You continued to keep eye contact, until you had an odd feeling. You quickly looked away and felt your face heat up. You put your hand on your cheeks in confusion, and felt the warmth there. Your eyes widened. You looked back at the boy, who remained in the same position watching you, albeit with a smirk on his face. You rested your hand on your sword, cleared your throat, and stood a little straighter. You continued your focus on the deal between Mal and Uma.
Apparently Uma wanted to make sure the wand was real; luckily for us, not only did Carlos' dog come with us, but he could also talk. Mal said "I know this may sound absurd, but turn your bark into a word." She then waved the wand around some for effect. When Dude wouldn't speak, Mal said, "Talk dog."
"Does this vest make me look fat? Does anyone have any bacon or cookies?" The crew then erupted in laughter. "Give me the wand!" Uma shouted.
"Give me Ben!" Mal responded. Uma made a head gesture. They then brought Ben over, and Harry cut him loose. You heard him mutter something about 'never having any fun'. Your eyes widened slightly at this, but you kept a relatively calm demeanor. Mal gave Uma the wand, and Ben ran towards us. Uma held the wand above her head, and said some magic words. When nothing happened, she realized it was a fake, and snapped it over her knee. "Ben, run!" Mal shouted. We all ran, but Uma's crew surrounded us. We'd have to fight our way out.
~We got all the ways to be~
Harry jumped in front of you as you were making your way back. "Not so fast." He said with a smirk. You froze and drew your sword. "It doesn't have to go this way, Harry."
He rolled his eyes at this. "Don't be ridiculous, it always has, it always will." He then drew his sword and attacked you. You quickly brought your sword up and blocked the attack, both of you shaking from each other's pressure. This battle went on for several minutes, neither one of you seeming to gain the upper hand. You maintained eye contact throughout the fight, only making you a nervous and blushing mess, and causing you to start losing. He noticed this and flashed a sideways, mischievous grin. You looked around for more options, you noticed he was backing you towards the end of the dock. You looked behind you, at Harry, and back again. You flashed Harry a devious grin, and backed off the edge of the dock, into the water. Harry's eyes widened and he ran to the edge of the dock to look for you. All the while, you had swam underneath the dock, and was up on the other side behind him. You crept up and pushed him in, as he let out a small yelp.
You laughed and watched him splash around as he tried to keep himself above the water. He then figured out a pace, and started swimming towards the dock. Your laughing ceased as you ran. You ran, pushing people out of the way, and into the cold water below. You accidentally shoved Carlos in the water, in your haste. You yelled an apology, but kept running. You heard Harry's footsteps closing fast, so you picked up the pace, however it was not enough this time.
He grabbed you, pulled your back into his chest, and held you there. "Where do ya think yer going lass?" Feeling how close you were, and how toned his torso was, you became nervous. You quickly shook your head to get the thoughts out, but to no avail. He then did the unexpected. He spun you around and kissed you. Your eyes widened, but you responded quickly. As soon as you broke apart, you slapped him across the face. He opened his mouth in shock while turning to look at you, his hand on his cheek. "What was that for!?" He shouted.
"You kissed me!" You responded.
"You kissed me back!" He retorted. You looked to the ground in embarrassment. He continued to look at you, as you shifted your weight between your feet. "Y/n! Let's go!" Mal shouted. You and Harry both turned to look at her, then at each other. "I have to go." You said. He watched you as you walked by, and reached out to you slightly. When you got to the bridge, you turned to him with a sad expression, and walked away.
~W-I-C-K-E-D~
On your way back to Auradon, you thought about Harry. You broke from your thoughts when Ben said, "I'm sure everything will be fine. We have Cotillion to think about." You nodded, and looked out the window, wondering what would be in store.
