A Warrior's Way
JK-Chan: Welps everyone I have decided to get back into the writing scene again LOL. Trying my hand at a HP/SW x-over, hoping this does well.
Summary: Harry is found by someone no one expected and is raised to become more than just a sacrificial lamb… he is a commander and a warrior.
Chapter 1: A Warrior's Prerogative
"Harrison Solo-Fel!" came the shout as a young man bounded past a couple standing on a beach.
The teen slid to a stop and turned to look over at the woman that had shouted at him, "Yes Mum?" he asked, trying to look innocent and failing.
A sigh left her but the smile stayed, "I know we are on a new planet, but we are not here by choice. We are here because of an odd summons that showed up." She said.
"I know mum. It is why you and dad are here. And why you took over my training from Master Durran," he explained, "but mum, this could maybe help with the war back home. I wish I could have flown or at least brought my fighter and R-7 with me." He said.
The young woman stepped to his side, "I know, but this planet does not have the technology that we are used to. They are pre-hyperspace and that in of itself can cause issues if we show up with fighters and odd droids" she told him, "we are here to find out about this and see if there is anything that we can possibly use. "
A man moved behind the woman and spoke as well, "This is your birth planet and you have a secondary energy source outside of the force according to your mother, uncle, and master. So perhaps we can figure this out." He told him.
The teen sighed then spoke, "I apologize to you both" he said formally.
The young woman smiled as her hand ran through messy black hair, "no apologies needed my young son," she said.
Harrison nodded his head, "so what now?" he asked his parents.
The woman closed her eyes and called on the force to see what would be the best course of action, "There is nothing here for us," she began, "But we are needed to save someone here." She then turned and headed towards the cloaked ship.
The two males looked at one another before shrugging and following her into the ship. Once they were onboard the ramp closed and the ship took off with a quiet whine of the engines. The elder of the two moved into the co-pilot's chair and glanced over.
"What did you see?" he asked her.
The woman looked over, "A castle that is being used as a school in the same country that we found Harrison." She told them, "but the man there he is steeped in darkness and I fear if we stay he will manipulate our son into doing something he will not wish to do." She said, "I believe he is the one that sent that message."
The ship flew over the ocean and angled along the coast before heading inland. Harrison looked out the window then frowned as he felt that strange energy permeating the large forest full of ancient trees. His eyes then tracked to the west and soon he saw the castle that his mum had spoken over. He moved to one of the other areas and began doing a scan of the immediate vicinity before pointing out an area that would work to land without disturbing the area. The woman nodded and then began landing the ship, placing it into stand-by instead of shutting it down. Something told her it would be needed. She grabbed her robe and sighed as she put it on, but left her lightsaber in the hidden compartment near the pilot's chair as well as her blaster. She gave a pointed look to her son to do the same and he did with a small pout.
"I feel naked without my weapons." He said as he pulled on the robe and groaned, "and why the robe? Why can't I just wear what I normally wear?"
"we are representing the Jedi order and this is the best way to do so that does not seem threatening," she explained to her son, "and we want to appear as least threatening as possible to this backworld planet."
The man smirked as he heard the tone of voice that bespoke of hating something yet dealing with it, "It is truly backworld and deep into the Unknown Regions. Not even the Chiss are aware of it" he said as he stowed his own blaster away, but he did put on his ceremonial sword that matched his dress uniform.
"Wait… it's that far into the Unknown Region? Then how did you find me?" he asked.
Before the woman could say anything the man spoke again, "oh that is a bit of a funny story. You see your mum decided to delve into the force far deeper than is advised. And without an anchor." He said with a chuckle, "Grandmaster Skywalker was not amused and gave her quite the blistering lecture from what I hear."
The woman gave the man a force slap upside his head and then strode down the now lowered ramp, "continue telling stories like that and you will be sleeping outside with the kryat dragons." She said with a huff.
Harrison laughed as he followed behind, "so the force showed you me?" he asked her.
