Title: Of Wizards and Jedi
Summary:A rather angsty teenage story with both main characters, Harry and Jaina. Ever wondered what would happen if sixteen year-old twins Jaina and Jacen Solo, Tenel Ka, seventeen year-old Jagged Fel, fourteen year-old Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, and later, Kyp Durron, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade had a run in with Harry Potter and the gang from Hogwarts? Some interesting incidents are in order… MA-15 + just for some adult themes and coarse (teenage) language.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any other characters or incidents related to him. I also do not own Jaina, Jacen, Jag Fel, Anakin… and so on. JK Rowling and George Lucas own the sandbox, I'm merely having a play-date with them and have decided to stick my head in.
CHAPTER TWO:
WHEN A JEDI BRINGS OUT A LIGHTSABER, DUCK!
Jaina and Anakin paled. "Dad was really angry when you left, Jay," Jacen said. Jaina's face went hard. "It was his fault," she spat angrily. "He can't control everything I do! He's been happy enough to let you date Tenel for three years, Anakin and Tahiri for a year, but as soon as he thinks I'm doing something remotely normal for a sixteen year old he cracks a fit!"
She remembered Harry was there and put a dampener on her anger. "Don't mind me," she apologised softly and clammed up. Hedwig appeared at the window, battering it with her beak.
Harry jumped up and let her in, tearing the seal off the letter clutched in her claws. The snowy owl hopped onto the table and snatched up half a sausage. Jacen reached out slowly, a smile on his face. Hedwig cocked her head, considering it. Finally, she dropped the sausage and hopped over to Jacen. He scratched her behind the wings gently and she hooted happily.
Harry read the note quickly.
-Harry
Dumbledore already knows about these people, apparently. He's sending Tonks and Kingsley now. They'll be there in about an hour. Be ready.
-Remus
"Good," Tenel said appreciatively. Harry looked at her, surprised. "What?" he asked. "What's good?" "That we're coming with you now," she answered, confused. "How do you know that?" he demanded, positive the redhead couldn't see the letter from across the kitchen.
"You haven't got shields up and were broadcasting it," Tahiri said as if that explained everything. Harry shot her a confused look. "You're a Legilimens, aren't you?" he said accusingly. Tenel looked confused. "A legless what?" Jacen asked bemusedly. "A Legilimens! A mind reader!" Harry said, backing away. "Nooo," Anakin said, drawing out the word. "We're Jedi."
"Jedi," Harry said warily. "Like from Star Wars, right?" "What's Star Wars?" Tahiri asked curiously. Harry eyed her. "You must be from another galaxy if you've never heard of Star Wars," he said, only half joking.
Jaina lifted her head slightly. "Is there an open space I could use for a little while?" she asked quietly. Harry motioned to the backyard. "So what exactly are Jedi?" he asked as Jaina left the room, her lightsaber clutched in her hand. He didn't even notice that Jacen left as well.
Jaina ignited the lightsaber and spun to meet Jacen's blade as he swung it towards her. "Dad just doesn't like the fact that you're dating the son of Soontir Fel," he said. Jaina slashed diagonally, forcing Jacen back. "It's not up to him who I see," she said viciously, gritting her teeth as she drove down on her blade. Jacen leaned away.
"He just doesn't want you to get hurt." Jacen's words were soft. "'Just doesn't want me to get hurt'?" Jaina said, her voice rising. "That's a crock of bantha shit, Jacen. He's just pissed off that he can't control every single aspect of my life." Jacen brought his blade down and Jaina leapt back, whirling her blade up above her head and smashing it down upon Jacen's.
The bright green blade fell to the ground. Jaina deactivated her brother's blade with a flick of her wrist. Her eyes burned into his and his foot swept across the grass, whipping her legs out from underneath her. She cushioned her fall with the Force and threw her own lightsaber in an arc to land on the grass some distance away, deactivated. She twisted and launched a well-executed kick towards Jacen's knees. He slapped the blow away and spun into a crouch.
She rolled and rose swiftly. Jacen faced her. "I love Jag and he loves me." Her words were simple and filled with feeling. Jacen spun and attempted to land a blow but she evaded it easily, lunging into a back flip and landing lightly. "He's probably going mad now, Jaya," he said. "You parted on bad terms and they probably think we're dead." "I'm not going to fall for the guilt trip trick, Jacen. Dead?" she scoffed. "I doubt it."
He renewed his attack on her, throwing a flurry of punches aimed at her face, forcing her to move back. She gave a subtle shove with the Force and jumped at him, pinning him to the ground. She rolled off and gained her feet swiftly.
