Chapter Sixteen
Harry grinned as he saw Jack swagger over the deck of the Pearl, a bottle of rum in one hand. The pirate soon came over to Harry who was leaning against the rail.
"What's that?" Jack asked pointing to the bottle of Firewhiskey in Harry's hand.
"A gift." Harry replied with a smirk.
"Aye, whatever, but is it rum?!" Jack demanded and waved his arms about.
"Nope, 'tis Firewhiskey. Got it from Fred and George."
"The red-'ead twins?"
"Aye."
"Let me 'ave a swig." The pirate grabbed the bottle.
"I thought ye didn't like whiskey?" Harry said and pulled the bottle out of Jack's grip.
Jack shrugged. "I'm willin' te try, ain't I? So, come on, give some to yer ol' pal Jack."
Harry sniggered but gave in. "Drink it slowly, or ye'll burn up."
"Nothin' like this was e'er meant te be drunk slowly, lad."
"Don't say I didn't warn ye." Harry smirked as Jack titled the whole bottle backwards like he usually did with the rum. A second later he started harking and smoke started to come out of his ears. Harry caught both bottles before Jack dropped them, and conjured up a glass of water while smiling at his ancestor.
"Jumpin' jellyfish!" Jack stared at the Firewhiskey. "Thank ye." He said as Harry handed him the water.
"Too strong fer ye Jack?"
"Ne'er! Let me 'ave some more."
"Alright, but drink slowly this time, savvy?" Harry smirked again and gave the pirate-captain the bottle. He kept the rum.
"Savvy." Jack grinned. "Imagine what would 'appen if ye mixed this with rum!"
Shaking his head Harry went to the other side of the ship. Jack was impossible, and he refused to admit that he had a drinking problem. In fact, every pirate Harry had met so far refused to admit they had a drinking problem. He grinned as he spotted Anamaria going towards the castle.
"Oy, Ana!" he called.
The woman turned. "What?!"
"Don't do anythin' I wouldn't do!"
"Scallywag!" she yelled to him, but he could hear the laughter in her voice.
"Always!" Harry replied and chuckled. Anamaria had been exceptionably clean in the last couple of days, and he knew it was all because of her dearest Potion Master. Snape had also been acting slightly out of character lately. He was actually nice to some people – those only including Dumbledore, Hermione and Draco – but still it was an improvement from hating everyone who crossed his path. Perhaps Anamaria would be a nice influence on the Head of Slytherin.
He chuckled and shook his head. They would be a good couple.
......
It was a few days later that it started.
Harry and Jack were standing at the helm of the Pearl, Anamaria – who was supposed to be fixing ropes – was off into her own world, rope and everything else forgotten at the moment. Gibbs was talking to Cotton, and otherwise the crews were relaxing on a fine summer day.
The Turner family were in Hogwarts talking with the Phoenix Agents and the Professors, something they had been doing much lately. Therefore it was a great surprise when all four of them came running out, shouting and waving their arms in the air to get attention.
"What's goin' on?" Jack asked once the first member of the family was aboard.
Bootstrap helped Jacqueline up. "Voldemort has decided that this is a nice day for an attack at Diagon Alley." He puffed. "So the Order has made up its mind. They will attack him before he attacks Diagon Alley."
"Do they know where 'e's stationed?" Harry asked.
"They called it the Riddle House." Will said and was the last Turner aboard. "You know of it?"
"I do," Harry replied darkly. "It's just o'er a village called Little Hangleton. We are goin' Jack?"
"O' course we are!" Jack replied. "I want te blow the bejuses outta Voldie with me little cannons!"
Harry chuckled. "What are we waiting fer then?"
"Fer ye and Bootstrap to get to yer own ships." Jack grinned.
Harry smirked in reply and transformed into his eagle form. The crew that had been assigned to the Raven quickly gathered and Bootstrap had his crew under control in minutes. They watched as the Order of the Phoenix exited Hogwarts in red and gold robes, hurried pas the anti-apparation ward and were gone with numerous pops. Jack, Bootstrap and Harry yelled out orders and soon the three ships were once again surrounded by fog. Led by the Black Pearl they set out towards the battle of the century.
Harry wasn't smiling this time, but was gazing ahead with grim determination and concentration. This was going to be the final battle between himself and Voldemort, and only Voldemort would die.
The crews of the three ships were silent as the grave. They were going into a wizards battle, and the only thing they were worried about were the fact that magic would be the only thing used in this battle.
"What are we goin' te do about that?" Anamaria asked Harry after having reminded him of this.
"As Jack said, blast the bejuses outta 'em. Ye and the crew stay onboard and fire at 'em." Harry replied.
"I just 'ope we 'ave enough cannonballs te last fer a while." The woman said.
"That is, o' course, a chance te take. And don't ye worry about our dearest Potion Master. 'E'll do fine." He smiled reassuringly to her.