Soft eyes looked to her son and smiled, "It did. I came here thinking I might find a weapon to help with the war, but instead it brought me to a shivering child left outside in the middle of winter. I knew then that you were for me and I would raise you to be a wonderful young man. You saved me that day as well for I was in a very dark place having lost my younger brother and already deep into the war back home." She said, "I would never change any of it though."
Harrison smiled to his mum, "well let's get what we need and get out of here. This place feels oily and suffocating," he said as he stepped onto the grass and saw people approaching, "I think we triggered some type of arcane security system." He commented, eyes looking around for any type of weapon or defensive system, his analytical mind working for all possibilities already.
"And people question why he was named as one of the squadron commanders, they have never watched him in action then." The man said as they walked towards the approaching adults.
"Don't say that too loudly, we do not want to give him a big head at all" she said then squared her shoulders, eyes falling onto the man with a long beard at the head of the group.
Dumbledore had felt the wards surrounding the grounds of the school suddenly scream out that the wards had been broken and breached. He had told Minerva and Filius to follow him, informing the others to keep the students inside. Severus tried to protest, but decided not to argue over something as silly as this. As he moved across the lawn of the school grounds he caught the sight of three people appearing out of nowhere, two were obviously adults and the third was a teen. The woman and the teen wore camel colored robes with the hoods pulled up that shadowed their faces; the man was in some type of military garb. What was odd was that despite the wards being triggered it was not apparition that had caused it, it was something else. The elder wizard moved towards the trio and stopped a few feet away, taking in what he could see.
"Welcome to Hogwarts travelers," Dumbledore said, though his tone was taking a cautionary lilt, "I am not sure how you were able to breach the wards that protect this institution of learning, but nonetheless you have. I am Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and whom am I speaking to?"
The woman stepped forward to speak, "I am General and Master Jedi Jaina Solo-Fel and this is my husband Commander General Jagged Fel of the Chiss Army. And our son Jedi Apprentice and Commander Harrison Solo-Fel." She said, introducing them by their titles.
Dumbledore's focus turned to the teenager there, trying to get a better view of just who was under the hood. The teen pulled the hood back, a smirk upon his lips, as he exposed the long dark hair and deep green eyes that held a hint of honey around the pupil. The face had thinned out some with age, but there standing before him was the very child that went missing so many years prior. The headmaster heard Minerva gasp as she too realized just who the young man was that stood before them. Despite being older, he was still far too much like his father and mother to dismiss easily. His hand went to his wand to forcibly return the young man to his rightful place among the magical world and Dumbledore knew much work will need to be done to erase whatever these foreigners had done to him. Harry noticed that the man was reaching for a weapon and in an instant he had disarmed the other, the wand smacking into his hand quickly. The young man ignored the strange sensation that moved up his arm after the wand made contact with his hand. He narrowed his eyes on the man there, ignoring the other two despite their wands being out and pointed at the trio. Dumbledore just stood there in shock as he narrowed his eyes at the teenager there as well as the two adults that did nothing to stop him. If anything the pair were smirking as if they knew that the boy would not be harmed by any there.
"Harry…my boy…come over here," Dumbledore said suddenly, "I am not sure how you ended up with those people, but you need to come here so we can protect you from your kidnappers."
Jaina had to restrain the urge to laugh as she heard this, but did not say anything as her son spoke at that moment, "My kidnappers? You must be kidding me." He said as he caught the surface thoughts of the elderly woman there and nearly growled, "It was you then that left me with those people." He said as his eyes focused on the elderly man.
Dumbledore started as if he had been slapped, "If you mean your loving relatives then yes" he said though he knew they were not the kind loving souls that he was trying to make them out to be.
Harry laughed, but it was cold and without mirth, "Loving? You call locking me in a cupboard under the stairs just for breathing kind? You call starving me to the point where I was barely able to function kind? Do you call making me do all the cooking and cleaning at the tender age of three loving? Then you must be mad in the head" he said, the force starting to make his hair and robes flutter.
Minerva frowned as she saw this, "Mr. Potter control yourself this very instant! You are losing control of your magic!" she chided him.
