Year One, Chapter 2:
"Ben do you think we'll fit in here?" Natalie wearily asked the next morning. Anakin had gone to find them something to eat, thus leaving the twins alone for a few minutes.
"Sure we will, just as long as we do what grandpa told us. Plus we'll be together."
"But this place is so different from home."
"Sure it is. But grandpa said that the witch and wizards here are a lot like Jedi."
Natalie sighed. Something just didn't seem right to her. It almost felt as if she belonged in this world and not back home. She wasn't sure if she should talk to her brother about her feelings or not. She decided to just wait and see what happened over the course of the day.
Harry watched in awe as Diagon Alley opened before him. "Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry," Hagrid said before they sat off to buy all of Harry's supplies.
For the first few minutes, Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing. All around him existed real witches and wizards. Here was where he actually felt at home. Where he felt safe and included – never looked at as a freak like Dudley made him out to be at times.
They walked past shops full of quills, brooms, owls in cages and even bats. Hagrid pointed out what a few of them were for, yet Harry seemed to be mesmerized by it all.
"Hagrid how am I to pay for all the things that I need?" Harry asked after a few minutes, eventually coming to his senses.
"Well there's your money Harry," he said pointing to a building in front of them. "Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Well no safer place then perhaps Hogwarts."
When Harry, Hagrid and the goblin from Gringotts, named Griphook, arrived at Harry's vault – number 687, he couldn't believe what he saw on the inside. There were thousands and thousands of coins in the vault. Some were silver, some bronze, but most were gold. His parents had left him so much wizarding money!
Hagrid gathered some of the coins for Harry in a small pouch then they left to go to another vault – 713 - that Dumbledore needed something out of. Harry had asked what was in that vault, but Hagrid told him that it was Hogwarts business. And that was what Harry left it at.
"What do we have left to get?" Anakin asked.
"Just wands," Ben said, looking over their lists.
"Grandpa, why do we need a wand to help us do things that we could already do through the Force?" Natalie asked. The entire situation was really confusing to her and seemed to be much harder on her then it was on Ben.
"Because the Force isn't known to anyone on this planet. Just to you, me, and Ben." Anakin tried to explain to his granddaughter.
"I don't understand," she said looking down at the ground as they walked.
"You will soon. I promise. But here we are at Ollivander's," Anakin said turning and heading towards another shop.
As they were going into the shop, a boy about the twins' age was coming out. He had dark black hair and green eyes like she and Ben both had. He wore glasses and right above the rim of his glasses on his forehead was a lightning bolt scar.
Anakin knew exactly who this was. It was Harry Potter. Anakin and Luke had aided Dumbledore in the war against Voldemort about 10 years ago. He and Luke had met James and Lily Potter just before their death and knew about their son surviving the attack.
The wizarding world and the Jedi had long been allies, way back into the day when Yoda was a Padawan learner. And they had always helped each other out when needed. With the exception of when Anakin became Darth Vader and the Empire was around. But that was all in the past.
Natalie looked up and smiled slightly at the boy as he left the shop and they entered. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the scar on his forehead. Something about that scar bugged her. Something deep down in the Force. It was a feeling like she had felt that morning. She some how felt connected to him, as if she had known him before.
But when she entered the wand shop, she completely forgot that feeling. She may not understand why she needed a wand, but shopping for one could be fun! There were thousands of boxes in the little shop. And each held a wand.
Within no time Ben and Natalie both had their wands. Ben got an 11-inch willow dragon heartstring, while Natalie got a 10-inch holly with a unicorn hair. Even Anakin got one. He told Mr. Ollivander that he was getting a replacement one so that he wasn't asked any questions. Anakin's wand was a 13-inch oak with a unicorn hair core. He had decided her better get one just to be on the safe side. He knew a few spells, but not too many. His favorite one that he had quickly mastered, but only used on Earth, was the ability of Apparition. He had gained his license from the Ministry of Magic to do so when he and Luke had been aiding them.
After they left the wand shop, Anakin decided to surprise his grandchildren. He allowed them to each get a pet to take with them to Hogwarts. Ben decided on a brown owl that he named Twain while Natalie chose a black and white kitten that she named Dala.
"Why did you name your kitten Dala?" Anakin asked as they were heading back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"To be like me," Natalie answered with a smile. Anakin knew that she was referring to her middle name of Amidala.
Anakin smiled gently at his granddaughter. Each day she reminded him more and more of his beloved Padmé. Ben and Natalie both had their mother's emerald green eyes. But Ben had Luke's sandy blonde hair color, while Natalie had more red to her hair. Yet it was Natalie's personality that reminded him of Padmé so much.
Natalie's personality was that of her father's and grandmother's. She was the one that saw the good in everything and that never lost hope. Also she brought a smile to anyone who met her.
Ben on the other hand was more like Anakin then anyone in the family, even more so then Little Anakin was. Ben was a ferocious competitor in whatever he did. That was why Ben worried Anakin so much. He lust for winning could very well end up being his downfall.
"He killed my parents didn't he? The one who gave me this." Harry quietly asked. "You know Hagrid don't you?"
"First Harry know this. It is very important, Not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was this one wizard known as V…I can't say it…"
"Maybe if you wrote it down," Harry suggested.
"I can't spell it either. His name was Voldemort," Hagrid said in a hushed whisper.
"Voldemort?" Harry asked.
"Shh…shh," Hagrid said as he told Harry the story of his parents' murder by he-who-must-not-be-named. Harry listened in shock and horror, along with a bit of confusion. How could he have survived?
Bright and early the next morning there was a knock on the door. Anakin gripped his concealed lightsaber tightly under the robes he was wearing. All he knew was that they were supposed to have an escort to the train. Anakin still wasn't sure what a train even was!
Standing in the small hallway was a very large man with a bushy beard and bushy hair. "I'm Rubus Hagrid. I'm here to take you to the train."
Anakin nodded. "Give us a few minutes," he said shutting the door.
Hagrid agreed and said he would wait downstairs.
"Grandpa these clothes are funny looking," Natalie said when Anakin shut the door.
He turned to look at his grandchildren, who were dressed in what was referred to as muggle clothing. He knew that they had to blend in with the muggle society while they made their way to wherever they were going.
"You look fine Natalie. And so does Ben. But come on let's go."
AN: Reviews would be lovely =)
