Harry took a deep breath before getting out of his 67' Black Chevy Impala, he couldn't help but fidget, all eyes were on him, and he didn't like that. Even back at Hogwarts he didn't like all the attention, he put on his black messenger bag, and took one final look at his clothes; he was wearing a white long sleeve t-shirt, and a black t-shirt over it, a grey hoodie, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. You can do this Harry… this is nothing, you're a fucking Gryffindor for Christ sake's, they are brave and so are you, he thought to himself.
He walked up to the doors, and entered the building, he was slightly taken aback by the scene that was showed in front him. He saw as a girl get soaked in a frozen liquid, "hey!" He called out, rushing over to the girl, she had long hip length brown hair, and brown eyes. She wore a light blue dress with a black sweater, knee high socks and black flats. "Are you okay?"
"Hey new kid get away from that loser, if you know what's good for you," the boy called out, Harry was reminded of Crabbe when he looked at the boy, except instead of being fat he was well build, he had blond hair and blue eyes, he wore a team jacket, which meant he was a jock.
"Oh yeah, well I don't listen to stupid idiots with a combined IQ of a lamppost," Harry growled.
"Don't call me stupid you pansy," the boy replied.
"I'm sorry your right, calling you stupid would be an insult to stupid people!" He retorted. The boy let out a growl and was about to punch Harry, but Harry quickly kicked the boy in the stomach, then gracefully jumped over him to stand behind him, then he kicked him one more time, causing the boy to hit the locker with a thud.
Harry went over to the girl, and picked her up, "oh god, do you need a fresh pair of clothes? I have a pair of sweats and a t-shirt," he offered.
"No thank you, this happens all the time, I have to hurry and clean my hair otherwise it's going to be nearly impossible to clean," she replied.
"I'll wait here for you, to make sure no one else throws… whatever that was in your face again," he said.
"It's alright… you don't have too, and it's a slushie," she said, going over to the bathroom.
"That was some pretty sweet moves dude," a voice called out, he turned around and saw a taller boy making his way towards him, he also had the same jacket on him as the other jocks.
"What you want to test me?" He warned.
"No! No… I'm okay, thanks for doing that… I'm Finn by the way," Finn said, sticking out his hand.
"Well Finn… the names Harry… I don't wish to sound mean, but I'm actually waiting for someone to come out of the bathroom," he said.
"You mean Rachel… she's my… girlfriend," he said, a bit possessive.
"What?" He couldn't believe what he just heard, the guy just stood there and watched her get slushied, and did nothing about it?
"Yeah… well she will be, we had a bit of break last year, but she's going to come back to me," he said smugly, Finn wasn't one to be Jealous. But the boy in front of him, he had to admit, was hot, he had that athletic build, that was being hidden by the clothes, and had a pair of piercing emerald green eyes.
"If this is how you treat your girlfriend, then I sure as hell not leaving this place," he said.
"I thought I told you that you didn't have to wait for me," Rachel said, as she walked out of the bathroom, she had a grateful smile, but it disappeared as soon as she saw Finn.
"Hey Rach," Finn said, showing her his famous lopsided grin.
"Finn… um… actually I wouldn't mind you accompanying me, I could show you the principal's office," she said, looking back at the boy.
"Thanks, I'm Harry by the way," he said, linking his arm with hers, as they walked by him, Harry bumping Finn with his shoulder.
As they walked the hall, everyone was staring at them again, "so what was that about?" He asked, turning to look down at her, he was glad he finally had that growth spurt, no longer did he stand at 5'5, he was now at 6'0, towering over the petite girl's 5'8 frame.
"What the slushie or Finn?" She asked.
"Both," he replied.
"Well… I'm not that popular, I'm slightly annoying, I'll admit it, but it's because I have a dream and a talent that they are jealous of. However, being different is bad here at McKinley, unless you're a jock or a Cheerio, who are the cheerleaders and who run this school. I'm also in my school's glee club, it's a musical group, where we can sing and showcase our talent, we even compete against other show choirs, we've won Sectionals, and Regionals, but we've yet to win Nationals, which is the biggest honor ever. Last year we were in Chicago for Nationals, but we lost because Finn thought it was a great idea to kiss me in front of the whole stage, and thanks to him, we were in 12th place. If I want to be anyone in life, I have to win Nationals, but this is my junior year, and I know this is the year we'll win, I have a feeling. Well especially with my talents, we'll win, I mean, I am the best I've won many singing competition ever since I was able to sing, and I want to be just like Barbra Streisand, who is my idol," she said without breath.
