Pirate Blood

Chapter 53

Pirate Blood

Spells were flying everywhere when a voice, powerful and threatening, yelled "STOP!"

The voice seemed to come from nowhere. Then a new figure appeared in the center of the room. Gasps came from all around. There were a few screams. Lord Voldemort was standing in the middle of the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

"Well then, isn't this a lovely party? Bring me the Sparrow girl." Chris was pulled by a telekinetic force to face Voldemort. "Well then, this is a new look. Usually you go for blonde."

"Turns out they don't have more fun."

"You're still keeping the American accent? Honestly Kaylee, morph. Show your classmates who you really are." Chris did as she was told for once. She morphed into Kaylee. "That's much better."

Gasps once again came from students and teachers. Muttering about her followed. "Ladies and Gentleman, welcome Kaylee Sparrow to the dance floor. The girl who will be the cause of your deaths."

"You're the one who will die tonight." Harry said from behind Kaylee.

"Potter? You really want to defend her? You don't know her. She's a monster. She kills people. People who didn't even try to kill her."

"No, they were just trying to get me to give blood so that they could have hell consume the earth. That isn't nearly as bad." Kaylee said bitterly.

"Potter, I'll deal with you later. You, Kaylee, I'll deal with now. You always seem to have someone helping you, or find clever ways to escape. I have a new idea. You sword fight for safety. If you win the fight, I'll let you walk out of here. If you lose, you come with me without fighting."

"It's come to betting? You're really becoming rather pathetic."

"Stop mouthing off, and agree to the wager."

"Alright, Accio sword!" Kaylee summoned her sword, as did Voldemort.

They started fighting. Swords clanking as they hit the other. Cuts were scattered on their bodies, but neither had any major injuries. While they fought, Death Eaters began attacking students again. Everyone in the room was fighting for their lives.

That wasn't to say that fighting Voldemort wasn't a challenge though. He'd had at least twenty more years of training than she did. He knew intricate moves that she didn't. "I'm more skilled than you, Kaylee. I'm better. I have what you don't."

"You might have more training, but I have something you'll never have." she said as she swung her sword at him.

"And what's that?" Voldemort asked.

"Pirate Blood." Kaylee smirked and knock his sword out of his hand. "You might be good, but you're not that good, Voldemort."

"You dare say my name?!?" Suddenly Voldemort swung his sword into her arm. It should have left her armless. Yet it didn't. Instead the sword swung through her arm, not hurting her at all, as red dust substance appeared.

Voldemort was bewildered, as were his Death Eaters. "I'm a relatively hard girl to catch, Voldemort. Or do you prefer Tom?"

"You're astral projecting!" Voldemort said angrily.

"Yes, it's great isn't it?" Kaylee smirked.

"Find her body, Lucius!" Voldemort ordered.

Kaylee could see a healed Lucius, out of the corner of her eye, leave the Great Hall. Someone must've healed him.

"How dare you try to trick me." Voldemort said angrily.

"It was rather cool, you have to admit." said a man. His hair was below his chin. He had a goatee. He was in a t-shirt and jeans with a plaid shirt tied around his waist and converse sneakers on his feet. He wore layered necklaces, a few earrings, and eyeliner.

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort fired a burst of green light from his wand at the man. The spell had no effect on the man.

"Pretty light. Though I've always preferred rum as a welcoming gift." he sauntered over to Voldemort.

"What are you?" Voldemort asked, shocked.

"A human. I'm not even a wizard. Though it would be cool if I was. But if they all turn out to look like you, I don't think I'd like to be one. I like my nose the way it is, thanks."

"Who are you?" Voldemort asked, angrier.

"Captain Jack Sparrow. I'm sure you've heard of me." Jack waved his hand and bowed.

"You're...Surely, you can't be alive."

"Actually, I can. You see, it comes with being immortal." Jack smiled.

Harry quietly came up behind Voldemort and shoved a sword through his chest. Voldemort fell to his knees and looked up at Harry. "This won't kill me, stupid boy." he chuckled.

"Yes, it will. The last piece of your horrible black soul, is in this locket." Harry held up a gold locket with an emerald green snake engraved into the front of it. Voldemort looked shocked as he started to cough blood.. "Yeah, I've destroyed all of your horcruxes. Except this one. I've been looking for it for a year. There was a fake where you put the original. Funny enough, it's been right under my nose. I found it before I even knew what it was at Grimmauld Place. If I had to guess, you crossed Regulus Black, and this is his payback. Well, now that you've heard the story, I guess it's time to end it." Harry threw the locket into the fire place, about ten feet away from them.

"I don't understand why you always win. I'm better than you. I have more than you could ever hope to have."

"No, you don't. I have friends, family, love. I feel more than greed and power. I feel sorrow, for you. I'm sorry that you don't have any love in your life. I'm sorry that you'll never know what it's like to fall in love. I'm sorry that you'll never know friendship."

"This isn't the last you'll see of me Potter." And those were the Dark Lord Voldemort's final words.

"Yes it is." Harry said to his dead corpse.

"Alright, I helped kill the bad guy, and now the world isn't going to end. Where's the rum?" Jack asked.

Jack was ignored as the Ministry officials appeared, apparently McGonagall had sent someone to contact them. More than half of the Death Eaters were stunned, killed, or somehow trapped. Except Lucius.

He came back into the Great Hall dragging Kaylee's unconscious body. "Thanks, Lucius." she said. She disappeared and her body came back to life. "Auror," Kaylee called to one of the men arresting Death Eaters, "I have a man you may want to arrest."

Jack came up to Kaylee as Lucius was being arrested. "So you're the girl?"

"Yeah, I'm Kaylee Sparrow. Thanks for coming through, Jack. It really helped."

"Yeah, I figured it's been a while since I tried to save the world and what not. Well, it was lovely meeting you, Kaylee. Now I've got to get out of here before any of those men realize that I'm wanted for at least 84 different crimes in 43 countries." Jack shook her hand and ran out of the Great Hall.

Everyone was cheering and hugging. Harry hugged Hermione. "Thank you so much, Hermione."

"What are you thanking me for? You put the sword through his chest."

"For everything. For helping me whenever I need it, for finding the locket for me, just for always being my friend. For always sticking with me. You're a great friend, Hermione."

"Yeah, you're a pretty good friend too, Harry. Thank you." Hermione said.

"For what?"

"For saving the world." she smiled.

A/N: I'm not thrilled with it, and I might rewrite it one day, but for the most part I'm okay with it. What did you think? Did you like the appearance of Jack Sparrow? The story started with Jack, and I figured it should end with him. This was technically the last chapter. The epilogue will be up in a few moments. REVIEW! L8R, Nikki
