The Rise of the Jedi
By: Tellemicus Sundance
Harry self-trains as a Jedi
Inspired by the movies and series, using sourcebooks for additional info, Harry begins training to use his strange powers like the Force so he could become a Jedi. When Hogwarts tries to recruit him, he declines since he wasn't interested. But when they persisted over the next few weeks and months, some even resorting to threats, he decided that the best way to protect his relatives until he was better trained was to leave. Though she was very weary of letting him leave on his own, Petunia at least helped to teach him some foreign languages (French, Spanish, German).
When he was ready (November 2011), he left Surrey and headed into France where he immersed himself deeply into his studies. He used his power to survive, earn some money, and inadvertently draw attention to himself from both the Muggle and Magical governments. The Muggles wanted to capture him to experiment on him, learn the source of his strange powers. However, the French Magicals got him first, ambushing him and forcing him to attend Beauxbatons (only then learning his identity) (March 2012).
Though disoriented and angry, he bided his time as he waited for the right moment to make his escape. In class, he constantly surprises, awes, and infuriates the students and professors alike since he refuses to use a wand or play by their rules. Although, this also gets him a lot of fangirls who were attracted to his bad boy routine. Even Fleur was interested in him, though only his strange control over wandless magic. All of this attention inevitably draws the English Ministry's attention and Fudge quickly storms into Beauxbatons' great hall during breakfast to 'save' Harry. This naturally caused a great deal of commotion (just as Harry anticipated) and helped the boy sneak away. Only Fleur noticed at first, following him away from the students to ask him to stay (he kept things very interesting in school) or at least keep in contact. He reluctantly agreed because he secretly was awed by the beauty of her aura (not body). Escaping the school, Harry snuck into Spain and began exercising his powers much more discreetly.
While Harry was on his odyssey through Europe, Lucius began his campaign of reordering the hierarchy of the Wizarding World. When Fudge barged into Beauxbatons and caused an international scandal that the ICW was forced to interfere in (just to stop another potential war), Lucius was able to push his reform through the Wizengamot. At the same time, Quirrel penetrated the Stone's defenses twice (the second after figuring out the jinx on the Mirror). He quit his job and left the school the very next day (Dumbledore was busy in a week-long debate with the ICW at the time). Following the Beauxbatons Debacle, Dumbledore proposed the return of the Triwizard Tournament to the ICW in hopes of it helping to calm things down after the incident.
Using the Stone, Voldemort regained his body, gained immortality, but lost his Horcruxes. Quirrel died during the resurrection due to Voldemort sapping his magic to survive. Voldemort spent the next year recovering his health and power (May 2012 – June 2013) before making a move. Though Lucius tried to unleash the diary Horcrux, it failed because it wasn't a Horcrux anymore. When Sirius escaped (May 2013) to try and kill Wormtail, he finally learned of Harry's disappearance and goes on a frantic search to find him. Voldemort frees his Death Eaters mere weeks later and begins reforming his forces.
After 2 years (February 2014), Harry considers himself to have reached Padawan rank and begins trying to build his lightsaber. Using the 'alchemy' he learned at Beauxbatons, he was successful for crafting the parts and went on an odyssey across Eurasia to find a gem that was attuned to him to use as the focusing crystal. While he's in Taiwan, Harry gets a vision of a Dark Lord presiding over a burning castle, torturing people (including Fleur) as he lays waste to all around him. Harry rushes back to France where he hears of the coming Triwizard Tournament (October 2014).
Using the Tournament to his advantage, Voldemort plants Barty Crouch Jr. as Professor Moody. The spy's job is to tamper with the Tournament: cursing the Goblet to only allow the most magically power to enter the Tournament, and erecting a shield around the Trophy that only the Champion with the most power can penetrate. Voldemort needed a magically-powerful sacrifice to initiate his plans of creating a worldwide Imperius field using the ley-lines that interconnected at Stonehenge.
