"Oh my god, did you see the look on her face!"

"God, it was classic!"

"Berry is far too easily wound up, it's brilliant!"

"And how Anderson always jumps to the filth's defence – Yeah, because he could make it any more obvious that he likes to roll around in dirt! I wouldn't be surprised if he bred with the creature!"

Sebastian gives a small smirk to the other boys behind him, nodding as he continues to walk through the streets of Hogsmeade with them.

"So, Seb, what are we going to do now?"

Turning on his heel, Sebastian shoves his hands in his pockets, continuing to walk backwards. "Well, there isn't really much we can do, is there?h" He says shrugging "We've already managed to trick Hudson, and we've dealt with Anderson and Berry...the other Mudbloods and blood traitors aren't as fun to mess with really."

Sebastian was lying through his teeth there. He loved tormenting them all, and while they didn't get the same reaction as he got from Hudson, Anderson, and Berry, the reaction was still hilarious the same. Sebastian just couldn't stop thinking about what Anderson said – about Kurt not spending that much time with him..if it really was something more than studying? He had to know, and nothing was going to get his mind off it.

"But Seb! It's been ages. Can't we just..you know, put them in their place?" The shortest of the group says.

Sebastian didn't hear what the other boy had said, as he was too deep in thought about to get Kurt to spend more time with him. And Kurt's strange, avoiding behaviour started not long after that last studying session with Anderson. Did something happen between them? No...it couldn't have. Kurt had more dignity than that. But Kurt was avoiding him a hell of a lot. Then, and idea had struck in his mind. It may have been one of the most obvious things to do, but right now? Sebastian didn't care. He didn't care how much studying Kurt had to do. He was going to force the boy to spend time with him, and after he was done? Kurt would never spend that much time away from him again, and would regret doing so.

"You guys...You go do whatever you want" Sebastian says, smirking to himself as he begins walking away from the group "I'm going to go find Kurt. Important homework...things. I've just remembered. So yeah.." He stops about midway down the road, "Do whatever the hell you want." He gives a quick salute before running back up to the castle, smirking to himself all the way.

The brown cat turns as Blaine speaks, running up the mountain path, with Rachel and Blaine quickly following. The cat disappears into the cave that was only just visible from the village. Luckily, they were far enough away that no one would see them going in, but Blaine figured that was because of how short he and Rachel were. With Finn, they'd probably be spotted by now.

Once all three were inside, Blaine turns around to where he saw the cat walk towards, and in it's place, saw his brother standing, a lop sided smirk on his face as he tilts his head to the side.

"Hey, Blainey"

"Coop...Hey." Blaine smiles a little over at him, taking a seat on one of the rocks.

"So, you've only brought Rachel? I thought you said you were bringing Quinn as well?" Cooper asks, following suite as he sits on the rock behind him.

"We were going to bring her but.." Rachel starts, sitting next to Blaine. She looks at him for a few moments before turning back to Cooper "She's in Slytherin..people would question why she's with us, and I was scared that they might have used some sneaky, underhanded tactics to get her to spill about where she was with us.. And I didn't want to risk you getting caught. At least with just me and Blaine.. We would just get comments about how we're sneaking off to have...'fun'."

"Yeah..I over-heard that Sebastian kid earlier" Cooper says nodding "Is that why you wanted to speak to me, Blaine? Has he been getting worse? Because if he is, you do realize that I'll actually be thrown into Azkaban, and I would deserve it this time."

Eyes widening, Blaine shakes his head as he holds Cooper's gaze "N-no! It's not Sebastian – Well, it kind of is – But not completely! – He's involved but he's not..the main problem. What I mean is – "

"Blaine..calm down" Cooper chuckles softly "First of all, did you bring the food? I can't shed any of my pearls of wisdom on an empty stomach."

"Cooper, haven't the elves been making you dinner?" Rachel asks, frowning a little.

"I've not been home." Cooper says, looking over at Blaine "Ever since Blainey here sent me that letter, I've been camping out here so I could get to him as quickly as possible. I've been living off the rats and any food the residents here give me. They can't say no to a cute animal, huh?"

