A.N- Happy Birthday to me I'm 21. Here is a present for y'all.
Chapter Eleven
An older women with silver-gold hair in green robes carried in sleepy Teddy and three skinny creatures that looked similar to Master Yoda, not that Anakin would ever tell him that. Each creature was dressed elegantly with a crest on their heart, they carried a silver tray of food with them. The women sat Teddy down next to Ahsoka, and the little boy's skin, hair, and eyes morphed to match Ahsoka's. Ahsoka's eyes widen at the boys talent. Anakin noticed that the woman had one emerald green eye and aquamarine blue eye.
"How did you do that?" she asked.
"I'm a Meta-morph-ma-gus," Teddy explained sounding the large word out.
The women laughed at the expression of confusion on Anakin and Ahsoka's faces, "Teddy can change his physical appearance, a gift he inherited from his mother." The women explained.
"That's neat gift," Ahsoka admitted.
Teddy gave her a toothy grin and Ahsoka smiled back.
"And who are you," Anakin asked.
"Narcissa Black, Draco's mother and Teddy's great aunt." Narcissa voiced as she helped the house elves with breakfast. On a small round table three plates of eggs, bacon, baked beans, sautéed mushrooms, and sausage; with two glasses of orange juice for the children and a cup of tea for the Anakin.
"So you are related to my wife too" Anakin asked remembering that Padme called Draco her cousin last night.
"Yes and no, Hermione is head of the Black family along with you. Usually the male heir would take over, and since my cousin Sirius had no children and neither did his brother. The leadership would have fallen to either my Draco or to Teddy."
"So how did my wife and I become head of your house?"
"Sirius had a fatherly fondness for Hermione, and made her his heir. I think he also felt a connection to her because of Harry. And the fact she help him escape from a nasty fate" Narcissa finished setting the table. "Come eat,"
They came over and sat at the table. Teddy started eating. Anakin and Ahsoka followed his example. The food was good and was nothing like they have ever ate before, as she ate Ahsoka was curious about Sirius' fate.
"What was his fate?" Ahsoka asked.
"A fate worse than death dear," Narcisse explained, "Hermione helped him because he was innocent of the charges of 12 counts of murder and being a traitor. He was never given a proper trial as Hermione pointed out many times to the government. I remember her a child, always making noise over something she believed wrong. She fought for equal rights for all magically creatures, the banning of slave activity, and for Sirius."
"There are slaves here," Anakin asked.
"Not anymore, the house elves that helped me bring in the food were once slaves until a few years ago. Partly because of Hermione's influence and for the Government to have a fresh start after short but brutal war."
"How bad was the war," Ahsoka asked.
"Short and bloody and all for one man's lust for power, he had many names. To his Death Eaters he was Lord Voldemort, to those who feared him he was You-Know-Who, and to Hermione he was Tom Riddle. Hermione was the only person in the world that would call him by his true name. He waged two brutal wars for his power, the first time he was defeated by a mere baby and the second to a mere girl. Everyone lost someone in both wars, in the first war I lost my parents to death, a sister to prison, and my other sister to prejudice. I did gain my son, year before the first war ended. In the second was I lost sister, a brother-in-law, my niece and her husband, and nearly lost my son because of my foolish husband."
"Where is your husband now?" Ahsoka asked.
"During the Final Battle, Draco turned on his father, his father disarmed and was about to kill his own son. I intervened and killed my husband myself. I stood by Lucius all through our marriage; with the beatings of servants, the threats of death if I did not give him a son, his obsession with dark power, and the corruption he used in the government. I would not stand by and let him kill my son. So I killed him to protect Draco. A mother will always protect her child"
"What was my wife role in you war?" Anakin asked.
"During the first time Voldemort ignited the war, a prophecy was made about Voldemort's fall,"
"So my wife was that child,"
"No, she was not." Narcissa stated "Two boys were candidates for the role of Voldemort's fall, Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. He choose Harry because of how similar both of them were half-bloods. The Potter family went into hiding, they were betrayed. Not by my cousin Sirius, but by Pettigrew. In a fit of anger Sirius went after Pettigrew and it back fired on him. It was Pettigrew that betrayed the Potters and killed those twelve innocents."
