"Pixies!" Mercedes exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air with a huff of annoyance. "They had Pixies in the other room!"
Tina stood beside her, trying to flatten her once smooth and straight, now frazzled hair. The look of frustration that crossed her face caused Kurt to gather the offender were the pixies themselves. "Cornish Pixies...actually." Tina corrected quietly, ignoring the narrowed eyed look the girl beside her gave in return.
"Whatever." Mercedes mumbled, her gaze slowly climbing up the stairs to land on Kurt once more. "Who keeps Cornish Pixies behind a Silenced barrier anyways?" she asked, giving the dark headed boy who stepped down a step to stand next to Kurt a confused look.
"Maybe it's a British thing?" Tina said, looking at the unknown boy expectantly. She watched as Kurt's head turned towards the strangers, an odd smile spreading across her friend's lips.
"No, it's not necessary a British thing, it's..." Blaine trailed off, reaching up to run his fingers through his curls. His eyes found Kurt's again and he caught himself wishing he had washed up and combed his hair a bit better earlier, the half attempt at decency not even comparing to how stunning and immaculate Kurt looked at the moment. "Well it's more of a Luna thing than anything else, you see she's-"
"Say no more." Kurt said, cutting Blaine off as both girl's on the ground floor groaned softly. "We should have known, it is her house after all." he said with a shake of his head. When Blaine gave him a curious look he couldn't help but smile yet again. "She's my aunt."
Blaine's eyes widened as realization finally clicked into place. "That's right!" he said happily, thankful he had always seemed to listen more than his other siblings and cousins when their parents spoke. "My father told me Luna's nephew would be coming, but you..."
"I look nothing like her." Kurt finished for the other boy, looking away when the other aimed a bright smile in his direction. "I look more like my mother, or so thats what everyone tells me." he said with a little shrug of his shoulders, not finding the need to explain that 'everyone' only included his father and Luna herself. The rest of his family on his father's side never spoke about her, saying she had never bothered to introduce herself to them before she had passed.
Blaine was oblivious to the other two girls staring at him as he himself stared at Kurt's turned face, admiring the high cheekbone the other possessed once again. Licking his lips quickly he opened his mouth to say something when he heard his sister's voice echoing around the sitting room as the large group of teenagers walked in. He noticed how wary his older brother looked, frowning once he saw the wand in his hand resting at his side. "Alright there, James?" he asked, relaxing slightly when the other nodded slightly in return.
"Are you okay, Mike?" Kurt asked his older friend, eyes wide as they landed on the long, dark wooded wand clutched in his friend's hand. Though Mike was legally allowed to use magic outside of school now he hardly ever did, especially with Tina around since it seemed to annoy her.
"Yeah." Mike said, glancing towards the other boy who he had confronted earlier. "Misunderstanding...I think." he said quietly, still not pocketing his wand as he and the other still looked at one-another warily.
"I'm so sorry about my brother again." Lily said, ignoring the soft grumble her brother gave. "He really is a blundering idiot at times, don't let him give you the wrong impression."
"I agree." Rose spoke up from beside Hugo who had remained silent through the whole exchange. "Why he thought pulling his wand out on you was a good thing..." she trailed off when James sent her glare.
"He drew his wand first, I was only doing the right thing in pulling my own out to protect all of you!" James exclaimed, giving one last look in Mike's direction before stuffing his wand back into the front pocket of his jeans.
"Yes, so brave of you when his wand was clearly pointed at the pixies above the other girl's heads." Albus pointed out, ignoring the huff indignation James gave.
Blaine sighed, smiling slightly when Kurt glanced at him. "This is my family." he began, pointing to James first. "James, the dunder head." he said, moving his finger to Albus and Lily. "My other brother Albus, and my little sister Lily." he then waved his hand towards his cousins. "That's Rose and Hugo, our cousins."
Kurt looked at each one of them, noticing none of Blaine's actual siblings had curly hair or the bright colored eyes he possessed. "Hi." he said simply. "I'm Kurt, and this is-"
"Mercedes Jones." Mercedes spoke up, winking in Kurt's direction when he rose an eyebrow in her direction. "This is Tina, and her boyfriend Mike." she said, deciding to 'casually' throw in the last bit of information when she noticed Lily staring at the taller Asian by her side.
