A/N- Thanks for all the kind reviews…now, as for the reason Neville came, I didn't get to that last chapter because it is sort of resolved here. I cover half the reason here. Now, I hope this chapter ends up being as humorous and plotful (I hereby decree this, a word!) as I want it to be. Okay, so, enjoy!

Chapter 4- The Birds, the Bees, and the Jedi

Harry was all but jumping up and down once the landing platform outside the senate building came into view. Looking down, the group could see Lorelei waiting to greet them, her now plain black robes billowing in the breeze of passing transports. The gangplank was not even fully lowered before Harry had launched himself out toward his sister.

"It's so great to see you, Lorelei!" Harry yelled, rushing to hug her.

Lorelei's arms locked behind her brother's back. It felt so great to hold her little brother in her arms again. But he had grown a few inches since she had last seen him. That had been at least two years ago, of course he had grown.

Surprisingly, Lorelei heard Harry sniffle into her hair. Was he crying? Merlin knows she was trying not to. But she had always thought her brother the stronger of the two of them; she had never heard him cry.

"I…I tried to get them to come get you," he whispered.

When he pulled back, his eyes were dry. Only his voice held the evidence to his tears.

"When I heard you were a slave…I wanted to come save you. They said…they said they couldn't let you leave yet."

Lorelei ran a hand through his hair.

"I've been alright. Now, come on. Let me introduce you to my friends," she said kindly.

"Lorelei," Harry said urgently, the tear-filled voice gone and replaced with worry as he, Lorelei, Neville, Anakin, and Kitster began to head inside. "I have to tell you and your friends something. Dumbledore said I should address it immediately."

"And it concerns all of us?" Lorelei asked, frowning at the concern in her baby brother's eyes.

Harry nodded.

"Okay," she said, ushering him inside.

…………………

Luke had watched the emotional display from just inside the senate building with a small smile. While Anakin and Kitster had been gone to retrieve Harry, Luke had been lucky enough not to get called off planet. This meant that he could spend some time with Lorelei, who was sparking his interest more and more with each passing day…hour…minute…second…moment. Just as she had sparked his interest, she had done likewise with his curiosity. However, she had had so many questions about what being a Jedi knight was like and what it entailed that he had had no time to inquire about her world. This didn't bother him. He knew now, from the bottom of his heart, that he would have time to ask those questions.

And when Lorelei hadn't been asking him questions these past few days, she was gushing about how wonderful it was going to be having her brother with her. She fancied herself her brother's protector, Luke had deduced. So, seeing the two reunited before him brought a great joy to his heart.

Once he had caught sight of the frown on Lorelei's face; however, he opened the doors and stuck his head outside.

"Is everything alright?" he asked.

"Fine, but Harry has something he thinks we should all hear," the young witch replied, meeting Luke at the door. "It sounds important."

"Oh, believe me," said the boy that had accompanied Harry, "it is."

Luke raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing. Instead, he placed a comforting hand on Lorelei's shoulder.

"I'll go gather everyone in Leia's conference room," he said.

…………………

As Lorelei entered the conference room, she released a small gasp. Luke hadn't been joking when he had said he would go gather "everyone." Leia, Lando, Han, Chewie, Anakin, Kitster, Luke, and even the two droids were there. Harry, dragging his trunk in with him for reasons thus unknown, entered and took a seat in one of the three chairs left vacant. Lorelei and Neville took the others. When all was settled, the door locked, and everyone introduced to one another, it was Leia who spoke first.

"Now, I don't mean to sound skeptical, but is this really news of life and death?" she said, looking across from where she sat to Harry.

"Yes…and more," Harry replied.

Luke leaned back in his chair. Folding his arms pensively in front of him, he stared at Harry.

"Well, don't keep us in suspense, kid," Lando said.

"Yes, Harry. What is this news? And what does it have to do with?" Lorelei asked.

Harry turned to his sister and sighed. "It has to do with you," he said.

Her expression never changed. Luke, however, lost his pensiveness. He leaned forward quickly and said, "What about Lorelei?"

