Harry was always full of emotions despite the mask he had spent years working on. The mask that usually rendered his face void of any emotion and made any onlooker think him a monster unable of human emotion.

Yet at the same time he hated the mask he had to put on, his father used to tell him when he was younger that the mask he wore made people fear him. And if they feared him they would never try to hurt him, so he believed him.

Because truly his father was the first person to ever treat him as a person, not a slave like the Dursleys did.

The man who he called father had built him back up and retaught him all the things the Dursleys neglected to do, and because of that, Harry was the way he was now, strong, ruthless and powerful.

His loyalty had never been in question for all the years he'd lived on the Dutchman because of the fact that he would never betray the man.

But he wondered if the deed he was about to committed classified as betrayal

"I wondered if I wou'd ever meet you, ya don't strike me as the type ta sneak behind Davys back. I wonder wot he wad do if he knew… Harry jones"

The voice came from the shadows of the lake house as a woman with thick black dreadlocks came into view, her black eye shadow smudged around her eyes yet fit perfectly with the womans dark skin. A tattered dress fit around her thin form, black and dry of any colour and dark from being used.

"I'm not sneaking behind his back I'm merely securing something that will save his life in the future" Harry replied as the women came closer.

"Do tell me what d'is somethin is, young wizard"

Harry was silent for a few moments before walking towards the women, "there a story on the Dutchman about a…woman. A woman who captured the heart of a young captain, this man was known to have been fearless and heroic, said to bring hope and laughter to everyone who meet him. You see the story says that the young man fell hopelessly in love with this woman despite the circumstances."

Silence filled the boardwalk and Harry continued,

"The woman was a sea-god and soon the man was so in love with her that he was willing to cut out his own heart. Cursed to sail the seas forever and guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife, the story also says that the man was never allowed to touch land again unless it was on the day of his tenth year in service. He spent that day with the lover who cursed him. Yet he still loved her for it." Harry muttered the end bit as he turned away from the dark-skinned woman,

"But everything changed on second visit to land, as soon as the man arrived on land ready to spend it with her, the woman never showed up. After waiting ten years serving under a curse that he put up with just to spend time with her, she never showed up".

"Why are you tellin me this" a small voice asked as Harry turned violently towards the women

"Despite the story being mere folklore, I'm not an idiot. Some of the crew on the Dutchman have been there from the beginning. My father would very well want that story to be heard and believed as a bedtime story to tell misbehaved children. But then again he's buried it for so long that not even I am privileged enough to hear the full story." He finished, glaring at the women all the while.

"How is tellin me things of the past suppost to save Davy" the woman said in a soft voice and Harry looked at her in surprise before talking,

"You see Tia there a man in this world who goes by the name of Beckett, Cutler Beckett to be more precise. I'm sure that you've heard of him" Harry said seeing the look of disgust on her face when he mentioned the name.

"The man has the ultimate plan of wiping out piracy, one person at a time. That display at Port Royal was organised by him and his gang of governors and spy's, I'm not a person to intimidate easily but the pompous little lord gets on my nerves. And since he has my Fathers heart in his possession, I can't kill him off without risking the safety of the heart."

Harry knew that if he outright attacked Beckett then that spy of his would quickly dispose of the heart. He doubted the man had the heart with him from the beginning and Harry was proven right when his spy confirmed it.

Even if he didn't admit it, he needed Tia Dalma. Beckett was a problem in the long run; despite the minor threat his posed now. If Norrington did trade in the heart to the Navy or Beckett for that matter, then they were all screwed.

"So I came to ask for your…assistance" Tia's head snapped up quickly, as she slandered over to him with hands on her hips.

"Well well, nevar thought I'd see you ask for my help Harry" she stopped immediately and crossed her arms "but you are right about Beckett needin to be stopped."

"Why do you need my help for?"

"I need a favour in the near future and you need to carry it out without hesitation" Tia was about to question him but Harry cut in "Oh, sorry I forgot to say you're not allowed to know what this favour is" Harry replied smirking.

Tia looked angry before Turing her head to gaze at the night sky

"And why would I do that" Tia wondered if she should have been concerned when Harry's grin turned deadly.

"Tell me" he said slowly "Have you ever heard of a man named Sao feng"

-x-

Will turner had always questioned Tia dalma's mental state ever since Jack had introduced the crew to her.

But bringing Barbosa back was an insane idea. Even as the man strolled down the twisted stairs, Will could tell that the man hadn't changed one bit.

If there was anything he had learned while sailing with Jack it was that pirates didn't do anything for free. And for Barbosa to happily lead them on a journey to bring Jack back was out of character for the brown-haired pirate.

Why would Barbosa, a man who had once abandoned Jack on a desert island twice, and tried to kill them more than he could count want to bring Jack back?,

"Why" Will spat "you've tried to kill Jack more times than any other man. So why would you go on a journey that could kill you just to bring back a man you wanted dead"

Barbosa looked at him for a moment before taking a bite out of his apple and replying "Well Jack may or may not have something that I want" Barbosa said while stroking the monkey on his shoulder.

