Two chapters almost in row?, yes.

I hope you enjoy it!

******At Auradon Prep's dinner hall******

Harriet and Claudine decided to go down at the dinner hall at the hour Mal said that dinner was served, they didn't want to be too early just in case an Auradonian spoke to them or too late if food was going to ran out before they had their meal.

The dinner hall was probably the biggest room they had been in their life and one of the nicest, there were tables with cloths and cutlery on them everywhere and people were actually eating orderly instead of trying to fight other for more food.

They walked in hearing some mutters from the students, which they ignored or tried to, then saw Jace, Harry, Dizzy and Hermie at the same table as Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay and Ben. It was only fair that the youngest got the more attention from them and they seemed to be enjoying it.

The king looked at them as if he wanted to ask them to sit but Evie gave him a look that said "Let them be, for now"

Then they saw Anthony, Diego and Hal in a table far from the others, for the girls it was the safest bet to sit with the people they knew better so went to them.

"What's up?" Harriet greeted them as she sat down by Diego's side and in front of Anthony, there was some awkwardness but soon it was dissipated when she added "Anything interesting?"

Hal gave his seat to Claudine and grabbed another chair to sit. The blonde girl just gave them a nod as her way of greeting them, they didn't take any offense since the most common way of greet in the Isle was some form of insult or punch…. or no greeting at all.

"Nothing interesting" Hal responded and pointed with his head to Anthony "I'm sharing room with this brat, he has already taken up three quarters of our room"

"It could be worse and I'm just using my half of the room" Anthony shrugged, he was just another person too used to having his own room back in the Isle that he was still processing the fact that he would have to share with freaking Hal Westergaard. He just hoped that the boy wasn't a brute like his older brothers and everything would be alright.

"Yes, at least you are not sharing with a guy far too obsessed with golden things and god who may burn everything if bothered" Diego snorted and everyone laughed but their laughter soon died as Hadie was behind them and scoffed "I haven't burn anything"

"Yet" Diego pointed out at the faint flame that was forming on the god's hair and knew that he was right to be worried, he just had an inkling.

"You are sharing with two persons?" Anthony asked surprised as he had assumed that sharing with one was bad enough, maybe he shouldn't complain about the redhead who was his roommate as Hadie was totally worse and Henry…was Henry.

"Yes, Carlos said that they are searching a new roommate for Jay and after he gets settled in another room I'll share with him" The white haired boy explained "It's not that bad…"

"Why would Jay need a new roommate?" Hal asked curiously, the De Vil boy and Jafar's son seemed to get along well.

"Jay gets up too early for Carlos' taste since he is in most sports' teams and had to go training, and Carlos' goes to sleep too late since he is always working on something either fashion or programming"

"Oh" Harriet said "Then I'll have problems with Claudine"

The blonde girl sighed and said "I'll avoid bothering you but I'll make no promises…"

After a while that Melinoe,Henry and Yzla joined them; Claudine knew that the girls had probably napped and that Henry was looking around for discarded jewels.

Then the food was served by some waiters who were wearing blue and yellow, Auradon's colors and they almost rolled his eyes but none of them had seen so much food in their lives and the waiters were carrying many plates that had meals that they had only seen on TV.

"We can eat all of this?" Diego asked in awe as he took a bite of a baguette, he knew what kind of bread it was since sometimes it was shipped to the Isle even if it had mold on it.

"It's better than Frollo's crepes" Anthony commented as he tried some crepes, he didn't care if he was eating dessert before his vegetables or whatever his mother used to say, he craned his neck to see how Dizzy was and when he saw she was eating, he looked back to his plate.

"Hey!" Claudine took some offense to that, her father's employees did their best with what they had. Then she decided that she would try them later as she smelled how good that mushroom soup was.

"I could get used to this" Harriet commented as she tried a fried chicken leg, it tasted like heaven and she suddenly wondered about her siblings but shook away that thought as she wanted to enjoy her first meal in Auradon.

The rest just started to put things on their plates as if they would never see food again, and in their minds it was probably a chance.

"Finally I can eat what I deserve" Henry muttered and Hal nodded as he ate his soup.

"So this is soufflé" Anthony said eating the said food with slow chews after he finished his crepe.

"And we have dessert" Yzla squaled looking at the muffins and then asked craning her neck "Where are the rest?"

Hadie looked around and pointed to a table where the missing VK's were "There are Eddie and Big Murph with some AK's"

Eddie and Big Murph had joined the younger VK's, the Rotten Four and the King for dinner and were having a great time if their shy smiles and laughter was a good sign, Hal had to admit that they were among the kinder hearted people in the Anti-Hero club despite Eddie being so quiet and Big Murph so bulky, so they deserved to be there.

