SenatorSolo: So you prefer going out! That's cool…I do to sometimes but usually I'd rather stay in, in a more relaxed/familiar setting. Yes, Voldemort is a problem. You should be scared, muahaha! But the wizarding world now has Captain Jack Sparrow on their side…that's got to count for something, hehe! (And dear William, of course. :D)

Chocolatrouxluv: Sorry about the ditzy Jack fan-girl! I know you're all not like that. Will has a few crazy ones like that too, lol. Both staying in/going out is a good answer…it really does depend on one's mood I think. Thanks for a great review, hun!

Calliope Foster: Nice penname! I'm glad you liked it…thanks for your two reviews.

Captain-Ammie: Ah, someone after my own heart. I too prefer staying in. I hoped you liked the Jack parts! Thanks for being so encouraging.

Pureangel86: Nope, I REPEAT it's not a Harry/Hermione. Thanks for the review anyway. You were born in my birth year!

Legolover: You called me duckie! Cool…what does that mean? Is it a name of affection? I sure hope so… So yeah, torturing Voldie with Disney songs – it totally sounds plausible for the last HP book. Not. I actually like most Disney songs (I know what a WEIRDO) especially the Lion King soundtrack. Thanks for another great wacky review!

Lunastella13: Wahoo…another point for staying in. I'm sorry you're disappointed about the lack of 'Harmony'. I can see why you thought it would be that kind of fic. Thanks for reading and reviewing anyway.

Avchocoholic: Ah, someone who likes to go out. I wish I had your energy! Thanks for a nice review.

The Gryffindor Drummer: Thanks, I'm glad you're still interested.

InwePirateElf: I'm glad you like both. But if I personally had to choose, I don't think I could resist a night of spooning with Wills. (sighs dreamily) I'm thrilled that you liked E-Town! Some of the critics didn't and I was like, screw you! It was so great to see places that I drive by everyday on the screen. And of course Orlando looked scrumdiddilydumtious without his shirt on! My friend almost had a heart attack during that scene…it was hilarious! I'm glad that you enjoyed the romantic moments in the previous chapter...the story needed some especially since it will be taking a more dramatic turn. You shall see about the new Order, read on!

Thanks again to all my readers…I now have over 5,500 hits!

Ch. 13: Into the Past

"Would any of you be interested in joining the Order?" Dumbledore looked around the room expectantly and locked eyes with the one person that he'd hoped would join.

"I want to join, sir," Harry firmly proclaimed. "This is the perfect opportunity to become directly involved in the fight against Voldemort." Hermione gave a bittersweet sigh; she knew how much that joining the Order of the Phoenix meant to Harry. Ever since Mr. Potter discovered that the Dark Lord had murdered his parents, he'd wanted vengeance. Hermione couldn't blame him; if someone had killed her parents she'd want revenge too.

"So be it," said Dumbledore, slowly giving him a nod of approval. No one spoke, they felt like this moment was meant for Harry and Dumbledore alone. But eventually, Ernie Macmillan broke the awkward silence.

"Excellent, Harry, old boy." Ernie clasped Harry on the back, causing the green-eyed wizard to wince. "I'm behind you all the way." Sometimes it's a good thing Ernie was so pompous, Hermione thought amusedly.

"I'll join the Order, Harry," promised Parvati.

"Me too," said Terry Boot, a handsome 6th year Ravenclaw boy who's father had been killed by the agents of the Dark Lord. They smiled at each other. Soon all of the teaching staff, the prefects, and the D.A. had pledged their lives to the Order, including Ron and Hermione.

"Excellent," said Dumbledore, beaming. "I'm very pleased that each and everyone of you have decided to join."

"Excuse me, Albus, but how can we help?" Will asked earnestly. But before Dumbledore could reply, Jack butted in.

"Will, mate, are you crazy? We can't exactly help them fight some all powerful wizard!" Jack exclaimed. "Besides, we need to return to our own time. We don't belong here."

Fred and George Weasley, who had arrived the previous day, spoke up.

"About that - we've figured out away to send you back via this time-turner." Fred held up an ancient hour glass complete with an attached long, thread-like silver chain.

"Yes, we wouldn't want you to risk your lives – this isn't your war to fight," George emphasized.

"But –" Will protested, but was cut short when Hagrid arrived, out of breath.

"Headmaster," he panted. "The firs' years are gettin' all worked up… about you know 'oo. And the other students are getting' restless. They keep wantin' ta know…. when they're goin' home." Hagrid looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

"We need to figure out what would be the safest way to escort the students who aren't old enough to apparate home." Dumbledore looked at his audience waiting for suggestions. When she saw there were none, Hermione reluctantly raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" Hermione felt all eyes on her.

