Harry Potter and the Pirates of the Caribbean

Well, since those two chapters are over, it's time that they got back out to sea. Jack's no good on shore. Things will begin happening quickly in this chapter. I don't want this fic lasting forever, so they will be getting to Haiti in the chapter.

Some characters will be making an appearance once they get close Haiti. Can you make a prediction before you read it? Haha, a shiny new penny to those who guess correctly.

I've made an official playlist of the songs I listen to when I write on this fic.. A bunch of Nickelback, MCR, Linkin Park, Evanescence, and David Bowie. There are some other songs, but they aren't worth mentioning, haha. I call it my.. "Harry Potter / Pirates List" ah, such originalityཀ

I didn't have both of my BETAs for this chapter, so there are probably some errors that haven't been caught.

Chapter Nine: Company

The Pearl was back on it's course as soon as the three arrived back. The men were happy to have their captain back and were happy for an excuse to relax and get drunk.

Because Harry's ankle was hurt, he was out of commission to help on deck. He was sent into the supply room to organize things into an easy system, as the pirates merely checked things off the list and set them in the room instead of stacking thing accordingly.

Sirius had taken over Harry job's on deck. However, whenever he finished he would go down and help his godson.

They came up with an easy system for stocking everything. Food was stacked closest to the door with liquids first then solids, and then rope, kerosene, and so on. Harry even had time to make a diagram of the under belly with his extra time he had before his ankle healed.

Time seemed to pass by slowly. Jack had insisted that they needed to appear as if they were heading in the opposite direction of Haiti before they swung and went to the island.

It took nearly two weeks before Jack felt safe enough to head for Haiti. They had to stop to restock once, a one night stop where they stole what they needed and left, because the Captain had decided that no stops would be made once they turned to head for Haiti.

Harry felt somewhat relieved as they headed for the island. He had regained use of his leg about this time they turned for Haiti, and he was happy to help on the deck.

However, the whole time, Jack stuck to the two wizards like glue. Harry wasn't sure if it was the fact that he considered them his bodyguards, or the fact that Adele would have to come through them to get to the Captain. He wasn't sure if he liked either idea.

"You're duty only lasts another week on my ship, however I'd like that you two continue to work until we get to Haiti, savvy? I don't need two dead weights on board," Jack brought up casually one night as they had their dinner.

Sirius hadn't really paid much mind to the man since they returned. He had promised Harry he would not cause any problems while they were traveling with the Captain. He was not too fond of the man still and spent no more time with him than he had too.

"Not a problem. I don't want to rot away doing nothing below the ship," Sirius said after a moment.

Harry nodded his head, "I don't mind working. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit around again."

Jack answered with a smirk as he stood to retire into the quarters. As he walked away, he turned back to the two wizards still at the table finishing their meals.

"Harry, if I may have a word with you once you're finished.." the pirate said, placing a hand in the air, as if he were holding onto some invisible post to help him keep his balance.

Harry nodded and stood, but he was stopped by Sirius.

"What do you want, Sparrow?" Sirius said, putting a hand in front of the brunette.

"Captain Sparrow, " He said, shaking a finger at him. "Nothing for you to worry about. I just need to speak with him in private," Jack said, stringing his words together like anyone who had been drinking would.

"No, you're drunk," Sirius said firmly.

Jack chuckled and narrowed his gaze to the man, "You seem to forget that I'm captain of this ship. My word is law for this ship. I am God of the Pearl, and if I would like a private word with one of my crewmen, which you are still in my service for at least another week, then I will have it. Come on, Harry."

Harry nervously to Sirius, who pursed his lips and removed his arm from Harry's path.

"Go on, Harry. Captain Sparrow would like a word with you. However, he can expect an attempted mutiny if he tries something," Sirius said darkly, glaring at the captain.

Jack chortled as Harry came to him. The captain smirked at Sirius as he placed an arm around Harry's shoulder and led him into the Captain's Quarters.