"Is that why you told me to bring food?" Blaine frowns a little, reaching into his bag as he passes the food he took from the Great Hall earlier.

"Well...yeah" Cooper says, taking a chicken leg and throwing one each to Blaine and Rachel "And I wasn't lying when I said that the food at Hogwarts is to kill for."

"Right..." Blaine says, smiling wryly.

"So, Blainey" Cooper says, eating a large bite of the chicken leg in his hand "What's the problem then if it's not Sebastian, but related to him?"

Blaine takes a deep breath, exchanging a glance with Rachel, sighing as he looks back at Cooper. "It's Kurt.."

"Kurt?" Cooper repeats, blinking slowly "That kid you like? What about him...?"

"Well, you know how I told you about how we were got stuck together for that Potions assignment?" Blaine asks, looking at the ground

A smirk flits across Cooper's face, nodding. "Yeah..you kept gushing about how this was an 'amazing opportunity to actually connect with Kurt' and how you 'couldn't believe that you were lucky enough to work with such a ho - "

"Okay, so I told you about how I was studying with Kurt" Blaine says quickly and firmly, frowning a little at Cooper as he chuckles to himself.

"Yeah, you told me about that. What about it? Did it go the way you planned? Are you two finally getting it on?"

"Cooper! Can you just.." Blaine grimaces for a few moments, trying to figure out exactly what to say, biting his lip as he manages to hold Cooper's gaze "Let me speak? I don't know what to do.."

"You're right, sorry." Cooper shakes his head, smiling slightly "So, did things not go the way you hoped then?"

"No.. not exactly" Blaine sighs, running a hand through his hair.

"Not exactly?"

"Yeah..." He sighs again, exchanging a glance with Rachel, before looking back at Cooper as she nods "Well..Umbridge put me in detention again on Friday and I wasn't out till..really, really late. Kurt told me not to worry about it and that he'd wait for me somewhere up in the Seventh floor..I can't remember where he said it was. Anyway, we..ended up talking, and he said that he believed me about the whole Voldemort thing and we, uhh..." He clears his throat, and looks the floor blushing, muttering "We kissed.h"

There was a silence. An awkwardly long silence with Cooper just staring at Blaine for what seemed like hours, but couldn't have been any more than a few minutes.

"You kissed?" Cooper repeats, raising an eyebrow "You didn't kiss him, did you? Because that really wouldn't do much to win him over, and I doubt that Sebastian kid would be too pleased either."

"N-no... I'm not..I wouldn't have kissed him, as much as I want to." Blaine mumbles, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Then how did you end up kissing then, Blaine?" Cooper frowns a little, tossing the bone of the chicken leg on the ground before taking out another from Blaine's bag, biting a large chunk from it.

Blaine doesn't say anything straight away, exchanging a glance with Rachel first before he turns back to Cooper, taking a deep breath. "Kurt.." He started slowly "Kurt.. kissed me."

"Kurt kissed you?" Cooper repeats, wide eyed.

"Yeah.." Blaine nods, frowning a little. "It was after we were talking about the whole Voldemort thing and how he believes me, and he was talking about how he was more worried about me, because Voldemort attacks people close to me, because I thought that he was worried about being attacked." Realizing that he was doing a Rachel and not taking one breath as he spoke, Blaine stops for a few seconds to let himself breathe before continuing again "And I was really, really, really stupid and almost made it obvious just how much I actually like him by saying that I wouldn't let Voldemort hurt him."

"So...he kissed you after that?" Cooper asks, furrowing his brow.

"Not really" Blaine shakes his head "I managed to kind of...cover it, by saying that 'if we got closer after this' – the whole studying... thing – then I wouldn't let him get hurt. Then Kurt said something about how he'd like to get closer to me, and then.." He trails off, sighing heavily.

"He kissed you," Cooper finishes for him.

"Yeah..." Blaine smiles wryly, looking at the ground "Then Kurt completely freaked out and told me not to tell anyone, but it was kind of..angry and not..panicky."

