Once again, I am sitting alone in the garden of Auradon Prep. I am the daughter of the Mad Hatter, my father doesn't live here with me but he always sends me tea and hats. He is the best father in the world but it doesn't change that I don't have any friends here. The other students think that I am weird and too odd to be around. In this world when you turn ten you can talk to your soulmate.
On my tenth birthday I heard a now familiar Scottish accent talk, asking what my name is. A few months later I found out that he is Harry Hook, son of Captain Hook. The first three years I was afraid that he would leave me just like everyone else, to my surprise he stayed by my side the whole time.
Now we both are seventeen and Harry is my best friend and only friend. Now I don't spend my free time all alone instead I talk to Harry, if he has time and doesn't work. "Lass!!" Harry shouts interrupting my thoughts. "Harry, how many times do I have to say, stop shouting?" I ask a bit amused. Sometimes I think he is more like an overexcited puppy than a pirate.
"Sorry, I try to remember that" Harry says. "What was the reason you were shouting?" I ask reminding the pirate about what he was going to say. "Yes that, by any chance do ye like crystals?" he asks. "Yes, I do" I say sitting under an old oak. "Good, I got you a purple one. And don't worry I didn't steal it" Harry says, from the day we first met he started collecting me different gifts. We made a deal that he doesn't steal any of the gifts or I am not accepting them.
"Thank you, Harry" I say smiling. "What are you smiling, freak" I hear a girl say, I think she is the daughter of Tiana's best friend. I can't remember her name at the moment. "None of your business" I say, trying to stand up for myself. "You probably are mad like your father. No wonder you don't have a soulmate" she continues. This happens to me nearly everyday and it hurts everytime. She and her friends laugh before they leave me alone.
"Y/N, are ye alright?" Harry asks. "Yes, just the normal happened, don't worry I am alright" I say, trying to lie that I am alright. "Darling, I know that ye are not. Don't listen to 'em, they know nothin'. I will always be 'ere for ye, no matter what. And I can hook 'em" Harry says and I wish that I could hug him right now. "I know, Harry. I will be there for you too. Maybe I am not alright but I can manage it. And no, you don't hook them" I say and hear his slightly deep chuckle from him.
"I need to go now. I will talk to ye later" Harry says, sounding sad that he can't continue talking. "My class starts soon too, see you later" I say. I stand up and walk into the class wishing that I would be anywhere else than here. At least the classes are more interesting since Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay joined us.
_________________________
So much happened during the last few years, Mal and the other VKs tried to steal the Fairy Godmother's wand, everything went okay and Ben and Mal got engaged, Mal escaped to the Isle, the others saved her, Uma tried to use a love spell on Ben but failed, Audry became bad and put everyone under a sleeping spell, the VKs with Harry, Uma and Gil saved everyone and lastly everyone was sent back to the Isle.
And the whole time I didn't manage to see Harry. The VKs didn't take me with them to save Ben, obviously and I was under the sleeping curse the whole time, I was in my small cottage so I didn't have time to get there. Harry told me everything about both of the cases later, he complained about almost losing his hook for hours.
"Does this mean that we are never going to see each other?" I ask silent tears streaming down my face. "Please don't cry, love. I am sure that we will find a way. There are so many other soulmates trapped away from each other, they just can't do that" Harry tries to comfort me but I know that this affects him as much as it does me.
"I try but promise me that you will never leave me" I say, I must sound broken and a little bit lost. "I promise, I will be 'ere always and forever" he says his accent thicker than usual. "I will be there for you too" I say trying to comfort Harry too. "I wish that I could hug you now" Harry says and I can hear the longing in his voice. "I want to be in your arms too, Harry" I almost whisper, hugging my pillow closer to myself.
____________________________
It has been a while since everything returned back to normal. I am sitting in my armchair reading The Hobbit when I hear loud noises from outside. I step out and see a large crowd catheter near the bridge on both sides. "Harry, what's going on?" I ask my soulmate confused. "Lass, Mal is taking the barrier down!" Harry shouts, normally I would comment about it but now my whole focus is in the fact that the barrier is coming down. "Please tell me that this is true and not my dream" I beg. "It isn't a dream, darling" he says chuckling.
I walk closer to the crowd seeing Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay walking towards the people of Isle. I stay behind the people, I don't see what is happening but I can hear cheering and laughing. After the first fuss is over I try to carefully push through the crowd. I haven't seen Harry so it makes searching for him a bit difficult but he said that he has dark hair and often something red.