Anamaria just nodded and went to tell the crew what they would be doing under the fight.
It took them an hour to reach Little Hangleton, and by that time the battle was well under way. Spells were flying all over the place, dead and wounded from both sides were littering the ground. Harry spotted Dumbledore in the middle of the fight, back to back with Snape, but there was no sign of Voldemort.
Jack let the fog go and to the spectators the three ships seemed to just materialise out of nowhere.
Harry gave over the helm to Anamaria and jumped off the ship. He was quickly followed by Jack who jumped off his own ship. The two of them grinned to each other, drew their weapons and jumped straight into the fight. Cannonballs joined the fray and the Death Eaters – who hadn't expected anything like this – took some time to regroup and gather themselves.
Harry made his way over to Dumbledore and Snape and smirked. "Need 'elp, Professors?"
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and he blinked when a well-aimed cannonball took care of his two opponents. "Oh my!"
Snape rolled his eyes, but smirked. He threw up a shield charm just in time. "Any help is welcome, Potter!"
Harry mock-saluted and threw a knife at the attacking Death Eater. The man went down without a sound, looking completely surprised at being taken down by a muggle weapon. The Raven floated past them.
"How's it goin'?!" Anamaria asked grinning.
"I think we're winnin' but the Big Bad Voldie's still not 'ere!" Harry replied.
"Jack seems te 'ave a good time nonetheless!" the woman pointed to Jack who was happily frying Death Eaters left and right.
"That's Jack fer ye!" Harry grinned one last time then hurried over to another group of Death Eaters.
"POTTER?!?!" one of them exclaimed.
"In the flesh, mates!" Harry replied before staring to slash with his cutlass and dagger. He added a few spells into that and it didn't take long before he had taken down five of the eight Death Eaters. The remaining ones looked at each other and started to run for it, but Harry just stunned them and bound them, then moved on to his next victim.
He came face to face with a tall man who still had his mask on. The man stopped and stared at Harry once he saw him, he seemed shocked for some reason. But Harry had no time to get into a staring contest, and Stunned the man before the other could even think about moving. He bound the Death Eater and took off the mask. Harry closed his eyes to gather himself. Staring back at him was the face of none other than Ron.
Harry gulped, mentally shook himself and looked down at the fallen man as he stood. "I'm sorry mate." He whispered then moved off.
"Green-Eyes!" Jack's voice made Harry swing around. The pirate-captain was running towards him. "There, on the ridge!" he pointed and Harry followed his finger. "Am I right in guessin' that that's our dear Voldemort?"
Harry looked at the smirking snakelike, red-eyed man and nodded. "Aye, that's 'im." He growled.
Jack turned Harry towards himself. "Knock that bastard to hell, will you?" he asked having lost every trace of pirate-accent.
Harry mimicked Jack and put his own hands on the other man's shoulders. "Thanks for everything Jack."
"Nothing to worry about lad."
"If I don't make it take care of the Raven will you?"
"And you take care of the Pearl for me if I shouldn't make it. Do we have an accord?" Jack offered his hand.
"We do." Harry shook the hand and smirked. "Now lets go an' show Voldie why 'e should ne'er mess with a Sparrow."
"After ye, lad." Jack grinned as well.
With that they turned towards Voldemort and set off towards the Dark Lord.
Voldemort saw them coming and blinked a few times before everything fell into place. He realised where Harry had disappeared off to twelve years ago, he knew who the pirate walking next to Potter was, he knew everything. And he didn't like it.
"Well, well, Potter and Sparrow. I should've known you would be a thorn in my side Sparrow. Barbossa told me everything before you turned him into dust. Actually I must thank you for that one. He was starting to get on my nerves."
"And yer startin' te get on mine." Jack replied. "Why don't ye just give up and everyone can go 'ome 'appy and all that?"
Voldemort rolled his eyes. "Barbossa did say you would act like a complete idiot. I guess he got one thing right."
"Lets get this o'er with." Harry cut in. "I want te get back te the Raven."
"And I te me Pearl," Jack agreed.
"If we must." Voldemort grinned evilly. "First things first, though. Elpeli!" A white, see-through jet of light shot out of Voldemort's wand faster than they could blink, and hit Jack in the chest. The pirate was thrown off his feet and landed almost in the middle of the battlefield barely avoiding crashing into the Stormeagle in the process. "Now we can duel Harry."
Harry stood with a straight back and stared Voldemort evenly in the eyes. Voldemort felt some doubt enter his brain, but squashed it at once. This little whelp was not going to stop him, not when he was so close to his goal.
He raised his wand and pointed it at the young man. "Where's your wand Potter?"
"At the bottom o' Davy Jones' Locker," Harry replied and his muscles tightened. "But that doesn't mean I'll need it."
"We'll see about that when I kill you. Avada Kedavra!"
The green beam of light shot straight at Harry, but he avoided it easily. And so the battle between them began.
......
That's that. What do you think.
