Halloween night, 2007, on the isle of the lost.
Young 6-year-old Harry Hook sat in the hull of the jolly roger, pouting to himself as he picked at his scarce stolen candy.
The isle never got much in the way of candy, the most they got was during the month of Halloween that the parents of Auradon threw away early for some odd reason.
Though what candy the isle got was little, and the "good stuff" was still on Auradon.
And Harry had unfortunately gotten a bad pick of candy this year, nasty fruit ropes that tasted like death, molding "coconut" chocolate candy that was too mushy to really enjoy, and watermelon looking hard candy.
The best he got was little wrapped hard pieces of candy that looked like brown barrels that had a slight spice to them.
Harry dropped the piece of candy he was holding and sighed, starting to stand and getting ready to turn in for the night after the disappointing Halloween.
"jus' like last year" Harry mumbled, brushing off his horrifically made copy of his father's jacket, he paused, something rang across his ears. "wha' was-"
Come little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children, the time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic.
"singing?" Harry quietly asked himself, turning towards where the voice was coming from. It seemed hypnotic or at least was supposed to be, but It had no grab to it as if it had lost its power.
But Harry's curious nature pushed him to seek the voice out. He snuck off his father's ship and followed the voice into the dark forest near pirates bay.
He ducked as he spotted an old slim woman, the one who was singing, waving her hands about and twirling.
"Winnie~" the woman stopped singing, spinning around and crossing her arms, and whining at a hidden figure "It's not working!"
"of course it's not you twit, the stupid barrier blocks our powers, we won't be getting any children tonight!"
"wait!" a plump woman stepped into the mood light, her eyes glinting "I smell a child~"
"that's just (y/n) you idiot!" the hidden figure scoffed, stepping next to the slim woman, and smacking her torso "keep your child inside sister, they will ruin our plans"
"But we can use them to lure children! Maybe they can even lure a boy~"
"silence Sarah" the oldest woman scoffed, turning and walking back towards the rackety shack near a pond. "sistars!"
"coming Winnie!" the slim one called back, hiking up her dress and running after the oldest.
"But Winnie! The child!" the plump one moaned, turning her eyes right at Harry.
Harry held his breath and ducked behind a tree, freezing as he heard the woman sniff the air and continue to walk closer to his hiding spot. Wait...shit! he walked right into the Sander-
"Auntie! It's just me!" Harry's jaw dropped as a child, who seemed just around his age, popped up from behind the tree in front of him, a small smile on their face "sorry, but there's no other kids around"
The plump woman groaned and shook her head, stomping back into the shack. "little brat, fooling me"
The child watched until the door closed, slumping against the tree in relief as they looked at him "you shouldn't be here, you don't wanna know what happens when my mom and aunts get their hands on kids" they walked over to him and pulled at the lapels of his jacket, the hood of their cloak falling as they did so.
They beamed at him "but im not gonna let anything happen to ya don't worry......sorry I don't know your name?" they tilted their head at him, their bright (e/c) eyes staring into his.
"H-Harry" Harry stuttered out, gasping as the child grabbed his hand and started pulling him the opposite way of the old shack the old woman were in.
"Nice ta meet ya Harry im (y/n)!" (y/n) chirped, flipping their hood back over their head and continuing to lead Harry out of the forest.
Moments later they reached the edge and (y/n) turned, grabbing Harry's arms, spinning around, and pushing him over the edge "now you have ta promise that you won't come back no matter what, and to never follow random singing" (y/n) pouted at harry, wiggling their finger in his face "it's too dangerous"
"I-um" Harry stuttered again, wringing his hands together before he stomped his foot "they aren't even tha' scary! I can take 'em"
(y/n) just shook their head "doesn't matter, they'll eat you if they get the chance"
"e-eat me?!" Harry squeaked, taking a step back from (y/n) "wait aren't yeh one of their kids- won't yeh eat me too?"