When they entered the room, Jack promptly removed his arm, "Always fun to rile that one up. Now, love, down to business," he said as he sat on one side of the table in the middle of the room.

Harry walked over and sat across from him. "What did you need, Captain?"

"Nothing. Just a little company."

Harry gave the man an odd look, "Company?"

"I've had a lot of things on my mind since we left Port Royal. One of the main things was Adele–" Jack started before he was interrupted by the green-eyed boy.

"Sir, I've noticed you're the only person who refers to him by his first name. Why is that?" Harry asked curiously.

"Adele and I have a history together. With a history, such as ours, why not use first names? I'm positive he doesn't refer me as Captain Sparrow or Mr. Sparrow. It's most certainly Jack with him," Jack said as he pulled a bottle of rum from seemingly nowhere. Harry wondered briefly where he kept this endless supply.

"What history? Why does he want you dead? All Sirius and I know is that he told you the location of a stone and you passed the information onto Davey Jones." Harry felt it was about time he knew why they were running from the man.

"It's a stone that Adele wants. I served on his crew several years ago, and after being there a while, I decided it was time to strike out on my own. I was his first mate. He hated to see me go, but he struck up a deal with me.. He'd tell me the location of a stone-The Sorcerer's Stone- and I could give the location name to Davey Jones in return for him pulling the Pearl from the depths of the ocean.. However, the price was that I had to give my soul to him in service. That eventually he would come to me and I would have to go with him and do what he required of me."

"What does he want with you?"

"I have not a clue. However, I agreed and handed the information to Davey. He was ecstatic and rose the Pearl for me. I gave him a map and thought I was well to do... But, just a precautionary, I had to offer him my soul if he could not use the stone or even find it. He'd want payment either way. I was sure he'd get the stone, nevertheless something went wrong and he couldn't use it. That's when he set out to claim my soul."

Harry nodded his head, "Well, why is Adele trying to kill you? I thought you said he wanted your help."

Jack sighed and took a long drink from his bottle, "Well, I had a mutineer many years ago. I lost the Pearl for several years. Just as I got it back, about a year ago, Adele arrived and said he was there to collect payment. I had lost the ship for so long, I didn't feel as if I should have to give it up, so I escaped from him with the ship. When he finally found, he told me he changed his mind. He wanted me dead instead of my services since I welched on our deal."

Harry sighed and shook his head, "It's not possible for you to make people happy, is it?"

Jack shrugged, "A pirate only has himself in his best interest."

"Anyway, what is this stone? Sorcerer's stone?"

"Some stone that's on an Island close to the Isla de la Muerta. It supposedly makes an elixir that provides immortality, turn metals to gold, and breaks any curse. I had thought about going to get it myself, however I had no way of getting there without a ship and I was sure Jones would get there before me."

"Why would Captain Blair give up the location to such a valuable stone? Why not go get it himself?"

Jack sighed, "My, you sure are talky.. I have no clue. Maybe he couldn't use it or didn't not care what the stone could do. I can't be sure. He told me nothing when he gave me the location. All the information I've gotten about the stone came from Davey Jones. I was surprised myself when he told me all of this."

"Well, if Davey Jones couldn't go get the stone, why did you never try to go get it afterwards for yourself?" Harry asked quietly.

Jack sighed, "I believe that Adele keeps his eye on the place. He probably expects me to go there and try to get the stone. I decided not to try to go after the stone unless Adele decided to give up on me. I'm not one to risk things when they're hopeless.. Beside, I also had suspicions that Jones had a watch on the place as well.. I don't know if Jones is a wizard, but he does have powers."

There was a silence. Harry ran through his minds for more questions to ask the pirate, but could think of none. Jack spent the time drinking from his bottle, watching Harry for more questions.

"Why didn't you have Sirius come in here? I think he would like to know these things too," Harry asked finally.

"I don't trust him. No offence to him of course, but I want to put my trust in you. You seem like a level-headed yong man that I can talk to, love. Will was the last person I–" the man trailed off.

