xXx Story xXx
"HARRY! GET BACK HERE!" Ahsoka screamed at the top of her lungs at the young man who had just vaulted down the side of the Pyramid like a gazelle. Sighing when she realized it was a futile effort, she began running after him, fortunately she was larger, and lither than he was, and thus able to catch up to him long before he made it to the ground, she rounded on him and made him catch himself short. Placing her hands on her hips she said "Just what did you think you were doing young man? You didn't even cloak yourself."
Harry got a chagrined look on his face and said "Sorry Mum."
"And what have I told you, when we are out in public, your to call me Master as befits our relationship in public. Understand?" Ahsoka said with a fierce scowl on her face.
"Yes, Master." Harry said with a grimace.
"Good, now get yourself cloaked, and let's get to the Ship. We need to meet your Uncle Sirius in London in an hour." Ahsoka said, as she too cloaked herself, she was still cursing the fact that it was impossible to create a new entrance to Mortis without destroying the entire planet.
Harry cloaked himself and began following his adoptive mum down the rest of the way to the space ship.
xXxXxXx
An hour later on Charring Cross Road, Ahsoka and Harry were flagged down by Sirius. "Ahsoka Tano, and Harry Potter, may I have the pleasure of introducing you to my good friend and pranking partner, Remus John Lupin."
Ahsoka lifted her hand and Remus as was expected, brought her hand up to his lips and kissed her knuckles. "A pleasure,"
"You're Moony?" Harry asked.
"Er… yes, I did go by that name at school, much to my eternal discomfort." Remus said.
"Why? I think it's a charming name." Ahsoka said.
"Why don't we take this inside the Leaky Cauldron instead of talking about it out in the middle of Muggle London," Sirius said.
Ahsoka and Harry just shrugged. Remus whimpered and the four of them walked into the Leaky Cauldron and got a table off in a corner. Once their breakfasts had been served and paid for Sirius broached the subject "Ahsoka dear, the thing is, Remus has a condition that manifests only on the night of the full moon. There is no cure, and it is a condition that can infect humans."
"So I would probably be safe from it." Ahsoka mused.
Sirius grunted in a non-committal way; however Remus had a queer look on his face and asked "What do you mean? You look human enough."
"Oh, my appearance today is merely an illusion. I borrowed this appearance from some random muggle in Egypt about a year ago. In fact Sirius coined a nickname for me, 'the body-snatcher', catchy isn't it?" Ahsoka said with a bit of a laugh. "Harry will be able to do the same thing in a few more years."
Remus laughed a shaky laugh and said "So then, what do you really look like?"
Ahsoka looked at Harry, who shrugged, then at Sirius who gave a nod. "Like this," She said as she allowed the illusion to dissipate.
"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" Remus practically screamed, causing several of the patrons to look over at them, turn around, and then do a spit take when they noticed what had caused Remus to scream.
"Yeah, that was about the same reaction Peter Pettigrew had. Do I really look that much like a Devil?" Ahsoka asked with a hurt voice.
"No Ahsoka, you don't. Though if I might caution you, keep up the human charade. The Purebloods in the Wizarding World tend to be a bit biased regarding species that aren't human." Sirius said.
"Sorry Sirius, but I can only keep the pretense up for so long before I revert to my natural appearance. While I am at Hogwarts it will just be easier for me to maintain my natural form. But, if anyone has a problem with my appearance, they can always come and talk to me about it. If they are pleasant, we can probably deal with the issue. If not…" Ahsoka lifted her hand to place a small metal shaft on the table, "Need I remind you I still carry these around."
"But Ahsoka, technology won't work at Hogwarts, too much magical interference." Sirius tried to explain.
"Sirius, please, think before you talk. You saw these working just fine in Mortis. If they work there, I highly doubt there will be a problem with them at Hogwarts. Mortis is about as 'magical' as you can get, period." Ahsoka cautioned.
"But, the Purebloods will try to deny you a wand if you go around looking like that." Remus said.
This time it was Harry who spoke, "Like Master needs a wand."
Remus gaped at Harry before turning to Sirius and saying "Did Harry just call her his Master?"
"Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you about that, Harry is the Padawan Learner under Ahsoka. As I understand it, it is a term denoting respect for the Padawan Learner to refer to their teacher as Master, though Gringotts and I set it up so that she is also his adoptive Mother as well, with me still as his Godfather. It's just easier for everyone that way." Sirius explained.
