Chapter 2

Vacationing With the Dursley's

Disclaimer: You don't recognize it, I own it.

The Dursley's were going on vacation to some resort near the sea. Uncle Vernon's company was paying for it. About three days before they were supposed to leave, Uncle Vernon called "Boy! Get down here, now!"

Harry came downstairs and said "Yes, Uncle Vernon?"

"No one is available to watch you for the next week while we go on vacation so you have to come with us. You will not be disturbing us while we are there. You will share a room with Dudley. And no funny business while we are there. You better behave while there." Uncle Vernon said, "Go upstairs and pack. Now!"

Harry went upstairs to pack. He didn't exactly want to go with the Dursley's but he would live. He wouldn't have to do chores. He would be able to relax. He loved the thought of that. Harry had been staying with the Dursley's until his birthday because of what Dumbledore wanted.

Harry and the Dursley's checked into the resort. They unpacked. And then the Dursley's wanted to go sailing. They took Harry and went down to the docks. There was a girl there who was wearing a black tank top that said Sparrow's Ships on it in white letters, with blue denim shorts. She was about 5'8 and had dark brown hair that went down to the middle of her back. She had a good tan, which was probably because of all the sailing she did. She also had a tattoo around her right wrist. The girl was just tying up a boat. The girl saw the Dursley's and said "Are you looking to go sailing?"

"As a matter of fact we are. Would you know where one of the captains might be?" Vernon said.

"You're looking at one. My name is Captain Chris Turner." The girl said.

"You're a captain? You look barely eighteen. You're a silly girl. You couldn't possibly sail." Vernon spat.

"Actually, I am seventeen. I am not a silly girl. I have been sailing since I was three. I became a captain when I was fifteen. I can sail very well, but if you don't want me to be your captain, then you will have to wait until tomorrow because none of the other captains are here. Just the crew and trainees. So, are you going to let me be your captain or are you going to wait until tomorrow for another captain?" Chris said.

"Come on dad. She looks like she knows what she is doing. We should sail. It will be fun. If something goes wrong we can always sue." Dudley said, eyeing Chris. Chris rolled her violet eyes at this.

"Well I guess you're right. I am Vernon Dursley. This is my son, Dudley and my wife, Petunia. This is our nephew Harry. Well, you better be a good captain." Vernon said.

Chris took them onto the boat. She started sailing. She was very good at it. If only they knew that she was the heir of Captain Jack Sparrow, the pirate. If only they knew that she was a witch, too. Then they wouldn't be so rude. She could curse them into oblivion if she wanted to. Suddenly Uncle Vernon said "Boy go see if she needs help."

"Yes, Uncle Vernon." Harry replied. Harry went up to the front of the sail boat and asked Chris "Do you need any help?"

"No, I got it under control."

"Well can I stay up here so I don't have to go back there?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, sure." Chris said with a small laugh. "So, what is Harry Potter doing with people like them?"

"You're a witch." Harry said, stating the obvious, "Well, they have custody of me until I am seventeen. So I am basically screwed until I am seventeen."

"Well that sucks. You go to Hogwarts right?" Chris asked.

"Yeah."

"I am transferring there this year. I used to go to Salem School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the U.S. I just come here for summers. But my dad wants me to go to school here because his family is here. It sorta sucks but, I deal." Chris said. –I am getting pretty damn good at lying– Chris thought.

"Well what about your mum? Does she want to be here?" Harry asked.

"She died when I was about fourteen. So it's just me and my dad." Chris said, "Not really sure that it makes a difference though. I am usually out here sailing anyway."

"How is it that you are a witch and you sail this well?" Harry asked.

"Well everyone in my family has sailed. So I kinda grew up around a bunch of sailors. It was easy to catch onto stuff. I am half blooded though. I grew up around muggle and magic customs. Sailing happens to be a major muggle custom in my family." Chris said.

"So that is why you are a captain at seventeen." Harry stated.

"Yeah." Chris said, "So, is Hogwarts as great as everyone says it is?"

"Yeah, I guess it is. I love it because it gets me away from them." Harry said signaling to the Dursleys. After about an hour and a half of sailing and talking to Harry, she had to bring the boat in. Vernon paid her.

"I'll see you around Harry." Chris said so that the Dursleys couldn't hear her.

"Definitely." Harry responded.

And to think, Harry almost decided not to go back to school.
