A unique way to develop their friendship could be through music. Imagine Harry and Gil discover a love for a certain type of Auradon music. They start a band together or just jam out in their free time. This shared interest in music could deepen their bond as they explore different melodies and lyrics. It also gives them a chance to express themselves in a new way, different from their usual Isle of the Lost behavior.
One interesting approach would be to have them volunteer in Auradon. They could be helping out at an animal shelter or a community garden. Through this volunteer work, they learn about kindness and responsibility in a new way. They also meet new people who initially judge them based on their Isle of the Lost origins but then come to respect them. This experience of growing together in a positive environment would enhance their friendship in a very unique way.
Their relationship could be developed through shared challenges. For instance, if they are both tasked with protecting a valuable item from being stolen by a new villain on the Isle. Working together to keep it safe would make them rely on each other more and strengthen their bond.
For Harry, you could explore his family background more deeply. Maybe he discovers some long - lost relative on the Isle who has a different view on life, which makes Harry question his own actions and values. For Gil, he could be developed by having him learn a new skill, like fishing in a more sophisticated way, which could also give him more confidence.
One idea could be that Harry and Gil get into some sort of misadventure in Auradon. Maybe they accidentally stumble upon a hidden part of the school and have to figure out how to get out while also not getting in trouble. Another idea is that they meet a new character who challenges their friendship in some way, like trying to split them up because they think one is a bad influence on the other.
Imagine Percy and Annabeth get sent on a diplomatic mission to another demigod camp. They have to work together to convince the other camp to form an alliance. Along the way, they face many challenges, not just from the other camp but also from within themselves as they have different ideas on how to approach the situation. Through this experience, they learn to communicate better, trust each other more, and their friendship reaches a new level.
One idea could be that Harry and Gil go on a treasure hunt that was hinted at in Descendants 2 but never fully explored. They could encounter new magical creatures and face challenges together, strengthening their bond as friends.
You can try fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3). It has a large collection of fanfictions from various fandoms, including Descendants. Just use the search bar and type in 'descendants 2 Gil and Harry' to find relevant stories.
Their relationships could be developed uniquely by having them participate in a magical tournament that's not like the Triwizard Tournament. They are on different teams but have to cooperate secretly to overcome some corrupt judges. Draco might start to see Harry and Hermione in a new light as they work together to expose the wrongdoings. This shared experience outside of the normal Hogwarts rivalries can bring them closer.
Another approach is to focus on their emotional growth. Harry, who has lost so many people, could be hesitant to open up to Daphne at first. But as he does, he discovers new aspects of his own emotions. Daphne, who might seem cold on the surface, could be shown to have a deep well of emotions. As they interact, they both learn to be more in touch with their feelings. This would make their relationship more complex and their characters more three - dimensional.
The relationship could develop uniquely if Fem Harry Potter uses her empathy skills. Since she is different from the original Harry, she might be more in tune with Bellatrix's pain and past traumas. For example, if she discovers that Bellatrix was once a victim of dark magic herself which led her to become a Death Eater, Fem Harry Potter could try to heal her. This would create a very different dynamic compared to the usual enmity between Harry and Bellatrix.
In most Harry and Gil descendants fanfiction, Harry and Gil are the central figures. Harry, with his signature hook and wild hair, often leads the way in their adventures. Gil, on the other hand, is always there by his side, providing support with his strength and good - natured personality. There may also be other characters from the Descendants universe that interact with them, like Mal, Evie, and Jay, but Harry and Gil are the main focus.
