Hearing screaming after pretty much kicking the door open, Kurt jumps back when Blaine pulls away, wincing in pain when his head smacks against the headboard of the bed. Rubbing the back of his head, Kurt looks up to glare at Rachel, whose face was drained of all colour. God... Hadn't she ever heard of knocking a door before?

"R-Rachel..." Blaine says, his voice quavering as he slides off of Kurt, and stands up off the bed "W-what are you doing here? I-I thought you'd be staying at your parents during the holidays."

"I was going to.. Went skiing, but I can't.." Rachel mumbles, not really looking at Blaine before her head snaps up and she glares over at Kurt, pointing right at him. "And what is he doing here!?"

"Are you always this polite when staying over at someone's house, Berry?" Kurt drawls as he pushes himself up so he was sitting up straight "And for your information, Professor Dumbledore arranged for me and Finn to stay here because it was more practical for whenever we go to the hospital."

"I see..." Rachel says slowly, both looking and sounding more sympathetic, but her eyes were still narrowed when she looked at Kurt "It doesn't explain why you're in my room though."

"Ah, that.. That was Cooper's fault, Rachel," Blaine says, sitting back down on Kurt's bed "We didn't know that you'd be staying, so he thought your room was going to be free, which was why he gave it to Kurt." Blaine bites his lip, and glances over at Kurt for a few moments before diverting his attention back to Rachel "That... And this room is next to mine so..."

"Why is that important, Blaine?" Rachel asks after he mentions the locations of the two rooms, folding her arms and raises an impatient eyebrow at him.

"Is she serious?" Kurt looks over at Blaine incredulously.

"Yeah, I don't.. It's not really something that needs answering, to be honest with you, Rachel," Blaine says sheepishly as he gives her a week smile.

"So, when did this," Rachel indicates between Kurt and Blaine "Happen? And why didn't you tell me, Blaine!?"

"Because this only happened last night, Rachel," Blaine says patiently. "Even if I did write you a letter, you were only going to find out just now. I thought you were still at Hogwarts."

Rachel looks a little dejected for a moment – maybe she was feeling guilty about freaking out at them both, or was it just because that she would've found out like this anyway? For a few moments, she opens her mouth and looks as though she was going to argue, but when she shuts her mouth shut again and frowns, Kurt's eyes widen in shock. He didn't think it was actually possible for Rachel Berry to be rendered speechless.

"Well," Kurt says, deciding to be the one to break the silence. "I'm going to get ready now, so can you both leave? Besides, Blaine, you'll need to show Rachel where she can stay anyways."

"Alright, but I don't think Cooper will be that happy you're getting out of your bedclothes though," Blaine laughs, before standing off the bed.

"No, I need to anyway," Kurt smiles a little up at Blaine "Me and Finn have to go to the hospital soon anyway."

Blaine looks at Kurt with a wry smile, carefully running his hand through Kurt's hair "Will you be okay?"

Slightly leaning into Blaine's touch, Kurt nods "I will be. I'll have Finn with me."

"Good," Blaine leans own, and quickly kisses his forehead before pulling back, and heads over to door. "You coming, Rach?"

"Yeah, just a sec," Rachel looks over her shoulder, before she turns to look at Kurt, for once smiling at him genuinely "I hope he's okay."

"Thank you, Rachel," Kurt says, returning the smile.

Even though it was something small, Blaine couldn't help but feel relieved. He knew that Rachel and Kurt never really liked each other, so it was nice that they could actually be this civil towards one another. Blaine didn't know if Kurt and Rachel would ever become good friends, or even just friends, but as long as they didn't hate each other, Blaine would be happy. He didn't want to see two people who were important to him hating each other.

Rachel shuts the door to the room directly below Kurt's after putting all her things away, smirking broadly at Blaine.

"W-what is it?" Blaine says, shifting uncomfortably.

"Follow me," Rachel smirks slightly, before running down the stairs, Blaine tripping over his feet in effort to catch up with her. She may be short, but damn, Rachel could move fast – probably due to the fact that everyday since their first day at Hogwarts, Rachel ran to her classes so she was the first one there.

After a few minutes, Rachel pulls Blaine into one of the old studies, and locks the door. "I told you," Rachel says, looking at Blaine with her smirk becoming wider.

"Told me what?" Blaine asks, furrowing his brow in confusion.

"Remember how a few months ago, Professor McGonagall gave the Gryffindor Quidditch Team permission to practice after curfew?"

Blaine thought for a few moments..That was the day he spoke to Cooper in Hogsmeade about the kiss with Kurt in the Room of Requirement and when Kurt and Sebastian had broken up. He actually forgotten completely about the Quidditch practice.

