Chapter 6: Visions and Secrets Revealed

Harry's Dream

"Crucio!" came the voice as the victim screamed in pain. They were already in searing pain as it felt like their body was on fire before it stopped once more and the cold eerie voice spoke.

"Where is Hermione Granger?" they asked as the figure shook their head

"I'll never tell you" they spat as the first smirked

"No matter. I know what to do to make her come" they smirked as Anakin's eyes widen in fear.

"She'll never fall for your tricks" he spat before he heard a laugh and then searing pain rushing through his body once again.

End of dream

Harry's eyes widened in fear before he pulled back from Padme, who stared in shock. "What's wrong?" she asked noticing his sudden change and she thought it was her, started to move away before he reached out for her hand.

"No, don't go" he pleaded with her as she stopped.

"What happened?" she asked as Harry tried desperately to shake the memory from his head.

"I don't know. It was like a nightmare and it was just strange" he told her as she wrapped her arms around him, in comfort.

"I am sure that everything will be alright. I promise nothing is going to happen to you" she assured him as he smiled slightly. It wasn't him he was concerned about. It was Hermione. This figure, which he had no doubt was Voldemort wanted her but he was torturing someone else.

It wasn't anyone he knew so who was he? He wondered as Padme slowly stroked his arm

"So about that kiss?" she asked as Harry smiled.

"Yeah, it was amazing. I am surprised that you haven't been kissed more. Your lips are so soft and sweet" he told her as Padme blushed.

"Thank you" she replied as he smirked, "Do you want to kiss again?" he asked as she giggled before he slid an arm around her slim waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck before their lips touched each other's once again.


Anakin awoke the next morning to find Hermione sleeping soundly on his chest. A light sheet wrapped up to her chest with her hair flowing down her back. She was a beautiful girl and he couldn't help but be drawn to her. She was someone who had could see opening his heart for love because it would be his first love as well as Hermione's first love.

He saw her move and he smirked. "Good morning beautiful" he smirked as she smiled up at him.

"Good morning handsome" she replied, leaning in, they shared a sweet morning kiss. "Last night was amazing. I have never had that much fun before" she informed him as he smiled.

"I do it all for you. I love you Hermione" he confessed as she felt so overwhelmed,

"Oh Anakin. I love you too and I mean it because there is something about you. I can't explain it" she explained as he smirked back.

"I feel the same way" he replied staring deeply into each other's eyes. A sharp knock ran through the room as Anakin and Hermione's eyes shot over to the door.

"Anakin! It's Obi Wan. I need to speak to you!" Obi Wan's voice called through the door as Hermione quickly grabbed her clothes as Anakin helped her

"Quick, hide in the fresher" he told her, with another kiss before she slid in and closed the door. Anakin grabbeda loose fitted shirt and his sleep pants before moving for the door.

"Yes. Master. What brings you here so early this morning?" he innocently asked however his old master wasn't smiling.

"The council has called an emergency meeting because of two strange new guests who arrived here last night" he explained before he went on. "So, you will need to be dressed and up at the chambers in 5 minutes" he warned him as Anakin nodded.

"Understood, master. You go ahead before me. I'll meet you up there" he assured him, sliding the door shut as Obi Wan stared at the now, closed door in disbelief. He sensed Anakin's sense alright but what was the unknown sense he also sensed. He slowly moved back from the door but not too far.

"Hermione" Anakin whispered as he quickly changed from his sleep pants into his normal Jedi clothing as the fresher door slid open and he found Hermione smiling at him, dressed in a simple light pale pink dress with her hair tied into a neatly braided plait down her back.

"What's going on?" she asked as Anakin replied. "I have to go to a council meeting. I shouldn't be too long" he assured her as Hermione moved towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I'll miss you" she sighed sadly as he smirked.

"I'll be thinking of you while I am away" he promised as she smirked.

"And I will be thinking of you" she smirked as Anakin moved for his Jedi utility belt and lightsaber before throwing his cloak on.

"Let's hope this meeting goes quickly" he told her, pulling her into his grasp, she felt his lips touched hers once again. This time, a long, lingering kiss leaving her smiling all over, "Don't take too long" she whispered before he cheekily smirked

"I'll try not to" he promised and with that, he was gone leaving her alone in the room.


Anakin arrived at the Jedi Council chambers to find the rest of the council seated and waiting for him to take his seat. He spied two new people but they were dressed far differently for anyone from this galaxy and Anakin felt his heart sink. Oh no, they weren't here about Hermione weren't they? To try and take her away from him?

He wondered but he quickly dismissed that thought and silently took his seat as Obi Wan watched him curiously. A lump formed in his throat: did Obi Wan know about his secret with Hermione?