The Boy Who Lived did not answer immediately. Instead, he exchanged a sorrowful glance with Neville, then turned and opened his trunk. From within, he pulled out a stone basin with some odd symbols carved around its edges. Runes.

"A pensieve," Lorelei said, more for the benefit of the non wizards in the room.

Now it was Neville's turn to take up the slow explanation. He turned to Lorelei with a slight smile on his face. One that held happiness…somewhere within it.

"Did I tell you I was dating Luna Lovegood?" he said as Harry set up the pensieve with its glowing silver contents on the table before the group.

"No, dear," she replied, recalling the slightly dazed young woman. "That's great, but…is now really the time to discuss this? And why the pensieve?"

"What is it?" Anakin asked.

"It's a pensieve. It allows a witch or wizard to take a memory and put it in here to be examined later," Harry explained.

"Memories?" Han asked.

Neville, Lorelei, and Harry nodded. Then, Neville continued.

"This pensieve was given to me last Christmas, another desperate attempt to help improve my memory. Well, one of the memories I have added is of mine and Luna's first date. You see, something unexpected happened on that date. My dear Luna discovered a talent she didn't know she had. Lorelei…Luna's a Seer."

Lorelei gasped. She glanced around the room, to see if the context of the conversation was being understood. It was. She turned back to Neville.

"Does she lose memory of her visions, like Trelawney does? Or does she remember?" she asked.

The others in the room appeared interested in this, but all were still wondering the same thing. What does this have to do with us? Or with Lorelei?

"She remembers. However, what she prophesied…Oh, Lorelei, I think you need to see it."

Neville withdrew his wand from within his robes. The entire audience leaned forward to see what was going to happen next. Neville tapped the pensieve and a small blob of the silver liquid rose and took the shape of a young girl with dishwater blonde hair and faraway eyes.

"Listen," Harry directed quietly.

The figure was rotating slowly. A few moments after it had arisen, it opened its mouth…and began to speak in a deep, gravelly voice.

"Combined will be the Force and the Magic upon the first spilling of the Blood. The Seed will be sowed, yet not planted. Consumed by the Dark or consumed by the Light, decided upon by the father's first sight…Combined will be…"

And thus the figure continued for at least two more times before Neville finally sent the image back into the pensieve. All was quiet for a moment, then…Han spoke.

"So? Do you know what it means?"

"Yes…oh, yes…we do," Harry said, now getting a little nervous as Neville began nodding fervently.

Harry's eyes rested on Luke for a moment before finally turning to Lorelei.

"Lorelei, Dumbledore said…said I should ask you some questions…to make sure the prophecy applied to you. But it has to apply to you…you're the only one…" he rambled nervously.

"'Combined with be the Force and the Magic…'" Lorelei repeated.

"Why does it mention the Force?" Luke asked.

"'Upon the first spilling of the Blood'" Lorelei continued.

Harry took a deep breath. "I have to ask, and I'm sorry that I have to in front of all these people, Lore, but we have to know…"

Lorelei stared at her brother. "What does it say 'the Blood'? The only time I've ever that is when someone is referring to my Blood Magic…" she asked.

"Lorelei, it is referring to that…in a way…" Neville said.

"Is it asking for her to be killed?" Kitster gasped.

"No…not that…Lorelei, I have to know…" Harry answered, appearing to be struggling for words.

"For the love of Merlin, Harry…what is it you have to know!" Lorelei asked.

"Have you ever…no, what I mean is…are you…Lorelei, what I mean to say is…" Harry stuttered. "Have you ever been with…you know, a man?"

Kitster let out a snort of laughter, but stifled it quickly. Leia raised an eyebrow as Lorelei's eyes widened.

"Are you trying to ask her if she is a virgin?" Leia blurted in astonishment.

Lorelei was sure her face was a deep crimson. Harry nodded, relief spreading into his eyes that he didn't have to voice the question himself.

"Harry, why…why are you asking me this?" Lorelei gasped.

