"So how'd Hermy get away?" Jack asked Ron.

"I have no idea she probably swam," Ron replied. The two pirates had made it into the shelter of an almost deserted blacksmith shop. The only person in it was so drunk he hardly even breathed.

"Why didn't you escape?" Jack asked, "I mean you had several opportune moments."

"One: they had my things, Two: One of them had already recognized me and Three: I can't bloody well kill Voldemort without your bloody help," Ron said trying to help Jack beat open the shackles. It wasn't working and they both knew it. Ron glanced around What I would do for a wand right about now, He thought. Jack he noticed had went to the fire and had a slightly smoldering piece of metal. Ron quickly realized Jack's intentions and ran to help. After they got the big machine moving, donkeys were very persuasive when it came to pain, they allowed the machine to crush the manacles. Unfortunately after they final got loose the door opened and both men ran for shelter.

Harry Potter and Will Turner entered the shop and went to work making sure everything was where it should be. Harry steadied the donkey while Will checked on Mr. Brown. When they went to check on the tools Harry found an out of place hammer. After further investigation they found a certain hat. Will went to pick it up when the flat edge of a sword hit the back off his hand. Harry went for his sword when another taller man walked into the light. Both of the accomplices bit back smiles at seeing their best friend. Simultaneously both men went for their swords.

"You're the ones they're hunting… the pirates," Will said.

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance," Ron replied.

"You both seem somewhat familiar have I threatened you before?" Jack said.

A dark shadow cast over Wills face, "I make it a point to avoid familiarity with pirates."

"Ah, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record," Jack replied nodding to Ron headed toward the door, "So if you'll excuse us…" Before Ron even made to move Will had a hold of a sword.

"Will do you think this necessary I mean the men outside will find them in a second," Harry said willing Ron and the other man to get out of the shop.

"They threatened Miss Swann," Will said. Jack who was pretty confident in the fact that he could startle the young blacksmith. Well when the blades started clashing Harry reached for one and shrugged. Ron nodded and the two of them started fighting themselves. When Ron and Harry were absolutely sure that the other men couldn't hear what they were saying did they start catching up.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Safe and worrying I would suppose," Ron said, "You'll never guess who's here."

"Malfoy," Harry said indifferently.

"How do you know?"

"We both live here Ron," Harry replied.

"Well then why are you still seventeen?" Ron asked.

"I'm not I'm twenty you look around…" Harry replied

"Twenty-seven I've been here a little over ten years," Ron replied.

"Six months for me," Harry said. They both heard a clang as Jack was propelled into the air, "We'd better help them."

"Aye we should," Ron replied and both of them climbed up to help. Well, going against each other proved Ron the better swordsman but Harry easily kept up. The fight ended when Ron sent Harry sword flying and Jack pulled a pistol on Will. Quickly Ron took out his pistol as well, and mouthed I'm sorry to Harry.

"You cheated," Will cried.

"Pirate," Jack replied. Jack began at once to move to the door. But Will blocked his path, undeterred by the weapon in his face.

"Move!"

"I will not stand by and let you escape," Will replied.

"Will I think you'd better move," Harry said.

"Yes please move," Jack said.

"No," Will said. Jack cocked the pistol to make his message more powerful.

"This shots not meant for you boy!" Jack said and Will looked confused. It was then when the bottle came crashing down on Jacks head. Ron turned around to see the drunk man behind him. It was at that moment when the Navy Guards crashed through the front door. Wrestling irons on Ron before he could fade into the background proved tough but when both pirates were securely in irons Norrington and Malfoy smirked.

"I believe you will remember this as the day Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped," Norrington said and Malfoy nodded. Harry and Ron shared a look of utter hatred directed towards Malfoy before Ron was carried off.
