Chapter Thirteen
After the false start that morning the day proceeded rather well for the crews of the Pearl and the Stormeagle, and it became even better when Captain Jack Sparrow came with Fudge under his arm and threw the chubby man off of his ship like a sack of potatoes.
"And stay there, ye bloody landlubber!"
"You will regret this Mr Sparrow!"
"That's CAPTAIN Sparrow te ye! And if yer still wonderin' if we want te join yer Ministry as agents, yer thicker than even Norrington!" Jack stomped off and stopped in front of Harry. "And as for ye, Green-Eyes. Ye'll be swabbin' this deck from now on te yer 200th birthday!"
"Aye Capt'n." Harry replied though he was smiling. Jack wasn't completely pissed off which was a very good sign. For if he had been, Harry would've ended up in the brig faster than you could blink. It had happened once before when Harry had nearly gotten himself killed at his second raid. Gibbs had had to treat him in a cell all the while chuckling. Harry hadn't seen what was so funny due to the gunshot wound in his side, but later he had found it amusing.
Jack growled one more time, shook his head and went down below again to find some rum. Rum was good. It helped him, it was his friend, something that couldn't be said about Harry and the crew. He found a bottle and sulked.
"Well, ye certainly know how te get 'im pissed off, lad." Gibbs said to Harry.
"It's a gift." Harry turned to the aurors. "Sorry 'bout that."
"Are you really sorry Harry, or are you pretending?" Shacklebolt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Ye really want me te answer that one? Better said, ye really need me te answer that one?"
The auror chuckled. "You are impossible. Alright you," he said to his aurors. "Get going, Fudge will want us there to listen to him rant."
"Yes sir!" the younger aurors mock saluted and jumped off the ship.
Tonks grinned and stood beside Harry. "You know, Green-Eyes," she began. "Once this is all over and Snakeface has gotten his comeuppance, would it be possible for me to join the crew?"
"I don't know, ye'll 'ave te ask Jack 'bout that, but better wait 'til tomorrow. An' if ye call me Green-Eyes again, I'll start callin' ye Morphy."
Anamaria smiled. "I hope ye do, it'll be nice te 'ave another woman aboard."
"Ooo! A new nickname! But what about Elizabeth, she's a woman right?"
"She's always aboard the Stormeagle with 'er family."
"TONKS!!!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!!!!" Shacklebolt yelled.
"COMING!!!! Bloody idiot." The neon-green haired woman smiled to them one last time and was gone.
"Ye've got weird friends, Green-Eyes." Anamaria stated looking after the disappearing Fudge and his aurors.
Harry just shrugged with a smile.
"Wind in your sails!" Cotton's parrot squawked.
......
"Aren't you coming to dinner?" Hermione asked Harry. She had been sent to tell the pirates to come and eat as they hadn't appeared once since the food had been laid out.
"Nope." Harry replied and continued to check the planks of the ship for anything remotely damaging. Jack wanted to make sure everything was in shipshape before setting out.
"Why not?" She asked and followed him around.
"We're goin' te do somethin' 'bout those pirates that 'ave joined Voldie." Harry knocked on the wood. "Sounds good."
"But won't that be dangerous? I mean, these things can't die and you can!" Hermione protested.
He turned to her and she suddenly had problems swallowing. The green eyes glittered in the light coming off the ship and from the open main doors of the castle. He was handsome, she realised. Handsome and slightly mysterious.
"Aye, it will be dangerous, but we are pirates." He grinned, the gold tooth flashing in the same way as his eyes. "Then again, we are smarter pirates!"
"Wh-what do you mean by that?"
"Ye don't think Jack'd send us off into somethin' without making sure that everyone will be protected, do ye?" Harry went back around again to where a rope-ladder was hanging off the ship. "Ah, there ye are!" he said to someone behind Hermione.
Hermione turned and came face to face with Elizabeth, Will and Jacqueline.
"Yes, here we are. Is everything ready?" Will asked and held the ladder steady so that Jacqueline could climb up.
"Jacqueline?! Are you going to take Jacqueline with you?!" Hermione shrieked.
Elizabeth sighed. "We tried to make her stay, but she follows Harry and Jack wherever she wants. Pirate is in her blood and with godfathers like those two..." the mother shook her head fondly. "Lets just say that she grew up with freedom and rebellion hammered into her from birth." Elizabeth smiled kindly to a still worried looking Hermione and started to climb.
"What the 'ell is goin' on down there?!" Jack demanded and his head popped up over the rail. "Ah, Miss Granger! Come along fer an adventure?"
"N-no thank you." Hermione declined. "I have some research that need to be done."
"As ye wish. Will, Harry, will ye two get up 'ere so that we can get goin'?!"
"Nice talking to you, Miss Granger." Will said and started to climb.
Harry just grinned to her, transformed into his animagi shape and flew up, leaving a dumbfounded Hermione behind on the ground.
"That's it lads! Weigh anchor! Set the sails! We 'ave some skeletons te kill and some medallions te collect!"
Hermione watched in awe as the two ships floated in midair and went past her. She spotted Harry climbing into the crows nest and waved. He waved back with a grin, then raised the pirate flag, the Jolly Roger. Once both ships were past her they seemed to sail into a thick fog that had suddenly come up from nowhere. Within seconds both ships were gone and only the crows nests were visible. Once the ships were past the anti-apparation shields they disappeared along with the fog and all.
She stood there watching the place they had disappeared for a while before heading inside. She needed to tell Dumbledore what had happened.
......
