little games, instead Hermione wanted to talk more about Leia’s family and more stories. “You know for what has just happened to your parents, they seem like they’ve been use to it before” she spoke as Leia laughed, “Oh trust me, they have been through a lot worse and seen death plenty of times” she answered her, as Hermione seemed surprised, “Really? Was this before you were born?” she asked as Leia nodded, “Yes and even afterwards” she corrected her, before she started to explain herself more, “There was one time, where Luke and I were just four years old and my dad and Obi Wan went on a dangerous mission to catch a dangerous enemy trying to start up the Empire again so they went after him, however, he was one step ahead of him and planned a decoy on a far off planet to distract them before he came to our house and kidnapped Luke, myself and our mom in order to lead dad to him so he could turn him where Palpatine had failed before” pausing, Hermione looked at her curiously, “And what happened?” she asked, seeing her go on, “When dad found out, he was furious, literally, storming through the Temple, trying to find out why the Jedi let this happen before Obi Wan told him to calm himself down, less he falls once more and he did but a holo recording sent to him of this enemy torturing our mom while Luke and I were crying in the background, made him more angry and stormed straight to a fighter and took off” taking another breath, “He tracked us down and Obi Wan caught up to him, and together they stormed the palace to the throne room, where they found my mom with a blaster being held to her head and Luke and me hunched nearby. A huge fight breaks out and he quickly appended” looking down at the ground, “However without casualties” she finished as Hermione gasped, so she answered her gasp, “Before he was handled with, he shot Obi Wan in the shoulder, then he shot our mom in the arm and dad in the chest. Obi Wan and mom were taken care of but dad nearly loss his life, had the bolt hit any closer to his heart” as Hermione gushed “Wow, that was unbelievable. I can’t believe it” she replied as Leia shook her head, “Anyway, it’s all in the past, now come on, let’s go have some fun” she smiled, racing over to where Luke and Ron were, now busy tackling themselves on the ground near the cool deep black surface of the lake.

As the carriage gently touched back down on the concrete surface of the platform, Anakin stepped out of the carriage first, turning back to help Padme out, followed by Obi Wan, it was good to be back, so close to home now. Though it was different without Luke and Leia, in a few days, they would be home for the summer as they collected their luggage and made their way through the empty platform, “I can’t believe what a year it’s been” Anakin gushed as Obi Wan agreed, “I’ll say. I’ve never had to learn so many new things this time. You weren’t kidding when you first informed me about defence against the dark arts” as Anakin laughed, “I told it wasn’t easy and I was right, but I managed” he cheekily replied as Padme stifle a giggle, “Oh you, it wasn’t that hard. I thought you did incredible well” as Anakin turned to her, “And I thought you were the most beautiful woman there, sweetie” he informed her making her blush, “Oh Ani” she gushed as they turned one more corner and came across the familiar grey wall, “Well, here we are. It won’t be long before we’re back here again” Anakin spoke as Obi Wan stepped forward, “Yeah, well, see you” he told them and with that, he was gone as Anakin held onto Padme tightly, “I’ll be right behind, trust me” he assured her, before she grinned, “I know” sharing one more passionate kiss together before she jumped through the wall before Anakin proceeded after her.

[Ha, If you thought that this was the last chapter, you were wrong! One more chapter and it’s all over, just getting sad now thinking about it. Hope you enjoy this chapter? Everything wrapped up nicely in the end, didn’t it. So far, so good, can it remain that way?]

[sexystarwarslover]

Chapter 24

Halfway through this chapter, there is a beautiful romantic scene with Anakin and Padme and I couldn’t resist using a favourite song of mine for the scene.

As the clear, white sun rose into the morning blue sky, everyone was filled with sadness or relief that the school term was over, at least for the summer. Luke, Leia, Ron and Hermione all woke that morning, feeling tired and lazy, but they simply packed their belongings while taking the time to chat to each other.

Leia started to fold one of her beautiful, gorgeous, dresses her mother had brought her for Christmas in her trunk, when Hermione spoke, “It feels strange that school is ending for the term isn’t it?” she asked as Leia nodded, “Yeah but it’s been a year that has filled me with some of the most terrifying nights of my life” she replied, “I mean I loved having my parents here for Christmas, playing in the snow with you guys and learning all the new lessons for the first time ever and I’ll be excited to come back next time. It’s the nightmares, the fight with Voldemort and getting trouble here I won’t miss” she giggled as Hermione laughed too, “Yeah, I’ll agree with that, but at leat we saved your parents” she added as Leia gently picked up a holo gram-it was of herself, Luke and her parents when they spent the day in Hogsmeade. It had been a cold day but one that was filled with surprises.

