Coop,

I need to talk to you. Can we meet up at some point?

Blaine

Finn had no idea what to do with himself. Rachel wasn't helping him with his work, because she was spending so much time with Blaine Anderson, Quinn was stuck working with Santana Lopez, so she was stuck with her, and god knows where the hell his step-brother was? So Finn was completely and utterly stuck with his work, and it had came to a stand still. He just really wanted somebody – anybody – to help him this. Deciding to go and look for one of the three people, Finn walks out of the Hufflepuff common room, and heads out to the library, knowing that he'd find at least one of them there.

When he opens the door, Finn smirks to himself, seeing Kurt working in one of the back tables. His step-brother didn't seem to notice that he was there, he was so engrossed with his work. Finn thought that Kurt was spending all last night with his work... At least, that's what he said in that letter last night. Finn had asked him to come down to the Great Hall during the study period to help him out, but Kurt said that he had to wait for Blaine to finish his detention, so he wasn't sure when that would be, and he was probably going to be gone for all of the night. But, surely, Kurt would've spent all his time waiting for Blaine working? Then again, Kurt only seemed to have one book out. Maybe that was all he had left to do? Kurt did have a lot more work than him to do. Why he took twelve O.W.L.s, Finn would never know.

Finn sneaks around the long way to Kurt, making sure that the other boy couldn't see him, before creep up to him, and firmly tapped below Kurt's ribs, causing the smaller boy to cry out in shock, his quill going completely off course, a huge black line going across the parchment

“Finn! What the hell?” His brother protests, pouting at him.

“Library, Kurt” Finn chuckles, knowing that the look they must have been getting from the librarian. That woman went crazy if you did so much as whisper under her gaze.

“Well, don't attack me from behind then!” Despite his tone, Finn knew that right now, Kurt was trying his best not to start laughing. Finn knew that smirk on Kurt's lips from anywhere. He wore it quite a lot whenever Finn went off one of his long winded cover stories to their father.

Finn just shakes his head, before sliding into the seat next to him, propping his chin up on his hand as he watches Kurt work on...whatever it was he was working on.

“So, where's Sebastian then?”

“I have a life outside of Sebastian, you know.”

Wow. Kurt's mood seemed to have just..darkened at the mention of his boyfriend..Had they been fighting?

Frowning to himself, Finn looks down at his feet “I know that...you're just usually with Sebastian during the weekend.” He mumbles.

Kurt just sighs, and avoids looking at Finn “I can't see him just now.”

“Have you two been fighting?!” Finn instantly felt his protective instincts kicking in. He couldn't help it with Kurt. He was his younger brother, after all.

“What? No!” Kurt seemed shocked when he spoke, and almost as if he'd been trying to hide something. But it seemed to be more than trying to cover up the fact that they were fighting... What the hell was even going on between Kurt and Sebastian, and why was Kurt trying to hide it from Finn? It kind of hurt, if Finn was going to be honest..That Kurt wasn't telling him what was wrong.

“Then what's going on then?!” Finn hisses over at Kurt, desperately trying not to shout, because he knew that it would result in Kurt doing the same. And they'd both be kicked out of the library, and Kurt wouldn't speak to him until they graduated Hogwarts.. Well, when Kurt did. Finn knew he probably wouldn't make it past this year, despite the amount of help he was getting from Kurt. He just couldn't see himself in sixth year, taking his N.E.W.T.s. It was just an impossible feat, really.

Kurt finally looks away from his work, and up at Finn, his face just completely filled with pain.

“I can't tell you”

“Why not, Kurt?” Finn frowns further, trying to keep his cool for Kurt “I thought we were brothers.. You know that you can tell me anything. Unless it's like... really bad, I'm never going to judge you.”

This seems to sway Kurt, as he was taking a deep breath, and was speaking. He closes the text book, which Finn really couldn't read at all, no matter how hard he tried. Was it even in English?

“Fine.. But you need to promise that you won't tell anyone! Especially not Sebastian!” Kurt said, stressing on each syllable, his eyes deadly serious.

“Right. I promise. Pinky promise” Finn smiles, holding out his pinky.

Kurt rolls his eyes, shoving Finn's hand down, looking behind him, before leaning in to whisper in Finn's ear.

“Okay.. So you know how I was studying with Anderson last night?”

“Yeah..What about it?”

Kurt seems hesitant to speak, biting down firmly on his lip, before holding his gaze.

“Right...so, we ended up talking...and Umbridge has been pretty much torturing him. His hand's all..screwy because of this quill he's being forced to use.”

