"You have him," said the distorted image on the view screen, the tone indicated that it wasn't a question.


"Yes Master."


The image with its face shrouded in shadow nodded, "Good bring him to me."


oOoOoOo



Chapter 11 - A New Order


"Harry we are just coming out of hyperspace," reported Luna as she touched him on the shoulder.


Harry dropped out of his meditation and looked out the small cockpit window as they returned to relativistic space. The centre of the Republic lay was a very busy point in space and they were kept busy as they brought the shuttle in to land at a public spaceport near a large residential centre. Both were dressed as merchant fleeter with blasters strapped on their hips and their lightsabers hidden by concealment spells.


"Where first?" asked Luna as she looked around


"Let's find somewhere a bit out of the way and get in contact with the others," suggested Harry as he glanced around the busy landing area.


"Let's head for that bar," said Luna as she spotted a sign on the other side of the open walkway.


The bar was a dive but perfect for their purposes as it was nearly deserted. Luna took a table at the back of the room while Harry walked to the droid at the bar and purchased two drinks before walking back over.


"I couldn't sense anyone and this place just has the basic security surveillance package around the bar area, unfortunately its now malfunctioning," said Harry as he sat and slid Luna a drink she wouldn't be touching.


Luna nodded and pulled out a communicator and punched in a twelve digit code before holding the unit to her ear, "Sirius its Luna we have arrived and we'll check in later. Give Hermione our love."


Harry looked around again before pulling out his wand, "Point me Ronald Weasley."


Harry's wand spun listlessly for a few moments before Harry ended the spell.


Luna looked out the small dirty window trying to sense Ron within the Force, There was a presence but Coruscant was so cloaked in the Dark side of the Force it was impossible tell where that presence was located.


After another futile attempt with the point me spell Harry re-sheathed his wand, "Damn so it's plan B time, let's go."


"Plan B?" repeated Luna with a touch of amusement in her voice.


Harry cleared his throat, "Yes plan B."


"Do we actually have a plan B?" asked Luna innocently.



oOoOoOo


By the time they had reached their ship they had a plan B.


Harry looked a bit skeptical as he watched Luna settle down on her knees, "Are you sure this will work?"


Luna shrugged her expression serious, "No, but we are running out of time and options if they take Ron off-world we may never track him down."


Harry nodded even though Luna had shut her eyes and missed the gesture. He trusted her judgement but this was something she had only tried in a controlled environment. Darth Vectivus had called it Dark Sight and had cautioned against overusing it. In theory Luna would be boosting her seer abilities, amplifying her skill by fueling it with emotion. There in lay the risk, using Dark Sight slowly corrupted the user as they essentially became Dark side conduits. Harry knew Luna was strong willed and their training had been around how to use their abilities safely and when to avoid using them at all. Right now this was required so his role became to watch Luna and be prepared to break her trance should he sense the dark gaining ascendancy.


As she slipped further in to the meditative trance Luna began to extend her senses. As Harry knelt by her side he could feel the tendrils of Dark Side energy as it swirled out from Luna seeking out the unique Force presence that was Ron.


oOoOoOo


LiMerge Power building - The Works - Coruscant


Ron awoke naked and strapped to a metal table. He tried to move but pain forced him to remain still. He tried to centre himself and connect with the Force but with pain coursing through his system he wasn't able to maintain it for more than a moment or two.


"You have been injected with a synaptic inhibitor so you will find it quite painful to move."


Ron managed to master the pain enough to turn his head toward the voice. He could just make out a figure sitting in the shadows, "W....who..."


"I have questions that need answers my new friend and soon you will give them to me," the shadowy figure stood and was replaced by a non-humanoid shape, an oddly shaped sphere that hummed ominously as it approached.


oOoOoOo


Luna found her new awareness somewhat disconcerting it felt like she had a thousand eyes all looking at different things from different angles. Concentrating she began to seek out the unique Force presence that was Ron.


Then she caught a slight, familiar waver in the Force, an echo of pain and fear. Luna followed it through the sea of life forces that was Coruscant she followed the faint thread until she came to a featureless steel room.


Ron was unconscious but alive that much she could sense, looking around she memorized the room and drew back her awareness until the building, a warehouse or factory of some sort came in to view, the LiMerge Power building.


Luna opened her eyes and shuddered as negative emotions churned through her. Anger at Ron's torture; fear for him, hatred of the animals that had.......and then Harry was with her.


Luna felt a calming presence as Harry lent her the strength to regain control of herself.


