"…and this is the part when Bellatrix kills Sirius!" Sam whispered into Mercedes' ear as she told him to 'hush'. The two of them were having a movie marathon of the Harry Potter movies as Mercedes had admitted to Sam that she hadn't watched any of them.

It was on a school day, in the football ground of McKinley, that she had told him that/ He had grabbed her arm and tugged her all the way to his motel and the pair set about watching the first movie in the series with Sam's siblings in their lap. The thought that they were cutting school didn't bother them one bit.

Then it became a daily routine. After school they would rush to the motel to either watch the movies or read the books together. This time they were at Mercedes' house, watching the fifth film. Sam would often spoil what happens just to watch her freak out about it.

Opening his mouth to shout out another spoiler, he was caught off guard when Mercedes clasped her hands over his mouth. After struggling for a bit, he remained still then licked her palm.

"Ewwwww!" she cried out through her laughter. A few unsuccessful attempts at wiping her hands on his Star Wars shirt were made but then she gave up and paused the film in order to go wash her hands. She came back to find Sam smiling at her. His face seemed to glow a little. Sitting beside him on the floor, she felt his arm around her shoulders. "And this is the part where-"

"Shut up!" she warned and he shook his head.

"I was going to say it's the part where I kiss you," Without waiting for a reply, he pressed his lips against hers gently. Despite having kissed the likes of Quinn and Santana, this was the first time Sam felt something more than lust in the kiss. He pulled away to see Mercedes grinning like an idiot. "Are you blushing ma'am?"

"I'm black, I don't blush," she retorted looking embarrassed. He gave her a wink.

"Next week we'll reinact the part where Dobby dies," he said.

"DOBBY DIES?" she screamed and that's how Sam knew that even if they did end up in a relationship, nothing would be different. Not really.

"Yeah, Bellatrix stabs him." Mercedes lunged at him.
