With the family and Harry standing there, Hagrid continued to cradle Jenna's limp body. His tears still were flowing when he suddenly pulled back to stare at her. He licked a hand and held it in front of her nose and mouth and suddenly said in wonder "She is still alive..." Harry shouted "what" and the entire family cheered.
Dumbledore had come up at that point, Peter behind him, bound and unconscience. "We need to get her to Madam Pomfrey then. If anyone can help her, Poppy can." The family nodded and as one group, they all moved towards the Falcon. As Leia and Hagrid sat in a seating area, a bronze colored droid came in and let out a distressed cry at the sight of Jenna "Oh Princess Jenna, what have they done to you?" Leia spoke to the droid "3PO calm down, she will be fine. Go and see if Anakin needs help." 3PO nodded and went off muttering about how he knew coming here was a bad idea.
Hagrid looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and his mind raced. The droid had called her princess. He looked to her mother and then to her brother as he entered the room. "Anakin is helping Dumbledore contain the prisoner. Anakin is going to stay here until we know what to do with him. How is she?" Jaceam sat on the other side of Hagrid and looked at his sister. He felt her pain, as she was his twin, but he hid his own discomfort well.
Within minutes the Falcon landed outside Hogwarts and as they all went down the plank and towards the castle, they were met by Ron and Hermione, who raced to Harry. "Oh Harry, thank goodness you are ok. I was so afraid...." her voice broke off as the saw Jenna, being carried by Hagrid. "Oh, no. Professor Skywalker."
The three students walked a bit slower as Jenna was raced to Madam Pomfrey. Harry told them all that had happened and they were all anxious when they arrived to see Poppy finishing up her exam. She left Jenna's side and returned with a large bottle, she opened it and poured some blue smokey liquid down Jenna's throat. Setting it aside she picked up Jenna's wrist and started taking her pulse again. She began to nod. "Good, her vitals are coming back up. She is stable and all we have to do is wait for her to wake up."
Dumbledore looked to Luke and Jaceam who were talking quietly and then towards Jenna. "I wonder how she survived it at all. Only one other person has, and it was deflected off of him, but she absorbed hers." Luke looked up with a nod "The force took most of it when it hit her. The curse was very powerful though, that it knocked her out, almost killed her before the Force took over and absorbed the rest. The Force was weakened in her and still is, but it is growing in strength again. I think we should just wait. It might be awhile though."
They all nodded and Luke went to his sister and gave her a hug, knowing that she was very distraught over this happening to her daughter. "Never underestimate the power of the Force, Leia."
Three days had passed since Madam Pomfrey had gotten Jenna's vital signs stable. Rarely had Hagrid left her side. Leia and Jaceam also kept a close watch on her. Hagrid had been afraid her family would be angry with him. She had risked her life to save him, but amazingly they all understood and Leia told him constantly that she felt his continued presence was good for Jenna. She did encourage him to sleep and eat though, which he did reluctantly.
Hagrid sat alone at her bedside on the evening of the third day. Harry, Ron and Hermione had just left from a short visit. His mind raced over what the droid had said, the comment still upsetting him. He did not wish to question Leia on it. She was stressed enough, but he knew in his heart that the title that he had heard was accurate.
His eyes closed. He had been a fool to think that a woman like her could love someone like him. Even before he found out she was a princess, he had laid awake at night wondering why she chose him. Men like him did not get women like her, it just was the way it was. His eyes traveled over the woman he loved, the pain he felt echoed there. He needed to get away. After she woke, he would ask Professor Dumbledore for some time off.
He heard a soft moan through his shroud of misery and looked up as Jenna let out another moan, her head moving towards him, her eyes fluttering. He reached for his hand and wondered how his heart could rejoice and break at the same time.
Jenna stare up at the man she loves and relief shoots through her, along with pain that comes with each breathe. She had saved him. Her mouth forms a soft smile and he leans close, his eyes tortured and pained, but filled with love. "I am glad you are ok" she barely manages to whisper. He gives her a soft smile, tears starting to fall. "I glad you are alive. Don't ever try to save me again. I couldn't stand it if you died for me. I am not worth that."
Jenna shook her head against the pillow, wincing softly from the pain that shot through her. "You are worth everything to me, Hagrid." Hagrid shakes his head sadly "something not meant to be." He stands and moves as her mother enters the room and rushes to the bedside. Hagrid pats Leia on the shoulder and leaves, on his way to Dumbledore's office.
Leia smiles to her daughter and looks at Hagrid's retreating back. Looking back at her daughter she smiles as she sees Jenna is observing Hagrid leave. "He is a wonderful man, darling. He has been here this whole time. Would not leave your side for anything. He truely loves you." Jenna sighs and closes her eyes for a moment.
Opening them, she looks at her mother "But he and I can't be. I am a Jedi. I took an oath." Leia smiles "Sometimes oaths can be broken. Your uncle thinks it would be wise for someone to remain on this planet and watch for the presence of the Sith. If they have come once, they will likely come again. He thinks you would be perfect for the position." Jenna smiles softly at her mother and then closes her eyes, exhausted. "I will accept the position."
Leia smiles and watches her daughter fall asleep, thinking Hagrid will be so pleased at these turn of events. If she had looked out the window, she would have seen him hurrying towards his cabin and minutes later watch him leave with a small suitcase, heading towards Hogsmeade, the wizarding town.
