Disney Magic

Disney Magic: Chapter Five

Harry had the morning off the following day, and Niall spent the night at Liam’s, so he had no noise or reason to wake up until nine. It was the first time he’d slept in, remotely, since he’d started working as Dale, and he was thrown a bit off his morning routine.

By the time he stumbled into Magic Kingdom, it was eleven, and he had an hour or two to kill before pulling on the stuffy Dale outfit and performing at the campfire. He wasn’t quite sure where Niall was, so he had no one to wander the crowded park with.

He walked towards Space Mountain, intending to ride the ride, just to kill some time, but the seventy minute wait killed that idea immediately.

The park was crowded, more crowded than Harry remembered seeing as Dale, but then again, when he was Dale he didn’t have to face the crowds pushing and shoving to get to the places they wanted to go. When he was Dale he walked the cool, empty underground halls, completely oblivious to the chaos above him.

“Oi!” a loud voice rang out and Harry swiveled his head around, looking for the source. His eyes fell on Zayn and Niall, who were sitting on a park bench. Zayn had his hat pulled down low, covering his face, and Niall had a melted Mickey head Popsicle covering his face and hands, and Harry quickly walked over to the familiar faces in the sea of strangers.

“You just get here?” Niall asked, licking his fingers and Harry nodded, looking around at the crowds in a daze.

Zayn pulled out his phone and glanced at his phone, groaning, “I have to go get ready,” he muttered and he told up, popping his back.

“Do what?” Harry asked and Zayn sighed, running a hand through his hair.

“Cinderella’s wedding is in an hour, I’m a groomsman,” Zayn replied, ruffling Harry’s hair, “You two going to watch?”

“Oh yeah! I love seeing my boyfriend get married daily!” Niall said, laughing cheekily as he stood up and threw away his Popsicle stick. “But yeah mate, we’ll be there. Taking a lot of blackmail photos-“

“You suck’” Zayn interrupted, before turning on his heels and stalking off in the direction of backstage Disney. Niall laughed loudly.

“Have a Disney Day!” he yelled to Zayn’s retreating back before turning to Harry. “We have an hour, what do you want to do?”

Harry shrugged, looking around, slightly bewildered at all the activity around him, without the Dale head to hide behind.

“You want to go on the Peter Pan ride?” Niall asked and Harry stopped in his tracks, paling slightly.

‘Why would Niall suggest that’, he thought nervously, unless he knew something.

“I, uh, why?” Harry asked carefully, adjusting the hem of his shirt and Niall shrugged, looking perplexed.

“Because it’s a good ride. Plus, I know the guy who works the line, we can cut,” he stated simply, and Harry’s shoulders sagged in relief. He nodded and Niall grinned, weaving in and out of the crowd as he led the way to Fantasy Land.
