Chapter 62.

"I'll kill her!" Ron shouted as he and George cleared the canopy to chase Roganda in the open sky again.

The odds were down to two to one. At this rate, my prospects aren't good. At least no one died yet.

"Ron, you should know something," George said.

"What?"

"There's an anti-theft spell on our broomsticks. Mine and Fred's."

"What?"

"Normally, it's triggered twenty-four hours after the broomstick is stolen, but we can also activate it manually."

"What does it do?"

"Unfortunately, the manual trigger works only on both broomsticks at once," George said. He flew up and transferred over to Ron's broom.

"George, what are--"

"It turns a broomstick," George said, taking out his wand, "into a fluffy pink rabbit." A small flash came from his wand, and Ron immediately felt the increased load on his broom. Meanwhile, Roganda lost her support, and, screaming, plunged down, crashing into the forest below. Even her lightsaber, which she did ignite, couldn't help her.

Ron stopped. He had to, because when the meaning of George's words came to him, he burst out laughing. "I wish we were closer, so I could see her face," he said.

XXXXXXX

The wall of flame rushed up and consumed the Imperial behind her.

Coaxing the last reserves of power out of her engines, Hermione flew her fighter through the tunnel exit, into the open space beyond, and towards the waiting Rebel fleet.

Harry and Luke sat in the cockpit of the shuttle. They took Mara's clothes and Vader's armor aboard with them. Vader's body must have also vanished, since the armor was much lighter.

The hangar nearly collapsed around them, as flames sprouted from every opening. Luke piloted the shuttle away, quickly accelerating.

XXXXXXX

Behind her, the Death Star exploded.

She looked behind, just to make sure. The explosion was still there, still spreading. It was finally over. They won.

XXXXXXX

A small screen on the dashboard showed the station. Harry glanced at it. Small explosions were popping up on the surface, and then the entire metal sphere turned into a giant fireball.

"Let's go find our wayward siblings," George suggested.

Ron nodded, and then smiled. "Hey, look at that--" He pointed at the sky. An enormous ball of flame was where the Death Star hung moments before.

XXXXXXX

Luke took the shuttle down to the planet. "Harry, do you mind if we don't rejoin the rest for a while? I want to pay respects to my father, and I'm not sure anyone else will approve," he said.

"Of course. Mara as well. I certainly don't want to upset Hermione. She kidnapped her, you know."

Luke nodded. "I was going to set the armor on a funeral pyre."

"I guess I could do the same with her clothing," Harry said. "But I'll keep the lightsaber." Then he looked at Luke. "Sister?" he asked.

Luke smiled. "Leia," he replied.

"Leia?" Now that he mentions it... sure, it's possible.

"We're twins. Obi-Wan separated us when we were born, for protection, from our father and the Emperor."

Harry laughed. "So Han was jealous for nothing! I'd love to see him when he finds out!"

"I think he already knows. She probably told him."

Harry grunted in frustration. "Oh well."

They landed the shuttle some distance from the Ewok village they stayed in last night. Using their lightsabers, they quickly chopped down enough firewood for the pyre, and Luke laid down the armor once worn by Darth Vader. Harry added Mara's jumpsuit and belt on top, and Luke set the whole thing to the torch. Flames consumed the remains of two former Imperial servants who helped bring down the Empire.

"He died a Jedi," Luke said.

"So did she," Harry replied.

"Goodbye, father," Luke whispered. "Goodbye... Mara."

"Goodbye, Mara," Harry barely held his tears back. "Goodbye, Anakin."