"What happen to the Potters?" Ahsoka asked.
Narcisse face turned grim, "James and Lilly died protecting their son, Voldemort was destroyed by young Harry Potter. No one really knows how the year old baby destroyed a powerful wizard. The young Potter was given to his mother muggle relations and was not seen until his first and final year of school."
"He was killed," Anakin said thinking of the pervious conversation with Padme.
"That was the official story, no really knows what happen to Harry Potter."
"So who defeated Voldemort," Ahsoka asked.
Narcissa smiled, "Your mother did, and she fought and won. She defeated one of the most powerful wizard in history. She may not have been the Chosen One, but she stepped up when most adults would not."
Both Anakin and Ahsoka felt pride bloom in their hearts for Padme.
"Hello Headmistress," Narcissa called looking over them.
Three heads to see a small feline thing trotting towards them, out of nowhere the feline turned into a human female, she was tall with salt and pepper hair pulled into a tight bun on the top her head. She gave a stern smile to the visitors.
"Hello Narcissa, Anakin, children." The stern woman said, "I'm Headmistress McGonagal."
"You know me," Anakin asked.
Sharp green eyes turned on him. "Yes we have met twice before. Once when you were ten and again when you were 15 I believe. You wouldn't remember the first time, you had a sleeping spell on you."
"Why," he asked.
"Because you were kidnapped by the old government. Padme was 14 when she was illegally entered into a tournament that most adults die in. There was three tasks to complete, for the second tasked the hosting government took something precious to the competitor's. You were taken because of how precious he is to her."
Anakin didn't know what to think, he was surprised at the confession. "You said I was here when I was 15, why?"
The headmistress smiled. "It was the same year, there was a ball that year. Hermione refused all of her suitors, it was her way of protesting her involvement in the tournament. So I decided to travel a bit in time, when you were 15. You would have remember it as a dream. A dream that seemed so real."
Anakin thought and remembered a dream from long ago.
He was no longer in the temple, but in a grand archway facing a staircase. He caught himself in a mirror, he wore robes that seemed too good for him. Then a breathing taking sight came upon him. It was Padme, she look the same as the last time he saw her. Only she wore a short white dress with thin straps, the skirt of the dress was came to her knees and was very flowy with silver pearl jeweled slippers. The only jewels she wore were a square pearl headband in her hair, silver pearl earrings, and pearl ring. She did looked like an angel and she was a surprised to see him. The only make-up she had on was silver glitter she had rubbed on her arms, shoulders, chest, neck, and face.
"Ani is that you,"
He had no words for her, he could only nodded. At nine years old, she was tall, now she was the same height. Padme pulled him into a hug, he realized that she fit perfectly in his arms. Then they danced the night away.
"I kind of remember, she was so beautiful that night."
"Aye that she was," the headmistress agreed.
Ahsoka was still awed that the headmistresses transformation. "How did do that transformation," Ahsoka asked.
"Well my dear, I am an animagus, it is how I transform. It takes hard work and patience to become one. "
"Is my mom one," Ahsoka asked referring to Padme for the first time as her mother.
"Yes she is a Lioness, it's quite fitting that is her form, since she is called the Lioness of Gryffindor."
"What's a lion," Ahsoka asked.
The headmistress conjured a picture of one and handed it to the girl. Ahsoka studied the feline creature. The feline was a tawny colored fur with a sleek body of muscle, a powerful jaw, rounded ears and golden eyes.
"Wow, I will I be able to do turn,"
"Maybe one day with practice,"
Ahsoka smiled. Teddy locked eyes with McGonagall. "Headmistress can we explore the castle please."
"Of course Mr. Lupin, and when you find you God-mother I would like a word with her."
Teddy jumped up and was quickly followed by his sister and father. As they explored, Anakin and Ahsoka were confounded by magic. The picture moved as if they were alive, then the ghost's shocked them. They got to meet nearly headless Nick and he found out why he was called that. Teddy led them to the Great Hall, right before the Hall was a wall with names engraved in. "That the Hero's Wall, all the names on that wall are from the wars with Voldemort."