"no!" (y/n) shook their head defiantly, scowling at Harry "that's just gross, eating kids, Id rather eat rotten candy" (y/n) crossed their arms and tilted their head at Harry "what you think all witches eat kids?"
"well, they-" Harry swallowed harshly "ur mums a Sanderson ain't she? She's known for tha' "
(y/n)s shoulders dropped "well I'm not my mother" Harry felt slightly bad as (y/n) curled in on themselves, looking off.
"hey-i....thank yeh fer savin' meh" (y/n) perked up, smiling at him.
"you're welcome Harry, now DON'T got back into the forest on Halloween night ever again" (y/n) once more shook their finger in his face, pouting at him.
Harry nodded slowly, placing his hand on theirs and pushing their hand down "why Halloween night only?"
"because that's when they think they are most powerful, and the only time they are brave enough to wander outside the shack....aunt Winnie makes me go out to get food and all that every other time" (y/n) explained, eyes turning to the sky and gasping.
"you have to get home! It won't be long before my aunt gets another idea to get kids, go go!" (y/n) pushed at Harry's shoulders, back towards pirate bay.
"Alright alright im goin'!" Harry yelled, shaking his head at the odd witch, he turned to start walking back towards his dad's ship when he stopped. He spun back around, watching (y/n) walk back into the forest. "wait!" (y/n) groaned and stopped, spinning around to look at him with raised brows.
"what" they snapped, glaring at him.
"will I ever see yeh again?" Harry asked, blinking in surprise as (y/n)s cheeks turned dark and they looked down at the forest floor.
"um-i-maybe...I have to go!" (y/n) turned and ran back into the forest to her home, leaving Harry at the forest edge.

12 years later, on Halloween night, Harry sat in his temporary room at Evie's castle, sitting on his bed while Gil and Uma sorted through their first real batch of Halloween candy.
Most of it had been leftovers from Evie's trick or treaters, but Evie had made them chaperone Dizzy, Celia, and the twins for their first Halloween.
And the younger VKs had somehow roped them into Trick or treating with them, which luckily the people of Auradon were nice enough to ignore that they were technically too old to trick or treat.
Harry could recount Evie scoffing at the "Age limit", saying that no one is too old to trick or treat.
"Gil hand me that orange one" Uma muttered, chewing on a Butterfinger.
"The Reese's?" Gil asked, holding up the flat packaging and handing it to Uma.
"yep, thanks...Harry you good?" Uma asked, noticing Harry staring out the window.
"hm?" Harry turned back to her, his eyes drooping "ah, sorry Uma, zoned out"
"well, it has been a tiring night....I'mma head in for tonight, night boys"
"night Uma" Harry and Gil called back in chorus, Gil leaving after Uma a moment later, leaving Harry alone in his room.
Come little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children, the time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic.
Harry perked up, he knew that song.....he definitely knew that song.
Though this time, the hypnotic power it had was present, taking hold of his mind and dragging him out of his room and out the door of Evie's castle.
Harry walked deeper into the forest surrounding Evie's castle, the voice becoming louder as he walked.
Suddenly he was grabbed, the cackling of three women echoing in his ears.
"oh, it's a boy! Hes Handsome too~I want to play with him~!"
"later Sarah, first we must take him along with the others back to the cottage, he'll be the first for your child, let them experience the dark art of Magic!"
"ohhh! Yes! Let em' learn, let 'em learn, let 'em learn!"
Harry's vision went black, and he woke later in a chair, something invisible tying him down to it.
"wha'?" Harry muttered, pulling at his arm "where...shit" Harry tried to wriggle his wrist to draw the small switchblade in his jacket sleeve when the three Sanderson sisters walked in, holding two small children in their arms.
"ohhh hes awake!" the thin one, Sarah he guessed, gasped, clapping her hands together.
Harry let out a snarl and thrashed in his chair, the sisters gasped and reeled back. "nasty one isn't he" the one with the odd lips, Winnie, muttered "perfect for our little imp isn't he Mary"
"perfect Winnie" the plump one snickered, licking her lips as she separated from her sisters and dragged one of the children over a chair next to Harry, forcing the young girl down into it and snapping her fingers, silver rope wrapping around the girl's arms and legs and binding her to the chair "there we go!"
