A/N- This is a cross over of Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings. Keep in mind that this takes place in Pirates of the Caribbean times, so it's around the early 1700's. I Hope you like it.
Krum Mansion:
Anika Krum was sitting at a table in the large library of the Krum Mansion. She sighed, closing the thick Charms book she had been reading for the last few hours, and looked around the large room, trying to find something to do.
She was about to give up, when she saw an open newspaper on a table nearby. She got up and walked over to it curiously.
The article on the front page talked about someone named Sirius Black falling through a Veil at the British Ministry.
Anika frowned. She remembered reading about the Veil and how to get someone out of it in Dark Art class at Durmstrange, back in her Third Year.
She re-read the article. About halfway through, two sentences caught her eyes.
'Sirius Black is well-known in the Wizarding World for being suspected of betraying the Potter's to You-Know-Who. He is also the Godfather of Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived.'
I need to contact this 'Harry Potter', thought Anika. He must go to Hogwarts.
WhenViktor told her about the Triwizard Tournament, he had mentioned that Harry Potter attended school thereWhen they took summer trips to London, she had learned that almost all Hogwarts students got their school supplies at Diagon Alley.
He will probably be going to Diagon Alley sometime soon…
She stood up and walked out of the library, heading down the long staircase to the first floor to find her father. He spent most of his time in the sitting room, reading.
"Daddy?" she asked sweetly when she finally found him.
"What do you want this time, Anika?"
"Are we going to London this year?" she continued in the same tone.
"We went last year. And the year before, and the year before that." He said.
"But I want to go again this year!" Anika whined, knowing that if she acted like a brat she would probably be able to get what she wanted.
"We're going to Paris this year," said her father firmly.
"We can go to both." She stated hopefully.
"That would take too long. There are only 3 weeks left until school starts."
"But Viktor needs a new wand!" cried Anika, thinking of a perfect way to get to London. It was risky, but she had done it before, and she knew that it would work.
"No, he doesn't." Her Father sounded suspicious now.
"He will." said Anika, completely sure.
"Anika, what are you thinking?" he asked tiredly.
"Oh, nothing, father." She said innocently, wide-eyed.
Her father stared at her for a few moments. He was used to her being a slightly spoiled brat. She'd do almost anything to get what she wanted.
"Alright," he gave up, knowing that if he didn't, she would find a way to make him. It was less painful to just give in. "We'll go to London."
Anika smiled smugly, and left the room.
She went to find Viktor's wand.
He wasn't home, so she went through his room with no trouble. It took nearly an hour, but when she finally found the wand, she quickly snapped it into four pieces. He had hidden it well, but he should have known she would get to it eventually.
Then she calmly turned and left the room.
When Viktor came home later that afternoon, he found the broken pieces of his wand sitting on his pillow. He instantly new what had happened.
"ANIKA SOPHAPHIA KRUM!"A few moments later, Anika calmly walked into the room.
"You called?" she asked sarcastically, then pretended to notice the wand, "Goodness, Viktor, you need to take better care of your things."
"I ought to…" Viktor looked ready to hit her. Thankfully, she was saved when their dad entered the room.
"Who's shouting? What did you do, Anika?"
"Daddy, I didn't do anything," she said, again using the wide-eyed, innocent look, "I just walked in and asked what was wrong, and he nearly hit me…"
"She broke my wand," exclaimed Viktor furiously, "Again!"
"Anika…"
"It's not true. I have not been anywhere near his room or his wand." Protested Anika.
"Anika Krum! I can't believe you've broken Viktor's wand for the thirteenth time!" Her Father didn't believe her lies.
"22nd." muttered Anika under her breath. She regretted it when her brother looked even angrier than before, and her father looked surprised.
"Anika Sophaphia Krum, you are grounded until further notice!"
"But Dad!" exclaimed Anika, who honestly hadn't expected to be punished.
"No buts, Anika." Said her father.
"But Dad!" cried Anika again, shocked. She'd only been grounded twice in her life.
"Go to your room, now." Said her dad.
"Dad –"
"Now!"As Anika stomped to her room, she muttered under her breath, "This is so unfair! It's not my fault Viktor is an idiot. He should learn to lock his door… Wait, I could unlock it with no wand anyway."
She waved her hand angrily toward her bedroom door, and it flew open, violently slamming against her wall as it did.
An identical door not far down the hall opened, and her mother stepped out into the hall, a curious expression on her face.
"I heard shouting. What's wrong?"
"I'm grounded for breaking Viktor's wand!"
"Again?!" asked her mother, caught between surprised and amused.
"Yes, again," muttered Anika, before adding "He deserved it."
