Cold Hearted

New Things

Elena POV

Wow.... tonight was a night. I wasn't afraid that tonight would be boring, but it exceeded my expectations in that department. The one thing that I am absolutely bubbling about is... well I got Harry back!

He's a little beat up at the moment, slightly scrawny compared to the muscle on him but we can work with that! I'm just so excited and glad that he's safe and with me, finally. I feel much better about everything, I finally feel like I didn't abandon him and I ended up bringing him to Auradon somehow, even if it was from him sneaking out of the barrier with Uma when no one was looking.

The ship finally docked and we were allowed to get off, I said my goodbyes to the VKs including Jay who I shared a few dances with tonight. It was nice to have a partner to dance with, but he's not the most graceful. He's really good at doing breakdance moves which is cool... but I'd prefer someone who knows how to simply sway with me a little bit, spin around and have a good time! Anyway, ever since I was done dancing with Jay I've been by Harry's side as he's slowly calming down enough to function a little more. We walked off the ship down to the dock together side by side, he'd occasionally bump into me a little since I think he's still a little unsteady but that's okay.

I smiled up at the starry sky and looked over to Harry who was curiously looking around too, his eyes darted all over the place as Ben speed-walked up to us which spooked Harry a little bit. He jumped into me a little as Ben darted right past him to get in front of us, feeling a little bad that he got spooked by Ben I reached down and just gently grabbed his hand for support,

"Harry! I'm assuming you don't have any clothes besides the stolen guard uniform with you, if so I could get a set of basics set of clothes to hold you over until you can go shopping?"

Harry looked down at my hand and tilted his head a little and slowly bent his fingers to hold my hand back, I swear I saw a smile threatening to creep up onto his lips. He looked over to Ben and got his bearings back a little,

"Well I have this and my actual clothes but Uma had me hide them on the coast so yeh.... I kinda don't have anything"

Ben clapped once, I noticed Harry's shoulders tense up a little at the clap before relaxing again which I thought was a little odd. I felt bad though, he truly doesn't have anything with him... that must be hard. Moving to a new place with nothing to move with and all,

"Alright... well I'll have something whipped up for you, we'll have it shipped to Elena's dorm as soon as possible for you!"

With that Ben simply sped away, we walked off the docks and the crowd began dispersing a little bit which gave us some space. Harry was just looking everywhere, he seemed absolutely perplexed that he was actually here which I thought was sad but sweet at the same time,

"We can backtrack to wherever you hid the rest of your stuff tomorrow if you'd like?"

I casually asked as we walked, he looked down at me for a moment before looking up at the beast statue in great interest,

"Yeh..... sorry I just couldn't really take a moment ta look at the place when I got 'ere, it's just so..... different"

Harry said in a slightly slurry voice, he's probably tired from all of this. I wouldn't blame him though, he went through a lot back there. Well, it's good that he's here so he can get a full night of rest as soon as we get to the room and he gets his change of clothes. I let him look around and just let him take his time with that for now, all while leading him up to the room to get as settled as he could get.

I whipped out the key to the room and unlocked the door with one hand as Harry's refused to let go of my other one. He looked up and down the halls a few times as I toggled with the door and had to result to kicking it open due to my other hand being taken. I lead him in and had to somewhat force my hand away from his, but when I did he looked down and basically tried to grab my hand again before making a sort of grabby motion with his hand at mine. I giggled a little and made my way to my vanity to take this beautiful crown off before I break it somehow,