"Shouldn't Luna be here by now?" Mike asked quietly, his arm snaking around Tina's waist as he waited for an answer, his wand long ago pocketed after the other boy had done so. He planted a kiss on her forehead, oblivious to the small pout Lily gave in return.
"You know how she is..." Tina said, smiling when Mercedes snorted.
"Well when she gets her she has a bit of explaining to do, why didn't she tell us before we flooed over?" Mercedes asked, crossing her arms over her chest when James laughed along with Hugo.
Kurt glanced towards the entrance of the kitchen when green light flared up against the living room wall. He smiled towards his aunt when she entered, dusting her jeans and sweater off while she aimed a small smile in his direction.
"I trust everyone found their way, then?" Luna asked with a tilt of her head, eyes roaming over the newest additions to her house for a moment before they returned to her nephew.
"Yeah, some way." Mercedes said, her own gaze finally leaving Kurt's pink colored cheeks to look at their supposed 'care taker'. "Care to explain why you didn't mention the room with no way out, crawling with Pixies?"
"Corn-"
"Whatever." Mercedes snapped, effectively cutting off Tina's correction.
Luna only blinked in return, but something in Kurt's gut told him the woman knew exactly what his best friend was talking about. He watched as her small hand slowly rose to push a long strand of white blond hair behind her shoulder, the other people in the room or as in Kurt and Blaine's case, on the stairs, silent as they waited for the pale woman to explain.
Suddenly Luna's face lit up with 'recognition' and a happy smile stretched across her lips. "Oh yes, I remember now!" she said cheerfully, glancing towards her nephew once more before looking at the rest of them. "Did you meet Ralph as well?"
"Ralph?" Kurt asked before anyone else could, slowly stepping down the stairs to stand next to Mercedes and Tina. He heard the wood creak once more and glanced up in time to see Blaine stepping off the last step, walking over to stand next to his own family. When their eyes met again Kurt couldn't help but smile.
"The boggart." Rose said with a roll of her eyes. "She named him Ralph."
"Of all the names you pick that one to name a boggart?" Tina asked, looking at Luna with an amused expression.
"That's what you're worry about, the name?" Mercedes asked with raised eyebrows. "That's just crazy, she shouldn't just keep one of those around." she said, shaking her head in disbelief when Luna only shook her head sadly. "Don't you think so, Kurt?"
Kurt licked his bottom lip when Mercedes' chocolate colored eyed turned on him once more, sighing before he answered. "Well, as long as it's not hurting anything, I don't see why-"
"Then you understand how cruel people act towards them?" Luna interrupted, slowly taking Kurt's hands between her small ones as she looked up into Kurt's face with a hopeful look on her own.
Kurt felt the back of his neck grow hot when every pair of eyes seemed to look at him all at once. "Well...I wouldn't...I mean..." Suddenly another flare of green light shone on the wall opposite of the kitchen's entrance, gaining Luna's attention. Kurt sighed slightly in relief, eyes widening as he watched a dark haired man enter the room, the sound of the fireplace swooshing and flashes of green light continuing to fill the kitchen.
"I thought you were staying with Mollie and Ronda for a while longer..?" Luna asked, frowning when she heard loud arguing from the kitchen.
"When she heard...well how could we keep her from actually coming and seeing?" Harry asked once he had looked over his children's faces.
"It's summer, they haven't been-"
"Ronda told Mollie of our plans a few weeks back." Harry said quickly, his eyes finally landing on Elizabeth's son. Opening his mouth he quickly shut it, knowing how frustrating the phrase he was just about to say was. When Ginny walked in, his efforts were completely wasted.
Ginny stood beside Harry a few moments after walking out of the fire place, the tall, blue eyed boy had instantly caught her attention. Lips parting slightly in awe she said the first thing that came to her mind as she looked over the rest of his body, including his chestnut colored hair and thin waist. "You have her eyes." she whispered softly.
