A/N;Sorry I took so long, this chapter was changeling to write, and to add to writting this, my computer erase half of it before I could save, and I had to rewrite it.
A little about this chapter, the Meditation practice Shawnie teaches her friends does work, since I was taught it in school and still pratice it, try it out, if you are interested.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and Star Wars and please review.
In a fifty yard square room, a girl is using four foot poles that seem to float in mid air to do mid air tricks, and standing on them like a normal floor, except for each one at different heights, and scattered high above the menace room.
After doing a complicated twist in mid air, Shawnie landed softly on the ground from a twenty foot high pole, and sighed." Great workout for today, I'm lucky it's just a Saturday." Shawnie thought as she wiped some sweat from her forehead, as she headed to the bathroom to the side of the large room.
After a refreshing bath, Shawnie stayed in a small dark room sitting in a Meditative trance, and after an hour she left the room all calm and clear minded.
After leaving from her trunk which was on the bed, Shawnie smiled as she unlocked her curtains surrounding her large four posted bed." Good another month of Force exercises, I should be strong enough to last longer in the next encounter with Death eaters." Shawnie thought as she noticed her friends still sleeping in the early morning, so she decided to Meditate on the bed to pass the time.
Shawnie was sitting cross legged in deep in Meditation, when she heard her name being called several times, before opening her eyes." Sorry Hermione, I have a habit of blocking outside sounds when I in deep Meditation." Shawnie calmly explained, since Hermione was not happy about having to wake her up.
"Why do you Meditate Shawnie?" Hermione asked her friend, as she looked interested in her friend's hobbies.
"I'll just say it helps with the focus of the mind, and when you are focused you can do spells faster, and easily." Shawnie explained, since she did read something about using Mediation to help with spells.
"Wow I didn't know that, can you teach me to Meditate?" Hermione asked, looking hopeful that Shawnie would teach her.
"How about this, I will teach you some simple Meditation practices." Shawnie suggested as she to a very happy girl.
"Thanks we can start right after breakfast, and maybe we can bring Neville along." Hermione suggested, and Shawnie agreed as she tried to decide to show her friends her trunk, but decided later to do it.
Just as Breakfast was almost over, a white and blue Owl started dive bombing Shawnie, and she quickly ducked." Great at least he stopped landing on me and pecking my face." Shawnie groaned, as the Owl finally landed with a note tied to its leg.
Shawnie
I have a surprise waiting in the third floor corridor, and I will pick you up right after lunch so I can personally show you, and please bring your charming friends along.

Albus Dumbledore
As Shawnie read this, she wondered why Dumbledore wanted her and her friends on the third floor, since she knew only her father's destroyed fighter was still there.
"Wow Shawnie you got a letter, but who sent the letter?" Hermione asked, but a second later gasped as she glimpsed the name on the bottom of the letter." Oh no Shawnie are you in trouble?" Hermione only could ask, as she looked shocked.
"Actually no, since I'm good friends with the Headmaster, and he wants me to bring my friends with me to the Third Floor Corridors." Shawnie informed Hermione, as she looked unsure.
"Shawnie, isn't the Third Floor off limits to all students?" Neville asked, since he heard his friends.
"It is, except for me, and I guess after you go there, you will be allowed to stay on that floor, but I should wait to till we get there wait until I tell you why." Shawnie informed two intrigue friends, who wondered what was on the third floor, but decided to wait.
As the day pass, Shawnie Neville and Hermione found a deserted classroom, and started her friends lessons in Meditation.
"Neville, do you want to learn to Meditate, it can help you be more assured of yourself, and cast magic!" Shawnie informed her unsure friend.
"Is Meditation hard to do?" Neville nervously asked.
"Actually no, but you need to dedicate yourself to the practice for it to fully work." Shawnie informed Neville, and he agreed to try it.
"Now that settled, when you start I first want you both to practice Breathing." Shawnie started, as Hermione look at her funny.
"What do you mean practice, don't we breathe all the time?" Hermione asked along with a confuse Neville, while Shawnie sighed at the question.
"We do, but to meditate properly you need to learn to breathe slowly, and what I will teach you will do that." Shawnie informed her friends, whom nodded ready to learn.