Luke and Leia laughed as they both aimed another snowball each at Anakin and Padme, which made Anakin decide to be sneaky and using the force aimed five snowballs at once directly back at them. “Hey, dad! That’s cheating!” Luke called back as Anakin pointed out, “You didn’t make any rules so it’s not really cheating” he laughed as Padme giggled, ducking behind Anakin, as another ball just missed her before she rolled up one of her own and threw it towards Luke. They were just outside of Hogmeade, Luke and Leia had wanted to show them a house that they had read about when Luke and Leia decided to start a snowball fight against their parents, although, Anakin was using the force and they were now regretting having started the fight. Luke saw his escape, “Leia, when I say go, run through the trees. I’ll be right behind you” he instructed as she understood, as he threw another snow ball, distracting them both. Leia ran followed by Luke. “Hey, now that’s not right!” Anakin exclaimed, noticing their escape. Padme ran ahead of him, “Well, come on, let’s go catch up to them” she smirked as Anakin only laughed, and ran after her to catch up to their run away twins.

Leia smiled once more, as Hermione looked over her shoulder, before Leia placed it back into her trunk. “You look like you had a lot of fun when they were here” she noted, “It’s a shame that I wasn’t here that time” she added as Leia looked over at her, “Me too, but at least you still got to see them here before they left” she assured her as Hermione nodded, “That’s true and it was very nice to meet them” she told her as Leia continued to fold her belongings into her trunk before finally closing the lid. “Yeah, I’m glad you got to” she told her, echoing her response, adjusting herself in the mirror, but walking out of the room with Hermione, to meet up with Luke and Ron.

“Luke, why are we doing this? Just because it’s the last day doesn’t mean that we won’t get into trouble and we can’t lose more points” Ron pointed out seeing Luke sneak along the corridor, with some of Fred and George’s tricks. “Would you relax? Gryiffindor has enough points to win and probably earn some more in these last few days. Let’s just how see how this works out” he sniggered, setting up the tricks along the stair way before jumping over them back to where Ron stood, “Okay, now we hide and watch the fireworks” he smirked, rushing around the corner, they quickly poked their head around as a group of students, including Draco Malfoy and his two ‘cronies’ emerged towards the stairs for the Great Hall. “One, two, three” Luke counted, and right on three, the screams started as fireworks shot up directly before the students, causing chaos, rushing around, one just missed Malfoy but had slightly hit Crabbe. Luke couldn’t help himself but burst out laughter as Ron joined him finding the sight highly amusing, “You were right, this is funny” he laughed as Luke nodded, trying to his sides, now starting to hurt from laughing so hard, “Told you it was and it was worth it” he laughed, listening to the sound of array of fireworks going off, before starting to wind down.

Feeling good to be home, Anakin and Padme knew that they should spend as much time together as they could because Luke and Leia would be home shortly and they would want to spend time with them. Anakin had all these romantic plans for them and had told Padme to dress up, because he was taking her some place beautiful for their first night home. She sat at her dress, simply combing through her curls, before she took one of her golden, violet hairclips and clipping most of her curls up in the clip. Her pregnancy bump quite visible as she neared her due date, she wore a stunning, pale pink and purple dress which looked divine on her figure, despite the growing bump. She wore pale pink and purple heels and finished it off with a simple, stylish silver wrap. Her eyes stared into her mirror at the emerging figure of her handsome Jedi husband from the fresher. His blond sandy hair was still wet and he only wore his black pants bearing his naked torso. He looked so handsome just standing there. She still saw the scars and bruises from their ordeal but at least she had him. Her eyes never left his figure as he spoke, “See something you like, m’lady?” he smirked without even turning around. She simply nodded, “Yes, I do” she giggled moving over to him, she wrapped her arms around him, making him laugh, “You ready for your night out on the town?” he asked as she smiled, “I am just dying to see what you have planned” she teased as he laughed, “Well, let’s get dressed and we can head out” he informed her, slipping into his shirt and jacket while she slipped a light, pale pink cloak over her beautiful dress before taking Anakin’s arm and together they both exited their apartment and taking off into the night traffic.

Leia and Hermione proceeded along with the rest of their class mates towards the great hall, where the end of year feast was about to begin. They had heard that there had been some troubles with fireworks on the grand stairs earlier and they hated to think that was where Luke and Ron had been when they couldn’t find them around their common room. “They never learn do they?” Leia asked Hermione as they neared the hall, as Hermione laughed, “Boys will be boys and they were probably just letting down some end of year fun” she replied as Leia rolled her eyes, “Whatever it is, you are lucky that you don’t have a brother because growing up with Luke. He would get me into all kinds of trouble” she informed her as she only giggled, “But I bet you probably had a whole lot of fun” she pointed out as Leia rolled her eyes, “Oh, yeah a whole lot of fun” she told her as Luke and Ron came running around the corner, almost out of breath, “Okay, if anyone ask, we’ve been with you all day packing” Luke blurted out as Hermione gasped, “It was you!” she exclaimed, as Luke waved his arms before her, “Dial it down okay?” he asked, before going on, “Yes, it was us but it was the last day and we needed to have some last day fun” he smirked as Ron added, “It was quite funny, seeing the fireworks fly around Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle” as Leia looked shocked, “You still hate him after he helped us to find mom and dad!” she exclaimed as Luke sighed, “Oh come on, he’s still hating us. It was a one time thing and it was funny” he sniggered as Leia flicked her hair back behind her ears, “Do whatever you want but let’s just get through this feast in one piece” she informed them and with that the four of them entered through the golden large doors one last time, ready for anything.

