Chapter 3: A New Brig

She only exited the ship when everything had been unloaded. She strolled along the quay and as soon as she came around the corner, she spotted him. He was on land, painting the outside of his boat.

He looked up when she came closer and smiled broadly. “You’re back.” He returned the brush to the pot of paint. “I didn’t see your ship come in.” He wiped his hands on a clean cloth.

“New ship.” She pointed out the tall masts, higher than any other ship in the port. “Over there, a lovely new brig.”

His jaw dropped. “You’re kidding? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ship that big!”

Chapter 9: The Snake's Nest

“Isn’t that the thing?” He tilted his head. “Hm?”

“Let me rephrase.” She didn’t know whether to laugh or not, but he looked so very confused. “Do you think you can only get pregnant when you’re married?”

“Wha—? Yes!” he let out, now looking annoyed. “What are you on about?”

She burst out laughing from the sheer ridiculousness of the conversation. She had never considered that no one would have bothered to tell him how things worked—but it made sense in hindsight. “Oh, Harry. No!”

Chapter 1: The Fisherman

That first crate usually had a special piece, picked out by him for her, the captain. She inspected it. It was only their usual order, nothing special awaiting. She nodded. “Load it.”

Seamus walked past her, a few more crew members following with the rest of it. Peeved, she shouted at the crew to continue working on the sail. Then she walked off the ship and down the quay.

His boat was always in the same spot. She walked over the gangplank and found him seated on the deck of his boat, mending a fishing net. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his strong hands twisted the rope to weave it into the net.

The sound of her footsteps made him look up, his green eyes greeting her, bright against the blue sea behind him.

“Did I do something to anger you?” she asked before he could say anything.

Chapter 2: Thief of my Heart

She watched them for a moment longer until Harry’s hand wrapped around her elbow.

“You’re bleeding,” he said, eyeing her forearm.

She looked down at the cut. It was superficial but some blood had dripped down to her hand. “I’ve had worse.”

“I don’t doubt it,” he said breathlessly. “Let me clean it and wrap it.”

Chapter 10: Your Pirate

Everyone was moving through sand and mud, tired and bloodied from the battle. Sailors pulled their wounded back onto the ship. The tavern had moved the tables and became a makeshift infirmary. The sun was making an appearance at the horizon, soothing chilled skin and providing light for the recovery of the dead and the wounded.

The dead were moved onto the empty field to the west of the tavern. Neatly moved into rows shoulder to shoulder with the comrades they had fought with. Ginny walked through the rows alone, looking for familiar faces. She had ordered the rest of her men, including Harry, to help retrieve the wounded from the battlefield and bring them to the tavern.

Chapter 7: Captain

He looked up at her in the middle of tying a thick rope of the rigging at the bottom of the mast. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows to free up his—healed—hands and a soft sheen of sweat covered exposed skin. He returned his gaze to the knot and pulled on it, making sure it was secure. Then he looked up towards Dean, who confirmed it was good by offering Harry a thumbs up.

Chapter 6: Piracy

She thanked her crew before they walked off for sailing back out without complaint and working together to save Harry. She did not take that for granted.

“Do you want to get a room at the inn for a few nights?” Ginny asked. “You’re welcome to stay on the ship of course but I understand if you want land under your feet for now.”

He rested his elbows on the railing as he looked at the town. “I have a feeling you wouldn’t join me at the inn.”

“You know I can’t sleep there,” Ginny told him. “But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go.”

Chapter 8: Catchpole Island

The port in Catchpole consisted of long wooden piers that were easily constructed wherever the water was deep enough. As the crew began unloading the goods they had brought, Ginny went to greet Fred and George who had arrived ahead of her. Bill would be with them soon.

They greeted each other heartily with hugs. While Fred and George each captained their own ships, they preferred to sail together and attack people from both sides and give them no way out. Years of working together like that and growing up together so closely had made that they worked together incredibly well.

“Where’s your lad?” Fred asked.

She pointed behind her. “Working, like the good lad he is.” She smiled at him. “You’ll meet him soon enough.”

“Must be a good one to convince you to commit,” George said with a grin. “Then again he fed you. That’s a way to a Weasley heart.”

Ginny chuckled. “Don’t tell him that—he’s going to think that’s true.”