Harry did not take his eyes from the man there, "Madame I assure you I am not using this magic that you speak of." He said then spoke to Dumbledore, "now explain how you believe that me staying in that home, and I use that term very loosely, is anyways conducive to a healthy lifestyle."
Jagged moved to lay a hand on his son's shoulder, but Jaina shook her head and held him back with a whispered, "let him do this." She said.
Dumbledore was not exactly powerless without his wand, but his repertoire of spells that he could cast without one was very limited, "come here. These people must have bespelled you my boy. I have spoken to your aunt on a few occasion while searching for you and she is worried to death about you." He said, giving a very convincing lie in the face of all there.
"Your lies may be believed by those you employ here, but I know them to be just that… lies." He said as he looked back, "Mum, dad I sense I am needed at the castle. Can you keep them here so that I am not stopped?" he asked.
Dumbledore frowned at the boy called the two strangers mum and dad. Harry turned back after getting the answer he needed, moving past the two males and one female to head the way they had come from originally. The elderly male reached out to try and stop the boy, using not only a compulsion charm but also physical force. As he reached out to stop him, the elderly wizard found himself thrown to the side and unable to move. Albus Dumbldore was able to look over and saw the woman there with her hand out and a look of absolute rage on her beautiful features. He paled as he knew he had not a chance to stop any of them if they wanted to do whatever they wished. Harry looked down at the prone man on the ground before stepping past him; the other two teachers did not try and stop him at all. Harry then moved swiftly up the lawn and into the school, pausing long enough to close his eyes and let the force lead him to where he was needed. He moved swiftly through the halls and up a multitude of stairs, jumping across to the next landing when the stairs moved suddenly. The force was screaming at him to save whoever it was that needed saving, that if he did not then a loss would be great within the force. He nearly ran into a blond haired male as he turned a corner, sensing that the other was now following behind him, whether to stop him or in curiosity. Harry hurried up a twisting staircase and ended upon the roof of a tall tower. The other male nearly ran into his back when he stopped abruptly at the sight of a delicate looking girl there on the edge of the rooftop.
Harry made a small noise, making sure not to startle her but also letting her know she was not alone. The other male followed behind, then stopped even though Harry continued onward. The young man took in the girl that sat there, she turning to look at those that had come up on the roof. The light blond hair of the young woman blew away from her face in the wind; her silvery orbs were staring at him in shock and a little bit of fear. Harry could tell she had been crying and something about her screamed despair as she sat there, teetering on the edge that would lead to her death. He slowly approached her, hands up with his palms out in a way he would do so when approaching an injured animal. He sensed the other male there, but didn't hear him moving from his place by the door. It was almost as if he was guarding the door from anyone else coming up there. The closer he got to her the more he noticed. He could tell that her lip was split and her cheek was already showing a deep purple from what could have been a punch or a slap. He could feel his anger rising with the thought of anyone harming such a beautiful and delicate flower.
"I won't harm you," he said softly, keeping his voice gentle and soft, "Who was it that hurt you?' he asked.
The girl looked away from the mesmerizing green eyes and back over to the edge of the tower she sat upon, "I am not worth your anger" she whispered softly, almost too soft for anyone to hear.
Harry heard her though, his hearing much sharper than most, "You are worth more than just my anger," he said feeling an almost instant connection to her through the force, "let me help you…please?' he nearly pleaded with her, "killing yourself is not going to make it go away, or bring those that did this to you to justice."
The girl just shook her head as she sat there, "if you knew what happened, what I am you would let me just go. Let me find peace" she said softly.
Harry turned to look at the other male and moved to his side to speak to him, "do you know who she is?" he asked the other, making sure the girl was not about to jump or do anything.
The other nodded, "Her name is Luna Lovegood, she is a year younger than me and I am guessing you as well," he said, "She lost her father last year and has no other family that I know of."
Harry nodded his head as he watched her, "get her things. Something tells me if what I suspect happened to her gets out she will be shunned if not ostracized," he said, his voice taking on a tone of commander.
The other smirked suddenly, "If you take me with as well Harry Potter." He said suddenly.
