Hey guys! This is my very first fanfic and if you see any errors or have any suggestions, drop me a review or message me. It is HP!Brittana based. I will have other pairings, but I don't know if I should do Quick or Faberry. So let me know. I have a pretty good idea on where I want the story to go. Anyway, I'm keeping you from the story, read on!
Prologue
She was sitting alone on the Hogwarts Express. Her mother and father weren't seeing her off this year, as usual. The family house elf had just exited the compartment and by now, was probably at home, seeing to her work. Santana had become accustomed to her parent's more than frequent absences from her life. Her parents, being the best healers at , were almost always needed there. The only time Santana's parents had contacted her about school was way back in her very first year to congratulate their daughter on being sorted in Slytherin House, and even then the letter was brief. With her parents being Slytherins and purebloods themselves, they expected no less. By now, in Santana's fifth year at Hogwarts, she was used to the high expectations and such.
But right now, Santana could care less about her parents. In fact, her mind was set on one tall, blue-eyed, blonde named Brittany S. Pierce. Just then, the compartment door was thrown open and there, already clad in her Ravenclaw robes, was Brittany. Santana shot out of her seat like a cannonball and practically tackled Brittany with a fierce hug. Although startled, Brittany quickly returned the hug and buried her nose in Santana's hair to inhale her scent.
"I missed you so much it started to hurt, San." whispered Brittany.
Brittany's breath on Santana's ear caused shivers to run up and down Santana's spine. She took a few seconds to recover and said, "I know Britt-Britt. I'm sorry. I promise we won't be away from each other that long ever again."
Over the summer, Santana's parents had sent her to Bulgaria to visit her father's brother, David, and were forced to stay there for the rest of the summer. Something about "family bonding" her father had said. But she's pretty sure that her parents just went on vacation without her. Brittany and Santana had written letters but it wasn't nearly enough. So the pair linked pinkies, sat down and waited for Quinn and Puck to arrive.
Santana and Brittany met back in their first year on the train ride to Hogwarts. Santana was sitting with Puck and, as usual, he was starting to annoy her. Brittany walked in the compartment just as Santana was about to go Lima Heights on his ass. Lucky for Puck, Brittany's presence immediately calmed Santana down. And all Brittany had done was quietly walk into the compartment and sit by the window.
"Uh. What are you doing?" Puck asked. He was clearly confused as to why she was there and he was even more surprised that Santana hadn't told her to leave yet.
"Looking out the window." Brittany deadpanned.
As Santana bit back a chuckle, Puck said, "Oh, cool. But I meant like, who are you?"
"Brittany S. Pierce."
Santana shamelessly stared at her, soaking in her presence. Seriously, there is no way this girl is real. She is way too perfect. Most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Santana's eyes raked over Brittany's body and when she finally got to the girl's gorgeous blue eyes, she found them looking right back at her. Brittany's eyes were as deep as the ocean and she felt herself drowning in them. It wasn't until Puck cleared his throat that the pair broke their gaze and turned to him. Both of them looked at him with a "What the fuck did you do that for?" glare. What Santana did next surprised Puck greatly. Santana Lopez fucking smiled and said in the gentlest voice, "Hi Britt. I'm Santana." The nickname rolled off her tounge before she realized it. Even though ethnic people don't really blush, Santana did anyway. Santana tensed up and by the blank look on Brittany's face, she thought she had crossed a line. Suddenly, Brittany's face lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July and she exclaimed, "We just became friends, didn't we?"
"U-uh...um." Santana stuttered.
"Well, only friends give each other nicknames, right?"
"R-Right."
"And you just called me 'Britt', Santana!"
"Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did." Santana smiled.
The pair of girls just sat across from each other and smiled at each other. Puck was absolutely stunned; he couldn't even process words to talk. Santana never smiled unless she was causing someone else any type of pain and here she was, being nice? Hell, she was acting fucking nervous. He watched as the girls start up a conversation and Santana had moved to sit next to Brittany, leaving Puck by himself. They weren't talking loud enough for Puck to hear them so he settled for dozing off.
