Chapter Ten

Once Harry and the other three had finished laughing, he turned to Hermione
grinning. �Wonderful te see ye, Hermy. �Owever, I can see yer not too �appy te
see me, so I�ll return once ye�ve calmed down. Anamaria, rope please!�

�Comin� right up Harry!� the woman replied and disappeared. A second later two
ropes were thrown down and Harry and Jack grabbed one each and started to
climb. They climbed faster than the spectators had expected and in seconds were
over the railing.

�One minute �Eadmaster!� Jack said to Dumbledore. �We�ll send down somethin� te
bring ye aboard the Pearl. � He turned towards Harry. �Get o�er te the
Stormeagle and get the Turner�s �ere. They should be there under the meetin�.�

�Aye Capt�n.� Harry nodded before he ran off and out of the sight of the people
on the ground.

Just as Jack had said a small platform was lowered down to the ground. Dumbledore
stepped onto it and was hoisted aboard, then followed by McGonagall, Snape,
Hermione, Draco and Remus. They were walking towards the captains cabin when
they spotted Harry. He was running across the deck of the other ship then he
jumped from one to the other.

�They�ll be there as soon as they can. Five minutes or so says Elizabeth.� He
said to Jack. �Ye know where te find me if ye need me.�

Jack grabbed the young man as he tried to get away, and turned him around
again. �Yer not goin� anywhere but into that cabin, whelp. Ye need te be there
under this meetin� to explain some things te these people. They�re yer
friends.�

Harry rolled his eyes. �Yer just afraid te be left alone with a bunch of
wizards.�

�Are ye mocking yer capt�n?�

�O� course I am. Jack, we�re talkin� �bout me �ere.� Harry looked at the group
of Phoenixes and grinned again. ��E�s an eunuch.� He
said in a stage whisper and received a slap at the back of his head from Jack.

�Ye�ve just earned yerself a long time in the galley.� The pirate-captain
growled. �And once again ye took me line.�

�What can I say? �Tis the Sparrow-charm at work.� Harry shrugged.

Hermione looked from one man to the other as they bickered good-naturally, and
shook her head. She looked at Harry, her eyes pleading him for something. �You
have changed Harry. Where�s the Harry we knew and loved? What happened?�

Harry lost all cheer and pretence and stared at her. �Life is not something to
be taken lightly, but I suspect you already knew that. However, if you cannot
accept the person I�ve become then I�m going back to the Caribbean and leave
you to deal with Voldemort on your own.� He turned and looked at Jack. �I�ll
need a longboat for that, a spell or Time-Turner should do the trick as well.�

�If yer goin� back, then we�re as well.� Anamaria said as she passed them. ��Tis
no use fer us to stay �ere without ye. Besides, yer family.�

�That�s touchin� Ana,� Harry grinned again surprising the Phoenixes at his
mood-changes. �But not enough to get ye outta the trashin� fer throwin� me off
the ship.�

�Ha, try it and die!�

�Ye wanna bet on that one?�

�No bettin� aboard!� Jack cut in, but he was grinning. �Ah, there are the
Turner�s. Let go in mates, ye too Harry.�

�Thank fer tryin� te get me outta this Ana.� Harry said to the woman before
striding past everyone and into the cabin. He was quickly followed by the
others and Jack closed the door after them.

�Get outta me chair!� the pirate ordered and Harry mumbled something that
earned him another slap. �Careful lad, we�ve got guests.�

The green eyes rolled heavenwards, but he placed himself by the door as usual
and listened as Jack explained the whole situation. Harry looked closely at
each and everyone of them in turn and noted the smallest of changes. What
surprised him was that Ron wasn�t there and that Draco was. He also noted the
wooden leg the Slytherin was sporting and smirked in amusement. The others
hadn�t aged or changed much except for new wrinkles and more grey hair. Snape
still looked like a sour bat even with the grey streaking his pitch-black hair.
McGonagall looked around nervously and her eyes constantly flew to the door and
him. Remus and Albus were calmly listening to what Jack had to say. The
Turner�s were chatting quietly in a corner, and Draco and Hermione were looking
back and forth between Harry, the Turner�s and Jack.

The tale took most of the morning and in the end Anamaria came into the cabin
with a tray of fruits.

��Ere ye are mates. Somethin� te put in yer stomachs te calm �em down. Oh, and
Jack. Where�re we gonna eat dinner tonight? At �Ogwarts, or �ere?�

�I really must insist that you dine at Hogwarts.� Dumbledore spoke up at once. �I
am truly interested in hearing more of your exploits Captain Sparrow, and
hearing about Harry�s adventures in the 1600ds would be nice as well.�

�There ye �ave yer answer Ana,� Jack grinned.

