Disclaimer: I don't own anything, All of it is Disney's bar Hadrian, he's mine.
I will try to follow the movie as best as I can. Please note that I am writing as I can, and it might take me a while before a chapter is to my liking. I won't be posting every single day, but rather as soon as I finish a chapter. Also there is a slight chance of a POV change to 1st person, I will try to keep 3rd person for as long as possible though.
Chapter 4 – The First Day
He knew he made the right choice in leaving the helm in the museum, even if the alarm did go off after he decided. After all, this was supposed to be his second chance. He wasn't going to risk it all for his father. He thought about all of this as he was sitting in Goodness 101, while Fairy Godmother asked questions.
"What do you do if a baby is crying?" She asked and pointed to the words on the board with her pointer. "Do you: A, Put a Curse on it. B, Leave it alone. C, Give it a bottle. Or D, Poison it." She looked at the five students who all looked disinterested.
"You give it a bottle." Mal said with a bored tone.
"Correct again!" cheered Fairy Godmother.
"How did you get that right?" asked Jay, causing Hadrian to roll his eyes.
"Easy. I picked the one that isn't any fun." She replied in a dry tone.
"Next question. You find a vial a poison on the ground. Do you: A, Put it in the Kings wine. B, Put it in an apple. Or C, Turn it in to the proper authorities." She asked in her sweet, happy voice. She looked expectantly out at the five students, while Evie, Jay, and Carlos all jumped up and down in their seats trying to get picked to answer. "Evie?"
"Umm… What was the second one again?" She asked ditzy like. Causing Fairy Godmother to smile and look at Jay.
"The answer is C." he said smirking at Carlos.
"Correct!"
"Yeah!" Jay yelled at Carlos repetitively, as he grabbed him, gave him a noggie and wrestled him onto the table.
"Enough of that now, save all the energy for the Tourney field" she said trying to defuse the situation, as a young girl with black hair came hurrying in.
"The Family Day Committee needs you signature, Headmistress." Said the girl in a rush. You could tell she was terrified of being in the presence of the villains' children.
"Class this is Jane. My daughter." Introduced Fairy Godmother, despite the embarrassed "Mom" that came from Jane's flushing form, before she rushed out the room as the bell rang.
"Headmistress? Might I have a word?" Hadrian asked her, when the other four left for their next class.
"Certainly, Hadrian. Let us walk and talk." She agreed, and walked with him out the door and towards her office.
"I was wondering if you heard anything from my family in Olympus." He asked quietly so that he wouldn't be overheard.
"Not yet, but be hopeful. It's a long way from Auradon to Olympus so we just have to wait." She said with a kind and hopeful look on her face.
"Oh okay" he replied not so hopeful. "There's something else. I…I want to stay in Auradon. Or anywhere. I don't want to go back, Fairy Godmother. Please I really need your help to stay. I can't go back to my father."
"Oh Hadrian. I'll do everything I can to make sure you can stay, but it isn't up to me."
"Then who? Who do I have to talk to?" He questioned.
"Prince Ben, Queen Belle, or King Beast, I'm afraid."
"Then I'll have to show them my best behavior." He said smiling, before he thanked he and left for his next class.
History class was alright, well as alright as having and owl-turned-professor can be. None the less, Professor Archimedes knew his stuff. Hadrian though wasn't all there today in class. He had bigger things on his mind. He wondered if he'd see his mother and grandmother at the Family Day party tomorrow afternoon. He really wanted to believe that they thought him capable of it. He couldn't stop thinking of what could go wrong though. He really couldn't. Because as you know, bad things happen.
"You want to WHAT?!" Hadrian screamed at Mal when she told him their plan, as she was stirring in the ingredients into the silver mixing bowl. All five kids were spread across the kitchen. Carlos on the counter to the left of Mal's, Jay standing beside Carlos, and Evie and Mal mixing at the counter next to the fridge in front of Hadrian.
"Oh come on it's just a love potion. Sides I'm not gonna leave it on forever." She said like it was no big deal messing with someone's emotions.
"That's not the point! Why must you guys resort to magic every time something you don't like happens?!" Hadrian shouted giving up on Mal trying to be good, she was trying to hard just to please her mother. He couldn't help her any longer.
"Okay all it needs now is one tear drop." Said Mal "And I don't solve everything with magic" she rebutted, earning a "are you for real" look from Hadrian.
"Alright so let's chop some onions and be done with it." Said Carlos holding up an onion.
"That won't work we need emotional human tears." Countered Mal. "and we don't cry."
Suddenly out of nowhere, Lonnie, Mulan's Daughter, walks in. "Hey Guys!" she greets cheerfully. "Whatcha making?" she asks as she dips her finger in the bowl, followed by five shouts of "No!" "What I wasn't gonna double-dip." She says confused.
After a few seconds, and Lonnie is still looking at them confused, Mal asks "Is it missing anything?"
As Lonnie opens the fridge, she replies. "Actually yeah, chocolate! My mom makes the best cookies when we can't sleep." She starts talking as she puts a handful of chips into the bowl. Though she stops her sorry when she gets five looks of confusion. "What? Your parents never baked you cookies before?" at the silence she continued "I mean I know they're villains and all but I just thought even villains loved their kids too." She finished lamely. "I'm so sorry." She says as a tear trickles down her cheek.
Shocked, Mal jumps forward, swipes the tear off Lonnie's face, and throws it into the bowl. "Done" she exclaims with a smile.
"Come on Lonnie. Let's give them some room." Hadrian says as he walks Lonnie back to the cafeteria. "To be honest, I haven't stayed with my father since I was 5." He started after they were some ways away from the kitchen. "We never had the best relationship when I was growing up. He resented being on the Isle so much that he made it miserable to be around, and one day I found an empty room in a warehouse on the edge of the island facing Auradon. I slowly started to leave things there on mine, that after a while I had all my stuff there. He never noticed, not even after I never came home. The first time in 11 years that I talked to him was the day I came to Auradon." He told her a bit of his story, to make her understand that not all villain kids had it made like the heroes' kids. There wasn't hugs and kisses on the Isle. The villains made it all bad, with no good found anywhere. "I can't speak for the others, as growing up I didn't really play with anyone else, but they had it better than I did. They had parents who, in some sick way, cared about them. Even if it was only as future heirs." He glanced at Lonnie, only to see more tears on her face. "Please, don't pity us. They won't appreciate it, and I just grew to accept my Fate. The life of a Villain's kid isn't chocolate and roses. Some of us want to get out, but knew no one would accept us, so we never tried." He said as they finally approached Lonnie's dorm room. "Thank you for listening, Lonnie. Have a good night." He said quietly as he turned to leave for his dorm room, in a melancholy mood.
