Chapter Four
Harry smiled as he watched the Interceptor II sail straight past them. He could see the sailors staring at the ghostly Black Pearl in surprise and horror. Jack had surrounded their boat and the closest area with thick fog and it looked like the black ship was more or less part of the fog.
"I'm seein' ghosts." One sailor whispered and stretched out his hand towards Harry.
"Who do you see?" another asked.
Before the other sailor could reply a voice like a whip broke through and a tall man dressed in the clothes befitting a Commodore stepped up beside them. This was obviously Norrington. "What are you talking about?! Get back to work! Gods knows what we might run into in this fog." Then he turned towards the ship and saw Harry. His mouth dropped open and he stared. "Jack Sparrow?"
Harry grinned at this. He and Jack were even more alike now than before as Harry had acquired a nice tan while being on the Pearl, yet there was the hair to consider. His was jet black, while Jack's was more of a dark brown. However at a distance they could pass as the other one. He nodded towards Norrington just as the Interceptor II sailed past the Pearl and Norrington couldn't see him anymore.
"Norrington saw me." He told Jack as the other man came up beside him. "Thought I was you."
Jack smirked. " 'E ne'er was good at seeing the differences in people."
"That was philosophical."
"I dunno what ye want te call it, but it's the truth."
Anamaria and Harry shared a look before turning back to the captain who was in the process of having his fog follow Norrington for another while.
"So, where are we goin' next?" Harry asked.
"Hmm..." Jack waved the fog away with a last gesture and the starry sky above them was revealed. "I think it's time te visit a couple o' ol' friends, savvy?"
"Who?"
"Will and Elizabeth Turner. 'Aven't seen them in a while, and they haven't met Green-Eyes here."
"Don't call me that!"
"So we're off te Port Royal?" Anamaria wanted to confirm.
"Yep."
"As ye wish capt'n," she nodded and retreated to give the orders to the navigator.
Harry glared at Jack. "First ye tell that embarrassin' story, and now ye call me Green-Eyes again. Why do ye do that?"
"Which part o' that?"
"Both."
" 'Cause it's fun, and I'm repayin' ye for that pink-hair trick ye did a couple o' weeks ago."
"Ye really know how to hold a grudge."
"Ye surprised? I held a grudge against Barbossa for ten years."
"Mad as a hatter ye are. How long before we reach Port Royal?"
Jack grinned as the two of them headed towards the helm. "Not long, two days at most."
Harry nodded. "Good I want to check out if they have some magical books around there. And then I'll be forced te steal them 'cause I've no money."
"That's the spirit! Now if we could make ye drink like a pirate our work would be done."
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
They anchored the Pearl out of the way and sight of those in Port Royal, then Jack, Harry, Anamaria and Gibbs rowed to the shore. Anamaria and Gibbs went to their own business, while once again Harry followed Jack. The pirate led him through the city in his usual weird way of walking, which Harry had copied to perfection, to a grand house standing on a hill and looking over the town.
"The Turners are living in the Governors estate?" Harry raised and eyebrow.
"Elizabeth's father's the Governor, remember I told you about the Aztec gold."
"Oh yeah, that tale is even more wondrous than the one about the turtles." Harry grinned.
Jack swirled to him. "Ye sayin' I'm lyin'?"
"Ye really want me to answer that one?"
"Yer definitely a Sparrow. Whelp!" Jack ruffled Harry's hair. It reached his shoulders now and he used the bandana to keep it out of his eyes.
" 'Ey, not the hair!"
Jack grinned and continued walking. Harry shook his head and followed. They reached the big mansion easily enough, only having to hide two times as redcoats came by. Then Jack led him to the back of the house and the kitchen entrance. He knocked twice and it was opened by a young maid. She giggled when she saw the pirate. Harry rolled his eyes and kept lookout while Jack had some fun.
"Why, Mr Sparrow," the maid giggled. "Been a long time since you were here, sir."
"Eight months I believe, Christine. Now, why don't ye go and tell Master William and Miss Elizabeth I'm 'ere?"
She giggled again. "One minute Mr Sparrow."
"That's Captain Sparrow to ye luv, and don't ye forget it."
The maid disappeared into the house and they could hear her giggling like schoolgirl until she got out of earshot.
"Do ye call everyone 'luv'?" Harry asked.
"Only girls."
" 'Tis impossible te get a straight answer out of ye, Jack." Harry mumbled fondly and turned back to keep a lookout.
"What can I say, it is the Sparrow-charm at work. Ah, Will! Elizabeth!" Jack grinned at the couple that came out.
"Jack!" Elizabeth smiled and hugged the pirate. "It is so good to see you again!"
Will smiled as well and shook Jack's hand. Then they noticed the young black-haired man standing with his back to them. "Who's this?" Will asked.
"Ah, yeah, right. Green-Eyes!"
Harry swirled. "How many times do I have te tell ye, Jack?! Don't call me that!"
Will and Elizabeth blinked upon seeing almost a carbon copy of Jack himself. On closer inspection they could see several differences. For example the eyes, while Jack's were a warm chocolate brown, this boy's were the most amazing green. The boy was also leaner than Jack and smaller. Though Harry had grown a lot during the past months, he still wasn't as tall as Jack.
He shook his head and turned to the staring couple. "Hi, I'm Harry Potter- Sparrow." He shook their hands.
"Elizabeth Swann. Are you Jack's son?" Elizabeth asked.
"Nope, 'e ain't." Jack replied. " 'E's the son o' me cousin. And me cousin just paid a visit te ol' Davy Jones Locker, so now I'm 'ere to take care o' the lad."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Nice te meet ye."