"Slow down Rachel, okay… so I can see why people call you annoying, but I think it's great to have a dream, and from what I can see… you have a passion for Broadway, you and my best friend Hermione would have tons to talk about, she also loves musical theater, her idol is Bernadette Peters, but I'm guessing it's because they both have frizzy hair," he chuckled.
"OMG! Bernadette Peters is the most musically-acclaimed Broadway actress ever, I've seen her in Annie like 15 times, but Funny Girl about 82 times," she cried out.
"Like I said, you two would have much in common," he smiled.
"So does she sing?"
"Yeah, she's great, we also had our own show choir, from Hogwarts, the Phoenix Cry," he said.
"You're from Hogwarts!" She cried out, making everyone pay even more attention to them.
"Um… yeah, remember the terrorist attacks, well the school was destroyed, many died there, but me and my some of my friends were lucky to have survived along with many other students and teachers, so they're rebuilding it, and I wanted to continue my studies, so my friend told me of this small town, and I moved here," he told her.
"Oh I'm sorry about that, but I'm glad you're here, well here's the principal's office, I'll wait for you out here," she said.
"Thanks," he said, before taking her hand in his and kissing it, causing her to blush.
*/*/*/*
The next four days went by quicker than he thought, his meeting with the principal went better than he expected, and no one seemed to have told on him on the slushie incident. Rachel quickly became a great friend, he found out that she no longer held any feelings for Finn, although she had her eye on a guy named Sam, who he was introduced, and joked about having a trouty mouth, which made Sam to retaliate by calling Harry Kurt 2.0. He also met Blaine and Trent, who were best friends, and both were gay. He found out that both boys were from Dalton, but they transferred here when Blaine's ex-boyfriend, Kurt, who is Finn's step-brother, transferred to Dalton, but after a painful break-up, Kurt didn't want to leave, so Blaine and Trent left instead.
He then met Artie, who was a sweet guy, but he didn't like being pitied on because of his disability, he was an expert in video production. Then there was Mike and Puck, both were also on the football team, once they told Harry what the jackets meant, and Harry immediately liked them, both boys didn't have much passion for singing, but protected the glee club from others, unlike a certain Frankenteen that shall remain nameless.
He also met the Cheerios, but he liked Santana and Brittany more than Quinn, he thought Quinn was a snobbish brat, and it reminded him too much of Pansy, who tried to get with every guy, including him. He didn't like Santana at first, but saw that she really cared for the club, and was especially protective of Brittany, who Harry liked immediately, she reminded him of Luna. Finally there were the new members, Rory, a foreign exchange student, who Harry had to admit was the cutest boy he'd ever seen, with the most beautiful pair of baby blues, and Marley, who looked like a mini-Rachel… except she didn't talk a mile a minute, or anything like that, but still had a million dollar watt smile, and Ryder, who was also in the football team, but really enjoyed singing along everyone.
"So Harry, do you think you might want to join our glee club?" Rachel asked, they both had the same classes, and they were currently in their Spanish class, with a poor excuse of a Spanish teacher teaching them the wrong way to write and translate someone's name.
"Um… sure why not, when is auditions?" He asked.
"Why don't you join me in a song, I promise not to over shadow you," she joked, ever since they became friends, Rachel began being more playful and outgoing, and people began noticing. She also began dressing more her age. Currently she was wearing blue skinny jeans that hug tightly around her body, a white tank top, long black drape cardigan, and black flats.
"Sure, what song?"
"The prayer, I've been wanted Finn to sing with me… but I can't stand him anymore," she sighed.
"I hear you," he nodded in agreement, Finns been getting more possessive of Rachel, when she first changed her style, and people began noticing her in a positive way, he was the first to point out that she didn't have to change for him. Then he began trying to intersect the two from meeting, it's been annoying Rachel so much that she wanted to quit glee club if Finn didn't stop.
"Harry, and Rachel, care to share with the class what you were discussing?" Mr. Schue asked them, he glared over at Harry. When Harry began to correct him on the first day, he's began to lose what little respect the class had left of him.
"Yeah, you spelled Michael wrong, you just took the 'A' out making it Michel, and that's not the same, Michael in Spanish is Miguel," he said erasing the teacher's answer and writing down in his perfectly written script.
"I see, well… please stop talking in my class," he said.
"I would if you'd actually taught the language correctly," he replied, sitting down on his seat, before Mr. Schue could retaliate, the bell rang, and both teens left.
"You shouldn't do that Harry, Mr. Schue's the glee club director," Rachel told him.
"I bet he isn't all that great, let me guess he's trying to make you guys sing really old songs that don't really express your talents as individuals, and turns downs all of your suggestions?" He raised his eyebrow, looking at her expectedly.