"Why did he deserve it?" her mom asked.
"Because he said I'll never be able to get control of my elemental powers, and blah, blah, blah." said Anika, rolling her eyes. It wasn't a complete lie; Viktor had said things like that several times.
"How long are you grounded this time?"
"'Until further notice'" repeated Anika with a sigh, "Can you un-ground me?" she added hopefully.
"No." her Mother shook her head, "I can't."
As Anika entered her room, she waved her hand fiercely at the door behind her, and it slammed shut.
She sat down at her desk and stared out the window. The newspaper had mentioned that Harry Potter had a best friend named Ron Weasley. She would write to him, she decided, and find out when she could meet them at Diagon Alley.
Dear Ronald Weasley,
My name is Anika Krum. I'm writing because I have information that may help your friend. Could you please inform me of the date you will be visiting Diagon Alley?
Anika Krum
She tied the parchment to the leg of her owl, Midnight. Midnight was a Snowy owl, but her spots were reversed. She was dark black with tiny white spots.
"Take this to Ronald Weasley of England, please." She said, and with that, Midnight flew off.
The Burrow:
Ron was sitting in his bedroom, wondering what his Mum would fix for lunch.
Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and most of the other Weasley's were all downstairs. Ron had left the room when Harry and Hermione started talking about O.W.L results. He had been doing his best to not think about the tests all summer. He was sure he had failed at least one.
He looked up as an owl flew in through one of his open windows. For a moment he thought it was Hedwig, but then he noticed the reversed colors.
The owl looked at him impatiently, and he frowned, grabbing the letter from it.
He read the letter, shocked that the famous Anika Krum would write to him. She was as famous as her brother, and everyone expected her to be the next big Quidditch player.
Without a single thought, he grabbed a piece of parchment and began to write a reply. He didn't even pause to think that she could be a Death Eater.
Krum Mansion:
Three days later, Anika finally received the reply from Weasley. She had been getting desperate, and she had been sure that Weasley had either thrown the letter away, or thought she was a supporter of Voldemort.
She opened the parchment quickly, and skimmed over the letter.
Krum,
We're going to Diagon Alley on August 25.
Ron Weasley.
"He would never survive in the Muggle world." muttered Anika, rolling her eyes.
They were Flooing to London in two days, which meant she would have time to plan a way to get away from her parents to meet with Potter and Weasley. Thankfully, they would be in Diagon Alley on the same day.
Anika hid the letter in a drawer of her desk, and walked downstairs. She had come up with a possible way to get un-grounded, but she wasn't sure it would work.
"Father?" she asked carefully, "Could we talk about un-grounding me?"
Her father nodded; though it was clear he didn't really expect to be given a good reason to un-ground her.
"I'll pay for Viktor's new wand when we go to Diagon Alley." she offered, "But only if you un-ground me. I don't wish to spend my vacation in the Hotel Room."
She knew that if she stayed grounded, she would not be allowed to leave the Hotel often, and if she did she would have to be with one of her parents. She also knew that they would never approve of her plan to rescue Sirius Black. They, like most of the Wizarding World, were sure that he was a dangerous, dead, criminal.
"We'll ask Viktor," decided her father after a few moments, "If he forgives you, and you pay for the wand, then I suppose you shouldn't be grounded."
"Thank you, Daddy!" she exclaimed. She didn't call him 'daddy' very often. Only when she was really happy or wanted something.
Then, she was off to find Viktor. She knew he wouldn't want her to be un-grounded, so she would have to bribe him.
When she got to his room on the third floor, she knocked impatiently on the door.
It swung open a few moments later, an annoyed looking Viktor glaring at her.
"What do you want?" he demanded.
"Father is going to ask you a very important question. I'm here to bribe you into saying yes." said Anika.
"You never play around with words, do you?" asked Viktor sarcastically.
"Not when I really want something." replied Anika seriously.
"I'm listening." said Viktor reluctantly.
"Okay. I told Father that I would pay for your new wand, if he would un-ground me. He said that he would ask you. If you forgave me, and you were alright with me paying for your wand, then he would agree."
"So," Anika continued, getting to the point, "What am I going to have to bribe you with to get you to say yes?"
"Hmm… So, you pay for the new wand, and Dad un-grounds you?" He seemed to be thinking hard about it.
"If you say yes," agreed Anika.
"You hate Caitlin," stated Viktor.
Anika nodded. Caitlin, Viktor's girlfriend, was sweet and innocent when Viktor was around, but Anika couldn't help but think that she was up to no good. Something about her seemed to scream 'danger'.
