Making Friends

.

"Welcome to Potter Manor, home to the Potters for generations!" Sirius said grandly as he flung open the front door to let them enter. The group following him looked round, craning their necks for a better view, then Hermione gasped as two cloaked figures, one taller than the other, appeared at the top of the stairs. For a long moment, no-one moved, then the smaller figure leapt into the air, somersaulting and landing on the bannister, balancing perfectly as he slid down. The speed of his passage blew his hood off his head and caused the three ponytails his long hair was tied in to blow backwards, then he pushed off as he reached the end, somersaulting again and landing in a perfect three-point crouch before straightening up with a grin.

"Show-off." Sirius laughed with a wide grin as he ignored Remus' mutter about him being a bad influence. "Alright, everyone line up! Lady Tano, if you'll join us?"

The remaining figure nodded and seemed to float down the stairs. Hermione squinted to see under the hood, but the figure was wearing a thin veil over her lower face, and Hermione was unable see anything other than the rippling fabric.

Somehow, though, she sensed that the person was somewhat amused by her efforts to peek.

Sirius finally stopped chivvying people into a line and began making introductions.

"These red-heads are the Weasley family. This is Molly and some of her children, Fred and George, I still can't tell them apart, Ron and Ginny. Arthur's at work and the other boys are at Hogwarts, except Bill, who's just started at… Gringotts?"

Molly nodded in confirmation.

"Next, we have Emma Granger and her daughter Hermione. Dan's at the dental practice, I'll drag him round later. Here we have Remus Lupin, stick-in-the-mud, all round straight guy… ooof!"

Remus removed his elbow from Sirius' stomach. "He already knows me, Padfoot."

"Yeah, but I couldn't resist." Sirius laughed. "Finally, three you haven't met before, but whom I thought might be helpful. My cousin, Andromeda Tonks, potion mistress, healer and in half a year a Hogwarts professor if all goes well, something about finishing her contract first. This gentleman is her husband Ted Tonks, a lawyer but not the slimy kind,"

Sirius paused as several people laughed, Ted being one of them.

"And their daughter, She-whose-first-name-must-not-be-said Tonks. Just Tonks, unless you want her to hex you."

Tonks gave Sirius a long glare and Hermione was not the only person whose eyes widened as Tonks' hair changed from dark pink to purple, then red.

"She has mood hair." Sirius added, then ducked as a hand lashed out. "Okay! Okay! Tonks is a Metamorphmagus. I'll explain later. Now, everyone, as many of you have undoubtably guessed, this handsome lad is none other than my most amazing and incredibly handsome godson, Harry Potter. Or, to give him his full name, Harry James Potter-Tano. And this is his mother, and the reason I had you swearing those binding oaths before we came, Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka, if you don't mind…?"

Ahsoka nodded and reached up, dropping the veil so it sat like a scarf and then lowering her hood. Harry looked up at her with a smile and she returned his smile with one of her own.

"You're the Sunset Lady!" Hermione exclaimed, her eyes so wide that several of the others were surprised that they hadn't fallen out. "And that means… you're the Dawn Boy!"

"So we heard." Ahsoka laughed. "My species are known as the Togruta."

"She's also a witch." Sirius said and Ahsoka pulled out her wand.

"Lumos."

The tip of the wand glowed brightly until Ahsoka ended the spell.

"As you can see, Ahsoka is what we wuld call a near-human. Her horns and montrals enhance her ability to sense others, plus they look really cool. If you see her holding a glowing sword, don't fire any spells at her. Trust me on that. Now, Harry, why not take the youngsters and Tonks and show them the gardens. We adults need to talk about a few things… what now, Moony?"

Remus fought down his laughter. "Sorry, but you? An adult?"

"Should have seen that coming." Sirius muttered as laughter rose around him.

.

"…and do you wear your hair like that because of Lady Tano?" Hermione finished her quick-fire questions. Harry laughed, especially since a few of the others were looking somewhat dazed.

"Alright, let's see. Coruscant, we don't know how mum got here, she's trained me in a few magical exercises but mainly in the Jedi way, Cornwall, four years, she taught me because I couldn't risk going to school and yes. I think that got them all."

"Bloody hell, mate." Ron breathed, impressed.

