Dumbledore's eyes remained fixed on the letter in his hands, a deep furrow forming between his brows as he read the words He couldn't make sense of it. "What in the bloody hell is the 'Jedi Order'?" he muttered to himself "And why do they have a secret base in Antarctica?"
Dumbledore took a deep breath as he approached the hidden base in Antarctica. The icy winds whipped around him, but his trudged on. After a series of security checks, he was finally granted access and escorted to a large, dimly lit office where two figures awaited him.
The taller of the two stepped forward, his presence commanding. "Welcome, Albus Dumbledore. I am Yan Dooku, head of the Jedi Order. This is my second-in-command, Mace Windu," he said, gesturing to the stern-looking man beside him.
Dumbledore nodded in greeting. "It's a pleasure to meet you both," he said, his curiosity piqued. "I must admit, I am unfamiliar with your order."
Yan Dooku smiled faintly. "Our order is far more ancient than you might imagine. Your planet is deep in the Outer Rim of the galaxy, where even the Emperor and his Empire cannot find us."
Dooku must have noticed the look on Dumbledore's face as he coughed "Let me tell you the story of Sheev Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious."
He continued, recounting the tale of how Darth Sidious had staged a war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS), led by former Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord, Pong Krell. Palpatine had manipulated events from behind the scenes, all while secretly corrupting Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to the dark side.
Mace Windu's expression darkened as he touched his robotic arm. "Palpatine's treachery led to the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire," he said, his voice heavy with bitterness.
Dooku nodded in agreement. "Our last Grandmaster, Yoda, fought and killed Sidious in the Senate building, but he succumbed to his wounds shortly after. Anakin Skywalker, now christened Darth Vader, declared himself Emperor and swore to hunt down the remaining Jedi."
Dooku continued, "Skywalker's secret wife, Padmé Amidala, gave birth to twins and escpaed to find us. With the help of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, we found this planet and decided to restart our order here. This planet is unusually strong in Force users, more so than any other planet in recorded history. Especially among you magicals"
He paused before revealing the final piece of the puzzle. "Harry was found because of his Midi-Chlorians count, which rivals even that of Yoda. He has been raised by Padmé Amidala alongside her twins and youngest son Jinn"
Yan Dooku gestured for Dumbledore to stand up and told him to follow him, leading him through the winding corridors of the hidden base. As they approached a large training room, the sound of clashing lightsabers grew louder.
Dooku led Dumbledore to the entrance, where they paused to observe the scene before them. In the center of the room, Harry was engaged in an intense sparring match with Luke, both boys moving with remarkable speed as Harry's purple lightsaber clashed against his brother's green one, as the two tried to overpower the other