"Wait, why did Kurt freak out?" Cooper asks confused.

"I-I don't know." Blaine replies stuttering.

"You told me that you were sucking on his tongue." Rachel adds looking right at Blaine "And you said that you almost started frotting and that was when Kurt pushed you away."

Blaine just gapes at Rachel, feeling his cheeks turning almost as red as the couches in the common room, while Cooper just starts guffawing, almost falling off the rock he was sitting on.

"Cooper!" Rachel snaps, making Blaine feel a surge of gratitude, glad that Rachel was probably going to tell Cooper to just shut the hell up the next time she spoke "Stop laughing so loud! What if someone hears you? I don't want us getting thrown into Azkaban for hiding you – Blaine's got enough going on without that being piled on top of him, and I don't want you back in Azkaban! It's just.. It's an awful place, and I don't want to see you going back there!" Her voice had became gradually more tearful as she got to the end of her scolding.

Well. Blaine's gratitude fell, but he knew Rachel had a point. As much as he felt like dying from embarrassment at the moment, Cooper not getting caught was far more important. He watches Cooper carefully, feeling relieved as he calms down.

"Well, no wonder he freaked out" Cooper shrugs "He probably wasn't expecting that. Hell, I doubt he was even expecting you to just kiss him back! I mean, obviously Kurt was more down for doing what you practice on the crook of your elbow, rather than what you do practising on a pillow, or mattre-"

"Cooper!" Rachel glares at him, surprisingly managing to get him to shut up, even if he was currently trying to stifle his giggles.

"Coop.." Blaine grimaces, looking up at his brother desperately. "I really don't know what to do with this..I don't want Kurt hating me because I couldn't control myself."

Taking a deep breath, Cooper stops laughing, looking at Blaine seriously.

"Okay, so you really like this Kurt kid, right?"

"Yeah...a lot." Blaine nods, smiling serenely, thinking back to when he first saw Kurt "Ever since we met on the train."

Blaine just continues to smile to himself, getting completely distracted in his thoughts about Kurt that he doesn't notice Cooper pretending to gag when he speaks, or when he starts to day dream, only coming out of it when Cooper speaks again.

"Hey Blainers. Stop thinking about swapping spit with this kid, wipe that stupid smile off your face and listen to me."

"Wha –?" Blaine looks up at Cooper, confused, before blushing upon realizing that he completely zoned out "Oh, right.. Sorry."

"Honestly..." Cooper says, pretending to be irritated as he shakes his head "Anyway, do you want to know what you should do?"

"Why would I have sent you that letter if I didn't..?" Blaine sighs, crossing his arms "And please...No..stupid jokes or anything."

"Well, you're no fun, Blainers because I had a whole list of crazy, and zany ideas for you to do to win this kid's heart. Now I have to give 'proper advice'." Cooper groans, sitting up straight before chuckling "No, I'm kidding. I wasn't going to be stupid. As much as screwing you over is hilarious? I'm not about to put my soul, or you at risk to do that."

Blaine doesn't say anything, and just smiles at Cooper, knowing that in a rare event for him, that he was being sincere, and actually was going to help him. He helped him a lot of times sincerely, especially last year with the tournament, but before then, and afterwards, Cooper did nothing to help and just pulled stupid, and almost borderline insane pranks.

"Right, so I think what you should do is just tell Kurt" Cooper says shrugging "Tell him how you feel."

Blaine blinks slowly, shaking his head, starting to leave "I thought you were going to be serious, Cooper."

Before he has the chance to leave, Cooper stands up, pushing him back down on the rock, before sitting next to him "Sit back down, and I am being serious. I know...I told you when we first met properly, and you first told me about Kurt I told you to never tell a guy that you like him because it makes you look like an idiot? Well, you did a good enough job of doing that without telling Kurt. So you have nothing to lose."

"I can't just walk up to him and go 'Oh, hi Kurt. I just wanted to let you know that I've pretty much been in love with you since we first saw each other'!" Blaine says, shaking his head. Was Cooper really not getting this at all?

