AN: Kind of a PotC/HP crossover for word prompt - Kraken.
Harry woke from his dream with a sharp gasp. It had been so real. He had felt the boat rock beneath him, the smell of sea air and gunpowder. He had heard the shouts and screams of the people around him as they left the boat.
He remembered how the woman had kissed him but realized a second too late that it had been a trick and he was trapped, cuffed to the boat. He didn't know why but he'd been frightened before determination had overtaken him. Harry remembered how he'd smashed the lamp and gotten the cuff loose.
He remembered the terrifying sight of something that reminded him of the Giant Squid in the lake but so much larger and more vicious looking with the rows upon rows of sharp fang like teeth that filled its mouth, before it had swallowed him whole. That was the point he'd woken up.
Harry grabbed his invisibility cloak out of his trunk, swinging it around himself before he made his way through the dark and silent halls toward the library.
Harry spent what felt like hours searching through the books for any clue as to what his dream had meant. If it had been any other dream he would have dismissed them but the feeling and quality had been much too life-like to push out of his mind.
When he found his answer he understood why - the creature had been a Kraken. He found his other answer in one of the old books. It was worn from time and handling, though given the amount of dust on it and the shelf it sat upon it hadn't been read in all the time it had sat there. It was the journal of a pirate and he described the exact image of Harry's dream.
Could it have merely been a vision or, as the books Harry had looked at explained, was he really the reincarnation of this pirate - Captain Jack Sparrow?