Padme could not believe that Anakin had done everything for her, it was a beautiful night and he was treating her beautifully as always. The music began to play once more and Anakin rose to his feet and stepped in front of her with his hand outstretched, “May I have this dance, M’Lady?” he smirked as she willingly took it, “I would be honoured, Jedi” she giggled, as he waltzed her out onto the dance, holding her close. He kept his arms wrapped around her waist as she kept her right hand on her shoulder while her left was around his waist, her dress spinning around her legs,

Oh, how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching
That famous happy ending
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming

Anakin dipped Padme back gently before bringing her back to him, he smiled his cutest smile she had fallen in love with all those years ago, “I love you, Padme” he whispered as Padme blushed, “I know you do and I love you even more” she smiled as he laughed, “That’s not possible because I’ve loved you ever since you came into my life” as she felt like she wanted to cry, “Oh Ani” she cried, bringing her lips close to his’s, they shared a beautiful passionate kiss under the silvery lights but a voice cut in, “Excuse me, Chancellor, may I cut in?” they asked as Anakin and Padme both turned to see a tall, very charming Falleen standing before them, Padme sighed, “Prince Xizor. Can’t you see that I am with my husband tonight. I wish to be left alone with him because he is the only man for me” she strongly replied, realizing he was trying to seduce her to him with his charms, “Oh but m’lady, I just want a moment” he tried to explain but Anakin stepped in, “Leave now before I have you forcefully removed from the restaurant” he firmly informed him giving him no choice but to leave as Padme smirked, “Why don’t they just leave us alone?” she asked as Anakin laughed, turning to her, “Because you are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy and are just jealous” making her blush, “Well, they can be jealous all they want because I love you” she informed him, as their lips touched once more.

The great hall was decked out in red and yellow colours meaning that Gryiffindor had won the house group to their delight, Luke looked over at Draco and saw him sneer coldly at him but Luke only shot back the same glare. He didn’t care they won and he would enjoy this feast but it was about to get more interesting as Professor McGonagell called their attention to the headmaster, who rose to his feet and all eyes were staring at him. “Another year come and gone and for our first years, they have survived their first year if not with a few bumps along the way and I have a few last minutes points to hand out” he informed the students, who all started muttering to each other, confused by what he meant. “As you may have heard in the news, the dark lord has been defeated once more after a vicious battle and it would not have been done if not for some courageous students” he went on, “First to Miss Hermione Granger. For her courage and intelligence when others needed help in the face of danger. 50 points” he smiled as she looked over at Luke, who gave her a slight wink. He had told Dumbledore how she forced him to stay on track at the manor and it was worth telling him as he spoke once more, “Second to Mr Ronald Weasley, for intelligence to help out friends in the presence of enemies. 50 points” he informed them, as Ron felt his jaw drop as Leia smiled at him. She had spoke about how Ron guided her away from Bellatrix and how they saved her father before Dumbledore spoke again, “And finally to Luke and Leia Skywalker, for standing strong when face with difficult decisions and saved their parents from certain death but also their very souls” he finished as Leia felt herself blush with Luke turned back to Draco and sneered in gloat at him as applauses rung through the hall and everyone was coming up to them, cheering and praising them. Gryiffindor now was well in the lead and had truly won the house cup. Leia looked over at Luke, and she yelled over the cheering, “Well, we did it Luke!” as Luke nodded, “Indeed we did” he replied looking over at Dumbledore, who gave him a slight wink and a small nod. They had done it and as the house cup was brought over to their table-Leia and Luke held it firmly with Ron’s brother Percy and couldn’t stop the cheers on their faces, it was truly the best day of their lives.

Anakin and Padme returned to their apartment just after midnight with the traffic still blaring past as she giggled while he carried her upstairs, “Oh Anakin, this night as been perfect” she informed him as Anakin agreed, “Anything for my angel and after tonight, we won’t have a night like this for a long time” he smirked, reaching their room, he placed her back down on her feet as she sighed, “I know, but I can’t wait to see them once more. We’ll be a family once more” she cried, placing a hand on top of her belly as Anakin held her once more, “Plus one” he corrected her, before he decided to explain his last surprise, “Padme, I have one more surprise” he started as she seemed surprised still, “Ani, you have done enough” she warned but he smirked, “Padme, I have planned for us that once Luke and Leia are back home from tomorrow, and after our new child is born shortly, we are taking our family for a holiday at our Lake Retreat on Naboo” he informed her as she gasped but he quickly went on, “Where, in front of all our children, family and friends we will renew our wedding vows once again” he finished as Padme felt like she was going to faint, “Oh Ani. This is too much” she cried, falling into his arms, they shared another kiss together in their happy moment.
