Harry Potter and the New Order

Chapter 3

2 Months later

Hermione woke to a steady beeping and immediately recognized where she was. She had only ever been badly injured enough to need a Bacta tank twice in her life so far, but it wasn't something you could forget. An oxygen mask strapped to face was hard to miss. That and the feeling of swimming in oil. Sure it looks like the tub was filled with water from the outside but once you're in you realize how heavy it feels against your body, how slick and well oily it felt against your skin.

It was both a joy and a horror to wake up and realize that she, in fact, was still alive. There was always an instinctual relief to realize you are still alive when you thought yourself dead. And an even stronger relief to her people with how strong their instincts still were in their people. But horror at as the memories of failure immediately rushed into her thoughts and refused to leave. She had failed to protect her mate. She didn't even flinch at the word in her own thoughts she was so lost in her grief. For years, she had fought against the stereotype of her people. Most people still saw Togruta's as beasts, intelligent beasts, but still beasts none the less. Her people were still tribal when aliens came to their planet and we were introduced to space travel. Tribal to space-faring in the span of a generation was a huge leap in the evolutionary chain and their tribal instincts still existed undiluted by technological progress.

Hermione had fought hard to break from the stereotype among the other padawan's, she learn everything and anything she could. She held her instincts her animalistic traits in a tight ball and proved each day to those around me that she could be civilized, that she wasn't an animal. But then she was hit with the strongest instinct her people could experience and that control had all gone out the window. She had laid eyes on the boy for a brief second before her instinct had slammed through her resistance she fought like the beast her people were seen as to try and protect her mate. And she had failed.

For the first time since the death of her tribe, Hermione cried. She ignored the pain her shuddering sobs caused her injured body, not even registering the pain as tears leaked from her eyes vanishing into the oil around her as if they never existed at all.

7 years later, Unknown Sith Base.

"Rise apprentice" Traxelli's cold voice commanded and the young man with black hair and green eyes who had been kneeling before her throne stood slowly but kept his eyes downcast lest she find a reason to torture him for a few hours as she loved to do. The worse sessions had always been after one of Harry's failed escape attempts throughout the years though after a particularly painful session that Darth Traxelli had decided to drag out for nearly a week, Harry had finally given up on escape, that was two years ago. Now it seemed that he was about to receive his first mission.

"From this day forth you shall be known as Darth Rayr, you have finally achieved a high enough level of skill to start field work. However remember you are still my apprentice." She threatened dangerously.

"Yes, my master." Harry practically whispered in response.

"Good" Traxelli purred her mood suddenly shifting as it always did. She let out a soft giggle before speaking again.

"Our Master has need of a certain object," Traxelli spoke of her master as if he was a lover though Harry was certain they were not.

"On the planet of Naboo, there is a stone, blood red in color that they have been protecting for many centuries. My master wishes to retrieve it. It was made by the Sith long ago, and to this day projects an aura of hatred and pain, you will not find it difficult to track. We already have an army prepared to land that will provide you with a suitable distraction to retrieve the stone. Do not fail, or the pain you have felt before will be nothing compared to what will await you."

"I will leave immediately Master."

"Yes, you will." She confirmed before waving her hand in dismissal and Harry left her presence.

Jedi Council Chambers

Hermione clasped her hands in front of her as she stood next to her Master Minerva, who was thrown into a ravine by Traxelli seven years ago, but did not die as Traxelli thought, next to her was her master's soon to be apprentice Luna Lovegood. The council had brought her here to assign a mission to her that if successful would see her join the ranks of Jedi Knight, and her spot as an apprentice to Minerva immediately taken by Luna who stood with them. This mission was more a formality than anything else, Hermione had already passed all the trials which proved her to be ready. But it was tradition to send a padawan on one more mission before her new rank became official.

"The trade federation has created a blockade around the planet of Naboo. We will be sending you three as ambassador's to the federation in response to the calls for help from the people of Naboo." Jedi Master Filius told them all before glancing over at Jedi Master Kingsley.