Jack had somehow managed to take them to an island in Scotland. How he had found his way there was a mystery to Harry, because he had set towards north as soon as they started sailing. The pirate hadn't even thought of going any other way than towards this island, he knew exactly where his former undead crewmates were. But how he knew this was something no one understood. Harry secretly thought it had something to do with that compass of his. No matter where they went, no matter in what time, that compass showed them the way. The compass was magical, there was no doubt about that.
Harry shook off the musings and focused his gaze on the rapidly approaching island. He spotted something and transformed into his animagi shape and flew down to Jack. Once there he transformed back.
"Whad'dya see?" Jack asked.
"A ship, a black one. She looks like the Pearl. 'Twas too dark te see the name though."
"Anythin' else?"
"Campfires. They're there Jack."
"O' course they are, this compass has yet te lead me wrong." Jack closed the compass he had been staring at and put it back in a pocket. He had had Harry charm the pocket so that the compass didn't fall out, and so that only he could take it out.
"How does that thing work?" Harry asked and stared up ahead.
"Someday I just might tell ye, Green-Eyes."
The rest of the voyage to the island was spent in silence. As they reached the island they could hear laughter and shouting form the mutinous pirates. None of them knew that with the sudden fog came a deadly enemy. That is none knew until four cannonballs dropped in the middle of the circle and blasted several of them to smithereens. Then came the shouting, panic and chaos. In all of this it was an easy task for Jack's crew to hold the pirates long enough for Harry to Stun or cast a Body-Bind on them, then they found the golden medallions in the pirate's clothes and took it before moving on to the next one.
Harry and Jack stood off to the side watching the fight. It was going very well for their side, and Bootstrap and the Stormeagle continued to fire to keep up the chaos. None of Jack's crew were hit due to a nifty little charm Harry had dug up.
Suddenly both of them spotted something that made them blink.
"Barbossa!" Jack exclaimed.
"Monkey!" Harry said.
They looked at each other for a second then set off after their targets.
"What the hell are ye doin' 'ere!?!" Barbossa demanded once he spotted Jack.
"I could as ye the same question." Jack replied and kept on his guard.
"Voldemort brought me te this time just after ye and the lass and Turner were leavin' the cave. Now, what 'bout ye?"
"That's fer me te know, and ye not te find out." Jack replied and attacked.
Barbossa avoided the attack and drew his own sword. "Ye really think ye can beat me?!"
"I did it once before." Jack pointed out and attacked again.
In the meantime Harry was across the beach chasing that bloody monkey. He growled as the thing get away once again and changed into his eagle-form. Now it was going to be easier. And he was right. Five minutes later, after an intense chase, he had the monkey pinned underneath him squealing like a pig. Harry glared at the thing, took the medallion from it and flew into the air again leaving the monkey to look at him in surprise. It had waited to be hacked to death, but instead the bird flew off! What luck!
That didn't last long though. Harry landed again and transformed into himself, then pointed his hand towards the monkey and mumbled a few words. A second later the mammal burst into flames and shrieked. There was nothing it could do however to put the flames out, and in a minute it had been transformed into ash. Harry smirked and picked up the ash and put it in a little bag. Snape would just love this.
He looked back to the fight and grinned. Anamaria was having the time of her life beating the hell out of Bo'sun, Gibbs was practicing his boxing- talent on Pintel, and Elizabeth and Will were dealing with Ragetti. Jack was easily beating Barbossa, mostly due to his use of the Elemental abilities. Barbossa didn't even bother to point out the fact that Jack cheated. They were both pirates, and pirates would be pirates no matter what. All in all it didn't take long before the mutinous crew was bound, stunned and gagged on the ground and the crew of the Pearl were rejoicing and telling each other what a wonderful and refreshing fight it had been.
Now there was the question of what to do with Barbossa's ship, the Raven. The pirates were divided between the Pearl and the Stormeagle's brigs, but no one wanted to leave such a fine ship there.
Harry especially liked it, even if it needed a few fixings and mends. And new boards and sails and numerous other things. He shook his head and started to fix what he could magically. Jack had been watching this with an amused smile, and when the young man was done Jack sauntered over to him. Harry was staring at the Raven the same way Jack was staring at the Pearl.
"Why are ye starin' at the ship when ye could be behind its helm, lad?"
Harry jumped and turned to Jack. He had heard the other man approaching. "S'cuse me?"
"Ye heard me. Get aboard. Ye'll get a few of me men and a few of Bootstrap's te help ye start up. I think it is time fer ye te do what e'ery Sparrow was born te do."
"Huh?"
"Ye really are thick sometimes. Captaincy is in our blood, no Sparrow was e'er meant te be just a part o' the crew. Ye've just gotten yerself a ship, Captain Potter-Sparrow." Jack grinned at the dumbfounded expression that met his words. He left the younger man to his own thoughts and went to talk to Bootstrap about that crew.
Harry just stared a the ship in front of him.
His ship.
......
There, that's it. What do you think?

"Well, ye certainly know how te get 'im pissed off, lad." Gibbs said to Harry.
"It's a gift." Harry turned to the aurors. "Sorry 'bout that."
"Are you really sorry Harry, or are you pretending?" Shacklebolt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Ye really want me te answer that one? Better said, ye really need me te answer that one?"
The auror chuckled. "You are impossible. Alright you," he said to his aurors. "Get going, Fudge will want us there to listen to him rant."
"Yes sir!" the younger aurors mock saluted and jumped off the ship.
Tonks grinned and stood beside Harry. "You know, Green-Eyes," she began. "Once this is all over and Snakeface has gotten his comeuppance, would it be possible for me to join the crew?"

"Why not?" She asked and followed him around.
"We're goin' te do somethin' 'bout those pirates that 'ave joined Voldie." Harry knocked on the wood. "Sounds good."