"I see." Remus said turning back to Ahsoka, "For the ease of my sanity, can Harry just call you Mum? It would be more socially acceptable to people in our world… Or at least it would be in the Muggle World. Not sure how the Pureblood Block would take having the last remaining Heir to a Pureblood Family being the adopted son of a… what exactly are you anyways? I specialize in Magical Creatures, and Dark Creatures, and I have never seen your particular species or race before."
"There are two possible explanations for that. First, my species is not native to this planet. Second, there is a very good chance that with the exception of me, my species is extinct. At least, I haven't heard any comm chatter from the general vicinity of Shili, my planet, that doesn't mean there aren't any survivors, though, they might just have devolved from the position of intergalactic travel that they once held." Ahsoka said.
"Alien… you're an Alien? I thought Aliens were a myth. Something the Muggles came up with." Remus said.
"Oh I assure you, we do exist. Unlike me, most of the Aliens in this time period are apparently rather hostile and xenophobic species for some dumb reason. Might have been that one too many Sith rose to prominence in the Galaxy over the years, but as I never had the opportunity to go and ask anyone about it, I can't really say." Ahsoka said. Then she thought for a moment and said "Anyways, Harry needs to get his School Supplies, and I need to visit the bank and inquire about getting my Republic Credits converted into Wizarding Money if I am going to function here."
"Did you bring them?" Sirius asked
"I brought enough to wet their appetite." Ahsoka said with a grin, "Two of each type. Should get their interest"
"Very well, let's get this show on the road, to the BANK!" Sirius exclaimed.
xXxXxXx
After a short walk down the Wizarding street also known as "Diagon Alley," something that made young Harry laugh when he first heard the name and resulted in him refusing to stop calling it "Diagonally" for a full week, the group finally arrived at the big tall marble building known as "Gringotts Wizarding Bank."
After getting inside the main doors, Sirius pointed out the special poem printed on the second set of doors for both Harry and Ahsoka to read.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Ahsoka hummed and said "Let's see." She then infused both her Lekku's and Montral's with the Force and activated a massive scan of echo location.
"Wow. This place is absolutely massive. There are subterranean structures under this bank that cover the vast majority of the city of London and even the surrounding countryside. There also appear to be several rather large creatures that on at least a rudimentary level resemble a Krayt… and I have absolutely no wish to run into anything that massive anytime soon." Ahsoka said to Sirius, Remus and Harry.
"Ah, those would probably be the Guard Dragons near the High Security Vaults. We would actually have to go past one if we were going to the Black Family Vault." Sirius said.
"Of course there would be Dragons on this planet. Why ever did I think I could manage to live on a planet and avoid having to deal with Dragons?" Ahsoka griped.
Then the quartet moved into the bank proper. Sirius quickly guided them over to the shortest line. Once it was their turn, the creature that was tending the desk asked "What is your business? Make it quick."
Ahsoka and Harry both made funny faces while Sirius said "We are here to inquire about young Harry Potter's trust fund, and also to inquire about setting up an account for a foreign acquaintance of mine."
"And does young Mr. Potter have his key?" the creature asked.
"About that, for some reason it seems to have been misplaced in the aftermath of the events surrounding his parent's deaths. I did return to their home afterwards in an attempt to locate that key, however it was not in its usual location. As Harry's Sworn Godfather I would like to request that a new key be issued and the re-forging of the lock on the trust vault to solve the problem of unauthorized accesses." Sirius said.
The creature frowned, and finally looked up from the ledger and then glanced at the ring on Sirius' finger. "Very well Lord Black, it shall be done. It will take about an hours-time. In the meantime, would the person who is inquiring about the creation of a new account please step forward."
Ahsoka stepped forward and nodded to the Goblin, who looked at her in a scrutinizing manner, before saying "Would you please follow me, Miss?" He did not indicate that any of the others should follow. Sirius was a little concerned about this, but Ahsoka had made it abundantly clear that she could easily take care of herself against even the likes of Lord Voldemort. Whether the same would hold true regarding a Goblin was questionable, but he had seen that glowing sword of energy she had, he wasn't going to count her out in any fight against the Goblin weaponry.
Ahsoka followed the creature to a small chamber, and as she entered the chamber she felt a cool sensation wash over her, when she looked up she could see that the creature was flanked by two additional creatures. These additional creatures were heavily armed and armored. Frowning, she cautiously moved her main hand towards where her lightsaber was located under her traveling cloak.
