Leaning over the cockpit side, she read the report from R2 about their progress on getting communications back online. They just needed to bypass the circuit relays that had been damaged and it would be fixed, but it was proving to be tricky.
Letting her feet leave the wing, she leaned farther into the cockpit to connect a wire that had fallen loose. She muttered a soft curse to herself, this was the 4th time the wire had come loose. "R2, i need some wire tape for this connection. Send some up here, please!" The wire tape soared from R2 and landed in the seat where, without looking she grabbed it and started to tape the connection.
Hagrid came up silently to the edge of the clearing and the first thing he saw was a very shapely female bottom and impossibly long shapely legs. His mouth went dry as her legs kicked and she sunk lower into the opening of the strange craft parked there. His eyes took the strange craft in and then widened to twice their size when a moving trash bin came around the side of it on 3 wheeled legs. The female voice he had heard earlier talking to Harry drifted from the opening. "R2, try it now. There were two connections broken." The trash bin made some odd beeping sounds and a odd round rod came from a hidden opening and fitted in with the ship, turning the panel it fitted with.
After a few seconds a low curse was heard from the woman and a leg kicked in frustration. Hagrid took his eyes from the trash bin and looked back at the cute bottom. Suddenly she exclaimed loudly "WHAT?" and her body become visible as she moved to look in his direction. Her startled eyes came in contact with his .
She groaned and her head fell back into the cockpit "Oh no...." She raised herself out of the Y-wing and hopped lightly from the wing to the ground. "Hello again." Hagrid stared at the lovely woman before him. "Hello" She smiled a bit sadly "Ummm, I guess you found me." Hagrid nodded to her and looked at the trash bin again. "What is that?"
Jenna smiled at R2 and then to Hagrid "That is my droid. He is R2 D2. I just call him R2. He has been in the family for years. He belonged to my grandfather on my mother's side."
Hagrid nodded, not understanding about a droid, but knowing about families. "Professor Dumbledore would like to meet with you." Jenna turned her head to look at the large man standing with her in the clearing. She studied him for a second, wondering if he could be trusted. Finally she nods "Fine, I will go and meet this Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid nods, happy this is turning out easier then he thought it would.
Jenna turns to the Y-wing and jumps up onto the wing again, leaning into the cockpit for her lightsaber and cloak. The lightsaber going into it's hidden pocket within the cloak. She pulls it on as she turns to look at him "I am ready." She lightly jumps from the wing again and stops before R2. "R2, keep working on the communications. We must get that up and running." R2 gives an affirmative beep and moves back to the other side of the ship. She turns and follows Hagrid into the forest, following him silently, her eyes taking in his wide shoulders and long hair. She smiles to herself, she has always liked longer hair, like her father. Her Uncle Luke wore his short as her father's was always longer. She was a tiny woman and if she was to ever have a husband, a man of Hagrid's size was what she had always envisioned.
Shaking her head to dispell the thoughts as they came up to the castle, she sighed. She was a Jedi Master, and it was not for her to have a husband. No matter that Hagrid had caught her eye....
As they approached the castle, Jenna turned to look up at Hagrid "What is the name and purpose of this building, Hagrid?" she asked.
Hagrid looked down at the upturned, pixish face of the lovely young woman with a smile. His voice was filled with pride as he looked towards the majestic castle, the towering spires and flying butresses. "This is Hogwarts. School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. Professor Dumbledore is the headmaster. He is the one who is wanting to see ya."
Jenna smiled to him for his explanation. "It is magnificent. I take it that you get many visitors. It is truely awesome." She looked back to the castle and in her mind this is how the castle her mother had grown up looked like. She had never seen the castle on Alderon, her grandfather had destroyed that world years before she was born. Her mother had told her stories of it and had found a painting of it on some outer world and this resembled it a great deal.
Hagrid smiled at her words and shook his head "No, except to other wizarding folk, this castle comes across as a large ruined castle. It's magically protected. I am not sure how you are able to see it though. You are not a witch are you?"
