Meanwhile a little ways off a pair of men and a young woman were sailing into the port. One of the men was standing on the yardarm of a small fishing dory named the Jolly Mon. The other man was trying to get the water out of the little boat while the young woman half-heartedly helped him. The first man, Captain Jack Sparrow, had his tri-cornered hat sitting atop his head with just a hint of a red bandanna showing through. When he smiled several gold teeth glinted in the sunlight and also gold glinted off almost every finger on his hand. Bits of gold and other things hung from his hair, which was dark and dread locked. The other younger man had no hat just bright ginger hair sticking up in many a direction he had a few rings on his fingers and various necklaces. Both men were dresses in mismatch clothes and were considerably dirty. The young woman indeed was a bit cleaner then her male companions with her bushy matted brown hair pulled back and on her brow were a blue bandana alike to what was under the older man's hat. She wore a plain white tunic and a pair of breeches. The younger couples names were (as we know) Hermione and Ron.

As they pass by a rocky out cropping where five skeletons hung from their necks and a sign that said PIRATES YE BE WARNED Jack who had jumped down to help took of his hat and placed it above his heart. Ron gave a little bow and Hermione stood in silence, out of respect for the dead pirates whom lifestyle they had been living for a while. Here is where I shall explain something where Sarah and Ginny had been tossed into the story that day; Harry had been there for months and Hermione, Ron, and Voldemort (who we will meet in a chapter or two) had been there for years. Today's the day they all meet up again thus being where our story starts.

As the boat sank the three companions stepped on to the dock. The three were then stopped by a harbormaster that then told them that the he needed a shilling and one of their names. Hermione, who was known to worry in these situations, watched Jack discus with the man a deal. He tossed three shillings into the mans book whispered something and walked off. As he walked off Jack saw a small pouch that no doubt was the harbormasters, gave it a shake and put it in his pocket.

------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile back inside the fort Sarah was struggling to breathe. Her face was flushed from the sun and she indeed looked beautiful. Ginny was having the same predicament. But her flushed face had a look of questioning on it because she swore she had seen a man with shocking blonde hair.

------------------------------------------------------

Back at the docks Hermione was breathing comfortably and was watching as every thing slowly fall into place. The three were headed to the navy dock. When they arrived Jack whispered in Ron's ear.

"The Interceptor would be a trifle bit faster do you agree?"

"Aye but the Dauntless would be able to blow those fools out of the water but it's your choice," Ron replied.

"This dock is of limits to civilians," the two of them heard a voice yell.

"Didn't know if I see one I will inform you immediately," Jack said before anyone could say any thing he added, "Some sort of high-toned fancy to do up at the fort? How could it be that you fine gentlemen did not merit an invitation?"

"Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians," one of the men replied.

"A fine job I'm sure but that ship makes this one seem a bit superfluous, really," Jack replied. Ron and Hermione knew it was in their best interest to keep quiet.

"That's true enough but there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed," one of the guards. Ron hid a smile behind his hand.

"That so. I heard of one supposed to be nigh uncatchable… The Black Pearl?"

"There's no real ship as can match the Interceptor." The guard replied.

"The Black Pearl is a real ship. I've seen it," the other guard went. They saw there chance and snuck off while the two were arguing. It took them a while before they noticed the trio had walked onto the ship.

"Get away from there! You don't have permission to be aboard there mates," One of them yelled.

" Sorry but it's such a pretty boat… I mean ship," Jack replied and the other two sniggered.

"What are your names?"

"Smith and this is my brother and his wife."

What is you business in Port Royal Mr. Smith?"

"Yea and no lies."

"Alright then, I confess: I intend to commander a ship of the fleet, pick up more crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, and do some honest piracy."

"I said no lies."

"Perhaps he's telling the truth."

"If he were telling the truth he wouldn't of told us."

"Unless he thought you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to ya," Jack said with a sly smile on his face.

------------------------------------------------------

Back in the fort Ginny was standing with Sarah when Commodore Norrington approached. When he got there he beckoned someone who was behind the girls. Ginny turn to see him and her jaw fell. Draco Malfoy How? He wasn't with them.

"Madams this is Mr. Malfoy," Norrington introduced her enemy to her.

"Hello and please call me Draco," He said taking Ginny's hand and brushing his lips across it. It was all Ginny could do not to flinch back. Slowly shutting her mouth she gave a polite nod. When she saw the Governor approach she sighed with relief.

"Commodore is this the young man you were telling me about?" Governor Swan asked.

"It is, Governor this is Mr. Malfoy he's here to help with navigation and finances on our ships," Norrington replied.

"Ahh I shall let you four talk for a little while," the Governor answered. Norrington led Sarah off and Ginny followed Malfoy.

"Surprised?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"Slightly and unpleasantly," Ginny replied.

"Really well then what about that. See I'm supposed to ask for your hand in marriage you see can't have one marry unless the other does," Draco replied. At that Ginny started backing up in confusion and horror until she accidentally tipped over the edge of the fort plunging to the water bellow. Before Ginny splashed into the water she heard another splash and wondered had Sarah fallen, too?

