Chapter 2: Just a Distraction
:Hermione's Point of View:
Stupid Ron...He's my friend and all, but, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He should not have played around with the time turner. It is my property.
"Just great" I sighed. I have landed in...sand. SAND For crying out loud here I managed to get myself up. Spitting sand out of my mouth in the process. For some strange reason, I wasn't wearing the clothes I had on earlier. I looked down to see a corset and a pale pink dress over it. "Bloody Hell" I murmured. "Where am I. More importantly, where is everyone else?"
:Author's Point of View:
Hermione observed her surroundings until she spotted a man in the distance. Hermione figured from her clothes and the ships around the area, not to mention the sand, that she was in fact in the 18th century.
"This corset hurts like hell." she gasped for breath. Hermione then saw her chance and ran up to the man.
"Excuse Me." She tapped him on the back from behind. He stopped.
"Who are you?" he slurred. The man was tall, dread lock hair, and a piratey get-up.
"I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?" she responded.
"Captain Jack Sparrow" he answered.
He's kind of dashing for a captain Hermione thought. "Well Captain" she emphasized the word. "Where is your ship?"
"Umm.." Jack paused to think. "You see.. My ship is over there." he pointed ot one of the ships that was guarded by two soldiers up ahead. "I am going to commandeer it."
"You mean steal it?"
"You can say that if you like.." he smirked.
His smirk is way better than Malfoy's...I give him that.
"But.."
"And you can help me." he walked faster.
"How can I help you with that?" Hermione snapped. Shr tried to catch up to him. "Because I won't "
"Oh come on...you know you want to..." Jack teased.
"Do I have a choice in the matter?"
"Not really."
"Fine." Hermione sighed. "I'll help..."
"I knew you would, Miss.."
"You know.. Just call me Hermione."
"Fine then...Hermione...you can talk to them." She looked at the guards.
"So...I'm a piece of BAIT?" she got angry
"No. A distraction." He corrected her. Pretty beautiful for a distraction.
"Fine. I'll do it."
"Excelllent, love." he smirked again. Hermione gave him a weird look and went over the guards. For some strange reason, she like the way he said that to her.
"Excuse me?" she asked them. "I was wondering what is going up above."
Wow...I am good at this...she told herself.
"Uh..." A fat guard started to say something.
"The Commedor Norrington has a gala in his honor."
"Oh. That's swell." Meanwhile, Jack went onto the ship. The two guards began to stare at Hermione, and not at her face. "Why aren't you two there? Wasn't everyone invited?"
"We have to keep watch here Madam." the fat one spoke again. The tall one looked around the area and finally spotted Jack. Hermione saw him nudge the fat one.
"Get off of there " the fatty finally turned around.
"Jack " she hissed. "We're busted." he grabbed onto a rope and swung down from the ship he tried to get away with.
"We?" the guards asked in unison.
"Um...I meant you " she pointed in Jack's Direction.
"No you didn't love"
"Stop calling me that Jack " she hissed. Wait..I kind of like that...What is happening to me? Hermione asked herself .Jack tried to make another getaway, but the guards were more aware than that.
"Hault.. Pirate." the tall one approached him. Jack went right in front of Hermione.
"And you too Miss." the other one remembered.
"Me?" she shrieked
"Who do you think we were talking to?"
"I...I..um...I was just a distraction I have nothing to do with piracy."
"Sure you don't" they said sarcastically.

Meanwhile..While all of this took place
(AN: had to.)
Thud. A black haired boy with piercing green eyes landed in the middle of ...so called social action. Still numb from the fall. All of a sudden, a woman in a elegant pale colored dress came to Harry.
"Are you ok?" she asked. Harry stared into the woman's eyes. She was tall, pale skinned, and her hair was in tight, neat curls.
"Where am I?" Harrys sounded dazed and confused.
"In Port Royal."
"Oh Bloody Hell."
"What?"
"My head."
"Here. Let me help you." She grabbed Harry by the arm and got him off the ground.
"Thanks" Harry spoke.
"Your welcome." she smiled at Harry. "I haven't seen you before. What is your name?"
"Harry Potter." he stated. "And yours?"
"I am Elizabeth Swann."
"Nice to meet you Miss Swann" harry grinned.
"Pleasure is mine, Mr. Potter"
Elizabeth turned around to see Commodore James Norrington approached her.
"May I have a word?"
"Sure. Nice meeting you Harry." she left with the Commodore. That Harry guy is not that bad. Better than Norrington. Elizabeth commentated in her mind.
Before Harry could say a word, they were gone. Something kept her in his mind.
Just a Distraction from getting out of here...he thought. Just a lovely distraction...
AN: please read and review. Next chapter title: Can't breathe, Can't believe. Ron and Ginny will appear soon. And um...More Jack Hermione! Lol.
