Summary
It’s odd how someone can often miss the signs of strong relationships that exist around them - especially ones originating on the Isle.
The son of Cruella DeVil can see some of them now more clearly - his bonds to Evie, Jay, and Mal. They grew to depend on one another, to trust one another. These relationships have only grown since their arrival at Auradon Prep.
But he’s always been the little brother of the group, hasn’t he?
He’s always been coddled by Jay, mothered by Evie, protected by Mal - as much as one could be on the Isle and, now, off it, though it's not always obvious or overt.
Still, Carlos feels it.
He can’t ignore it.
But then there’s the Smee twins, Squeaky and Squirmy.

Summary
“What’s the big deal?” Mal asks.
“The big deal is that the Auradon drinking age is twenty-one,” Ben tells her.
-----
What were the isle conditions really like? Ben wonders. Mal and her friends tend to keep the specifics to themselves, and the newer VKs, like Uma and Harry, are almost strangers to him still, for all he’s been kidnapped and saved by them in turn. He doesn’t feel right asking them so directly right now, either, which leaves Ben with one burning question:
Why would children be drinking on the isle?Series

Summary
“What?”
This is not what Jane was expecting when she was summoned to the dorm-room of one Harry Hook.
The red clad pirate sighs, the arm with the paper he so rudely shoved into her face falling to his side as he stands in the doorway (rudely not inviting her in). “Do I need to spell it out to you? I thought a picture would suffice.” He holds up the cartoonishly drawn image besides his face, using his other hand to flamboyantly frame it, as if her attention wouldn’t be caught by the paper alone without his additional, signature flourish.
Or
One very reasonable request from one very reasonable Harry Hook.

Summary
“All you guys are doing is playing as yourselves. Like- you have a real life pirate crew and everything,” Carlos complains at the start of their first Dungeons & Dragons session.
“So?” Uma asks. She crosses her arms, cocking an eyebrow as she stares him down across the wooden table.
“Ya sayin’ there’s a problem with how we playin’ the game?” asks Harry, who’s seated to her right with Gil flanking his other side as the red clad pirate leans threatenly over the table.
It’s then that Carlos realizes he should have kept quiet about this and tries to backtrack. “No, I mean-”
“Didn’t you say we could be whoever we wanted to be?” Uma asks.
“Yeah, but-”
“So it really shouldn’t matter.”
“Yes, but-”“Why are there so many ‘buts’ in this conversation? Unless we’re talking about mine,” Harry interjects, manic blue eyes flashing in amusement.
---------------------------
The group tries their hand at playing D&D, and it goes about as well as anyone expects.

“Harry,” Mal starts, “just how many times have you been cursed? If your answer is more than once, it’s probably too many.”

Summary
It’s 3:45am something in the morning. The gym doors are ajar.
Nothing else really registers, and Dude is still oddly quiet and calm, maybe halfway asleep himself, so it’s not until Carlos steps just outside the doorway of the gym, absentmindedly looking inside the room as he starts to pass by, that he realizes something is not quite as it should be.
The body suddenly dropping to the floor, splatting in front of the young DeVil just inside the doorway, only confirms this.

Summary
“And you're sure you advertised it?” Uma asks, leaning around Gil to look Harry in the eye. The three of them are standing at the designated meeting spot for the event. In fact, they are the only ones standing in the designated meeting spot for the event.
“Of course I advertised it! I had Gil help me put up posters and everythin’!”
“And where, exactly, did you put up these posters?”
“Ye know,” Harry says, unconvincingly, “around.”
“And did you ask anybody in person?”
“Sure- loads of people.”
She waits a beat before prompting. “And?”
He shrugs. “I said I asked.”
-----------
In hindsight, Uma shouldn’t have let Harry choose their next club event.

Summary
The stranger grins. “Hey-hey! It’s Maui! Your favorite immortal demigod!”
Silence greets this proclamation, with many students still trying to catch their breath from the man’s abrupt appearance. As the silence continues, the man’s grin starts to falter.
Jane, coming to stand up from the floor by the window, gathers up enough courage to ask: “Who?”
------------------
Maui is a guest lecturer at Auradon Prep and Harry Hook is the only one who seems to know who he is.

Summary
“I thought you would be delighted to know,” Fairy Godmother says, smiling widely at him, practically radiating excitement as she leads him down the hall, “that your request for an animal has been finalized.”
Harry feels his heart stutter before picking back up in his own excitement, his face likely coming to match that of the fairy’s in front of him. “Ye mean I ge’ me crocodile?”
Her lips purse for a second. “In a manner of speaking, yes.”
----------------------
Harry finally gets what he wants… or does he?

Summary
With a soft click, Harry watches in fascination as a panel in the wood moves and pops out to reveal a whole separate, but connected, board of buttons, these ones in various sizes and colors.
“Wha’ do we have here?”
Maybe the big round purple one opens up a hidden wall panel full of treasure, and the glowing orange one a whole circus of other things? There is no telling what is or isn’t possible –and Harry sure wants to find out what is.
And the first most logical step is obviously to push every one of these buttons to see what sticks.

Or Ben learns a lesson about punctuality and national security.