Puck was jostled awake by the train stopping. He awoke to find Santana and Brittany intertwined and asleep, lying across the seat. They looked so at peace, but he knew they needed to be woken up. Just as Puck went to wake Santana up, her eyes fluttered open. "Jesus, Puck! We're already here and Britts and I haven't changed yet!" Santana said as she looked out the window. "Damn. I was going to but I seemed to have fallen asleep. Just get yourselves changed and get out to the boats. I'll stall the oaf Hagrid outside; don't get your knickers in a twist."
"Fine. Just take you and that squirrel on your head and get out." Santana huffed.
It wasn't until Puck had left that Santana realized she was lying on Brittany. Delicately, Santana managed to get out of Brittany's arms without waking her. Santana began changing right there and thinking that Brittany was still asleep started changing out of her pants. Brittany woke up right as Santana was pulling up her school trousers. Santana wasn't facing Brittany and was quite surprised when she turned around to find Brittany's eyes jump up from her ass to her face.
"How long have you been awake?" Santana warily asked.
"A minute or two. Why?"
"Were you staring at my ass?"
"Oh yes. I like it a lot." Brittany replied with a grin.
Flustered, Santana told Brittany to get changed and meet her outside the train. What was Brittany doing staring at my ass? Well, I am one hot piece of flesh...maybe I'd like to see her ass, as well. WHAT? No. Santana Marie Lopez. Pull yourself together. You do NOT want to see her ass. Santana waited with the other first years for Brittany to come outside and after what seemed like ages; Britt finally hopped off the train and skipped over to Santana. As they started towards the boats, Santana noticed how disheveled Brittany looked. Her robe was hanging off one shoulder and her tie was loose around her neck. The white shirt that laid under her gray sweater was unbuttoned at the top. As they boarded their boat together, Santana took it upon herself to fix Brittany's clothing.
"Come here Britt. Let me fix your clothing."
"My clothes?" Brittany looked down at herself in surprise and blushed. "Oops, after you left the light went out in our compartment and I couldn't see what I was doing."
"It's okay Britt. Next time just pop your head out the window and call me over. I'll always help." Santana said as she was finishing fixing Brittany's tie. "There you go, good as new."
"Thanks Santana!" Brittany exclaimed and threw herself forward in the boat to give Santana a hug. Santana was anything but prepared for this and the force of Brittany knocked both them into the lake. Santana's mouth filled with water and darkness enveloped her. I can't swim! This is it, I'm going to die. She was so busy flailing underwater that she barely noticed a strong arm wrap around her waist and a bright light blinded her. Suddenly she was shot upward, out of the water and onto their boat. The rest of the boats were gone and seemed to be at the castle already. "Uck. Ew." coughed Santana. Santana and Brittany were still spitting out water.
"Brittany?"
"Yeah, San? Brittany replied in between breaths.
"Don't ever do that again."
"Hug you?"
"No." Santana laughed. "You can hug me. Just not into the water." Santana smiled.
Just then, Hagrid's boat pulled up in front of them. "I'm so sorry you two! McGonagall done a head count of first years when we got to the Great Hall and two of ye were missin'. I had to check an' see if ye were out here. Why yer all wet?"
"We accidentally fell in and Brittany saved us both." Santana said.
"Ye guys coulda been drowned. What were ye thinkin'?"
"Oh calm down you big loaf. We're obviously fine. So can you hurry up and get us to the castle. I need to be sorted so I can gets ma eats on!" Santana said. Beside her she heard Brittany giggle.
The two girls finally managed to get into the Great Hall and got ready to be sorted. Professor McGonagall performed a drying spell and began calling off names. A tall boy named Finn Hudson was sorted into Hufflepuff with a blond boy named Sam Evans. Puck sorted into Slytherin along with some annoying brunette by the name of Rachel Berry. Then Santana heard, "Brittany S. Pierce!"