However, they couldn't have anticipated Harry sneaking into the maze to try and stop the plot from happening (convinced that his vision revolved around the Tournament's outcome). He could sense the dark curse around the Trophy and tried to stop Cedric from taking it, but gets yanked along with him. Though surprised at having caught two, Voldemort has Harry bound and stunned for later entertainment while Cedric is prepared for the ritual. But Harry was able to force himself back conscious, break free, and disrupt the ritual just as it was beginning, saving Cedric's life. However, the magical backlash of the ritual's interruption was so overwhelmingly severe that it caused a cataclysmic global tectonic rupture that ripped entire continents to pieces. Harry and Cedric were lucky to escape with the Trophy back to Hogwarts just as the devastation began.
Within only an hour, Hogwarts was overrun by the concerned parents of the three schools as the world was torn asunder. The different Ministries were also fast to arrive since they all detected the surge of power that originated in England and, failing to reach anyone in London (already destroyed), they rushed to Hogwarts. Harry was mostly able to escape by blending in with the crowd, though he did catch a few stares (Cedric, Fleur, Dumbledore, and Snape) before he vanished into the Forbidden Forest. Harry quickly settles back into his role as a Jedi, helping people in need, which included clearing debris, finding lost ones, and foraging food.
Spark of Rebellion
The Wizards start seizing control of large areas and enslaving the populace. The ICW was crippled during the Great Disaster and unable to stop the various new magical kingdoms and factions that rose up to take power for themselves. In Scotland (now just a series of islands), the former English Ministry takes up residence in Hogwarts. A new school is built in Hogsmeade, using the principles of Lucius's reformation since Lucius is the only surviving school governor after the chaos (he assassinated the others to help enforce his reform).
After letting things settle after two years (September 2016), Voldemort once again resurfaces and begins forming his own empire. He claims Hogwarts as his royal palace, executing Fudge and taking control of the Ministry itself. His official stance is that he isn't trying to impose any blood supremacy rights anymore (Lucius took care of that), he's simply trying to reunite the fragmented Magical World and they need a strong leader to help them through the chaos. Though extremely weary of his blatant return, the public eventually agrees that he is trying to help them through their crisis and is doing a much better job than Fudge had been. He visits the neighboring 'kingdoms' and demands loyalty and fealty of the kings and have them recognize him as their Emperor. If they don't swear allegiance, he tortures them into submission or replaces them (if their Mudbloods).
Harry purchases a Canadair hydroplane (Snow Owl) and converts it into his home, allowing him to travel as needed. He is found by Fleur, who'd been tracking him for some time. She and her sister Gabrielle join his 'crew' as he goes on jobs. Harry eventually takes Gabrielle as his apprentice, even though he doesn't consider himself a Jedi Knight yet. They are later joined by Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks, and Kreacher the House-elf. Learning of the new evil Emperor that rising to power, they begin lighting the sparks of rebellion against him
Misc. Ideas
Dumbledore ties to piece the ICW back together, but is meeting strong resistance since many Wizards are enjoying the chance to enslave Muggles to their wills.
Learning of Voldemort's new empire, Moody attempts to reactivate and recruit the Order of the Phoenix, with only marginal successful.
Voldemort makes Umbridge his new Head Inquisitor. The Inquisitors seek out insurrection to the Emperor's rule, and Muggleborn children for 'reeducation' at Azkaban (no Dementors guarding it anymore). These Muggleborns become Voldemort's new Terror Troops, Mage Guards, or Inquisitors.
Snow Owl crew – Harry the Mechanic (Kanan), Fleur the Pilot (Hera), Gabrielle the Disciple (Ezra), Viktor the Muscle (Zeb), and Tonks the Infiltrator (Sabine).
The Snow Owl serves as a public transport plane for cargo and passengers between the various kingdoms and the empire.
Snow Owl - The plane is a heavily modified version of the CL-215, with installed front firing cannon, front firing miniguns. A rear cargo hatch is installed, as well as water-bombing doors, though without the water tanks. The plane is used as an aerial gunship, ground attack strafe run aircraft, bomber, and troop transport.