"That name is dead to me, it is one I have not used in far too long." He said as he looked at the other male, eyes cold and hard and causing the other to shudder, "Why should I take you with me when I do not know you at all."
The other male shifted as the intense gaze bore into his very soul, "because I will be killed for helping you and her. Not to mention that I do not want to become a rapist and murderer that my father wants me to become."
"get her things and your things. Do not make it obvious that you are leaving. I will get you away from here. Whether or not you actually come with me to mine and my parents home is up to them as much as me. But we can at least take you away from this country." He said, "go now before it is too late to do so. If anyone asks you what you are doing, tell them you want to see the altercation happening outside with the headmaster of the school."
The other nodded and turned to leave; pausing long enough to tell his name, "I am Draco" he said then vanished back down the stairs. Harry watched the other a moment, and then turned to head back to where the girl was sitting. He reached out to gently take her hand into his own, sending the force to at least stabilize her injuries. He was not a healer so he could not really heal her wounds. She started suddenly, nearly falling but didn't due to Harry's hold on her hand.
"Why? Just let me go," she said as she looked at him, tears in her eyes.
Harry shook his head at this, "because you are worth more than any here." He told her gently, "I can take you away from this world, this planet to a place where you will flourish and grow." He told her as he watched her and could tell the force flowed through her, "You are special even among those that use the force Miss Luna."
Luna watched him and worried her bottom lip a moment before she spoke, a tiny drop of blood on the flushed flesh, "How…I…" she tried to pull her hand away, confused more than anything.
"I can explain after we leave. I really need to get you to our medical droid EM-3." He said, "You…I can tell you were hurt badly."
Luna tried to protest and suddenly felt her head spinning as her hand went to it, "I…I don't feel very good" she whispered softly.
Harry moved swiftly to lift her into his arms, gaining surprisingly no protest from the young woman he now held in his arms. He then saw it, the blood that had begun pooling where she had been sitting. He cursed in a multitude of languages then as he held her in one arm then the other removed his robe and wrapped her into it. Harry was not about to have anyone question him or try to take her away if they knew she was injured. Once she was secured he began the trek down to the expanse of grass where his parent's ship sat waiting for them. He did radio his mother to let her know he was on his way down with a severely injured female. He also warned them of another by the name of Draco that would leave the school grounds with them. He was nearly to the main doors when he was suddenly stopped by a man. Harry scowled at the other, nearly sending the man against the wall but then something told him to stop and wait.
"Where are you going with that girl?" the man demanded, a frown on his face as the teen looked familiar somehow, "Who are you?"
"Apprentice Solo-Fel" Harry said as he stood there, "if you do not mind, I need to get her to medical help…and now."
Severus frowned further but then looked at the girl and noticed she was pale and sweating, "The healer is a few floors up, we can take her there," he said.
"No offense to your healer, but I have means that are more advanced and I have a feeling she does not wish for her business to be told to the entire school." The other said, moving to step around, "If you are concerned for her health and safety then follow me if you must. But I will not be delayed any further."
Harry then stepped around the scowling potion's master. He needed to hurry as he noticed that Luna was taking a turn for the worse and if she developed an infection due to lack of care he was going to be quite upset. He heard the man hurrying after as he finally made it outside of the drafty castle. He could see his mother and father at a standoff against the headmaster and his people. The young jedi apprentice moved past the, ignoring the shouts for him to stop and instead he headed for the hidden ramp to the ship that was cloaked. Harry moved up the ramp and called out for the medical droid to meet him in the medical bay. He laid the girl down gently and stepped back as the droid began scanning and working on healing the young woman. Harry turned, reaching for a weapon he did not have on him as he heard a noise on the metal floor in the hall of the ship. He moved silently and saw the blond and the other man there and mentally groaned, especially seeing that his mother and father will probably have his head for inviting at least the other teen on board. Before he could say anything to the man and teen his father came rushing into the ship.
"Harrison, go and get the ship moving. The locals are in an uproar over the female you brought on board," he said, "We need to get out of range seeing as more of the adults were heading our way. Your mother is currently defending against the strange force ability they are using."
