chapter 2

‘The Most Notable yet Untold History of Pirates
and the Legend of Worlds End’


When Madame Pince had first arrived at his office at the beginning of the summer holidays with the unremarkable looking book in hand, Dumbledore had not given it much thought.
Even when she had told him that she had come across it while dusting a back corner of the restricted section or that it had been hidden in behind several other ancient books that had possibly not seen the light of day in centuries.

The only truly interesting thing about the book was the simple fact that there was absolutely no record of it being in the library - which should have been impossible since the records for the library dated back to Hogwats founding. She had left it with him saying that since there was no record of it being in the library it did not belong there.

He had smiled at her and told her that he would look into it.

He had taken the book home with him for some light summer reading after checking it for any dangerous spells; he really did not want a possible repeat of what happened with Ginny Weasley.

That had been almost two years ago and what he had found within its hand written pages had shocked him.

‘The Founding of the Brethren Court’

‘The Imprisonment of Calipso’

‘Davy Jones’

‘The Flying Dutchman’

The chapter titles rekindled childhood memories, tales of pirates that he had loved as a young boy and had thought to be only fiction. Within the thick hand written pages of the leather bound book was treasure, maybe not Spanish silver and Aztec gold, but treasure none the less.
History.
The story of men, most of them Muggles who had seen the world for what it truly was, not the pale imitation that their descendents now had. The first chapters had been researched by the author, the way that they had written it told him that much, although the author never mentioned their name.

The later chapters on the other hand had him enchanted.
The way the author told the different parts to the story, the detail and sheer feeling they had put into it told him that they must have been there to witness it all. Singapore and Sao Fang’s Map, the journey to Worlds End and finding Jack Sparrow in Davy Jones’ Locker.
The voyage back from the land of the dead. Dumbledore had stopped when he read that. A way back from the land of the dead… he had not thought such a thing possible. It shouldn’t be possible, but apparently the map told of a way.

It was the last and shortest chapter that almost made Dumbledore destroy the book.

‘The Immortals’

Their real names were unknown, their ages were unknown all anyone knew about them was that they looked young and been sailing under the skull and crossed bones since before the Spanish had first gone across to the America’s. They were known to take out enemy ships with the greatest of ease, though nobody really knew how because there were never any survivors.
They could command the wind and the sea and could disappear in an instant.

Some of the stories the author had written down were almost too strange to believe, but there were records in other books that told of seemlier things.

Kyuubi no Kitsune. Ichibi no Shukaku. Their ships the Hokage and the Kazekage.

These names were repeated again and again within the book and the author had stressed that they were the same people even though the gaps between sightings of them were some times vast. There were interviews with pirates from all over the world who mentioned the two immortals and their deeds.

Even after all that he had read Dumbledore was not sure if he should believe any of it.

Pirates who had been placed under an Aztec curse and found that they could not die but they could not really live either.
Pirates who had died and feared death so much that they would join a crew who appeared more like sea-life them humans.
Will Turner, a blacksmith from Port Royal who become the new captain of the Dutchman after he stabbed Davy Jones’ heart - the only down side Dumbledore could see about that one was the fact that he could only come on land once every ten years.
Jack Sparrow a man who drank from the fountain of youth but only after Kyuubi and Shukaku showed him where it was.

If these men were real there would have to be more information about them. From the book Dumbledore had the impression that none of them were overly discreet, except for Turner. So there would have to be more about them somewhere. It was just a matter of looking.