"Well, I thought it'd be easiest if the younger students left by train. There is a train that leaves Hogsmeade and travels to London every Monday, right?" The headmaster nodded encouragingly.

"Go on."

"While they ride on the train, all of us," she gestured to the new members of the Order, "could protect them from the air. We can use the school brooms to fly above the train, making sure that no harm comes to those inside." Everyone mulled this idea over for awhile.

"It's a good idea," admitted Will. "The only thing is that I'm afraid that those in the air will be too vulnerable to attack. I don't want anything to happen to you, Hermione." He gazed at her with such caring that she felt her heart might burst. Not to be outdone, Jack quickly added,

"I wouldn't want something to happen to you, Ginny, either." The pirate captain frowned. "Don't ye wizards have some way tha' ye can become invisible? If ye wouldn't be seen, I'd feel a whole lot better about everyone's safety."

"You're brilliant, Jack!" squealed Ginny, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Why thank you, luv," Jack smirked, pointing at himself before giving a mock-bow. "I do me best." Ginny ignored his gloating, and continued on excitedly.

"We can cast the invisibility charm on everyone that is going to patrol the skies above the train!" Ginny watched worriedly as the students and teachers alike whispered among themselves. She breathed a huge sigh of relief when everyone agreed that plan was the best they had.

"Wait a minute," said Harry. "What happens to the kids when the train reaches platform 9 and ¾? None of their parents will be there to take them home as they don't know their children are coming home." Ron turned to his best friend, thinking hard.

"Couldn't we send out a few owls with coded messages to a few people? Like to my father for instance – he wouldn't mind getting the word out about the evacuation." Dumbledore beamed at Ron.

"I was hoping someone would mention that detail – I already sent Dilys from the portrait in my office to her other portrait in St. Mungo's with a message. But I'm pleased to know that you thought to send word of our plan." Ron blushed, but was saved from replying by Ernie Macmillan.

"I say it's time to put this plan into action," crowed Ernie. "Who's ready?"

"I am!" Dean and Seamus answered in unison.

"Me too!" replied Hannah Abbott. One by one, the students declared their enthusiasm. Hermione noted that Harry kept shooting Ernie grateful looks. He must really appreciate not having to be the leader this once.

"Hey, where's Malfoy?" Harry whispered to Ron as the girls went to stand by their respective pirates.

"I dunno," Ron worried, biting his lip. "He's the only prefect that didn't show. Do you think we should mention it to Dumbledore?"

"Nah, I think he already knows," replied Harry. "Besides, he looks like he's got his hands full at the moment." The boy-who-lived pointed at Jack, who was pestering the headmaster.

"But I want ta join the Order!" yelled Jack. "Pleeease!" Dumbledore looked at McGonagall and she shrugged. "Pretty please with me on top?" Jack winked at Ginny who just rolled her eyes. Hermione was the only one who noticed Ginny's faint blush.

"Would you want to join as well, Will?" Dumbledore asked.

"Very much so," the handsome young pirate said eagerly. He gave Hermione a meaningful look and she gave him a grateful smile. She knew Will would never miss out on a chance to protect her. Dumbledore and McGonagall held a mini-conference while everyone else reflected about what they'd just done.

"After much discussion, I suppose that would be alright…" The elderly wizard barely got the words out of his mouth before he was smothered by Jack, who gave him a big bear hug.

"Jack!" Ginny yelled. "Stop that; you'll crush him!" The pirate quickly realized his mistake and released a very shaken-up Dumbledore.

"Sorry, Albus," he said, sheepishly. Dumbledore shrugged and cracked a tiny smile.

"I'm just glad to have your and Will's assistance in our fight against Voldemort." Will and Jack nodded seriously. "Now then, let's start evacuating the younger students." Following him, everyone filed out of the classroom and towards the Great Hall. Dumbledore returned to his place at the head of the staff table and addressed the student body.

"Alright, this is how we will evacuate. First years will line up first behind Hagrid…" Immediately, the first years stood up, chattering excitedly. But before they could head towards the groundkeeper, Dumbledore held up his hands in silence.

"Please sit down. I didn't dismiss you yet." Obediently, the first years returned to their seats. "Now, we have a plan involving some of the older students and teachers that will ensure everyone's safety; but for it to work, you all must remain calm. As I was saying, the first years will line up, and the second years behind them, and so forth. Also, I want everyone to buddy up – I don't mean to insult your ages, but one can never be too careful in these dark times. I don't want anyone left behind." He meaningfully scanned the room, hoping that all of his students would take his suggestion to heart.

Hermione knew exactly who her buddy was…he had put his arm around her when Dumbledore mentioned the idea. Leaning into Will, she listened as the headmaster finished his speech.

