So I was looking on the net and found this short story about Vernon Dursley being a Star Wars fanatic and that Petunia never told him about wizards because they didn't go to the wedding. Being a decent fan of both verses I got these images of what Harry would be like if instead of being punished for his abilities, he was praised. Which meant his abilities to use wandless magic would soar, along with the possibility of Dudley being encouraged to try at least a bit too. Dudders would not have half the skill Harry had, but he
might be able to predict stuff, or levitate very small objects with years of work.
Couple of Snippets I immediately thought of:
Harry: ::Doing hand wave thing:: I am not the child you are looking for.
Draco/Filch/Fudge/Weak Minded Person...: ::drone type voice:: You are not the child I am looking for.
Harry: ::repeats motion:: I can go about my business.
Person: You can go about your business.
Harry: ::repeats motion:: Have a good day.
Person: Have a good day.
Charms class, learning wingardium leviosa:
Harry: Wingardium Leviosa! ::feather goes boom, Harry scowls and gestures at Hermione's feather. Feather flies up and a light shines in Harry's eye:: Too much power, duh! Stick helps focus, smaller focus, smaller energy input, finer tuned!
Hermione: ::Starry eyed, hands clasped:: How'd you do that? Can you teach me?
Hermione and Harry have long involved talks about Star Wars and the Force and eventually get at least Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Neville into it too. Seamus cause he's half muggle so knows the references too. Dean and Neville share dorm space with the other three, so eventually give in as well.
Eventually Harry finds or makes substitute components to make a working Lightsaber, continues his study of the Force, and uses 'magic' as a buffer. He senses the differences between Quirrel and Sirius and immediately knows the latter is innocent, and also senses something wrong with fake-Moody. Among other things.
