Klaine Advent 2015 Day 7, "Guide"

Evening star shines brightly, God makes life anew
Tomorrow is a latter day, and I am here for you
I am here for you, too
We are here, for us

I Am Here For You - Book of Mormon

Still 2011

Kurt Hummel likes Hogwarts.

Its nothing like Watford, and its headmistress is present at the school, opposed to the Mage.

The competition isnt that bad. Its just a couple of students showing off their spells. Kurts favourite is still Have a break, hake a Kit-Kat or U cant touch this. The so-called pureblood wizards dont know the song, so Watford students have been using it to prank them.

Not that Kurt would ever prank Blaine.

Despite the fact that Blaine is very busy with dropping random things in that cauldron, hes listening actively. He even asks questions now and then about the wars.

Officially, theres only one war: the one versus the Humdrum, but everyone knows about the upcoming civil war.

"Scourgify!" Blaine says as he finishes brewing. It mustve been a cleaning spell, because everything is neat. Blaine asks Kurt to hand him a flask.

"What exactly did you just make?" Kurt asks. Blaine shrugs. "I always try stuff out," he answers as he fills the flask, "I will have to inspect it with the help of Professor Slughorn. He likes me." He drops the flask in his satchel. "Although I must admit that Id love to make Felix Felicis, but thats a very difficult one. Its liquid luck."

"Simon Snow might need that when he faces the Humdrum," Kurt says, "Oh, and Clean as a whistle!" Blaine seems thankful. He quickly scribbles down a note for Professor Slughorn, using a quill (which Kurt thinks its weird. Why cant they just use a pen?) before leaving.

"Your spells are fascinating," he tells Kurt. Blaine then guides Kurt to the Great Hall. Hogwarts is huge (even bigger than Watford) and very complicated (even more worse that Watford). The staircases keep moving. It doesnt bother Blaine at all, but Kurt yelps every time the staircase decides to go the other way.

"How do you ever find your way around here?" Blaine then explains the concept of special maps of the castle, created by George Weasley for his joke shop. "But after a while, you get the hang of it!"

"I am lucky enough to have a guide," Kurt mutters.

At the Great Hall, Blaine leaves him. He mumbles something about a sport that sounds a lot like Kwidditsch. Kurt regrets that he didnt persuade his friends from Watford to join him.

Kurt awkwardly sits down with the other Watford students and watches the Watford football team demonstrate a few tricks. He wonders if his stepbrother is around. Finns magic, just like his mom. Kurts dad is magick. Kurt knows Finn goes to Hogwarts, but he hasnt seen him yet.

Then, out of nowhere, a flock of people on brooms enter the Great Hall. Wearing a red and gold outfit, Finns on one of them. After Finn flies a smiling Blaine. Hes wearing yellow and black.

"The sport of wizards and witches," a woman, known as Madam Hooch yells loudly, and all the Hogwarts students start applauding.

This is even better than football.

Miss Possibelf is in awe. The Mage doesnt look up, but then again, he never does.

Blaine introduces him to his friends (and he tries introducing him to Finn, but Finn and Kurt just laugh it off). Hes so at ease with them. They keep asking about his potions. Blaine keeps talking to this girl about theatre, and Kurt happily joins them.

Kurt knows his teachers expect him to hang out with the other Watford students, but Blaines group of friends is very inviting.

The day passes quickly. The Watford students sleep in the Great Hall. Everyones buzzing with excitement, but theyre also ready to go back to London.

Out of the corner of his eye, Kurt can see Snow, Bunce and Wellbelove whisper to each other. The three of them are always together. Theyre probably plotting.

They wake up early, cause the castle needs the Great Hall for breakfast. All houses are devided, and Kurt decides to join Blaine at the Hufflepuff one.

Really, why do they need houses?

The food here is magic. Or, Kurt thinks it is. Hogwarts is more luxurious thatn Watford. Back in Watford, students need to help cleaning and cooking. Here, food is provided from god knows where.

"Crowley, this food is delicious," he says.

Afterwards, the Watford students are ready to leave. The Mage has used A little bird told me to inform the Coven that theyre returning. He hands his stuff to Miss Possibelf.

Then he hears a whisper.

"Kurt," Blaine whispers. Kurt turns around and Blaine walks away. Kurt assumes he wants him to follow Blaine.

"Blaine,," he rushes as after, "Where are we-"

"Its been a pleasure hanging out with you," Blaine cuts him off, "Its been nice being your guide, but before you go, I must show you one thing." And its a long trip. Kurt thinks theyre on the top floor.

They arrive at a corridor, and Blaine starts pacing. Kurts about to ask him what hes doing when a door arrives. Blaine gestures to Kurt to go in and-

Holy shit.

It feels like the room was especially for him. "Do you like it?" Blaine asks.

"What is this place?"

And so, Blaine explains. Kurt cant believe it. He knows that there are a lot of hidden places at Watford, but they all mean nothing compared to this.

"We have at least two more hours before you have to leave, so I thought youd like to hang around," Blaine suggests.

And Kurt wants that.

The two of them have the time of their lives.

Just before Kurt has to leave, Blaine hands him a small flask with purple liquid in it. "Uh, I heard that Simon Snow tends to... blow up," he mumbles as he pushes the flask in Kurts hands, "So I made you this. Its Fire Protection Potion."

Kurt doesnt know what to say. He can hear people calling all Watford students, telling them its time to leave. But Kurt doesnt want to.

How can he go back to Watford without Blaine to guide him?
