When everyone was just sitting down to dinner, they heard footsteps. They all looked and standing right there
was S hood and all. After everyone stared for a few seconds, they went back to their meals. S got a plate and
Harry made room for him to sit with them. He sat down and ate quietly all the while Harry, Jack, and Mr.
Gibbs watched. "And to what do we owe this pleasure to," Jack asked. "Just wanted something fresh for a
change," S said. As they ate, Harry told Mr. Gibbs about his session with Jack. "The boy's almost a natural.
You sure you've never touched a sword before," Jack asked drinking some rum. "Well I wouldn't go that far. I
have done a small amount of practice at my old home but nothing in recent years," Harry said, sipping some
water. "Well, I best be going back to the crows nest now," S said. He got up and nodded to all in turn before
departing.
At least once a week after that he would come for a meal. S would just eat some of the food, drink some
water, and go right back again. Meanwhile, Harry's lessons were very much improving quickly. After one
practice, Jack felt Harry was ready for his own sword. "Once we stop in Tortuga, we'll get you one," he had
said. "Tortuga, ho," S called from atop. "'Aright men, and Anna, let's go," Jack said. Everyone was eager to go
to this island. Harry's first impression was one of disgust. People were drinking and having... doing
inappropriate things in the middle of daylight. And no one cared! Jack took Harry right away to the store. They
spent most of the day there but came out with nothing. Nothing felt right to Harry and Jack understood. "Took
me awhile myself," he'd said. Once they got back on the ship, one of the crew members went over to Jack.
"Found a youngin try'n to steal me money," he said. Jack sighed and went to go deal with it. "Did you find on
then," Gibbs asked. "Nah, none of them was right for me," Harry said back. Jack came back with the one
who'd wronged the other guy. This person was young and wearing something over their face. It was a girl,
obviously because they were wearing a dress. He took off the veil and... "Cassie," Harry said. She looked at
him and her eyes went wide. "Harry," she said back. It's alright, she's a friend of mine," Harry said to Jack. He
gave a small smile and let go. "Harry, what's going on," Cassie asked. "I dunno, let's go down to the galley and
talk." All of this was being watched by a certain someone in the crow's nest.
"Let me repeat my previous statement of what's going on," Cassie asked again. "I woke up on that pit of an
island, stole a dress and learned how to pick pockets from a stranger who took me in." "I know about as much
as you do. I woke up on some island and joined Captain Sparrow's pirate crew. He's a great guy. Maybe you
can stay with us, they could use more women on board," Harry said excited. "That would be great, I really
missed you. But what about...you know...magic?" "I'm not sure, I haven't tried anything yet. It would've made
life easier though on board. Still got my wand though." He took his out while she took out her own. "Is 'ere
something going on down here," Jack asked poking his head inside. "No, jus a talk between old friends," Harry
said as they hid their wands. Jack didn't really believe them but went along with it anyway. "And what is your
name miss," he asked walking in. "Cassie," she said a little worried he might hurt her. "Is she the friend you told
me about earlier," Jack asked. Harry gulped and nodded his head. "Well then, welcome to the ship," Jack said
cordially, kissing her hand and leaving again. Just before he was gone completely, he stuck his head in again.
"Just one thing Emerald," he said. Cassie almost started to laugh but Harry stepped on her foot. "Don' forget to
introduce her to the crew," he said before leaving again. Cassie busted out laughing. "Emerald," she said
between breaths. "Yeah well, what now," he asked. "Well I was reading a book once that a long time ago, 13
was the average age of the adult wizard and witch." Harry decided to test it. "Wingardium Leviosa," he said
and Cassie gently began to float in the air. "Fine, you had fun but put me down!" Harry, ever so slowly, put her
back. They waited a whole ten minutes and nothing ever came. "Guess you were right," Harry said. "Aren't I
always," Cassie said. "Why don't you help me make dinner then," Harry said and the two went on it.
Together the two of them made enough food for an army (which means it took the crew 5 extra minutes to eat
it). Harry introduced Cassie to the crew too. "And she's my age so no funny business," Harry said. After that,
everything went back to normal, as normal can be on a pirate ship. Cassie took a few lessons from Jack as
well and was almost as natural as Harry. Before they left, which was two weeks since they landed, Jack took
Cassie to buy a sword and she found one. It was gold with a lovely handle with a rose engraved on it. "Thank
you Jack," she said even after they began to sail away.
Meanwhile, she was being watched intently by someone in the crow's nest. It was S. He seemed to be thinking
about something very hard. There was a fly that began to buzz by his ear. He lifted his hand and pointed it at
the bug. "Stupefy," he said and the fly was stunned to the ground. That night, he came down for dinner once
again. He finalized his schedule to Thursdays and Sundays so he told Harry to have an extra plate ready for him
on those nights. He went over to the usual table and found another girl sitting there too. "'Evening S, have a
seat," Jack said. He sat down next to him and looked at the new girl. "Hello S, I'm Cassie," she said. He shook
her hand and looked to Jack for an explanation. "A friend of young Harry's," he said shrugging. "So, where
exactly are we heading for Captain," S asked. "Port Royal. Got a wedding to go to," he said. Everyone at the
table but Cassie dropped their silverware. "The place you're wanted for...all of that stuff you told me about,"
Harry asked. "Well I was invited but I have to go incognito," he said winking. For a moment, Harry was
reminded of Mr. Weasley at the Quidditch World Cup. "This is going to be interesting," Harry thought to
himself.
Yay, Cassie's back. Hope you liked it. Review Please
