An Unjust Society
Breathing in and out, in and out. Kurt repeated these words in his head like a prayer, if he didn't Kurt would forget to breathe and probably die.
Kurt made sure his branded M on his neck is visible, by wizard law it is compulsory for a witch or wizard to have their brand visible. Kurt has an M for Muggle born or Mud blood as most people call them, which was branded there on his neck when he was just eleven years old.
Some would say that is disgusting child abuse but this is 1945 and there are rules. Kurt's dad Burt almost lost his shit when he found out, but Kurt knew that's the price you pay if you want to become a wizard. It's not like they discriminate the Purebloods and Half-bloods get branded too, either with a P or an H. You are the best if you're a pureblood but there aren't much of them left so the half bloods are pretty well accepted into society too. It's the Muggle born who aren't really accepted or seen as the race to be looked down upon.
Taking another deep breath Kurt walked out of the train station's bathroom and found his dad waiting outside.
'Hey Kurt you ready for another year at Hogwarts? Can't believe you're in your sixth year already, making me feel old kid,' Burt teased, he doesn't understand how tough and terrifying school is for Kurt. Kurt couldn't tell him or Burt might complain or do something which could endanger his life. Wizards have no respect or empathy for muggle's, and Kurt just couldn't deal with losing both parents. Burt has more courage than sense.
'Hey dad you aren't going to walk be right to the train are you?' Kurt grimaced trying to make it sound more like an embarrassing teenager thing.
'Alright kid I get it but at least hug me now before going through to the platform then ill leave,' Burt hugged Kurt tight after Kurt checked for Hogwarts students.
Kurt detangled himself from Burt saying a quick goodbye before rushing through the brick wall between platforms nine and ten.
Kurt flash backed to his first year of Hogwarts when he made it to the station he didn't know how to find platform nine and three quarters. Kurt had made the mistake of asking a pureblood family while his parents walked frantically up and down the station.
Kurt had only asked because the beautiful boy with dark curly hair had such kind golden brown eyes.
'Excuse me b-b-but I see you have an owl and I wondered how to get to platform n-nine and three quarters,' Kurt stuttered.
'Obviously a mud blood isn't he Jane,' the father sneered turning to his wife.
'Listen here boy you don't belong at Hogwarts if you cant even find the bloody platform, you are muggle born you have no magic stop wasting your time and go to a regular dull school,' and with that the father steered his family away.
Kurt was about to do just that when the little curly haired boy with eyes like honey came running back.
'Just run through the brick wall between platforms nine and ten,' he whispered before running back to his family yelling about finding something he dropped in the area.
Even though Kurt thought this to be the stupidest thing you could ever do he trusted that beautiful boy.
Kurt brought himself back to the present day as he strode nervously through the familiar brick wall.
Once on the other side and safely in a segregated carriage for muggle born students, Kurt peered through the window until he found him, that stunning curly haired boy who is still so gorgeous, Blaine Anderson.
Kurt had not spoken to Blaine again since that first time because Blaine is of pure blood status, it is almost forbidden for him to interact with a muggle born like Kurt. Every once in a while though when no one is around Blaine would smile, or brush his arm against Kurt's. Kurt spent a lot of time in the library to escape and somehow more often than not he would see Blaine in there too sneaking glances, not even reading the random book he plucked off the shelf about the different female animal species and how they spawn children.
Kurt liked to imagine that Blaine is completely in love with him and one day he would declare his love for Kurt not caring about the stupid blood status. But Kurt knew this would never happen and not just because of the blood status, or that homosexuality is a sin, but because Blaine is not gay and he has a very annoying girlfriend also of pureblood status, Rachel Berry.
Kurt didn't think it good to dwell on impossible dreams so he studied a lot instead. Kurt happened to be the top student in his year. Something that really pissed off a lot of people especially those of a higher status.
'Hey,' Kurt looked up to see Mercedes another M slip into the compartment.
'Hi,' Kurt murmured before turning back to the window where he can see Noah Puckerman getting his ass kicked by Tom Riddle's gang. Puck is one of the only muggle born's who isn't afraid to stand up to pure or half blood's. He is a boy who came from nothing he doesn't value his own life, which makes him ruthless.
'That boy cannot keep out of trouble,' Mercedes's sighed.
The ride to Hogwarts was a long and boring one, Kurt slept through most of the journey, while Mercedes cleaned Puck's wounds.
Kurt patted a thestral before getting in the carriage that took him up to the castle.
Kurt waited patiently for the sorting to be finished as well as dinner to be served and then taken away, finally once it was Headmaster Dippet stood up to speak.
Kurt sat as patiently in his seat as he could at the back of the Gryffindor table.
'Welcome student's to another year at Hogwarts, I am sure you are all very excited to have a year of learning how to become great witches and wizards. I'm sure this year will be even better than the last so long as you all stay In your place, you know the rules,' Headmaster looked sternly at all the muggle born's at the back as he said this.
Kurt rolled his eyes you would think we are all devils spawn or something with the words trouble tattooed across our foreheads.
Kurt lay awake that night unable to sleep, furious and reeling over this whole inequality issue as he did most nights. Some may wonder why Kurt didn't just go to a normal school for muggle's where he might fit in better, but Kurt knew he would never fit in anywhere and at least here he could make a difference. Kurt has to fight for future generations of muggle born witches and wizards. Kurt knows he must help make a difference in this unjust society.