"Um… yeah, it's like he's trying to relive his old glory days, not giving our chance to shine, I mean sure he let us do our originals songs but that was only one time," she sighed.
"Hey let's practice," he said pointing over to the choir room, which was empty.
"I don't know, we have P.E before we go to glee club," she bit her lips.
"It's only one time, come on, don't you want to hear me sing first before everyone else?" He asked.
"Oh alright, but I don't know if Brad is inside, he's the piano guy," she wondered.
"I play piano, so don't worry about it," he offered, as he opened the door, and they walked in. He made his way towards the piano, setting his backpack right next to Rachel's near the piano, "you ready?"
"I was born ready, and we're doing the complete version, so be ready to sing in Italian," she replied, as Harry began to play.
(Harry/Rachel/Both)
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella se
Oooooh ohh ohh
Rachel couldn't believe the voice that came out of him, it was pure, and soft, but it was a perfect tenor, such force and it looked like he could easily harmonize with anyone paired with him.
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Brittany, Santana, and Puck were all walking by the choir room since P.E was cancelled for some reason, and they were all making their way to the room to just wait, when they heard a beautiful voice, that's when they saw Harry and Rachel singing.
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
La forza che ci dia
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverai
"That was… amazing Harry, you are a perfect singer," Rachel cried out, suddenly there was a sound of people clapping,
"That was some crazy shit you did green eyes," Santana said.
"You sounded like an angel," Brittany announced.
"Dude please tell us you're going to be joining us, cause man with that voice… you could easily replace gigantor, dude's as tone-deaf as a pack mule," Puck called out.
"I told Rachel I'll join, but I don't think Buttchin is going to like it," Harry said.
"Are you sure you're not related to Coach Sue?" Santana asked.
"I'm pretty sure," he replied, suddenly the bell rang and everyone began walking out of classes, after a while everyone was seated then Finn and Will came walking.
"Okay everyone we're only a few… Harry what are you doing here?" Will asked, glaring slightly at the younger boy.
"I'm here to join the club," he said.
"Fine…" Will stated, wanting to see if this boy could make an addition to the backup, he needed his two stars to win this time.
"Hey Rach, about the duet, we'll do that another time, I'm guessing lumps here won't like it," he teased.
"Harry… if you want to join this group, you can't treat your fellow students like that," Will scolded him.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear a word you said because of the serious amount of product in your hair, I swear it like you just put lard in it," he stated in a serious tone, everyone began laughing, aside from Quinn and Finn, he went over to the band and told them what to play. "Alright, this is a song that I overheard on the radio three days ago, when I just arrived, and I thought it might be a great song to sing for y'all," he said as the music began to play.
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
Everyone who didn't hear his voice at first was in utter awe of the purity that he had, it was a very strong tenor that rivaled that of a Rachel's. But it also had such soulfulness that also matched Mercedes' vocal touch, it was a perfect combo of the two with a hint of Kurt and Blaine thrown in for an added bonus.
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Will didn't want to admit it, but the boy had potential, his voice was very well trained, and it could be very versatile, he would make any song justice, he already had him for lead in group number, he may be great, but he already had Finn, who was the perfect image of himself
So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Once he finished the last note, everyone began clapping and cheering.
"That was beautiful Harry!" Rachel called out, causing Finn to feel jealous.
"Way to go white boy!" Mercedes said.
"That was amazing!" Artie cheered.
"That voice can take us to win this shit," Puck grinned.
"Thank you everyone, so Shuster? Am I in or not?" Harry asked, looking over at Will.
"That was amazing Harry, you'll be a great addition, I'm sure I can find a spot for you… alright, like I said earlier," he was immediately interrupted by a cry of other people.
"That's not fair Mr. Schue, he was great, he should have a solo, with him we could actually win," Tina cried out.
"As you know I don't like to give away my solos, but I have to agree, Harry has that star quality that is needed to give us that lead in winning," Rachel said.
"Be that as it may I've decided to give the solo to Rachel, and have both you and Finn sing the duet, this is a perfect plan guys," he said.
"I call bullshit on that dude, Harry is a shit lot better than Pillsbury Dough turd," Santana called out.
"You're just jealous of Finn's perfect tone, Harry is good, but Finn is better," Quinn said, placing a hand on Finn's leg.
"God get a room you two, I swear I'm gonna vom," Santana groaned.
"Everyone, as good as Harry is, we have to consider that Rachel and Finn are the Co-Captains, and they have the leads, now this won't be up for discussion," Will called out. "Now back to what I was saying, Principal Figgins, has given us permission to perform at the Pep Assembly, so I was thinking we could do a Journey song, Open Arms, is a great song, Finn and Rachel could lead," he said.
