Chapter 2: Welcome Home

When Harry rematerialize he was in a totally new place. He was in a forest, surrounded by animals and plant life and somewhere in the distance; he heard the roar of a waterfall. "Where are we?" Harry asked in a small voice.

"This is place is your new home. We are dozen of light years away, in a completely different solar system. Where no one can see us but we can see them. We are on a planet. Yes, we are ten thousand light years away from Earth but we have ways of visiting it. Come lets walk," said Lunesta after awhile of walking Lunesta turned back to Harry and asked, "How much do you know of astronomy?"

"Not much," responded Harry.

"Well we are in the solar star system of Virgo. So, we are part of a constellation. Now you will be taught many things and be given a new name as well."

"What am I going to learn here," Harry asked.

"Different self-defense moves, how to wield weapons. Also how to control two very different type of magic, one of them is elemental magic, which is like controlling the weather in a way. The second one is wand less magic as you call it, we just call it magic."

"So what would my new name be? Would I also use when I go back when I'm seventeen?" asked Harry.

"Well your knew name would have to have a special meaning to you and the people who live here. Yes, you will use when you go back but that is not for a long time," said Lunesta.

"Where are we going?" asked Harry.

"To the Royal Court. It's a group of people who we entrust to help us run our planet. They are located in our main city, Ganee. (A/N pronounced Ga-knee) You'll love it in Ganee. It's beautiful with mountains, waterfalls, and jungles. The city is huge or at least by our standards it is," replied Lunesta with a huge smile.

"Who will I live with?" Harry asked in a worried voice, he wanted to stay with Lunesta.

"It depends on what the council, the star and the moon want," said Lunesta a she moved some leaves away so Harry could fallow her.

"The star and the moon?" Harry looked at Lunesta with a curious expression.

"Yes, our star Virgo is our center of life. The star and the moon you will see when we reach Ganee. The star represents to us, new life and beginning. The moon represents the circle of life from start to end. So we take astronomy very serious here as well as our martial arts."

"Why do you need to study martial arts and all?" Harry asked with a strange glint in his emerald eyes.

"Lets rest and I'll tell you a story why we study martial arts, all right?" Harry nodded his head eagerly and sat down on the soft floor.

"A long time ago, my people were not here. Now we also lived on Earth. The people on Earth and us, coexisted peacefully for many centuries until four people came and started to turn the other wizards and witches against us. After that war began.

"True we were much powerful than anyone else but we did not want to hurt any one we are a peaceful people. Unfortunately, there was one thing they were better at then us and that was self-defense. Before we came here, we gathered all the information we could about self-defense then so we could train here in peace and harmony. Every hundred years we have scouts that go out to gather more information so we can stay in shape," finished Lunesta.

"Why are you still studying when you are never going back?" Harry asked.

Lunesta had a bemused look on her face and after a couple of minutes said, "There was a prophecy that was told about a month after we settled here that said that we would be returning. So we decided to keep up with all the martial arts as the years go by so when we do go back we will be ready in case something happens again that will need our martial arts skill."

Suddenly the sounds of drums were heard and it sounded a lot like thunder to Harry, "What's that noise?"

"That sound is the tanji drums. The tanji drums tell us when to sleep, when to get up, when to eat, go and come home from work, when to plant crops, catch fish. Whenever we have a festival, we have our tanji drums. Now the tanji drummers start the music and as people start to wake up, they will join the tanji drummers in the dance. Everyone here is a tanji drummer to some level, Harry." The tanji drums stopped and soon birds came out and started to sing. Lunesta yawned conjured a blanket and two pillows.

Lunesta beckoned Harry closer so he could be under the blanket with her, and soon the duet fell into a light slumber with happy thoughts.

A/N. I'm done with chapter two yes. This really is a bit of background on the people who live on this planet, which is why it is so short. I'm a taiko drummer, which is the Japanese way of drumming. So that is were a kind of got the idea of the tanji drums from. So, tanji and taiko are pretty much the same thing. If you have, any ideas feel free to contact me. Please review people. : D
