Chapter Three

When Will made it to the deck he was just in time to see the large fancy yacht go down and there was standing before him about fifteen young people.

“We’d be awfully grateful if you could drop us off at the nearest port” a chinless wonder addressed him.

“I am Captain Will Turner and this is The Flying Dutchman” his remark was answered by sniggers and giggles.

“I say old man don’t ignore me my daddy will pay handsomely if you just get us to dry land” the chinless wonder had a stubborn streak.

“You sir are dead, your friends are dead, all you have before you is the choice of the Dutchman” Will looked at the child like man with distaste.

“The joke is wearing thin I demand you take us ashore” the man blustered.

“You all have the choice of judgement or becoming a member of my crew” Will turned from the group and went to the wheel.

“I say you look like a sensible chap can’t you talk some sense into that idiot” the unhappy young man asked Harry.

“The Captain’s word is law” Zuk answered before Harry could.

“This is so jolly unsporting you’ll be hearing from my solicitor” he called after both Harry and Zuk.

Will and his lovers were in the middle of a fine meal and looking forward to a night full of loving. When Zuk rapped on the cabin door and dragged in a subdued looking chinless wonder. He gave the man a powerful push and he landed on the floor.

“He knocked Meadows out and tried to take the wheel” the sailor scowled.

Will left the table and stalked over to the man “What’s your name?”

“Gideon Parrack” he replied as if it should mean something to Will.

“You are a buffoon and fool Parrack and I will have your answer now” Will demanded.

“Your not Jones and I don’t believe that tosh anyway” Gideon retorted angrily.

“Choose” Will bellowed.

“Crew” Gideon yelled back.

“Take him to the brig and put him on half rations until he has a civil tongue in his head” Will ordered Zuk.

“Aye Captain” Zuk responded.

“You’ve not heard the last of this you megalomaniac, when my father finds out what you’ve done he’ll have you murdered” Gideon was almost hysterical.

“Get him out of here Zuk” Will ordered and returned to the table.

Lucius watched with interest as Zuk flung a skinny sharp faced youth into the cell next to his.

“Brute” Gideon yelled after Zuk as he left “what are you looking at?” He aimed at Lucius.

Snape sniggered “Not much I can tell you?”

“I say don’t be so bloody rude” Gideon’s attention fell on the other man.

“I am Lucius Malfoy and this is my colleague Snape” Lucius drew Gideon’s attention again.

“Gideon Parrack” he snapped “I would like to say it’s a pleasure to meet you but it isn’t. The Captain’s mad you know thinks he’s the Flying Dutchman.”

“We know that how do you think we ended up here” Snape said snidely.

“Your servant needs to be taught some manners” Gideon addressed Lucius.

Over Snape’s spluttering Lucius said “He is loyal so a little eccentricity is allowed.”

“So how do we get out of here?” Gideon tested the bars in front of him “my father will be looking for me.”

The sunrise was beautiful Hermione enjoyed the feel of the wheel under her fingers and looked towards the horizon. She had left both Will and Harry sleeping, a lingering hurt still troubled her spirit but she was coping. Zuk returned from checking the prisoners and reported that they were sleeping. Aimless souls wandered the decks lost in thought, peace stole over Hermione and she sighed.

“Sigh as you might Miss Grainger” a cool voice made her jump.

Lucius had a wand pointed at her “That boy the Captain is buggering didn’t search us or even accio wand” Lucius grabbed Hermione’s wand as it flew through the air.

Over the blonde’s shoulder she saw Snape stupefy Zuk and Gideon came into view.

“There not as good as our personal wands but they’ll do until we get them back” Lucius continued casually.

“What do you think you’ll gain by doing this?” Hermione asked.

“Not going to hell would be first on the list” Lucius grinned.

“We all make our own hells” Hermione glared at him.

Snape joined them wearing a smirk “Very slip shod Grainger not a challenge at all.”

“Why did you send Harry here and leave a trail for me anyway?” She demanded.

