A Pirate’s Tail

Chapter One:

Draco glared into the viridian gaze of his captor, biting his tongue against his usual snobbish remarks concerning unshaven men and certain predilections they had for barnyard animals. This man, this pirate, was all that stood between Draco and his freedom, but there was little he could do about that in his current position. Trying not to be obvious, he tugged at the ropes binding his wrists and found them to be as tight now as they had been five minutes ago.

“They won’t loosen.” The voice stilled his actions and he glanced up sullenly. “You’re a rather pretty thing to be running around without any bodyguards.”

The voice that came from the ruggedly handsome face was hardly more than a purr and Draco fought his immediate reaction to it.

‘Ignore it. Ignore him. He isn’t even my type. I don’t do outdoorsy types at all,’ he reminded himself harshly.

“Are you just going to ignore me? That’s rather rude, don’t you think, seeing as how I rescued you from those pirates.”

“Excuse me! You’re no better than them. You’re a pirate too, you know, and I’m not so stupid as to believe otherwise.” Draco told himself that the edge to his voice wasn’t quite a shriek, but it was getting close. Ten deep breaths later and the Malfoy mask slid back into place. “I demand that you release me at once. Do you have any idea who I am?”

“Oh, I know who you are, young Lord Draco Malfoy. You are Lord Lucius Malfoy’s only son and heir, and he is the Prince Regent’s unofficial right-hand man. In the Americas, we call you thugs, but I suppose that when you have a title, that’s a bit… common? And while you might be right about my trade of choice, you will notice that while “they” were many, I am but one. A pirate, yes, but a lone one, which makes me the lesser evil.”

He stepped closer, running his hand through Draco’s soft, white-blond hair before jerking back hard. Silver eyes widened perceptibly, and Harry smirked. “The name is Captain Harry Potter. Not a frightening name, nor a truly amazing one, but it’s mine, and what’s more, until I’ve received the ransom, you are mine as well.”

“Now see here, you uncouth, foul-smelling… pirate! I will not tolerate being man-handled like this.”

“Oh yes, that’s right. I’d heard that particular rumor about you. As fey as water is wet, but you don’t bottom for anyone. Tell me, is that the reason Lord Malfoy senior hasn’t put a stop to your degenerate ways?”

Draco felt his cheeks darken with anger and opened his mouth to shout something truly horrible, only to have a wad of dirty cloth shoved into it and tied in place. “That’ll keep you quiet. My cook, she’s the only other one on board, is attending to dinner. I will return once I’ve eaten.”

It wasn’t until long after the door had slammed shut that it occurred to Draco that he still knew nothing about his captor, aside from a rather plebian sounding name. ‘And he speaks rather eloquently, not at all like other men of his ilk. I wonder…’ He shifted in place, the ropes across his bare chest chafing his soft skin. As he stared out the tiny window opposite him, Draco wondered if his father would even bother paying the ransom. With Lady Narcissa gone, he had taken a new mistress. It was only a matter of time before they married and she gave him a new child, and then Draco would no longer be the only one in line for his father’s title.

‘I’ve got to get out of here quickly. This is all going so wrong!’

“Gin,” Harry greeted as he slid onto a stool in the ship’s galley.

“How’s our guest?” she inquired, a dark red brow raised high with mock concern.

“Hm,” Harry grunted in return. “We set sail at dawn.”

“I thought you were waiting for a ransom.” She looked formidable standing with her fists on her hips and he swallowed deeply from the glass she had set before him.

“I am, only I don’t trust his Lordship not to try and steal back what I rightly…”

“Stole?”

“Aye. But you have to admit, we’re a right bit better than that lot.”

Ginevra Weasley shivered as she began thrusting soiled dishes into the sink. “I wonder if our guest realizes that those pirates were hired by none other than the Prince Regent Voldemort?” She spat into the draining water, clearing away the foul taste such a name always left on her tongue.

“Seeing as how the rat was nowhere to be seen when we came abreast the Dark Mark, I’ll lay money down that he hasn’t yet made that connection. We’ll make port just short of Liverpool. Your brothers have assured me that they will be ready to transfer our cargo upon docking, and then we’ll head out once more for Scotland.”

“Those worthless slags?” she snorted.

“Last I checked, they were both very much male.”

“Please, don’t spoil my supper. George might not be that bad, but Fred’s a right arse and he’ll torment your prisoner.” She paused as she stirred the stew she had simmering. “What about Ronald and Hermione?”

Harry smiled at the thought of his two closest friends. “They’ll be meeting us in Glasgow and from there we’ll travel by horse to Hogwarts Castle.”

“And the Malfoy heir?”

“Will come too. I’ve a price on my head, love, so it’s not safe to remain here in the open and he’s worth a pretty penny to the Malfoy family.”

“So we set sail then? Just the three of us for now?”

“Aye.” Harry grinned at her over the last of his ale. “A good thing for me you’re as quick on your feet on deck as you are below.”

“A good thing for you the crew had this ship ready to set sail when you borrowed it. Otherwise, we’d have not been able to escape.”

“All in the timing, love,” he replied smugly.

She waited a beat then said, “Is that it then? You, me, Fred ‘n’ George, Ron and Hermione? And the pretty lad? There’s been rumor of a shortage of rye this year. Not enough to cause alarm, but we’ll want to make certain we’ve enough to feed the crew. You’re already at seven, a right unlucky number in my book, no matter what other folk say. Much more than that…” Her tone took on a deadly note.

Harry had the grace to blush as he snatched up a roll and backed towards the door. “I may have left out a few people. Um, you know Seamus and Dean will be in Liverpool, so they’ll be joining us and we’re to stop at Douglas on the Isle of Man to pick up Neville. Cedric is waiting with Hannah somewhere near Manchester, so he’s going to make his own way to Hogwarts Castle with her. Possibly the gypsy mot we met last summer, Luna, will be joining us as well as one or two more.” He ducked as a bowl flew by and winced when one of the shards grazed his cheek.

“Harry Potter, you better make certain I don’t see your face until we make port again or I’ll make you right useless to the twins!”

As he dodged another missile he called out, “And Bill sends his love, love. Fleur is with child again, so they won’t be joining us and Charles, I mean Charlie, is visiting with your folks.” He missed any response she made as he ran into the Captain’s quarters and slammed the door behind him.