Teller Fiercehook couldn't understand why the Thief's Downfall hadn't worked on this woman. "This makes no sense. That potion should have dispelled any glamour's, or polyjuice potion you could be wearing, so why can I still not see your true appearance?"
Ahsoka blinked in understanding about what was going on, the creatures who ran the bank thought she was a Wizard or Witch who had been using a simple spell, potion or something similar to enter the bank anonymously and forge their identity. Realizing that it would be in her best interest to be honest with these Goblins she immediately dropped her illusion. "I apologize, I maintain that illusion so that my appearance does not unsettle those who may not be accustomed to someone who looks quite as exotic as I do."
The Goblin Teller blinked in surprise as he took in the real appearance of the woman. "Wow, I never expected this. The records of this bank are quite extensive and date back several hundred years. We have records of every single person who has ever been inside this bank or any of its foreign branches. Thus we have a record of all sentient magical species on the planet that survive to the modern day and a few which have died out. All tellers are expected to review these records as often as possible. And I can safely say that there is no record of a magical species that matches your appearance."
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm not actually magical?" Ahsoka said.
"No, not after that illusion stunt you pulled." The creature said with a feral grin.
Ahsoka sighed and said "That wasn't actually magic in the strictest sense. I merely manipulated an energy field that surrounds and infuses the entire galaxy to generate a specified effect. But only a very small handful of people alive today can actually do what I just did, and the Wizards and Witches of this world, generally speaking aren't among their number, with the exception of notable examples such as young Harry, and maybe one or two other people in his generation and a few of the older people in the Wizarding World."
The Goblin's grin got even wider as it said "Where in that explanation did you actually say that what you did actually wasn't something which if a Muggle saw it they wouldn't define it as magic?"
Ahsoka paused, thought about what the creature was saying, and then also got a grin on her face and said "You know what, you are absolutely right, it would be defined as magic by just about anyone who saw it on this planet, now wouldn't it."
The Goblin continued grinning while nodding and said "Now the way you have been talking, you make it sound as if you don't actually consider this planet to be YOUR planet. Why is that I wonder."
Ahsoka grimaced and said "That would probably be because I am not from this world, or heck even this century." And then buttoning down to explain where and when she was from to the Goblin, now that the guards had left, Ahsoka tried to get all the pressing details explained. When she finished she looked at the Goblin who had remained silent for the vast majority of her tale.
"So if I got that right, then you are displaced in time by a significant amount of eons. Everything you know and love is long dead, and not even your money has any value anymore? Well, let me see some of this money and I will see what Gringott's can do for you. Normally this is not a service Gringott's offers to the other magical species. However we have never encountered a case as extreme as yours seems to be." The Goblin, as he had indicated to her his species was called, said to her.
Ahsoka calmly withdrew several ingots of the Galactic Republic Credits and placed them on the table in front of the Goblin, who promptly picked one of them up and began examining it while muttering under his breath. He then stood up and walked over to a cabinet and withdrew a large piece of paper from it, and began examining that. He then looked back at the ingots in surprise.
He came back to the table and sat down. "Miss Tano, may I inquire how many of those fascinating objects you have in your possession?"
Ahsoka thought about it for a while, and then said "Roughly 2,000 of each of the five types."
The goblin got a contemplative look on his face as he systematically repeated the process for each of the four remaining types of ingot. When he was finished he looked up at Ahsoka and said in a rather resigned way "Miss Tano, Gringotts would most desperately desire for you to sell them all your ingots. Unfortunately for us to make that purchase, Gringotts would have to seize the combined wealth of every single Wizarding Nation in the world."
Ahsoka was floored by that statement, she knew that the Galactic Republic used a rather exotic series of metals to make the Galactic Republic Credits, but she didn't know they would be worth that much here on Earth. "Why, why would they be worth that much?" was all Ahsoka could manage.
"It's quite simple Miss Tano. Each of the five distinct types of precious metal in these ingots; is a completely unknown metal to this planet. No one on this planet has ever heard of them. Not even the Muggle Physicists who make it their business to study these kinds of things. And based on my readings, they could be worth even more than Mythril, which is the most valuable metal here on this planet." The Goblin explained.
"How… how much could I get for just those ten ingots then?" Ahsoka asked.
The Goblin contemplated the matter for a while and said, "I think we could set you up with a fortune to rival that of House Black, one of the richest families here in Wizarding Britain. And while we are at it, might I make a suggestion?"
"Yes, of course." Ahsoka said.
