Disclaimer: Must I say it? I DO NOT OWN IT
The knot on her head was pounding and all she could thing about was the man standing in front of her. Maybe if she fixed it she could deal with the situation better. Hermione turned the wand on herself and muttered a healing charm.
"Can you at least tell me who you are and why I should trust you?" she asked the handsome man.
"I am William Turner Captain of the Flying Dutchmen." He said looking at her.
That was not what she was expecting. He WAS a pirate. It wasn't hard for her to believe him because…she was a witch.
"Is the Flying Dutchmen like the…Grim Reaper of the ocean?" Hermione asked biting her lip and looking away.
"I guess you could say that. As for why you should trust me. You shouldn't I'm a pirate and I bring sailors to their death or I did." William said looking away as well.
"Can you not be a pirate and a good man?" Hermione questioned.
"I used to thought you could. Now, though I don't know. I was a good man at one time. I don't know what I am now." William said.
Hermione tried to catch his eye and asked a simple question.
"William would you kill me?"
That caught his attention. His eyes got big and looked slightly like a fish out of water. Opening and closing his mouth.
"No…no. You saved me." William finally said.
"Then you are a good man…maybe you just have a complex." Hermione said smiling.
"What?" William asked smiling.
Hermione just blushed and stood up. "I think we can head to the castle now. We need to see if we can get you back." She said looking up at him. He was a good 6ft. and Hermione was only about 5ft5.
"Yes. That would be nice." William said.
Hermione grabbed his hand and looked carefully out of the cave. "It's clear…lets go." She said. Hermione pulled William along the forest dodging the dangerous creatures and the vast forest. It was daytime so it wasn't so bad.
As they reached the clearing William stopped pulling Hermione along. He looked amazed.
"What is this place?" William asked.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now let's see what McGonagall wants to do with you."
Authors notes….not a lot of drama this chapter….really more of a builder. WAY more action to come.
