A/N- Everyone who reviewed gets a cookie! But Meg, if I may call you that, gets two cookies for guessing where the picture came from! It, indeed, did come from the third Harry Potter movie. Now, usually, I'm a stickler for the books, even though I love the movies too, but this picture stayed with me. I have a thing for dramatic images or moments that only last for a few seconds or for one scene--I call these "5 Second Dramatics"--and I loved all the drama and emotions that that picture invoked in my mind. So, thanks for all the reviews, and on with the next chapter!

Chapter 8- Of Death Eaters and Dark Lords

All the arrangements had been made. Neville, who was interested in becoming a partner in Lorelei's business, had been put in charge of the store. She had told him, half-jokingly, half-truthfully, that this was a chance to prove his capabilities to her. He had seemed more confident that Lorelei had ever seen Neville Longbottom, and this made her happy.

Lorelei had chosen Anakin to keep an eye on Harry. Harry had laughed when she had told him this, seeing the irony of an ex-Dark Lord protecting him from two current Dark Lords. Anakin had taken the job, but not before some convincing done by the combined forces of Lorelei, Leia, and Luke. Kitster had laughed, just as Harry had at the scene, and then had offered to keep an eye on Neville. Lorelei had suspected that he was out for more Honeydukes chocolate, having been told of his love for the item by Harry, but had gratefully accepted the offer.

As for Han's part, he had loaned Luke the Falcon. Lorelei, who knew of Han's love for the ship, was partly shocked that he would loan one of his pride and joys to help her. When she had inquired about this, he had simply said, "Hey, what are friends for?"

Now, Luke and Lorelei sat in the cockpit of the Falcon, with the link to the outside com system on. Looking out of the window, Lorelei could see her brother and her line of friends waiting to wish them farewell. Harry caught her eye and waved exuberantly up at her. She could feel the emotion well up in her throat. She had sworn that she wasn't going to cry. She waved back at him.

"Well, we're all set," Luke said, both to Lorelei and into the comlink.

"We'll try our best to find and stop Abdul while you're gone. You'll both be back before you know it," Leia said, speaking into her comlink.

"Take care, Lorelei," Harry said.

"You too, Harry. Behave for Anakin, will you?" she replied.

"Oh, he will…he will, "Anakin said, resting a hand on Harry's shoulder. The Boy-Who-Lived stared up uncertainly at him. Luke and Lorelei laughed.

"Bye, everyone!" they said as the farewell party stepped back.

The engines on the ship were fired up, and they were gone. After they had gone into hyperspace, Lorelei felt a tear escape down her cheek. Then, Luke's hand appeared on her shoulder.

"They'll all be fine," he said.

"I know. I know."

…………………

Bellatrix Lestrange, accompanied by her brother-in-law Lucius Malfoy, strode into the Throne Room and up to where Abdul and Voldemort stood. They both bowed down.

"What news?" Voldemort asked.

"They've departed. According to what the droids told me, they are heading for a planet known as Dagobah, Master," Bellatrix replied.

"Excellent," Voldemort exclaimed. Then, he turned to Lucius, glowering down upon him. "This is the second time I have had to get you out of Azkaban. Will you fail me again?"

"No, my Master. Forgive me. Allow me to prove myself," Lucius groveled.

"Very well. You will go to this Dagobah and retrieve Lorelei. Do not harm her. Stun her at the most. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my Master," Lucius said.

"Then go. And be quick."

With one final bow, Lucius left the room.