"Good the first step is close your eyes, and take a breathe, and hold it for five seconds, and then release it and hold it for another five seconds, and after that repeat the steps." Shawnie informed her friends, and they nodded before closing there eyes to practice the breathing exercise.
After five minutes of silence, Shawnie knew Hermione got the hang it, and even more surprised that Neville was quickly learning and smiled as she interrupted their concentration." So guys, how do you feel?" Shawnie asked, as Hermione smiled.
"Like I been asleep for hours, wow that was amazing, how long were we at it?" Hermione quickly asked.
"About five minutes." Shawnie answered, as she turned to Neville.
"I guess I feel calmer now then before." Neville informed Shawnie and she nodded.
"That's what Meditation does, it helped you to calm yourself, help to clear your mind, and give you a good rest in a short time, but for now we will not continue until you can slow your breathing without counting." Shawnie suggested, and her friends nodded as they closed her eyes and continued to practice.
To Shawnie's surprised, both Neville and Hermione were fast learners, since it took them almost an hour to slow her breathing without counting, and Shawnie smiled.
"Now that you got it, the next step you need to concentrate on your center while meditating, and everyone center is exactly four inches below your belly button." Shawnie informed two blushing friends, since they immediately pictured where it was.
"Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, IT IS NOT THERE!" Shawnie firmly scolded while blushing also, since it was her first thought." Four inches is just below your belt line, so it is nowhere near it." Shawnie informed two now red face friends.
"Alright I think I got it, but it is not easy to picture it." Hermione embarrass said, as Shawnie shook her head.
"It will be fine, find the four inches mark, and place your finger on it and concentrate on it and soon you will get." Shawnie informed her friends, and then remember a way to help them.
"Hermione I want you to stand while you close your eyes and concentrate on your center, Neville I want you to watch for now." Shawnie suddenly said, and Hermione at first looked confuse, but followed orders.
As Hermione stood, Shawnie could tell she was ready, for a certain test." Hermione, just relax, and you will be alright if you are doing this right." Shawnie only warned, as she stood behind Hermione, and lightly pushed her, and got a firm resistance, before Hermione lost her concentration she stumbled forward, while Neville quickly got up to help.
"Hey why did you do that?" Hermione grumbled, as Shawnie sighed.
"Hermione, if you did it right, you will be well balance, and not easily fall over." Shawnie informed the startle girl." For a few seconds, you were able to stay firmly on your feet, but you lost it as lost your concentration." Shawnie finished, as Hermione nodded.
"Help us balance, can this help me stop being clumsy and such?" Neville suddenly asked, and Shawnie nodded.
"Concentrating on your center will give you perfect balance, so perfect I no doubt you will fall over not as much as before." Shawnie assure Neville, and he nodded eager to try." Then you are next Neville, now stand and find your center and concentrate." Shawnie suggested, and Neville did get it on his first try to Shawnie relief.
After another half hour, Shawnie was sure her friends was able to focus on their center without trouble, and had them combine the first part of their training and smiled." Good, they are more relaxed then before." Shawnie happily thought, and started Meditating on her own, to see how long her friends can keep this up
After coming out of her Meditation, Shawnie was surprise that two hour had pass, and her friends was still Meditating." That is enough for now I think you will be able to continue on your own, unless you want someone with you when you meditate?" Shawnie suggested, and as Hermione and Neville opened their eyes.
"Wow, I feel like I been asleep for a week." Neville quickly said, as did Hermione.
"Doing a full Meditation for almost two hours will do that, since you will lose the sense of time while meditating." Shawnie informed two now worried friends." But not to worry, you will learn when to time yourself as you practice in the future, so I suggest that you practice Meditation before going to bed." Shawnie suggested, and they all stopped for the day since it was close to lunchtime, and they all left the classroom.
Lunch was a noisy affair, and as everyone finished eating, a kind voice called Shawnie's name.
"Good evening Miss. Carina, are you and your friends done eating?" Dumbledore kindly asked, as he smiled at the teen.
"I guess so Professor Dumbledore, but what is the surprise?" Shawnie asked, as Dumbledore grinned.
"Once you go to the Third Floor Corridor you will know, but don't worry, you will like it." Dumbledore informed Shawnie, as she and her friends stood up and left with the Headmaster.
