Pirates and Wizards
Disclaimer: I own neither Pirates of the Caribbean nor Harry Potter.
Authors Note: Now, there are a couple of things that need to be cleared. This is NOT a HP/HG, rather it's a HG/DM. And Barbossa and Co. aren't dead, they're just stunned.

Chapter Fourteen
Harry grinned from his place at the helm. He could finally fully understand why Jack loved the Pearl so much. The wood under his hand, the gentle rocking motion, the sound of the ship's movements. It really was freedom.
Anamaria smiled fondly as she looked up from her work. Harry had already gotten that dreamy look Jack always had when he was standing behind the helm on the Pearl. The green eyes were glittering with the promise of freedom and adventure. She shook her head and nudged Cotton who sat beside her and pointed towards the newly-made captain. The mute man smiled as well before going back to his own work.
Harry didn't notice any of this. He was focused on the ship's movements and on following after the Black Pearl through the fog. After him came the Stormeagle with the Turner's aboard. Jacqueline had completely refused to go on any other ship than with Harry, so she was standing beside him wearing almost the same expression.
They didn't sail to Hogwarts, but set towards Isla de Muerta at once. There they would put the medallions back to where they belonged and use the blood of the three Turner's to make sure that the curse was gone for good. Harry would also renew certain spells over the chest and the cursed gold, so that no one stumbled over the island and took it. Or make sure that some other monkey didn't come along and take something.
He grinned and looked down at Jacqueline. She grinned up at him and took a hold of the helm with one hand.
It was easy to see that both of them were born for this life, and that nothing else would do.
......
Harry flew ahead of the boats to check if it was safe. It was, and everything was the way they had last left it.
Jack and the longboats came a few minutes after him, and behind them again came Barbossa and his crew. All of them were unconscious and Jack was using his powers to float them along and placed them on the floor in the cave.
Harry opened the Chest of Cortez and dropped his medallion into it and the others did the same. Jacqueline, Will and Bootstrap waited for Jack. The pirate gave his medallion to them and Harry made a small cut on their hands. Each of them held the medallion for a while before giving it to the next, and Jacqueline was the one who dropped the thing atop the ones already in the chest.
They turned a the sound of groaning and stared. Barbossa and his crew were writhing on the ground, their flesh was melting away along with their muscles. Elizabeth tried to hide the sight from Jacqueline, but the girl drew away from her mother and clung to Harry's hand. In the end even the skeletons disappeared.
"I guess it worked." Will was the first to say anything in the silence that followed.
Harry nodded. "It did."
"Lets get back te 'Ogwarts before Dumbledore panics." Jack said.
The crews followed him to the boats. Once again Harry flew ahead of them and reminded himself just in time to land on the Raven and not the Pearl. He smiled and helped Jacqueline up once the longboats reached the ship. He could hear Jack yelling orders and the black sails were raised. Bootstrap did the same, and he followed their examples.
"Weigh the anchor! Drop the sails!" he ordered his small crew and went up to the helm again.
Jacqueline ran around and helped where it was needed. "Anchor's up, Capt'n!" she yelled.
"Lets go!" Harry replied with a grin and set off after Jack and Bootstrap.
......
The people at Hogwarts were happy to see the pirates return safely. Who'd have thought that they would actually miss those blackhearts? However, they got a shock when a third ship appeared through the fog that seemed to follow wherever they went. They were even more surprised to se exactly who was standing behind the helm.
Harry grinned and waved before giving order to drop anchor and to go through the entire ship to check on what they needed of food and water, was there something that he had missed that needed to be fixed? and so on. The crew spread around the ship and the job was quickly done. They needed more water and food, otherwise Harry had done a bang-up job when he fixed the ship. The ship could also use some new sails and a good cleanup from top to bottom.
"Alright." Harry nodded to Anamaria. "Since this is the first cleanup this ship's 'ad in years apparently, we'll let the 'Ogwarts 'Ouse-Elves take care of it. We'll 'elp o' course, but they'll take the worst o' it." He ignored Hermione's murderous glare and called for Dobby.
"Mr Harry Potter-Sparrow sir wanted to see Dobby?" the House-Elf asked as he popped up.
"Yes, I need 'elp te cean me ship. Up fer it?" Harry grinned.
Dobby's eyes got wide and he started bouncing around in joy. "Of course Mr Harry Potter-Sparrow sir! Dobby come with help at once sir!" the tiny creature popped off and appeared again a few minutes later with a whole horde of House-Elves following him.
"Well, that takes care o' that – at least fer a while," Anamaria agreed with a smile. "We should 'ave some o' those 'Ouse-Elves onboard."
"Nah, then Jack couldn't punish us with swabbin' the deck."
The woman laughed and the two of them went over to the Pearl and climbed aboard leaving the wizards in their wake.
Hermione shook her head. Harry had changed too much, he was like a stranger and she wasn't sure on how to act around him. Like the friend? Like the sister? Like they had newly met? It was difficult to figure out, but at least she had Draco she mused as her lover pulled her into his arms.
"Come on Herm, you know how these pirates are." The blond man said. "They are totally hooked on their ships." He continued shaking his head.
"It is their freedom." Dumbledore mused and smiled fondly. "And I can see why. In fact, once this war is over I will ask Jack to take me along for an adventure before school starts again."
"I've already bucked a place with Harry." Tonks said as she popped up. "Kingsley is coming soon. Fudge wanted to speak to him about gods knows what."
Hermione nodded. "They do seem so free and carefree. It's like they're children." She looked towards the Pearl.
"Children, yes certainly," the old Headmaster agreed. "But dangerous children. More dangerous than we can even imagine."
......
Anamaria looked around and shuddered. She had definitely taken a wrong turn somewhere. She had been on a mission from Jack to find the Hogwarts library, but was currently walking around somewhere in the dungeons.
'I hate magical castles!' she decided as she walked down yet another staircase. "Bloody 'ell!" she growled as her foot went through yet another trick stair. It was impossible to pull it out and she carried on cursing and swearing in all the languages she knew. She even invented some on the spot.
"Charming." Came a voice from behind her and she turned as much as she could. A black-dressed man stood on the stairs. He had onyx eyes and black, shiny hair. His skin was pale, but it went nicely with his dark clothes. "Need help?"
"I do," Anamaria replied and tugged on her leg to point out her point. "Who the 'ell are ye anyways?"
"Severus Snape, weird you don't remember me from the first night. You annoyed me greatly then," he replied in his dark voice and touched a white stone in the wall. The trick step let go at once and Anamaria could finally stand up again. "Now what are one of you pirates doing in my dungeons?" he asked.
"I was lookin' fer the library, but took a wrong turn somewhere." Anamaria climbed the stairs until she stood at the one he stood at. He was a good four inches taller than her. "Ye couldn't point me in the right direction, could ye?"
"Follow these stairs to the top, then to the left. At the end of that corridor you will find the library." Snape began to descend the stairs easily jumping over the trick step.
"Thank ye!" she called after him but didn't get a reply. She shrugged and did as he had told her, and twenty minutes later she reached the library. By that time she was cursing the stairs to the seventh hell and was seriously out of breath. No wonder Snape had been so lean, and no wonder she hadn't seen anyone even remotely chubby in this castle. Those bloody stairs provided enough training for a whole squadron of redcoats!
Once she got out of this place she was going to kill Jack.