"Jedi way?" Ginny asked and Harry grinned mischeviously as he extended one hand. A moment later, Ginny found herself floating in the air.

"H… h… how…?"

"The Force." Harry said as he slowly turned, causing Ginny to orbit round them. "It surrounds us, permeates us, guides our actions and obeys our commands. If you can connect with it, you can use it to do amazing things."

Ginny touched down and she leapt forwards, tackling Harry as she hugged him. "That! Was! Incredible!"

"Telekinesis." Hermione breathed, causing the other Weasleys to look at her oddly. "What?"

"What's telekawhatsit?" Ron asked and Hermione exhaled sharply.

"Telekinesis. The ability to move something without touching it. Think a Wingardium Leviosa, but without using actual magic."

"Coool!" The twins whispered in unison, then an instant later, they were kneeling in front of a bemused Harry.

"Oh great and wonderous one," "Please teach us lowly mortals," "How to perform those incredible feats," "Such as moving people without needing magic," "And all those other cool things you can do."

Ginny marched up to stand between the twins and slapped them both lightly across the backs of their heads.

"Ow! What," "Was that for?"

"Being prats." Ginny snapped as the twins rose from their knees, then she turned to smile at Harry, who was using all his training to not laugh at them.

.

"…and then Remus and Sirius convinced us to move to Potter Manor and said they would help us with the magical world and its… occasionally stupid beliefs." Ahsoka finished.

"Stupid?" Molly queried, her voice showing that she was becoming rather annoyed.

"My species is as old as yours and has a culture just as rich, but the witches and wizards of your culture would look down on me simply because I was not human and have no desire to be." Ahsoka shrugged. "That I am faster, stronger and have more stamina than any wizard is beside the point. That my horns and montrails let me sense all around me with ease is of supreme unimportance to them. I find that belief to be stupid."

"She has a point." Remus shrugged and Molly paused. "Besides, she's the one who rescued Harry when the rest of the Wizarding World was content to make up stories about him and think it was all business as usual. No-one checked. Everyone just assumed that he was safe."

Sirius nodded as Emma looked at her fellow guest. "He's right, Molly."

"I think it's the magic." Sirius shrugged. "Magic can do loads and solve most things, so why bother thinking when you can just do magic?"

"Most powerful wizards don't have an ounce of logic." Remus added. "That's how we managed to sneak so much past the teachers when we were at school."

"But… but…" Molly tried to protest, only for Emma to shake her head.

"Molly, I may be 'just a muggle', but in this, I think that the mundane outlook is better. We have laws banning discrimination on things like gender or race. I've never told you this, but Dan and I generally see your world as old-fashioned, quaint and primitive."

Molly gaped in shock as Remus nodded. "As a wizard who has had quite a bit to do with the muggle world, I have to agree with Emma."

"But… what about the things we have? The Knight Bus…"

"An idea stolen from the muggles." Sirius interjected.

"The Floo system?"

"Good for a few people at a time, but largely useless for large numbers, say a couple of hundred at once." Remus noted.

"Portkeys?"

"Same problem."

"…Wizarding wireless?"

"Radio and television, which shows the pictures as well." Emma said.

"Wizarding photos." Molly said with a tone of finality.

"Silent and limited to maybe a dozen seconds before looping, muggles have films that last an hour or more." Emma countered.

"Like the film that James and Lily took us to see that one time." Remus smirked and Sirius' gaze defocused in memory, then he started to laugh.

"Ni!"

Remus dramatically flinched as Molly and Ahsoka looked on in confusion and Emma facepalmed.

"Ni! Ni, ni, ni, NI!"

"What's going on?" Molly asked and Emma sighed.

"Sirius is being one of the Knights who say Ni." Emma explained as Remus and Sirius both burst out laughing. "I guess that means that they'll be quoting from the film next. Dan's the same."

"Another reason I like him so much." Sirius laughed, then he looked round. "Lady Tano…"

"Ahsoka."

Sirius nodded at the the correction. "Ahsoka, although James and Lily had the mansion upgraded for electricity and phones, I think that you may want to get some new equipment. A new television and video player at the very least."

