Okay, so this is the third chapter of my story; hope I get this right...

.o00o.

When Harry, Hermione and Ron reached the Gryffindor common room they were swamped by their fellow Gryffindor's. They too were curious as to what was going on and since the trio had arrived later than everyone else, not to mention the fact that the trio in question was usually in the thick of all the problems, they simply assumed that the three knew what was going on. Their hopes were squashed when Harry loudly announced that they had absolutely no idea what was happening. Gryffindor's inhabitants quickly lost interest and they separated into their friendship groups to discuss what they thought might have occurred. Finally, Professor McGonagall arrived and chased the students to bed.

After tossing and turning for a few minutes Harry realised that he couldn't sleep; he was desperate to know who that man was and what he was doing here. He eventually reached the conclusion that he had to know. He reached over and tugged at Ron's bedsheets. His friend rolled over but didn't wake. Harry sighed and pulled again, hard this time. Ron tumbled out of bed hitting the floor with a muffled thump. Harry grinned in satisfaction, that was sure to have woken him up! "What was that for?" Ron growled.

"Come on!" Harry hissed. Ron blearily followed him, the red-haired boy still seemed half asleep.

"When the two reached the common room they discovered that Hermione was already there waiting for them. She nodded in approval "I had a feeling that the two of you would come down"

Harry answered with a smirk of his own "I'm guessing that you were wondering about the mystery man too?"

Ron, who had apparently woken up by now, was thoroughly confused "Actually," he said "I was more wondering why you woke me up"

Harry and Hermione sighed "We'll explain on the way" Harry said. "That reminds me, Hermione, do you have any idea where they might hold the mystery man?"

Hermione nodded "They said they would place him in a tower and the only tower room that is fit to hold prisoners would be where..." she hesitated "where they held Sirius" she blurted out.

All three friends were solemn. The death of Harry's godfather was still fresh in their minds. Harry shook himself out of his grief "Come on guys, let's go question the intruder."

Ahsoka stood on the bridge of the Defender with Obi-Wan and Anakin beside her "Remember Ahsoka," Obi-Wan said "While the mission may be to free Master Windu. You are in no circumstances to endanger your own life."

Anakin nodded "And if, you know, you don't want to help him you can always just leave him!"

Obi-Wan frowned at his former Padawan "Lets not push it that far" Anakin shrugged. Ahsoka grinned, it felt so good to hear their friendly banter once again. They were about to exit hyperspace over where Master Windu's last transmission was received from.

The blue lines of hyperspace started to fade from around them. Someone on the bridge gasped and several curses were to be heard. The small blue-and-green planet was surrounded by a Separatist blockade. Anakin cursed "Why does it have to be us!"

Obi-Wan shrugged "Oh, maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're Jedi? And why aren't you in your fighter yet?"

"I was just about to go!" Anakin shouted back.

Obi-Wan turned to Ahsoka "You best get in a fighter as well, although remember, do not engage the Separatists. Just go around. Understood?" Ahsoka nodded.

She ran towards the docking bay, she ran past clones starting their fighters, she ran past her Master's Starfighter which was just lifting off. All around her was the hectic sounds of an impending battle; oh, how she missed this. Finally, she came to the Starfighter she had used prior to her leaving the Order. Obi-Wan had obviously had it prepared for this mission. She started it up, feeling the familiarity of the controls. R7 beeped, excited to see her again. She grinned "You too, R7" she sped out of the hangar and into space.

Her Master was leading gold squadron against hordes of Vulture droids and she longed to spin around and help her comrades, but she had a mission to complete. Suddenly two droids separated from the pack. they were heading right for her. Ahsoka smirked, it appeared that she would get a taste of the action after all. She slammed the fighter to a less than graceful halt and the droids swept past her. Now she was free to fire upon them. The first droid went up in smoke and the second quickly followed the fate of the first. R7 sighed in that droid way droids had, he beeped something to her. Ahsoka laughed "Oh, R7 I'm sorry that you haven't had this much action recently!" She tilted her fighter to the right, angling it towards the planet below "Let's go get this job over and done with" the small droid squeaked with excitement at her words. R7 hadn't had this much fun since... since Ahsoka had walked away.

Look, I don't know if the Defender was that ship that they blew up in the episode 'Storm Over Ryloth' but it was the only Republic ship I could remember the name of, so it ended up in this story too.

Basically, the death of Sirius didn't happen so long ago and the students are still shocked and sad over it.

I'm going to explain this quickly, Professor McGonagall called all the students back to Hogwarts because she was worried over the threat from Voldemort and, like Hagrid said "...Nowhere safer, 'cept maybe 'ogwarts of course..."

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I should have the next chapter up on the weekend!

I'm really sorry about the chapter and how it turned out all weird like that but I went and changed it and now I think (hope) that it's fixed! Sorry.