"Then take the time to buy yourself a Head of House Ring, and have an enchantment placed on it that gives you a permanent glamour, that way you don't have to constantly use the Force abilities you spoke of to mask your appearance. Plus, it would give you some legitimacy among the Pureblood Elite."
"Thank you, I will." Ahsoka said.
"Now then, here is a temporary account key. When next you return, if you have obtained your Head of House Ring, we can arrange it so that the vault is keyed to open only to a combination of the ring and a sample of your blood. That would I think, make it impossible for anyone to impersonate you, and thereby steal from you. In the meantime you will need about 1000 galleons to make the purchase of the ring with the glamour, so I will make the necessary arrangements to be delivered to you when you return from Harry's Vault. If that is all, then I suggest you return to your group."
Ahsoka rose and followed the Goblin back out into the main lobby to join her group of friends and family.
xXxXxXx
About an hour and twenty minutes after entering the bank, the quartet was making their way back out to the Alley. While they were inside they had decided that Sirius and Remus were going to go get Harry his books, while Ahsoka took Harry to get fitted for his robes, and to buy some robes for her so that she would fit in within the Wizarding World. She had practically been ordered to buy something modest before joining Harry at Hogwarts when Sirius had seen her wardrobe choices for the first time. While she absolutely adored the stuff Muggles wore, she felt that the stuff Sirius and the other Wizards wore would make even the staunchest traditionalist in the Jedi Order think the outfit was impractical, and she had only seen Lady Shaak Ti were robes even remotely close to being as voluminous as what these Witches were wearing. Honestly Ashoka felt the stuff that Ayla Secura, Padme, and yes even that bitch Asajj Ventress wore was more practical, not to mention stylish in the case of the two former.
So with a huge sense of resignedness, a once again illusioned Ahsoka calmly walked behind an excited Harry into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. As soon as they entered a rather dumpy older woman came up to them and said "Another for Hogwarts I assume? You're in luck, another young gentlemen is in getting his fitting now as well." And the Witch started guiding Harry off to be fitted on some stools that were set up in the back of the store.
While that was happening, Ahsoka went to look at some womens robes while also keeping an ear open to listen in on young Harry. This will be his first real interaction with the Wizarding World. Yes, she had taken him out into the Muggle World of Egypt several times when he was younger, and even flown him to other parts of the world so he could experience the varied cultures around the world. But this was the first time he would have to experience the Wizarding World.
xXxXxXx
"Hello, you off to Hogwarts as well?" the young blond boy asked.
Harry inclined his head and said "Yeah, I will be attending my first year there this September."
"Any idea what house you'll be in? My entire families been in Slytherin, so I suppose I will be as well, though we will only really know once we get there. Although I thnk I'd die of embarrassment if I was made a Hufflepuff." The Blond said.
Harry looked at the boy with a funny look and said "Why would you die of embarrassment just because you were placed in one dormitory instead of another? Personally I have no preference, and none of my family will think any less of me because I was placed in one house instead of another one, though I may be the butt of some jokes if I was put in Slytherin."
"Well, it's… it's cause Hufflepuff's are always dead last in every—EEP!" the dumpy looking witch who was working on their robes had made a slight gesture with her wand and caused one of the pins to prick into the blond boys skin.
Harry getting an idea what was going on said "You were a Hufflepuff weren't you Madame?"
"Yes, my dear, I was. And it was a very unkind thing what this young man was saying about my old house." The lady was saying.
Ahsoka was now coming over with a smug look on her face and said "All right you two that is enough of that, please allow the Madame to continue her work."
Blondy however got a disgusting look on his face and said "I don't take orders from you, you disgusting mudblood."
Ahsoka looked confused for a moment as she wracked her brain trying to remember the primer on Wizarding Etiquette that she had Sirius drill her with for the first three years of Harry's life. When she recalled what the name meant she got a furious look on her face and she said "What did you just call me young man?"
"You heard me you no good filth." The blond boy said with a look of supreme satisfaction on his face.
Harry looked at Ahsoka, than looked at the boy, and then to the Madame and said "I think you better finish him up and shoo him out of here before she hurts him."
Ahsoka heard Harry, contemplated his words, and then adopted a playful smirk; this actually caused Harry to panic… "Okay now I am begging you that he doesn't get finished up and just flees as fast as he can. Whatever she is planning, he will not enjoy it, even if the rest of us will."
Ahsoka laughed while raising her hand and promptly levitating the blond boy into the air and causing him to do a few summersaults in the air, she then promptly let him land sprawled out on his back. The boy looked up at here with something resembling fear and breathed out "Wandless Magic!" got up, and ran out of the store, clothes in disarray but otherwise unharmed.
