At first, everyone was uncomfortable with the actions of the Jedi students. Some thought that house rivalry should stay alive. One of these was Professor Severus Snape.

During Potions, around December, Neville messed up on a poison antidote. Professor Snape took 30 points off Gryffindor and gave Neville a detention.

"You will report to Mr. Filch at four PM today. No excuses." Snape said

Neville was too stunned to speak. In an instant, Draco, Harry, Hermione and Ron were beside him.

Draco was the first to speak: "Why are you always picking on Neville? If one of us Slytherins had melted our caldron, you would have been all concerned, but since it was Neville, YOU think it is all right to punish him!"

"Besides", Harry continued "Neville has a lesson at four o'clock. If you want to give him detention then, you will have to speak with Professor Kenobi."

Snape turned red. He shouted "Everyone out! I'm sick of you all!" The students quickly gathered their belongings and left.



Senda Kenobi was in her classroom with a probe. She leapt over the probe and deflected the blast with her lightsaber. She landed on the ground just as her door was flung open by Professor Snape.

"May I help you Severus? Or do you just want to watch me train?" Senda asked, unconcerned.

Professor Snape exploded " What have you done to these students, Professor Kenobi? They act like brainwashed drones. House rivalry keeps the students in line."

Senda's eyes flashed in anger. Her voice shook as she said, "Perhaps, Professor, you should realize that this "Rivalry" tears the students apart. If that continues, how will they stand against the Dark forces?" She brushed past Snape and went to the Quidditch field. When she got there, the students had assembled.

She looked at each student and made a decision.

"Today," She announced "you will begin work on your lightsabers. You may use any materials, but the focusing crystal must be without blemish. The color of your saber will be your choice."