He just remained quiet and turned to listen as Master Windu spoke, "So would you like to explain to us your situation and we'll try to help you in the best way we can" he spoke as Dumbledore stepped forward.

"Yes. I am Head master Albus Dumbledore of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I believe that this is all new to you but it is new to us too. We seem to have discovered a black hole from our world to yours and believe that it has already sent two of our students here" he started. "With me is one of our students Ron Weasley. His two best friends are the students sent here" he added as Ron stepped forward and Master Yoda spoke

"Tell us who your friends and how long has it been since they disappeared" he spoke as Ron suddenly felt nervous.

"Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Hermione went missing only two days ago and Harry went missing last night. No one has seen this in our world and Hermione went missing in the middle of the night" he spoke as Anakin felt his eyes widen.

She was here! Hermione! They were here for her! He tuned out from the conversation to think of Hermione. She couldn't leave. He loved her. This can't be happening as he heard Obi Wan's voice, "Anakin! Anakin!" he exclaimed before Master Windu called over to him,

"Skywalker! Pay attention. Unless you know something about what they are telling us?" he asked as Anakin suddenly snapped back into the conversation.

"No, nothing" seeing Obi Wan eyed him curiously as he tried to listen to the others talking. How could he admit to the council that he knew about Hermione all this time?


"Fools! You fools! How could you let them escape!" Voldemort sneered at his death eaters "Potter is gone and so is his friend and you don't know where they are?" he snapped. His red eyes glaring at his followers who tried not to directly look at him because of their failure as one stepped forward.

"My lord, it appears that they have disappeared from our world all together and Dumbledore has gone after them personally" one informed him as Voldemort smirked, stroking his faithful pet snake.

"So Dumbledore's gone after them. He may know where we can find them. See if you can sneak into Hogwarts and discover where they've gone to" he ordered them seeing them quickly obey and exit the room. Soon, it will be all over and Potter will be dead while he rules the magical world.


With the day off in the Senate, Padme spent her day trying to contact Anakin. He was the only one she trusted to know about Harry's sudden appearance but unfortunately she couldn't get in touch with him. His comlink couldn't be heard and went unanswered.

"He's not answering his comlink at the moment so we'll just wait here till he answers" she informed him as Harry asked

"Can't we go anywhere on this planet?" as Padme shook her head

"It's too risky and we don't know if anyone who is after you followed you" she replied as Harry raised a hand to his forehead to where his scar was. It was fine at the moment which meant that Voldemort wasn't near but he was starting to trust Padme so he hated to argue back with her and remains silent.

Padme speaks first "So, about this friend. She is here you say?" she asks him as Harry shrugs

"I don't know. I think so. If the same thing that happened to me, happened to her then she might be here" he replied. Secretly hoping she was as Padme assured him

"Don't worry. When Anakin contacts me, we'll find your friend" she promised. She only hoped this nagging thought she had that involved Anakin's recently suspicious behaviour didn't have anything to do Harry's friend.


Finally free of the council chambers, Anakin dashed down the hallway towards his quarters as Obi Wan exited with Masters Windu and Yoda, Dumbledore and Ron. "Something troubling Skywalker, there is" Yoda spoke as Obi Wan nodded,

"Do you think he knows about this situation?" he asked as Yoda nodded.

"More to this he does know. Watch him Obi Wan, you will" he instructed him as Obi Wan nodded.

"I understand" he promised them as Dumbledore spoke.

"Perhaps Ron should go with you. If Harry or Hermione is with him, maybe Ron will be able to tell you" he suggested as Obi Wan agreed,

"Good idea. We'll head out now" he informed him before he beckoned Ron to follow him down the hallway.


As soon as his slid the door open, Hermione spoke. "There you are!" she exclaimed, warmly embracing him. "Your comlink has been ringing nearly all morning. I didn't answer it but it could be important" she told him as Anakin listened.

"I'll check it out but first…." He stopped, pulling her in for a kiss "Missed you" he told her as Hermione blushed

"Not as much as I missed you" she teased, taking his hand. He led her over to the comlink. "It's Padme. Wonder what she wants" he muttered before he called.

"Skywalker here" he spoke as he heard Padme giggle

"Oh Ani, you don't have to act like that for me" she told him as he laughed

"What's wrong?" he asked as he heard her reply

"I can't say over the comlink. You need to come here. Its important" as Anakin became worried.

"I'm on my way" he promised hanging up. He moved for another cloak and handed it to Hermione. "Here, slip this on" he told her as Hermione began confused.

"What's this for?" she asked as he explained. "I want you to come with me. Not stay here alone and besides. Padme's my friend and she won't mind" he replied as she slipped the coat on and donned the hood over her face.