"I am going to go inside and see if they have finished the debate about what a Jedi is," she said softly. "Maybe they're having more luck than us."
Harry looked up as the twins came back in. Sweat was beading Jacen's forehead and Jaina's cheeks were slightly flushed. He turned back to Tahiri and Anakin who were having an argument about the morals of the Jedi Code. Tenel was sitting there, looking bored, and Jag was watching a spot on the wall intently. Jaina sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled at her slightly and shifted his focus to her.
"You're agitated," he murmured softly. She pinched him. "Now if you can tell me why I'm agitated, maybe I'll understand how you passed your flight tests,' she said into his neck. He kissed her ear spontaneously and murmured, "You seem to take good care of people dumber than you so I'm okay acting like an idiot for the moment."
She hit him lightly and there were two loud cracks. A pink-haired woman appeared, as did a tall, handsome man. "Tonks! Kingsley!" Harry exclaimed. The woman smiled. "And I presume these are the visitors Dumbledore mentioned?" she said. Harry nodded.
He named each in turn, gesturing to them. Tonks smiled politely. "Well, Harry, is your trunk packed?" Harry looked slightly sheepish. "Not yet," he said. Tonks grinned. "Well, let's go get it packed then!" she said brightly. She followed Harry up the stairs and they came down a few minutes later, lugging a large trunk between them.
"Let me help with that," Jaina offered and Harry and Tonks looked at her gratefully. She pointed a finger and flicked it upwards slightly. The trunk rose from between them and set itself down near the door. Harry looked at her open-mouthed and Tonks' eyes widened.
"Telekinesis," Jacen explained from the table, rising and offering Tenel a hand. Anakin helped Tahiri out of her chair and Jag pulled Jaina to her feet. Jaina focused her eyes on the trunk again and it rose.
"We had to come in a car," Kingsley said apologetically. "Dumbledore said that since the others couldn't fly brooms or Apparate, we had to do it Muggle style." Harry shrugged. "I don't care," he said. The nine of them crowded into the car, Jaina setting the trunk in the boot compartment and sitting down.
They made small talk for about half an hour before all fell silent. Jaina leant into Jag comfortably and he curled his arm around her. Tonks glanced into the backseat and saw the two of them, whispering to each other with slight smiles on their faces. Tenel's head was on Jacen's shoulder and Anakin's arm was around Tahiri's shoulders.
"So," Tonks said conversationally. "Where are you guys from?" "All over the place," Jacen said. "Coruscant, Tatooine, Yavin, Hapes, Dathomir, Corellia…" Tonks looked confused. "We're not from this galaxy," Tahiri said, noting her confusion. "Ah." Tonks looked even more confused.
"They're Jedi," Harry piped up. "What're Jedi?" Tonks asked. That started the whole lot of them up again. Jacen, Tenel, Anakin and Tahiri all started speaking at once and Jaina stifled a giggle. Jag grinned and covered her mouth with his hand.
They stopped on a street about half an hour later. A half an hour of listening to debates about what a Jedi really was. No one won. Kingsley jumped out with a grin on his face and opened the door for the teens. Jaina got out and stretched her long legs. Jag placed himself behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. She leant into him and grinned at Tenel.
The red-head grinned back at her. Tonks handed each of them a small piece of paper with the words The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix can be found at Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Jaina looked up and saw a house materialising between numbers eleven and thirteen.
They entered the house and the parchment disappeared. "Harry!" someone shouted from down the hall. "Is that you?" Harry remained silent for a moment. "Yes, Mrs Weasley," he called back. A short, stout, red-headed woman came rushing into the hall and stopped short when she saw the six Jedi. "Are these some friends, Harry dear?" she asked. "Uh, yeah," Harry said awkwardly. "This is Jag, Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, Tenel and Tahiri." He indicated each of them in turn.
Mrs. Weasley smiled welcomingly. "Welcome to Headquarters," she said. Jaina dipped her head in acknowledgement. "Thank you," she said, her voice pitched at a low, diplomatic tone like her mother had taught her. "Boys! Ginny! Hermione!" she called.
A tall, lanky boy with bright red hair, two identical, stockier but also tall boys also with red hair, a auburn haired girl and a brunette came rocketing down the stairs and into the hall. "Harry!" the brunette shouted and threw herself at him in a fierce hug. "Are you okay?" Harry allowed the girl to hug him. "I'm alright, 'Mione," he said. The lanky red-head clapped him on the shoulder. "Good to see you again so soon, mate!" he said.