"Well, don't do that" Cooper says seriously "Because that's really stupid. But, next time you see him to study or in the corridors, or whatever, just talk to him, and apologize for going too far with the kiss – don't actually apologize for kissing him because that was his fault, but don't tell him that – then explain why you kissed him. From what you and Quinn have told me, he's a reasonable guy, and probably won't freak out at you too much. It might not go the way you want, maybe it will. But it should at least take you out of his bad books if you're even in there."

Well...that did seem to make sense, but Blaine wasn't sure if he could. Because he liked Kurt. He liked Kurt a lot, and he didn't want to mess things up even more than they already where for them. Because it would hurt like hell if that happened, and Blaine wasn't ready for Kurt to completely hate his guts just yet.

"Will that even work?" Blaine asks nervously.

"I don't know" Cooper says, giving a sigh. "The only thing that you can really do is try."

After waiting in the common room for a good few hours, Sebastian smiles once it gets to half nine thirty. It was finally time. Finally time for Operation: Distract Kurt Hummel to begin. He pushes himself up from the couch, and while looking through the many corridors of Hogwarts, he questions every single Slytherin he sees about where Kurt is, after being unable to find him anywhere in the common room. He finally finds him after speaking to Quinn, discovering that Kurt had been studying up in the Astronomy Tower. Breathing a sigh of relief, he heads up to the Astronomy Tower, a smirk on his face. Sebastian knew exactly what to do to make Kurt never leave him this long without so much as a kiss for a week, even if Kurt wasn't actually studying, and was just being a huge, god-damned tease? Sebastian knew that once the night was over, Kurt couldn't bear to stay away from him.

It was about fifteen minutes to eleven by the time Sebastian arrived at the Astronomy Tower, and Kurt didn't seem like he was going to move at all. He was far too absorbed in his work that he hadn't even realized that Sebastian was there.

Sebastian's usual smirk widens as he takes out his wand, twirling it in his fingers before pointing it Kurt, muttering "Obscuro"

As soon as the spell hits Kurt, a blindfold appearing to cover his eyes, the smaller boy falls from his seat in shock, tugging at the blindfold in an attempt to take it away, from him. Smirking even further, Sebastian flicks his wand again, muttering the spell to get Kurt's books back into his bag, before he walks over, slipping Kurt's book bag over his shoulder. Once adjusting it to suit him, Sebastian then picks Kurt up, holding the other boy over the other shoulder, chuckling darkly at Kurt's squeal of protest. Once getting Kurt into a more comfortable position on his shoulder, Sebastian leaves the Astronomy Tower, and heads down to the Seventh Floor for the Room of Requirement.

It was getting harder to walk the closer they got to the Room of Requirement, as Sebastian's back began to ache from Kurt punching it in attempt to get him to put him down. But Sebastian wasn't going to. He was determined to see this through to the end. He had to block Kurt out as he walked past where the room show up, thinking of a perfect room for what he had planned.

When the Room shows, Sebastian rolls his eyes, pushing the door open "Finally..". He mutters, pushing the door open with his rear, closing it in the same way. The room was perfect..well. Not for him, but for Kurt. The room wasn't huge, but there was a king sized bed in the middle, with rose petals scattered over it, and candles on the surrounding table. It wasn't exactly something that Sebastian liked, or even wanted, but Kurt wanted and liked this romantic shit, right?

Taking a deep breath to see if what he needed was there, Sebastian puts Kurt down, quickly spinning him around a few times, before tossing the bag into Narnia for all he knew and rushes over to the bedside drawers. After pulling the drawer open, he smirks at the sight that greets him upon opening "Perfect", he thinks before turning around back to Kurt, his eyes widening a little in concern when seeing his boyfriend stumbling around, panicking in case Kurt knocks over, or catches onto one of the candles. Sebastian didn't want Kurt to catch fire, and because of just how much spray Kurt even put in his hair? The results would be a lot worse. But fortunately, Kurt stops, and stumbles into a wall, sliding down it as he attempts to take the blindfold off again.

