Chapter Two: Lightsabers?
"I'm bringing my lightsaber to work on Monday."
"What's a litesaver?" Ron had asked, puzzled. He had heard Hermione's father talking about it to her mother as they were leaving Hermione's house.
Incredulously, Hermione's father had yelled, "YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF A LIGHTSABER!?!?! MY BOY, THE FORCE MUST NOT BE WITH YOU!!!"
Ron's dad thought that Hermione's dad was stark raving nutters. Arthur Weasley saying someone was crazy? Now that's saying something.
Mr. Granger ranted on. "You are not leaving until you learn what a lightsaber is. We're watching a movie." He popped a DVD of Star Wars into the player.
Mr. Weasley marveled at the muggle device. "Clever, those Muggles are..."
Then a battling Luke and Darth Vader jumped onto the screen.
"Shong! Shing shonkg! Fwoosh!"
"See those light sticks? They're LIGHTSABERS!"
"Muggle dueling I see?" Ron's dad inquired.
"Well, we have to go now." Hermione said, embarrassed by her dad, a rabid Star Wars fan.
"Goodbye," they said to Mr. and Mrs. Granger.
"BYE!! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!" Mr. Granger yelled.
"What's the Force?" Ron asked Hermione before Flooing to the Burrow.
Hermione sighed.
"It doesn't matter," she said, while picking up a handful of Floo powder. "The Burrow!"
A/N: Heeeheeee...Star Wars. Me like! Now reeeevieeeeewwwww! And may the Force be with you!
