Chapter 1
Present...
"What do you mean? Two of our first years are from another galaxy?" Professor McGonagall asked a bit confused as she stood in the Headmaster's office.
"Just that Minerva. They are twins from another galaxy. Their grandfather has helped me out in the past and now I am repaying my debt to him." Albus Dumbledore said, gently stroking his beard as he sat in his high backed chair at his large desk in the center of his office.
"Do they even have magic abilities?" she asked, still a bit unsure about this entire situation.
"Oh yes! And they are both very strong indeed."
"But why are they even coming here?"
"It seems as if the children aren't safe. That is why their grandfather wants to send them here."
"That still doesn't answer my questions."
"I know Minerva, but that was all Anakin told me…"
Out of nowhere, three figures appeared in a clearing not too far outside of outer limits of Greater London. There was a tall older man as well as a younger boy, along with a young girl. They quickly made their way against the backdrop of night, towards the lights of Central London.
After what seemed like a lifetime, they made it to their destination – the Leaky Cauldron. There was already a room waiting for them. As soon as their heads hit their pillows, the young boy and girl were fast asleep. That left the older man to watch over them as they slept.
Anakin Skywalker sighed in relief for the first time in days as he watched his youngest twin grandchildren sleep peacefully. He was bringing them to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to protect them. He needed to protect them from what almost destroyed him – the Sith.
Technically, he had been destroyed by the Sith and confined to his former life-support suit. But when he threw off the shackles of the dark side and saved his son's life, everything changed. With the help of very skilled rebel medics, Anakin was given another chance at life. His breathing component had been placed into his chest, so that it wasn't visible. Also his limbs had all been replaced with ones that looked more real then anything. That was with the exception of one. The arm he lost to Count Dooku was still the same. It served a reminder of his past and what he needed to atone for. And he had much to atone for.
Anakin helped the New Republic grow in size and strength, while at the same time he grew closer to both of his children. Luke had warmed up to him faster then Leia had. Yet slowly Leia came to accept it that the former Dark Lord of the Sith and the man that was now helping the republic were one in the same. That was when Anakin Skywalker was truly free of the Sith.
Leia and Han Solo were eventually married and had a set of twins, Jacen and Jaina along with another boy, named for his grandfather. Then Luke followed suit when he fell in love with a former Sith, who had reverted to the light side named Mara Jade. And they too had twins named Ben and Natalie.
Ever since Ben and Natalie were born, Anakin had been plagued by nightmares of a serpent coiling around one of his grandchildren and then devouring them – it varied from time to time about which grandchild it was. Sometimes he saw a face, other times he did not. The only thing that he could figure out was that the dark side was going to overtake one of his grandchildren.
He had wanted to send all his grandchildren to train under Albus Dumbledore, but he hesitated. When Jacen and Jaina tuned 11, the Sith was nowhere to be found in the galaxy. It was the same with little Anakin. Jacen and Jaina were both nearing 15, while little Anakin was almost 13 – so now they were all too old. Then Ben and Natalie had both just turned 11, which was the right age. Like with the others, he had been hesitant, then things changed. Both he and Luke had begun to have strong feelings of something large and dark looming on the horizon and it scared Mara. The only thing Anakin could think of to do was bring them to here - if "here" was in a completely different galaxy. Luke and Mara had been hesitant at first, but they gave in for their children's safety.
Anakin let his hands run over the old wood table that he was sitting at as he watched over his grandchildren sleep. He picked up a few pieces of parchment that lay in front of him. The first few pieces were the letters to the twins that welcomed them to Hogwarts. It also held their list of supplies that they were to buy and other instructions. Then the last piece was a letter from Dumbledore to Anakin, specifically spelling out what he needed to do to make sure that the twins were prepared for anything. Also he stated that they would have an escort from the Leaky Cauldron to the train station on the day that they were supposed to leave.
'Train? What in the Force is a train?' Anakin thought to himself.
AN: More to come soon!