As she opened her eyes Luna looked in to the worried face of Harry, "Harry?"


Harry seemed to relax after a few moments, "Your eyes Luna for a second they were ringed with amber, they've changed back now."


Knowing what he feared Luna touched his hand and Force projected her love for him, "I am me my love."


Looking relieved Harry nodded, "Did you find him?"


"Yes, he's being held in what looks like an abandoned factory, whatever it is now the place is a vortex of Dark side energy. We need to get him soon."


Harry quickly got Luna to walk through the room's appearance before he closed his eyes for a moment, "I don't like it, something is off with that set up. You don't abduct a victim and leave him alone in a huge room. I'd suspect it's quite heavily guarded."


"I didn't sense anything but the room was rife with Dark side energy, perhaps they are concealed the Force knows Dark siders are good at it."


Harry nodded, "So do we wander in to the spider's lair?"


"I'm pretty comfortable with the layout I'll apparate us in. We grab Ron and apparate out."


"Sounds like a good plan."


oOoOoOo

Darth Sidious watched the monitor in fascination. The human it showed was by every measure a standard human male, a Force sensitive of course even if he wasn't a Jedi. What was different was the strange Force presence he had. Not overly powerful but different enough that he could sense it. So far he had remained unbroken but he was close and the interrogation droid had record a few interesting answers. A pity the subject had been so weak on arrival, it delayed the process. The Sith Lord was about to instruct the droid to sedate the subject when two figures appeared out of nowhere, right in the centre of the room.


The male immediately attacked the droid destroying it while the female worked to free the subject. The automated defenses activated but the male intruder simply gestured and activated some sort of personal energy field that absorbed the blaster fire from the two droids hidden in the shadows.


Sidious started to stand even as they freed the boy, the male disappeared with his prize followed by the female who had paused for a moment to smile insolently at the camera and offer a small, jolly wave.


The Dark Lord of the Sith sat back down in shock. The technology they had used to raid his facility was incredible enough but the fact that they had found it was frightening. How had they done it? With a silent hiss of frustrated anger he stood and walked quickly toward his personal transport. This facility was now compromised and it was time to abandon it and see to it that nothing remained that could help his enemies. As his droid piloted shuttle pulled away he touched the single button on a simple device and far behind dozens of volatile Thermite charges ignited.


Another button activated a small communication screen and opened a secure channel which was answered almost immediately, "There have been an unforeseen setback, contact your students I have a new mission for them," the figure looked at the small sealed unit that held the tissue samples he had collected from his former prisoner.


oOoOoOo


Yoda smiled at his visitors, "Good to see you once more it is."


Harry smiled and sketched a bow for the Jedi Master, "Thank you Master Jedi."


Yoda smiled and waved his hand at Harry and the others, "So formal you are, your Master I am not, less familiar you can be."


Harry nodded toward the diminutive Jedi Master, "Thank you for the medical treatment for Ron."


Yoda gestured toward the medical bay where Ron was being treated by a medical droid and fussed over by a relieved Hermione, "An amazing rescue it was, how you found him, like to ask you I would."


Harry was expressionless as he considered Yoda, "Luna found him while she was in a Force trance."


Yoda frowned for a moment, "Hmmmm," Harry could almost feel the Jedi's suspicion.


Luna gestured toward Ron, "Ron is our friend Yoda and we were not going to leave him in enemy hands."


Yoda considered the group of Force users for a moment before inclining his head in acknowledgement of the end of that line of enquiry.


"There was someone else there Yoda, someone powerful and absolutely surrounded by the Dark side of the Force," Luna frowned for a moment before she continued. "I've never seen a living being so out of balance in the Force, it was like a black cloud of Dark side energy."


Yoda considered Luna's words for a moment. Was there a powerful Sith on Coruscant and exactly how well placed were the Sith amongst the Republic's power structure? More and more evidence seemed to imply there was. Odd military grade ships, Sith trained assassins, raids countered, strange reversals of political positions. Even the Sith they had captured, a potential intelligence coup had been a failure as she had somehow committed suicide once placed in her cell.


The door hissed open to reveal a smoke stained Obi-Wan accompanied by Mace Windu.


Obi-Wan acknowledged the others with a nod before turning to Yoda, "Master the building in question has been destroyed by a fire."


Yoda's eyes narrowed for a moment before he turned to Mace, "A new problem we have."