The young boy walked up to the wall and touched two names. Anakin read them as Remus and Nymphadora Lupin, his birth parents.
"My Nana told me that they died in each other's arms. I guess that meant they loved each other."
"Yes Teddy," Anakin said.
Angry tears started falling. "I wish I could kill them, the ones that murder my parents and my nana. I would wipe them and families out,"
Anakin pulled the boy up into his arms and held him as he cried. "Teddy killing them would not bring you peace, only you more pain. One day I will explain why I know this,"
Anakin pulled in Ahsoka too, so she wouldn't be left out. He held both children as if someone would take them away. He put Teddy down and they went outside of the castle. Teddy led them to a black lake, then he started skipping rocks across the lake and started showing Ahsoka. Anakin watched the two kids skip rocks and a found a peace watching them. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a man with straight black hair going to a tree that made a canopy over the lake, out of curiosity Anakin followed.
The black haired man sat down next to Padme, she had a far out look on her face. Her knees pulled up to her chest, with her chin on resting on the top of her knees.
"Am I that predictable," she asked.
The black haired man laughed, "I would say yes, but Draco told me you were sulking. Since you can't go to the library when you sulk since it's a fire hazard, I figured you go here,"
Padme rolled her eyes. "Nev, how come you never came to look for me. You knew about my other life."
Nev sighed. "I did it to protect you. I told that I knew that Ron had something to do with you being gone, for the last eight years he had me followed. Waiting for me to find you, I couldn't let that happen. You're my best friend and my sister, I had to protect you and Anakin. I knew that if Ron ever found out that you had a soul-mate, Ron would have killed him."
"Thank you Neville," Padme expressed, "We don't have to protect Ani anymore."
Padme eyes tuned to sadness, Anakin felt her projecting her guilt and depression out to him. Neville studied her. "Mia what's wrong?"
"My over protective nature got me into trouble with my husband. I never told him about me being a witch. I never told him because I thought he would never believe me. We had fight last night because of my actions,"
"Padme I know it's hard not to be over protective of Anakin, you were so worried about him when he was a child. I remember all the things you did to protect him, but he is now a man now. You can both protect each other now, be partners in everything. Have you bonded yet or do I need to remind you of the dangers of being unbounded."
"Believe me I know what would happen to Anakin if I had not bonded us together, I saw it. The bonding happened before we had the fight."
Neville and Anakin were confused, "What do you mean saw it, if I remember correctly you don't put your faith into prediction of the future."
"I kind of traveled to another dimension and saw a possible future."
"What happened?" Neville asked.
"I was dead and Anakin fell into darkness because of my death."
"I'm sorry you had to see that,"
"Me too,"
Anakin reeled at the fact he turned to the dark side, he couldn't imagine ever doing that. He tasted the dark side once, never again did he want to feel that.
"Neville why are you here,"
"I'm here to inform you that your presence is required at Ron's trail tomorrow,"
"Damnit,"
"I'm sorry,"
"It's okay, it will be worth it to see him go down. And we need to go shopping for Ahsoka's school supplies anyway."
"Are you going to let her go to Hogwarts?"
Padme bit her lip, "We need to discuss it as a family,"
Neville knew Padme too well, "You don't want her to go,"
"No, I rather her stay with me, Anakin, and Teddy."
"I know it easier to protect her when she right next to you. Padme you can't always be there to protect her."
"I know that is what scares me the most."
"It scares every parent, I know it will scare me when Luna and I become parents."
"Is Luna pregnant?"
Neville smiled sadly, "No, we have been trying though. Luna says it will happen when the time is right and for me to stop worrying."
"How is Luna?"
"Luna is Luna, she is her quirky self as usual."
"What about her eyes," Padme asked.
Neville sighed sadly "She is permanently blind, but that doesn't stop her."
"Good I'm glad that the Death Eaters didn't break her sprite. Tell her I would love to see her soon,"
"I'll make sure that she comes with me tomorrow, maybe she can help with the children. I must be off,"
"Bye Neville," she said sadly.
