Disclaimer: Still the same. I'm getting really sick of having to repeat that!
Thanks heaps for all the reviews. I liked shocking Yoda. More of Harry's adventures will be revealed as we go. Time to start with Luke's training! Still no pairing suggestions? Do you all think Han/Leia should be the only one? Anyone want to Beta? I've never had one before, would probably be a good idea. Other two stories have hit snags, don't worry they're not abandoned.

Chapter 4"When I suggested training him this wasn't exactly what I had in mind." Harry looked up from the ships manifest as Mace materialised on his bunk. He shot the spirit an amused yet irritated smirk.
"You go fifteen years without a word and now I can't go a month without you popping in. As to his training, I took an oath to tech him to the best of my abilities. That implies teaching him everything he needs to survive any given situation."
"Smuggling I can understand but assassination? That is going too far Harry!"
"Is it, it is what I was taught and at a much younger age. And don't give me that Dark side rot, my becoming a Dark Wizard was something my trainers knew to avoid at all cost. Besides, another ten months and Yoda gets to fill his head with all your Jedi stuff. If he could keep me sane four hundred years ago and keep you and the rest of the Council from killing Qui-Gon out of frustration then he'll be able to handle Luke and make sure the kid stays on the path. Speaking of whom, where is Qui? Haven't heard from him in ages." He hid a grin as Mace let out an exasperated sigh. Teasing the ghost was a lot of fun.
"I doubt you'll be seeing him any time soon. He and Obi-Wan have a lot of catching up to do,"
"Well say hi to them for me. Is that all? I need to finish this before we land."
"Word of advice. Keep him close, your contact could cause a problem."
"Oh?" But there was no anwer, Mace was already gone.
"Stupid, cryptic jedi." Harry muttered as he went back to his work.
Han glared at his copilot as they made their way through the cantina and towards a back booth. Even in the crowd they had little difficulty, Chewie's size pretty much guaranteed they wouldn't be bothered.
"I can't believe you got us into this. Why did I let you go to her Highness instead of doing it myself? You were supposed to tell her we were leaving, not volunteer us for a supply pick up."
'All other ships were in use, who else could meet the ship?' Chewie simply ignored Han's glare.
"Anyone but us. I told you, we're out. This crazy crusade of theirs already killed the kid, I don't care about the Imperial bounty still out on him, there's no way he could have escaped. I don't want to end up dead! No one knows anything about this guy!"
'He has been smuggling for two years. Captains a medium sized freighter, one other crewmember. Has been supplying the Alliance for the last month.'
"Okay, so we know something. Still not enough." Han watched as two human males headed their way.
"Heads up Chewie, this looks like them." The Wookie growled in agreement.
"Can I help you gentlemen?"
"Depends if you're interested in Corellian Brandy, ten years old."
"I can take that off your hands, for a reasonable price." Code exchanged the two men sat down. The older man seemed completely at ease, leaning back into the booth, legs crossed. His younger companion was a lot edgier. If something went wrong Han knew he'd be the most likely to shoot.
"Your friend seems a little nervous, there wouldn't be a reason for that would there?" Han's suspicious nature was rearing its head.
"Aille has never seen a Wookie so close before, their reputation proceeds them."
"Relax junior, long as you don't do anything stupid Chewie'll leave you alone."
"Yes sir." Han's gaze narrowed, something about the young smuggler was vaguely familiar. He shrugged the feeling off, must be his youth. Every young man seemed to remind him of his dead friend lately.
"I'm Captain Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon."
"I've heard of you Captain, and your ship. They say she's the fastest. Captain Quil Min of the Windstar, my co-pilot Aille Digs. We've got the shipment, you have the money?"
"Twenty five as agreed. You're letting this stuff go pretty cheap."
"My contribution to the Alliance Captain Solo, nothing more."
"Docking bay 37 two hour."
"See you then." Han watched the two men as they left.
"Something about that kid's bugging me, I don't buy the first time seeing a Wookie story."
'The cub seemed overly anxious. He seemed shocked to see us when they first entered. Perhaps we have seen him before, working for another Captain?'
"Maybe. Come on. Lets get back to the ship."
"What's wrong Luke?" Harry asked as soon as they were safely aboard their ship.
"I didn't think I'd see them here."
"Captain Solo and Chewbacca. You knew it was possible we'd run into them at some stage, we are after all in the same business."
"I guess, just not this soon. It hurts to see them but not say anything."
"You miss them."
"Force yes! Han's, well, he's the closest I've got to a brother and he probably thinks I'm dead!"
"You already knew that Luke."
"It's different knowing it and then seeing them and knowing I can't say anything."
"With your disguise in place they can't recognise you."
"I wouldn't be so sure, this is Han we're talking about. He didn't believe your explanation for my reaction and I know I should have better control than that."
"At least I didn't have to point it out. Look, we'll be gone in a few hours. Next time he sees us, if he does, he'll probably have forgotten all about it."
"Or will you make him forget?"
"You know I don't Obliviate people without a very good reason. Vague suspicions aren't enough. Come on, we need to start loading the cargo for transport, I have a feeling your friend doesn't like to be kept waiting."
TBC...
Sorry for the short chapter but it just seemed to end there.