Mace frowned as he considered Yoda's words, "It is beginning to look like there is a Sith on Coruscant."


oOoOoOo


In the end it was decided that Hermione, Remus and Sirius would accompany Ron back to Haven. To say Sirius was unhappy was an understatement, "Bloody hell Harry, where the hell are you running off to now?"


Luna gestured and cast a silencing charm around them before nodding to Harry, "Before we left Haven we were informed that time is running short and we needed to identify our enemy if were to succeed with our plans."


"And" added Luna, "We need to start searching out Force sensitive's to recruit to our cause. We won't be able to save everyone but there people we are going to need."


"How do you plan to do that?" asked Remus.


Harry gestured to the large window, "We start right here by tracking down the Sith on Coruscant because whoever it is they are aware of us and that is a problem. Well that and the fact that the Rule of Two that the Sith follow doesn't preclude them training Force sensitive's as assassins and soldiers."


"Like the one that nearly killed Ron," said Hermione with quiet intensity.


Luna nodded, "Yes and the one that abducted Ron, I don't think they are true Sith but that hardly matters if some Sith is controlling them."


"What will the rest of us be doing then?" asked Sirius.


Harry put a hand on his godfathers shoulder, "You will be completing your studies as well as helping us find those we need as well as helping train those that we send to Haven. Altis and Keisha will need help running Haven as well so don't worry you'll be busy."


Luna smiled at them before turning to Hermione, "Your work cataloging the knowledge in the Holocron's and in the scrolls and books we have is still critical if we are to educate a new generation of Force Adepts."


Sirius exchanged a look with Remus before sighing, "Okay I accept that it's important stuff but....look just try to be careful, for me."


oOoOoOo


"Thank Merlin for conjuration," said Harry as he ran his hands along the side of the brand new YZ-775 Light Freighter he had just purchased from the main Corellian Engineering Corporation dealer on Coruscant.


Luna grinned at Harry, "You realise that without a ministry of magic you and I could be filthy rich after an hour or two's work?"


"Why would we need to be rich?" asked Harry as he continued to study the ship.


Luna rolled her eyes and went back to studying the ships specs on her data reader. Harry and Luna had spent an hour or so in the morning checking out jewelers, or more importantly their products. They had then spent another couple of hours conjuring Amaralite gemstones to sell. Overall they had netted more then enough to buy the light freighter. A ship big enough for their needs and unlike the Talia it had been fitted with some significant aftermarket weaponry.


Luna finished scrolling through the specs and pocketed the reader. Harry had disappeared from view and it took her a few moments before she found him examining the weapon mounts, "Can we head in for a moment?"


With a nod he followed Luna up the ramp in to the brightly lit interior and watched her cast a silencing charm on the area surrounding them.


Luna sat on the simple padded bench and gestured for Harry to sit next to her; as he sat down she put her head on his shoulder, "Sooo what now?"


Harry smiled as he took her hand, "Well now we wait for the Sith to show their hand."


"You think they know where we are?" asked Luna.


"Considering everything that has happened do you believe they don't?" asked Harry in return.


"So we wait for them to come to us?"


Harry nodded and kissed Luna's hand, "I don't want to lead them to Haven and we know the Sith have eyes here. Hell we just grabbed Ron out from under their noses they'll be after us."


Luna slipped her hand in to Harry's tunic as she replied, "Okay so we hand around being seen and poking our noses in to dark corners and shadows while we wait for the bad guys to turn up."


"Pretty much," replied Harry somewhat distractedly as Luna's hand worked its way up his torso.


Luna tilted her head to kiss Harry's neck, "How about we check out our cabin?"


oOoOoOo


"What are they doing?" asked Anakin in frustration.


Harry and Luna had been engaged in a seemingly random pattern of activities. Shopping, hanging out in bars, searching the public data banks and buying a brand new transport ship, an expensive top of the line armed transport. For the two Jedi shadowing them it was rather frustrating.


"They are not being particularly subtle about their activities," commented Obi-Wan neutrally.


"Like disappearing back to their ship to rut like nerf's every few hours," Anakin muttered to himself.


Obi-Wan turned to look at his Padawan with a thoughtful expression, "I think I know what they are doing and I think we need to contact Master Yoda."


oOoOoOo


"Hmmm attempting to draw the Sith out you think they are?" asked Yoda.


Obi-Wan nodded, "It's the only thing that makes sense master. They are going through the motions of investigating something very visibly in an attempt to make them a target."


Yoda closed his eyes and tried to sense something from the Force, a nudge toward a possible future and was once more defeated by the swirling blackness of the Dark side, "Bold they are but dangerous their plan is. Trust them I do, still watch them we must, ready to intervene we must be."