"Don't worry so much Mia everything will work out. And get some damn sleep, I haven't since that damn tired since the war. Oh here is your bag, it has all you stuff in it," he said handing her a purple beaded bag.
Padme nodded and he left. She leaned back against the tree, closed her eyes and clutched the bag to her chest. Anakin waited a moment to see that her breathing evened out. Anakin went and picked up Padme, she shouldn't sleep outside. He walked out of the canopy, Ahsoka and Teddy saw them. "Teddy let's find a place for her to rest."
They followed Teddy and found the Headmistress, she lead them to a painting of a of a Lion pacing in a desert. She said the password "Skywalker" and the painting opened to a rooms.
"These are the Gryffindor Royal Chambers, we haven't had a Princess and Prince of Gryffindor since the founder of the house. The chambers will adjust to how big your family is, there are three bedroom with their own bathrooms. There is a common room with a fire place and a dining room. Lady Narcissa gathered some necessities for your stay,"
The headmistress left, the family explored the chambers. The common room and dining room were decorated in red and gold. The first bedroom was huge, the room had a black and red color scheme. The walls were black with and red trimming and the carpet was dark red. The four poster bedframe was ebony wood and the blanket and pillows were red with black designs. Over the bed hung a tapestry of a three headed creature with wings on a black field with the words Fire and Blood beneath the creature. Teddy noticed this.
"That's the symbol for House Targaryen, the three head dragon with words Fire and Blood." Teddy explained.
"Why Fire and Blood." Anakin asked as he laid Padme down on the bed and put bag on the nightstand.
Teddy thought for a moment "Because the Targaryen's took what they wanted with Fire and Blood."
"Brutal." Ahsoka commented.
"You two go find your rooms while I get her settled." Anakin advised.
"Okay" they said.
The children scampered off and Anakin set to make his wife comfortable. He stripped off her boots, pants and shirt; leaving Padme in her panties and bra. Anakin pulled down the blanket and sheets so he could tuck them around her. He kissed her temple and left the room. He found his children in Ahsoka's room, it was a bit smaller than his. The color scheme of the room was Gold and Cream. The walls were cream with gold trimmings with a plush carpet, golden snowflakes decorated the walls. The bed was a white canopy bed golden blankets and pillows, on the bed was a doll that resembled Ahsoka. The doll wore a pretty blue dress with matching shoes. There was also an antique writing desk with matching chair and even a beautiful doll house that was furnished and had a family of dolls along with a chest of toys and doll clothes. Like in the master bedroom there was an emblem hanging over the bed, Ahsoka's was a type of white flower in bloom. Anakin looked at Teddy as if to ask him the emblem's meaning.
"Ahsoka you have the Winter Rose of York, that's Mia's family Emblem."
Ahsoka was still looking at her room with wonder, she had never had anything like this. No room to herself or toys. The Jedi thought it a waste of time and space. Ahsoka sat on the bed next to the doll and picked it up. She hugged to her chest trying not to cry happy tears.
"Snips are you okay," Anakin asked.
She nodded and snuggled up on the bed with the doll. Anakin and Teddy left the room to give her space. The room next to Ahsoka's was Teddy's, it had a gold and red color scheme. His bedframe was black with red and gold blankets. He had a desk with a bookshelf and small chest of toys. His emblem was a gold lion on a red field with the words Hear Me Roar on the bottom.
"That emblem is the one of House Lannister, my nana told me that our family was descended from Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion was also half Targaryen too, so in a way that makes us blood family too." Teddy explained.
"We're family no matter what." Anakin corrected.
"Wanna play chess," Teddy asked.
"Sure, that is the only game I know from here,"
Padme woke a few hours later in a comfy bed, she opened her eyes to the black and red room she was in. Stretching she looked down to she had been stripped down to her underwear, Anakin must have found her and did this. She got up from the bed and went to the wardrobe filled with men and women clothes. She trifled through them and found a silk black house coat for women, Padme slipped and tied it on. She went out the door and into the common/dining room, she found Anakin and Teddy playing wizard chess. Anakin's back was to her and Teddy was opposite of her. Both were laughing and enjoying the game, Ahsoka was nowhere to be seen. Teddy saw she was awake, "Mia," he called as he jumped up and tackled her in a hug.