"I agree." Ahsoka said. "It will be interesting to see how the technology of this world compares to mine, and I would like to experiment with connecting my equipment to it. Maybe even linking magic to it. I wonder if we can run a power cable through the Rune Door…"

"Magic… and technology?" Molly breathed disbelievingly. "But the two don't work together!"

"That's… not entirely true." Remus said slowly. "You see, Lily discovered that only really powerful magic interferes with electricity, but such magic includes the wards that were placed at the schools…"

.

"Wow, this is cool." Ron breathed as they looked round the cave. "You really grew up here?"

"I did." Harry confirmed as he walked towards the door. "Come on, the beach is this way!"

The others followed him through the door-curtain and down the steps to the stony beach. Ron looked disappointed as he looked around. "When you said beach, I thought there'd be more sand."

"Whoooo!" Ginny shouted as she sprinted away from them, small stones skittering in her wake. "This place is amazing! Where does this lead?"

"Don't go that way." Harry quickly called. "The cave and cove are safe. Out there, not so much."

"Okay." Ginny chirped as she continued her explorations, briefly vanishing into a cave that Ahsoka had carved to hold a barbecue used in warm weather. "I like this place."

"Uncle Moony is buying the land around it for us so that we can keep it." Harry grinned. "He also said something about warding it, whatever that means."

"It's a type of fixed protective magic." Hermione explained. "Usually deployed via runic arrays, Wards can have a variety of effects. In the Wizarding World, the most common are muggle-repelling and disguising wards, designed to help in keeping the Muggle world and the Wizarding world separate."

"Which book was that from?" One of the twins teased and Hermione blushed.

"Mr. Lupin taught me to not simply quote from the books, but to think about what I read and put it in new ways." She said, looking down at her feet.

"Neat." The other twin breathed, impressed, then his eyes widened and he hit his twin on the shoulder, pointing at Harry…

…who was calmly sat cross-legged three feet above the ground!

"…bloody hell." Ron breathed, only to flinch as Ginny, who had run back from her explorations, slapped the back of his head. "What?"

"Language." Ginny scolded as Harry dropped to the ground, laughing at Ron's expression. "Was that the Force?"

"Floating meditation." Harry confirmed. "Hey, watch this!"

The children gaped as Harry sprinted off at a speed that none of them had believed was possible, then he ran straight up the cliff face, leaping off and bounding from one protruding rock to the next. Without slowing, he reversed course, adding spins and somersaults to his progress, then reversed course once again before sprinting almost straight down the cliff and pushing off, twisting through the air to land in a perfect three-point crouch.

"…bloody hell." All four Weasleys whispered in unison, causing both Tonks and Hermione to burst into giggles.

Harry strolled back to the six, grinning broadly, and Ginny sprinted up to him, grabbing his arm as she bounced up and down.

"Teach me, teachmeteachmeteachmepleeeeaaaaaasseee?"

Harry stopped and placed his hands on either side of her forehead, staring deeply into her eyes. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry."

Ginny's eyes filled with tears. "Why?"

"To learn the ways of the Jedi, you need to be able to use the Force. If you have a connection with the Force, I can't sense it. I'll ask mum to check, but I don't think you'll be able to become a Jedi. Sorry."

"What about me?" Ron asked as Ginny stepped back, fighting down tears. Harry placed his hands on Ron's head, then removed them with a sigh. "Sorry. Tonks?"

Tonks stepped forwards and let Harry place his hands on her head, then he stepped back with a frown. "I… can't tell with you. I don't think you have Force potential, but I'm not certain…"

"Probably because I'm a metamorphmagus." Tonks shrugged. "It screws up standard diagnostic spells somewhat fierce. Mum had to search out the special spells for me to get treatment whenever I got sick."

The twins looked at each other and stepped forwards, only for Harry to give them negatives as well, then he turned to face Hermione.

"May I…?"

"Sure, but I'm happy with just becoming a witch." Hermione shrugged. "I'm not sure that I could cope with becoming a Jedi too. Whatever that is."

By the time she had finished, Harry had placed his hands on her head. Suddenly, Hermione felt an odd tingling sensation and Harry's eyebrows rose.

"You have potential. Mum'll have to check, but you feel like you could become a Jedi too."

"…bloody hell." Ron sighed. "Ow! Ginny!"