At the Third Floor Corridors, three teens, and Dumbledore reached large double doors, which Dumbledore waved his wand it opened." Shawnie, why not go in first, we'll follow." Dumbledore kindly suggested, and Shawnie stepped in and was shock at what she saw.
As Shawnie came out of her shock, she slowly walked up to her father's now fully restored and damage free Star Fighter." Professor, how can this be?" Shawnie could only ask, as Dumbledore walked in with two surprise students.
"Magic of course, you are lucky there were enough pieces to properly put her together, but of course there was some guesswork's on a few too unrecognizable parts." Dumbledore informed Shawnie whom continued walking about the Fighter." But at lass, I'm sorry to say we couldn't fix the engine, so sadly this won't fly." Dumbledore regrettably informed Shawnie, who nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry Professor, I glad to have it back to its original state it will give me something else to have from home." Shawnie sadly said, as Dumbledore gave her a hug.
As Dumbledore and Shawnie talked, Neville and Hermione were looking over the ship." This can't be, it almost look like a spaceship from Star Wars." Hermione quickly said, as she climb up the ladder to the cockpit and saw the opening for the R2 unit." This IS a spaceship from Star Wars." Hermione excitedly yelled, as Dumbledore and Shawnie looked to her.
"I'm sorry Hermione, what did you say?" Dumbledore kindly ask as Hermione climb down from the fighter.
"Professor, why do you have an unknown Star Fighter prop from the Star Wars Movies?" Hermione asked, as she looked to Dumbledore.
"Sorry Hermione, but my knowledge about Muggle movies is very limited, so please enlighten me of this Star Wars Movie?" Dumbledore kindly asked, as he conjured some chairs for everyone to sit, and listen to Hermione.
"Well Star Wars is a popular American Muggle Movie that was seen allover the world." Hermione started, but stopped as she gave it some thought before speaking again." It's about an evil Empire bent on taken over the Galaxies, and a group of Rebels trying to stop the Empire, but its also about the rise of last Jedi Knight, whom help fought the Empire." Hermione informed everyone, but stopped as she saw Shawnie looking shock.
"Did you just say Jedi Knight?" Shawnie shockingly asked, and Hermione nodded.
"Yes, a Jedi name Luke Skywalker, whom was taught by Obi-wan Kenobi, and then Yoda after Ben was killed, but why are you looking upset it's just a movie?" Hermione informed Shawnie, whom closed her eyes to calm herself.
After some minutes, Shawnie looked to Dumbledore." Professor, how can this be, you said I been asleep for a hundred years, and there is no way Earth would have learnt of the Jedi, since last I heard Earth was not part of the Republic?" Shawnie asked, as Dumbledore looked lost in thought before speaking.
"There is a way, if the Arthur of the Movie was a Muggle Seer, he must have used his visions to create the Movie." Dumbledore guess, as Shawnie looked to a startled Hermione.
"Hermione is there any way I can see this movie?" Shawnie asked, as she looked hopeful.
"There is, since it's on VHS tape, and I think my parents will have the newer version with unseen scenes by the time I leave for the summer." Hermione informed Shawnie, but quickly change the subject." But wait if you didn't see the movie, why do you have this?" Hermione asked, as she pointed to the Star Fighter.
"Hermione, its because this ship crashed landed near Godric's Hollow some months ago, but luckily the Pilot and her R2 unit survived, and now is living here with us." Dumbledore informed Hermione, as he hinted some things.
"Living here, wait a minute are you saying Shawnie is the Pilot?" Hermione quickly asked, as she stared wide-eye at her friend.
"I was the pilot, since I narrowly escape the Empire from a Jedi Temple using my father's Star Fighter, but unfortunately crashed on Earth." Shawnie sadly informed Hermione, whom was shocked.
"What happen to your father?" Hermione only could ask.
"He as many Jedi Knights, masters, and apprentices were killed before anyone could escape, so I believe that maybe I was the last Jedi Knight living." Shawnie sadly said, as tears formed from her eyes.
"Shawnie you might not be the last Jedi Knight, since according to the movies, Jedi twins was born just after the Clone wars, and it was them whom help free the Galaxies from the empire." Hermione quickly assured Shawnie, as she looked hopeful.