"As one of the Co-Captains, I call on a special meeting," Rachel said, walking up to the center of the room. "As you know being Co-Captain, I can overrule any director decisions, if I have popular vote, now the whole concept of singing Journey and ruin our rep once more, will be discussed later. For now we will discuss the issue involving Harry Potter, and his role on the New Directions."
"Wait what?" Harry called out.
"Hush, now I call on a vote, all those in favor of replacing Finn with Harry, as Co-Captain, raise your hand," almost everyone raised their hands, while Finn and Will looked at Rachel as if she lost her mind. "All those opposed?" She paused, looking over the room, she smiled, "its official, Harry is the new Co-Captain, so now Harry as Co-Captain we'll have to think up of great ideas for the club," she said.
"But Rachel! I thought you loved me? How could you do this to me?" Finn cried out.
"After you caused us Nationals, your actions as a Co-Captain has been put in question, so now you have been replaced, so just suck it up," she said. "On to pressing matters, everyone who do not want to sing Journey for next week's Pep Assembly, or ever again, raise your hands," only Finn and Quinn didn't raise their hands. "It has been decided that we won't be singing any more Journey Songs anymore," she announced.
"You can't do this Rachel, as the Director, I have complete control over the set list, and if I want you guys to sing a Journey, then you will," Will announced, or more liked whined.
"Actually Nancy, you're just the Co-Director, you share the power with me, and I make all decisions over the set list, or any song choices final," a voice called from behind them, they all turned to see Sue standing there, with a grin on her face.
"Sue, I thought you gave up the position," Will said.
"I made you think I did buttchin, and I agree with hobbit here, your choices of music is as dumb as your hair is greasy, and once again, I am making fun of your ridiculous hair," she said.
"I'm going to take this up with Figgins, let see how you handle that," he warned.
"That idiot won't do crap, and you know it William, so it's best to sit in the corner, and begin taking care of your hair so you can use the grease from it as lube for your work in the corner," she said, Harry was the only one who began laughing loudly.
"That is way out of line Sue!" Will warned her.
"Yeah whatever, I came here with two purposes, one… make fun of you and your hair, check and check," she said, then she pulled out a McKinley sports bag, and threw it over at Harry. "Secondly, you scarhead, congratulations, you've made the team, I want you at practice at 5 in the morning this Monday, and be prepared to suffer." Before anyone could say anything, she turned around and left.
"Well… this was interesting, but I have to eat, so… Potter is out, PEACE," Harry said, grabbing the bag, and his backpack and threw up the peace sign.
"We aren't done!" Will called out.
"I have to think about a song for the assembly, so yeah we're done, now you can all admire the awesomeness that is my ass," he replied, grabbing Rachel, and both walking away from the group and everyone couldn't help but see what Harry was talking about.
"He really does have a great ass," Rory spoke out for the first time.
"Really dude, that's the first thing you're going to say?" Puck teased.
"Oh come on mate, tell me that he doesn't have a great ass?" He challenged.
"Got to hand it to pixie, green eyes has that ass," Santana agreed.
"Very true, it's firm and perky, but it's also very soft," Brittany called out.
"How do you know how his ass feels?" Artie asked, curious but not jealous.
"I asked if I could touch it, and he said sure, said it was a sin if he didn't allow mortals like me to admire the awesomeness that is his ass," she replied.
"Wanky," Santana smirked.
"Alright, so what do we do about the Assembly?" Blaine asked, wanting to stray from talking about Harry's backside, though he too had to admit, that it looked great.
"We could sing a Brittney song," Trent suggested.
"Nah, we did Brittney last year, and it was horrible, and I don't think Coach Sylvester is going to like us doing that again," Santana called out.
"What about blame it on the Alcohol, we never got the chance to sing it," Sam offered his two cents.
"True, but we did that drunk, and I don't think we want a repeat of what happened last time," Artie pointed out.
"How about ABC by the Jackson 5?" Offered mike.
"Nah, we could sing that during sectionals, and we can see if you can get a part," Tina offered.
"We could ask Harry, since I think he'd be more lenient towards having everyone share the spotlight," Mercedes added.
"I like the song Cough Syrup, it's really great, I mean it has a great message," Blaine suggested.
"True, but I mean we really need to think of a huge group number, not just a solo song," Trent added.
"How about we meet up at the Lima Bean tomorrow and decided there, I'll message Rachel, see if she can bring Harry," Sam offered.
"That'd be great, so it's agreed right?" Santana said, they all agreed and began to leave, leaving behind three stunned people.
"What just happened?" Will wondered, as he watched his hopes of finally gaining Emma's love and more money than the Cheerios crash and burn, all because of one foreign student.
