Chapter three (HPIFU)

They had arrived on Coruscant not one hour ago and Padmé's Senator had already begun painting himself a saint, while claiming that Valorum wouldn't be able to help Naboo; accurate and convenient in Harry's opinion, and Harry wasn't even surprised when Palpatine suggested calling a Vote of No Confidence.

"He has been our strongest supporter. Is there any other way?" Amidala asked.

"Our only other choice would to be to submit a plea to the courts..." Palpatine said.

"There's no time for that. The courts take even longer to decide things than the Senate. Our people are dying, Senator... more and more each day. We must do something quickly to stop the Federation."

"To be realistic, Your Highness, I'd say we're going to have to accept Federation control for the time being."

"That is something I cannot do," Amidala replied. "Lord Peverell, what do you suggest?"

"Show them you're willing to walk away from the Republic... the Trade Federation is too ingrained into the Republic anyway and would hinder any attempts at intervention. Call the Republic weak, corrupt, and ineffective, motivate some to abandon it and force the Republic to overcompensate by doing your work for you. Politicians are all about them being seen doing something. We can liberate your planet, depriving the Republic of some glory and force them to overcompensate by punishing the Trade Federation. This can also be used as a last resort along with Palpatine's suggestion of a Vote of No Confidence and would allow you to give your strongest supporter a chance...."

"I'll use a combination of the two advised options..." Amidala said. "The Trade Federation does need to be put in its place and the Republic does need to wake up and receive some motivation to combat corruption and incompetence."

"Well said," Revan agreed as Harry nodded in agreement and Palpatine looked worried.

All those required were finally in attendance and the session could finally begin, though Harry and Revan both knew that it would be pointless.

"If the Federation moves to defer the motion... Your Majesty, I beg of you to ask for a resolution to end this congressional session." Palpatine said.

"I wish I had your confidence in this, Senator," Amidala replied.

"You must force a new election for Supreme Chancellor... I promise you there are many who will support us... it is our best chance... Your Majesty, our only, chance." Revan and Harry were both suspicious of Palpatine, but being a politician and playing the game wasn't a crime.

"You truly believe Chancellor Valorum will not bring our motion to a vote?" Amidala asked.

"He is distracted...he is afraid. He will be of no help." Palpatine replied.

"The Chair recognizes the Senator from the sovereign system of Naboo." Valorum said.

The Naboo congressional box floated into the center.

"Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the Senate. A tragedy has occurred on our peaceful system of Naboo. We have become caught in a dispute you're all well aware of, which began right here with the taxation of trade routes, and has now engulfed our entire planet in the oppression of the Trade Federation." Palpatine said before being interrupted by Lott Dod, the Senator for the Trade Federation.

"This is outrageous! I object to the Senator's statements!" Dod said.

"The Chair does not recognize the Senator from the Trade Federation at this time. Please return to your station." Valorum said, and Lott Dod reluctantly moved back to his place.

"To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, the recently elected ruler of Naboo, to speak on our behalf."

"Honorable representatives of the Republic, distinguished delegates, and Your Honor Supreme Chancellor Valorum, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The Naboo system has been invaded by force. Invaded... against all the laws of the Republic by the Droid Armies of the Trade..."

"I object! There is no proof. This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth." Dod said.

"Overruled," Valorum replied.

"Your Honor, you cannot allow us to be condemned without reasonable observation. It's against all the rules of procedure." Dod argued.

"The Congress of Malastare concurs with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed... that is the law." Aks Moe said.

"The point..." Valorum began before conferring with his aides.

"Enter the bureaucrats, the true rulers of the Republic, and on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear." Palpatine said, still attempting to manipulate Amidala.

"The point is conceded... Section 523A takes precedence here. Queen Amidala of the Naboo, will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?" Valorum said to Amidala's anger and Harry and Revan's disgust.

"I will not defer.... I have come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee. If this body... if this Republic is not capable of action, then I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a "vote of no confidence"... in Chancellor Valorum's leadership and I will also be considering withdrawing the Naboo system from the weak, corrupt, ineffective, and overly-bureaucratic Republic that is no longer able to protect its people."

"What?... No!" Valorum said in shock.

"Order! We shall have order..." Mas Amedda said, taking control.

"Alderaan seconds the motion for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum." Bail Organa said.

"The motion has been seconded by Bail Organa of Alderaan." Mas Amedda said.

Valorum's fall continued from there, but Harry was indifferent.

"Palpatine, I thought you were my ally... my friend. You have betrayed me! How could you do this?" Valorum asked.