Obi-Wan nodded, "We will keep an eye on them. Master Yoda?"


"A question you have?" asked Yoda.


Obi-Wan glanced at Anakin before returning his gaze to Yoda, "Master Yoda do you believe there is a Sith lord on Coruscant?"


Yoda turned to look out the Jedi temples large windows for a few moments before replying, "Blind we have been, your Master Qui Gon warned us he did, listen we did not. Dooku betrayed us but believe we did not. A Sith there is I think but divided the council is."


"Should we notify the chancellor's office, I mean he should be warned," Anakin added with concern for his friend evident in his voice.


Obi-Wan frowned at his Padawan's obvious concern for a politician, a particularly powerful and manipulative politician, "Anakin what if the Sith is a member of the chancellors staff or one of his trusted senators?"


Anakin looked torn for a moment before nodding, "I understand Master."


oOoOoOo


Nimeah Tral studied the two humans from the shadows of the small alcove concealed by a Force cloak. They were talking quietly to a street vendor, questioning the merchant. They didn't look to be that much of a threat but her Master's orders were very clear, find them and determine their numbers and defences. Nimeah knew she was one of her Master's most trusted spies. She had been taken as an orphan from the streets of her homeworld, one of the first Force sensitive's to be trained as a spy and killer and she had excelled.


As the two humans moved off she moved to follow, all the time maintaining her cloaking field. They were rather inept at concealment and made only a token attempt to throw off anyone following them. To a Sith trained spy and assassin it was pathetically easy.


oOoOoOo


"Is she still following us?" asked Harry as he made his way through the crowds.


Luna nodded, "I can still sense her and I just caught a fuzzy reflection in a shop window."


"Sloppy of her and good for us," said Harry with a grin.


Luna and Harry moved randomly through the streets, lifts and walkways of Coruscant headed back toward their ship. Luna could still sense the woman following them even if they only caught an occasional glimpse of the visual distortion that their training told them indicated the presence of a Force based cloak.


As they approached their landing bay Harry gestured at their ship, "I think straight to the ship, I'll activate the ward array and then we will see what our blurry friend may know."


oOoOoOo


Nimeah watched as her targets walked straight in to a large newly built freighter. Both had done nothing to indicate they were aware of her presence but her training had instilled both skill and wariness. She quickly sent another coded message before moving slowly toward the rear of the ship, making sure to keep the main hatch in sight.


Harry disillusioned himself before apparating to a spot twenty meters from the ship. After a moment he could just make out the distortion field near the rear of the ship. Taking careful aim he began casting a string of stunners in to the centre of the distortion field. In their wake was a crumpled figure. Harry quickly moved to the figure and checked it was breathing before taking hold of her arm and apparating them both in to the ship.


After dispelling his disillusionment spell he searched the youngish looking woman removing a blaster and several pieces of equipment while Luna stood guard.


"Bind her Harry," ordered Luna.


Harry nodded and then conjured ropes to bind their prisoner.


Luna revived their prisoner and Harry stepped forward in to the woman's line of sight, "We don't have a lot of time Miss so would you care to tell us who you are."


Silence


Harry sighed and knelt down to face the bound woman, "Let me explain a bit better, you are working for a Sith and you have most likely had some training because your aura is nearly black despite your pretty face. We need information that you have and I need it now so start talking." Harry was using as much Force persuasion as he could but the woman's defenses against the mind trick were holding.


"You won't trick me Jedi," hissed the woman.


"Luna she's all yours," said Harry as he stood and stepped back.


Luna knelt and touched the woman's face and closed her eyes trying to use Force empathy but again the woman's mental shields held and Luna got nothing but a feeling of fear mixed with anxiety and a sense of victory.


Luna shook her head and looked up at Harry who nodded; they had discussed this and the risk of using the dark side ability known as knowledge draining. It had been used by Sith to extract knowledge out of a sentient without his or her consent. It was painful and had many risks. By nodding Harry was leaving the decision in Luna's hands.


Summoning her strength Luna reached out and placed both her hands on the woman's face and instead of skimming she dove in shattering the Sith's defenses and entering her memories. Hundreds of images, sounds and smells assaulted her awareness as she battled her way through trying to find what they needed. There a face...in shadows and associated with power....fear and pain.....a meeting in the senate, a name....Darth Sidious, Sith Lord. The pain was growing as she struggled to keep up the Force connection with an unwilling participant and then it happened, the connection snapped. For a moment Luna was nearly blinded by a backlash of pain.


