Kurt walked down to the Great Hall the next morning with Santana. He was looking forward to the day knowing he would be spending it with Blaine. He felt extremely nervous though. Kurt wasn't sure how to start talking to the other boy at all. He glanced at Santana, deciding against asking her for advice. Knowing Santana, she would probably say something along the lines of greeting Blaine with a blowjob. Sometimes he wished he had friends that took his feelings for Blaine seriously.

When they arrived in the Great Hall both Slytherins took a seat at their house table. Kurt's eyes were scanning the hall for Blaine while Santana began to eat a piece of toast for breakfast.

"The hobbit's not here yet," Santana huffed. "Now stop looking like an idiot and eat something. God knows we'll need our strength to deal with Berry and the others in our pod."

As if it were on cue, a girl with long brunette hair dressed in Gryffindor robes came over to the Slytherin table. She sat down across from Santana and Kurt. "I thought I would take this time to introduce myself before our lessons start," the girl said with a smile. "I'm Rachel Berry."

Kurt had only met Rachel on two occasions. Both were during the summer when Finn invited her over to the house. Kurt thought Rachel was a chatterbox. All she seemed to do was talk. She also seemed a bit selfish. Kurt actually thought she was Slytherin material and wondered how she ended up in Gryffindor.

"That's nice," Santana said. "Now go back with the rest of your hobbit house. We're trying to eat and enjoy our last moments of peace."

"You know, it's an attitude like that that's the reason why our houses aren't united. Did you know that with a little house unity half the problems we have wouldn't even be around?" Rachel said as she gave Santana a hard look. She then turned to Kurt. "Kurt, I know you'll understand. You are Finn's stepbrother after all, and he's in a different house."

"Yes, but-" Kurt began before he was cut off by Rachel.

"I was thinking that to help with house unity we should form a glee club. I know there hasn't been a choir since Professor Flitwick retired two years ago, but maybe we could form another one. It would be a great way to members from all the houses together to share a common bond: music." Rachel gushed.

"You have fun with that," Santana said as she rolled her eyes. "It'll make you even more of dork. Nobody's going to join on his or her own freewill. The only reason we had a choir when Flitwick was around is because he made people join."

"You'll help me, won't you, Kurt?" Rachel asked ignoring Santana. "Finn says you like to sing. Right now, it's only me and a couple other Gryffindors. We could really use your help."

Kurt didn't know what to say. If he said yes, he would never hear the end of if from Santana. But Rachel had a good idea. A glee club would help with the house unity, and Kurt did like to sing. He opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off again by Rachel.

"Great! I'm going to meet with McGonagall after classes today and give her the idea. Thanks, Kurt!" Rachel grinned before getting up and returning to the Gryffindor table.

"What was that?" Santana asked looking surprised. "Is she mentally impaired?"

"She seemed….overly excited," Kurt said. "But she seems nice, I suppose. I don't really know her very well."

"She's going to be so annoying. It will be a miracle if I don't jinx her by the end of the day."

Sebastian came into the hall and sat down where Rachel was sitting moments before. He yawned and poured himself some orange juice. "So I saw that a certain Gryffindor is in your pod," he said looking at Kurt. "I bet you are just…thrilled."

"Mind your own business," Kurt said with a glare. "At least he's not stuck with you."

"Oh but you see, if he was in my pod, I would show him what a good time was. And what are you going to do? Be too shy to say anything to him? It's pathetic."

"Shut up, Sebastian," Kurt growled as Professor Slughorn came over to give them their schedules.

"Not fighting on your first day are you, boys?" Slughorn asked as he looked between Sebastian and Kurt.

"No, professor, of course not," Sebastian said with a smile. "Kurt and I had a disagreement, that's all."

Slughorn just nodded and continued along the table, handing out schedules to the other Slytherins.

"Oh will you look at that. Pods 1 and 3 have Transfiguration and Potions together today. Looks like I'll be able to make a move on Blaine after all." Sebastian smirked as he gathered his bag up and left the Great Hall.

Kurt growled in frustration. "I hate him sometimes," he sighed.

Santana sighed. "Come on, let's get to Charms before Shuester kills us for being late on the first day."