"Because he wants your job," Harry replied, getting a glare from Valorum and Palpatine. "Right, should have used my inside voice for that."

As predicted, Palpatine got his wish and was nominated for Supreme Chancellor and Padmé decided to return to Naboo to liberate it. Unsurprisingly, the Jedi High Council had refused to allow Anakin Skywalker to be trained and Qui-Gon had interpreted that the wrong way.

"If they won't let you train him, then let your Padawan train him," Harry said, shocking Qui-Gon and causing Obi-Wan to be concerned.

"I can't defy the council, Master," Obi-Wan said nervously, causing Qui-Gon to sigh.

"And neither of us can train Skywalker," Harry said. "Both of us are former Sith and us being involved in his training would only ruin his chances. I've foreseen the boy becoming a Jedi, so I suppose it's just a matter of waiting until it comes true. I could reach into the Force and see if Meetra Surik, Jun Seros, or Skarch Vaunk would at least teach him basic Force techniques and Shii-Cho. They are Jedi of good repute and would be a great help in ensuring Skywalker gets needed training."

"Please," Qui-Gon replied.

"I'll ask Meetra," Revan said. "If you imply she secretly has feelings for you again, you'll only annoy her into refusing."

"She did have feelings for me!" Harry argued. "She just chose to help rebuild the Jedi Order instead...."

"Her feelings must have not been very strong then," Revan replied, before leaving to meditate and contact Meetra.

"That was rude," Harry said in annoyance, but he wasn't angry about it. It was true and he had long moved on and had fathered several children.

"Lord Peverell," Palpatine said, drawing his attention. "Several members of the Jedi Council are here to meet you and Lord Revan."

"Can you tell them that we are both extremely busy meditating on recent events and the Force is revealing things to us?" Harry asked, and he certainly wasn't meditating while he said that.

"They would sense that I was lying..." Palpatine said.

"That's fine. I just really want to avoid ignorant children making demands of me and Jedi tend to do that." Harry replied, not caring if Palpatine was seen as liar. The man was a liar anyway.

Palpatine purposely failed to deceive the Jedi and then decided to take a short walk while the Jedi harassed his guests.

"Meditating, you are?" Yoda asked reproachfully, backed by an equally disapproving Mace Windu, Yaddle, Even Piell, Plo Koon, and Ki-Adi-Mundi.

"Meditation takes many forms... for some it's sitting in isolation, but for others it can be reading a book or merely sitting and watching the sun rise," Harry replied neutrally. "Apologies, but the Jedi Council and I have a bad history... and I once killed all twelve in self-defense and then stunned and injured hundreds more." Harry's own amusement at the easy victory bled into his voice and shocked the Jedi.

"Seen the recording, we have," Yoda said in disapproval.

"Yet you came to meet me without an army of Jedi at your back.... What does the Jedi Order want with me?"

"We wish to know your intentions on Naboo," Windu replied.

"Defeat the Trade Federation and hopefully learn the true names of the Sith commanding them, obviously. I gave them another reason to try assassinating me to draw them out, and if I can capture another Sith, then I can shift the balance of the Force and get even more information about them. Yes, I will share information about Sith actions in the Republic, but nothing more."

"And the Skywalker boy?" Mundi asked.

"He'll end up joining the Jedi Order when you all change your minds, I've foreseen that much. Strangely, he ends up the Padawan of Kenobi, but I haven't seen the reason why he would be assigned to someone so freshly knighted and inexperienced."

"Strange it is that we haven't seen such things..." Yoda said, dubiously.

"It really isn't. There used to be a Sith shrine on the mountain your temple was built upon and there may be some residual Dark Side energy clouding your vision. If you can locate the remains of the shrine or any Dark Side energy, then you might be able to weaken or remove it with Force Light." None of the Jedi believed him, but Harry obeyed the Force and told them. "Well, as uninteresting as this meeting was, we have a planet to liberate." Harry said, having sensed Revan's success in acquiring Meetra as Anakin's teacher.

"Later virgins... and Mundi!" Harry said, leaving the room and angering them.

**Chommell sector, Alliance battle-group.**
They had just arrived where Bastila was waiting with the liberation and relief force for Naboo, and they all wasted no time in boarding the Eclipse, Harry's flagship.

"Lord Peverell, Revan, Jedi, Your Majesty," Bastila greeted on the bridge. "We are ready to leave whenever you wish and have gathered intelligence in preparation. The blockade is still in place and a Sith Lord is on-world and waiting, likely to kill one of you."