"Are you okay?" asked Harry as he helped Luna sit up.


Luna glanced at the unconscious form of Nimeah, "Harry get a message to Obi-Wan, we need to warn the Jedi, I think that the Sith we are after is a senator."


oOoOoOo


Jedi Temple


Yoda truly enjoyed the time he had in the classroom, Padawan learners were open to new experiences and embraced them with passionate dedication. He was just about to demonstrate using the Force to sense hidden movement when the door slid open to expose Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.


Obi-Wan bowed to Yoda and then the room, "I'm sorry to interrupt Master but we have had a development with our mission."


Yoda turned to his students and tapped his glimmer stick on the ground, "Padawan's through the practice forms you must move, return I will."


As the Padawan's began moving through the first of the practice moves that would eventually lead in to the first of the Lightsaber forms Yoda gestured for Obi-Wan and Anakin to follow him from the room.


"News you have?" asked Yoda.


Obi-wan handed Yoda a small data pad, "Yes Master, Harry and Luna have sent a message saying they have information for us."


Yoda read the brief message, "Investigate you must, answers we must have."


oOoOoOo


Count Dooku inclined his head to ward the flickering hologram, "Master?"


"My agent has found them; Send in your Dark acolytes and remember I want them taken alive."


Dooku keyed an entry into his own data pad, "It is being done."


oOoOoOo


"They're on the way over from the Temple," reported Harry.


"Good I...: Luna froze for a moment before turning to Harry, "We're in danger."


Harry nodded, "I know I can feel it too, three of them," turning he cast a disillusionment charm on the bound prisoner and as she shimmered out of sight the hatch crumpled inward and two figures burst through the opening. Harry immediately moved to engage the first as the second charged past him targeting Luna.


oOoOoOo


Asajj Ventress watched as her the two dark acolytes leapt in to the ship to confront the two Force sensitives within. She was about to join them when two familiar Force presences entered her awareness, "Skywalker and Kenobi."


Looking around she spotted a small speeder approaching at high speed with narrowed eyes she drew her lightsaber and prepared herself, here chance to get even with the two Jedi who had ruined so many of her missions.


Anakin turned to Obi-Wan as he pushed the speeder to full speed, "Something is wrong," he offered in explanation as he spun the speeder in to steep dive just missing an ascending freighter.


"Anakin..." warned Obi-Wan as they shot through two approaching ships, navigating a space most pilots would be hard pressed to copy at low speed.


"Sorry Master but it's the..." Anakin smoothly took the speeder through an inverted spin.


"....traffic in this section lot's of slow commercial vessels."


A slightly green Obi-Wan was about to launch in to speech about foolish flying when he sensed a familiar Force presence, Ventress.


"Anakin by the freighter, Ventress," warned Obi-Wan as he undid his restraints and clutched his lightsaber


"I see her," acknowledged Anakin as he slowed the speeder enough to allow Obi-Wan to leap from the cockpit and land on his feet in front of Ventress while Anakin cut the engines and let the speeder slam hard in to the ground as he Force leapt to land beside Obi-Wan.


Ventress drew her red bladed lightsabers and ignited them, "Two more to the slaughter then Master Jedi."


As the Darksider said Jedi she attacked with one blade lancing toward Obi-Wan who was forced to spin away from the thrust while the other slashed toward Anakin forcing him to block the red hued lightsaber.


Anakin countered only to have Ventress Force jump over his head, spinning to land behind Obi-Wan who she re-engaged. Anakin had to concede that it was a brilliant move as it put Obi-Wan between them and in the large open area she could keep use the space to avoid having to face them both at once.


Obi-Wan traded blows with Ventress who seemed more determined to defend rather than attack, an attitude reinforced when Anakin rejoined the fight and Ventress used an acrobatic Force maneuver to again reposition herself forcing the two Jedi to close and attack. Obi-Wan held back for a moment as Anakin attacked again only to find his opponent determined to parry and disengage. Something was not right it was like she was trying to delay them and draw them away from.......Obi-Wan looked around the landing bay and took in the buckled hatch on the ship and the faint sounds of combat from within it and realised her plan, "Anakin the ship she's delaying us."


