Chapter 2: Diagon Alley and Jack's First New Friend
Third POV
A week later closer to September there was a knock on the door, while everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.
"Who the bloody fuck is that. Edward get that door and tell them to go the fuck away and solve their own fucking problems" Grandmamma Teague yelled.
Edward Teague got up from the table and got the door opening with his hand on his pistol.
"Mr. Teague?"
"It's Captain Teague, and what are you here for"
"I am your wife's uncle. And I am here to take you, your wife, and your son to Diagon Alley to get his Uniform, Trunk, and Wand"
"Babe, who is it?" a female voice said before showing her face.
"Hello, Danny," he said.
"Hello, Uncle Oliver. Does my father know you are here?"
"No, and honestly if he doesn't have another kid soon the Lordship of this family is going to go to your son."
"So dear old daddy still can't get it up to span another child. And I already know it's not with mamma because the Medi witch has even said she can't have any more children."
"Your right about that one. Now I'm on a little time crunch to get back to England so I can pick up some others as well. "
"Ok, Uncle Oliver. One moment. "
"Danny I am supposed to set sail tonight and you even told me you and Jackie were going?"
"Don't worry Edward we will be back by tonight. You are about to experience one of the ways that we Wizards and Witches travel. Now let me go get our boy" she told him walking up the stairs to Jack's room.
When she opened the door, he wasn't there.
"Edward! " She screamed.
"What is it?" he yelled back.
"Where is he?" Edward asked his niece after running up the stairs.
"He said he was going out and not to bother him" Valerie, Jack's cousin smirking trying to get him in trouble.
"MOM! DAD! Let me out!" They heard banging on a door that led to the weapon room.
"Fuck!" She exclaimed running off. Edward ran over to the weapon room trying to open the door only to find that it would not open at all even with a key.
"I'm going to kill that girl. Jack stand back son" Edward told him stepping back and taking out his pistol; shooting the door handle off once he had heard Jack back up.
Jack come out of the room, and Edward looked into the room to see a shit tone of rope, and a bowl of water all on the floor.
"So, what did you do this time to piss her off this time, son?"
"Nothing, dad. I have been in my room the whole time reading. And this morning when I woke up, I found myself in this room tied up and my hand in a bowl of warm water."
"Well come on we are leaving, son. It's time to go get your wand" Edward told him putting his arm around his son; leading him down the stairs where his mother went to deal with the other children.
"Come on Danny, we'll deal with this later" pulling her and Jack to where her uncle was standing.
He closed the door behind them and grabbed ahold of the item that Oliver Sparrow had and they vanished reappearing in Diagon Alley.
"Welcome to the Leaky Cauldron and thank you for meeting me here, kids"
"Pirate" one kid exclaimed backing up.
"He is Mr. Norrington but he won't hurt you."
"But Professor Sparrow, sir. He's Captain Teague one of the most fearsome pirates out there, sir. My father and brother are always chasing him"
"Son, I give you my word, that I will not hurt you," Edward said bending down to his height.
"Why are these kids here by themselves?" Edward then asked Oliver.
"Because our parents kicked us out." one of the girls spoke up.
"Not surprising. Not when people think the way they do." Danielle said as her uncle led them into Diagon Alley.
"Edward that kid what is his name. The one that pointed you out?"
"That is Samuel Lawrence Norrington, the oldest son of Lawrence Norrington."
"The one that went missing. A few months ago?"
"Aye. It was around the time that those letters went out." Edward replied.
"Why don't we take him in, Edward?"
"Because that boy would not survive a day in our household with my family the way they are."
"But I will look into it. Just give it this year and if you are still wanting to take him in then we can." Edward told her as she watched them exit the bank.
"Who is that girl that Jack is talking to?" Edward asked Oliver when he showed up.
"That is Ms. Barnes the only daughter of Lord Barnes. She has an older brother in his 3rd year. And the guy following behind them is Lord Steven Barnes."
"Actually, I'm right beside you, Oliver. Hello, I'm Steven Barnes but you can call me Steve"
"Hello, Steve I'm Captain Edward Teague. You can call me Edward. " Shaking his hand
"Your son has that same wild spirit about him my daughter does. And it's nice to see you again Daniel "
Jack's POV
"Hello I'm Alex"
"Hello, Alex, I'm Jack," I said shaking her hand.
"You excited about Hogwarts?"
"Yes, I am luv"
"What House do you think you are going to be in?"
"What are the Houses' you talking about luv?"
"The houses are what we are sorted into. It's where we stay while we are in school. The Houses are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. I think I will be going to Slytherin. Not only is it one of the houses that my family is sorted in, but my father said with how determined I am to get out to sea, and I would do anything to get out there."
"Anything Aye, luv" Jack said in a teasing tone.
"Anything, Jack and why are you calling me luv?" Alex asked me.
"Don't know. So, what would you say that I will be going out to sea with my father and mother, what would you do?"
"I would be your best friend in the whole world"
"And?"
"And what more do you want?"
"Well how about I give you all my money? Please, Jack. Please"
"Johnathon Edward Teague - Sparrow stop teasing that young lady right now. If her father doesn't care she can come along," Daniel spoke up.
"Please, daddy. May I?" she asked.
"Edward is it ok with you?" Mr. Barnes asked.
"It's fine with me but it is a Pirate ship"
"Then Alexandra, you may go with them."
"Thank you, so much. Daddy" she said jumping up and down.
"You're going to listen to Captain Teague and keep safe young lady."
"When are you guys leaving?" Mr. Barnes asked.
"We plan to leave tonight when we get home, Steve."
"Ok, if you don't mind, I will take her home and meet you back here in an hour before you leave?" he asked.
"Yeah, we'll wait for you," Edward said as we made it back to the Leaky Cauldron.
An Hour Later
Steve Barnes's POV
Of course, my daughter befriends a kid of a Pirate. I had gotten her trunk while we were out that shrinks and unshrinks with the touch of her wand. My little girl is growing up and I don't like it much at all, but it's not like I can stop it. So, I just waited for my daughter to pack her things while I was in the office. I pulled out my pistol and the powder and bullets so I could hand it over to my daughter. And most parents wouldn't do that, but I taught her to shoot when she was just 7 years old, and while on that ship she needs a way to protect herself.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock on the door, so I looked up and saw my little girl standing there dressed as a boy.
"Come here, princess. "
"I'm ready to go, daddy"
"Not quite yet princess I need you to put this in your trunk" handing over the gun and things to go with it. Once I made sure it was in her trunk safely tucked away, I took her to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Hello, Edward. "
"Hello, Steve. Here is Alex and hopefully this is enough money to feed her as well as some spending money for her. And don't worry it's already been converted from Wizarding money." Handing him a sack of coins for my daughter.
"Ok, thank you. Steve, it is plenty to feed her on and have plenty of spending money." Edward replied.
After that, they grabbed an item off the table, and I watched them leave not sure if I made the right decision. But it was too late for me to take it back.