Jenna shook her head. "No, I am a Jedi though. That might have something to do with it. Those of the Jedi order are more in tune with the force then those who aren't, except Sith lords, they are our equal...." she frowned as she thought of the Sith Lord that she had followed to this sector. She was sure he was here on this planet, but kept that to herself. She really needed to get that communication up.
As they entered the massive front doors of Hogwarts she stopped for a moment to admire the majestic entrance to the castle. Students in black robes, carrying books and bags roamed past. Few were engrossed in conversations amongst themselves, but many turned to look at the stranger with Hagrid. The delicacy of her face had many of the boys staring open mouthed. Her apparant youth had them wondering if she was a 7th year from another wizarding school, or if she was a recent graduate.
Down the corridore, Harry, Ron and Hermione were walking on their way outside, on their way to Herbology in Greenroom 3. Harry looked up right at the moment that Jenna turned to look in his direction and he gave a smile. Ron and Hermione turned to see who Harry was smiling at and Ron muttered "Who is that?" Hermione frowned darkly at Ron and Harry. "If they want us to know, they will tell us later..." her voice faded off as they came up to Hagrid and Jenna.
Jenna smiled at Harry. "Hello again, Harry Potter. I trust you are well?" Harry blushed to his roots and nodded "Just fine, Jenna Skywalker. These are my best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." Ron and Hermione both nodded and said hello before Hagrid broke in with a small scowl. "Sorry to bust this up, but you three have class and Jenna and I need to be going." He cupped Jenna's elbow and lead her off in the direction of Dumbledore's office. Jenna turned her head to say good-bye to Harry and his friends, but was surprised by the shocked look they were giving Hagrid and didn't say anything.
Harry pushed the heavy door open. "That was weird. It was like he didn't want us to talk to her. I mean, I had met her before, but that was very odd for Hagrid." Ron and Hermione both stopped and gave him a shocked look "You have met her before?" Harry nodded and told them the whole story of how they met on their way to Herbology. Hermoine remained silent through the story, half listening, still puzzling over Hagrid's reaction to their talking to her. Before opening the door to Greenhouse 3, she realized what he was acting like and muttered to her friends "It was almost like he was jealous." The looks on Ron and Harry's face told her that they agreed with her.
They came to a large bird statue. The wings of the statue were up as if the bird was about to take off. "Gumdrop" Hagrid said and the statue began to spin to the left, showing a staircase. Hagrid stepped onto the 3rd stair and Jenna followed him onto and stood on the 5th stair. She looked up to him with a slight frown "Are you ok Hagrid?" Hagrid nodded and with quick thinking said "They would have been late to class and Professor Dumbledore is anxious to see us." Jenna nodded, knowing it wasn't the whole truth, but remained silent. The staircase stopped rising and they stood before a wooden door. Hagrid knocked on it and heard "Enter" from within.
Jenna followed Hagrid in. His size hid the Headmaster from her view for a moment and then he stepped aside. A warmly lit room with books and a large desk came into view. An old man with a long white beard and hair stepped from around the desk and approached. She studied the man, Dumbledore she assumed. His eyes were guarded, but laugh lines around his eyes and mouth showed that he was usually jovial. Hagrid introduced them and Dumbledore observed the calm young woman before him. She wore black slacks and a white shirt. Her long black hair was pulled back from her face in two braids on each side and tied in the back. A black cloak hung from her shoulders. He noticed her facial features were very delicate and he realized that you put this woman in a gown and she would be an enchanting creature. He looked to Hagrid, who was staring at Jenna also in the soft light and realized that his groundskeeper felt the same way. He inwardly hopped that she was everything that she appeared to be. Hagrid needed some good things to happen in his life.
Finally Dumbledore held a hand out to Jenna. "Call me Albus. Have a seat, young lady." Jenna smiled, but wondered why everyone always thought she was young or in need of protection. She followed his directions and sat in one of the wing back chairs before the desk. Albus directed Hagrid into the other one and sat back in his seat. "So, Jenna. Tell me what brings you to Hogwarts?"
Jenna sat silently for a moment, judging the character of these men and then took a deep breathe and began....
Letting her feet leave the wing, she leaned farther into the cockpit to connect a wire that had fallen loose. She muttered a soft curse to herself, this was the 4th time the wire had come loose.