"Hey, watch where you are going, freak" Ariel's son says looking at me disgusted at me. "I am sorry, I just wanted to see something" I try to explain but he takes a hard grip on shoulder. "Please, let me go. You are hurting me" I say trying to break free from his grip. "Stop being an annoying-" he begins but he is interrupted.
"I wouldn't end that sentence if I were ye" I hear a familiar voice say and see a silver hook being placed on Ariel's son's arm. I turn my head towards the voice. There is a boy around my age standing in a sleeveless vest, muscular arms, dark hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Harry, is it you?" I ask inside my head, not believing that my soulmate is standing in front of me. "Yes, love. It is me" Harry replies, smiling at me. "Why wouldn't I?" Ariel's son asks, I almost forgot that he was here. "If ye do the I will 'ook ye nicely" Harry says bringing his hook closer to his neck. "Who are you to defend this freak? Not her soulmate?" Ariel's son asks. "Ay, I am 'er soulmate and I don't like ye talking 'er like that. If ye call 'er that again ye will suffer" Harry says glaring at him.
If I am being honest he is really intimidating. Ariel's son quickly backs away leaving us alone. "I finally found ye" Harry says, staring at me, I can see so much affection in his eyes. "Yes you did. I just hoped that we would have met in a better way" I say looking shyly at him. "It doesn't matter. I am just happy that I met ye. Ye are even more beautiful than I thought" Harry says.
I can't help but blush, it's the nicest thing that someone has said to me and that someone not being my father. "Thank you" I say shyly. "Come 'ere" he says, opening his arms. I don't hesitate to jump into his arms. His arms hold me around my waist tightly. I have never been fond of human touch but I choose to let it slide with my soulmate. And I know how touch served Harry is, he always talks about hugging or touching.
We don't break the hug until a voice speaks. "Harry, what are you doing? You just can't do that" Jay says, sounding disapproving. "Shut up. I can hug me soulmate" Harry says not letting me go. "Your soulmate? You never said anything about it" Carlos asks looking shocked. "Ye I 'ave 'er. That's why I wanted to get out" Harry says. He lets me go but one of his hands is still around my waist. "So you are the one who distracted Harry from his work" I assume Uma says amused looking at me.
I am wearing a black long skirt, wine red tight long sleeved shirt, a few pieces of jewelry and a big black hat with a red rippon. "Yeah, I believe that's me" I say smiling at the turquoise haired girl. "Try to make him focus on the school at least" Uma says, teasing Harry. "I can focus on school" Harry mumbles, pulling me closer to him. "Yes, yes you can. But I need to help you alot with math" I say giggling. I know that he can't count. "I don't need math because I am number one" Harry says pouting. "You are but you need to count normal things" I try to reason with the sulking pirate. "Fine" he grumples, not meeting my eyes. Uma and Gil laugh as they look at the scary pirate who is now acting like a puppy.
"Let's go, you need to see Fairy Gothmother so you get your rooms" Ben says leading the way towards her. I hope I will get someone as my roommate, I never had one. "Welcome, welcome everyone. It's so nice to see new children" The Fairy Gothmother says smiling at the new VKs. "Please everyone form a line and I will tell you your room number and who you share the room with" she says taking a list out. I stand next to Harry waiting to hear his room number.
"Uma, your number is 23 and you will be staying with Mal and Evie" The Fairy Gothmother says smiling at the three girls. I am happy that they come along now. "Gil, your number is 31, with Jay and Carlos" she says smiling when Gil and Jay hug. "Harry, you will be staying in room 17 with Y/N" she begins making me stare at her mouth open and feel Harry holding my hand tighter. "But you can't do anything that is forbidden in the rules, you know Y/N. Your room was the last" she finishes.
I know the rules and I am not planning to break any of them soon. I am actually happy that I will be living with Harry because he is the only one who is there for me and won't judge me. I turn my head towards Harry seeing him grinning like Cheshire Cat. "Come on" I say pulling him through the other students towards my room. When we arrive at the door of my room I quickly open the door so he can see his new room. My room is full of books and paintings and one shelf is full of teacups.
"This is so amazing" Harry whispers looking around the colorful room. "That is your bed and if you need more space just tell me and I will move my things" I explain quickly. "It's alright. I don't have many things" Harry says walking around the room looking at every detail. "What is up with yer desk?" Harry says looking at my desk. I painted it black and drew a raven on it.
"Why is a raven like a writing desk" I reply and then continue "It is an answer for that or at least my answer". Harry just chuckles. At that moment a knock is heard. I open a door and see a man carrying Harry's things. "Thank you" I say as he places them down. Harry just has a backpack and a small bag. That makes me a bit sad.