Brittany turned and smiled at Santana before ascending the steps to the stool. Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat upon Brittany's head and Santana watched intently. Where ever Brittany got sorted would determine whether or not they could still be friends. Santana hoped Brittany would get sorted into Slytherin but the chances of that were slim to none. Brittany's sorting was taking forever and Santana could only make out bits and pieces of whatever the hat was saying. A blond girl around Santana's height came up beside Santana and said, "This is taking forever and I'm starving. She's clearly not pureblood. If the hat can't sort her, maybe she shouldn't be here." Confused at first, Santana took a moment to figure out who the blonde was talking about. She's talking about Britt! And then Santana saw red. She literally tackled the bitch to the ground and started screaming in Spanish. Santana felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her from behind, pinning her arms down to her side. "Santana, calm down." Brittany whispered, her lips grazing the outer shell of Santana's ear. Within seconds of Brittany intervening, Santana calmed down. She turned around in Brittany's arms to be met with Brittany's blue eyes and the rest of the Great Hall gawking at her. She looked to her left and found McGonagall staring daggers at her. Santana could sense the punishment coming and braced herself for the worst. But, just as McGonagall was opening her mouth to say something the hat, that was still on Brittany's head, shouted "Ravenclaw!". Brittany took off the hat, grinned, hugged it and then thanked it for doing it's "hat duties". McGonagall took it back and began reading off a few more names. Mike Chang and Kurt Hummel were sorted into Gryffindor. And a skinny boy with glasses who seemed nice enough was sorted into Ravenclaw. Santana was glad that Britt wasn't sitting alone anymore. She was also sad; she knew that she'd never be sorted into Ravenclaw. She was destined to become a Slytherin.
"Ouinn Fabray!"
The little blonde bitch that insulted Brittany walked up to the stool and sat down. McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on top of her head. After a moment, the Sorting Hat shouted "Ravenclaw!"
Santana was livid. If Quinn even so much as got within ten feet of Brittany, Santana would bring out Snixx. Santana glared Quinn down as she walked towards the Ravenclaw table and as if she heard Santana's thoughts, she picked the farthest seat from Brittany on the opposite side of the table. Santana was pleased for only a second because Brittany got up from her seat near the Ravenclaw prefect and walked around the table and plopped herself right next to Quinn. Santana and Quinn both wore dumbstruck expressions. Brittany, who was usually all smiles did not wear one as she spoke to Quinn. Santana was so focused on the conversation and trying to overhear, that she didn't even realize that McGonagall had called her name out twice. "SANTANA LOPEZ, unless you want to be sent home, I suggest you sit down on the stool." McGonagall said with a stern look gracing her face.
Santana shook her head to clear her thoughts and walked proudly up to the stool and sat down. She felt the hat being placed upon her head.
"Another Lopez, I see. Your parents made great Slytherins, as would you. I feel as though you would do well in Gryffindor too, my dear. You possess qualities of both houses. But where to put you…?"
Not Gryffindor. Not Gryffindor. My parents would disown me for sure. Please not Gryffindor. "Not Gryffindor? Well, then I am forced to say, SLYTHERIN!"
Santana's face broke out into a smile and she ran over to the Slytherin table where Puck and Rachel were eager to welcome her. Puck gave her a great big hug and Rachel attempted to but was forced to stop when Santana's palm came in contact with her forehead.
"Down, hobbit."
Rachel, of course, was not discouraged and took a seat right next to Santana and proceeded to go on and on about how great friends they would become. After about two seconds, Santana blocked her out and her eyes sought out Brittany. When she finally made eye contact with her, Brittany simply smiled and held her gaze for a minute or two. It was the love and hope she saw in Brittany's eyes that day that told her their houses wouldn't ever separate them.