"You would send three Jedi out to be ambassador's on a simple trade dispute?" Hermione asked a little shocked at the overkill of such an action. Sending Jedi at all was less of a chance to negation and more of a direct order to cease action. To send three Jedi was, well it was threatening war, figuratively speaking.

"We sense that something much larger is going on than a simple trade dispute" Master Kingsley spoke up next. "The dark side of the force is shrouded all over the trade federation's actions. Your official mission is to go negotiate peace, your true mission, however, is to find out whatever you can about the reason behind these actions." Hermione nodded at this, satisfied with their answer. It was more reasonable to send three of them if it was suspected that they may encounter Sith on this mission.

Jedi Master Lupin spoke next. "Be careful all of you, do not engage the Sith if an option to avoid it exists. Be mindful of your emotions and the emotions of those around you, and always be aware of the living force." He advised before dismissing them from the council chambers.

Outside the chambers, Minerva smiled at each of the girls before telling them to be on board their transport in the morning. Then she strolled off down one of the halls.

As soon as Minerva was out of sight Luna slipped her hand into Hermione's and gave it a soft squeeze.

Hermione had met Luna only a few weeks after she recovered from her mission on Tatooine, a recovery that took months even with the vita tubes, advance medical surgery and force healing.

It was Luna who had helped her overcome her grief at losing her mate that day and it was Luna that gave her hope every day that she would see him again. She had walked up to her one day and asked about a black haired human boy with emerald eyes. A boy who in her visions had protected Luna from a blue Twi'lek sith woman. Luna wanted to know the name of the young man who kept appearing in her dreams. Hermione had been shocked at first then demanding as she interrogated Luna on how she could possibly know such things.

Eventually, they had built a friendship and Hermione had taken Luna under her wing and they helped each other. After so many years of spending almost every day together, they were as close as sisters now. They had spent many nights up late as Luna told Hermione of the things she saw about Harry, and though much of it was horrific, torture by the sith, brutal training, being forced to kill other. Hermione still wished to hear it all. The only things in life that Hermione lived for anymore where to protect Luna and to find Harry.

"Force-sister" Luna mumbled softly as she pulled Hermione into a tight hug, which Hermione instinctively returned.

"Yes, Little moon?" Luna had shared with Hermione the nickname Harry had given her in one of her visions and Hermione had used it to show affection ever since. Hermione was jerked from her thoughts when she feel damp tears land on her neck and shoulder.

"Luna, what is it?" Hermione asked worriedly as she pulled away to look luna in the eyes. What she saw surprised her, Luna wore the biggest smile she had ever seen the little blonde wear while tears of joy fell from her eyes. Her eyes which were currently glowing blue, the telltale sign she was receiving a vision from the force.

"Harry." Luna whispered and Hermione froze waiting for more. "Harry to going to Naboo Hermione. I see him leaving for the planet right now." At those words, Hermione's leg nearly gave out from under her.

"He is being sent to retrieve something for the Sith, he is alone."

"Are you sure Luna?" Hermione asked frantically dragging Luna down the deserted hallways as quickly as she could until she reached their quarters and Hermione ushered Luna inside quickly. Luna went straight to her bed and sat down still in her vision and Hermione sat next to her trembling with the need to know more and grabbed both of Luna's hand in her own and bit her tongue and waited for her vision to finish.

It didn't take long before the blue light left Luna's eyes and she turned her head to smile at Hermione.

"We will meet him, Hermione, I am almost sure of it. I saw many difference possibilities and only one of them involved us not meeting him, all the rest we did." Hermione couldn't stop herself she pulled Luna into a rib-cracking hug and tears of her own started to fall. She would finally meet her mate, after seven years she would get another chance to save him. A chance she didn't feel she deserved, she had already failed him once. But it was a chance she was being given and deserve it or not, she would not fail Harry again.

"Oh and he received his Sith name," Luna added almost as an afterthought. "Rayr"

Minerva, Hermione, and Luna left first things in the morning the next day, and Hermione and Luna could hardly sit still for the three-day trip to Naboo, and Minerva clearly noticed their excitement and reprimanded them for not controlling their emotions many times. Finally, they were in the range of the trade federations space station. The ships piolet pulled up a comlink with docking officials and relayed the ambassador's wish to dock immediately.