"Vaguely..yes"

"And do you remember how I warned you that it might not actually have been McGonagall?" Rachel says, bringing her self up to her full height, her smirk becoming more and more prominent. So much to the point where it was starting to creep Blaine out slightly.

"Yeah, you wouldn't shut up about it for weeks," Blaine laughs, "What about it?"

"Well, I was right!" Rachel says triumphantly "It wasn't McGonagall!"

Blaine almost chokes on air, looking at Rachel with wide eyes "W-wait! So.. it was someone working for Umbridge then? Why are you so proud of that, Rachel!? I mean nothing bad happened, but -"

"Blainers, how about you calm down and let the girl explain before you let your mouth run at a million miles per hour?"

Blaine spins on the spot and looks at the doorway, frowning at his brother lazily leaning against the door frame with his shot glass of Firewhiskey; his face fell further when Rachel looked even more smug with herself than she already did.

"Cooper? What are you talking about?" Blaine says, shaking his head at his brother.

"I mean, dear Blaine, that Rachel here was right about it not being McGonagall that night," Cooper says, as he steps into the room "But it wasn't someone working for Umbridge, either."

"Who was it then?"

Leaning in, Cooper smirks, his face almost inches from Blaine's.

"It was me,"

"Cooper! What the hell!?" Blaine scowls, pushing Cooper away from him "You could've been caught!"

"No, I wouldn't have." Cooper says, rolling his eyes at his younger brother "Because I was in my cat form the whole time, and I drank the Polyjuice potion as soon as I got one of old McGonagall's hair."

"How even did you get the Polyjuice potion in the first place, Cooper?" Rachel asks, tilting her head a little to the side "You didn't tell me that."

"We have it stored somewhere in this house for emergencies," Cooper explains, "I only took enough for one potion, and when it wore off, I just went back into my Animagus form. Which was when I met you and Kurt." Cooper grins, looking incredibly proud of himself.

"Why did you do that Cooper? There was really no need for you to pretend that there was a fake Quidditch pratcice...," Blaine frowns, crossing his arms over.

"I'll be honest, I only meant to bring you out, but I needed you to come down to the Quidditch pitch, and that was really the only way I could bring you down. You'd tell everyone on your team anyway, and I knew you'd get suspicious if that Captain girl - "

"- Angelina -"

"- Yeah, whatever. I knew you'd get suspicious if she knew nothing about the practice."

"Uhm.. Okay," Blaine says confused "But, why did you need me to come down to the Quidditch pitch so badly?"

"You know how Kurt was up there, crying over that demon rodent he was dating?" Cooper raises an eyebrow, and smiles "He'd been up there for a while, and the kid looked like he needed cheering up, and you were the only person apart from Finn that I knew would want to cheer him up. And I wanted you to get into Kurt's good books, and I though that would give you more luck when you finally confessed your feelings for him! And I was right!"

"Okay, two things." Blaine says "Coop, how did you know that was Kurt? I thought you were only up there because you were following me, but I don't know how you recognized Kurt.. I'm really just lost on that front."

"Blaine, remember that Kurt has a brother called Finn?" Cooper says in an over-bearing voice, "And this brother called Finn stayed here during the summer holidays? Well, he had a family photo, and he pointed Kurt out for me. I already knew that those two were brothers, and to be honest, even if he hadn't pointed Kurt out after I saw that picture, it wouldn't have been too hard to realize who was Kurt."

"Right..." Blaine nods, before quirking an eyebrow "Why did you tell Rachel that was you before me?"

"Because Rachel is hilarious when she freaks out?" Cooper says shrugging. "And now that you two have finally got it on, I figured it was about time you knew that it was me that brought you two together, and helped your first love blossom quicker than it would've done if I had left you to deal with this yourself."

Blaine looks to be in disbelief for a few moments. That could only be something choreographed by Cooper, couldn't it?

"And Rachel, if Cooper told you this, why were you so shocked when you walked in on Kurt and I -"

"You walked in on them!?" Cooper cackles "Miss Berry, I am shocked!"

"Shut up, Cooper! I didn't know Kurt was here!" Rachel's nostrils flare as her face starts to turn a shade of magenta "And he didn't tell me. He didn't tell me anything about Kurt. He just told me that he pretended to be McGonagall, and I decided not to question it because... It's Cooper."

"Well, at least now you know the truth," Cooper shrugs, and takes a sip from his Firewhiskey, which he seemed to have forgotten about. "Anyway, Rach, Quinn's in the dining room if you want to speak to her."

Rachel looks as though she was about to protest about being with Quinn – another important person to Blaine that didn't get along with Rachel, and vice versa – but after Cooper shoots her a certain look, she holds back before retreating to the dining room.

Once the door slams behind her, Cooper takes a deep breath, and looks at Blaine "And Blaine? There's something I have to show you."
