Yay! I finally updated! It's not a very long chapter but at least it's something.

Before they knew it, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were being whisked away to board the Millennium Falcon, their passage to Alderaan. They didn't even know what or where Alderaan was, except that it was a planet. Hermione felt uneasy as the group entered the hangar. She soon recognized the source of this uneasiness as they were greeted by a scruffy-looking man who had several weapons in his belt. Hermione could tell that he was some sort of scoundrel or smuggler.

"I'm Han Solo," he said. "Who are you?"

"I'm Harry. This is Ron and this is Hermione," Harry said. Ron said hi but Hermione just looked at him suspiciously.

"What a pile of junk!" Luke said, upon seeing the Millennium Falcon.

"I don't think it looks like a pile of junk," Ron said admiringly.

"Thanks for the compliment, kid, but you don't look like you've ever even seen a ship before. Anyway, I've made a couple of special modifications myself. It's the fastest ship out there."

Luke looked wary but didn't complain.

On the Millennium Falcon, the magical trio was strapping themselves in for takeoff. They were all very nervous, as they hadn't been into space before, let alone hyperspace. Actually, they were so uninformed about anything to do with space travel that they had no idea they were going into hyperspace to get to Alderaan.

Soon the ship was rising up off the dock, and as it ascended it rocked back and forth to avoid blaster fire from nearby Storm Troopers.

"Ummm…is that supposed to happen?" Ron asked nervously. He looked rather green.

Obi-Wan answered him. "Storm Troopers are firing at the ship."

The Millennium Falcon sped up for a while and then stilled as it left Tatooine's atmosphere. Whoa, I'm in space! I wonder what it's like to look down on a planet…

"I'm going to go look at the view," he said undoing his seat belt and standing up.

"Good idea," said Hermione, following him into the cockpit.

"Uhhh…Hermione?" Ron called after her. She did not answer, so Ron reluctantly followed her.

"Shouldn't you tell them that we're about to go into hyperspace?" Luke asked Obi-Wan once Ron had left.

"Han will tell them," Obi-Wan replied. "And if he doesn't, I'm sure it will amuse him quite a bit to see their reactions."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared out of the cockpit window at the view into space. They could see thousands of stars spread out in front of them and the yellowish round surface of Tatooine below them. They didn't even notice when Chewbacca growled and pushed some buttons.

"Hold on," said Han, fiddling with the controls of the ship. The stars seemed to stretch out in front of them, and Harry felt a feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach before the Millennium Falcon shot off faster than the speed of light.

Hermione barely managed to hold on to the wall as the jolt rocked the ship; Harry and Ron, however, screamed like little girls and clutched each other. Ron lost his balance and toppled over onto Harry.

"Geroff me!" Harry said in a muffled voice. Ron obliged and Harry stood up, rubbing his aching head. Hermione gave them a withering look, and Han and Chewbacca were laughing. (Harry had to admit, Chewbacca's barking laugh sounded very strange.) "You guys must not get out much," Han said once he had stopped laughing. "Maybe I should have told you to sit down…"

Okay. So that's it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it really makes me happy to read them. So make sure you review this chapter!

Oh, and before I forget, credit for the Harry-and-Ron-screaming-like-little-girls part goes to Danni Rand, it was her idea. So if you think it's funny, tell her about it. And also, if you think they were totally going out of character, it's not my fault!