The woman nodded. �Aye, I�ve �eard much �bout the �Ogwarts feasts from Harry. S�pposed
te be very good.�

Harry shook his head and focused his eyes on the wizards. �Anythin� ye can tell
me �bout what�s been goin� on since I was more or less kidnapped ten years
ago?�

�There are a number of things, Harry.� Remus said something for the first time
since stepping onto the ship. �Ron has gone over to the Dark Side, Draco was
our spy for a while after Severus was discovered, and school hasn�t been going
on ever since the war started in honest.�

�What �bout Fudge and the Ministry?� Jack asked.

�Fudge is still as stubborn as ever, though I have no idea how you know about
him. I highly doubt that Potter would talk about that moron.� Snape sneered.

�That�s Potter-Sparrow te ye, Snapey.� Harry grinned at the glare he received.

�And those Aurors of yours?� Elizabeth spoke up and lifted Jacqueline onto her
lap. �What about them?�

�They are doing their best, but every day there are less and less of them.� McGonagall
sighed. �There�s something new that kills them off faster than they can blink,
and we haven�t found a single trace of what it might be.�

�Yer old crew, Jack. They�re keepin� their skills sharp, ain�t they?�

�Indeed, that�s interestin�. What I wonder is what Voldie promised �em to
ensure their loyalty.�

�What are you two talking about?� Draco demanded and Jack had to tell the tale
of the cursed treasure of Cortez, the monkey and the moonlight-deal, but
omitted the fact that they too were under the same curse. �That does make it
more interesting.� The blond man agreed in the end.

�And that�s the main reason the rest o� us pirates are �ere, �Eadmaster.� Jack
said. �We�re not �ere te take part in yer magic war, but te get rid o� those
skeletons once and fer all.�

�I understand, Captain Sparrow.� Dumbledore replied with a small smile. �And I
will try to keep you and your pirates out of the main war.�

�Well, now that that�s settles, how �bout that feast. When should we come?�

�Around six I believe.�

Jack grinned and stood up. �We�ll be there.�

......

Hermione watched from a window in Hogwarts as Harry and the rest of the crew of
the Black Pearl worked fast and accurately. Everyone onboard knew their duty
and it was carried out without much complaint. Jack was standing at the helm
shouting out orders as the crew worked.

Her attention went back to Harry again. She didn�t recognise him anymore. He
wasn�t the cute insecure boy she had loved like a brother, but a pirate. A
pillaging, cheating, stealing murderer, something she couldn�t believe had
happened. But then again, she couldn�t have believed that Ron would go to the
Dark Side either. She sighed and turned back to the book she was looking
through but just kept on reading the same line over and over again.

There weren�t all bad sides to Harry�s change, she admitted. He was more
carefree, and she could see the love for the sea and the freedom in his green
eyes; the Black Pearl was his home more than Hogwarts had ever been, she knew
that now. Yet still she wanted her Harry back, the one that needed her help to
solve a new mystery. This Harry didn�t even look like he needed anyone except a
boat and the sea. Just like Jack Sparrow. The same look, the same way of
walking, the same way of talking, the same mannerisms, everything the same.

Once again she forced her eyes back to the book on the table in front of her. She
could be worrying about all these new feelings and thoughts inside her head
later, right now she needed to figure out how to work this Fog Spell. That was
what she assumed that Jack had used to hide the ships, but his fog had been
much, much thicker than the books described it should be.

�Trouble concentrating?� Draco�s voice sounded from behind her.

She didn�t jump anymore when he did this. She�d become used to it.

She nodded. �I can�t get those pirates out of my head.�

�Neither can I, especially Potter. He�s changed hugely since our petty fights
at school. Then, when I looked at him, I knew that we were equal. And now...�
Draco shook his head and sat down opposite her.

�Now what?� Hermione asked and looked up at her lover.

�Now I can�t decide where he stands. I look at him and see a half drunk man
what with that way of walking and his slurred speech, but yet I know that he�d
best me with his eyes closed if I challenged him � and not because of my wooden
leg, but because he�s good. It�s a great disguise, makes people underestimate
him and gives him the upper hand.�

�Always thinking like a Slytherin, aren�t you?� Hermione smiled and squeezed
his hand.

He squeezed back. �What did you expect? Now, how about we try to get some work
done?�

Hermione just grinned and nodded. This time she managed to throw all thoughts
of Harry, the war and pirates out of her head and focused entirely on her work.
Draco watched her for a moment before he went back to his own work. Hermione
the Researcher was back on track, and god help any challenge that arose when
she was in that mood.

......

Once again not the best ending, but I tried. Please tell me what you think. Thanks
to those who took the time to read and review, and I am sorry that this took so
long, but there has been some trouble with the computer.

Please tell
me, do you want a sequel to this?
