Chapter 7: Meet the Parents

July 22nd, 2007

Diagon Alley, London UK

James just stood there for a moment following the surprisingly quick conclusion to the Death Eater attack. He could feel Lily's hand squeezing his as he watched his son ruthlessly dispatch the Death Eaters. Two feelings were warring inside him at the moment. Part of him was worried about Harry's actions, what kind of past did he have that he was able to kill so easily? The larger part of him was filled with relief and pride. Relief that Harry had not been raised by a Death Eater and pride that Harry put his life on the line for others because based on what he had witnessed Harry could have simply avoided the battle and left everyone to fend for themselves.

Lily had a different reaction them James. When they had first arrived at Diagon Alley, her only thought had been to find Harry and never let him go again. It had been close to 26 years since they had seen him, but the ache of his loss had never left her. Even the birth of his sisterHailey which was an extremely happy event for the couple also served as a reminder that their family was still missing someone. Then, just as James had spotted him, the Death Eaters attacked. She felt a pit form in her stomach as she saw the Death Eaters begin to attack. She couldn't lose Harry now, not when she had just found him again. Like everyone in the alley, she had been stunned by the weapons that he used. But now she didn't know what to feel, her son had just killed or helped to kill close to 15 men.

While Lily was trying to decide how to feel, Revan and Bastila were moving to a back to back position once again. Revan didn't think these people were enemies, but he was not prepared to roll over if someone got twitchy. He couldn't believe his parents were here. They looked exactly as the vision showed them. He felt like running. What would his parents think of him? Despite his fear of their reaction, he found himself wanting to know his parents.

He hadn't cared about others or what others thought of him in so long. Now, he found himself weighing his decisions against the outlook of Bastila. Revan wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. The Massassi were here on this planet and a half-hearted approach would only doom them all.

Shaking his head of these thoughts, he returned his focus to the people standing around them. Based on what he had seen, the 'wands' were their only weapons. He had not seen any of them use the force without one. Perhaps they were not able to. Regardless, the attackers had been able to accomplish much more with the use of a wand than he would have suspected.

Bastila stood with her back to Revan and her saber staff in a ready position. She could tell that no one knew what to do. By the way people were staring, it was clear that they had never seen anything like a light saber before. She studied the men and woman around them, the tension was building as everyone continued to stare silently.

Crack! Sirius Black, Auror Captain, and 5 Aurors apparated into Diagon alley and almost precipitated another battle. At the sound of apparition, one of the jumpier Aurors near Bastila raised his wand to snap off a spell; however, before he could even begin the incantation, Bastila swung her saber staff in an arc and sliced right through the wand just inches from his hand.

Breaking free from his daze, James yelled "Stop! You won't hurt my son!" James then stepped over the Revan who was watching him warily. James raised his own wand and turned his back to Revan and Bastila so that he could help protect them.

Sirius was lost. He had been notified of the attack less than 5 minutes ago. The Order of the Phoenix hadn't even arrived yet but all the Death Eaters were dead or unconscious. Finally he asked "James, what are you talking about?"

James shook his head and replied "I don't want to get into it here. Lily and I are taking these two somewhere safe." Revan, Bastila and Lily all looked strangely at James as he said this. Revan frowned for a second before shrugging his shoulders.

"James I can't let anyone leave. We need to interview everyone to find out the facts of what happened." Sirius explained.

"Sirius, there were Aurors in the alley that witnessed the entire attack. I am sure they can give you a detailed accounting." Thinking the issue was decided, James pulled out a portkey from a pocket in his robe.

Sirius stepped up to James and put a hand on his arm. "James, you can't just leave the scene like that." He held up his hand to stop James from objecting. "I am willing to go with you and question them there. My team can do the rounds here."

By this time, Revan had re-holstered his blaster and Bastila had deactivated her saber staff. After James' comment they shared another look that said to go along with things for now, but be prepared for anything.

James motioned Lily to join them and asked Revan and Bastila to grab onto the metal ring he was holding. They shared another brief look with each other before complying. Sirius had just grabbed onto the ring when James said "Potter Manor!"

