Harry woke up when he heard knocking on his door, he walked over to the door and opened it to see Remus.

"Hi Uncle Remus, what's wrong?" he asked wondering why his Uncle woke him so early, Remus gave him a scroll of parchment.

"It was just sent here by owl, it's from Malfoy" he said, Harry's anger flared at just hearing the name of that traitorous family.

He unrolled the letter and began to read....

Harry Potter,

As we both know my Father was captain before your murderous Father killed him.

I have knowledge that you become nineteen soon which means you rightfully become Captain, however, if you are not married someone who is and is related to someone who has been Captain can become it instead of you.

Once you become of age I will come for my ship.

Draco Malfoy

Harry toar up the parchment in anger, "this can't be right can it?" he asked gesturing to the shreds, his Uncle nodded.

"He can't be Captain, he is just like his Father who nearly killed us all with his foolishness and greed, how can I get married in less than a month" he said frustrated.

"There are some lovely girls your age on this ship who would love to marry you" Remus suggested.

Harry rolled his eyes the 'lovely girls' on this ship were nothing but disgusting wenches with no respect.

"What about a girl on land?" Sirius offered as he came in the room, Harry rolled his eyes again.

"All the girls around this area are either snobby or would scream or even faint at the sight of an insect" he said, Sirius laughed.

"I will go on land and see what girls there are, you will need to stay here" Sirius said, Harry nodded.

"Try and find someone of age for girls of course, not snobby, she cant be scared easily, oh and not really girly" he said, Sirius chuckled at the very narrow list of girls that would leave and went.

Once on land he began to walk around and keep an eye out,there was a lot of people but no one seemed to be right yet.

Inside a shop he listened to some girls as he pretended to look for something, one began to squeal.

"That colour is so cute, it so suits you Lavender" one girl said squealing again, Sirius sighed, these were definitely not the right girls.

As he was about to leave something caught his attention, "Princess Ginny acts just like her brothers, I am surprised she is a girl" one said looking through more colours.

"I know, did you see her the other day, she actually went inside that filthy and disgusting forest, she ended up covered in soil and leaves and she didn't even care" the one Sirius thought was Lavender said.

"That's nothing, when we were trying on new dresses she waited outside, when we came out she was holding a toad saying it was cute, ew!" one said, Sirius thought for a moment, maybe he should see this Princess they were talking about.

He quickly exited the shop and went up to the palace above the village, he saw a girl lying on her back with her eyes closed.

A black and white puppy was lying next to her, footsteps could be heard so Sirius quickly hid as he saw a young girl with bushy brown hair call the princess.

They began to talk and Sirius smiled, this girl seemed like the opposite of the girls in that shop, he heard them mention suitors so she was becoming of age.

The two girls left with the dog, Sirius hurried away from the palace and ran back to the ship to tell his godson.

Once he was back on the ship he went to main room, Harry smiled at the sight of his godfather "well?" he asked.

"There is a girl I found which you would like, she is already getting suitors but doesn't seem happy about it, she seems kind, she also seems to like adventure and is definitely not like the other girls" he explained, Harry thought this girl sounded alright.

"She has red hair which goes down her mid back, she has brown eyes, kind of short" he said, Harry nodded, this girl sounded pretty.

It was decided that Sirius would go back and get her that night when it was dark, Harry made sure one of the rooms were ready for her.

*

Later that day just before dark Sirius went back to the palace, the Princess was riding a horse.

He went into the trees and watched as she rode around the field, the puppy was running around and barking at nothing in particular.

He moved away from the puppy and silently cursed when the girl looked up and was looking straight at him.

She rode closer to the trees, Sirius quickly cast a disillusionment charm and stayed quiet as she looked into the trees, she shook her head and rode back to the palace.

Sighing in relief Sirius followed her as she locked the horse away and went inside, he tried his best to keep up with her and found himself in her bedroom.

He stayed in the shadows as she disappeared into what seemed to be a walk in closet, once she was back out she was in a knighting gown and grabbed a book before jumping on her bed and sitting cross legged.

"Aren't pirates amazing Max" she said smiling as the puppy barked and wagged it's tail, Sirius grinned.

She quickly stood up and jumped off her bed, Sirius tensed as she grabbed her wand, he relaxed when she pointed it at the dog.

"You scurvy dog, you dare challenge me?" she asked and the dog barked, Sirius watched as she began to run around her room pretending to fire her wand.

"Ar, the treasure is this way Max" she said to the puppy who was running in circles on the bed and barking while jumping on it's back legs.

Sirius's disillusionment charm faded and the dog suddenly growled at him before barking, the girl tensed "what's wrong Max?" she asked.

Sirius walked closer to her, she turned and her eyes widened when she saw him, he quickly grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth.

Sirius barked at the dog before casting a stunning spell and another disillusionment charm before going back to the awaiting ship.

He went into the Captain's study where Harry spent most of his time and saw him looking over a few maps, when Harry saw the girl he thought she was more beautiful then he first thought.

"Well done Sirius, I didn't expect you back so soon, take her below to the room and lock her in there" he said, Sirius nodded and left with the unconcius girl.

Harry tried to focus on the maps again but couldn't get the beautiful girl out of his head, when he saw her he felt his heart speed up slightly.

*

When he couldn't do any more work he went down to the room the girl was in, he saw her looking out the window, a panicked expression on her face.

She turned around and her eyes widened as she saw him, "hello dear princess, sorry for the rude arrival" he said smoothly as he walked closer to her.

He saw her quickly walk backwards until she hit the wall behind her "H-h-harry Potter" she said and he noticed her gulp.

He sighed, she believed the stories about him and his Father, well if she thought he was a cruel, evil pirate then he might as well talk to her when she would listen to him.

He decided it might be easy to use this to his advantage to get her to behave "I see my name is famous, well if you know who I am then you must be smart enough not to try anything" he said trying to sound as cruel as he could.

He saw her look at his wand and knew she was thinking, when she looked like she decided to do what he said he did his best cruel smirk "Good girl, now I will be back soon, I am sure you will enjoy your stay here" he said.

He left the room and locked the door, immediately he wanted to go back in there and apologize but he knew that for now it would be best if she was scared, she would behave then.

He went back to his study and put his maps away, he didn't like the stories being told about him and his Father.

People thought that his Father was a murderer and that Harry was as bad but it has all been a lie.

The real story behind all of these rumours was that the old Captain was Lucius Malfoy, he was the nastiest and greediest Captain this ship has had.

If anyone tried to stand up to them they were tortured to the point where they would be begging for death which would be when he actually killed them.

One day James Potter stood up to him, there was a battle on an Island, it ended when Lucius became so mad with power that he blew himself up.

The Malfoys were banished to the Island and for revenge they made the story seem like Lucius was nice and James murdered him to be Captain.

James was hunted and hung, the Malfoys were never heard from again until the letter Draco had sent.

Harry's anger rose and his eyes stung slightly at the memories, he would never let a Malfoy be Captain, he was like his Father and more lives would be lost even if it meant basically imprisoning this girl.

He had promised his Father before he was wrongly executed that he would keep any Malfoy from being Captain, he knew that it would mean the crew would suffer and that was the last thing he wanted.

When he thought about the poor girl he felt very guilty, he couldn't see any way around it so he would try and make it as barable as he possibly could for her.