Will Shuester was the newest hire to the Hogwarts faculty. He was a nice enough, but his lessons were just as bad as Professor Binns' History of Magic class. When Kurt and Santana entered the room, they found Shuester using his wand to magically write the lesson on the blackboard. When he finished he turned and looked at his class. They were all sitting with their own houses.

"No, no, this isn't want we want," he said. "Sit with your pods, not with your houses."

There was a groan as the students stood and fixed their seating arrangements. Pod 6 sat on one side of the room while Pod 1 sat on the other. Even though they were sitting with their pods, Kurt noticed everyone was sitting with someone from their own house. He looked around at his own pod. He and Santana were sitting together. Rachel and Blaine were sitting behind them. Behind them Brittany and Wesley were sitting together.

"Well, that's good for now," Shuester sighed. "But don't get too comfortable, I'll be pairing you up so that you have a partner to work with throughout the year."

There was another groan as Shuester began to pair off members of Pod 6. He then made his way over to Pod 1 when he finished. He looked down at his list of students. "Okay, so we have Santana and Brittany, Kurt and Blaine, and Rachel and Wesley."

The students moved around again so that they were sitting with their new partners. Kurt could feel his heart hammering away in his chest as Blaine sat down next to him. He quickly looked down at his charms book as Shuester began the lesson. Kurt couldn't focus of course, not with Blaine sitting next to him. As Shuester went on through the lesson, Kurt stole little glances over at Blaine. Blaine looked like he was actually paying attention. He was copying what Shuester had on the board onto his parchment. Kurt noticed the neat handwriting Blaine produced. Just then Blaine looked up from his parchment. He caught Kurt's gaze and smiled a little before turning back to his notes. Kurt felt everything in him freeze. Blaine Anderson caught him starring. Blaine Anderson just smiled at him.

The bell began to ring and Kurt was brought out of his stunned state to find Blaine looking at him. "You're Kurt Hummel, Finn's stepbrother, right?" Blaine asked.

"Uh-y-yea," Kurt stuttered. "That's me."

Blaine smiled and held out his hand. "Blaine Anderson. It's nice to meet you."

Kurt took Blaine's hand; noting the soft, gentle texture of them. "It's nice to meet you too."

"You know for a Slytherin, you're awfully nice."

Kurt blushed slightly. "Uh, well, we're not all bad."

"I'm glad," Blaine said softly with a grin. "I would hate to have a partner for Charms who was mean and rude."

"Blaine, are you coming?" Wesley called from the doorway of the classroom.

"Coming," Blaine confirmed. "I'll see you in Transfiguration." He then turned and left with Wesley.

"Are you just going to stand there and drool or are you going to enjoy your free period?" Santana asked as she crossed her arms impatiently. Kurt walked over to her and led the way out of the classroom. "So you were chatting up Anderson," Santana began.

"He just introduced himself, nothing else," Kurt said rolling his eyes at his friend.

"It's a start," Santana said. "But if you want to beat Sebastian, you need to move faster."

"I don't even know if he's gay yet!"

"He is," Sebastian chimed in as he came up behind the two of them. "There is no way a boy like that is straight."

Kurt rolled his eyes again. "You don't know that," he sighed.

"Oh, I know," Sebastian smirked. "I can't wait for Transfiguration this afternoon. I'm going to introduce myself to Blaine and see if he'll want to go on a date with me."

"Good luck with that," Kurt snorted.

"I don't need luck," Sebastian said, ruffling Kurt's hair. "See you two later."

"You know, if you want that boy, you better move quickly," Santana pointed out again. "Because you know how Sebastian works." Santana sighed. "I know you really like him, and as your friend, I don't want to see you get hurt."

Kurt nodded as he attempted to fix his hair. "Thanks 'Tana," he softly said. He frowned and headed to the common room without Santana. Once there he sat down one of the black, leather couches near the fireplace. Kurt sighed and rubbed his eyes. How was he going to beat Sebastian? Sebastian was sexy, smooth, and extremely cunning. Sebastian had a way of getting whatever he wanted. Kurt on the other hand wasn't any of those things. He was as sexy as a baby penguin. He wasn't smooth and he wasn't as cunning as Sebastian so he didn't get whatever he wanted.

