The Wizard From A Galaxy Far Far Away [YEAR 3] (Male Reader x Hermione Granger)

Training with McGonagall...

Y/N woke up the next morning and walked down to the common room to see Hermione studying.

"Morning. Need any help?" Y/N said as Hermione looked up from her book.

"No thanks, I'm fine." Hermione said as Y/N nodded to her. "Sleep well?"

"Define well." Y/N said as he chuckled to himself, Y/N checked his watch and saw the time, changing into some training clothes before leaving to join McGonagall in the room of requirement, arriving and walking into the room to see McGonagall waiting for him with her usual robes on.

"Ah, Mr Potter, welcome, you can put your weaponry over on the table, you won't be needing it for today's training session." McGonagall said calmly as Y/N did as he was told, placing his utility belt with his lightstaber attached to it on a table. "We're going to be practising controlling your force abilities, Kestis has said that you were concerned about that?"

"Um...yes, Master. I've...I sometimes find myself...losing control of my abilities, letting my anger control me for the briefest of moments, I must confess...I have nearly choked some people on multiple occasions."

"I see. Would Mr Malfoy be one of these people?" McGonagall said as Y/N nodded.

"Yes Master." Y/N said as McGonagall nodded.

"Well then, we shall focusing on control, even in the face of your anger." McGonagall said as Y/N nodded. "Shall we begin?"

"I'm ready."

"I want you to lift these weights, using the force." McGonagall said as she saw Y/N look over to a huge pile of weights, heavier than anything he had lifted before. "Everytime you fail you will add another minute onto your timer for the task."

Y/N looked at her and she wrote a time on the wall.

"Go." McGonagall said calmly as Y/N reached his hand out and focused.

The weights started to lift as Y/N tried his best to keep them afloat, but they fell to the the floor with a clunk. Y/N looked over to McGonagall who used her wand to make some chalk write '5 seconds' on the board.

"That is the added time." McGonagall said as she turned to look at him. "Again."

Y/N reached his hand out once again and focused as the weights began to lift, they stayed up in the air for slightly longer before falling.

"Again." McGonagall said as the writing on the board transformed magically to '10 seconds'.

Y/N began again, reaching his had out and focusing as he concentrated, lifting the weights and keeping them sustained in the air for the entirety of the timer.

"Good...again." McGonagall said calmly as she wrote '20 seconds' on the board.

Y/N did as he was told, using the force to lift the weights, holding them in the air for the prescribed time before putting them down, McGonagall nodded and wrote 40 seconds on the board as she summoned extra weights.

"Again." McGonagall said as Y/N sighed before going at it again, struggling to lift the weights, never mind keep them suspended in the air. The weights lifted an inch from the floor and hovered for ten seconds before falling to the floor again with a heavy clunk.

"Professor-"

"Now, now Mr Potter. I'm teaching an important lesson, it will all become clear when it's over, for now, back to it." McGonagall said as Y/N grumbled to himself before reaching his hand out and beginning to lift the weights, managing to get them up to a foot from the ground and keep them hovering for a full two minutes before letting them fall.

"Again." McGonagall said as Y/N watched her add more weights onto the pile and write '1minute 20 seconds'.

"What lesson is this trying to teach me?!" Y/N asked as McGonagall looked at him. "Surely if I know what I'm trying to accomplish, then when things inevitably fuck up I will be able to find an alternative way to accomplish the task set before me?!"

"Again." McGonagall said, like she hadn't heard him snap at her. "Come along."

Y/N let out a huff and reached his hand out, lifting the weights, struggling until he heard McGonagall speak.

"Stop. Watch." McGonagall said as she walked over so that she was next to Y/N and levitated the weights without so much as breaking a sweat. "See, there's no need to struggle."

"That's easy for you to say, I'm not as powerful in the force as you." Y/N said as McGonagall scoffed.

"Do you think that just because I am older, that I am more powerful in the force?"

"You're a master, I'm just a padawan, not a very good one at that." Y/N said as McGonagall looked at him, shocked somewhat by his words.

"Do you think the title of master effects how powerful I am in the force? A Jedi Knight slaughtered an entire temple of Jedi masters. The same happened here on Earth, a student wiped out all but a few jedi on this planet." McGonagall said as Y/N noticed something in her voice.

"Mater?"

"Yes, Darth Mater, they betrayed and murdered your parents, alongside Voldemort. Though Mater is what we refer to them as."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter, back to it." McGonagall said as she tripled the timer on the board.

Y/N reached his hand out and began lifting the the weights with the force only for them to fall before the timer ran out.

"Again" McGonagall said as Y/N sighed to himself and did as he was told, he realised that this was going to be a long session...