"Hermione, I must see what happen after I left, so please can you get me a copy of those movies?" Shawnie asked with hope in her voice, but Dumbledore interrupted.
"Actually Shawnie, I have some Muggleborn contacts I can ask, and they might give me copies of the latest Star Wars movies before they come out, and I should get an answer in couple weeks or sooner." Dumbledore informed a happy Shawnie.
"Professor Dumbledore, can you see about certain other movies?" Hermione quickly ask, as she looked hopeful.
"Sorry Hermione, I don't want to be a bother to my friends, and plus this is for Shawnie." Dumbledore kindly but firmly informed a guilty looking girl.
"Sorry I should not have asked." Hermione ashamedly said, as she looked down.
"It's alright Hermione, at least you now know, but I should be off to write to my friends about this Star Wars you told us about." Dumbledore kindly informed everyone, and left.
As Dumbledore left, Hermione looked to Shawnie." Um Shawnie, I was wondering about the Clone Wars, since very little was said, and I heard that three movies would be made from that time period, but not when they will be out?" Hermione asked, as Shawnie sighed.
"Hermione, I was on a Jedi Temple on a distant planet far from Caruscant when it happens, so I know very little about the Wars, but I can tell you what I do know." Shawnie informed Hermione and started to answer a few questions.
By dinner Shawnie and Hermione was able to learn what the other knew about the Jedi, and Neville who was listening had asked if he might be able to see the movies, since he was interested in Muggles also, and the two friends agreed.
As Dinner ended, Dumbledore stepped up to where Shawnie was sitting at the Gryffindor table for a kind word." Excuse me Miss. Carina can I have a word with you about your special training?" Dumbledore kindly asked, and Shawnie quickly got ready to leave.
"Wait what about my friends?" Shawnie asked, but Dumbledore shook his head." Sorry not this time, since I would like to talk to you in private." Dumbledore regrettably informed Shawnie, and after a quick farewell to her friends, Shawnie left with Dumbledore.
In Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore went to the fire place and threw in some Floo powder"
Shacklebolt, I'm in my office, you may come in now if you can." Dumbledore called out as he place his head in the green flames, and after a quick reply, Dumbledore removed his head, and sat down waiting.
"Sir, what is going on?" Shawnie worriedly asked, but the Fireplace flare up, and a tall man in Auror's Robes step out.
"Albus good evening, are you well?" Shacklebolt kindly informed Dumbledore, and then turned to a nervous Shawnie." Hmm, you were at the battle at Diagon Alley weren't you?" Shacklebolt firmly asked, and Shawnie nodded, but Dumbledore firmly interrupted.
"Shacklebolt that is not what I call you here for, since I do need your assistance, as well as others you trust." Dumbledore firmly informed the Head Auror, and he quickly nodded.
"Sir I will help in anyway I can." Shacklebolt quickly informed the Headmaster, and he nodded.
"Now that settled, I need to tell you that Shawnie Carina here was receiving some advance defense training." Dumbledore started, as Shacklebolt listen." Unfortunately the training was cut off by an attack by a Dark Wizard, and now that she is here I want to help her continue it, since it is very helpful to her cause." Dumbledore finished, and Shacklebolt gave it a long thought.
"What sort of training she was in?" Shacklebolt firmly asked, as Dumbledore smiled.
"Lets just say advance sword play, and I heard she is quit good." Dumbledore simply informed a smiling Auror.
"Swordplay my specialty, other advance spell casting, which I can introduce later." Shacklebolt smiled, as he turned Shawnie." I will help train her if she can last two minutes in a friendly duel with me." Shacklebolt kindly firmly warned, and Shawnie nodded." Then I will be here tomorrow morning, right after breakfast, so be here on time." Shacklebolt firmly suggested, and after a friendly goodbye, he left through the fireplace.
Once Shacklebolt left Dumbledore turned to Shawnie." Get a good night rest Shawnie, and I think a good Meditation will also help, since Auror Shacklebolt will put you to the paces." Dumbledore warned, and Shawnie nodded, and after a friendly goodbye, Shawnie wonder if this was a good idea.