"He'll be sorely disappointed. It will take more than a child playing Sith Lord to end me." Harry replied.

"Do the Sith think we were overhyped or something?" Revan asked, bemused.

"You kind of were, actually," Harry replied. "Your skill grew by leaps and bounds during the decades I taught you though." Revan nodded, conceding that he did have a lot to learn back then. Sith alchemy being only one of the subjects. "Your Majesty, we can leave immediately and hit the ships in the blockade fast and hard, and then begin landing troops and liberating Naboo. We have weapons that can destroy deflector shields with raw power and I'll have the Eternal enter the battle too." Bastila silently ordered the ship to prepare for mobilization.

"What good will your personal yacht do?" Qui-Gon asked, wondering if it was just the size and additional weapons.

"It's a lesser superweapon designed to decimate small fleets and allow its people to escape. I use it to enter hostile environments without serious risk of being stranded." Harry replied, while regretting the necessity of telling them. They would discover it soon anyway.

"You brought a superweapon into Republic space?" Obi-Wan asked, getting a glare from his Master for his insubordination.

"Only a lesser one. The Republic is influenced by a group of sexually frustrated virgins that are prone to carrying out purges, abducting children, brainwashing children, suppressing knowledge, and they generally believe that the Jedi way is the only way. And technically, mine and Revan's skill and power makes us both walking superweapons. We can both kill billions effortlessly. Anyway, Your Highness, would you like us to proceed?"

"Yes. If possible can we leave immediately?"

"That is very possible," Harry replied, taking his throne and conjuring Padmé a throne; shocking the Jedi by his willing matter into existence. Revan and Bastila looked amused at the Jedi's reactions. Harry gave the order and his ships jumped into hyperspace.

When they arrived, no time was wasted in annihilating the ships in the blockade and disabling all the droids on Naboo in the process. Troop transports were launched to begin liberating Naboo and begin providing any medical aid or food or water needed. Harry, Mars, Kallig, Veradun, and Teneb Kel, the Jedi, and the Queen and her people, however, went straight to Theed.

"The name Kallig sounds familiar," Qui-Gon stated conversationally.

"My ancestor was a Sith Lord and a rival of Tulak Hord," Kallig replied, shocking the two Jedi. "I'm not interested in following antiquated dogmas though and I've served Lord Hadrian for thousands of years."

As they landed, several ships attempted to flee Naboo, but were telekinetically caught by Harry, quickly having the engines crushed, and then the ships were dropped onto the ground. Harry also sensed a Sith inside one of them.

"I'll handle the one with the Sith inside it," Harry said, leaving Mars, Kallig, Veradun, and Teneb Kel to guard the Queen.

The Sith, a Muun, exited his ship and sent a burst of Force Lightning at Harry, which Harry calmly absorbed and sent back at the Muun at much greater power, forcing the Muun to dodge and let it hit his ship.

"So... what do you call yourself?" Harry asked boredly.

"Darth Plagueis," the Muun replied.

"Tell me, Sith Apprentice, will your Master be able to replace you?" Harry asked, angering his enemy.

"I am the Sith Master!" Plagueis insisted angrily.

"Then I'm sorely disappointed," Harry replied, while truly unimpressed by such a weakling.

Plagueis ignited his lightsaber and used a burst of Force Speed. Harry merely ignited his two lightsabers and met the Sith with his own Force Speed; invisible to everyone's eyes, and quickly flipped over Plagueis, cut off his arms and then landed, pulling Plagueis' blade to him; cutting off Plagueis' legs in the process.

Harry looked at Plagueis, completely seriously. "You look different. Did you lose weight recently?" Harry asked, provoking Plagueis into using a close range Force Bellow that actually killed Harry.... For several seconds, which shocked Plagueis. "Surprised? I can't die! I'd ask you not to tell anyone, but you won't get the chance."

With that parting remark, Harry located the bond Plagueis shared with his master and blasted him with Force Light, damaging both Master and Apprentice, and weakening the Dark Side while making the Force more Grey by weakening part of its darkness. Unfortunately, the Potter Luck struck once more and Darth Sidious was alone and would manage to conceal his reaction and weakness due to the rituals effects.... Again. Harry wanted his vision fulfilled at least and Sidious surviving and remaining unexposed was sadly necessary for that.

With his strength in the Force having now grown from returning from death, Harry left the area to rejoin the Queen and her people.