“I’m flattered but we didn’t send Potter here this is his reward” Snape grinned his face looking shark like “you were just a test subject someone disposable if it all went wrong” dark humour lit his eyes.

“Now Miss Grainger the question is do you know where dear Will hides his heart?” Lucius asked as if it were the sanest thing in the world.

“If I did I wouldn’t tell either of you” she replied hotly.

Snape spotted a small female child playing on the deck smoothly he pointed his wand at her and said “Alarte Ascendare.”

She rose from the deck at speed screaming hysterically as she was sent plummeting into the sea “Damn this wand is awkward” Snape moaned.

“You bastard” Hermione gritted out.

Gideon ran towards the three of them “What the hell is going on your man servant….” With a flick of Snape’s wand and a few murmured words Gideon followed the child into the sea screaming.

The lower deck was now crowded with people who were panicking the noise level rising “Heavy sleepers are they tired them out did you?” Lucius commented in seeming good humour.

“Don’t be disgusting” Hermione hissed.

“Surely not just healthy curiosity and you would know all about that wouldn’t you miss Grainger” Lucius retorted blithely “now I repeat where is the Captain’s heart?”

“I don’t know” Hermione bit out.

“Pity” Lucius nodded to Snape who sent another soul over the side and into the sea.

“You’re barbaric what have those people ever done to you?” Hermione demanded.

“They’ll still reach there destination just by a slower and more tortuous route, now where is that heart?” Lucius in turn demanded.

“Right here” Will’s tone was hard and angry; in his hand was his red bloody raw heart, beating in a steady rhythm.

“Give it to me” Lucius demanded.

“And if I don’t?” Will did some demanding of his own.

“Hermione will join the others in the watery depths and so will happy Harry when we find him” Lucius promised.

“Will don’t it’ll happen anyway” Hermione begged.

“Crucio” Lucius said with deliberate cruelty “damn this wand it just isn’t good enough” he complained as Hermione collapsed screaming to the deck.

Will approached Lucius until they were standing face to face, wearing a smile worthy of death he held his heart out “Take it if you dare” he taunted.

Eyes alight with madness Lucius reached out with an unsteady hand and grabbed the slippery moist organ.

“No” wailed Hermione all hope lost.

All hell broke out as Lucius collapsed enveloped by a green light. Will cried out as his heart hit the deck and pain ripped through his chest.

Hermione grabbed her wand from the deck where it had landed and stunned Snape as he took aim with his wand at Will’s heart where it lay. The pain in Will’s chest had him falling to his knees gasping and shaking.

Harry ran up the stairs to the upper deck his wand still drawn and yelled “What the hell did you think you were doing, do you want to go to judgement are you half in love with death?”

He grabbed the heart up and unthinkingly squeezed it, Will cried out in pure agony “What about us what about me? I won’t let you go you’re mine….”

“Harry” Hermione approached him and held out her hand “give it to me Will needs you.”

Harry tore his eyes from Will and looked at Hermione who managed a smile and took the pulsing heart from his grasp “Go to him” she nodded to Will.

Harry knelt over Will who murmured “Get me to my feet” Harry scrambled to obey.

Slowly and painfully Will walked to the rail and leant on it. He looked down at all the frightened people on the lower deck.

“Everything is back under control if you would all return to your cabins until further notice” he watched as slowly the lower deck cleared then turned to Hermione “take my heart and lock it in our cabin” Will glanced at Harry “bring that up here” he nodded towards Snape.”

Both followed Will’s orders briskly and on Hermione return he instructed “Strip and bind the mutineers.”

Which was done in quick time “Can they be brought round” Will asked then added “Zuk as well.”

Hermione muttered a few words and seconds later the three were wide awake and unhappy though for different reasons. Zuk jumped to his feet and kicked Lucius violently in the guts, everyone ignored the screams of the blond wizard and they died away.

“Captain” he turned to Will waiting for orders.