"And you would bring him back just to get it" Will said

"Of course not. The only reason I would bring Jack sparrow back voluntary would be to send him back in a more painful way than he did originally" Barbosa started walking down the last few steps before stalking up to him.

"And from what I hear Jack died in the most painful way possible, courtesy of Jones" Barbosa laughed slightly "I applaud you. Leaving Jack on his precious ship to face the beast alone"

"We didn't –" Will argued before Barbosa cut him off with a wave of a hand,

"Don't worry about it because I can guarantee you that he would have done the same thing to you" he was about to continue but Elizabeth spoke "And how are we going to get Jack back exactly"

"Well-" he started "there's this map that was found on a deserted island a few hundred years back, the map, if you follow the directions right, is said to lead people to the land of the dead"

"So where is the Map now" Elizabeth asked,

"Well I'm not-"

"Sao feng, pirate lord of Singapore has it" A voice from the corner of the room answered and everyone's attention turned to see Tia Dalma walk out of the shadows with a satisfied grin on her face,

"How do you know that?" Barbosa said quickly as Tia turned to him with a dark smile on her face "I had a …source that recently revealed certain information to me. The information just happened to involve the whereabouts of the Mao Kun map."

Barbosa was about to question the woman more but a dark laugh stopped him as it echoed throughout the room.

The laugh was humorless and it sent a shiver down everyone's spine as the room went cold and the owner of the laugh started to walk out of the shadows,

"I can't believe you demoted me to a source Tia" a dark-haired man soon walked into the light of the room, revealing his identity to the crew, "after everything I told you."

Gasps were heard and Harry smirked when he saw Wills eyes widen in realization. "Will good to see you again, it was such a...shame to hear that you survived, along with the crew" he looked around the room frantically, looking for a certain Captain.

"Jack may be dead, but if this quest of yours works out then were all happy" Harry said happily before leaning against the wall while the crew all shared confused looks.

"Why would you of all people be happy about bringing Jack back? Your father and crew wanted him dead for more than a decade" Will asked, narrowing his eyes at the man-no boy he had seen countless times walking around the Dutchman, claiming to be that monster's son.

When Will first saw him he thought the boy was a sailor who had died at sea for some horrifying reason. But when Davy Jones himself proudly admitted that the boy was his own son, Will was shocked to the core.

Then there was Jack, their ex Captain who openly talked about Harry as if he were talking about some old friend. But of course Jack would have known Harry since there was few people in the world that Jack didn't know.

Harry sighed deeply before replying "my father and me always had different views on Jack. Despite the man's decreasing sanity I always thought Jack was funny and worth keeping around. My father held the opposite opinion"

"But you hated Jack-"

"I hate Beckett not Jack" Harry corrected while closing his eyes "god you people really don't see the bigger picture do you"

"Anyway in order to get the Navigational Charts you need Sao Feng" Harry said with a serious face for once before Turing to Tia "are you going with them"

"Of course" she replied with a grin of her own,

"Well then" Harry started moving toward the door way before twisting round to face the crew "I'll meet you there"

"Where's there" Elizabeth demanded, voicing the question that was on everyone's mind as Harry just gave her an 'I just told you' sort of look.

He scowled before reaching into his pocket and bringing out a map.

"This should, if you follow them correctly lead you to an abandoned boat house a mile from here. Once there you'll find a ship waiting for you" Harry said while walking up to Barbosa and giving him the map "Oh and by the way, Sao Feng is in Singapore. Better get there soon before the authorities get him, if you get my point"

Harry then proceeded to walk for the door without stopping before Will grabbed his shoulder, giving Harry a pointed look,

"Why are you doing this" Will asked while Harry looked over to where Tia was standing

"Didn't she tell you" nodding his head at the woman.

"Tell us what" Will had a confused look on his face while asking the teen, only making Harry surer that she didn't tell them.

'Well this will be fun' he thought,

Harry spread his arms wide, making it look like a welcome sort of pose that he saw a salesman do when he was younger. Harry then smirked darkly, making several of the crew take an involuntary step back.

"I'm your new benefactor"

AN- well another chapter up despite the wait it took. I am planning to post another chapter within this month so reader should get another chapter by late April or May.

thank you for all the reviews I got for the last chapter, it got me thinking on whats going to happen to Harry in the future. he is going to go back to his time period, eventually.

a few people asked me in their reviews of if Tia dalma was going to be a mother figure or a least teach Harry Magic. but I decided against that because if Harry did meet her, I'm sure that Davy would know and put a stop to it. because his hate for Tia is still very present in the movie.

Harry did learn how to use his Magic from someone and that will be revealed later in the story.

but anyway thanks for reading