Ahsoka burst out laughing. Harry however wasn't amused "MUM! DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!"
Ahsoka paused and looked down at Harry and said "Yes Harry. That young man used a word which is a derogatory way to refer to someone with no magical parents, which is exactly what your birth mother was. I do not take kindly to anyone who insults my family, even if it is my adopted family. That should for now at least temporarily remind him that even those without magical parents can be superior to him. And now that I have had a good look at him, he reminds me of another man I met many years ago, shortly after first finding you. That man was trying to kill you and Sirius. So I will be keeping a close eye on that young man when we get to Hogwarts."
When Madame Malkin heard the young woman say she too was going to Hogwarts, she eyed the woman critically, who was still wearing some of her muggle wear and said "You will also be in need of some robes then, up on the platform with you."
xXxXxXx
When Harry and Ahsoka regrouped with Sirius and Remus, the group decided it would be best if they went and got Harry's wand, Sirius begged off though so he could go buy Harry a birthday present. Ahsoka promised that she would be getting a birthday present for Harry later that day.
Remus, Harry, and Ahsoka made their way into Olivander's wand shop. The owner of the shop did not appear to be behind the desk, and Remus merely chuckled, however his chuckling suddenly stopped as Ahsoka suddenly whirled around bringing out that weird piece of technology she had shown the group back in the Leaky Cauldron, and suddenly her claims about being able to handle herself if the Purebloods got in a funk became all too clear to Remus.
Ahsoka had ignited her Lightsaber and was now holding it level with the throat of old Garrick Olivander, who looked like he was about to faint from shock. But it was Remus who broke the silence "NO, no bloody way. That's a Lightsaber. How did I not realize when I first saw the hilt, how on earth do you have a REAL lightsaber, who, or better yet, what are you?"
Ahsoka paused, contemplating this new information for a moment before she returned her attention back to the man who had snuck up on them and said "Do you make a habit of sneaking up on your customers like that Mr. Olivander?"
The man cautiously retreated a few steps before he replied and said "Only on the first year Hogwarts students. But I can see now that policy may need reviewing."
Ahsoka nodded and said "See to young Harry's wand, while I deal with our dear Remus." She then disengaged her Lightsaber and turned to Remus with a look of intense curiosity on her face, "Okay, how do you know what this weapon is called? I don't recall mentioning its name in front of you, nor do I expect Sirius ever made mention of it. And what do you mean about 'real' lightsaber?"
Remus looked exasperated when he said "About fourteen years ago, a man by the name of George Lucas released a movie by the name of Star Wars which has now been redubbed Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It told the story of a young man named Luke Skywalker, who was raised by his aunt and uncle. He and an eccentric old man named Obi Wan Kenobi went on a quest to rescue a princess by the name of Leia from a, for want of a better word, Dark Lord named Vader who had this giant ship that could blow up entire planets."
Ahsoka face palmed, "You're kidding, someone on your planet actually made a form of entertainment out of the events of the lives of people I knew who lived around 4 billion years ago. That is just not funny! I blame the Matriarch for this!"
Remus paused at her exclamation, before he suddenly burst out laughing.
A short time later the quartet were making their way back to the park where Harry and Ahsoka had parked their ship. Remus had wanted to see the ship that she traveled four billion years into the future in, and Sirius had agreed to join the two back in Mortis for the last few days before Hogwarts. Remus decided he would tag along just so he could see where Harry had been living for the past ten years.
It was a few days later that Ahsoka finally had her Head of House Tano family ring, and had it keyed to her vault in Gringotts. She had the glamour on it designed to give her the appearance of a 27 year old woman with long straight brown hair, and green eyes to match Harry's. She kept her facial features the same as they would be in her original form though.
xXxXxXx
Authors Note: I have up til now received at least one complaint and gripe about Ahsoka keeping the Old Republic Credits that she had on her ship. What you people aren't aware is that I have a relative who works as a Numismatist. Numismatics is the study and collection of currency. This usually takes the form of old and obsolete currency, such as the currency used by the Roman Empire, or the European Nations about 1000 years ago, or heck even the Confederate money. Some of these obsolete currencies actually hold a great deal of value today. Take for example the 1794 "Flowing Hair Dollar" that coin is worth 10,016,875 US Dollars at last check. So Ahsoka's Old Republic Credits being worth that kind of money is really not that unheard of, especially considering they are made with a metal not found on Earth.