Will smiled “There is only one punishment for mutiny on this or any other ship.”

“We have rights” blustered Snape.

“To have human rights you have to be human” Will told him bluntly.

“Never the less you are a moral and just man” Lucius winced.

“You will get justice, the justice of the Dutchman have you any last requests a final quote maybe” Will’s humour was like bitter dark chocolate.

“What will your lovers think” Lucius looked at Hermione and Harry “ah she knows but Harry how quaintly puzzled he looks.”

“They might not like it but hopefully they will understand” Will didn’t care for the turn of topic at all.

“So you’re just another murderer Jones would be proud of you” Lucius declared.

“Enough you must take the consequences of your actions” Will knelt between Lucius and Snape “when I have finished only memories of you will remain and even they will fade in time.”

Will put a hand on Snape’s rigid shoulder while leaning towards Lucius, forcing the man’s face towards him by gripping his long blond hair. There lips clashed messily and daylight turned to pitch blackness. The silence was chilling and not in the least natural, then screams cut through the tention before daylight returned again.

Will was on his knees head thrown back, eyes tightly closed and mouth slightly open. Lucius and Snape were nowhere to be seen.

“Check the passengers are still in there cabins and bring the cat back with you” Will ordered tiredly.

“Captain” Zuk obeyed quickly.

“What the hell just happened” Harry demanded hotly.

“Ask Hermione” Will told him as he unbuttoned his shirt and headed for the lower deck, both Hermione and Harry followed in his wake.

“Herm?” Asked Harry.

“Later he’s up to something” she half whispered.

“You don’t say” Harry retorted.

Will dropped his shirt to the deck and stood beside the main mast waiting for Zuk’s return.

“Will” Harry tried to get his lovers attention.

Zuk reappeared carrying rope and a whip, Will turned towards the mast and rised his arms. Startled Hermione and Harry watched Zuk tie him tightly to it.

Zuk backed away from him and flicked the whip a couple of times. Then pulled his hand back and went for it, the whip caught Will across the shoulder blades with a sicking crack.

Harry came out of his near trance and yelled “Stupefy!” Zuk fell like a bag of coal to the deck.

In mere seconds Harry was grabbing Will’s shoulders and yelling “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

Will gritted his words out “Either bring Zuk around or finish the job yourself.”

“Why?” Harry demanded “give me a reason I can understand.”

“Absolution” Will replied steadly “abso-bloody-lution.”

Harry grabbed up the whip and brought it down on Will’s back making him cry out “Is this what you want” the whip came down again “is this enough for you” yet again the whip bit into flesh “does it help?”

Suddenly Hermione gripped Harry by the shoulders and pulled him away, the whip felll from his hand and clattered to the deck as he gazed in horror at Will’s torn and bloody back.

“Get out of the way” she gave him a push “go and see what we’ve got in the medical chest” when Harry didn’t respond she added “move!” Harry stumbled away from both Hermoine and Will heading towards the cabins.

“I’m not even going to ask what’s going on in your head” Hermione’s tone was exasperated.

“Good can you untie me” Will requested quietly.

Her quick nimble fingers released the knots and Will sank to his knees groaning softly. Blood trickled down his back and dripped on to the deck.

“They no longer exsist there will be no judgement for them I am become death” Will stiffly got to his feet.

“You are such a drama queen William Turner” Hermione declared archly “they finally got what they deserved and not before time.”

Harry arrived back by there side “Come down to the cabin Will I’ll bath and treat your back.”


**********************************************


Will stood in the moonlight and looked out over the vast expanse of water. Zuk was at the wheel so he was free to think and centre himself. It was now a month since the incident and his back was healed. Much to his surprise after the initial shock both Harry and Hermione had settled into acceptance agreeing that Lucius and Snape had got the only sentence suitable for there crime.

Now all three of them were back on an even keel, life, death or whatever went on and so would they. Will was happy with his lot and he knew his lovers felt the same way. It was enough and enough is as good as a feast.

The End