Kurt blinked, watching the newcomers with open curiosity. It took him a few seconds to get what the other was saying, smiling when realization finally fell over his thoughts. "You knew my mother?" he asked, a small bubble of excitement expanding in his stomach when the the redheaded woman nodded.
Even though he had lost his mother at a young age and hardly even knew her, he was still excited to learn about her. Whenever he would ask his father he would tell him little things and sometimes...well sometimes he seemed to want to tell him more but then he would just trail off and stare into space. Kurt figured that maybe it was just too hard to talk about her and hardly pushed after that happened. "Were you friends?" he asked, brow furrowing when the woman frowned.
"Something like that, I suppose." Ginny said quietly, sighing when the woman she had been arguing with for the previous hour entered the sitting room. Of course Elizabeth wasn't exactly herself with the Polyjuice potion she had been drinking, along with Mary. They had gained hairs from people and wouldn't elaborate on how.
Now Elizabeth went by the name Mollie Dewhurst and had black curly hair and brown eyes. Her skin was darker, much like Mary's had been, close to what Blaine's was actually. The complete opposite of herself, all so she could actually venture out into the public without causing a stir, or being chased down.
Mary, like Elizabeth, also looked completely different with her pale skin and light blue eyes. Wavy blond hair and height had also been added and with it came the decision to call herself Ronda Alden. She had been teaching alongside Elizabeth for eight years now, silently watching over Blaine as he grew throughout his years at Hogwarts.
Kurt wasn't sure why he seemed to be the center of attention again, but he did his best to smile, even if it did feel a bit forced and awkward. "Luna...who are these people?" he asked when he noticed his Aunt seemed to be staring dreamily into place instead of introducing them.
"Well Kurt, these are some of your professors." Luna began, waving a hand in their direction. "Harry serves as the Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor, and that's his lovely wife who works at the Ministry." she said, continuing when Harry had shaken all three of the teen's hands.
"Mollie Dewhurst who is in charge of Charms, and Ronda Alden who is the Potions Mistress." Luna finished, watching as her sister carefully inched closer to her son.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Mike said politely, nodding slightly as he did so. Tina said the same along with Mercedes, but Kurt noticed the other two staring intently on the first man that was introduced, Harry was it?
"Same here." Kurt said, surprised when the dark haired woman stepped up to him. She held out her hand, a bit eager in his opinion, a smile on her lips. "Hi." he said, slowly taking the woman's hand in his. He looked into her face, something about the way she stared um-nerveing him slightly.
"Hello, Kurt." Elizabeth said quietly, smiling at her son when he hesitantly smiled in return.
"Yes, Well." Ginny said, gently patting 'Mollie's' arm in attempt to gain her attention. She couldn't imagine how hard it must be, but after all these years they couldn't afford any mess ups. "Ron and Hermione will be here soon, we should all wash up for dinner after we get the new three settled in."
Suddenly loud noise filled the once awkward silence as James and Lily made a huge commotion of who would carry the new comer's luggage, the other three claiming they were perfectly fine managing on their own. Elizabeth could only watch as her son chatted and laughed with his friends, and of course Blaine who was making sure his presence was known. Kurt didn't seem to mind, in fact every time they glanced at one-another at the same time a light dust of pink would cover his cheeks.
Perhaps she had been lucky with Kurt staying in the states as he grew, unlike Mary who had suffered by only being there for her son in the dark and as a Professor. Never more or less, something she had seen her friend weep and stress over days on end. Though she had missed her son, she hadn't had to go through what the other woman had.
Now she would have to since Burt had seemed to finally allow their son to transfer. Would she fall apart or screw up in some horrible way? Would her son hate her if she told him the truth,or would he actually accept what she had done to keep him and his father safe?
A hand suddenly squeezed her's and she glanced towards Mary, and even though she didn't look like the woman she had been friends with for so many years, she could still 'feel' that it was her. A talent in which Mary had called out and teased her on, but it had saved both of them before in the past. She smiled slightly when another squeeze was given to her hand, a clam she couldn't explain rolling over her limbs and thoughts.
'I'm here' it seemed to say. 'I'll be here for you like you've been for me, I promise'
