Chapter Seven: Arrival at Hogwarts

Once aboard the Integrity, Anakin took his place upon the command bridge with Commander Trynn while Talia and the rest made themselves comfortable within their quarters. Talia turned to Master Yoda, "is there anything I can get you, Master?"

"Fine I'll be, meditate I will."

"I'll leave you to it then, Master."

Talia left to check in with her Padawan, who was slowly going through the movements of lightsaber combat, watching the Wookiee switch through attack movements to defensive ones in the main hangar with the clone soldiers watching made Talia proud that her teachings were on the right path for the young Wookiee.

Gungi spun and locked eyes with his master, spinning the lightsaber in his hand and bring it up before him in a salute style.

"Well done Gungi, it would appear that the Makashi form agrees with you." Talia said

Gungi roared and nodded while placing his lightsaber upon his belt, and joined is master as they left the hangar to join Anakin upon the bridge.

As Talia and Gungi entered the bridge of the Integrity, they came upon a scene of Anakin and Obi-Wan talking which quickly stopped once Obi-wan saw Talia.

"Don't stop on my account." Talia said

"It's nothing to worry about." Anakin answered.

Talia looked at the Chosen One, as if to say 'yeah right' than looked to Obi-Wan. "Just tell me the truth Anakin, you know that I'll find out anyway."

"The Council want us to get remarried, under an old Jedi Code."

"What Code are we talking about?"

"The Code of the Je'daii, the first Order of Force-Users." a voice behind Talia said.

Everyone whipped around to look upon the owner of the voice, only to look upon the force ghost of the infamous Revan. Returning his hilt to his belt, Anakin relaxed believing they were not in any danger, Obi-Wan held on to his just in case.

"Master Kenobi, one would think you don't trust me." Revan said.

"Well if my memory serves me correctly, you did fall to the Dark Side of the Force and wage war on the republic that you served to protect."

"Ah yes, that. I am sorry about that, you see Malak and I had just lost our fight against the Sith Emperor and were turned by him and weaken the republic for his conquest of the galaxy."

"But you managed to defeat him in the end." Talia said.

"True, but it was your ancestor that finally defeated him and his plans of a galaxy wide death. Anyway the code," Revan said stepping back. "There is no ignorance, there is Knowledge…"

Revan as soon joined by Qui-Gon Jinn, "There is no fear, there is Power…"

Satele Shan appeared, "I am the heart of the Force…"

Mace Windu stood next to Qui-Gon, "I am the revealing fire of Light…"

Bastila Shan stood next to Satele, placing a hand upon the younger one's shoulder, "I am the mystery of Darkness…"

Hadrimdell stood behind Revan, "In Balance with Chaos and Harmony…"

Lana joined the group and as one, "Immortal in the Force."

Hadrimdell stepped forward and placed his hands upon the shoulders of both Anakin and Talia, "Now you are husband and wife in the eyes of the Force, from this day on no-one can pull you apart, May the Force be with You."

As suddenly as they appeared, each master faded back into the Force, leaving everyone upon the bridge of the Integrity shaken but feeling a warmth.

"I'll be in my quarters, call me when we arrive." Kenobi said.

"Gungi, you can have as much free time to yourself until we arrive at Earth."

The Wookiee roared happily before exiting the bridge, Anakin turned to his Padawan.

"Kat…"

"I'll stay on the bridge and help Commander Trynn, Master."

"Okay."

Anakin picked up Talia and made his way to their quarters.

As they entered their quarters, Anakin let Talia down gently so that her feet brushed the floor. Her eyes were glittering a darkened emerald green, as Anakin took in all of his wife's appearance.

"I'll be right back." Anakin said

"Don't be too long."

As Talia moved to the bed, she started to remove her clothes, first was the heavy robe, next to fall was her utility belt closely followed by the Obi, closely followed by her tunic. Next to be discarded was her form fitting under-tunic, Talia turned and sat upon the bed. Removing her brown leather boots, followed by the leggings she wore. On all fours Talia moved up the bed in just a piece of cloth wrapped around her chest and a piece covering her already wet sex, she lay on their bed waiting for him to come out of the 'fresher'. Talia found him desirable enough to have him as he was, but making her wait prolonged the anticipation and Anakin wanted to be at his best for her.

At last, he walked out of the fresher, bare chested and wearing just a towel low around his hips. He lowered himself onto the bed next her, "Miss me?"

"All the time," Talia answered as she started to rub his back touching all the scars he had collected from the Clone Wars, he gave off a sound that resembled a large feline purring.

"I love it when you do that," he whispered. Talia rubbed around his shoulders, making sure to work the tension out of them. Leaning close to kiss his cheek, then his earlobe. Her tender kisses became playful nips. Soft chuckles escaped Anakin's mouth as Talia nipped softly along his jawline.

"Feeling a little naughty, are we?"

Anakin looked into those green eyes, "Care to find out." she answered before turning him onto his back, climbing over him and straddling his hips. Only the two pieces of cloth separated them, Anakin fingered the hem of her form-fitting underwear only for Talia to push his hands back down to his side.

"Not yet," she said, Talia leaned in and kissed him, her hair falling loose and acting as a curtain. Her hands exploring his warm, scar covered chest, soon they found the fold of the towel around his waist and peeled slowly back.

Anakin growled and Talia knew that he wanted more than anything to take her right there and unleash his love and passion for her, but she was in control and he loved it when she took control. Talia began pleasuring him, making him lean back against the headboard, grasping and moaning her name. It was in these moments he knew that he was completely under her spell and at her mercy.

