Author's Note: Aloha. So this is my first ever fanfic :D Super excited to finally be uploading something, took me a while to think of an idea, anyways, this is a Glee/Harry Potter crossover fanfic. I'll be mentioning most of the Glee characters from the show but I won't be including the Hogwarts students from the books instead I will simply keep the following characters: Dumbledore, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape and perhaps a few others depending on where the story goes... The story starts with Santana and the other Glee characters as first-years and obviously, it's in Santana's POV. There are a few details I have changed, like Finn and Kurt are already step-brothers even though they're only eleven but nothing huge. So, I hope you enjoy, here you go :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee-Ryan Murphy does-unfortunately :( And the whole Harry Potter universe belongs to the aweshum J. so I guess I don't own that either... :(
The Journey to Hogwarts
Santana was pretty sure that the annoying dark-haired girl sitting opposite her had been talking constantly since the train had pulled away from King's Cross Station 6 and a half hours ago. More than once Santana had had to fight the urge not to go ALL Lima Heights on her but she remembered that she had promised her Dad that she wouldn't do anything stupid and she knew her Mum would be disappointed if she got expelled before the end of the first week, so she had rolled her eyes and tried her best to ignore the girl as much as she could. It was hard. She had told Santana her whole life story, in detail, within the first hour of the journey and then spent the other 5 and a half hours talking about her two obsessions-musical theatre and her voice. Santana had found out that the girl was called Rachel Berry, she had two gay dads, she had been born in America but moved to England when she was 7 and she was muggle-born. Figures, Santana had thought, most witches and wizards hadn't even heard of musical theatre, she was pretty sure Rachel was gonna get a lot of weird looks when they reached Hogwarts. Thankfully, Santana hadn't been stuck all on her own with Rachel, they were sitting with 2 boys as well, Finn and Kurt. They were brothers, well step-brothers, which made more sense, they were kinda the complete opposite of each other. Finn had wanted to explain the rules of Quidditch to Rachel but Kurt had immediately interrupted as soon as he discovered that Rachel shared his obsession with musical theatre. Santana had to admit she was surprised that Kurt even knew what musical theatre was, she thought she was one of the few people who actually came from a wizard family to have heard of musical theatre and this was only because her Mum kinda had an obsession with Muggle musicals, turns out Kurt's mum had also had this obsession, at least before she had been killed in a freak accident whilst experimenting on a idea for a new potion, Kurt had explained that his mum had been a very inventive witch. Santana had felt awkward when Kurt had causally bought it up in the conversation, she didn't like feeling sorry for people, especially people she didn't know. So she was relieved when Rachel, naturally, filled the silence.
For the rest of the journey Rachel and Kurt talked non-stop about various musicals, some of which Santana was familiar with, although she'd never admit that out loud. Finn had tried to talk to her once or twice but she had quickly shot him down with some particularly hilarious insults, he seemed like a douchebag and Santana couldn't be bothered with douchebags. She sighed as she remembered exactly what her Dad has said to her before she got her and her trunk onto the Hogwarts Express, 'Sanny, don't do anything stupid. Work hard but have a great time, you'll love it!' he had told her, 'And remember, be nice, try to make some friends.' Try to make some friends. That wasn't going well so far. Everyone she had met either talked too much or were, in Finn's case, simply a douchebag. 'Ugh, there's got to be someone cool in my year.' Santana thought to herself, frustrated. She looked out of the window, it was dark outside now but Santana could see the huge castle that they were getting closer and closer to every second. She couldn't help but let her mouth drop open to form a little 'o' shape, it was better than her Mum had described it. The whole castle looked like it was glowing, there were candles lighting up every window, really there was no other word to describe it but magical. Honestly, Santana had never seen anything quite as beautiful as Hogwarts and judging by the looks on all the other first-year's faces neither had they. She decided she'd better change into her robes now since nearly everyone else already had.
Soon enough they had reached their destination and Santana decided it would probably be best to stick with Finn, Kurt and Rachel, at least that way she wouldn't get lost...
"FIRST YEARS OVER 'ERE!" She heard a booming voice call out, she looked over and saw a huge man with a dark beard gesturing all the first-years over to him.
"Oh my gosh, he must be half-giant!" She heard Rachel squeal. Santana rolled her eyes, "Nothing like pointing out the obvious Berry..." She couldn't stop herself replying. But Rachel wasn't even paying any attention; she was still too busy gawping at the gigantic man standing in front of them.
"NO MORE THAN FOUR TO A BOAT!" The man called out, pointing at the little boats waiting for the students on the edge of the lake.
"Do you wanna come with us Santana?" Kurt asked her with a smile. Santana groaned inwardly at the prospect of having to spend another half an hour with the 3 kids in a small boat but she sighed, after all, she didn't have anyone else to go with... "Erm, yeah sure." She replied, trying to offer a smile to show she appreciated the offer. They all clambered awkwardly onto the boat, Finn was ridiculously tall for an 11-year-old so he took up most of the room, leaving the rest of them squashed uncomfortably against each other, trying to concentrate on not falling out of the boat. "Ugh, are you sure you're not half-giant yourself Finn?" Santana said sarcastically. Finn just looked back at her, a confused and slightly scared look painted on his face. Santana could see a small smirk on Kurt's face; at least someone could appreciate her sense of humour...
There was just silence as all 4 of them stared up at the castle they were soon going to be living in, it really was beautiful. The boat had almost rowed them across the lake to the outside of the castle and they began to stand up slowly, ready to get out as soon as the boat stopped. The boats came to a halt at a small underground harbour and Santana immediately jumped out, almost slipping onto the rocks and pebbles. The giant man was already walking up a flight of stone steps that led up to a huge, oak door, one of the many entrances to Hogwarts.
"HURRY UP YER SLOWCOACHES!" His voice echoed out. Santana waited back for Kurt and the others; she hated the idea of being stuck on her own more than the idea of being stuck with Rachel at the moment so she didn't have much choice.
When all the first-years had finally gathered at the top of the stairs the man-who Santana had heard some other kids call Hagrid-knocked slowly, three times on the grand door. The door opened to reveal a strict-looking witch, dressed in dark green robes, Santana definitely heard some of the other first-years gulp, which made Santana smirk, what a bunch of babies... "Follow me." The witch simply shouted out and she lead them into a huge entrance hall with a door to the right that Santana assumed led to the Great Hall due to all the voices she could hear coming from behind it. The witch welcomed them to Hogwarts, introduced herself as Professor McGonagall and began explaining the Sorting Ceremony and the four school houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin to them. Santana blanked out a little and stopped listening; her Mum had explained it all to her before. Santana secretly hoped that she would be sorted into Ravenclaw, like her Mum, but she'd always had a nagging feeling that she might get put into Slytherin, like her Dad and everyone on his side of the family, and although she was sure her Dad wasn't evil she knew that's where the most evil witches and wizards usually went... Santana didn't even notice when Professor McGonagall started quickly organising them into a line and before she could get anymore nervous about the ceremony the massive doors to the Great Hall had been opened and they were being led in, two by two, in alphabetical order.
I hope you liked the first chapter, I haven't got a strict idea of where this is going yet, I've only really got an idea of what I'm gonna do for the next few chapters so any ideas are welcome, you can PM me :) Also, reviews would be really aweshum, I just wanna see if there's anyone who likes what I've written and wants me to continue. :3