So just be yourself. Be everything Sebastian isn't, Kurt thought. He suddenly found himself smiling. For some reason, he didn't think Blaine would appreciate someone trying to get into his pants.

X-X-X-X

"Hi, I'm Sebastian Smythe."

Kurt looked to the front of the classroom as he entered. He saw Sebastian standing in front of Blaine with a smirk on his face.

"Blaine Anderson," Blaine introduced with a friendly smile. "You know, you're the second Slytherin I've talked to today."

"Oh really?" Sebastian tried to look surprised as he glanced over at Kurt before sitting down next to Blaine at the desk. "Well I'm probably the nicer one." He laughed.

Kurt glared as he sat with Santana two rows behind Blaine. "I'm never speaking to him again," he muttered to his best friend.

"Oh please, you two will be talking again by dinner," Santana snapped sarcastically. "Besides…maybe you should watch Sebastian. Spy on him. See what he does and do it better than him." She winked at Kurt before getting her books out for class.

"So you're the seeker on the Gryffindor team?" Came Sebastian's voice again.

"Yea. Aren't you the new captain for the Slytherin team?" Blaine asked sounding really interested.

"I am and their star chaser," Sebastian said with a smile. "Makes us enemies doesn't it?"

"Not necessarily," Blaine answered. "I'm friends with members of the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teams and we get along great. Doesn't mean we can't be friends."

"Friends, yes. Maybe more?" Sebastian smirked as his eyes trailed up and down Blaine's body.

"He's bold, very bold," Kurt whispered to Santana as he saw a blush creep across Blaine's cheeks.

"Sit with your pods, please," Professor McGonagall said as she came into the room. Even though she was headmistress, McGonagall still insisted on teaching the sixth and seventh year classes at the very least. "You too, Smythe," she said glaring at the Slytherin. Sebastian stood and went to the other side of the room with the rest of his pod. Wesley took Sebastian's place next to Blaine.

"Welcome to sixth year Transfiguration," McGonagall greeted the class. She began to go over what they would be covering during the year and the workload that would be expected from each one of them. Kurt found himself daydreaming again. He didn't hear a word of what McGonagall said. He mind was focused on Blaine and what it would be like to kiss those perfect lips.

"You're dismissed," McGonagall said to the class, bringing Kurt out of his daydream.

"So Blaine, do you want to walk to potions together?" Sebastian asked as he walked over to Blaine.

Kurt watched, biting his lip, hoping Blaine would say no.

"I'm going to walk down with my friends, but thanks for the offer." He smiled at Sebastian and quickly left the room with Rachel and Wesley.

"Well, that went well," Kurt said with a smirk to Sebastian.

"I'm just getting started," Sebastian said, glaring at Kurt before walking out of the classroom.

X-X-X-X

Kurt had somehow made it to Potions before Sebastian. He liked to blame this on his knowledge of shortcuts and secret passageways throughout the school. When he got to the dungeon classroom, Kurt found Blaine sitting at the back of the room alone.

"Anyone sitting here?" Kurt asked softly as he came up to the table.

"Not at all," Blaine responded with a smile.

"I see you met Sebastian," Kurt said as he watched Sebastian enter the classroom, glare at Kurt, then go to sit by himself.

"Yea, he seems….nice."

Kurt laughed at the tone of Blaine's voice. He could tell that Sebastian made him uncomfortable. "Yea, he can be rather forward when he wants to be, but I suppose he can be nice when he wants to be as well."

Blaine nodded in agreement. He was just about to say something when Slughorn came into the classroom and began the lesson for the day. They were so busy working on their potions that they didn't even have time to talk. When their time was up, everyone began to scramble to pack up, all eager to get to dinner.

"Come on, Blaine, we have to meet with McGonagall in five minutes," Rachel said as she tried to hurry Blaine along.

Blaine looked at Kurt. "I'll see you later?"

Kurt nodded and watched Blaine leave with Rachel. So Blaine's going to be in glee club, Kurt thought. He knew what he had to do now.
