Pirate Blood

Chapter 10

Club Meeting

Draco ran to the Slytherin Common room. "Blaise! I need you to come to the Heads common room!" he said, out of breath.

Blaise looked at him. "Okay, man. Chill out for millisecond. Let's go to your common room. I'll talk to you later guys." Blaise and Draco got into the Head common room. "Why did Granger turn down this awesome place?" he asked as he look around.

"Chris."

"The American chick?"

"Yeah. She wanted to stay in her regular dorm because she wanted to stay with Chris, that's what I need to talk to you about." Draco said.

"Well? Out with it already!" Blaise exclaimed.

"I kissed her." Draco said.

"You what?"

"I don't know why. I feel like...like...like I'm on top of the world. I feel like I could conquer everyone. I feel like I'm on ecstacy, man." Draco said seriously.

"Are you sure you haven't been sniffing to much Floo Powder?"

"No, I feel like...like...like the way I did when me and Kaylee first got together." Draco said.

"Look Draco, you barely know this chick. You need to–"

"No, Blaise. It's amazing how much she is like Kaylee though. They both have purple eyes, like the same music, love the same subjects–"

"Draco! Look, may you feel like this now, but maybe you forgot about your life, Rachel, that name ring any bells?" Blaise said angrily.

"I would never forget about Rachel. How could you say that?"

"I am just trying to make a point. What would Rachel think when you brought Chris home? And what if Kaylee came back?" Blaise said.

"You know damn well that Kaylee isn't coming back, Zambini, she left. No one seems to be able to find her! Let's face it, I wouldn't be in this situation if she was here! So you can fucking forget about Kaylee coming back!" Draco said, fighting back tears.

"Well, I really thought that you would be the last one to give up on Kaylee. Pansy, Hermione, and I still haven't given up, yet you have. Maybe you should tell Rachel that. I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that." Blaise took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "You're really pissed off at her aren't you?"

"Yeah. You would be to." Draco said.

"Well Kaylee isn't dead. No, I mean that I have proof she isn't dead. Look, I can't tell you right now because I want all the members of the club to be here. I am sending an owl out to Hermione and Pansy, you can come in now."

Pansy walked through the portrait hole. "How do you do that?" Pansy asked.

"Well let's see I've known you for as long as I can remember. I have learned that you eavesdrop on everything people don't include you in." Blaise said.

"Oh, that makes sense." Pansy said.

"I just sent out an owl for Hermione." Blaise said.

About ten minutes later Hermione came in. "Hey Draco, Blaise, Pansy." Hermione said, smiling and hugging each of them. "I hate not being able to have a civilized conversation with you guys. How were your summers?"

"Good. My God Hermione, you went back to blonde! And, your wearing a mini skirt! Oh my God! I love those shoes!" Pansy said.

"Thanks, Pansy. I guess I decided that I didn't want to be so predictable anymore. Draco, Blaise, what do you think?" Hermione asked.

"You look great Hermione."

"You do look pretty hot, Granger." Draco said, surprised.

"Why thank you. But wouldn't a certain Turner be a little upset with that remark?" Hermione asked.

"How did you know about that!"

"Chris told me when she got back to our dormitory. She didn't want to tell anyone else. But she wasn't to happy about the way you left. 'Sorry I can't do this'? I mean, really, how cliche can you get?"

"Dammit Hermione! Keep your mouth shut!"

"You didn't tell Blaise that part! Well at least not that I could hear." Pansy said.

"Draco, how could you run out on her? Hermione's right, that is so cliche." Blaise agreed.

"Ah, left out that little detail?" Hermione asked Draco. She just loved to piss him off. They'd lived next door to each other since they were eight years old, so she knew exactly how to piss him off.

"Look, we're not here to discuss Draco's cliche techniques of getting the girl. But we will be talking about that later. Now, we are here to discuss a letter that I got yesterday...from Jesse. It reads:

Dear Blaise, Pansy, Draco, and Hermione,

I have been wanting to send this to you for such a long time. I guess I just didn't have the balls to do it. Well I guess I better tell you what happened. Well somehow my mom convinced me to move to America. She said that Kaylee would have wanted that. Then I realized on my seventeenth birthday, that my mother is full of bullshit. Since then I have been looking for Kaylee. She isn't dead. I know that at this point Draco is as pissed as hell with that girl. But, you don't know the story. Kaylee and I are descendants of Captain Jack Sparrow, the pirate. Kaylee is the first female in the Sparrow bloodline. There is a curse saying that her blood with the right incantation, could unleash all kinds of hell dimensions. It would destroy the world. Voldemort is now after her. She has to take on new identities every few months, until Voldemort finds her again. She keeps barely getting away. I have been keeping in touch with my dad to get a lot of this information. He can't tell me exactly where she is because the letters could get intercepted. I am now searching for Kaylee. I don't care how long it takes, I will get it done. There is a second letter in a different envelope for Hermione. It is important that she reads it. I miss you all. But remember, Kaylee and I are both metamorphmaguses so we might be closer than you think.

