And in true happily-ever-after fashion, we partied into the night.
'Cause every good story ends in a dance party, right?
——————
Before Harry knew it, everybody was splashing water on him and rolling with laughter.

Music began to play, and a feverish merriment broke out on the deck. Drenched, and with water flying, people twirled and boogied. Justin break-danced in the center of the deck, then hopped up and danced with Jade. Camila and Michael took the floor, followed by Calum and Liam, and then Cole and Harry.

Everyone crowded them, cheering and splashing them with water. Above, the stars twinkled magically.

Cole and Harry:

Looking back at yesterday
I thought I gave it everything
But still there's so much road ahead of me
When I looked into your eyes
I guess I didn't recognize
Who we are and all that we can be

Sometimes it's hard to find yourself
But it's worth it in the end
'Cause in your heart is where it all begins

All and Harry:

We gotta be bold
We gotta be brave
We gotta be free
We gotta get loud
Making that change
You gotta believe (woah)
We'll look deep inside
And we'll rise up and shine
We can be bold
We can be brave
Let everyone see
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me

Calum and Justin, Harry and Michael:

There's something special that I've learned
It's together we can change the world
Everybody's got something that they can bring
When you take a look inside yourself
Do you wish that you were something else?
But who you are is who you need to be

Harry and Calum:

Sometimes it's hard to find yourself
But it's worth it in the end
'Cause in your heart is where it all begins

All and Harry:

We gotta be bold
We gotta be brave
We gotta be free
We gotta get loud
Making that change
You gotta believe (woah)
We'll look deep inside
And we'll rise up and shine
We can be bold
We can be brave
Let everyone see
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me

Harry had learned in his heart that he was bold, he was brave, and he believed. He was done hiding. He had looked inside, and he was going to be himself from now on: part Isle, part Auradon. He thought about The Man's Manners and laughed. That was another book he'd be happy not to open again.

All, Harry and Calum:

If we all can do our part
We know that it can be the start
To bring about the difference that we need (yeah)
I promise we can work this out
I promise we can see it through
Don't you know it's up to me
It's up to me and you?

All and Harry:

We gotta be bold
We gotta be brave
We gotta be free
We gotta get loud
Making that change
You gotta believe (woah)
We'll look deep inside
And we'll rise up and shine
We can be bold
We can be brave
Let everyone see
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me (woah, woah, hey)
It starts with you and me

Harry and Cole embraced. Then he slipped the beast-head ring onto his finger. They were ready to face their future—together. They climbed to the top of the staircase overlooking the deck. Fireworks burst overhead. It truly was a happy ending. He turned to face his friends, and he and Cole waved to them.

Harry was man of the court. He was perfect the way he was. Everyone knew it.

And most importantly, so did Harry.