Harry frowned then looked to the two locals and barked out, "follow me, do not argue or fight me on this. You do then you will be kicked out while we are in flight." He said and rushed down the hall to the cockpit and hopped into the pilot's chair, "sit down" he said not sure if the pair followed him or not, but at the moment he didn't care.
Harry began flipping switches to fully bring the ship to life and was thankful that the ship was in standby over fully shut down. He began the take off procedure and heard his father and mother heading towards the cock pit. Harry closed the ramp and then took off towards the open space to figure out their next moves. He wasn't sure what to do with the other two males that were there, but for now they needed to regroup and figure out what is going to happen. Once the ship broke the atmosphere harry brought it to a high orbit to avoid any detection from the arcane satellites that were orbiting the planet. He put the ship into standby and then turned and saw his mother and father there looking at their passengers that tagged along.
"Harrison, care to explain what is going on here?" his father asked.
"Funny story that is," he said rubbing the back of his head as he watched his parents, "The boy wanted to come with, and the man… well he just followed me," he told them.
Severus fought the urge to roll his eyes, "I came aboard to make sure that Miss Lovegood was treated for what ever injuries she had gained." He said, "and seeing as I am a professor at Hogwarts I would be remiss if I allowed her to be taken by strangers."
Harry scowled at the other, "If you are a professor as you say you are, then explain how it was that I found her ready to take her own life because she had been beaten and most likely raped by students of your school…" he demanded, ignoring the gasps from the others there.
Severus paled at this, "Impossible…" he said, but somehow he knew it was all too true. After all the school did not really prevent students from having intercourse, nor did the school offer sex-education classes either. And many of the pure blood males preferred to use the muggle born or half bloods to sate their needs knowing that those particular girls would never tell for fear of what the pure bloods could do to their potential in the magical world. But for them to go after Miss Lovegood, meant the boys of the magical world found her no better than a muggle born. He sighed as he knew if she had been violated she would never be accepted in the magical world.
Jaina laid a hand onto her son's shoulder to calm him, focusing on the man and teen there, "As you are much aware, we are not from here. What is it you want to do? We can take you to another country if you are unable to return to your own," she offered.
Draco frowned and shook his head, "No matter where I go down there, my father will hunt me down and either kill me or force me to take the Dark Mark and become a Death Eater. I will not murder and rape for power."
Jagged heard this and frowned some, "Where we are going, it will be a change to what you are used to. You will have to learn technology that is far beyond what this planet can offer."
Draco felt a bit lost at this, but then squared his shoulders, "I will do what ever is needed to escape the fate that waits for me back there."
Jaina could see that he meant every word of it and then nodded her head and looked to the man, "You as well… what do you wish for us to do? Do you want to be taken back or to another country?"
Severus would not allow his godson to go off gallivanting around the universe by himself and decided that he did not have much of a life there on Earth, "I will go with you. Perhaps I can find new plants to experiment with on potions." He commented, more to himself than anyone else.
Jaina and Jagged exchanged a look then nodded, then Jag said, "Very well then. I will get you both settled in. We leave for our galaxy in a few hours" he led Draco and Severus from the cockpit.
Harry turned back to begin programming in the jump coordinates knowing it will be a few hours to reach the jump point, "I can feel you staring mother." He said softly.
Jaina sat in the copilot's chair next to him, "I support whatever it is you want to do, but are you certain with all of this?" she asked.
Harry sighed and looked over, pausing, "I am sure. The force guided me there. And even though I should have told both of them to go away and stay, I didn't. I think they will be a great asset for us and…and good friends too." He said, "I should check on Luna." He told her.
"Go on then. I love you," she told him as he left the cockpit and headed down to the medical bay.
Harry soon found out that the girl was in a medically induced coma to help her body heal, but she could not be put into the bacta tank due to the possibility she was carrying a child. Harry nodded and then helped secure her to the bed before heading off to grab a cup of Caff and then get moving towards the jump point. Harry just knew that things were going to change and fast, not just with the war, but with his family too. But for now he was going to focus on the here and now as he brought the ship about and once he reached the jump point near Saturn, he headed home.