“Really!? Holy shit.. Wait, why can't I tell Sebastian?”

“Will you shut up, and let me finish, Finn!?” Kurt glares at Finn, his brow furrowing. “I'm already reluctant enough to tell you this, as it is!”

Finn flinches as Kurt snaps at him, looking down, deciding not to speak again until Kurt was definitely finished speaking.

“Anyways, we..ended up talking, and I was rubbing Murtlap Essence on his hand – it's that potion I gave you after you fell into Carole's vase during the summer -” He quickly adds, noticing Finn's confused look “One thing led to another and..” Kurt sighs, giving a shrug “We kissed.”

Finn looks at Kurt in disbelief, blinking slowly “You kissed?”

Kurt groans and looks at Finn “Kissed...Made out.. What's the difference?” He buries his face in his arms, not daring to look at Finn.

Finn bites his lip, running what Kurt said through his mind before speaking again, shrugging, and smiling down at Kurt.

“Well, that doesn't really surprise me, if I'm going to be honest.”

Kurt immediately freaks out when Finn speaks, jumping up and looking at him with wide eyes. How did Finn know? How did he know about his thoughts over the past week? Was he being more obvious than he thought? Was that why Anderson didn't stop until Kurt ran out?

“Wh-what!?” Kurt looks at Finn with wide eyes, his voice coming out even higher than usual.

“Whoa, calm down” Finn chuckles, shaking his head “I'm just saying... you and Blaine making out? As... uncomfortable as it makes me thinking about you making out with anyone.. It really doesn't shock me with Blaine. And, I'd rather you making out with Blaine than Sebastian.”

Kurt raises an eyebrow, folding his arms. “And why exactly wouldn't this shock you? Also, I think that it's bad that I'm making out with someone that isn't even my boyfriend.. I feel awful about it, and you go saying that you'd rather I'd make out with a complete stranger?”

“No, no, no. That's not what I'm saying at all.” Finn shakes his head, trying to think of a way to word what he was going to say. Unable to think of anything, Finn just shrugs and decides to just say the words as they come into his mind, and would go back to elaborate more on what he had said if it made no sense whatsoever to Kurt.

“What I mean is...with Blaine..He's actually had this..huge crush on you for as long as I can remember.” When Kurt looks at him like he was two heads, Finn isn't sure if he should continue speaking, though decides to just take the chance. He knew that the worst case scenario of Kurt telling the whole of Hogwarts wasn't going to happen because it really just wasn't who Kurt was at all. “He told me and Quinn one day – well it was more directed at Quinn than me – but he trusted me enough not to tell anyone. Well.. I guess I just told you, but I know it would've been fine to tell you. Anyway, he told me that ever since you two met on the train, he knew that he liked you....in that way”

Finn going to be honest...the look of complete anger coming his way from Kurt was making him want to stop what he was just saying, and run away, but he knew that would just make Kurt even angrier.

“And with Blaine...He'd actually treat you right. He talked about more than your looks, when he was gushing about you to Quinn..He really likes you, Kurt. Unlike Sebastian, who, if I'm going to be honest, is probably only interested in you because he thinks you're attractive.”

“Anderson doesn't even know me!” Kurt spits out at Blaine, hissing under his breath “And just because Sebastian actually tells me that he thinks I'm pretty, doesn't mean that he's only interested in me just for me looks”

Wow. Kurt was livid. Maybe Finn should've thought more on what he was saying. This really was just taking a turn for the worse, wasn't it?

“Blaine's really cool, though! And from what he's heard of you from Quinn and me, he really does like you – “

“Oh, so he only knows about me what other people have told him? He definitely knows me know doesn't he!?”

“Kurt, can you let me finish?” Finn speaks slowly, trying not to lose his temper with Kurt. “And Sebastian...He's always giving this...look whenever you're around. This..predatory look, and it makes me really uncomfortable, okay? And when was the last time he gave you a compliment that wasn't about how you look?”

“Just because he doesn't give me one million compliments about every single thing about me, doesn't mean he's only interested in my looks.” Kurt's still hissing at Finn, sounding like an incredibly pissed off cat “Besides, if you actually used your brain for once, you would realize that just maybe, that's the only thing that I feel I need to be complimented on!”