"Perfect" he smirked seeing her smile before he took her hand, "Come on, lets' get out of here before Obi Wan stops me" he told her exiting the room and into the hallway where Anakin quickly cast a glance up and down before pulling Hermione along after him.


Watching from a short distance away, a hooded cloak figure observed Anakin pulling a smaller figure cloaked after him. "So Skywalker. You have found a new friend" they spoke

"Another friend to watch die before your eyes then you fall and become an agent of the Dark side" they went on before he turned to another figure.

"Remember your objective. Only Skywalker's friend. Leave Skywalker for now. If we want him to fall to the dark side, we need his new friend" they informed him as the figure nodded

"As you wish" he told him before flying off.


Padme became startled with the door chimed sounded though she knew who it was already. "Do you want me to get it?" Harry asked as Padme held him back.

"No. 3Po will get it" she informed him and sure enough, they heard her droid speak.

"Oh Master Anakin! How good it is to see you" he exclaimed, "Mistress Padme is expecting you" he informed him leading him into the living room along with Hermione.

"Padme. Is something wrong?" he asked before his eyes flew over to Harry.

"Who's he?" he asked as Padme looked straight at him

"Who's your friend?" she asked as Anakin fumbled but remained strong.

"This is going to be hard to explain but this is my new friend" he told her, as she moved forward and pulled back her hood from her face. Harry gasped.

"Hermione! You are here!" he happily cried as Hermione smiled.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" she asked before they shared a friendly embrace.

"I don't know. One minute I am walking to the stadium then I am in her apartment" he explained as Hermione remembered how she got here.

"Just like me. I was in my room then I see a small button and when I press it. I am in the streets here" she explained.

"Anakin saved me" she added as he wrapped his arms around her. "Now I love him" she confessed as Harry was shocked.

"What!?" he exclaimed as Padme nudged him and he remembered.

"Oh well, I guess I am being secretive too. I kissed Padme" he confessed as Anakin gasped.

"Padme! That's a surprise" he smirked cheekily as Padme blushed.

"I couldn't help it. He was so charming" she admitted wrapping an arm around Harry. Anakin smiled but there was still a bigger issue at hand.

"That's great for us but what about their friends?" he noted as Harry and Hermione seemed confused. "What are you talking about?" they both asked as Anakin went on,

"Your headmaster and friend are here looking for you" as Hermione gasped,

"Oh no! What are we going to do?" she asked as another voice spoke.

"You don't have much of a choice" and all four turned around to find 3Po standing with Obi Wan and Ron both with shocks on their faces.

"Anakin. You lied this morning" he told him but Anakin was too stunned to say anything.

"You followed us, master!" he exclaimed, trying to control his anger as he went on. "How could you do that! its like you don't trust me!" he informed him but Obi Wan shot back.

"You sat there in the council chambers listening to their situation and you knew about Hermione and you didn't say anything" he told him as Padme stepped forward.

"Maybe he didn't want to say anything because she wasn't there to speak up" she explained but Obi Wan quickly fired back.

"Padme, it's not the point. He still knew and I bet that he lied about that night at the club. He sensed Hermione and he's been hiding her since" he informed her as Anakin just stood there. He wanted to fight back but something else was happening to him and the last thing he heard was Hermione, Obi Wan and Padme calling his name.

Anakin's dream

Anakin's eyes widen in fear as he saw Palpatine, though he wasn't the same Palpatine he knew. He was all crinkly and old and evil. He laughed as Hermione screamed in fear once more. Her hands tied above her head to the post behind her and she was dressed in a short skirt and bikini top.

"Please, no" she cried as Palpatine spoke.

"You know what you have to do. Just tell me where Anakin Skywalker is" he informed her as Hermione remained strong

"I'll never betray Anakin" she told him, struggling against her binds. Anakin wanted to scream out but it would do no use. It was a vision. Nothing more as Palpatine smirked.

"If you won't betray him, maybe your friend will" he teased her as Hermione gasped seeing Harry brought out.

"Now where is Anakin Skywalker?" he asked as Hermione cried out

"No please. Don't. I can't betray Anakin!" she protested as she looked at her friend who's eyes told her not to worry about him

"Oh well. I will have Skywalker and it will be still be for you" he told her, raising his hands, he pushed Harry towards Hermione, who fell at her feet before each of them felt a wave of lighting running through their bodies as they screamed out in pain.

End of dream

Next time- Will Anakin and Harry inform the council of what they have seen? Will Obi Wan inform the council of Anakin's lie? What have Palpatine and Voldemort planned? Do the visions tell the future? The council and Dumbledore make a decision that causes Anakin and Hermione to rebel severely.