It was then that Sebastian decided to actually set his plan off. Standing up, Sebastian walks over to Kurt, grabbing onto his wrist as he pulls him over to the bed, getting annoyed as Kurt struggles, trying to stay where he was, but Sebastian's able to get him to the bed. Taking his wand out again, Sebastian mutters the counter-curse for Obscuro, before he puts his wand into his robes, tossing them behind him, smiling when seeing the blindfold fall from Kurt's eyes.

"Hello, Kurt" He smirks, angling his head a little as he walks even closer to Kurt.

Kurt's eyes widen, about to step back when feeling Sebastian's hand on his wrist, struggling slightly. "S-Sebastian..."

Kurt seemed like he was going say something else, but what that was Sebastian would never know as he'd cut him off with a fierce kiss to the lips. Kurt hesitates at first, but Sebastian just puts that down to shock, as Kurt is soon kissing him back, wrapping his arms around his neck. Sebastian smirks against Kurt's lips, pressing his lips firmer against the other boy's. Sebastian nips sharply at Kurt's lips, and at the squeak coming from Kurt's lips, Sebastian quickly pulls off Kurt's robes, tossing them somewhere – he didn't even know.

Once his robes were off, Kurt pulls away, seemingly about to say whatever it was he was going to say before, before Sebastian turns Kurt around, and pushes him onto the bed, quickly crawling on top of him, and attaching their lips again, kissing more passionately. Kurt doesn't kiss back as passionately as he did before, only just kissing back lightly. Sebastian just guessed that it was because Kurt knew exactly where this was going to go, and naturally was just feeling nervous – Sebastian was like that during his first time as well, after all.

After a few minutes, he starts rolling his hips down onto Kurt's, a little disappointed that the only reaction he was getting from Kurt was his own hips giving small thrusts upwards, and infrequent whines as he parts his lips, having Sebastian quickly flicking his tongue along Kurt's lips, though gives a small smirk when feeling Kurt's lips shaking, pushing his tongue a little further into his mouth, just running his tongue almost everywhere, starting to open the buttons to Kurt's cardigan up.

Sebastian then peels back Kurt's cardigan, before he carefully pulls away from Kurt, looking down at the boy below him, smirking at the sight of Kurt breathing heavily, and a slightly darkened gaze. He nips at the tip of Kurt's nose, before attaching his lips back onto Kurt's, kissing him hungrily, and still rocking his hips forwards onto Kurt's, smirking further to himself as Kurt's hips move more than the tiny thrusts that came from him before, yet it still wasn't as vigorous as Sebastian was used to, though, the noises coming from Kurt were about as loud and frequent as he was used to. Sebastian keeps this going for a few moments, before ripping open Kurt's shirt, ignoring the buttons clattering on the ground, and Kurt's squawk of protest about his clothes.

"Sebastian..." Kurt mumbles, managing to break away from the kiss, breathing heavily.

"Shh, Kurt" Sebastian quickly attaches his lips onto Kurt's again "I'll replace it later, don't worry. And you have loads anyway" He mutters in between kisses, pushing the shirt and cardigan down past Kurt's shoulders, stopping at Kurt's shoulders, not being able to move it any further. He trusted that Kurt would be smart enough to take them off himself. Kurt didn't do it straight away, but Sebastian guessed that Kurt was probably just waiting for the right moment, probably when he pulled away again. Sebastian did think about pulling away just now, but decided against it, temptation to keep going for now.

Slowly, Sebastian pulls away from kissing Kurt again, moving his lips down Kurt's jaw, nipping down a sharp line trailing down past his neck and continues to move his lips down, eliciting a few moans from Kurt.

"S-Sebastian..please.." Kurt whimpers, gripping onto Sebastian's shoulders, gasping loudly as Sebastian nips harshly just above his left nipple; Sebastian not at all aware at Kurt pushing at his shoulders.