Revan and Bastila felt an uncomfortable tug behind their navels when the port key activated. Seconds later they were dumped unceremoniously on the stone floor of Potter Manor. Revan was up immediately scanning the room for exits and any sign of danger. Bastila was kneeling on one knee prepared to pounce as she two too stock of their surroundings.

Potter Manor, Godric's Hollow UK

They arrived in a large open room that appeared to be the main entrance. It had granite walls and dark marble floors. A large tapestry hung in plain view from the large oak door that depicted what Revan assumed was the Potter family crest. The crest was a deep forest green with two golden stags facing each reared up in challenge. The room itself was sparsely furnished with sturdy wooden benches near the door and a small table next to the wall in the rear of the room.

James led everyone to a small study off the main entrance. It had the same dark marble floors of the main entrance but the stone walls were replaced with mahogany wood paneling. The walls were lined with book cases that were filled with both books and assorted pictures. A large desk was at one end of the room and a small table with chairs sat on the opposite side. The large fireplace near the table was currently dark.

Revan took a seat facing the door. His choice was not lost on Bastila or took the seat next to him. After everyone had taken a seat, they sat and stared at each other. No one seemed to know what to say. Finally, Revan said "Would you care to explain where we are or why you brought us here?"

Sirius added abruptly "Yeah, I'd like to know why you would bring two potentially dangerous strangers here?"

Bastila just sat there observing everyone. She smiled grimly at Sirius' comment because it was true.

James was nervous but he found it a little easier to begin now that someone had spoken up. "Sirius, I can't be 100 till I check with the paternity spell but I think this is Harry."

His eyebrows rose practically rose to his hairline before Sirius said "James, I realize that he looks a lot like you, but Harry has been gone for 26 years now."

Revan stayed quiet during the exchange. He knew that James was his father from the vision but he was curious why James was so sure he was his son. James turned and focused on Revan and studied him for a moment before answering. "I know he looks like me but that isn't it. I always had a connection with Harry since the time I first held him in my arms. For the first time since his disappearance I feel that connection again."

Lily spoke up finally guessing what Sirius was about to say "Sirius, we spoke with Albus this morning. He showed us a life stone this morning that he had attuned to Harry when he was born. All we knew was that Harry was somewhere in London."

"But he told us that Harry was dead, why would he do that? If he had a life stone he should have been to locate him." Sirius asked.

"None of the spells worked, they couldn't find him anywhere on Earth. Yet the stone didn't turn black so he knew that Harry was alive." Revan smirked at this answer. It was no wonder they couldn't find him, he had been on a different planet entirely.

James frowned when he saw Revan smirk; surely he didn't think it was funny that they thought he was dead. Sirius saw the smirk as well and said accusingly "What, do you think it's funny that they thought you were dead? Do you know what kind of hell they have been through?"

Revan cut Sirius off in mid-rant "I think you have misunderstood me. I was laughing at the James' explanation. Once you are satisfied that I am their son, I will tell you why."

James felt some relief at Revan's answer. "Do you mind if I cast the paternity spell on you now? It will simply show the names of your parents."

Revan said "Yes, you can run your test."

James pulled his wand and muttered something under his breath. A soft green beam of light issued forth from the tip of his wand striking Revan in his chest. The glow spread over Revan's body and finally two names formed over his head. There is soft green glowing letters were the names James Hayden Potter and Lily Marie Potter.

After seeing the names floating above his head Lily burst into tears. Despite her misgivings, this was still her son. Knocking over her chair as she stood up, she rushed around the table and practically bowled Revan over as she grabbed him in a fierce hug and sobbed on his shoulder. James wasn't far behind in grabbing onto Revan as well. Both were afraid that he would disappear from their lives again.

Bastila took one look at Revan and burst out laughing at the expression on his face. His gold eyes were wide and a panicked expression was on his face as his parents hugged him. Bastila just couldn't believe it as she bent over with the force of her laughter. Here was Revan, one of the most feared men in the entire Republic looking terrified and powerless as he was embraced by these two people.