Their wish granted the trio were soon being guided by a protocol droid to a meeting room aboard the ship.

"My master's will be with you shortly," The droid said as they all sat down at the table before backing out of the room, leaving the Jedi alone.

Meanwhile, a ship landed on the dark side one of Naboo's moons. The piolet who had felt a familiar presence in the force as he entered the star system had finally landed his ship closed his eyes to focus the force upon that presence. It didn't take long for the force to start giving him images. A beautiful Togruta woman was sitting next to a small ghost like human girl and across from them both was a elderly Cathar woman as the images came in brief spurts the young human girl shivered and turned to look directly at him in the vision her milky eyes widening as if she truly saw him, in the next moment her hand had gripped Hermione's and Hermione whispered frantically at her, it was at this moment that Harry pulled himself out of the flow of the force and he started put a force block around his body to hide himself. It was clear that young girl extraordinarily force sensitive if she was able to sense him scrying them, especially when the human girl wasn't even the focus of the scrying the togruta had been. If that girl was on the planet his mission of finding and retrieving the stone secretly just became much harder. Harry did love a challenge, however.

"What is it, Luna," Hermione whispered as softly as she could when she felt Luna grabbed her hand so hard it felt as if her hand would break in the young girls grip.

Luna frantically shook her head while given her a look that screamed 'secret tell you later'

Hermione pressed thought. "Luna are we in danger?" She asked in a normal voice that had Minerva looked up to watch them.

Luna swallowed dryly before speaking. "I am not sure"

Hermione furrowed her brow and stared at Luna clearly demanding to know more. Luna shifted in her seat slightly before speaking again.

"I just sensed the Sith I had a vision a few nights ago, he was reaching out through the force and sensed all three of us," She said trying to be as vague as possible while giving Hermione enough information piece it together. It was clear by the way her eyes lit up that Hermione connected the dots and she squeezed her hand softly to confirm it to her. Meanwhile, Minerva who was just as aware of Luna's extreme sensitivity as all the masters were aware leaned forward to get her attention.

"Did this Sith find us Luna, does he know we are here?"

"Yes, Master though he immediately retreated into himself when he realized I had sensed him. Now I can't feel him anywhere." Minerva sat back a frown on her face as she closed her eyes.

"That is troubling, that we are not here for even an hour and already the Sith know of our presence. Did you try and follow him back, to find where he was?" She asked Luna once she reopened her eyes.

Luna shook her head no before explaining. "His presence vanished faster than I thought possible it was as if he retreated at the speed of light. I did instinctively reach in the direction he moved. But found nothing within my range." Luna didn't need to explain how far that was. Both Hermione and Minerva knew that if Luna focused she could feel the master's back on Coruscant from here three days of lightspeed travel away. Luna force sensitivity was legendary within the Order, at least among those who knew about it.

"So either he is even more in tuned with the force than you are and has a father range. Or it is as we Jedi have suspected for many years now. The Sith have found a away to hide from force sight. Neither option is reassuring." Minerva mused out loud before conversation stopped as the droid returned with some drinks.

The droid just finished setting the drink out when the room they were in shook with a nearby explosion and all three of the Jedi were on their feet lightsabers activated to fast for the eye to see.

In the next moment, a hissing noise came from the vents in the room as gas started pouring out.

"Dioxygen" Minerva warned and all of them took deep breaths and slowed their heart rate down.

A few minutes later the door's opened to show a whole squad of droids, their blasters pointed into the cloudy room.

Hermione leaped from the mist with Luna right behind her both quickly beheading a droid each before the squad could react as they did four of the droids flew through the air into the room were the sounds of them behind dismantled by a lightsaber were the only signs of what was happening in the room. The two remaining droids each fired a shot only to have Hermione and Luna deflect them back into the chest of each droid.

Minerva emerged a moment later and started walking down the left hallway without speaking, both Luna and Hermione falling in behind her. They had all talked about what to do if the federation tried this and they didn't need to speak as they headed to the bridge of the ship.

A few more squads got in their way, and were dispatched as easily and as quickly as the first.