"You as well," Will replied. "Come in!" he said and Elizabeth seemed shocked for a moment.
"Where are my manners?! Come in, come in. I'll have Christine put on some tea – with rum for you Jack, I know. And you Harry, what do you want?"
"Water would be fine." Harry replied and Jack scowled.
" 'E'll be havin' the same as me."
"I'm not a drunk Jack, and I really don't think it'd be a good idea to get drunk in a town that has a personal vendetta against ye."
"If that's the way yer gonna be thinkin' yer ne'er gonna get drunk in yer life!"
"And that's a bad thing?" a black eyebrow was raised.
The pirate-captain growled. "When we get back to the Pearl, we're gonna 'ave a long talk 'bout drinkin'."
"Ye can talk, but I won't listen."
Will and Elizabeth chuckled to themselves as they listened to the arguing couple. There was no doubt in them now that Harry was Jack's nephew. Elizabeth shook her head and ordered the maid to put on the kettle. The four of them sat down in the kitchen as it wasn't safe for either Jack or Harry to be seen in the other parts of the house. Both of them would be captured and hanged in one, two, three.
"Any new exploits you want to tell us about, Jack?" Will asked.
"Not really, we 'aven't attacked a ship in months."
"Why not?" Elizabeth sat down beside her husband.
"We needed to teach the whelp everythin' from the beginnin'."
" 'Ey, I ain't that bad!" Harry protested.
Jack rolled his eyes. "The first couple o' days 'e refused to even try." He told the other two.
"Oh?" Elizabeth sounded interested. She looked at Harry. "You weren't a pirate from birth?"
"Nope."
" 'E's mother was a maid in a pretty good establishment," Jack quickly butted in. " 'E 'adn't even beet at sea 'til we came along."
Harry glared. "Ye make it sound so bad."
"It is!" the pirate insisted.
Elizabeth giggled and attracted the attention to herself. "You two really are impossible."
" 'Tis the Sparrow-charm at work." They said at the same time and in the same slurring manner.
"Completely impossible," Will agreed with a smile. He accepted the tea that the maid handed him and blew on it before taking a drink.
"Anythin' new on these parts?" Jack asked and looked at the couple.
Elizabeth blushed and put a hand on her tummy. Jack didn't understand it, but Harry did and he jumped up and shook her hand gently. "That's wonderful! Congratulations! How far along are ye?"
"Two months."
"What is goin' on 'ere? What are ye talking 'bout, lad?" Jack asked blinking in confusion.
"For bein' such a smart guy, ye really are thick sometimes. She's pregnant!"
Jack's eyebrows shot into his bandana. "Pregnant?! Well why didn't ye say so before?! Congratulations to ye both! And Will, about bloody time too." For this comment he received a slap on his arm from Elizabeth.
"Shush you!" she smiled.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
"You two take care now." Elizabeth said and handed Harry a bundle. "Here, these are some of Will's old clothes that he won't need anymore, and it'd be a shame to throw them away."
"Thank ye!" Harry grinned. "Yer gonna make a wonderful mother, ye know that?"
Elizabeth seemed to glow at these words and Will smiled proudly. Jack blinked wondering how such a small comment could make both of the coming parents so happy, but shrugged it off. As far as he was concerned it only meant that Harry possessed the Sparrow-charm and that he knew how to use it.
"Well, mates, time fer us te-"
He was cut off as a redcoat came around the corner and spotted them. "Hey you! GUARDS, IT'S SPARROW AND HIS SON!!!! THEY'RE ATTACKING MR AND MRS TURNER!!!!"
"-go." Jack finished. "Come on lad!"
Harry grinned one last time at the Turner's and set off after Jack. They ran around the house dodging bullets and skidded to a halt. Up the way leading towards the mansion came Norrington and about twenty redcoats. Harry and Jack shared a look then ran straight across the front of the house, right in the sight of Norrington, and towards the other side where a steep slope covered with palms led down into town.
"SPARROW!!!!" Norrington bellowed and set off after them.
As they were running Harry turned to the pirate. "Your son?" he repeated his English accent showing through clearly.
"Ye look as if ye could be. Besides, I wouldn't mind." Jack grinned. Both of them stopped as they reached the edge and looked at each other. It was steeper than they had thought, but it couldn't be helped. "Ready fer a bumpy ride?"
Harry grinned and was about to reply when he heard a gun go off and felt a sharp pain in his knee and screamed. It burned like hell. He staggered and fell into Jack pushing him off the cliff. Lying on the ground just at the edge he looked at his knee. The bullet had only made a flesh wound, but it still hurt. He scrambled up on all four and was about to throw himself off the edge when he felt a sword at his throat. He followed it up and up until he reached an arm, then followed the arm until he looked in Commodore Norrington's eyes. The man was smirking in triumph.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Jack Sparrow jr." He smirked. "Keep your guns pointed at him, men. Gillette fetch some irons."
Harry was roughly pulled to his feet and winced as he was forced to step on the injured leg. Two redcoats held him as another officer – Gillette, he assumed – put chains on his wrists. Then he was pulled along without mercy. He saw Elizabeth's shocked and horror stricken face in one of the windows, and in the next he saw Will looking extremely worried. What he didn't see was the head that popped over the edge of the slope and followed their progress with narrowed eyes.
Jack was pissed off, and that never bode good for anyone. Just look at what had happened with Barbossa. He growled as he watched Harry being pulled along without consideration for the wound, then he let go of the edge and hurried into town. He found Anamaria and Gibbs and they rowed back to the Pearl to wait for the cover of darkness before trying to rescue Harry.