"You still miss him?"

"Oh course I do," Jack snapped. "I trusted him more than I trusted anyone else and he betrayed me. It might be the pirate in him, if there is any, but he's watching out for himself. Now that eunuch is with that harlot. But he's run off before. Like I said, he'll be in Haiti. He can't stay away from me forever. It may appear that she can give him a stable life, but he won't be able to live with her father. That man has it in for him."

Harry didn't answer. He was unsure of what exactly he should say.

"At any rate, Harry.. I..It's weird, but I felt like I needed someone to talk to. It's not very often I can open up to someone, and with Will gone.." The pirate said no more after that, just finished the rest of his bottle.

"Don't forget that I've put my trust in you... I don't doubt you're going to tell Black about this, but I can guess you know what know what to mention and what not to mention."

Harry nodded his head and was excused after that, he went back to meet with his god father, who he found playing cards below the deck with a few of the crewmen.

When Sirius saw hi, he immediately stood up and pulled him on deck, in a corner where they wouldn't be heard speaking.

"What did he say?"

"We talked about Adele.."

Sirius nodded, "Anything worth hearing?"

Harry took the man into the supply room, and after checking to make sure they were alone, filled him in on everything about Adele that Jack had told him.

Sirius nodded his head slowly, taking in the information he had just recieved. "And why couldn't I be in there if you two were just speaking strategy?"

Harry blushed slightly, "He told me some other things that he asked me not to mention."

Sirius nodded his head, "That's acceptable." He frowned and looked to Harry, "I hope you don't think bad of me.. I've just been worrying a lot more about you lately, and Jack's proven himself untrustworthy when alone with you."

Harry nodded at the older man with a smile, "I understand. I'm glad someone is here to watch me. I'm sure my parents will be glad you did."

Harry suddenly felt an unexpected pang of sadness hit him. He no longer felt like being around anyone. He had the sudden urge to be alone. He looked down at the ground before he feigned a yawn.

"I'm pretty tired, Sirius. I think I'm going to head down below and catch a few winks."

Sirius smiled and patted the young man on the head, "I'll be down later. I'm going to get a cup of water then I'll be headed to bed myself."

Harry nodded and gave the man a quick, stiff hug. It was the first time he had attempted this, but it felt right at the moment.

Sirius wrapped a quick arm around him before Harry pulled away and headed down into the barracks. He pulled off his shirt and placed it with the rest of his things in a sack below him.

He and Sirius had fixed their shirts with a pocket inside their shirts. They decided it would be best to carry their wands around with them at all times, whether they could use them or not. They figured that since they carried them under their cloaks that they should keep them with in their new clothing.

Several more days passed by without much happening. He learned that Haiti was about five days away. This filled the young wizard with hope that soon he would remember who he was. He was one step close to being the Harry Potter he had been before he fell through the veil. Even if he couldn't make it back home, at least he would be back to the way he used to be.

Harry sighed, he spent the day working with the sails. The crew had learned of Harry's small sewing ability when he made the internal pockets on his and Sirius's shirts and had gotten a new job.

Harry was being forced to work on the sails at low winds when Jack had suggested that he use his small trade to make a few doubloons. A pirate always wanted something for himself when he did work. Why not get some money on the side?

Harry decided that he would do the mending of the crew's clothes for money until they reached Haiti.

Harry was not fond of the job at first. He was not very good at doing the work and almost changed his mind. He noticed the thread would easily come undone and he'd have to redo it three or four times just to get it to stay. However, after a few days of the work, he got the hang of it.

The pay he received wasn't bad. The pirates didn't pay him much, but he did get payed for every piece of clothing he did.

Harry spent his free time doing this. He sit in the barracks ans watch the sun over the horizon, looking for Haiti to just appear.

Late one afternoon, Jack walked over to Harry, who had found a nice niche to work in down in the supply room, "Harry..We made it.. We're about to port in Haiti."