Turning the last corner on the way to the bridge they heard the panicked Viceroy's voice shouting "Close the blast doors."

"So much for peaceful negotiation," Hermione said with a sarcastic sigh causing Luna to smirk.

As they neared the door Luna and Minerva turned around to guard the door as Hermione plunged her lightsaber into the center of the door and held it there. The metal around her blade started to turn cherry red and soon began to melt, small chunks falling away as the supporting metal around it feel away.

She was interrupted however when Luna shouted back to her. "Hermione, Destroyers." Which caused her to whip around blade raise in front of her as she activated her second blade in a reverse grip. Bare a second after she turned the three destroyer's opened fire through their one-way shields, that allowed bolts from one direction but not the other.

"It's a standstill, let go." Minerva commanded and all three for at once sprinting to their right enhancing their speed with the force. They eventually lost the destroyers by entering the ventilation of the ship.

It was nearly an hour later that the three Jedi crouched behind large supply containers watching a droid army being loaded onto landing ships.

"An army?" Hermione whispered to Minerva who was watching the droids with solemn eyes. Not that Hermione really expected an answer, the truth was there before them.

"We need to warn the Naboo," Luna whispered drawing Minerva from her thoughts as she did.

"Yes, Let's stow aboard from of these ships and meet up on the planet surface."

"Yes, master." Hermione and Luna said together.

Darth Rayr brought his ship in carefully in the dense forest near the city of Theed, the capital of Naboo. Once hidden with stealth technology he went to the training room aboard his ship and set the training on the highest level in an effort to keep thoughts of his past from surfacing. But even with near a dozen lasers shooting at him from all sides every second it wasn't enough to keep the small part of his mind that went back seven years to the young Togruta who had died just like her mother had to try and protect him. For the first few years with the Sith, he would think of her a few times again, and get punished for it whenever caught doing so. Eventually, he learned to lock his thoughts and feelings towards her away, to avoid punishment it caused him. His master always seemed to enter his mind when he was lost in his thoughts of her.

However seeing that Togruta brought all those thoughts he had locked away to the surface, and he knew if he didn't get a handle on them again he would go seek her out. She couldn't be the same person from seven years ago. Traxelli had told him she had died, and remembering the injuries that the girl had when he passed out Harry couldn't refute the claim. The girl had been at death's door and wouldn't have lasted even an hour in her state.

Yet something about the Togruta woman that was on the separatists ship screamed Hermione to him. Sure she looked extraordinarily similar, definitely older, but very similar. But more than that, she felt like Hermione.

'A sister or cousin perhaps?' He mused to himself as he lazily deflecting the bolts around him. Even his master had no idea to his true skill with the lightsaber or the force. All his life he had worked to hide his true intelligence, and skill from his so called family. As doing anything better than his cousin would lead to a severe beating, usually involving broken bones. Then later he hid such things to avoid attention when he was a slave for the hutt's. It was best to blend in there, if you never stood out, you were singled out for anything. It was the easiest way to survive there. With the Sith, he hid his skill for a different reason entirely. He would kill his master, he would destroyer her for what she had done to Hermione and himself, there wasn't a thing in this universe that would save her from him once he was strong enough.

Harry knew at that moment that if the Togruta girl had any relation to Hermione and her mother he would never to able to harm her, and that caused him to shiver slightly in fear. The pain he would experience if Traxelli were to find out about that weakness was too horrific for him to even imagine.

Harry thought back to the other two that were with Hermione. An old Cathar who was slightly familiar to him, but he had never been very good at telling apart the half animal-like races and had no real idea where the familiarity came from. And a younger human girl so sensitive to the force she had felt him, maybe even seen him as he had seen her. There was no feeling of familiarity about her.

As soon as night fell Harry made his way towards the capital, The armies wouldn't arrive until noon the next day to take the capital, but that didn't mean Harry couldn't start his search now.

Author's Note: Yes I know the federation stuff was practically from the Star Wars movie, I am doing a merge of the first movie elements with the first book of Harry Potter elements (artifact on Naboo, like the stone in Harry Potter, invasion trade federation etc like Star wars). After Naboo, the similarities will be much less obvious or nonexistent.
