Disclaimer: I own no characters or places, except maybe for a few that I make
I run off of things that I see and hear and read, so if you have suggestions or corrections please let me know.
As stated above, I pull from from things that I read and hear, so if you read a lot of the other fanfictions on this page you will probably recognize a few things, when you do I would appreciate a message telling me what it's from, because I will probably end up putting it in without remembering what it's from, and so being unable to credit them.
This is a Harry Potter fanfiction/Star Wars cross-over where Harry is sorted into Ravenclaw, and has control over the Force
This is my first Fanfiction, so here goes
Prelude
It's 11:55 PM on July 30th, and there's almost no one awake in Hepburne County. In fact, there's only one little boy, sitting on his bed watching his clock and thinking about his life.
Hmm... Harry Potter thought, only 5 more minutes until I'm 11! I wonder what Uncle will do for me this year. Last year I got a few books and a Star Projector...
Harry's Uncle, Mr. George Rogers, is a well known Astro-physicist, and as such has raised his ward as a scientist in turn. Harry's Aunt, Mrs. Petunia Rogers, is more of a homebody who enjoys gossip and ladies' nights out.
At exactly 12:00 AM, on July 31st, all Hell broke loose.
Harry, along with everyone else within a few hundred feet of their house, woke up with a start as a dozen air-horns hidden around the house all went off at the same time, followed by a loud recording shouting "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!" in his Uncle's voice.
See, that's the other thing about his Uncle, he's a prankster.
In the morning, Harry woke up, yawned, slipped on his glasses and looked to see what time it was. As he did so he saw that there was a note on his bedside table.
Dear Harry,
As an extra challenge this morning, we have padlocked your door.
The riddle below will give you the password, all you have to do is speak the word near your door, the padlock is voice-activated.
First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies,
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard,
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?
-Uncle George
Hmm, thought Harry, the first part is a little ambiguous, there are a number of things that could fit it, really, the second part's easy, that's "d", as is the last part, being "er", so I have "-der"... Unwilling to kiss, makes it a "Spider", with first part being "spy".
The whole process took him all of 30 seconds. So Harry dressed, went over to unlock his door, and went downstairs to breakfast. Along the way he noticed, with a smile, that his Uncle had gone all out. The chaos last night was apparently also accompanied by confetti and streamers.
When he entered the kitchen his Aunt and Uncle were waiting for him.
"Morning, Harry!" his Aunt said smiling, "You look like you were up all night!"
"He was probably watching the clock again," said his Uncle said with a chuckle, "How was the moment?"
Harry grinned, "You outdid yourself this year."
"Just wait for next."
"Oh, and by the way dear, there was also this package waiting for us outside the door this morning," his Aunt said handing him a small cubic box, "it was addressed to you and said that it should be opened by you alone, in your room."
Hmm. Harry was interested, so he took it up to his room and opened it. Inside was a small silver orb and a note.
Hello Son,
If you are reading this, then I am dead, and you have just turned 11. If you aren't 11 yet, then close the box up and wait until you are, I can't ask you to forget about the orb, but I would ask that you try. So, if you are indeed 11, then Congratulations! I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but there are a number of things you need to know, and they will be explained by the orb. The main reason for this note is just to explain how to activate it. You must take it out of the box first, then find the small flat panel on the bottom and press your thumb against it. Once it flashes green speak your name (Harry James Potter), then set it on the ground and let it work.
-Lily Potter (Mum)
P.S. You might want the lights off
Harry turned the lights and followed the instructions. As soon as he set it on the ground a green lit smoke started pouring out of the bottom, then she appeared.
It was a classic hologram, right out of the movies, blue tinged and ever so slightly fuzzy, but never the less, he could tell it was her. The one person he'd been wanting to see for his entire life.
"Mom?" He said in a slightly shaking voice.
"Hello Harry," she said, "if you're anything like your father, which I assume you are, you will try to talk to me during this, but unfortunately, this is just a recording." Her eyes softened a little as she said this, "So, to business, there are a couple of things you need to know. First and foremost is that you will probably have a visitor within a few hours. They will be from a place called Hogwarts, and they will be here because you are a wizard. I expect this will come as a surprise, but it also might not, if you think back, there may have been times when you did accidental magic, not recognized for what it is at the time. Hogwarts is a school, its full name is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there you will learn to control your magic. Next is that the world of wizards runs on an entirely different system of currency that you will come to learn, but for now you merely need to know that there is a bank vault in your name that should have more than enough money in it. Lastly, you will be special even among our kind, because our family is one of very few lines of Force elementals. We have control over something that flows in and around everyone and everything in the universe. No one knows for sure why we can control it, and no one else can, but we can. It will take you time to master, I don't know how long, it changes for every person, but it can serve as a tool, a weapon, a shield, or really just about anything. Its power is limited only by your strength with it, and your intellect." She paused for a moment seeming to gather her thoughts, "The orb will help you to learn how to use your powers, Harry, from now on, you just have to press your thumb to the bottom to activate it, after that it's self-explanatory. I wish you the best of luck."
She smiled at him once more, then with a small pop, the image disappeared and the fog dissipated..
Well... that was a lot to take in... He checked his watch. A quarter hour had passed, I should probably get back downstairs and have breakfast, and warn my Aunt and Uncle that we're going to have guests...
And so this is where the Story begins...
1) Yes, I realize that the books took place in the 80's or something, but I can't really have fun with it in that time frame, so I'm moving it forward a few decades to around current time. This will give me more freedom with the world.
A/N: This is basically my first time writing a story, so people are probably going to seem a little emotionless at first, I'll do my best but that's one part of a story I'm bad at, so just bear with me, and I wouldn't be annoyed by tips :)
A/N2: Once again, I run on suggestions, so I will get new chapters done faster when I have more suggestions. I will try to credit people whose ideas I use. I'm not certain how often I'll post the next chapter, I'm rather busy, so it might be a few days... But yeah! Please, Please, Please send in ideas and reviews, and critiques, and such :)
A/N3: If you leave your Email in the review, or if you are logged in, I'll email you a reply of some kind, if not I'll leave a small note in the top section of the next chapter released
