Master Potter and the Renewal of the Jedi

By TeraWatt

Chapter 01

Master Potter strode through the Jedi Temple with a determined look on his haunted face. It seemed that no matter what great building he considered home, it would, at some point, find itself and a good portion of the residents, under attack and be the location of a slaughter. He was making his way to the archives to take what remained in the secure area; the holocrons and original manuscripts.

Harry was ever so grateful that when he died on Earth and woke up as a newborn Jedi initiate, he had retained all his magical skills and knowledge. Runes were even more powerful in this universe than in the last and with his new training, he found he needed no wand to perform magic of any kind.

Regrettably, his animagus form had to be retrained. It seemed that whilst it was possible to transform, his soul had a connection to a new form in this universe. His skills with Legilemency had definitely come in handy with all the varied languages and racial customs. And his masters had always been stumped at his "naturally occurring" mental shields.

Harry had grown up as a contemporary of Obi-wan Kenobi. Harry was polite to everyone he grew up with, but had a lot of trouble relating to children after being an adult for so long. Obi-wan was a special case to Harry. Obi-wan had decided one day that Harry was going to be his best friend and he wouldn't take no for an answer.

But that was in the past. And now, in the immediate aftermath of Operation Knightfall, Harry was left to complete his self-assigned contingency plan. Harry had once been astounded when he had discovered that the Jedi Archives held information that had been compiled over twenty-five thousand years. Personal accounts of Jedi, research on thousands of subjects on billions of worlds. And there was no back up. If the Temple was ever levelled, the treasure trove of knowledge from time even before the Republic would be lost forever – Harry had found a project.

Harry had, back on Earth, always carried a multi-compartment trunk on his person. He had, after many experiments, created it himself. It had an apartment, potions lab, study, infirmary and a storage room. It was only ever for emergencies and Harry hardly ever used it. However, he decided to build a new trunk. He constructed a truly enormous space in which to house his own copy of the archives. He had already collected a data cube, which had been corrupted data, and wiped it clean. He then took it apart and enchanted it to be self-sufficient for power and self-cooled. A data cube appears as a cube roughly ten centimetres on a side. They connect to cubes adjacent to them and on top of and below them much like a Lego brick. They are servers that are designed to be stacked in some sort of structure that won't overheat. Now, knowing the structure of the data cube, and where he had engraved the new enchantments, Harry conjured more of them; many, many more.

They were easy enough to connect with each other. Each cube was already designed to work in conjunction with the next and, once they were set up, they acted as one huge device with the storage capacity of them all.

By his eighth birthday, Harry had already copied all the data that was freely available to everyone. However, there were sections of the archives that were restricted to Knights and Masters. By the time he was eleven, Harry had hacked those as well. The only information Harry did not have access to were the holocrons and the original manuscripts that certainly predated the fall of Ossus.

But Harry didn't stop there with his new trunk. It became a hobby somewhat, to create the temple in its entirety inside his trunk. He had access to the schematics in the archives.

Harry had, in his past life, been restricted to what his own magical core could handle. But with his new Jedi training, drawing on the force to use magic became easier than breathing. The force is unlimited; there are no restrictions. Harry could never suffer from magical exhaustion again. Concentration and belief were all he needed, and whilst most Jedi were limited in both respects, Harry knew these feats were possible, so belief wasn't a problem, and his occlumency gave him a tremendous advantage to concentrating.

Harry had always impressed if not slightly disturbed his masters with his maturity. So when Harry informed the Council of his contingency plan for the archives at the beginning of the Clone Wars, he had received immediate permission for his plan should the worst happen. And happen it did.

Harry had not been present when the temple was sacked, it would have been different had he been there to take control of the wards he had installed. Now there were few Jedi left. Harry had rescued some fleeing Jedi and had made it to the temple in time to activate a freeze ward. All the temple wards drew directly from the force nexus the temple was built upon, so it was very powerful. Harry had then compelled all the clones he had come across to leave; thinking their mission complete.

He could not have saved everyone. But there were maybe fifty padawans and initiates who were hiding in their rooms that he took into his trunk. Thankfully, he managed to save Master Healer Bant Eerin who could attend to the few wounded Jedi Knights that still lived.

Harry took it upon himself to take all the bodies into his trunk. He would give them the honour of a proper pyre, as was the Jedi way. He activated the repelling wards. They compelled every non Jedi to stay away from the temple grounds. It took a week to remove everyone from the temple. He emptied the emergency coffers into his own anonymous accounts and went room to room, taking anything that could be of use, after all, it wasn't as if he didn't have the space.

He had recently, with the blessings of the survivors, created a new room in his trunk with the names of all the fallen Jedi and their lightsabres, assuming they had them. Harry began teaching the survivors how to conjure simple things like blocks of wood and carpentry tools so they could help.

Harry took all droids and placed them in the trunk temple to work. He took everything from the agricultural level and installed it in the corresponding level in the trunk. He took the starships and speeders as well as the entire armoury. The temples stores of crystals and medical supplies and simple things like beds and clothes.

Harry and Bant had agreed that it would be best to leave Coruscant for a new home so all the Jedi made one last trip through the original temple. Harry made copies of the Security holograms and put a virus into the original archives to destroy what remained.

As a final touch, before leaving, Harry recalibrated the 'Retreat' message the Clones had set up to direct any and all survivors to regroup on Dantooine at the Ruins of the Jedi Enclave.