Anakin heard Obi-Wan's warning and saw his opponent's eye's narrow in anger before she unleashed a flurry of strikes on him.


oOoOoOo


Norellian Sahl ducked under a frighteningly quick attack from the Padawan facing her. She had been a Jedi ere her eyes being opened to true Force mastery and she had immediately made the assumption that the human teenager had been a Padawan learner; her counterattack had dispelled that idea. True to her new Masters teachings she could feel her anger rising up; giving power to her moves adding grace and deadly speed to her attacks but it wasn't enough. The Jedi simply battered her attacks aside and retaliated with counters that were not easily blocked. Growing more concerned she backed away and raised her left hand summoning all her hatred and fear to cast Force lightning at the blond.


The blond simply raised a hand and deflected the attack straight back at her, "Nooooo...arrghhhh," pain coursed through the fallen Jedi as her own attack struck her sending her crashing in to the bulkhead. She managed to raise her head just in time to see a lightsaber as it descended.



Tol Skorr watched as Norellian rushed past to engage the female target, his own opponent was a teenager dressed in a strange almost military uniform of black and grey, still the lad had a lightsaber so he would need to be disarmed. He raised his own weapon in salute and launched himself at the boy with a vicious Ataru based attack designed to quickly beat down an opponents defences. By his third blow he was in trouble.


The boy was quick and agile and his lightsaber form, apparently a blending of Ataru and Djem So with a strong defense combined with lightning quick counter strikes, a difficult form to counter but not perfect as it left the user open to other Force based attacks, a quick tilt of his own lightsaber turned aside the boys counter giving him a chance to raise his hand and begin to Force choking his opponent a tactic sure to distract or disable him enough to enable a capture.


Harry turned aside another attack form his human opponent and struck back forcing the man to counter. He was about to follow it with another attack when he felt his throat being squeezed closed by an invisible vice. Obviously the Darksider was using a Force choke on him. Well the trouble with that was that it was easily countered. Harry flicked his wrist to summon his wand and cast a wordless bone breaker at the smirking human. The relatively easily avoided spell struck the human in the throat shattering several vertebrae and severing his spinal column, sending him to the floor like a puppet with its strings cut.


"You okay Harry?" asked Luna as she rejoined him by his fallen opponent.


"My throats a bit sore but otherwise I'm good," Harry gestured outside and Luna nodded.


oOoOoOo


Anakin launched a lightning fast strike at Ventress who parried the attack and kicked back to strike Obi-Wan in the thigh sending the older Jedi stumbling back a few steps then with a Force push she sent the off balance Jedi slamming in to a metal landing strut as she blocked Anakin's attack.


With a snarl Anakin again stepped up his attack but again Ventress seemed to be unwilling to give ground, then she seemed to stumble and fell face first off the boarding ramp.


"Bet she wasn't expecting that," said Harry as he exited the damaged hatch followed by Luna.


"What?" exclaimed Anakin "Is she dead?"


"Just stunned," Luna assured him before looking around and frowning, "We've got company coming, a drop ship."


Anakin looked up to see the descending ship descending, "That will be reinforcements from the temple. I'm surprised they took so long."


Harry gestured toward Obi-Wan, "You check your friend we'll get your sparring partner."

Anakin nodded as he crossed over to where a groaning Obi-Wan lay on his side and began checking his Master over for injuries.


Harry leaned over to check where the Sith was only to find there was no body, "Luna cover me," he ordered as he dropped to the ground beside the ramp. Sure enough there was no body to be seen.


"How the bloody hell did you manage that?" whispered Harry.


oOoOoOo


Haven - Outer Rim


"Mione?"


"Ron!" screamed Hermione in surprise nearly dropping her book.


"Bloody hell Mione, eardrums," said Ron with a wince.


Hermione snatched up his hand and squeezed it, "We've been so worried, you just stay in bed while I go and get Alissa."


oOoOoOo


Alissa finished scanning Ron and handed the medical scanner off to Remus, "You're doing well Ron. All your readings are excellent; the clinic really did fantastic work repairing your heart and lungs."


"From what Hermione has told me I'm lucky to be here," said Ron as he kissed Hermione's hand.


Sirius gestured toward Ron's chest, "Damn right Ron, we thought you'd had it when that happened."


"Damn right Padfoot, I shudder to think what would have happened if I'd had to have told your mother," said Remus.


Ron had to smile at the thought of the former professor confronting the matriarch of the Weasley family, "You know I should, you know let them know Mum will go off if she finds out I didn't tell her."


"That's not actually a bad idea Ron," mused Hermione "There are quite a few things we could use."


"What's not a bad idea?" asked Ron.


Hermione gave Ron's hand another squeeze, "A trip to Earth."