Sarah giggled and grabbed the boy she had by the scruff of his zombie costume and dragged him over to the chair on Harry's left, pushing him into the chair and binding him with the silver rope that turned invisible like Harrys.
"ohhhh (y/n)~" Harry perked up....he knew that name?
From the door on Harry's right, someone stepped out from the shadows, wearing a long dark pink jacket that tapered off at their waist, a corset type top with fishnet under top underneath it, ripped black jeans with scuffed brown boots, a belt with a pouch resting on their left hip that held two beakers resting on their left thigh.
"yes, aunt Winnie" the teen witch sighed, their hood hiding their face from Harry. Winnie grabbed an odd brown colored spell book with an eye on it and handed it to the hooded teen.
"here, finish the life potion while we go get more children, the...pirate boy is yours to do what you wish with" Winnie patted the teens head and turned "Sistars!" she stormed out of the cottage, the two witches running after their sister.
"coming Winnie!!"
The door slammed shut, the teen watching the door for a good minute before they sighed and dropped the book on the table to their right "thank hades" they tipped their head back, ruffling their (h/c) hair and blowing a raspberry "thought they'd never leave" they rushed over to a cabinet and ripped the doors open, rummaging through spices and herbs. "wormswart wormswart, where are you wormswart-ah-ha!"
They spun around, holding a jar of some sort of liquid and opening it, a hiss of silver mist rising from the bottle, they held the bottle delicately over the cauldron holding the boiling potion of life and poured a single drop of wormswart into the potion.
The potion turned a sickly brown, sputtering into the teen witches face. "ugh" they groaned, leaning back and wiping their face.
They grabbed a large spoon and mixed the potion, stirring until it turned back into a dark green. "there we go, now they can't use it" the teen muttered, looking up and locking eyes with Harry. "now to get you all out of here before they come back!"
With a wave of their hand, a silver pocket knife appeared, and they speed-walked over to Harry, cutting the invisible ropes at his hands. "im sorry about this, I tried to spell them to sleep until tomorrow at dawn but im not very good at potions other than ruining them"
"(y/n)?" Harry asked aloud, the teen stopped, slowly looking up at Harry, their still bright (e/c) eyes widening.
"Harry! What-" they stood, leaning over Harry and shaking their finger in his face, "I told you not to follow the singing!"
Harry smirked at them and mocked bite their finger, (y/n) gasped and reeled back, pouting at him and smacking his chest. "jerk, im saving you from being eaten and yet you repay me like this?"
Harry chuckled and grabbed the knife from (y/n)s hand, cutting the rope from his legs "sorry love, couldn't resist"
"l-love?" (y/n) stuttered, backing away from Harry and staring at him oddly.
Harry just looked at them, making their cheeks turn dark "you....you grew up" they muttered, looking away from Harry.
"heh" Harry chuckled, standing from the chair and looking to his right "we should probably get them outta here huh?"
"y-yeah" (y/n) stuttered, waving their hand and another silver knife appeared, walking over to the boy while Harry kneeled next to the girl and started to cut them free. "I'll need to break the spell my mom put on them before we take them back, otherwise they'll get their hands on them again."
Harry nodded, picking up the girl dressed like a princess and setting her on his hip, her head resting in his neck.
(y/n) picked up the boy and walked over to harry, muttering a counterspell under their breath, and with a snap of their fingers, the two kids snapped out of their trance. The Girl leaning away from Harry and looking from him to (y/n), her eyes wide.
"where-whats" her lip wobbled, starting to cry a bit. the boy stared at Harry with wide eyes.
"you're Harry Hook" the boy whispered in awe, squeaking a bit as (y/n) rearranged their grip on him.
