Harry's POV almost a year later {descendants 3}
Rolling out of bed, Harry Hook started his day by tripping over Gil, Gaston's son, who was asleep on the floor. He probably had another nightmare. Gil didn't so much as move, he was fast asleep.
Harry moved through his room, grabbing three knife on his dresser and walking back over to the wall by his bed, which had many little knicks in it. Harry added a new one, which was the 364th. He'd done that everyday since the last day he's seen...it didn't matter. She was in his past.
As he put on his shoes he head singing from outside. Looking outside, he saw posters for VK Day, with Jay and Carlos dancing with a ton of kids from The Isle.
"Gil! Gil!" Harry prodded, "wake up! We have important shit to do!"
"Wha?" A sleepy Gil groaned, turning over on the floor.
"Get up!"
☀️☀️☀️
Harry and Gil lurked around as the VKs sang and danced around, only seeing Jay and Carlos. Mal and Evie were probably somewhere else singing their own little song.
The singing and dancing eventually stopped, as all of the people of the Isle gathered around the entrance, listening to the Mal and Evie talk.
"Who wants to go?" Mal asked, "you?"
Everyone cheered.
Harry pulled Gil to a shadowed corner where they could see and hear everyone without being seen or heard themselves.
Mal and Evie stepped away from the balcony that overlooked all of the excited folk of The Isle, Jay and Carlos appearing on the steps below. The cheers began again.
Finally, Mal and Evie reappeared on the balcony with...no, it couldn't be, Harry's eyes must be playing tricks on him, there was no way it could be Amber, she wasn't a VK.
But it was Amber. As she joined Mal and Evie on the balcony, more cheers erupted from the crowd as everyone chanted her name.
"Amber! Amber! Amber! Amber!" They cheered, how did they even know who she was?
Harry's question was answered in a matter of seconds, Evie stepping forward and beginning to speak.
"I can't believe this day has finally arrived!"
More cheering.
"We honestly wish we could take you all with us," Evie continues, Mal and Amber nodding by her side, "and someday very soon, maybe we can."
"Yeah, we're gonna be back here so many times you're going to be so sick of us!"
"So sick," Amber laughed along with the crowd.
"Before we announce who the lucky people who are going to be joining us in Auradon," Mal spoke, the crowd immediately going silent, "we'd like to give a big thank you to Amber, daughter of Repunzel!"
As the crowd cheered, Harry found himself not being able to take his eyes away from the girl, who stood up on that balcony straight and tall, smiling down at everyone. It was weird seeing her up there, so happy and carefree, as if she had no worries in the world.
"Without you Amb, this wouldn't be possible," Mal spoke directly to Amber, still loud enough for everyone to hear. "You worked over time to make this happen, working out all the kinks and any issues, making sure we were prepared and The Isle thanks you for it."
Even more applause.
"Which is why," Evie smiles, "Amber is going to be able to pick the fifth person to come to Auradon!
"Now, enough talking," Amber cheered putting her arms around her two friends, "can I get a drum roll please!"
The whole Isle stomped their feet on the floor in excitement.
"First, I would like to begin with the granddaughter of Lady Tremaine, daughter of Drizella" Evie said, a smile creeping onto her face, "my sweet, sweet friend, my Dizzy!"
Dizzy squealed with happiness as the crowd cheered.
Carlos went next, selecting Squeaky. Then Jay with Squeaky's twin, Squirmy.
"And next, we all picked this girl because we all agreed that she could use a little bit of Fairy Godmother's goodness class, give it on up for Dr. Facilier's daughter, Celia!"
More cheers as Celia did a little spin of joy.
"Now," Amber smiled, "last but certainly not least, the baddest of the bad, Astrid, Daughter of Gothel!"
The cheers were so loud. Everyone erupting with happiness as Astrid looked around, astonished.
Harry froze, stunned at what Amber had just said, what she fucking insane? Picking the kid of the woman who had causes her own mother insane hardship and pain?
"Holy shit!" Astrid cheered, "I'm going to Auradon, bitches!"
Everyone laughed as Astrid danced around, making her way up to the VKs and Amber, who were all on the balcony now with the other kids.
Harry was in shock, not because of Astrid, but because he didn't expect to see Amber on The Isle, much less at all and he didn't know how it feel about it, or what the nervous feeling in his stomach meant. He was probably just hungry.
Harry was snapped back to reality as he heard the VKs and Amber cheer, "we're going to Auradon!"
All Harry knew was that he'd have to start over the count down of notches he had made in his bedroom with the knife.