"Teddy what have you been up too," she asked.
"Me and Anakin have been playing wizard chess," he reported.
"Yes and we are tied in winning," Anakin added as stood behind Teddy and playfully tousled his hair.
Husband and wife locked eyes, there was longing and hurt in both. They need to talk without anger and hurt.
"Teddy why don't you go and get cleaned up for supper, and tell Ahsoka to do the same." Padme said.
"Okay." He said and ran off to do his job.
Padme walked back into the master bedroom with Anakin following behind her. He shut the door and they stood staring at each other. Padme noticed that he was in the same dirty and blood stained robes. And she was not much better.
"Let's get cleaned up before we talk," she suggested.
Anakin nodded and followed her into the adjacent door that lead to a bathroom. There was a huge spa tube in the middle of the room with steam raising out the water. They were silent as the undressed. Anakin had his back turned when he took off the armor and the tunic of his robes. He heard a soft gasp and felt Padme's hand on where he was stabbed. She gently tuned him around and touched the part of his chest the lightsaber had pierced.
"There's no scar," she commented before letting him get fully undressed. He slid in the tube and felt the tightness of his muscles relax. Padme let the black silk robe slip off her, then she took off the rest. She slipped in on the opposite side of the square tube, she brought her knees to her chest and stared blankly. Anakin decided to take pity on her and he grasped her upper arms pulled her to him. Padme's head tucked under his chin and her arms wrapped around him, he ran his hands up and down her back.
"I may be upset with you Padme, I want you to know that I love you," he whispered in her hair.
Her arms tightened around him, "I'm sorry Ani I just wanted to protect you."
"I know baby, I heard you conversation early,"
"All of it,"
"Yeah,"
"So you heard about the other timeline,"
"I fall into darkness after you die, yes I heard,"
Padme moved her head to look up into his pain filled, she lifted her head and pressed her lips to his. The kiss was slow and lazy, two lovers just wanting to prolong the kiss. "You won't make the same mistakes that Anakin did,"
"How do you know that," he questioned with uncertainty.
"Ani we're soul mates, our souls are intertwined together with the purest of love. When we kissed back at the Jedi Temple our souls bounded together for the rest of our lives." Padme said through their bond.
"How is this possible," Anakin asked.
"I knew you were mine the moment you touched my hand you were meant for me. When I turned away from you on Naboo the first time you kissed me was not out of fear for you place in the Jedi, but we didn't bind our souls together." Padme said.
Padme sat up in his lap and cup Anakin's face, amber fire meet blue fire. Padme opened her heart, mind and soul. Anakin saw everything, her life.
Rosalind and William Granger, her birth parents. Ever loving moment she spent with them and the pain of their death. All the adventures, from the stone to her conversation with Luke and Vader. Anakin felt his chest tighten at the sight of their son. He could tell that his son was on his way to becoming a great Jedi. Thank the Force Luke inherited his mother calm deposition. He looked at Vader and saw a broken man that lost everything. Anakin hugged his wife tightly to his chest, he had seen all that she had done for him.
"I'm sorry," they said at the same time and laughed. Padme and Anakin got out the tube and wrap towels around each other.
Anakin followed his wife to the wardrobe, for her Padme pulled out a white silk bra and panty set and black boxers for Anakin. Then Padme pulled out a black yoga pants with a cream colored long sleeved t-shirt that had the York crest on the front. For Anakin she pulled black sleep pants and a black long sleeved t-shirt that had the Targaryen crest on the front. As they finished getting dressed, Teddy busted throw the door with a worried look on his face shouting that Ahsoka was missing. Teddy looked everywhere for his new sister, she wasn't in her room or anywhere in the chamber.
"Calm down Teddy, she couldn't have gotten far." Padme said calmly.
Padme went over to her boots that she had on early and pulled out her wand. Then she riffled through her purple beaded bag until she found The Marauder's Map.