"that's all dandy but we have to get you both back to your homes, the witches will be back soon and I need to be here when they are"
Harry nodded, pressing the girl's face back into his neck and following (y/n) out to the back door.
"come on, the main town is this way!"

Harry and (y/n) dropped the girl off, who told them her name of Sofia, and hurried her inside. "now don't go after random singing on Halloween okay, it only leads to bad things" (y/n) warned them, handing the young girl a slip of paper with markings on it "as long as you have this, you will be protected from my mother's song" Sofia nodded, unsure but ran into her house, slamming the door behind her.
"alrigh'" Harry sighed, shifting Elijah in his arms and looked at the young boy "where do yeh live?"
Elijah pointed across the street and down a few houses "tha' close huh?" Harry muttered, letting the boy down and watching him as he ran toward his home.
The boy stopped as (y/n) called his name, turning as they jogged over to him and handed him another piece of paper "thanks" Elijah squeaked, bolting into his house and slamming the door closed.
(y/n) sighed, rubbing their face in exhaustion "two down....however many kids to go" (y/n) rolled their neck and looked over at harry "now lets get you home too"
Harry stared at (y/n) as they walked up to him and held out their hands "I didn't do this with the kids because I know they would freak but I can teleport us to where you live"
"yeh can teleport?" Harry asked, tilting his head as he stared at (y/n)s hands.
"yep, me, my mother, and my aunts each have a special power, my mom has a hypnotic singing voice, my aunt Mary can sniff out any kid from miles away, and my aunt Winnie can shoot lightning from her hands" Harry nodded slowly, grabbing onto (y/n)s hands.
"so what now?" Harry asked, watching as (f/c) smoke started to rise around him and (y/n)
"where do you live?" (y/n) chuckled, smiling at him.
"uh, im staying at Evie's castle right now"
"oh, I know where that is!" (y/n) cheered, the smoke swirling around them for a moment before it dissipated, revealing them now to be in front of Evie's castle.
"cool" Harry muttered, not noticing (y/n) look down at their still intertwined hands and hurriedly ripped their hands away from him, Harry turned to (y/n), furrowing his brows as (y/n) looked around with wandering eyes "don't go back" (y/n) whipped around to look at him with surprise.
"i-what?"
"don't go back, stay here" Harry pleaded, grabbing onto (y/n)s shoulders "yer not happy there, and yer gonna waste away being their slave"
(y/n) just stared at him, sighing as they grabbed his hands and slowly took them off their shoulders "I.....I have to, to protect the kids"
Harry sighed, biting his lip in thought "okay....but!" (y/n) looked at harry, confusion swimming in their eyes "after tonight, come back here, im sure Evie would be happy to accommodate yeh, i'll even ask for extra measure" (y/n) shook their head, looking over their shoulder back towards the witches cottage.
"...okay" (y/n) sighed, giggling as harry beamed at them and grabbed their shoulders in his excitement.
"Okay!?"
"okkayy! I'll come back tomorrow after my mom and aunts are asleep" Harry grinned at (y/n), chuckling as (y/n) smiled back.
"but....why do you want me to come back after tonight?" (y/n) asked, tilting their head at harry.
"because you saved meh from them 12 years ago...might as well return tha' favor?" Harry smirked, snickering as (y/n)s cheeks darkened.
"well...I should get back now....see ya later?" (y/n) stepped away from Harry, (f/c) smoke rising around them.
"see ya later" Harry confirmed, waving (y/n) goodbye as the smoke complexly enveloped them and they disappeared.
Harry sighed, cracking his neck and walking back inside Evie's castle, sneaking back up to his room and flopping on his bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep instantly from the crazy night.

Harry sighed in relief as the next morning, when Evie turned on the tv and the Auradon news came up, some breaking news came up about how the Sanderson sisters had been caught attempting their old antics with stealing the life force of children and had been arrested.
And the child of Sarah Sanderson had been confirmed secretly helping the children escaped, as claimed by the many children saved by the teen witch.
