Chapter 3: The Pirate and the Princess

Harry had been pacing around one of the many rooms of his pirate ship for an hour now. Ron stood there, silently watching him while Hermione was still rather angry at the both of them for even thinking of kidnapping the innocent princess.

On Harry's face there was a small trace of worry. He had sent Neville, Dean and Seamus to kidnap the princess and they had been gone for almost three hours now. What if they had been cached and are now dead? That thought crossed Harry's mind more than once and didn't want to leave him be. He felt guilty at sending the three of them but he had thought that the people from Hogwarts Land already knew them since they went there once a month and the three even knew the place better than anyone else. What if Hermione was right? That other thought wouldn't leave him alone either. He deep down knew that Hermione was right and that he shouldn't make an innocent princess pay for what the ferret Malfoy boy had done many years ago. But then again, that would hurt the ferret boy. That would hurt his pride. Harry knew that he was acting like a selfish teenage boy who always thought only of himself, without minding the others. But his whole life had been for the others. The whole training he had done so that he could defeat Voldemort. All of that had been for the people, even for those of Hogwarts Land. He couldn't allow Voldemort to take over the world and slaughter people. He bad to be stopped and if Harry was the only one who could do it, then so be it.

Harry sighed, finally sitting down. His feet slightly ached from the pacing he had done.

"You have no reason to be nervous Harry. We're all pirates, we have learned how to defend ourselves long ago." said Ron. Ah Ron… Ron had always been the heart of their little group. He always truly believed in what he was doing. You could say that he was only a dreamer but the ones that truly knew him, knew that he was much more than that. If not, how on earth did he manage to capture strict Hermione's heart?

Light footsteps could be heard outside the room. Harry sat up again, feeling anxious. Could this be good or bad news?

Romilda hurriedly entered the room and Harry fought back a groan of annoyance. Romilda had been born in Pirate Land. She had an infatuation in Harry but Harry knew that it was only because he was the prince and good looking. All in one pack, some would say. She had been shamelessly flirting with him since she had become a maid in his castle, three years ago. It had recently reached Harry's ears that she had spread rumors of hers and his supposed secret engagement. Some woman had believed her but the pirates only rolled their eyes, they knew better. When Romilda saw that no one believed her, she became even more determined at getting Harry's attention. She had even planned on becoming pregnant once but since Harry hadn't looked at a girl in a romantic sort of way for a year now, it became more difficult too. Now, seeing her give him another one of her looks, Harry finally rolled his eyes. He yawned:

"Yes, Romilda?" Hermione hid a giggle in her palm while Ron looked out the window, trying to stifle his laughter. Romilda clearly didn't notice that she was currently laughed at, so she continued:

"Neville, Dean and Seamus have arrived, sir."

Harry tried to hide his relief at her words and it worked quite well. At least better then last time, the prince silently mused. Did they finish their task? Is the princess with them?

"Let them in." He calmly and slowly sat back on his seat. He had seen Remus do so many time but Harry only managed to look ridiculous.

Neville and Seamus stepped into the room and bowed at Harry. Harry had been ready to nod at them but then he had noticed that Dean was missing. Panic filled every part of Harry and his two pirates, seeing the look of panic plastered across his face, instantly knew why. Seamus called annoyed:

"Dean, stop staring at the princess and get here already."

Relief flooded through Harry and a big smile was now etched across his face, making him look as if he were mad.

Neville and Seamus stepped aside and Dean entered, carrying a person in a very beautiful and very white dress. Dean looked as if he were on a trance as he kept staring down into the face of the young princess. Seamus groaned and stepped on Dean's foot, making Dean swear and snap out of whatever trance he had been in.

Harry could clearly hear the loud protests of Hermione. She didn't exactly want to hide them.

"Where do I put her, Harry?" asked Dean, as if regretting it.

Harry thought for a moment, before a really great and disturbing thought at the same time, occurred him. He, smirking all the way, answered:

"In my room. On my bed." Dean looked horrified but quickly did as he was told. Ron also started smirking and moved over to Harry to pat him lightly on the back. The only problem had been Hermione. She screamed, downright outraged:

"What are you doing Harry? I hope you don't even think of romancing her to get her in bed with you. You will not take advantage of her, Harry. You will not! No matter how much you hate Draco, the poor girl has no fault in this story. This is too much. I will not allow it." Harry cringed at her words. Apparently everyone had gotten the wrong idea. He only wanted to frighten the princess a little. He wouldn't touch her because he was sure that she had been already touched by Malfoy and that made him nauseous.

"I won't do anything Hermione. She's a princess so she needs somewhere comfortable to be in while we sail across the ocean. I'm sure that she's not familiar to this whole thing. And she's used to wealth." Hermione's face softened but she still looked questioningly at him:

"She could have my room. Yeah, that's it. Apart from Sirius's and Remus's room, mine, yours and Ron's are the best ones on this ship." Hermione was smiling now, seeming satisfied and apparently excited at the idea of having another sane girl as her friend. She seemed to have forgotten the circumstances.

"NO! I mean, no." Harry laughed nervously. Hermione looked ready to protest but thankfully, Ron cut in and reassured her:

"Hermione, you know that Harry wants you to have your own big room and a bed for yourself. Two people in your room will be too much. I'm sure that Harry won't be sleeping there. He'll just go and talk to her, explain everything and then come and sleep on this couch." Hermione looked almost convinced so Ron hastily added, whispering so that Harry couldn't hear him: "And besides, what about my usual visits in the middle of the night?" He winked at her and Hermione looked as if she wanted to smack him, but she was blushing all the way.

Harry, not really paying attention to the two of them, let his thoughts wander over to the princess. He had only negatively thought about her. He saw her as a female Malfoy but a small thought popped into his head, making him wonder if she was, perhaps, like his mother. Harry hadn't met his mother but he had seen pictures of her and Remus and Sirius always used to tell him stories about his parents when he had been little. Harry realized how stupid he was acting. Even if she was like his mother had been, which he doubted, she was Malfoy's fiancée. He couldn't and wouldn't think of her otherwise.

After dismissing Dean, Neville and Seamus, he anxiously went to his quarters. Would the princess be as beautiful as the boys told him she was? Or would she be an ugly stuck-up royal princess who was totally brain-less?

With a pounding heart and with an expression filled with curiosity, he opened the wooden doors and stepped inside.

For a moment, he thought that his heart had momentarily stopped beating. The sight that greeted him was nothing he had prepared for. An angel was laying on his bed. Her fiery red hair was sprawled against his white pillow, looking something similar to blood on the enchanted snow. Her white dress was a little dirty and ripped. Because of it being a little ripped, he could slightly see her long, beautiful legs and her long and elegant neck. Her skin was milky white, a couple of pale freckles were plastered across her shoulders and her small but perfect nose. Her not to full but not to thin lips were a pale red and Harry could only be transfixed by them. His hand reached out, his need to feel her soft skin against his hand was almost blinding him, making him forget who he was, who she was. At that moment, he was only Harry and she was only a beautiful young woman.

Just as he was about to touch her cheek, he withdrew his hand as if he had been burned. What was wrong with him? He had learned how to control his emotions long time ago. After a year of being in control, it only takes a girl to come and his hormones are back again. He shook his head. No, this would not happen. She was Malfoy's fiancée, for Blackbeard's sake. He could not be lusting after her like a hormone-driven teenager.

He was startled when the princess stirred. He looked her over once again, wondering how had Draco found such a beautiful creature.

Enough of this nonsense Harry. You'll soon see that she's exactly like Malfoy and you'll learn to hate her as much as you hate him.