"Come here Teddy, do you know what this is" Padme asked.
"A piece of parchment," he answered.
Padme smirked as she opened the map and pointed her wand at it. "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."
Teddy and Anakin watched in wonder as the blank parchment revealed itself as a map of the school. "Your father helped James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew make this map. This map has saved my life more time than I remember. One day I will give it to you, just as long as you promise me to use for good."
"I promise," Teddy said hugging his godmother.
"Can you find Ahsoka with the map," Anakin asked.
"Yes, it seems she is," Padme stopped when she saw Ahsoka's dot on the third floor corridor.
"Follow me," Padme said as she put on shoes along with Anakin.
Padme led them up through the changing stair case to a door she was hesitant to open. Padme opened the door slowly, inside was a small room. Padme led them through a trap door, which she conjured a rope ladder for them to climb down. Padme also conjured a torch for herself as Anakin's hands were full; Anakin didn't trust what was on the floor, so he carried Teddy from then on. There a type of dead plant surrounding the ceiling of the trap door room.
"Mia what is that," Teddy asked pointing at the dead plants.
"Devils snare," she answered.
The next room the entered, the ground was littered with keys. The next room held a life sized chess board with broken pieces. Padme came to one spot and stood there staring blankly at. Anakin realized this was the path Padme followed when she went after the stone. The spot she was staring was the last place she ever saw and talked to Harry Potter. Anakin walked up next to her and kissed her temple. "Come on angel, let's go find our little girl."
They walked down the stairs of the final room to see Ahsoka staring at a floor length mirror with black smear on the right hand corner. Padme walked up behind Ahsoka, and put a hand on her shoulder. Ahsoka jump a bit to see Padme, snowflakes started to fall around them. Ahsoka saw the snowflakes and waved her hand around to make them disappear.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Padme asked impressed.
"The grey lady showed me, she was the one that led me here." Ahsoka explained.
Padme knew who Ahsoka was talking about the ghost of Helena Ravenclaw, daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw.
"Do you know why she led you here," Padme asked.
"She came to my room and we started talking to about people we have lost and how much I wanted to know my birth parents. The Grey Lady said that I was like someone she used to know. And then she said I know way of giving you your heart's desire. That how I ended up here at this mirror. But all I see is you, Anakin, and Teddy in the mirror even when you were not there."
"Ahsoka the Grey Lady led you to the Mirror of Erised," Padme explained. "This mirror does show you your heart's desire. So your heart's desire is for us to be your family."
Ahsoka smiled and pulled Padme into a hug. As Padme held her daughter, she couldn't help but stare at the black smear on the mirror. Why was it so familiar?
"Angel maybe you should ask the headmistress about what happened that night as Lilly asked. The Headmistress wants to talk to you anyway," Anakin said in her head.
"Not right now, we did to talk to Ahsoka first." Padme said back
"Okay then let's get out of here."
Anakin handed over Teddy to Padme to carry so he could carry Ahsoka. They went back to their Chambers to talk. Anakin started first.
"Ahsoka," he started, "Do you want to go to this school? It's up to you if you want to go or not"
"What about the war and my training?"
"It would be safer for you to stay to here, and when you are not in school you could work on your training," Padme said.
"You said it was my choice right," Ahsoka asked.
"Yes, it is your choice." Padme stated, "Though I have a compromise. We stay a few more days here. This way you can ride the train to school and get sorted into one of the four houses. Then we go home, and I will see to your education along with a few others that I have in mind."
"What's going to happen when we go home," Ahsoka asked.
"One day a time Snips," Anakin said softly.
"I want do the compromise," Ahsoka stated.
"Alright," Padme said happily.
"I'm hungry," Teddy said.
Magically a house elf appeared, one that Padme recognized. Winky was dressed in a dark wool dress with a white apron that had the Hogwarts crest on it with little black shoes and cap. She was followed by a younger house elf with the same outfit on.
"Ello Mistress Grangy," Winky said.
"Hello Winky, it's nice to see you."