"Just, please, one thing at a time. Are you or aren't you?"

Blushing even deeper, Lorelei whispered, "I am."

Glancing toward Luke, she noted that he looked somewhat sympathetic toward her circumstance. At least he wasn't laughing.

"Wait a minute…" Lando said suddenly. "'first spilling of the Blood…'"

"'Combined will be the Force and the Magic…'" Han said.

Lando and Han exchanged looks of understanding as Harry's and Neville's eyes grew hopeful that someone else could explain now. Then, the two old friend broke into peals of laughter.

"What? What is it?" Lorelei asked, fighting the urge to hide her face.

It took a few moments before, finally, Han regained himself. Staring at Harry first, he said, "Stop me if I get this wrong…but…" he turned his attention to Lorelei and then Luke, "I'm new to this prophecy business…but I do believe that it's saying…"

Lando was laughing even harder.

"I think it's saying that either…forgive me if I put this too bluntly…either Luke or this new Sith guy has to…bed you first," Han said.

Lorelei and Luke gasped. Both pairs of eyes flew to Harry.

"Is…is that really what is means?" Luke stammered.

"Close enough. To expand on the facts, if you…sleep with my sister first, then she will bare a child that will be an ultimate force of good, no matter if she conceives with you or not. However, it this new Sith we've been hearing about happens to…sleep with her first, the child with be the ultimate force of evil, same rules applying," Harry finished, a great sigh escaping.

Lando and Han were laughing again.

"Stop it, you two! This is serious!" Leia scolded, but even she looked like she was fighting a few giggles.

Anakin was shocked, one could tell even though his mask. Kitster had a large, goofy smile on his face. Luke stood, blushing a little as he glanced at Lorelei, and then left the room. Waiting, so as to give him a few minutes head start, Lorelei then stood and exited the room.

…………………

Luke was leaning against the railing of a balcony overlooking the Garden District of Coruscant. A mother and her two children were playing around one of the beds of roses. Luke sighed and shook his head. He was trying to fill his head with pleasant things so that he could forget this new prophecy…

This prophecy was terrible! How could this happen? The look in her eyes when the they had been told the meaning…poor Lorelei. Now, on top of the inevitable discomfort that would develop between the two, her life would be in danger. As soon as Abdul found out, he would come for her. He couldn't let him get her.

Footsteps were approaching from behind Luke. He didn't turn, deciding to instead wait for his new guest to speak first.

"Hey, kid, you alright?" came Han's voice.

Luke turned to see that Han looked genuinely worried about him.

"Why did this have to happen? Why now? Her life is going to be in danger! And now…what are we going to do about this?" Luke asked.

Han came up beside his old friend. Leaning sideways on the balcony, Han felt a smile tugging at his lips. Luke scoffed when he seen it.

"This isn't funny, Han," the Jedi protested.

"You love her, don't you?" Han said, the smile growing.

Luke sighed. It was such a simple question. And he was sure the answer was just as simple, but for some reason…now, it was harder. He turned his eyes sadly to his friend and said, "I thought everyone already knew that?"

Han let out a whoop and then clapped Luke on the back. Luke stepped out of reach.

"How can you celebrate?" Luke asked in disbelief.

"Luke, you love her. You have to tell her!" Han urged.

"I can't…not now. She'll think…she'll think that I'm just pretending to be interested in her…for sake of the prophecy."

Now it was Han's turn to scoff.

"Is that what's got you so worried? Luke, Lorelei is a smart girl. Tell her. She'll know it's the truth."

"No," Luke said, turning to reenter the senate building. "I can't. Not now. Maybe there will be a time later…but not now. I'm going to talk to her. For now, I just have to make sure she is safe…from Abdul."

"Luke, we don't even know if he knows about the prophecy."

A cough from the door of the senate brought Luke's and Han's attention to Harry and Anakin.

"Bad news," Anakin began.

"He knows," Harry finished.

End Notes: Wow, that was longer than I thought it would be. What did you think? I hope some people found this funny, as well as plotful. Now, please R & R! Thanks!