The twins grinned cockily and eyed Jaina. "I don't believe Harry has introduced us," one said cheekily. Jag's hand tightened slightly on her shoulder. "This is Fred and that's George," Harry said, grinning at Jaina. "The other red-heads are Ron and Ginny and this is Hermione. This is Jaina. That's Jag, Jacen, Anakin, Tenel and Tahiri." George extended his hand and Jaina made to shake it. He brought it to his lips and kissed it. Jaina went slightly red and Jag's eyes narrowed visibly. Jaina took her hand back and slipped it into Jag's quickly.
"Come into the kitchen," Mrs. Weasley said, ushering them down the hall. "Professor Dumbledore is waiting." Jaina started at the sight of the wizard in the kitchen. The old man similarly started when he saw Jaina. Harry introduced them but no one seemed to have noticed the strange glances Dumbledore threw Jaina's way throughout the introductions.
"Harry," he said suddenly, after a terse silence. Harry looked up, startled. "Yes, Professor?" he said. "The members of the Order have renovated much of the house. I asked them to leave Sirius' bedroom alone as I guessed you would take that room but they've refurbished the bathrooms, the bedrooms, the living rooms, the kitchen and the basement has been turned into a room for the Order. Much of the fourth floor has become a games room for you teenagers."
Harry looked fairly happy at that news. Jaina swung her knapsack around to her front and rifled through. She withdrew a small device and fiddled with it for a moment under the table. Jag caught her eye for a moment before she looked away. She slipped it back into the bag. "Do you guys fancy a tour around the house?" Ron asked awkwardly. Harry nodded and rose. The six Jedi rose simultaneously and followed Ron, the twins, Ginny and Hermione out of the kitchen.
"There's something odd about that Jaina, Albus." Molly Weasley looked at Dumbledore piercingly. "I know, Molly," he said. "She's stuck in the middle of this mess with Voldemort now. The prophecy... It now refers to her." Molly let out a little gasp.
Ginny smiled at Tenel. "Do you guys go to school somewhere in America or Australia?" she asked. Tahiri looked confused. "What's school?" she asked bemusedly. Ginny looked surprised. "We go to an academy on Yavin," Tenel said. "Are you studying magic?" Hermione asked.
Jaina shook her head. "We're studying to be Jedi Knights," she said. "What are Jedi?" Ron asked. Hermione looked shocked. "Jedi?" she said incredulously. "As in the Force-wielding, lightsaber using…" Jaina nodded and eyed her curiously. "How do you know about Jedi?" "There's six movies about Jedi, called Star Wars," Hermione said. Jaina looked confused. "Movies about us? That's strange."
"There's Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker and his twin sister Leia, Han Solo…" Jaina's eyes went wide. "Mom and Dad and Uncle Luke in a movie?" Jacen said wonderingly. "You mean they're real?" Hermione said quietly. Anakin nodded. "Han and Leia Solo are our parents and Luke's our uncle."
"That is just too weird," Hermione said. Ron looked curious and the twins looked even more so. "What do Jedi do?" George asked. Jacen opened his mouth and Jaina sent a Force slap immediately. "Lots," Tahiri said, shooting Jaina a grin. Jacen rubbed at the back of his head, mumbling obscenities.
They entered a sparsely decorated bedroom. Tahiri suddenly lunged at Jaina and she flipped away instinctively. Ron gasped and Tahiri launched a high kick at Jaina's face. Jaina caught the younger girl's foot and twisted, forcing Tahiri to pull away.
The twins clapped enthusiastically. Ron looked dumbfounded. Harry grinned at Hermione, who was looking amazed. "Show us a real fight!" Ginny said excitedly.
Tenel whirled around abruptly and flew through the air to bring her leg across Jaina's shoulder blades. Jaina ducked before she made contact and rolled smoothly to her feet. She front-flipped towards Tenel, who leapt over her in a Force-assisted jump. Tenel grabbed at Jaina's right leg as she came to a halt and attempted to pull her off balance.
Jaina's left foot lashed out and caught Tenel in the knee. She buckled slightly but stayed on her feet as Jaina got up and pressed the attack. She threw a simultaneous right hook and left leg round-house, forcing Tenel to drop to the floor to avoid the blows. She had the red-head pinned to the ground a few seconds later.
"Can you bash someone up for us when we go back to school?" Ron said hopefully. Harry laughed. "What else do Jedi do?" Ginny asked. Jag motioned at a lamp on the bedside table and it rose, hovering over the table. Jaina and Tenel got up, brushing themselves off. They gave each other a grin and a pat on the back.