Talia paused for a moment to removed her underwear, then kissed her way up his body to his lips. "Sit up," She commanded.

Anakin gave her an amused look, "As you wish, my master."

Talia positioned herself on his lap then inserted his length into her waiting sex. This time Anakin followed her movements and rhythms. They held each other tightly, with Talia's arms and legs wrapped around him and Anakin holding her hips.

With the heat building at her core, Talia gently guided Anakin down onto his back. His thighs bracing behind her, she quickened her rocking. Talia guided Anakin's hands to her breasts, where he cupped them gently, his fingers brushing over her nipples. Green eyes gazed into blue, as Talia felt the familiar fire inside of her grow hot and explode throughout her body. Soon Anakin followed crying out her name, with an explosion of force energy rocking the room. Talia slid off to the side, resting her head on his chest and her right leg between his. He gently traced his robotic fingers over her back.

"I never minded followed your lead, my love." Anakin said in a husky voice.

"Good, because that was just round one."

Anakin woke to sound of the intercom buzzing, opening his eyes to seeing Talia sound asleep. Her head still upon his chest, an arm and leg hanging over him.

"Skywalker, go ahead."

"General sir, we are about ten minutes out from exiting hyperspace."

"Copy that, Commander we'll be there shortly." Anakin said.

Turning his eyes to his sleeping wife's form, Anakin brushed a few strands of loose red hair from her stunning face. Unable to move unless he woke her Anakin was trapped, gently running his robotic fingers across her back in an attempt to slowly wake her from sleep.

"Keep doing that and I'll be sleep once more." her angel like voice came.

Anakin looked down and into green eyes, "Sleep well?"

"Its a pity we cant continue, but duty calls." Talia said.

Talia rose from the bed, her naked form a pleasure to her husband's eyes. Knowing she held the blue eyes of the man she loves, Talia dressed slowly teasing him with every piece of clothing.

"Rise Skywalker, your crew need their general."

"I'm up, I'm up." Anakin said.

Anakin quickly dressed in his tunic, pants, boots and robe. Picking up his lightsaber and clipping it to his belt, he joined his wife at the door of their quarters.

"Ready when you are."

The Skywalkers entered the bridge hand in hand, everyone of the task force was waiting for them. Katooni's eyes were locked upon the intertwined fingers, and a light shade of blush showed on her face.

"Its about time you two, we are about to drop from hyperspace." Kenobi said.

"Apologies, Master." Anakin said.

"General Skywalker, we are exiting hyperspace in 3… 2… 1."

The battle group dropped from hyperspace at the edge of the Sol System as they were told to by Talia's ancestors. Forming up on the Integrity the group made its way into the system passing the ice giant Neptune, its six rings faintly visible as the ships continued their journey. Next the battle group past by the white ice giant of Uranus on one side and one its moons on the other. They flew pass the massive ringed gas giant known as Saturn before reaching the largest planet in Sol's system, the behemoth known as Jupiter. The ship passed through the asteroid belt, they passed a red Terrestrial planet which was noted as Mars. Soon the group came within reach of their destination.

"Commander Trynn place the battle group in orbit round Earth's moon, we take the LAATs from there." Anakin said.

"Yes Sir, General."

"Well, time to say hello. This ship is yours Commander."

"Yes sir."

Anakin and Talia led the task force to the hangar where Appo and Rex along with Shadow Company were waiting for them.

"General Skywalker, LAAT Squadron Bravo are awaiting your command." Appo said.

"Thanks Appo, alright people let's load up and move out."

Once everyone was aboard, the doors closed and the transports lifted off the hangar deck. The gunships flew in a tight formation to hide their numbers.

As the squadron drew closer to the Blue-Green planet known as Earth, the pilots angled the transports to avoid being detected by any and all satellites. Soon the squadron were passing through the upper atmosphere.

"Alright, where did Masters Hadrimdell and Lana say to land?" Anakin asked.

"An island state known as the United Kingdom, but we are to land at these coordinates." Talia replied.

"Pilot land the squadron at 56 degrees 40'54.6" North by 4 degrees 31'52.5" West." Anakin said.

"Yes Sir."

The squadron turned as one in order to land at the given coordinates.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brain Dumbledore sat behind his desk in the Head of Transfiguration Department's office of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, he was reading the Daily Prophet while sucking on a lemon drop when the castle wards alerted him to a disturbance. Standing the Professor of Transfiguration quickly exited the office and made his way down the main entrance where he was meant by Headmaster Armando Dippet, Professors Horace Slughorn, Herbert Beery, Silvanus Kettleburn as well as the rest of the Hogwarts staff.

"Headmaster Dippet, what is going on?" Dumbledore asked.

"That my dear Albus is what we must investigate." Dippet answered.

As the staff of Hogwarts exited through the main doors they were greeted by Gamekeeper Ogg and his Assistant the half-giant Rubeus Hagrid.

"Headmaster Dippet, it appears that the grounds of Hogwarts have been invaded." Ogg said.

"Invaded?"

Ogg pointed over to the open grounds near the Quidditch pitch, leading the way Dippet moved at a surprising pace for a man of his years. As the group reached a crest to look down upon the pitch, they saw what they knew what the non-magical folk of the world called planes land, and begin allowing their cargo to exit.

"Professor Slughorn, if you would send word to the ministry that we have guests and would welcome their immediate assistance."

"Yes… yes Headmaster, at once." Slughorn replied.

"Will we go meet our guests, Headmaster." Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, we will hold their attention until the Minister and Crouch bring reinforcements if needed."

With the Headmaster in front and Dumbledore close behind, the Hogwarts staff made their way to where the newcomers had landed.
