Imma Kiwi Bird: I was inspired to make another crossover. xD No surprise, ne? This is a Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter crossover, of course. Well... enjoy, I guess. xD

Oh; and as a note, this takes place at the end of their third year. 'Cept, this time, Ron was able to assist them in their time escapade to save Sirius and Buckbeak. But... it goes wrong. O doom

ONE MORE NOTE. xD This prologue is extremely short. So... beware.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter; JK Rowling does. Also, I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney does. I wish I could own both, though. ;o;