Sirius scowled as he saw Bastila laughing. "I don't see what is so funny."

Bastila thought over her answer. She needed to be careful, if Revan were able to establish a relationship with his parents, it would make it harder for him to slip back to the dark side. While she thought the father might understand some of Revan's rationale, she did not think his mother would. James and Lily had finally returned to their seats by the time Bastila answered "Revan is one of the best military commanders that I know of. The expression on his face when his parents were hugging him was priceless."

James asked a question now "Why do you keep calling him Revan? His name is Harry."

Revan knew that Bastila was leaving him a way to avoid some of his sins and appreciated her even more for it. He turned his attention to Lily and James and said "I have been called Revan all my life. While it is nice to know what my name once was, I have paid to high a price to change it now." He paused to let that sink in for a moment before he continued with his story "I laughed earlier at your choice of words when you said that it appeared that I was no where on Earth because you were more right than you know."

Something about Revan and this woman bothered Sirius. He had never seen wounds like the kind on the Death Eaters and the idea that his godson could kill them so easily was very unsettling. He decided that he needed to get the story of what happened before he learned more about Revan. So, Sirius interrupted Revan "As much as I want to know where you have been all these years, I need to ask you some questions about the attack."

Lily was about to protest when Bastila cut her off and asked "What did you want to know?"

"First off, I need to see your wand to know what spells you cast." Sirius looked at Revan and Bastila expectantly.

Revan let Bastila take the lead. "That might be difficult since we don't have wands."

"How could you take down so many Death Eaters so quickly if you don't have wands?" Sirius demanded. James and Lily were curious as well though no where near as agitated as Sirius appeared to be.

"I used this." Bastila answered simply holding up her saber staff and activating it.

Sirius just stared at it. He had never seen anything like it. "Where did you get that? Is it some kind of dark magic?" He asked accusingly.

James was getting fed up with Sirius. He just couldn't understand his reaction. "Sirius back off!"

"No James! He may be your son but we don't know anything about him. He could be in league with Voldemort for all we know!" Sirius said angrily. Something about Harry or Revan whatever he was calling himself was off. His showing up at Diagon Alley just in time for the attack was too convenient.

Even Lily was getting defensive now. "That's ridiculous! They didn't do anything until the Death Eaters attacked!"

"Exactly! What were they doing there in the first place? I am going to take them with me to the Ministry where I can question them properly." Sirius finished practically shouting.

"No Sirius, you not taking them anywhere. I didn't just get him back to let you take him away again." James said in a very quiet voice that sent shivers down Sirius' spine.

He narrowed his eyes and wondered again why James and Lily were reacting so strongly. Sure it was their son, but he was just a cold-blooded killer in Sirius' mind. The fact that he had killed people didn't seem to be bothering him at all. "Fine James, they can stay here tonight, but if they are not in my office tomorrow morning you better expect to see a team of Aurors show up at your door to bring them in." Sirius growled.

Revan and Bastila stood up at this point. Revan said in calm but deadly voice "What gave you the impression that we would let you take us anywhere?"

Before Sirius could finish drawing his wand to back up his threat, the room was filled with a soft hum as Revan's blood red light saber and Bastila's yellow saber staff flared into life.

Bastila purred "I would put that away if you want to keep your arm. We have done nothing wrong. We simply defended ourselves and the people of that alley place from those hostiles."

Sirius just stared at the glowing light sabers in front of him before putting his wand back in its holster. He spun and walked out of the room, only pausing for a moment to say "Remember what I said James." Seconds later, they heard the slam of a door and knew that Sirius had left.

The four adults looked at each other for a moment and then Bastila and Revan deactivated their sabers. Everyone returned to their seats when James apologized for Sirius.

Lily asked softly "Harry…I mean Revan can you tell us what happened to you?"

Revan answered "I was taken by a woman named Kreia and brought to a different planet to be raised by a group of warriors called the Mandalorians."

"What? She brought you to a different planet? That's not even possible." James exclaimed.