"I will say yes…If you are civil and polite to her… for an entire year."
Anika winced, but nodded in agreement after a moment.
"Once the year is over," continued Viktor, "You can be as rude as you like, whether we are still together or not."
The idea of being polite to Caitlin was horrendous enough to make Anika feel sick. But if it meant she could meet with Potter and Weasley, she knew she had no choice. Sirius Black's life was at risk, and Anika would not allow his death to be her fault.
Besides, she could always break the deal once she was un-grounded.
"Alright. I agree." she said.
Viktor nodded.
"Then I will tell Father that I agree to forgive you and let you pay for the wand."
"Pleasure doing business with you, then." said Anika formally.
With that, she left the room.
Once Anika was back in her own bedroom with the door locked, she fell into her chair.
How can he expect me to be nice to that- that spoiled…woman! she wondered furiously, And how could I agree?!
Anika sighed. I have to meet with Potter and Weasley. If this is the only way to do it, then I'll be nice to her. But once a year's over, she's going to get it!
Wait a second… He never said exactly when that year would start…I will just say that it starts right when he agrees with Dad.The next morning, Anika woke up to someone pounding at her door. For a moment, she wondered if Death Eaters were attacking the house, the dismissed the thought. The wards would keep them out.
"Anika, are you ready yet? We're leaving in ten minutes!" exclaimed her father's voice, when the pounding stopped for a moment.
Oh no, though Anika, I overslept!
"I'm almost ready, Father!" she called, leaping out of bed, "Just a moment!"
She used her special powers to summon her clothes and brush her teeth. She scrambled around the room, looking for anything she might have missed and packing things in her suitcase with her powers.
She rushed out of her room with three minutes to spare, and hurried downstairs to her family, who were gathered around the large fireplace in the sitting room.
"Where've you been?" asked Viktor, looking at her with amusement.
"I just woke up when Father knocked on my door," she said, gasping for breath.
"Well, it's time to go," said their Father, grabbing a pot of glittering green Floo powder, "Viktor, Floo with your sister."
"I can Floo by myself!" protested Anika instantly, "I'm fifteen for goodness sake!"
Her Father gave her a stern look.
"Anika…"
"Fine." she muttered unhappily, knowing better than to press him in the morning. She unhappily snatched a handful of Powder and stepped toward the flames. Viktor quickly followed.
"The Leaky Cauldron, London!" said Anika, tossing the Powder into the fire and jumping in, with Viktor right behind.
The 25th of August:
Anika, her Mother, her Father, and Viktor were standing in Ollivanders wand shop. Anika looked impatiently out the shop window, trying to judge the time by the position of the sun.
If she split up from her parents too soon, they would know something was up. It had been nearly an hour, and she hoped that Potter and the Weasley's had arrived at the Alley by now.
"Viktor, here is the money for your new wand." she handed him ten Galleons, "Father, can I please go shopping? This is terribly boring."
"Alright, Anika. Go." he said.
"Thank you!" called Anika, rushing out of the shop.
Walking down the crowded Alley, she spotted Hagrid standing outside of a new shop called Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. He was looking closely at anyone who walked by, and she immediately knew he was guarding something.
Or someone.
"Hello, Hagrid!" she called, walking toward him.
"Well, if it innit lit'le Arika Krum!" he said happily.
Anika ignored the fact that he mispronounced her name. He'd been doing it ever since they first met, in the Magical Alley near her home. He had been raiding the pet store for any dangerous creatures to play with.
"What are you doing here, Hagrid?" she asked, playing innocent.
"I'm guardin' 'Arry Potter!" exclaimed Hagrid loudly, not bothering to lower his voice.
Inside the shop, Harry heard that, and smacked himself on the forehead. Could Hagrid keep nothing secret?
"May I go inside and speak with him?" Anika asked sweetly.
"O' course!" said Hagrid, "'Ow do ya know 'im?"
"Sorry, Hagrid, that's classified information."
With that, Anika turned and walked into the shop.
It was crowded, but after a few moments of searching she was able to spot the famous fiery red hair of a Weasley. His picture had been in the paper, and there was no way she could forget such an… interesting hair color any time soon.
Immediately, she began walking forward, not taking her eyes off of the bright red head to make sure she didn't loose him in the crowd. Wherever Weasley was, Potter would most likely be nearby.
She just hoped that she'd spotted the right Weasley.
After a few moments, she was standing quite close to them, and saw that the boy next to Weasley with the messy black hair must have been Potter.
"Are you Harry Potter?" she asked formally.
He turned to face her, looking slightly confused. "Yes. Do I know you?"