The house elf nodded and went on to do her job with the other house elf following behind her. On the dining table Winky waved her hands and food appeared on the table; four bowels beef stew, fresh baked bread, and four goblets of pumpkin juice.
"Winky who is this," Padme asked.
"This is Winky and Dobby's daughter Dolly," Winky announced proudly.
The younger elf hid behind her mother shyly, Padme smiled sadly. "Your father was a brave elf,"
Dolly whispered "Thank you".
The House elves disappeared and the small family sat down to eat.
"Tomorrow I have to attend a court trial," Padme stated taking a bite.
Anakin placed his hand on top of her in confront, he knew this would be hard on her.
"You won't be going alone,"
Padme nodded and squeezed his hand,
"Then what are we going to do tomorrow," Teddy asked.
"Why don't I asked Aunt Cissy to take you and Ahsoka around Diagon Ally," Padme suggested, "They can help Ahsoka get her school supplies except her wand. I want to be there."
"Whats a wand," Ahsoka asked.
Padme smiled, "A wand is a conduit for your magic, to focus the energy. And all wands are special, the wand chooses the witch or wizard."
Padme pulled out her wand to demonstrate a spell, she did a silent lumos. Ahsoka watched as Padme pulled out a simple stick and the stick suddenly lit up. "Each on is made up of a special wood and core. Mine is Vinewood and Phoenix feather."
Soon enough the children tired, Anakin and Padme tucked each of them in. When they closed the door to Teddy's room.
"I need to go speak to the headmistress."
"Let's go then,"
The headmistress was already waiting outside the painting for them. Padme invited her inside the chambers. Once they were seated, McGonagal on couch and the couple on the other couch.
"Hello Hermione,"
"Professor," she said tersely.
McGonagal fold her hands in front of her and waited for the question to be asked.
"What happened that night," Padme asked.
"Neville had alerted me to what you three had been up too and I gathered to other teachers. When we got down to the chamber, Harry was still alive and there was no trace of Voldemort or Quirrell in sight. Harry was holding you, begging for you to wake up. We had all three of you raced up to the hospital wing. Ronald had a bad concussion, Harry's hands were badly burned and you…" McGonagall had to stop for a moment to control her emotions.
"Were in a coma" Padme finished.
McGonagall shook her head sadly, "That is what Dumbledore told you to spare you of the truth."
"Then what is the truth," Padme spat.
"The truth Padme is Quirrell shot the killing curse at you, Harry grabbed his arm to redirect the spell. When Harry did that, the killing curse hit the mirror then you. That is what that black spot is on the mirror. Instead of killing you, the curse shattered you soul. You were in a state like the one of a Dementor's Kiss victim."
"Then how am I functioning," Padme asked.
"We were going to move you to the St. Mungo's after we were informed of your parent's deaths. The day of the move, you were missing and Harry never got on the train to go home. We found you both in the Library. You were alive and functioning normally, Harry was gone. All that was left of him were his clothes and glasses."
"What happened to him?" Padme asked thinking about the sad look Lilly had given her.
"Harry preformed the Anima Contrita Sacrifice,"
"What"
"When a soul shatters, if a person pure of heart is willing. They can repair the shattered soul with a sacrifice of their own soul. The person that completes the ritual will be reborn as the first born of the shattered soul. I don't know how he knew of that spell. " McGonagall explained.
Padme was speechless, Harry had sacrificed himself for her. The tears flowed down her face, Anakin pulled her into his arms and held her as she sobbed. McGonagall reached inside the pocket of her robes and pulled out Harry's glasses and keys to Padme's childhood home. She set them on the coffee table and took her leave.
"He will be reborn as Luke," Padme sniffed thoughtfully.
"How do you know that" Anakin asked.
"Luke is always our firstborn, then Leia."
"So we will be having twins," Anakin said.
"Yes, our hand will definitely be full,"
Anakin leaned down for a kiss and whispered "I wouldn't have it any other way,"
A.N. I know I was going to have Ron's trail in this chapter but I changed my mind. Oh I saw Star Wars the Force Awakens, it was awesome. And I didn't meet Geek Charming either lol. Read and Review.
