The Sith could control their emotions to a certain degree, but even the most powerful and most controlled of them could not keep their thoughts from turning what could only be termed evil. Betrayal and a lust for power marked Dark Side users just as much as an end justifying the means frame of mind.
Lily couldn't say if betrayal had been the case on Earth among the Death Eaters themselves. On Earth there had only ever been one Dark Lord at a time with lots of underlings none of whom had the power necessary to challenge their Lord. Of course betrayal was one of the most dangerous weapons Dark wizards used against their enemies, else her husband and she would both be among the living, so perhaps it evened out. A lust for power and a willingness to use any means to achieve their ends certainly marked most Dark Lords she'd ever read about.
So she couldn't argue that point. But the speed with which a person who felt uncontrolled anger could fall to the Dark Side here was worrisome. It made her glad her son didn't seem to feel anger like his father often had, a hot raging thing. The only times she had seen Harry even feel anger was when they realized how much slavery there was on Ryloth.
The diminutive Grand Master also convinced Lily that the political necessity of doing away with the Army of Light had been necessary. A kind despot was after all still a despot, and she was a firm believer in democracy as 'the best type of government yet found', a phrase which once explained cause the ancient Grand Master to chortle in laughter. But Yoda could notconvince her that forcing the Order to forbid marriages and such like had been just as necessary, and indeed he began to see her side of things after her revelation about the numbers of Force users on her planet.
From there Yoda asked for Lily to explain how she and Harry had come to be on Ryloth. At first she tried to hold back, but Yoda had been able to tell she was prevaricating, and drew out much of the truth from her. About the horcrux, the piece of a soul which had been in Harry's scar and about the way he had come to wishing himself somewhere safe so hard. She even told him about the moment in-between, interested in how the ancient alien would take it. Yoda even got out of Lily the reason why she, Harry and James had gone into hiding in the first place.
While Tholme and Giiett were now reeling from one surprise too many even for them, Yoda simply nodded, as if he had expected it all along. "Possible it is, a different dimension you come from. The talents you describe, known to us regardless of distance they would have been."
Further, Yoda knew the Force had changed, knew the future had changed, the ripples of that affect were all around them, within the young ones that interacted with Lily and Harry and even within the Jedi, and the warp and weave of the Unifying Force. Even if he didn't have anything to compare it to Yoda was certain of that and he knew that Harry's arrival was the reason behind it.
Meditating on it for a few moments Yoda reflected on whether or not Harry was the Chosen One of the Jedi prophecy as he might have been on his own planet, the one supposed to return balance to the Force. He had never really been a proponent of that idea, believing that the Force balanced itself, there was no point to trying to attribute any human understanding of that term on something so vast and powerful as the Unifying Force.
Yet the boy, here he is. The Force, some reason behind it, surely. That Force Construct, never seen the like have I, a thing of Light and fierce defense it was. Question their origins I can to a degree, but question their goodness I cannot.
"In any event, I refuse to let my son be in the Order if he has to take the Jedi Oath as it is administered today." Lily said, cutting into Yoda's thoughts and bringing the discussion back on track. "I will not let Harry cut off himself off from feelings like that, off from being a human rather than some simple conduit for the Force as you all think of it. And worse, from having a relationship in the future, that is part and parcel of being alive in my opinion."
The ancient Grand Master opened his eyes and nodded formally to the woman now hovering in the air above him. Other Jedi might have tried to force them to conform, might have questioned their story, but Yoda did not, and would not. He could no more believe these two were of the Dark than he could believe they were not here for some purpose. That Force construct which had sung to his senses of the Light told him the first, and Lily's tale told him the second. Harnessing the two of them for the Order might well lead to that balance the prophecy spoke of, it only in the Order itself rather than the Force.
"Agree I will," he said softly. "Trained in the Old Oath Harry will be, but away from the temple."
Tholme nodded as did Micah, but his mind was on something else. "Very few masters will understand why Harry is given special treatment, and he and Lily represent too much power for us to let the Senate know of their presence. Many Senators distrust Jedi, and if we can start using such powers we will seem even more fearsome to them. Your skills need to be kept away from the rest of the Order for now for the most part."
"Filter new skills into the rest of the Order slowly we must, a test bed this clan of younglings will be. Continue to train the children aboard this ship you will?" Lily nodded and Yoda went on. "Also compile notes you will about combat abilities which cross over. Taught they will to only students of your choosing."
