Skit: Also, I wanted to tell everyone that I got this idea from a friend of mine who wrote an original story, but I did get the inspiration to upload this story from VG Jekyll's story.
I also want to that VG for giving me a lot of tips in writing, as well as the many reviewers! I have responses to you at the end of the chapter!
Discalimer in chapter one
The next morning, Draco awoke alone, but found a pair of brown trousers and a white shirt to wear. He pulled on both and quickly ate the bread and water left for breakfast. He reached the top deck and immediately was assaulted by Hermione, who seemed to be able to find something wrong with every little scratch on him.
"I'm fine Hermione, really!" He said, flashing her a brilliant smile causing the brunette to blush slightly.
"Nonsense, I've already told Harry to…….."
"Now, Hermione let the poor lad go. My, Draco it has been a while hasn't it?" Draco's blood ran cold as he heard the voice and felt the familiar arm encircle his shoulders.
"Yes, it has Conner." His voice had gone cold and he pulled from the man's grasp.
"Oh, you know each other?" Hermione asked, not catching on to Draco's discomfort. Draco nodded, though stiffly.
"Yes, great friends we were. That is, until that unfortunate accident, ay Drake?" Conner's arm tightened around Draco's, causing him to wince as a sharp pain ran down his spine. Luckily he was saved from answering by Harry.
"Oi, did I say you could take a brake? Get on, both of you. Draco, come with me." Conner left along with Hermione, but before removing his arm he leaned in a whispered, "You look delicious as ever, pet. I'm sure your master is proud." Then left. Draco scowled and turned to the captain who was looking at him curiously.
"What?" He snapped a little more harshly then he had originally meant to. Harry broke out into a grin.
"Come one. I've got your first job." He led them to the wheel and motioned for Draco to take position behind it.
"Have you ever steered?" He asked, taking position behind the blonde. It didn't matter if Draco had managed a ship before, he wasn't going to leave his precious ship to the almost stranger, no matter how gorgeous he was.
Draco shook his head, he had managed a ship, but had kept him from steering.
"Okay. Place your hand on the wheel. Keep it steady, that's it. Now, let her steer you. No, here." Harry placed his hands on top of the blondes and positioned himself so that his chest was aligned with Draco's back. A smirk flitted across his face before he quickly returned his mind to his task.
Carefully, he showed Draco how to let the ship said it's course. How to feel the waves and flow with them, not against them. They dialed in silence for the larger part of the day; Harry left after about four hours to go oversea the other crewmembers. While he was gone he left Draco in Ron's charge.
"Hey Blondie, your doing good" Draco flinched at the nickname and glared at the red-head.
"Hey, just joking mate. Your touchy today." Ron laughed at the look Draco gave him, then joined him at the wheel, looking over his shoulder toward the horizon.
"Hey Ron?"
"Yeah?"
"Is that ship suppose to be following us so closely?" Draco pointed behind him. Ron looked behind, confused. He hadn't seen Draco take his eyes off the waves in front of him.
"Where?"
"To the left, Northeast." Ron squinted in the direction Draco had motioned to and his eyes widened. Almost to far away to see was a ship, it's black sails the only thing visible in the twilight of the evening.
"I don't………."
"Get the Captain." Draco hissed, "That's the ship 'Juxtapose', they'll be wanting trouble." Ron shot a glance at Draco who had yet to take his look from the horizon to look behind him, then nodded, jumping the seven steps to the main deck.
"Captain! Captain!" He called. Harry turned to face the red-head, a look of worry on his face.
"What's wrong?" He asked, dropping the line of rope he had been tying down.
"Draco's spotted a ship, says something a bout trouble." Harry was gone before he could finish.
Walking up beside the blonde, he placed a hand on his shoulder, "Yes?" he asked, joining Draco's gaze.
"That's the Juxtapose ship. Their captain caused a bit of trouble on one of my father's ships. She's bad news."
"What makes you so sure she'll be trou……….." He didn't get to finish as a loud bang could be heard and the sound of splintering wood soon followed. Harry groaned at Draco's smirk that clearly said 'told-you-so'. He turned and began yelling orders,
"Load the cannons! Brie, bring down the sails. Conner and Ron, check the maps, make sure we stay on course. Draco, come with me. We're going to see why this girl would want to deal with us."
He jumped over the railing that separated the wheel from the rest of the ship and landed gracefully next to Ron. Turning, he expected to see Draco preparing to jump after him. Instead, the blonde was gazing into the distance again, except he wasn't looking off into the horizon anymore, instead he was looking in the direction of the ship that was currently sailing, quickly, toward them. His brow was furrowed in concern and he was biting his lower lip in concentration. Harry pushed rather perverted thoughts from his mind in favor of doing something a tad bit more productive.
Skit: Hides from readers sorry it's so short! I thought you'd like something short better then nothing! My e-mail went cahoots so the first reviewer who offered to be one of the shipmates could you please send me your character info again? Thanks luv!