Tahiri made a shushing action and pointed a finger at Anakin. Anakin rose a few feet off the ground. "Tahiri!" he said, alarmed. She giggled and let him down. Ginny grinned. "What're lightsabers, 'Mione?" she asked. "Blades of energy that take the place of swords," Tenel supplied. Jacen pulled his out and ignited it. The bright green blade lit the room with an ethereal glow. "Wow." Ron sounded squeaky. "Kids!" Someone shouted out to them from the kitchen. "Dinner is ready!" "Let's go," Hermione said decidedly. "Before Ron explodes with excitement." Ron shot her a dirty look.
Dumbledore was gone when they got down and the table was full with dishes of food. The six Jedi looked at the food bemusedly. They had never seen anything on the table. "This is roast pork," Hermione said, gesturing at the dish of meat. "These are roast potatoes and carrots. They're Yorkshire puddings and the green and white things that look like trees are cauliflower and broccoli in cheese sauce." Mrs. Weasley handed them plates loaded with the food and Jaina looked suddenly alarmed. "What's the matter, dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked worriedly.
Jag took her plate from her and set it on the table with his own. Her eyes went distant. All of a sudden, a small creature burst from the roof and threw itself at Jaina. It knocked her to the floor and she tried to pry it off her neck, gasping for breath. Jag grabbed the creature's legs and pulled as hard as he could. The thing held on tighter than a leech.
Mrs. Weasley screamed for someone and Tonks materialised in front of the fridge. "Kreacher!" she shouted angrily. "Let her go!" The creature let go immediately. "Jaina!" Jag said worriedly as she sat up, gasping for breath. He drew her into a tight hug. She took a few deep breaths and buried her face in Jag's chest. Jacen knelt down beside his sister and glared venomously at the creature.
"Are you alright?" Hermione asked anxiously. Jaina nodded slightly, her face still in Jag's chest. Jag helped her to her feet. "Get out of the room, you filthy thing," Tonks said angrily to Kreacher. The thing threw Jaina a look full of hatred and scurried from the room.
Jag sat Jaina in her chair and handed her a glass of water from the table. There were purple bruising marks around her throat and she still rasped when she breathed. "Here, let me," Jag said softly. Jaina tilted her head back and Jag rested his hands on her neck. The bruises disappeared and she breathed experimentally.
"Thanks." "I'm terribly sorry about that," Tonks apologised profusely. "So sorry. He's not too right in the head, Kreacher isn't." Jaina managed a small smile as she drank some more water. "That's okay." Jag set her plate in front of her.
Hermione looked shaken. "There you are!" Ron said defiantly. "There's your proof that that elf is a nut! Trying to throttle someone!" Hermione nodded dumbly. "He has to go," Harry said decidedly. "Put him in St Mungo's or something," Fred offered.
Mrs. Weasley shot them a look before hurrying to Jaina. "Let me have a look at your throat, dear," she said worriedly. "I'm okay now," Jaina reassured her, baring her throat. "Jag got rid of the bruising." Molly looked confused.
"Don't ask, Mum," Ginny said, grinning. Mrs. Weasley sat down and they started to eat. Remus Lupin joined them and he seemed intrigued by the concept of their Jedi heritage. Harry was subdued through the meal and Jaina glanced at him curiously. Jag nudged her. What's the matter? he sent. She sent back the equivalent of a shrug and shook the nagging feeling off.
Once everyone had finished dinner, Harry went upstairs. Ron and Hermione followed him. Fred and George had engaged the other five Jedi in a conversation and Jaina slowly slipped out of the room after Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"They're strange, Harry," Hermione was saying quietly. "Different. I mean, telekinesis. Wizards can levitate things with wands and all but not without them. And the acrobatics they used before? It's not normal." Ron's excited voice broke in. "Imagine what would happen if we brought them to Hogwarts! The pranks…" he clapped gleefully.
"There's something… I can't explain it," Harry said despairingly. "Some connection with the dark-haired girl. Jaina." She followed them silently up the stairs and watched as they went into a room and shut the door behind them.
She waited a few moments before knocking on the door. "Yes?" Harry's voice called out. "Can I come in?" she said. "Uh, sure." She pushed the door open carefully and saw Harry sitting on the bed, Ron perched on his trunk and Hermione straddling the chair beside the desk. "Have a seat," Harry offered, flashing a small smile.
She returned the smile and sat cross-legged on the floor. Harry looked confused for a moment but brushed it off quickly. "Is there anything you wanted?" he asked. Jaina shook her head. "I wanted to ask you about something," she said. Harry motioned for her to go on. She shot a nervous glance at Ron and Hermione before speaking.
"Who and what is the Dark Lord? Voldemort or something. He keeps probing my mind."
Sorry about the short chapter but I couldn't do the last bit and then go on in the same chapter.
I shall post again soon. ; )
