I yawned and turned to my right, I was met by a boop to the face.

"I could get used to waking up beside you." I scoffed as Harry wrapped his strong arms around me, I snuggled even closer to his body.

"We've gotta get ready, it's 7:30." I explained as Harry growled, he knew he couldn't tell time but I don't think that's why he was annoyed.

"Why can't we just lay here for a second? I want to lay with my captain for a bit." He looked at me with those crazy blue eyes and I caved,

"Only ten minutes." I replied as he smirked before cuddling me, I admit I didn't mind this one bit.

On an Isle where love doesn't exist, I find myself liking him.

But how was I supposed to know the difference, we weren't taught love as kids.

Once those ten minutes had passed, we both got up and prepared for the Royal guard's arrival.

But it wasn't a friendly one,

Before I could process anything, Harry and I were both yanked out of my home and into the cold air.

"Who do ye think ye are!" Harry yelled rather angrily as he fought against the guards.

I shivered longing for warmth, I had to start rubbing my hands along my arms in order to somewhat increase my own body heat.

"Why in the bloody hell would you grab us like that?" asked Harry as the guards scoffed, not seeming to care about what condition we were in.

How despicable.

"Queen's orders." I frowned, of course Mal would order us to be treated like the scum of the earth.

The guards dragged us in a line towards our vehicles, Harry stood beside me as he had taken his jacket off and threw it over me.

I silently thanked him for it as he nodded at me, whilst smirking.

We were quickly ushered into a limo, as the rest of the kids were put in buses.

This must've been Ben's doing, once seated I looked at Gil who looked like a kid in a candy shop. It was adorable and honestly he looked very happy for once.

Then again food in general made him happy,

"Uma look! It tastes like chocolate! Not trash like we're used to. And this looks like a crystal.. the possibilities are endless!" I laughed and rubbed Gil's shoulder,

"Go crazy, but I warn you. Cavities do exist." Gil smiled giddily at me ignoring my cavity comment as he browsed his candy desires.

Harry draped an arm over my shoulder as he popped some candy into his mouth as well.

Not wanting to be left out, I grabbed a giant multicolored lollipop.

Let me tell you, it was heaven!

I smiled and sank into my seat.

The drive from the Isle to Auradon was at least an hour and a half drive.

Not wanting to look at the scenery, I leaned into Harry's awaiting embrace and placed my legs on Gil's lap.

Gil didn't seem to mind considering he was too busy being trigger-happy over candy, Harry played with my braids and suddenly I found the ever so welcome darkness.

But before I fully fell asleep I snuggled deeper into Harry's jacket fully intoxicated by his scent.

"Love, it's time to get up." I heard a whisper in my ear, but me being me decided to lean into Harry even more refusing to wake up.
