(AN: Now on the Commodore's ship. The Dauntless)
"So. Thanks for saving us." Hermione tried to make light of the rescue. No responce from Commmodore Norrington.
"We were better off on the island, Hermione."
"Were not, Jack."
"Were so."
"And why is that?"
"Because. It was the perfect life for me..."
"For you? What about me?"
"The world does not revolve around you, love."
"Neither does it apply to you."
"AS I was saying." Jack cleared his throat. "It was perfect on that spit of land. Just You, Me, and the rum. And you had to ruin it, didn't you." his voice filled with some anger. Hermione couldn't find any words to come back with.
"IF you two would stop bickering." Commodre finally spoke up. Jack and Hermione were silent. "Where is Elizabeth?"
"I don't know." Hermione snapped.
"I do." Jack answered. "And I will help you find her if you promise to free Hermione from any charges she has made against Port Royal."
Hermione's jaw became opened. He wouldn't...
Commondore paused. His hand was on his chin. Thinking of the offer. "Agreed." The two men shook on it.
Commodore commanded the ship. Jack beside him for his part in the agreement. Hermione ran to find a room that had no one in sight. It was all rushing to her head.

(AN: Back to the Black Pearl)
Jack's crew was now in the cells in the Black Pearl. Elizabeth kept in a spearate one because of social status and value.
"This sucks!" Ginny whined.
"I know." Will put his arms around Ginny.
Harry was separated from Elizabeth, which made it worse for him. The whole thing was Ron's fault. And he knew it. His best friend broke the time turner, and died in the process.
"Harry?" Ginny turned to her friend.
"Yeah?"
"I miss Ron."
"Me too, Gin." It was silent again.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"I wonder how Hermione is right now..."
"Me too. I hope she is all right. Especially with Jack."
"Oh she will." Ginny said in a semi sing song voice.
"And why is that?"
"I'll never tell."
The night went on. And everyone was waiting for the each other. It was going to be a long night.
