Chapter 9: Change for the worst

The tavern was a wild and rowdy place. Fights starting. Fat Prostitutes sliding their tongues down ugly mens' mouths. Hermione and Ginny were disgusted by that.

"That will never be us" Hermione told Ginny. They nodded. They promised themselves that they would not sink that low. Will and the two girls stood around while Jack and Gibbs chatted. The rowdy women stared at Will. Ginny took his hand. Hermione knew what was running through Ginny's head.

If only I had the guts to be like that to Jack...

Will tried to get away from the atrocious women. Still holding onto Ginny. He could hear the pirates use his name.

"Well, that is the only son of Bootstrap Bill Turner" Jack slurred. Gibbs, shocked, spit some of his rum out.

"You got to be kidding, Jack."

"No joke. And he will help us get the ship back." Will had heard enough.

Hermione on the other hand, was bored. Leaning against a wall. A sudden tap on the shoulder came upon her. She turned around quickly.

"Mione?" It was none other than Ron Weasley.

"Ronald " she smiled with relief. they had finally found him. Ginny heard her squeals of joy and saw her hug Ron. "So good to see you again. And thank god your not dead " she hugged him again. Jack Sparrow saw the sight. He couldn't help but feel a singe of envy.

If only I was as lucky as he is now...

Ginny let go of Will's hand and ran over to her brother.

"Ron " she hugged him. "Mum would have killed me if you died."

"Yeah." He sighed.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"I need to talk about the you know what to you two alone." they understood the circumstances. If someone found out their secret, it would be devastating. The friends tried to find a secluded place to converse. Ron then pulled out one half of the time turner.

"Oh great." Hermione grunted sarcastically.

"Look. I'm sorry, Mione. And well, we could figure a way to get out of this."

"I doubt it, Ron.You know, We probably will be stuck here forever, Ron."

"Don't say that Mione" he tried to bring hope to the situation they were in.

"If we can't find the other half, we are stuck. And plus, its split in half." she stated. "And the sand is missing on the inside."

"Have you seen Harry at all?" Ron tried to change the subject.

"Yeah."

"You have, Hermione?" Ginny interrupted.

"Yeah. He was with another woman and some other people. And now.." Hermione stopped.

"I know." Ginny stopped her again. "I saw him get kidnaped. From a distance though."

"You serious?" Hermione and Ron sounded surprised. "Yeah. Sorry that I didn't tell you that Mione."

"Well. That sucks " Hermione watched Gibbs and Jack. They were getting up to leave. "Come on you guys " They followed Hermione to the pirates and Will.

"Wait " they all cried. Jack and Gibbs stopped. Will, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny ran over.

"Where are you going?" Hermione snapped.

"Finding the rest of our crew for our ship, love." Jack smirked. Hermione and the gang went off.

I think that sexy smirk could potentially kill me...she grinned to herself..And will probably get me in loads of trouble...

(AN: Back to Elizabeth and Harry)

"Miss Turner.."the duo that kidnaped Harry and Elizabeth came over to them with a clothing item of some sort.

"What's that?" Elizabeth asked.

"It's a dress. You and your fiancé will be dining with the captain tonight." Harry and Elizabeth then looked at each other in horror.

This is not good.. They both thought.

"And what if we refuse..." Elizabeth stirred.

"Then you will be dining with the crew. And You'll be naked.: they laughed.

"We'll take the first choice." Harry stammered. Elizabeth snatched the dress.

"Sorry for dragging you into this..."

"You said it to many times, Elizabeth. It's nothing, really." he smiled at her. It gave her some comfort. "As long as I am with you, everything is alright." She pasued or a moment.

..That is the sweetest thing a guy has ever said to me...wow...

She kissed Harry passionately and then let go. "Better get changed." she left his side. A little while later, she came back. The dress was a dark purple with black lace lining.

"You look...stunning.." Harry was smitten.

"Thanks." she blushed. The two went off to the dinner. Captain Barbossa stood waiting. They came into the captain's quarters. It looked antique and seaworthy. Elizabeth went to take a seat. Harry pushed her chair in after she sat down.

"Thanks Harry." Harry then took a seat. An awkward silence came over the three.

I swear this is fun...Harry's mind spoke sarcastically.

Harry Harry Harry...she said his name in her head over and over again...I love Harry

"What are you two standing around there for?" Barbossa ended the silence.

"You're trying to kill us." Harry and Elizabeth spat out at the same time.

"Now why would I do that?" he grinned evilly.

"You have your trinket, now why do you need us still?" she snapped.

"Well. I am keeping your fiancé here for you to stay onboard. And we need your blood, Miss Turner."

"What?" she gasped.

"Well. This lovely couple has heard the stories...right?"

He said...couple.. Harry and Elizabeth thought.

"What stories?" the two darted.

"Well. I guess you haven't." he then began the story. He told of a treasure from Cortez. And how it was cursed. Barbossa and his crew took all the pieces, and spent them. When they realized that they had become the living dead, they crossed the Caribbean to find all 882 pieces. And that the medallion was the last one. And that Elizabeth's blood, or so they thought, would help break the curse.

"Well, captain." she spoke. "I don't believe in ghost stories."

"You should, Miss Turner." All three rose.

"And why is that?" she snarled.

"For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it." he complained. "Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh."

Harry and Elizabeth backed out of the room out onto the outside of the ship. The moonlight shining bright. Barbossa's complexion was skeleton like. And so was the rest of the crewElizabeth's face changed, fear reflecting in it. So was Harry's.

"You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. You're in one." he grunted. Barbossa chugged a bottle of wine that was in his hand. The crimson liquid went through his bones. Elizabeth ran back inside the captain's cabin. Harry following behind.

For Harry and his friends, they were experiencing change..for the worst.
