*they soon arrive outside a classroom and they stop*
Flora: here we are
Fauna: we'll just go talk to the teacher a second
Ben: thank you
*the fairies pop in, have a word with the teacher and come back out again*
Merryweather: come to the main office when you are ready to go to a different classroom they will sort you out
Ben: thank you again
*the fairies walk away, since magic was supposed to be used as little as possible they had retaken human form, if it wasn't for his relationship with Mal she'd be in trouble for her such regular use of magic, Ben feels Mal clutching tighter to his hand again, knowing how nervous she is he kisses the side of her head*
Teacher: students, may I have your attention please, we have some very special guests so let's give them a big warm welcome
*ben and Mal enter together, holding hands, they smile at the kids, Mal's smile being albeit awkward, all of the kids seem really excited*
Teacher: your highness, my lady, it is an honour to have you join us
Mal: it's an honour to be here
*mal trues to keep her voice steady, her nerves begin to subside*
Kid 1: you're maleficent's daughter aren't you?
Mal: yes, but that's not who I am, she did horrible things and isn't worth thinking about
*she has to steady her voice along with herself, Ben put his arm around her waist to support her seeing she was a little shaken, she hadn't expected to get down this line of questioning so quickly*
Kid 2: but she's your mom
Mal: where I come from family doesn't mean the same thing it does here
*before anyone else can go deeper into it Ben rescues her, cutting the kids off from asking any more questions*
Ben: anyway, so what were you doing?
*they all put their hands up and Ben picks a little girl who seems smaller than the rest of the others, she was sat in the front corner and looks at him really nervously*
Ben: what's your name?
Klara: I..its K...Klara
*mal walks over to this little girl who looks to be about 7 or 8, she kneels down infront of her desk so as to not look so big and menacing and smiles at her*
Mal: so Klara, what you doing
Klara: w...we were l...learning about the v....villains on the I...isle of the l...lost
*Mal feels herself and her voice becoming a bit less steady again*
Mal: which ones?
* her mind began swirling as her way of not focus oh my god on the words she was sure she was about to hear and just hoped she could keep her composure long enough to get through this, the main idea for this whole trip was to win over the you get generation if she truly was to be Ben's queen then she'd need to have the people's respect, best to start young she figured, also she wanted to get used to the little kids of Auradon, get an understanding of what the younger kids in Auradon were like, it would be her job to raise at least one child in the way of Auradon as his queen, the King would need an heir, how all that managed to rush through her head in just seconds was beyond her but she had just managed to force her words out before anyone noticed that she had just completely lost herself in such random thoughts of the future, her fate and her future suddenly looming over her like never before*
Klara: Evil Queen, Captain Hook.....and we were.....just moving on....t......to m.....maleficent
*mal smiles sweetly trying to cover the facts she wants the ground to swallow her up right now, Ben gives her a bit of a concerned look, not quite sure what's about to happen*
Mal: one of the few subjects I'm good at I must say
*all of the class look at her like at any moment she could scream, cry, laugh or all of them Mal and Ben both turned to the teacher as Ben had to fight he urge to go hold onto her as tightly as he could, he knew she needed to do this on her own*
Ben: what exactly are they learning about the villains
*he asks curiously trying not to think about where this was going*
Teacher: other than their story of their background and what happened to them after they were banished to the isle of the lost
Mal: can I?
Teacher of course, my lady
Mal: I have to admit, I never really understood why left the island, anyway when my mother was younger she was good and happy then she fell in love with a man and he betrayed her, or at least she felt like he had, that man was King stefan, aurora's father, she became obsessed with revenge, her heart dark and evil, you see he married aurora's mother and left her alone, bitter and deviated, she vowed to make him pay for what he had done to her and so she did what the stories say she did and was banished for it, she always said they brought her back from the dead to be exiled, she woke up on the island, powerless, human essentially which was a terrible thing in her eyes, then four years later she had me, all she'd ever say about my father was that he was human which was some terrible crime on my part apparently, if I were to disappoint her she'd say I was just like my father, weak, she was evil from the moment she heard of King Stefan's marriage and when four months ago I was chosen along with my friends, Evie, Jay and Carlos to come to Auradon she planned to take over Auradon by getting fairy godmother a wand and using us to get said wand but we realised that evil wasn't who we were just because it was who our parents were and who they'd raised us to be, I feel in love with that fool you see
*she smirks a little and the class all giggle as she gestures towards Ben*
Ben: umm thanks for that
Mal: anytime, anyway my mother did manage to escape when the barrier was accidentally broken by the fairy godmother's daughter, Jane, but we managed to stop her and she shrank to the size of the love in her heart, which apparently is very small, go figure, and was later returned to the isle of the lost where she remains to this day
Teacher: that about covers it, now onto maths
Mal: your turn, they don't do a whole lot of maths one the isle of the lost, I can do enough and I'm not dumb but I was AP evil, I wasn't advanced at much else
*ben walks past her and whispers in her ear*
Ben: good thing you're pretty then
*she whispers back*
Mal: charming aren't you, if you want me to kiss you later you'd better watch your mouth, being a King doesn't mean I have to kiss you
Ben: I love you
Mal: mmhmm
*she gives him a look and then wanders to the back of the classroom to sit in the window sill*