Harry was quite pleased when the defenseless Neimoidians were already taken prisoner and were signing the Treaty of Naboo, which heavily punished the Trade Federation. Several trillion in compensation, paying reconstruction costs, fines, salvage rights to all Trade Federation technology in the Naboo system, and the agreement they had to export Naboo's plasma was null and void. The Trade Federation would end up losing well over twenty trillion credits and Naboo would just keep costing them even more money.

Harry was quite pleased with how things ended on Naboo. There was loss of life, but the world and people would recover. Harry also managed to acquire a contract to transport and sale Naboo's plasma and would be donating weapons, planetary shielding, and shield gates as part of that, but it was worth it. Having a Star Forge was very helpful for removing costs.

Skywalker had rapidly proven himself and was already well ahead of the Padawan's of his age group, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was grudgingly assigned him by Yoda. Unfortunately, Qui-Gon died, after having served the Force's purpose and after having lived his alotted time, and Obi-Wan 'inherited' his intended Padawan. Harry foresaw that Skywalker could achieve his full potential with the imprints he was given under Kenobi's tutelage.

Harry also summoned the shade of Darth Plagueis, Hego Demask II; a name that was stupidly concealed by the Jedi, and he actually managed to learn a couple things from the Sith. Midi-chlorian manipulation was essentially useless to him, but it could be helpful to future apprentices. Creating a 'Chosen One' wasn't an interest in his. Harry knew better than to risk the Force's retaliation.

The Yuuzhan Vong had recently arrived where Harry predicted and had their entire population annihilated. That freed up an entire galaxy to be invaded, occupied, and populated by the Peverell Empire... after they built a hyperspace route to it.

But Harry was currently focused on eradicating the Lost Tribe of the Sith on the planet Kesh. They weren't a real threat at present time, but they might become one in the future and they needed to be dealt with.
Cleansing Kesh was laughably easy by draining the Force from the planet, and Harry infused the actual planet with some Force energy to restore it over the course of a century.

Timeskip: The time period where Harry got married, had lots of sex, made five babies, and grew his Alliance further.
Life was great for Hadrian Peverell. He dated the lovely Padmé Naberrie, fell in love, and married her in a small ceremony when she turned eighteen... well it was intended to be small, but Harry had a huge family. All forty of his surviving children attended, hundreds of grand-children, and thousands upon thousands of his descendants. Padmé received a lot of expensive gifts, which unfortunately provoked an annoying joke from the Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine.

"Well, you're a trillionaire now, Padmé, and if the marriage doesn't work out then you can probably sale all the jewelry and other treasure and buy solar systems," Palpatine joked and he wasn't exaggerating. Padmé received trillions in gifts; including ships, jewels, statues made of precious metals, rare books, and Force artifacts made just for her. Padmé was honestly rather shocked to receive such gifts, but was advised not to refuse them. She could sale the jewels, some ships, rare books, and precious metals and help the needy, but the gifts personally made for her would be considered rude to get rid of.

"Should I be concerned, Palpatine?" Harry had asked him in good humor.

"Not at all, Lord Peverell," Palpatine replied.

What nobody but Padmé and Harry knew was that Harry had improved her connection to the Force from the average one that everyone had and had begun training her in using it and lightsabers. With skill imprints she was far better than most Jedi Masters by age eighteen and would only grow in skill and power despite the numerous pregnancies.
Numerous pregnancies.

Harry never expected Padmé to turn out to be that much fun in bed. He was perfectly resigned to a boring vanilla sex life... but Padmé loved sex with him. It wasn't surprising, Harry had thousands of years of sexual experience after all, but once they were alone in bed the Padmé the public knew ceased to exist. They had a lot of sex, which they both loved, and were managing a baby per year for five years. They loved each other though and had no regrets about any of the children.

Unfortunately, Count Dooku soon claimed that the Republic was corrupt and tried provoking people into leaving the Republic. He soon tried to get his fellow Count's to do the same for Serenno, but for the Empire. Dooku was soon stripped of his nobility and forced to flee Serenno and Imperial space with assassins in pursuit. Dooku would never know peace due to his attempted treason.

Six sectors did join the Alliance though and seventeen joined the Peverell Empire. The Sith must have felt so heartbroken over the rejection... it was like they were a complete non-entity. They weren't getting that many systems, worlds, or sectors, but Harry knew that they were persistent and would eventually get the numbers they needed to wage war.

When Padmé's reign as Queen ended, she was requested to serve as Naboo's senator, which Harry was disappointed with, but still supportive of. Harry had hoped that he and Padmé could be devoted parents, but duty called and Padmé answered. At least they were both immortal and had plenty of time for that.
