Now this was a HP/PotC crossover worth reading! I shall definitely see what else you’ve done.

Smooth sailing. Not sure what was said and/or done to the drizzlies, but it held them at bay long enough for Harry to be rescued.

I'm confused as to why they'd side-along Harry intercontinentally, but then take an 8-hour train ride from England to Scotland? The train only runs on certain days as well... it's just a strange plot hole.

Poor bean.

I'm gonna rant here, so just skip this if you genuinely don't care about child abuse.
I know you intend to 'rescue' Harry, but you have to know that returning him to his abusers shows exactly how little any of them care for the boy.
I'm especially shocked that snape handed Harry to the abuser. As an abuse victim himself, I cannot conceive of such a thing in any possible world. Eviscerating the scum with Sectumsectra? Yes. Handing his victim back to the abuser? Nope, no f'ing chance.
All of those who know that vernon beat a two and three-year-old child so badly that they couldn't even heal him WITH MAGIC are accessories to the crime when they send back to that death trap.
If the drizzlies were willing to literally scar the boy beyond magical repair in just over two years, how could any of them believe that such malice would suddenly vanish? The hearts and souls of petunia and vernon are as black as any other child abusers on the planet. Those kinds do not suddenly 'change stripes'.
So what if some fancy wards will let them know when a three-hundred-pound ball of hatred snaps his tiny neck. They'll know right away, so that makes it all better?
Woopdiefuckingdoo.
Sorry for the vulgarity. I get that this story is done and you had a 'fix in place', but the action of returning an abused child to his abuser makes me want to rage and vomit and send you every kind of virus (bio, technical, magical, the works!) to get you to change it, even years later.
Nothing personal, it's just completely personal and wrong in every conceivable way.

So much fun that the islanders are basically in on the scheme.

Lots of fun here, Will definitely had a great teacher on drunken behavior... so, how will they convince Jack that Harry doesn't need that lesson?

Dumbledore may have the greater good in mind, but it is His Greater Good, not anything to do with anyone else. He considers the drizzlies as the only option because that was where he had total control. He considered a mind rapist as a suitable teacher for children because he is not a child in danger, and Harry was unlikely to be one of his victims. Dumbledore is about Dumbledore's Good, thus I refer to him as dark lord dumbles - other people are of no consequence, up to and including their very lives, so long as things go his way.

Calypso's story was eye-wateringly hard to read, but she got the jist of it.

I... huh. Yeah, Calypso's plan makes sense. It's a wiggly road to get from there to here to there again, but it works!

Ugh, Dudley raised by ripper's bitch? That's an ugly future :(

Calypso's magic was pretty impressive, nice details!

Dang, you can Write! The introspection of the captains was brilliant.

Really bad eggs indeed :D
Nice job on 'gaming the system' with the social worker!

As to the drizzlies, the good news is that the girraffe will lose the most important things to her: her reputation and her son. With the Dudley you've written, she may not ever regain her son once she has served her time. Of course, that's assuming the ladies in lock-up let her leave in one piece once they discover she abused a child, and her own blood at that.
The walrus will lose his job and his freedom, and, God willing, violently losing his various virginities and then extremities before he finds himself Judged.

I'm vaguely dreading the pov from dark lord dumbles... did he obliviate people to cover for the drizzlies expecting to be able to go snatch Harry back (and, therefore, is on his way to Tortuga even now)?

"I think I deserved tha' one." Yep, you can write Jack just fine :D

I agree with your take that Harry was abused physically, not just verbally, emotionally, and spiritually. The abusers of this world have a horrific hell awaiting them, but writing about them going unpunished is deplorable. I'll never forgive JKR for allowing those scum to get away Scott-free with their crimes.
majere4 chapter 8 . 1/5/2024
I really like how Harry feels the magic of Will and Jack. I'm hoping you continue to develop that ability!

If I understand correctly, Harry is three, but they think two due to malnourishment?

Hmmm... I wonder how they'll go from 'finders' to 'keepers'?

I'd be happy to see the authorities connect the dots and imprison the drizzlies until they rot, but, that would also lead dark lord dumbles to Harry's trail so... best the whiskered wanker continue to stew in his ignorance. Altho, the crazy cat lady who never actually gave two shites about Harry might report she hasn't seen him... maybe even before the year is out! Yeah, I'm a bit salty about that whole shiteshow.

I'm twitching with the idea of Captain Jack Sparrow taking a child to a hospital.
Yeah, he didn't time travel, so he learned about the world as it 'aged around him'... but, it's still odd lol
majere4 chapter 6 . 1/5/2024
It's like they never grew up.
Wait... nm lol
majere4 chapter 5 . 1/5/2024
Nice job with Dudley, it made things much more intense!
majere4 chapter 4 . 1/5/2024
Well, what treasure could be better for a couple of immortally single seadogs than a toddler at the X? :D
