"That was an excellent first day," Illaviel said, her mannerism having noticeably thawed throughout the day though she was still stiff and stern to Lily's eyes. Still, Lily could liken her to Prof. McGonagall, so that was alright. So long as she kept their interactions solely from one teacher to another anyway.
"I'm still not certain about this whole reaching out to the magic, to the Force, around you thing. It was never described to me in that manner, but I can understand it. Asking the Force for aid is still strange to me, but so long as someone else can handle that aspect, we seem to be on the right track here." Lily replied, shrugging her ethereal shoulders.
"I understand among your people basic education takes seven years? Do you think it would take a full seven years to get the other students to where Harry is? Won't that be slowing him down in turn?"
"I don't know yet, we'll see. I think it will depend on whether or not Harry begins to learn how to reach out to the Force like you Jedi describe. If he can, that's a sure sign that the teachings can all crossover rather than the simple things."
"Simple things? Tholme mentioned a few force powers but he didn't go into detail outside of the transfiguration that your son has shown us already."
"That's because Harry doesn't really know many attacks spells. I've taught him a few just for self-defense and the effects of a few of them do sound like what Master Tholme has described as force powers already, but many don't. We'll see what you think about the others when we get there." Lily shrugged again.
For about two weeks the training vessel continued on its way as the students learned, both from Lily and from the other teachers. They all slowly mastered the color changing spell, and then began to move on to other charms, and the simplest Transfiguration Lily could remember, transforming a needle into a matchstick and back. They mastered the two, if slower than many of them had hoped, and doing so continued to exhaust them.
Still, it was a good sign for Tholme and the others that they could learn it at all. Tholme himself attempted a few of the simpler spells, and could not make it work at all. He simply could not visualize it enough while also reaching out with the Force to actually create the spell.
As for the children themselves, they positively loved the new classes, and Harry and Aayla fit in almost immediately. Aayla had issues with a few of the other girls, but her willingness to help them out in their classes, her lack of ego and outgoing nature soon won them over. Even the Falleen girl who had initially seen her as a rival quickly thawed towards Aayla.
Among the boys Harry and Alecto being the oldest students automatically became the leaders of the other boys, which could have gone to their heads if either of them were the type to let that happen. Alecto was a down to earth sort, serious at times, but also remarkably level-headed and hard working. He and Harry got on very well almost from the get-go, along with Wulo.
That Harry would become one of the better achievers in the classes was a given, but like Aayla he didn't have much of an ego, and always went out of his way to help the other students along rather than keep to himself. He made several friends because of this, and was frankly having the time of his life.
OOOOOOO
Yoda came out of his meditation in the Coruscant temple, hopping to his feet and moving out of the council chamber, where he routinely meditated when the council was not in session. He moved purposefully, his entire body still shaking somewhat from the warning he had gotten from the Force.
The future had changed recently, shifting dramatically in indiscernible ways. The Jedi couldn't describe it truly, but it was as if a picture you had seen all your life had changed entirely, taking your memory of the old picture with it. You could feel that the picture was different but you couldn't figure out how, why or indeed if anything hadn't changed because you had nothing to compare it to, simply a feeling.
But one thing Yoda was certain of now thanks to this latest warning: something was going to happen soon, something centered on the Explorer. And if Yoda didn't get there in time, the Dark Side of the Force would become stronger somehow, the balance of the Force becoming skewed. He had hoped to leave within another two days, but this feeling told him he could not afford to wait.
Pulling a small communicator from his belt he called down to the starship bay. "Hrhrhrm, Grand Master Yoda this is. Ready a ship for me you will. A captain I will require, supplies for a month too."
He did not look up as a rather short, almost rotund looking human began to walk beside him on the second level down from the Council room. "Going somewhere Master Yoda? What an odd coincidence, I feel the Force calling me away too, to one of our training ships. A disaster in the making."
"Coincidence it is not. Your presence, an aid it will be to me Master Giiett. But bring your starfighter, you might wish to."
"Strangely I thought the same thing." Micah Giiett murmured, smirking slightly as he fell into step with the diminutive Grand Master.
About half a day later their Consular Class ship exited hyperspace in Denon. There they were met by Master T'ra Saa, who joined them instead of heading back to the temple with the report on the emergency relief efforts going on in Siskeen. She wanted to check in on Master Vos and his padawan, who she had replaced as the Rylothi sector Jedi, and also to hear about their job on Ryloth itself.
In the next system on their route, they came out of hyperspace, quickly turning to the next jump coordinates. But before they could jump out they were almost immediately hailed by a small, specially designed yacht.
