Chapter 2

3 years later, Earth time. 33 years later, Republic time. (A/N I put 33 because months on Earth
would equal years in SW universe)

Hogwarts

"Welcome back everyone for another year at Hogwarts." Professor Dumbledore's voice seemed to spread to even the furthers, "Now before the feast I have a few start of term notices I wish to inform you all of. Firstly the forbidden forest is as it's name suggests forbidden." His gazed around at the students in front of him, stopping sometimes on the troublemakers.

"Second we have two new teachers, the first most of you will know is Professor Lupin, who was here two years ago, is back to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, and before the rumours start, Yes he is a werewolf and we will be taking many precautions every full moon so none of you should worry.

"The other new teacher isn't here tonight but will be joining us tomorrow for the first classes, Professor Skywalker is teaching a new subject all together which will become a compulsorily subject for 5 years up. To fit it in Transfiguration and charms will be fitted into as one class instead of two. But I am not going to tell you what the classes will be about you have to find out for yourselves. Now enjoy your meals."

Dumbledore sat and the tables filled with food and everyone started their own conversations.

The next day, the 6th year students were sitting in class waiting for the new teacher to arrive. The Slytherins as always were ignoring the other houses except to throw an insult at them.

"Do you think it will be a guy or a girl?" Ron Weasley asked. "Oh I hope it's a woman. We have way to many male teachers in this school." Lavender Brown said. "Yeah that would be great but if it is they will most likely be like 60 like all the other teachers here!" Justin Flinch-Fletchley stated. "Yeah they never have young teachers here." Harry Potter joined in the conversation. But was watching the shadows to the front of the room. "What you looking at Harry?" Ron asked. "I think there is somethi."

Just then the door at the front of the classroom connecting to another room opened revealing someone in a swirling blue cloak that covered them head to toe with a hood covering their face. Three more people two in brown cloaks, one also in blue, followed the person.

The one first walked to the teachers desk and removed the cloak revealing a beautiful young woman with brown eyes and hair done up in a very elaborate style held up by gold rings. She had an dark purple over coat on that was open at the front revealing a long dress that was a shade lighter then the over coat. The dress fell to the floor and buckled on the ground around her. It was covered in embroidery and had long sleeves that almost covered her hands. She also had a gold necklace on that covered her neck in rings. (A/N think of the dress in AOTC where she meets Anakin and Obi-Wan again.)

"My name is Padmé Amidala Naberrie Skywalker." The teacher said turning around, "you can call me Padmé or Amidala, but I do not want you to call me professor Skywalker because I have never been a teacher before and I have always been given a title so for once I would appreciate it if you would use my given name. Now the Headmaster didn't tell you what this class was about did he?" the teacher looked around the room waiting for an answer.

After a minute Hermione Granger spoke up, "No he only said there was to be a new class and you were teaching it."

"Good well this course has never been taught anyway on this planet before because there was no one qualified. Now this class doesn't have an official name but you could call it. Alien studies for lack of a better name."

To say the class as shocked was an understatement, except for Hermione who thought the idea fascinating and Harry who was watch the shadows still and not listening properly.

Padmé saw that Harry wasn't concentrating and walked towards him, "And what is so interesting? Mr.?" "Potter." "Mr Potter. What are you looking at?" "There is someone in the shadows." He replied. "Very observant. Mr Potter. You can come out Obi-Wan. What house are you in Mr Potter?" "Gryffindor." "Well then 5 points to Gryffindor."

"Now I know this is a strange concept but I am not from this planet or even this galaxy." Padmé walked to the front of the class again. "I am from a planet about 568, 943, 000 light-years away from here. The planet is called Naboo and is apart of organization called the Republic. Here you will learn about the Republic and another organization called the Jedi Order. As well as the non-human races of my galaxy. Now the people behind me are here as my bodyguards but will be helping with teaching."

The four other in the room stepped closer to the class but only three removed their cloaks. The one in blue was a woman that could have been mistaken for Padmé if they were wearing the same cloths. She was in a long dress that was a little blue with her brown hair up in a style similar to Padmé's. "This is Sabe my Handmaiden from Naboo, she was trained to look venerable but really is a fully trained warrior."

The next was the person Harry had seen in the shadows, Obi-Wan, He was in a simple tunic and pants both in browns with brown boots and belt. There was a metal tube hanging of his belt. "This is Jedi Knight Obi-Wan, he is part of the organization that I mentioned before, as is Siri and Bant," Padmé said pointing to the last two.

Siri had blond hair that hung just below her shoulders and brown eyes. She was also dressed in a brown tunic and boots and had the cylinder hanging from her belt.

Bant still hadn't taken off the cloak so no one could see if her face. But by her height and what they could see of her build it was defiantly a female.

"Now as I was saying before we will also be teaching you about different species from our galaxy so today I thought we would let you have some fun and see how good your drawing skills are!" Padmé said handing out some parchment as she spoke. "Now I want you to draw what you think a amphibious human would look like! You have ten minutes to draw it then we will see who is the closest." She went back to the front of the room and started talking to the other adults. The students all exchanged bewildered looks at the strange request before trying to think of what to draw.

Ten minutes later Padmé collected the pictures and she looked though them with Bant who still hadn't taken off her cloak. They giggled at some but in the end took one of the pictures and showed it to the class.

"Ok this one is the closest we could find to what they really look like." The picture had a human body with the head of a goggle-eyed goldfish. The class laughed at the picture and Seamus Finnigan turned slightly red when he recognised it as his.

"Now you are probably wondering why we asked you to do this and why Bant still hasn't taken her cloak off! Right?" the class nodded.

"Well Bant isn't human she is in fact a species called Mon Calamari." Obi- Wan spoke this time. "They are a water dwelling race and so look very different to humans. Now we asked you to draw these so that you would know what to expect when she takes her hood off. If we hadn't done this at lest one of you would have. how would you put it?. Freaked out? When you saw her face. So she is going to take the cloak off now so you can see what she really looks like."

Bant stepped froward and took off her cloak. She had brown skin, no hair and large blue eyes on the sides of her head. She also had small whiskers coming out of her cheeks. She was wearing the same thing as Obi-Wan and Siri except they where light blue in colour. Her hands were webbed made for swimming, her skin also shone as if it were wet.

"Hello all," her voice had a wispy sound to it but had a gentleness to it I know that my appearance is very different from what you are use to but don't be afraid to ask me questions about my life and my culture. Also if you see me swimming and I go under water for a long time don't worry because my species can hold their breath for many hours before even starting to worry about drowning." She smiled at them then stepping back next to Obi-Wan who put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

How Siri stepped forward, "Ok we had another 20 minutes of class left so we will go through around the room could you please say your name and something you like to do when your not at school. OK we will start from the back left hand side." She said, "your left," she added as an after thought.

"My name is Lavender Brown and I like to go out with my out-of-school friends."

"I'm Parvati Patil and I like to go to parties."

This continued though the rows of students.

"Draco Malfoy, I play Quidditch on the family Quidditch pitch."

As it got closer to Harry he started to worry about what to say, he hated everything to do with his relatives.

"My names Hermione Granger, I read in my spare time and swim."

"Ron Weasley, I spend most of my time watching for my twin brothers to make sure they don't try any of their new pranks on me." Most of the class laughed at this statement.

Then it came to Harry, "Ok my name is Harry Potter and. well I don't do anything outside of school," well not that I'm going to tell you, he added to himself. Padmé opened her mouth to respond but the bell rang and Harry ran out of the room before she could stop him.