Then he remembered that Evie and the rest had forgotten about the Anti-Hero Club for many months before sending the invitations, and if his read of the situation was right…it hadn't been their idea but the king's, maybe he should keep an eye on the boy.

"When do you think we will have to spend time with those "heroes"?" Hadie asked trying to sound uninterested.

"Maybe during weekends" Diego said knowing that the god wasn't looking forward to spending time with Hercules and Megara "But since my father didn't have any enemies so…"

"You may spend time with Roger and Anita" Claudine commented and they looked at her with a strange expression, she blushed "What? I liked to read about Auradon back in the Isle"

"She is talking too much" Anthony thought a little amused, it wasn't a bad thing but it felt strange as they were accustomed to her silence as her way of sending messages was through the ring of the bells, that was how Mad Maddy had discovered the Anti-Hero Club.

"So you will have to meet the Hunchback" Henry said shuddering "And the Gipsy and her shining captain, surely your father told you all about them…at least they are not thief's like that damned Robin Hood"

"I suppose" Claudine muttered as she suddenly lost her appetite, she had grown up hearing about Quasimodo's betrayal but she knew that anyone who was raised by Claude Frollo's had the wish of leaving his "care".

They fell silent; no one wanted to really discuss the fact that they would have to spend time with their parent's enemies as they were wary about the Heroes' reaction to them.

Harriet wasn't eager to meet Peter Pan or any of the fairies but she had to admit that she liked the idea of going to Neverland, after all she wanted adventure though she felt about leaving her crew behind but she felt a little bit better when she gave a quick glance to Big Murph, if he could make it then the Smee's would.

Anthony couldn't care less if he had to spend time with Cinderella and her brat (he already hated that guy even if he had shown his cousin some kindness), but he was sure that Dizzy was eager to go and he was not leaving the only member of his family in Auradon alone, though he felt that Auradon wasn't really worth it if his mother was still with Grandmother.

Melinoe wanted to get started with the plan, the sooner they started it the sooner they partied, schmoozed and went home, though she was somewhat wary about what her mother, Persephone, thought about that since she usually wasn't on board with Hades' plans even if she loved him. Hadie meanwhile was eager to meet his other cousins even if he wasn't looking forward to meet Hercules' family, his son had already shown some animosity when they arrived.

Yzla was a little scared of meeting the Emperor, her mother never said anything good about her former foster son as she considered him a traitor and a nuisance and if he was raised by Yzma…she shuddered at the thought as she remembered her brother Zevon, who had returned in disgrace to the Isle after a failed plot with CJ Hook.

Hal on one side wanted to make a good impression on the Ice Queen, and in the other he hadn't make a decision about stealing Arendelle and the Southern Isles, if he was to get them he needed a plan and he didn't have one…yet, for the moment it would be good to analyze the situation and wait for the opportunity to seize something.

After a long silence the hall was being emptied as the chatter was dying and at some point the Auradonians had suddenly lost interest in their new classmates. After finishing their dinner Harriet, Claudine, Anthony and Hal decided to stay there for a while just to hang out and the others wanted to go to sleep, then a group of students passed by giving them a quick glance and among them there was the blonde guy Claudine spotted when they arrived…and he was looking at her again.

Harriet pointed that out as she nudged the blonde girl's arm and Claudine blushed looking down.

"If you want him, you have to talk to him" Anthony commented putting a hand on his cheek "If you like someone that's the only way to…"

"I can't " The former bell ringer interrupted ashamedly, she was never good at speaking and even less to boys and this conversation was exhausting her.

"It's not difficult" Hal added and smiled "You go a say a few words to him then keep doing that when he says something"

"You say that because you are a guy, it's easy for you"

"Harriet asked Anthony out" Hal reminded them which gave them an aura of awkwardness once again.

After the party at Hell Hall, they had dated for a while then suddenly broken up leaving the whole Dragon Hall student body surprised as they had assumed that they were meant to be, though most villains looked down on love some still remembered that feeling. Sammy Smee made the rumor that they decided that they were too different to be a couple and decided to be allies… but almost no one believed that and chose to believe that Ginny Gothel had snatched Anthony for herself since he had momentarily joined her gang just before Mad Maddy left their side of the Isle and Uma kidnapped Ben.

"At least meet him" Harriet said rolling her eyes and avoided speaking about her former relationship.

"Maybe tomorrow…shouldn't you be plotting to take a ship and go met your sister?" The blonde snapped.