Jesse

Well it only took the man nearly three years." Blaise finished.

"What the hell are you waiting for? Give Hermione her letter!" Pansy scolded Blaise. Blaise handed Hermione her letter. Hermione's hand was shaking as she opened the letter. Her heart was pounding. She couldn't imagine what was in it. An apology? He could have given that to her in the group's letter. Is it something to do with Chris? Does he know that she is here? What is it? Hermione, opened the envelope with her name. She took out the paper. It read:

Dear Hermione,

I miss you. I really wish that we could have at least said goodbye. Don't show anyone else this letter. Don't tell them what it says either. You know where Kaylee is. I know you do. Or at least you suspect someone to be Kaylee undercover. I know she is around the area of Hogwarts. She may even be going to Hogwarts. I did the location spell for all the members of the Hidden Identity Club. It showed Hogsmeade. Draco, Blaise, and Pansy were there. You showed up with Kaylee. Remember, she is a metamorphmagus. Just look to see if there are similarities between someone you know and Kaylee. She can't change her eyes though. So look for someone with purple eyes. I miss you so much, Hermione. Look, I know that you hate me. And you totally have good reasons. And I know that I'm a total jackass and you deserve someone a lot better than me. But I still need to tell you something. I should have said this years ago. I guess I never had the balls to say it. I love you, Hermione. You can tell them that.

Love,

Jesse

Hermione sat down on the couch. He said he loved her. She couldn't believe it. She fought tears. She was in shock. "Hermione, are you okay? What did Jesse say?" Blaise asked.

"He said...he said...he's in...he's in love...with me." Hermione answered.

"Is that a bad thing?" Draco asked.

"I..I don't know. I mean I haven't seen him for nearly three years. Then he writes me a letter saying he loves me." Hermione said, "How fucked up is that?"

"I think it's sweet." Pansy said.

"Yeah, you would." Hermione said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know damn well what it means Parkinson."

"Please, do tell me. I can't seem to remember."

"You aren't the least bit mad that this is the first time Jess has made contact in three freaking years! You don't even care that Draco has been sulking about Kaylee for three years now! Blaise kept thinking that Jess and Kay are alive, even though everyone else didn't, because he thinks that it will bring back Isabel. I've been pissed as hell with Jesse since he left. And you? What about you? What the bloody hell do you think about this? You think it's sweet. You think 'oh well the boy that I was sleeping with left. I'll just get a new one.'" Hermione said angrily.

"Hermione, you know that it only happened once. We were drunk! You and Jesse had a fight! You know that we didn't mean for anything to happen! You damn well know that!" Pansy said, remembering what had happened when they were fifteen. That wasn't the first time that she'd slept with a guy, but she didn't mean for it to happen.

–Flashback–

Pansy remembered getting piss drunk. Then Jesse had been piss drunk to because he had gotten into a fight with Hermione about something or other. Pansy opened her eyes. Where was she? She looked around the room. This is Jesse's room! Then Pansy realized that she didn't have any clothing on. She saw Jesse was starting to get up. They heard the door open.

"I don't know why I even believed you, Jesse." It was Hermione. She had come to apologize for getting mad at Jesse. Instead she finds him in bed with Pansy.

Jesse threw on his boxers and ran out after Hermione. "Hermione wait! I didn't mean to!"

She stopped at the bottom of the marble staircase. "Oh you just accidentally ended up naked in bed with Pansy? I'm sorry I should have known that." she said sarcastically while fighting back tears, "I don't know why I even thought for a second that you weren't going to cheat again. I came over here because I thought that I should apologize. I am such an idiot."

"Okay, I just got woken up before 12 in the afternoon on a Saturday in the middle of summer. Is it that you want me to kill you?" Kaylee came out in black sweat shorts and a black tank top that said 'Chicks can sk8 better.' with red hair that she streaked with black pulled into a messy ponytail.

"Sorry Kaylee, I was just leaving your asshole brother." Hermione said.

"Again? Bloody hell you two made a new record for yourself, six break ups in one week. You think that you could find other ways to spend your time." Kaylee said.

"I'll see you later Kaylee." Hermione said, walking out and slamming the door behind her.

Jesse smacked a vase off the table. "Dammit!"

"God, Jesse. You act like your not going to get back together tomorrow." Kaylee said.

"I really screwed up this time Kaylee." Jesse told her.

"It's not like you slept with Pansy or something." she reasoned.

"Yeah actually it is like that."

"What?"

"I got piss drunk and slept with Pansy. There now you know."

–End Flashback–

Later on everything was explained and Hermione forgave them but, she still always had a small grudge against Pansy for it. "Okay we all know what happened. Let's change the subject to something like Kaylee. How do we find her?" Blaise said.

'I don't knows' came from everyone. Hermione felt kinda guilty that she couldn't tell them the truth, but Kaylee was her best friend. And she kept her best friend's secrets.