"Please, line up in an orderly fashion; you are dismissed." To Hermione's amazement, the students didn't stampede; they just walked to form a queue just as Dumbledore had asked.

As soon as the younger students had followed Hagrid out the front entrance, the new members of the Order clustered around the teachers, who cast the invisibility charm on them, as well as each other. Even Will and Jack had the charm cast upon them.

"Did it work?" Neville asked anxiously to nobody in particular. "I still can see everyone."

"Yes," Hermione assured him. "Since you have an invisibility charm cast upon you, you can see anyone else who is invisible, but to all others you are completely invisible."

"Oh," said, Neville finally understanding the complexity of the spell. McGonagall cut their conversation short.

"We must hurry," she urged the new Order members as they were handed their brooms but Madam Hooch who'd just dashed to the Quidditch locker rooms to retrieve them. "The Death Eaters could be arriving at any moment!" she warned.

Taking her hint, everyone mounted their brooms (except for Will and Jack of course, who rode with Hermione and Ginny, respectively) and flew out of the entrance. The new Order steadily rose in altitude until they could see the train station. Lead by Dumbledore, they swooped down closer to see Hagrid and Madam Pomfrey overseeing the younger students boarding the train. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the train began to pull out of the station.

"Look!" Hermione whispered to Will, pointing at ten figures cloaked in black on brooms that were zooming towards the train. "They must be Death Eaters!"

Dumbledore motioned for them to follow the train as it sluggishly chugged out of Hogsmeade Station. In no time the entire new Order were floating behind Voldemort's goons. The head Death Eater (in this case it looked like Avery) began to signal to the others to begin the attack. Everyone drew their wands, Will hugged Hermione, and a white-faced Jack also hugged Ginny but for a different reason – he was deathly afraid of heights! Dumbledore held up his fingers...three…two…one…

"Stupefy!" The Order members cried in unison. The stunning spells took the unsuspecting Death Eaters by surprise and they cried out in frustration. Many dropped their wands while others simply froze on their brooms. However, one spell missed one of the Death Eaters. Crabbe whirled around in panic, looking for an unseen attacker and found no one.

"Sectumsempra!" Harry roared, shooting the spell right at Crabbe. Blood exploded on the Death Eater's robes; his cries of agony could be heard for miles around. Dumbledore muttered something and the wound began to magically conceal itself. The headmaster helped a dazed Crabbe return to the ground while everyone else looked at Harry in shock.

"I swear I didn't know that spell would affect him that badly!" The boy-who-lived genuinely looked sorry for the damage that his spell had inflicted. "I just wanted to see what it would do."

"Then maybe you should practice it on something that isn't alive," Snape sneered. He turned his back on Harry, and with the rest of the teachers save for McGonagall, helped the stunned Death Eaters fly back to the ground.

"I know you didn't mean it, Harry," Ginny told him, and he felt better. McGonagall cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention.

"It won't be long before the Death Eaters regroup and return for another attack –"

"Don't worry, Professor; we can take 'em!" Ernie assured her, but she shook her head.

"No – I won't allow it. Not until you've had some more training. Besides, I don't want to take the chance that any of the new members may die in the impending fight..."

"But Professor," Harry interjected, "We have nowhere to train. Voldemort's spies are everywhere; if he can infiltrate Hogwarts, than no place is safe."

"Not to worry; I have an idea." Minerva McGonagall motioned to a bewildered looking Fred and George and she whispered her idea to them. Soon the Weasley twins were nodding in approval. Fred announced their new plan to the group.

"We will be going into the past. Precisely, we shall return with Will and Jack to their time, and Harry, my brother, and I will train you in intensive DADA." Will grinned at Hermione, who was relieved that they'd be separated sooner than they had to be. Jack forgot about his fear of heights for a second and pumped his fist in the air.

"Yes! I get to see me Pearl again!"

"Could we all stay on your ship, Captain?" George asked Jack, who shrugged.

"I don't see why not if you don't mind being a bit cramped. The crew may not be happy, but they can always disembark at the next port." Jack gave Ginny a big hug – he was ecstatic about returning to his ship and his old life as Captain of the Black Pearl. Fred pulled out the time turner that he'd thankfully remembered to bring, and threw the chain around Will and Jack's necks. Will squeezed Hermione's hand reassuringly. I hope this works and nothing goes wrong!

"Everyone join hands!" McGonagall ordered, and the new Order members were linked by their hands. All except for McGonagall – she was staying behind to fight. Fred gave the hourglass the right number of turns and Hermione's stomach dropped as she crossed the past dimensions of space and time back to the 18th century.