"aint (y/n) Sanderson that kid you met on the isle when you were like, 6? Harry?" Uma asked aloud, looking over her shoulder at Harry as he stuck another piece of pancakes in his mouth.
He swallowed and nodded, picking at his scrambled eggs "aye, and I....shoot, Evie I saw 'em again last night, and might have told them if they wanted to they could come here?"
"that's perfectly fine" Evie gushed, wiping her flour-covered hands on her apron "I have plenty of room for them here, and-wait you saw them? How?"
"uhhh" Harry stalled, watching as Uma set her fork down and stared at him with raised brows.
"you did a stupid didn't you?" Uma droned, leaning on her intertwined hands.
"uhhh, yes?" Harry winched, yelping as Uma sent a torrent of water at him "hey! I was bewitched! It wasn't meh fault!" Harry pouted, crossing his arms.
Everyone went silent as Evie's front door got knocked on, Evie glanced at Harry and took off her apron, tossing it onto the counter and walking over to her door, slowly opening it and peeking around the door.
"oh! You must be (y/n)! Harry told us about you!"
"r-really? He did?" the teen muttered, gasping as Evie grabbed their wrist and dragged them in.
"yep! Now! Are you hungry?" Evie pushed them into the living room that doubled as a dining room that connected to the kitchen, (y/n) stared at all the vks, locking eyes with Harry.
"i-yes?"
"Great! I'll make you up a plate and you get acquainted with everyone!"
Evie clapped her hands and skipped back into the kitchen, giggling with Mal as (y/n) just stood awkwardly where Evie left her.
"yeh kept yer promise" Harry smiled, standing up and walking over to (y/n), putting his hands on his hips and leaning towards (y/n)
"uhh yep" (y/n) chuckled, rubbing their arm nervously "Im here?"
Harry chuckled at their awkwardness and grabbed their shoulder, shoving them into the middle of the room, in view of everyone "(y/n) this is everyone, everyone this is (y/n), they have saved my ass twice now"
"hi" (y/n) waved awkwardly, a small grin on their face. Uma stood from her seat at the island and walked over to (y/n), slowly circling her like a vulture. "ummm hi?"
Uma hummed, standing in front of (y/n), her eyes dark and revealing nothing....then she smiled, reaching out and patting (y/n)s shoulder "nice to meet you (y/n)"
(y/n) gave a small smile, "nice to meet you too....Uma? right?"
Uma nodded and nodded her head back at the island near the kitchen, where Evie was setting (y/n)s plate full of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. "yep that's me, and your foods ready"
(y/n) slowly walked over to their food, taking off their bag that was slung over their shoulder and setting it on the floor, hesitantly starting to eat the food Evie had given them.
Almost comically, their eyes widened and they started to scarf down the breakfast. Evie giggled and tapped on the counter, grabbing (y/n)s attention "apple or orange juice?"
"apple please" (y/n) spoke with a mouth full of food, blushing as Evie giggled once more and walked over to the fridge, grabbing the bottle.
She poured the drink and set it in front of (y/n) who gently took the cup and started to drink, turning towards the tv as it went back to the Sanderson sister's arrest.
*they will be stripped of their magic and be sent to the new high-security prison implemented on the isle of the doomed.*
"how many kids did yeh save (y/n)?" Harry asked, turning to look at the teen witch. (y/n) swallowed her mouthful of bacon and shrugged.
"around 20, including you and those two kids, my aunts and mom didn't get far before the Auradon guard was called on 'em"
"hm" Uma nodded in approval, smirking at harry "good job"
Harry smirked back, standing and sitting next to (y/n), watching as Dizzy changed the channel to Sunday cartoons
"so do yeh think you'll stick around?" Harry whispered, (y/n) turned to him, and smiled.
"yeah I think I will" they whispered back, leaning back in their chair and watching the show "Powerpuff girls" as it played.
Harry smiled, happy to have finally repaid his debt to the witch who had saved him all those years ago.
And it was going to be fun to tease them since they went all dark whenever he simply looked at them.