"There's a lot out there that you don't know about. This world is fairly primitive compared to the worlds of the Republic. Let me get through this and then you can ask questions." Then Revan went on to describe his time with the Mandalorians and his subsequent training to be a Jedi.

Lily found herself crying once more as she listened to her son recount his life. No one should be raised in such an environment. Of course, this thought was fighting with the fact that the galaxy was teeming with alien races and traveling from planet to planet was no different than going to Europe. "You said that you paid too high a price to go back to calling yourself Harry. What did you mean by that?"

Bastila understood why he was reticent about sharing some of his darkest deeds with his parents. For herself, she was still surprised at her willingness to work with Revan. Not too long ago, she had been intent on capturing and potentially killing him to rid the galaxy of the threat he posed. Then she was forced to listen to what he had to say and she could hear the truth behind it. She would never allow herself to sink to the depths that he had regardless of the cause. His intentions and the threat of the Massassi themselves were also a mitigating factor in her new stance with Revan. If she can keep him on the grey path that he appeared to be trying to walk then he would once again become one of the Republic's greatest assets.

Clearing her head of these thoughts, she took over the story for Revan. She began to describe the Mandalorian War and Revan's role in it. She didn't leave much out. Revan filled in the holes in her account, adding in details about Dxun and Malachor V.

After they finished describing the war Revan answered Lily's question. "I was in charge. I personally led assaults or ordered attacks. Men flocked to my banner at my call. They fought and died in my name and in the name of the Republic. It would dishonor their sacrifice and their memory for me to take my birth name once again. I say this not to hurt you, but my name will always be Revan Bloodraven."

James sensed there was more to the story and said so. Bastila was about to speak but Revan cut her off. He didn't think she would betray his secrets to his parents, but it would be better coming from him directly. "Yes, almost immediately on the heels of the Mandalorian War there was a …" He paused as though searching for the right word. "There was a civil war. It is still going on now. Like before, I was a major figure in the war."

Bastila understood what Revan was doing but there was a voice in the back of her mind urging her to clarify that Revan started the war. She held her tongue though, in the end it would come out but right now it could destroy any chance at a relationship with his parents and she wanted that in place to help anchor him.

Revan looked at her gratefully before James asked "If the war is still going on, why are you back on Earth?" He didn't get the impression that Revan would run from a fight.

"I was betrayed by my second in command. He and a large contingent of our forces attacked my flagship while we were orbiting a planet undergoing repairs. Shortly before the attack though, I received a vision from the force showing me brief flashes of your life here on Earth. It was the first time I knew you were alive and where you were. I had been thinking of coming here and had gone so far as to have the computer calculate the course. When we were attacked, the ship and computer were damaged and we were only able to go to the last programmed destination, in this case Earth."

Lily had recovered her composure. Her son's life had been very hard. She never wanted him to have to face such things. But, he had also seen places and met beings beyond her wildest imagination. She wondered if he was ever innocent after he had been taken from them. Still she was curious "Is ship in orbit then? Can we see it?"

Shaking her head, Bastila answered "No, the ship was destroyed shortly after we entered this solar system. The damage to the engines was too severe and they overloaded. We escaped on a small gunboat with a handful of crew members."

Revan stood up. "Why don't you take a few minutes to let everything sink in. I need to contact my men to check-in." With that, Revan left the room to give his parents some privacy. Bastila followed him.

James understood better now why he felt such a connection with Harry…Revan he corrected himself mentally. Beyond the mere fact that Revan was his son and he loved him immensely, they had similar experiences. As an Unspeakable he had killed more than his share of dark wizards and creatures. He knew what it was like to make the hard choices and send men into situations knowing that they would most likely die. Without realizing it, he had recognized the look in his son's eyes. It spoke of a willingness to do what needs to be done and the knowledge that he would pay the price regardless of the outcome.

Lily wasn't sure what to feel. Like James she loved her son and was ecstatic to have him back with them. She was more reticent though. Even knowing more about him, she still was having a difficult time reconciling her baby boy with the man she saw in Diagon Alley. The cold dispassionate side of her recognized the necessity of his actions, but it did little else to put her ease.