Taking Kurt's whimper as a signal to go further, Sebastian flicks his tongue out at his nipple, about to take it in his mouth, and his hands slipping down to unbutton Kurt's trousers, before he feels himself being pushed away and lying flat on his back on the bed. A swarm of excitement had filled Sebastian, finding it incredibly hot that Kurt was now taking control, just waiting for Kurt's weight on top of him, smirking when hearing the springs of the bed moving. However, he wasn't expecting to see Kurt climbing off the bed, and pushing his cardigan and shirt back onto his shoulders. Sebastian was actually seconds away from lunging forwards to pull Kurt back on the bed before he heard his boyfriend speaking.

"No, Seb...Just stop.." He sighs, buttoning up the shirt with the little buttons that were still on his shirt, buttoning his cardigan up all the way, before dropping to his knees, looking around the floor next to the bed "Where the hell is my tie...?" He mutters to himself.

Sebastian then frowns, pushing himself up glaring a little at the other boy "What the hell, Kurt? I had this all planned out for you!"

Kurt scowls, standing up after finding his tie, quickly tying it around his neck "And what exactly were you planning!"

"You know exactly what I was planning, Kurt." Sebastian frowns, still glaring slightly at Kurt "All this stupid romantic crap with the flower petals and the candles? It was for you. I know you like this stupid romantic shit and I knew that this is what you want when we go all the way. I just wanted something normal, in this damned room, but no. I thought of all of this for you, and you're being completely ungrateful about the whole damn thing!"

"'Go all the way'?" Kurt says quietly, as he looks at Sebastian as if he had two heads, before practically yelling at him "Were you dropped on your head!"

"What do you mean 'was I dropped on my head'?" Sebastian spits out at Kurt.

"Oh, you know exactly what I mean!" Kurt says, laughing sarcastically "I've told you hundreds of times before, that I'm not ready for..." He trails off, his face burning a little with embarrassment "That yet! I thought we'd discussed that months ago that I was going to tell you!"

"I thought you were playing hard to get, and that's why you'd been avoiding me!" Sebastian yells back, scoffing a little as Kurt turns paler, and avoids his gaze. "That's why I thought I'd surprise you with this, and you needed a break from all this studying!"

"You could've just lead me here by sending a note! If you actually knew a thing about being romantic, you would know that would be more romantic, rather than attacking me and dragging me down here. I thought I was being kidnapped by a group of those Gryffindors! The ones that never fail to torment me everyday!" Kurt spits out at him. He then groans a little, and buries his face into his hands, almost crying now. "I have never felt less like being intimate with someone. And it's either you can't tell, or you just don't care."

"What the hell has gotten into you!" Sebastian asks, now standing up as he throws his hands in the air.

"Don't start, Sebastian.." Kurt starts to say, slipping on his robes, before he's cut off by Sebastian scoffing, glaring a little at the taller boy, before turning away again to get his bag.

"Shut up, and actually let me speak, Kurt" Sebastian glowers at Kurt "Seriously. Ever since you studied with Anderson last, you've barely came near me. This is actually the first conversation we've had at length in days. What the hell happened between you two?"

"N-nothing." Kurt's voice came out strained, and he hadn't turned around to look at Sebastian.

"Bullshit." Sebastian snap, harshly. "I know something happened between you, and it was enough to make you act like this. And I doubt it's because it's because you've been hanging around with dirt, because naturally that would actually make you hang around with the right sort. So what the hell happened? What happened between you two? What in the living hell did he do to you?"

Sebastian was full on glaring now, his glare burning into the back of Kurt's head. He wasn't as mad at Kurt as he was at Anderson. Anderson was just the source of every problem that happened to him at Hogwarts, and he'd done something to his boyfriend that made him act this secretive.

Finally, Kurt actually turns around to look at Sebastian. Relief filled him, preparing himself to actually have his boyfriend tell him what had happened so he could get around to kicking Anderson's ass quicker. However, Sebastian wasn't expecting to see tears falling down Kurt's face, thick and fast, his voice hoarse when he speaks.

"I'm sorry.." Kurt manages to croak out "I'm really sorry.."