“What the hell, Kurt..” Finn mumbles, both in disbelief that Kurt made a jibe at his...slowness, and his complete blindness to what Sebastian was really like “Do you really think Sebastian would still like you if you just ignored about how unhealthy things were and eat nothing but the most fattening food for the rest of your life and stopped your..insane moisturising routine? And what if he found out about you being a – “

“Just, shut up, Finn!” Kurt snaps, visibly upset, and Finn knew that he probably went too far. But Kurt needed to hear it, rather than have his heart broken by Sebastian when the boy lost interest in Kurt for whatever reason “I know you don't like Sebastian at all, but that gave you no excuse to say that! I actually can't believe you did, to be honest with you. And I know that you only came here so I'd do all your work for you, as per usual. Well, no. I'm not doing it any more. I'm sick of constantly helping you. Either actually try and study for once, of exploit Berry's brains. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to have you help her”

Kurt grabs his things, tucking him under his arm and storming out of the library. Finn was momentarily dazed until the librarian starts squawking at him about the noise levels coming from him and Kurt, which causes Finn to jump up and run after Kurt, trying to talk to him before he got to the Slytherin common room – hell, even just the dungeons. They were a bad place for Finn to be.

Getting out in the hall way, Finn sees Kurt pushing his way through the other students. Finn starts making his way over to Kurt, his height definitely being an advantage as he makes his way over, and starts calling out Kurt's name. His brother completely blanks him, and Finn looks away for a moment when feeling a first year crashing into him, and Kurt's gone. He didn't even know where. Letting out a frustrated groan, Finn just decides to go to the common room for the night, and start looking for Kurt in the morning. Any attempts at apologizing, and trying to make Kurt see where he was coming from had to wait for when the other boy calmed down. Kurt wasn't the best person to reason with when he was mad, and Finn knew about that all too well.

Blainers,

Hogsmeade. That mountain. This Saturday. Bring food.

• Coop.

Coop,

Bring food? What the hell!? You have a huge house, and it's filled with house elves! You're not exactly low on cash either.

Blaine

Blainers,

Shut up. The food at Hogwarts is delicious, and that elf can't cook, and he doesn't even do anything for me! Just bring the food and meet me, okay? I thought you wanted to talk?

• Coop.

Coop,

Fine. I'll bring you food. You better eat it you know! And yeah....I do need to talk to you. Like.. badly

Blaine.

I love you, Blainers. And I'm allllll ears. Make sure your group is small though, if you're bringing anyone else. Don't bring along Frankenteen. I'll be caught for sure.

• Coop

Coop,

You just love the food. I know it. And I was only going to bring Quinn and Rachel. So no worries. I know Finn isn't... the best person with being sneaky.

Blaine.

Blainers,

I love you, and the food you bring. Seriously. When you live on that devilbeasts food? You'll be going all Mission Impossible on Hogwarts after you leave. Hell, maybe even during the summer! You'll miss it.

Trust me.

• Coop

Coop,

Well, that's not too bad then. And Mission Impossible? Seriously, Coop? How do you even know that film? I'm not about to break into my school, regardless of how delicious the food is.

Blaine.

Blainers,

Yes, Mission Impossible. I heard you and Rachel talk about it non-stop, and I decided to watch it. It was playing in one of those Muggle pubs.

• Coop

YOU WENT INTO THE MUGGLE WORLD?

What the hell, Cooper!? They know about you there. They think you're some... crazy murderer! You could've been seen!

Whoa, calm down Blainers.

I didn't get caught. I had an incredibly clever disguise!

...You just wore that stupid hat and a beaglepuss, didn't you?

God damn it, Cooper!

You love me really!

And yes. It was that disguise exactly.

It's cunning.

Don't deny it.

Don't even try to deny it.

Yeah. Sure. It's cunning. Whatever you want to believe.

You're no fun, Blainers!

I think I might have to kidnap you for a month and make you fun again. School's made you a boring old fart!

Hey, I am fun, you complete arse! I just have a lot on my plate just now!

And I'm younger than you, Coop.

I'm just teasing, Blainers. But seriously. You really need to try and have some fun!

You certainly don't act it though... or dress like it.

Seriously.

Ditch the bowties.

You look like Benjamin Button, or something.

I know, I know. I'm just.. Yeah. O.W.L.s.

And Benjamin Button?

Really?

See? B O R I N G!

And yes. Benjamin Button. You dress like a grandpa, and you look about 12. I'm 99% sure that you're aging backwards.

But your height on the other hand..

You've remained the height of a small child for a while. So, you could really fade from existence at any moments. I'm not sure if you're in your teens, or toddler age.

Did I ever tell you that I hate you?

I'm not that small!

Whatever. So, this Saturday?

Yeah.

This Saturday.

See you then, Blainers.

See you then, Cooper.
