"That's strange," Harry said, scratching at his messy hair. "I always thought breakfast should happen first but maybe that's just me."
"You can't just wave your hands and make some food?" asked one of the younger students as they all followed the ball.
Harry shook his head. "Not without something to start with, it doesn't quite work like that. I mean I could, but you wouldn't get any of the…" he paused, looking over at Aayla. "nutritional elements, right?"
Aayla nodded indicating he had use the right words and Harry went on. "So you might think you're eating, but it wouldn't fill you up or give you any of the protein or anything else that you need for the day."
The girl looked a little grumpy at that, but nodded. "I suppose that makes sense."
"Wait…" said one of the other girls suddenly serious. "Would the food you conjure up still taste the same?"
"So long as I knew what it tasted like and could picture it yes," Harry replied with a nod.
All of the girls suddenly looked at one another at that. "And it wouldn't have any calories or anything?" one of the others, a young girl somewhere between Alecto and Aayla's age with green skin and a vague reptilian appearance asked.
"Calories?" Harry asked cocking his head to one side.
"The things that make you go fat," Aayla said with a shrug. She didn't see the point of worrying about that kind of thing, having gone hungry more than once as a slave. But she supposed other girls might.
"We are definitely going to have to talk further about that," said one of the older girls with a faint laugh. "Though I have to wonder how you do all that anyway, none of the teachers have hinted at anything like that being possible with the Force."
She said that as they were entering the room and Harry smiled suddenly widely moving towards the center of the room calling back over his shoulder, "You might be able to find out yourself soon."
The other children all looked towards what had grabbed his attention and either smiled or looked shocked, with Aayla hurrying after him, smiling widely. Lily floated at the front of the room, her legs crossed under her as she seemed to sit on that desk there, as much as was possible anyway. Arrayed all around her were small pillows, one for each student, and they quickly sat in them, facing her.
"Good morning," she said, smiling at them all. "I realize I introduced myself last night, but let me do so formally once more. My name is Lily Potter, and I will be your teacher in this class, starting today. Before anyone asks, no I am not what you call a Jedi, but I do believe I am also a Force user, as you use the term. We, that is my son and I have much to learn from the Jedi, but also much to teach you."
Turning she nodded to knight To'neen who had been seconded as her assistant, and he inputted a command into the large computer screen behind her. A few lines of Galactic standard script popped up there as she continued. "First, we will discuss meditation, what you are actually learning from it, the differences between how the Jedi do things, and how my people did things. Most of that I expect will be in the realm of visualization." she finished, enunciating the last word clearly to make certain that she said it correctly in Galactic Standard.
"From that, we will segue into the second part of the class, that of manipulation." Again she enunciated the word clearly, gesturing to her son. "You have all seen what Harry can do, and I have no doubt that a lot of you are interested in trying to see if you can learn the same thing. I doubt we'll get there today, but I think we can learn whether or not it's possible by the end of the week. If, that is, you all are motivated. Are you?"
They all cheered at that, even the older students losing some of the self-control that they had been taught at the idea of being able to do even a few of the things Harry could.
"Excellent," she said, clapping her hands, creating a sound that the students felt through the Force just as much as they heard it via their ears. Listening to a Force Ghost was like that, half in your head, half in your ears. It was very unusual, but somewhat pleasant too. The sound cut through the noise and the students subsided quickly.
"The third part of the class will be a question and answer session. However I reserve the right to not answer any questions that I deem too personal, or too advanced. If they are too advanced, I will explain why." She laughed suddenly, sending a shiver through her listeners and they all smiled at one another. "Mind you, most of the time my answers will be 'I don't know yet'. The Force, as you all call it reacts differently here than in our own world."
Alecto, who had said he was a Duros the day before raised a hand. "You said the word 'in' there Master, was that deliberate or a mistake of the language barrier?"
"We're still trying to figure that one out." Lily said with a smile. "Master Tholme has decided that he will be trying to find where our planet is from what little information Harry and I were able to tell him, but unless I'm mistaken he hasn't found anything yet."
She looked over to the wall where Master Tholme and Master Illaviel stood, and Tholme stepped forward as all eyes turned to him. "Mistress Lily and young Harry come from a world called Earth, which translates to 'dirt' in our language, or perhaps 'soil'. It is the third planet out from their yellow sun and is one of nine, with four gas giants. It does not match any solar system I have heard of, nor does it match any in the files I can access here on Explorer."