Harry starts unpacking, most of his things are clothes, his hook and a few books. He has shells, gems and some other small things with jewelry. Lastly he takes out a box. "This is yer gifts" Harry says handing me the box. I take the box from him and open it, inside it there are all the gifts that Harry collected for me. There is the gem, a black ribbon, a rock and many other things.
"Harry they are even more amazing than I thought" I say quickly putting the box down. When the box is safely on my desk I jump into his arms. First he stands stiff but soon his strong arms wrap around me returning the hug. "Yer welcome, love" he says. I can feel Harry take my hat off so he can lean his head into my hair. "Ye should know that I am so lucky to have ye" Harry whispers pulling me closer.
"I am lucky too, Harry" I say meaning every word of it. I finally have someone to talk to and he will now actually be her. "What do you wanna do?" I ask looking up at him. "Can yeh cuddle with me?" he says but it sounds more like a question. I can see blush appearing on his face as he doesn't meet my eyes. "Yes, I can do that" I say smiling at him. Harry takes his leather vest off, leaving him in a top.
Harry lays down on his new bed leaving a place for me next to him. I follow him on the bed and lay down next to him. My head rests on his chest and his arm is around my waist, I cuddle closer to him. "Just a warnin' I am going to hold yeh all the time" Harry says holding me even closer if it is even possible. I already know that I am not going to get tired of listening him speaking in real life, I love the Scottish accent.
"Ye smell like books and lavender, with some tea, darling" Harry says, his head pressed against my hair. "You smell like metal, leather and sea" I say back. He chuckles, not the normal high pitched one but a real one. Soulmates are the best thing in the world, without them I wouldn't have met my crazy pirate. We both are are a bit mad but it doesn't bother me or him.
"Love?" Harry asks. I tilt my head so that I can look at him. I never thought that black smudged eyeliner would look good but here I am looking into sea blue eyes that are lined with black eyeliner. "Yes Harry?" I ask waiting him to say something, he looks again nervous and like he isn't sure if he should say whatever he is going to say. "Harry, it's alright, you can ask and tell me anything" I say playing with his fingers.
"Can I be yours? Like your boyfriend?" Harry asks, his cheeks tinted dark pink. For a flirty pirate he is actually really shy. By far that is the most romantic thing someone has ever said to me if you don't count all the things Harry has said before. "Y-Yes, you can be mine" I say blushing. I can see Harry blushing too but he has a big smile on his face. "Thank ye, Y/N" he says looking fondly.
"Darling, may I kiss yeh?" Harry asks, his eyes traveling between my eyes and lips. If I let him do it, it will be my first kiss. But I am sure that I want him to have it so I nod. When Harry has permission he slowly leans in and our lips meet. His lips feel so soft and I feel fireworks and sparks everywhere we touch. The kiss is soft, gentle but our feelings can be felt through it. Harry moves me so that I am laying on top of him, I move my hands so that I can run my fingers through his hair.
Harry hums when I do it and smiles against my lips. After a while we break the kiss and just stare at each other. Then I can't help but giggle, I don't know any other way to express my happiness. Harry chuckles as he sees me so happy. "Ye are adorable" he says kissing my forehead. I just hug him and cuddle myself closer to him. We spend the next few hours cuddling and telling small stories.
It's our first actual day in Auradon. I would have expected it to be worse but I actually think this could work. I sit with Gil, the original four and Ben in the cafeteria waiting for Harry to come eating breakfast. After a few minutes he finally walks in holding Y/N's hand, they get their breakfast. I am surprised that Harry holds her hand because on the Isle he didn't touch anyone in public.
"Good morning you two. Did everything work?" Ben ask as they arrive at the table. Y/N nods, what Harry told about her she hasn't many friends and is really shy. "Yes" Harry says shortly before pulling Y/N on his lap. She lets out a noise before hiding her face in his neck. "Harry" Y/N whines but at the same time she looks happy. "I warned ye darling" Harry says smiling. I am happy that Harry found his soulmate this soon, maybe he finally gets the love he deserves.
"You two are so cute" Evie says and I have to agree with her. "I am not cute" Harry says trying to look serious but he fails. Harry can't stop smiling when she looks at blushing Y/N. "But I agree Y/N is very cute" he continues kissing her forehead. "Harry, stop" she says trying to hide her face. "Ye can't hide if ye wanna have blueberries" Harry says making her head snap up.
"Blueberries?" Y/N asks looking at Harry with wide eyes. "Yes, 'ere" Harry says feeding her blueberries. We all smile at them, if having a soulmate is like that then I hope that I will my soon. The rest of the breakfast goes Harry being a puppy with Y/N and us teasing them.