---------------------------------------------------

Back on the ship Jack, Ron, and Hermione watched as two young women fell from the fort Jack looked at the two seamen.

"Aren't you going to save her?" Jack asked and they both shook their heads and one even confessed that he couldn't swim, "Pride of the King's navy you are Ron I'll need a little help."

two took off there belongings and handed them to the guards warning them not to loose them. After they were a little less weighed down they dived into the water. Ron instantly swam towards the redhead noticing that it was his sister he grabbed a hold of her. The dress she was wearing was awfully heavy. He glanced around noticing that Jack was struggling too. He watched him tear of the girls dress so he did the same. After that it was considerably easier to lift onto the dock. When they got up there they heard Hermione gasp.

"Get those foul contraptions off of them they can't breathe," Hermione yelled. Both Jack and Ron sliced open the corsets and the girls started coughing. Ginny started mumbling something that shouted like Draco. Quickly Ron realized why.

"On your feet," a voice somewhere beside him yelled. Slowly both men stood with swords to their throats. Ron recognized the face with the sword at his neck.

"Now wait a minute fellas," Ron started taking a step back.

"Shot those men," The man next to him yelled. Draco smiled at the thought.

"No," Ginny said and quickly added, "He saved my life."

"Commodore. Surely, you don't intend to kill my rescuer?" Sarah added. Trying to shrug off the coat her father was trying to place on her. Norrington lowered his sword and Draco reluctantly lowered his. In a polite manner Norrington raised his hand for Jack to shake. Draco didn't and neither did Ron. One didn't want to touch the other and vice versa. Jack gingerly raised his hand as well. Ron saw his life before his eyes as Jack grabbed a hold of Norrington's hand. Quickly Norrington grasp tightly and pulled back Jack's sleeve. Ron cringed when he saw capital P on his skin.

"Had a brush up with the East India Trading Company… pirate?" Norrington asked. He noticed a little bit of black showing out from under the sleeve. He pulled the sleeve up a bit farther. He noticed a tattoo, "Well, well… Jack Sparrow isn't it."

"Captain Jack Sparrow. If you please," Jack replied.

"Well I don't see your ship… Captain. And who is this your first mate," Norrington said turning to Ron.

"I'm nobody just and innocent bystander," Ron said quickly.

"He's Ron Weasley, James," Draco said, "I would recognize that hair anywhere."

"Ah where is Mrs. Weasley then," Norrington asked. Ron glanced around and Hermione was nowhere in sight.

"Must have disappeared," Ron said.

"She was here sir," one of the idiots from earlier said.

"You let her get away! The smartest pirate of the age was in your grasps and you let her get away," Norrington yelled.

"Hey I resent that," Jack said.

"We managed to get their things," one said holding out Jack's pistol and bandolier. Ron and Jack remained still as Norrington picked up Jack's pistol.

"No additional shots or powder, a compass that doesn't point north," Norrington said picking up he effects one by one and then unsheathing the sword, "And I half expected it to be made of wood. You have the same don't you Weasley."

"No I don't have the compass but I have a map with a big hole in the middle,"( At Worlds End laugh about ha ha ha screw you Barbossa) Ron replied with a smirk.

"You are, without a doubt, the worst pirates I've ever heard of," Norrington said.

"Ah, but you have heard of us," Jack replied. Norrington huffed. During the whole encounter Draco just stood back and watched the fun. Norrington had both men shackled and when Elizabeth and Ginny started to protest he shot them down. With the pirates safely shackled all the men put their guns away all accept for one man. Jack looked to Ron and gave him a nod. Ron took Ginny's corset, which he still had in his hand and twisted the pistol out of the man's hand. It sailed into the water and while everyone was watching Ron Jack sidestepped and placed his shackles around Elizabeth's/Sarah's neck and pulled her against him.

"Commodore Norrington our effects, give my friend's things to the other girl and mine to her," He said. Norrington seemed reluctant to send Ginny with Ron's things but Jack tightened his grip. Once Ginny got close enough Ron quick did the same as Jack. Ginny who knew Sarah and herself were in absolutely no danger started to put Ron's effects on. After Jack watch this he turned to Sarah, "Elizabeth… it is Elizabeth?" Jack whispered into Sarah's ear. This time Sarah kept herself from saying her real name.

"It's Miss Swan."

"Miss Swan if you'll be so kind?" Jack said holding his pistol to her head. She started to put his bandolier on. When her arms were all the way around his waist Jack leaned his jaw onto her shoulder and smiled at Norrington who turned away. When she started to tighten up the belt Jack grunted, "Easy on the goods love."

"You are despicable," Sarah said in a staccato voice.

"I saved your life; now you've saved mine. We're square," Jack replied then turned back to the other men. Gentleman…milady…you will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow," with that he pushed the girl away. After making sure both him and Ron had a hold of the rope that was nearby he pulled a pin that held the rope in place and the two men shot up. The maneuvered themselves until they reached the lower docks and disappeared into the crowd.