"Not soon" The dark haired girl muttered "I still don't know what I want to do…"

"And you shouldn't be thinking about ways to get a princess of sorts?" Claudine asked the boys, the sooner they changed the topic it would be better.

"In a school full of princesses, looking for one?" The Westergaard boy asked amusedly "That would be a hard thing to do"

Anthony rolled his eyes and said in a huff "That's…ridiculous, most of these girls seem boring"

Before Harriet could make a comment she noticed that Ben was approaching them with Mal at his side, they seemed to be the perfect couple and Hal for a moment could see how much their match was perfect, his father had taught him how to choose the people you had to keep around and in an ideal case a romantic partner.

"Your old crush" Harriet mocked Anthony and he made a face. Even when they were dating she reminded him that Mal had turned him down at the party at Hell Hall, everyone had seen that and it was one of the most humiliating moments of his life.

"Hi guys" Ben greeted them with a warm smile that could light a room.

"Hi" They said back.

Ben gave his girlfriend a look and she rolled her eyes before asking trying to sound as warm as hi but failing at it "Is everything okay?"

"Okay as it could be" Hal said intertwining his fingers "We have rooms, beds and new clothes, oh and we dinner…nothing like back home"

"Do you have any question?" Belle's son asked politely, he knew that he should have been more attentive to the Rotten Four back when they arrived as he noticed that they had a bit of trouble adjusting to some things after the coronation.

Harriet and Anthony looked at each other and smirked, and then Harriet asked with an innocent tone: "What his name?" She pointed to the blonde guy who was still with his friends at the entrance.

Mal blinked with confusion and shrugged as even if she was almost a year on Auradon Prep she still didn't remember everyone's name and not for the lack of trying, it was just too difficult to remember who everyone was and whose child they were, still she knew that he was one of Jay's R.O.A.R. teammates and probably about to graduate. On the other hand, Ben looked over to the group and quickly responded: "He is Zephyr de Chateaupers, son of Captain Phoebus and Esmeralda"

Claudine gasped and put her hand at her mouth, and then she ran away to her room. They all had the feeling that she wouldn't be going out of it the next day and that it would take a bit of coaction to get her out.

"What happened?" Mal demanded to them, the fae may not trust the whole group but she was willing to bet that Claudine was one of the not rotten apples of the Isle as she knew that Frollo still thought of himself as a hero.

"Claudine may or may not have a small crush on him" Hal explained sheepishly "And we were just encouraging her to speak to him"

"They paralyzed when they saw each other at the entrance when we arrived" Harriet added.

Mal shook her head in a little confusion and then wanted to kick herself for being so slow, the same had happened to her and Ben when she first arrived even when she had pushed down those feelings before the coronation and the whole wand debacle.

That was so cheesy but so Auradonian that she should have known that it could happen when the kids arrived.

"The spark of true love" Anthony said with a bored tone "Love at first sight"

They looked at him strangely for his comment, they weren't expecting him to know about that.

"My mother used to tell me fairy tales when I was younger, you know the prince and the princess and so on… and made me tell them to Dizzy when she couldn't" He defended himself with a blush, something strange on him and he thought "What the hell is Auradon doing to me? I have been here just for afew hours!"

Then they went to their rooms to rest, they would have a lot of thing to do the next day and Ben just notified his personal assistant to tell the teachers to slow down a little bit the lessons they prepared for the next day.

Still, Ben was sure that nothing could go wrong since it was only the first day of school.

******At Mal's and Evie's room******

Mal on the other hand wasn't so sure, the classes they had on Dragon Hall weren't in any way similar to those they taught in Auradon Prep. Most of the subjects were focused on ways to improve their parents or grandparents' plans and how to apply them if they ever got out of their…prision.

She had been focused on forgetting about her life previous to Auradon, hat had been her main goal since the Cotillion. Sure she had come to terms that she was Maleficent's daughter, a kid from the Isle of the Lost, and that she would never be an Auradon girl in the same way Evie had become.

And she knew that she had to accept that not asking for more kids to come was egotistical but she also knew that having them there would make her remember how cruel she had been back there and how messed up things were.

The purple haired girl wasn't ready to talk about it, of course Jay and Carlos knew but they wanted to forget about it too and she wasn't ready to discuss it with Evie, who had been spared from most of it, or Ben.

Especially Ben, it would shatter his view of the world even if he had been always interested on improving life at the Isle of the Lost.

Living with her mother had not been nice and even if she had a little love in her heart…her parenting skills were not the best and the goblins did most of the job anyway.

The fae rolled in her bed as she thought about what was waiting for them in the next day.
