'Word' means someone is thinking
Chapter 2
Harry
On the highest point off his ship "The Marauder" stood Captain Harry Potter. Even though he was seventeen, almost eighteen, he's been the captain of "The Marauder" for almost 3 years.
He looks very proud as he stands there with his knee-length black leather boots, his dark pants and his clean white shirt. Also he has a red bandana on his left wrist while on his other wrist he has a leather band for protection.
'It has been 14 years already since I last saw Hermione' he thinks as he looks to the sky. He remembers it like it was yesterday.
Flashback
'Let me go!' little Harry says as he's dragged away from Hermione. 'Don't worry Harry. We're not going to harm you.' The man that holds him says. As Harry looks at his attacker he recognizes him. 'Is that you Uncle Sirius?'
'Yes it's me Harry. Now hurry up we have to go.' Sirius says to him. 'But I want to stay with Hermione.' Harry says. 'I'll explain it to you once we're on the ship.' Sirius says to him.
Once they were on the ship Sirius took Harry to his hut and explained to him that his mother and father were secretly privateers and that they made a map on which they could see all the seven seas, The Marauder's Map.
He also told Harry that their fleet used to exists out of 4 ships, The Marauder, The Grim, The Werewolf and the Scully Rat.
'The Marauder' belonged to Harry's parents; 'The Grim' was from Sirius; 'The Werewolf' was Remus Lupin's ship and 'The Scully Rat' belonged to Peter Pettigrew.
He also told Harry the story why his parents are dead.
His parents were doing great at sea, but then, when is mother was pregnant, a prophecy was made. In short it said that Harry had to beat Lord Voldemort, the captain of "The Dark Mark", or get killed himself.
After they heard the prophecy Harry's parents went to Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard alive and there friend, and he said to them: 'We'll place your ship under a fillius charm so nobody knows where you are, until Harry is old enough to face Voldemort'.
So after the ship was placed under the charm they decided to take it easy and to raise Harry. They also visited their friends the Grangers who are Hermione's parent sometimes.
They were sure that Voldemort would never find them, but they thought wrong. It appeared that they hadn't used Sirius as there secret keeper, or even Remus, but they used Peter, because they thought Voldemort would never think of him as their secret keeper.
But Peter turned out to be Voldemort's spy and betrayed Lily and James. But when Voldemort shot the killing curse at Harry the spell backfired and hit him back. So Voldemort was presumed death. Sirius had been the one that found Harry, but a few hours later Dumbledore arrived and told Sirius to give Harry to him.
Sirius couldn't do anything else but to listen to this old teacher and gave Harry, because he knew everybody thought that he betrayed Lily and James.
So Harry went to the Grangers and Sirius left to find Peter.
But after four years Sirius for the first time opened James and Lily's hut. There he found their will. The will clearly said that Sirius had to raise Harry in case anything would happen.
The will also said that they wanted Sirius to train Harry, so that when he had to face Voldemort he would be prepared. But they also didn't want everybody knows where he is. That is why Sirius thought up the idea to kidnap Harry.
After Harry got onto "The Marauder", Sirius had to convince him not to send an owl to Hermione saying he was safe. If he did Voldemort could track them down.
So Sirius began to train Harry. He taught him how to use a sword, a gun, a knife and all other weapons they had. He also taught him how to fight without weapons.
After 2 years they contacted Dumbledore, to help Harry learning how to use magic.
But even after 2 years Harry still wanted to know how Hermione was doing, if she was safe, so they send Remus Lupin to her as a tutor. So now once every month Harry gets a letter about how Hermione is doing.
When Harry is fifteen they ran into "The Scully Rat". After a big fight in which Sirius killed Peter, Sirius was killed by his nice Bellatrix.
Harry was crushed afterwards. That's when he became the captain of "The Marauder". But he wasn't happy about it. He lost hid godfather, uncle and friend.
End Flashback
'He captain! Are you going to stand there the whole day or what?' As Harry looks down he sees it's his deck master and best friend Ron Weasley.
He first met Ron and his two brothers Fred and George when he was on shore for a few things. They knew he was a privateer and came aboard just like that.
Al three of them had bright red hair and are very loyal and brave.
When they found out that he was the Harry Potter princess Hermione used to talk about they wanted to tell her but Harry told them not to.
'I'll be right there Ron, give me a minute.' Harry says. 'Well you better get down here soon or you'll miss the twins fighting again.' After he heard this Harry grasps a rope and glides down.
When the twins fight it's always fun to see. 'Go Fred go' yells Seamus Finnegan. 'No come on George' yells Dean Thomas. They always place bets on which one of the twins will win.
'What is it about this time?' Harry asks Ron. 'About cleaning the deck.' 'That's all?' 'Well you know them, always fighting about nothing.' 'I'll be in my hut if you need me.' 'Okay mate.'
When Harry walks into his hut he thinks about his new mission. Last moth he received a letter from uncle Remus that Hermione is turning eighteen and that her parents are giving a great party to celebrate it.
After he read the letter Harry decided to go to the party. He wants to see Hermione for such a long time no that he can't wait any longer. And a ball is a perfect way to.
He may be a pirate but Sirius also taught him to be a gentleman, because it can be a handy way to get some new information and he is of course a Lord.
The party is held today so he actually couldn't wait. He wants to see if Hermione changed a lot or if she still is the sweet Hermione he remembered from 14 years ago.
He does miss her. He still doesn't get why she affects him so badly. Is it because she had been his only friend, or was it something else? He doesn't really know.
He looks at his clock and sees that it's almost three hour clock. When they arrive at the harbour he and the Weasleys will go to the party. He to see Hermione and they to see their family.
He went beck on deck to warn the Weasleys to get dressed. But when he got there they were already dressed and ready to go.
'What is this? How come you're done already?' 'Well my dear captain if you wouldn't have stayed in your hut the whole time you would have seen that were almost there. And we can't wait to see our family again.' Says George.
As Harry looks at the horizon he sees that their only about 10 minutes from shore. 'Why didn't you tell me it we're almost there already? Now I have to hurry.' 'Well, we thought that you're dressed already. You don't want Hermione to think you can't dress properly for her birthday don't you?' Ron says with a smirk on his face.
As he gives Ron one last glare Harry goes back to his hut to put on his proper outfit. He only has one outfit that he can weir to a royal birthday party, so as he puts on his nice black slacks and his jacket his mind starts to wander again.
'I wonder what Hermione looks like. In all these years Remus never send a describing of her. She'll probably have the same frizzy hair that she had all those years ago. And the same sweet smile. But maybe she'll look completely different maybe she won't even recognise me, or she just forgot me.'
Harry winches back as he sees a hand being waved in front of his face. 'He mate, I've been calling you for a minute already. We're here so let's go already.' Ron tells him.
'Ok mate, I'm sorry I was thinking for a bit there. Let's go. Are the horses ready?'
'Yeah there ready and Prongs can't wait so let's go.' So they went o the deck. As they arrive there are 4 horses waiting for them: Prong, Harry's horse. Pyros who's Ron's, Joke who's Fred's and Prank who's George's.
'Ok man let's go to princess Hermione's birthday party. And let's behave for once in our lives.' Harry says.
And off they are driving to the breathtaking castle that lays before them.
I hope you still know who I am Hermione.
I'm so sorry for letting you wait this long but I have had a though time. I'll think I'll post the next chapter tomorrow or the day after.
O and by the way HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
Hermione Jane Granger.