For the second time that day, the face of Sirius Black appeared in his fireplace. Albus of course invited Sirius to come on through. Once Sirius had taken a seat, Albus wasted little time on small talk.

"Sirius, what happened today at Diagon Alley? None of the Order members were able to give me any details." Albus asked. He hadn't heard anything from Lily and James either. He could only hope that they had found young Harry.

"That's because the attack was over before any of us even got there. The 15 Death Eaters involved in the attack were either killed or incapacitated."

Shock shone clearly on Albus' face at Sirius' words. "Killed?"

Sirius replied tiredly, the fight with James earlier that day was wearing on him "Yeah they were killed. It was Harry Potter and some woman with him."

Albus paled even further, his face now the color of parchment "You're sure it was Harry Potter and not some imposter?"

"Yes, James even cast the paternity spell on him proving that he was Harry. Though he calls himself Revan now." Sirius said bitterly.

Albus was thinking quickly. He had hoped that Harry would be someone that he could use as a banner carrier to rally the wizarding world behind him. If he was willing to kill so recklessly though, he would have to rethink his plans. Maybe he could use James and Lily to bring him around to the proper way of thinking. "How did James and Lily react?"

"Both were overjoyed that they had Harry back with them. Lily seemed unsure how to deal with the events of Diagon Alley. The thing that surprised me though was James' attitude. It didn't seem to bother him at all."

"Hmmm…This will require some thought on my part. What about his companion?"

"She's just as bad as he is, didn't seem to mind at all that she had killed a number of men."

"What's your impression of them?" Albus asked. Plans were forming in his head, but it would take some effort on his part to bring them about.

"I don't know. If you had told me yesterday that I was going to be reunited with my godson today I would have been over-the-moon. Now though, I don't know. It's not just what happened in Diagon Alley, there is just something that doesn't feel right about him. Something happened to his eyes too, they are gold instead of green. And it isn't the amber that Remus gets when the werewolf is coming out. It is an eerie and unsettling gold color."

"What did your Aurors think of today's events?"

"Frankly, the ones that were present for the attack are terrified of him. According to them, he threw lightning and was using wandless magic left and right. That doesn't even begin to explain some funky weapons he has. I have never heard of anything similar to them in the magic or muggle world."

Albus and Sirius continued to discuss the implications of Harry's return and whether he would play a role in the war against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Sirius was not aware of the prophecy and Albus was feverishly trying to come up with ways to tie Harry to the light. If the eye witness accounts were even half way accurate, Harry would make a dangerous enemy and surely tip the scales in Voldemort's favor if he were to join forces with him.

Somewhere in UK

In a dimly room two figures dressed entirely in black stood facing each other. Each man held an almost glass-like sword of incredible sharpness. It was clear that larger of the men was holding back, occasionally slapping the other with the flat of his blade hard enough to draw blood along its edge.

Then the smaller man stopped and held his sword point down to show submission. When the other man also lowered his sword, he looked into the red and gold colored eyes of his master and said "Master, do you sense it? There are force wielders on the planet."

Kael Corpus replied to his apprentice "Yes. It appears that a new threat has arisen to challenge our control of this backward planet."

"Do you think it could be other Massassi?" Heto Malico asked respectfully.

"No, they would have contacted us. Plus, we do not have the men to spare on this rock while we are putting down the uprising in our empire."

"Is it possible that we simply sensed the natives? We have seen what they can do with those 'wands' of theirs."

"Again, I do not think so. The force wielders were working with the force and not forcing it to act through those wands. It leaves an entirely different signature. No, I think we have Jedi on the planet." He finished his last sentence with a sneer on his face. The Jedi were nothing compared to the Massassi. They ignored the power offered by the dark side of the force, forever crippling their abilities and power. If his suspicions were correct, the Jedi should prove to be no match for himself or his apprentice.

"What do we do?"

"For now we do nothing. But soon it will be time to take a more active role in guiding our agents on this rock. The dark side already covers this planet in a shroud; it will soon be time for that darkness to be made absolute. Then we have a new planet to add to the Sith Empire."
