Chapter Three: A Surprise

Author's Note: Characters may seem a malenky bit OOC. Appypolly loggies, my droogies. Your humble narrator claims artistic license. (That's Nadsat. Read A Clockwork Orange if You're Over 15.) In addition, sorry it took so long to update. Have fun and MTFBWY.
There was a long silence and then Blaise Zabini raised her hand. Professor Kenobi acknowledged her and Blaise asked
"What exactly is the Force?"
Professor Kenobi's answer was "The Force is an energy created by all living things. The Force binds the universe together and from it springs life. We have contact with the Force because of little creatures living in our blood called Midichlorians. These creatures live in symbiosis with us and the number a person has determines how string in the Force a person is." She paused then continued, "Now it is time for some practical training." Professor Kenobi knelt at the training box and took out silvery cylinders like her own. She passed them out. Then she took hers off her belt and pressed a button. A beam of concentrated blue light shot out about three feet.
This is a lightsaber, the traditional weapon of a Jedi. The ones you have are training sabers. You may keep these until you build your own later in the training. Press the button on the side to turn them on." Everyone did so and white light formed the blades. The students started swinging them around. Pansy accidentally swung her blade too far and hit Goyle on the arm.
"OWWWWWWW!" he bellowed, clutching his arm where it had been hit.
Professor Kenobi looked up and said, "Now you see why you are working with training sabers. If you had a real lightsaber, then Gregory would no longer have his arm. Watch."
Professor Kenobi took out a 2-foot metal rod and threw it up in the air. She waited a few seconds, and then ignited her lightsaber. It flew through the air and the rod fell to the ground in eight pieces.
"Now you are each going to work with a training probe." Professor Kenobi said "Just try to deflect the blasts for now."
As they were working, Hermione was knocked down by a blast from her probe. Pansy laughed at her and said
"Look at that know-it-all Gryffindor Mudblood! She can't do this right!"
Draco rolled his eyes and said "Aw Pansy, Just lay off! What's the point of calling Granger that anyway?" he walked over to Hermione and offered her a hand up.
Hermione looked suspicious and asked "Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden, Malfoy?"
Draco looked away and answered, "I did some thinking over the summer and I realized what a prat I've been these past four years." Addressing everyone, he said, "I'm sorry. I have been a complete jerk since the beginning of first year. I want to somehow make amends."
Hermione looked up at Draco and said, "I accept your apology. Now will you help me up?" he was about to, when Harry and Ron stepped in front of him.
Harry said, "First show us your arm. We want to make sure you're sincere." Ron nodded in agreement so Draco pushed up his sleeve and showed them that his arm was free of the Dark mark.
"Look, no mark. I can't do everything my father does, can I?" He said.
Ron grinned and responded "Guess not.", So Draco went over and helped Hermione up.
Professor Kenobi strode over and asked "Is there something wrong?"
Ginny said, "No, actually something was just resolved."