"No. But I have some information that may help you." She replied.
"What kind of information? And your name is…?"
"I'm Anika Krum." She said, suddenly remembering her manners, "And I have information about the Veil."
Weasley, who had turned to ask Harry something, spotted her strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. He immediately knew who she was.
He grabbed Potter by the arm and pulled him away quickly. Anika noticed with amusement that she could still hear every word they said.
"Do you know who she is?!" demanded Ron.
Harry gave him an odd look. "Anika Krum," he replied, as though that was a stupid question, "She just told me."
"That's Viktor Krum's little sister!" hissed Ron, "Everyone expects her to be the next big Quidditch player- along with you."
Ron was wide-eyed and excited. He clearly worshipped Anika Krum.
"And she's talking to you!" he finished, seeming shocked.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," began Anika, a bit disturbed, "But I can't stay long. My parents will come looking for me."
"Sorry," said Harry. Ron just stared at her, google-eyed.
"I know a way to get your Godfather out of the Veil," said Anika quickly, "But it's Dark Magic, and we will not have a chance to try it until after Voldemort is defeated."
"She said You-Know-Who's name!" mumbled Ron to himself, "She's so brave!"
Harry frowned at him, "I've said his name dozens of times."
Why is Ron acting like an obsessed fan? He wondered.
"Why can't we try until after the war?" he asked out loud.
"Well, there are so many Aurors guarding the Ministry now, it would be almost impossible." She said.
"But isn't Sirius… dead?" asked Harry.
"Not really. He has everything he needs to survive, he just can't get out. Only three people have ever fallen through the Veil. Two died from insanity, but if your Godfather was able to survive 12 years in Azkaban, he should be fine until you defeat Voldemort."
"Is there any way I could send a letter to you if we need your help?" he asked, still taking in the information.
"When school starts again, on the first of September, send them to Durmstrange. Until then, I will be at Krum Manor."
"But Durmstrange is an all-boys school," said Harry, confused.
Anika smiled slightly, "I'm the only girl there. My brother teaches there now, and our parents wanted to keep me close to home, so they made a deal with the Headmaster to allow me to attend school with Viktor once I was old enough."
They went silent and turned toward the door as it swung open. Anika's smile disappeared as Viktor walked in with Caitlin at his side.
Viktor walked over to them, "Anika, Mother and Father are looking for you."
"Alright. Hello Caitlin, I didn't know you would be here." She added sweetly.
Caitlin gave her the usual 'I'm better than you' look, "I came to watch your brother play Quidditch."
Anika forced a smile, "I forgot that the Quidditch match was… tomorrow. I've been so busy thinking of other things that I forgot to keep up with the matches."
She turned to Viktor, "What do Mother and Father want me for?"
"Something about going to Muggle London and getting you new dresses." He said uncaringly.
Anika frowned, "I told Mother, I don't want English dresses! It's impossible to breath in them. I want Spanish dresses. They're far more pretty."
"Tell that to Mum." said Viktor, rolling his eyes.
Anika crossed her arms. "I will. Goodbye." she added to Harry and Ron, though Viktor didn't notice.
As Anika left the shop, Caitlin turned to Viktor.
"Why is your sister being nice all the sudden? Has she finally come to her senses?"
"I have no idea, but let's try to keep it going as long as we can." Said Viktor innocently.
The dress shop in Muggle London a bit later that day:
"Why do I have to wear this ridiculous thing?" asked Anika angrily, "It's ugly!"
Her Mother stepped back and looked the dress up and down, frowning.
"You are right," she said after a few moments. She turned to the dressmaker, "We need something far more pretty."
"Why do I have to wear English dresses?" continued Anika.
"Because all of you're other dresses are getting… old." said her Mother. The dresses still fit, but Anika had had most of them for at least two years, and they were getting very out-of-date.
The dressmaker brought out a beautiful pale blue dress covered in gold lace. It was extremely fluffy and weighed at least twenty pounds.
Anika quickly tried it on and stepped out of the dressing room.
"Can't… breath…" she gasped, "Too… tight…"
"It fits you perfectly!" exclaimed her Mother happily.
"Still… can't… breath…" muttered Anika.
"Anika Krum, stop that! I know you can breath perfectly well in English dresses, it is Chinese dresses that you have trouble breathing in at the moment." snapped her Mum.
"You can wear that to the special event tomorrow," added her Father. He made sure not to say 'Quidditch match', do to the fact that Muggles surrounded them.
And with that they left the store. Anika had gotten three new dresses.
The Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings crossovers won't start until near the end of the story, possibly not even until the sequel, so they won't be around for a while. Please review!
