A/N: I've gotten a few responses that I have thoroughly enjoyed and I appreciate immensely. Yes, this is post-Deathly Hallows. Also, if you didn't already know, this is a multi-chapter fic. I'm super excited about it. I think I'm going to add in some Huntbastian and Niff, but I'm not sure yet.


Blaine woke up the next morning with slight confusion as to where he was. It certainly wasn't his bedroom, he thought as he glanced around the wonderfully decorated room. Oh, yeah. He was in Hogwarts. This confusion that had been laced through his features changed into a wide, excited smile and he sat up, glancing across the room to where Wes and David were already awake, standing up and getting changed. Blaine looked around the room again, his eyes stopping on Kurt, who had just woken up.

The dark blue and gold blankets were still draped across Kurt's chest and his hair was fairly messy, but a smile spread across his face. Blaine was automatically drawn to Kurt's eyes, which were sparkling and had a fairly larger amount of green in them today than they did yesterday. On the train, when Blaine first met Kurt, his eyes were grayer, as if they were cloudy and worried. But, today, they were sparkling with greens and blues that made them pop even more. Actually, if Blaine thought about it, Kurt's eyes were looking right at him.

Oh.

Blaine blinked and smiled politely, although a blush spread across his cheeks. Kurt was blushing slightly, as well, and he waved a little before a worried look crossed his face and his hand flew into his hair.

"I need the bathroom immediately." Kurt announced, grabbing one of the many bottles that were sitting in his bag. Blaine chuckled slightly and got out of bed, rubbing his own head tiredly and stretching before getting out his clothes and putting them on as quickly as he could.

"Are you ready, Blaine Anderson, for the tour of a lifetime?" David asked. All Blaine could do was nod as he grinned excitedly.


Kurt walked out of the bathroom 15 minutes later and walked over to pick up his - ugh - robes. After changing, again in the bathroom because he wasn't really comfortable changing out in the open with a bunch of people that he had just met, he walked over to where Wes, David and Blaine were standing and chatting. Blaine spotted him first and gazed at him for a moment before blushing and waving Kurt over.

"We're ready to go if you are. Apparently, there's a lot of school to get through, so it might take two or three days." Blaine said. Wes and David nodded.

"Hogwarts is huge. The designated tours only show you the public stuff that everyone is aloud to go in, but we're going to show you all of it, including the stuff that no one is aloud to see." Wes said, smirking. Kurt glared slightly at the grinning pair.

"If you get us expelled before we even start classes, I won't hesitate to use Avada Kedavra." Kurt commented as he followed them out. Wes and David ignored him, but Blaine snickered.

"I'm sure that the professors would side with us and we'd be fine, based on the stories that they told us yesterday. It doesn't seem like McGonagall likes them very much." Blaine said. Kurt was about to respond when David spoke up.

"We have to stop by the Hufflepuff house to pick up some other newbies that are sixth years and we have to go pick up Hunter and Sebastian from the Slytherin house, if they're awake yet."

"Who are Hunter and Sebastian?" Kurt asked Wes as David walked ahead of them. Wes groaned.

"They're seventh years. They're a couple and they've been going out since their third year. Basically, they're in love with each other. So, they get kind of annoying and can seem kind of intimidating, but they're harmless and they really wanted to help lead our tour. They know all of the passcodes and secret entrances that we don't have a clue about." Wes said.

"Plus, I think they've finally realized that they need to have friends other than each other," David added, snorting.

"Who are we picking up from Hufflepuff?" Blaine asked from his spot next to Kurt, taking the words right out of Kurt's mouth.

"Nick and Jeff. They both transferred for the same reason that you two transferred, but we don't have the same problem with them that we do with you. They got together on the train. Apparently, they couldn't take their eyes off of each other, and that Dominic kid brought his soulmate finder thing, so they found out that they were meant to be." David said.

"But, you two are still to oblivious to realize your emotions." Wes added, shaking his head. Kurt blushed bright red and didn't chance looking at Blaine.

As they approached the Hufflepuff house door, they spotted two boys, one with shaggy blonde hair and one with dark brown hair, holding hands and smiling dopily at each other. Wes raised his eyebrows at Kurt and Blaine, who were avoiding looking at each other.

"See? This is your future. I'm just saying." Wes said, gesturing to the boys. Kurt ignored him and stepped in front of the two boys before holding out his hand.

"Hi! I'm Kurt Hummel. I'm new here, too. Apparently, I'm here for the same reason you are." Kurt said, adding the last part on as an afterthought of how nervous he was to meet people yesterday. The one with blonde hair smiled and shook his hand.

"I'm Jeff. It's nice to meet you." the boy - Jeff, Kurt reminded himself - said.

"I'm Nick. I'm glad that we aren't the only ones who transferred this year." Nick said, smiling and shaking Kurt's hand. Kurt smiled politely and his mind flickered to Blaine.

"Blaine transferred for the same reason, too, actually." Kurt said, gesturing for Blaine - who was still blushing from earlier - to come join the conversation. Blaine walked over immediately and stood next to Kurt before introducing himself.

"Are you two a couple, too?" Jeff asked Blaine and Kurt, his voice excited. Blaine coughed a little and Kurt's blush came back, full force, but David was the one to answer the question.

"Not yet," David answered, and Wes nodded before adding to it.

"We're working on it."

Nick laughed at the expression on Kurt's face, which was nothing short of embarrassed. Blaine had his face buried in his hands and he changed the subject quickly.

"Are you ready to go?" Blaine asked, glaring at Wes and David. They nodded in unison and started to walk.

"We still have to pick up Sebastian and Hunter, though. So, before the tour begins, we're heading to the Slytherin house." Wes said, leading the way. Nick and Jeff followed closely behind Wes and David, but Kurt trailed a little farther behind as he took in their surroundings.

Kurt still wasn't used to the beauty of Hogwarts. Sure, some of the color schemes were a little... out there (black and yellow? Really? They were wizards, not bumblebees), but it was still so beautifully decorated and it had so many antiques and wondrous things that drew Kurt's constant attention and caused him to gaze at the walls and the floors and the decorations, awestruck by just how lucky he was to be going to such a prestigious wizard academy. It was such a drastic change from McKinley and Kurt couldn't be happier.

As all of these thoughts ran through his mind, Kurt glanced around the hall and noticed a couple kissing. Immediately, the visual made him flinch and he had a flashback to an image that he hadn't thought about since before the train ride yesterday. Karofsky flashed into his brain and he realized he was now shaking and gasping for air, tears stinging his now-closed eyes. At the same moment, he felt someone's hands on his arm and remembered that Blaine had been walking next to him.


"Kurt? You aren't there, you're here, you're in Hogwarts. Whatever it is, you're okay now. You're safe." Blaine whispered so that he didn't draw too much attention.

Blaine had been through many panic attacks in his past and he knew what a painful flashback looked like, so he knew how to fix it. The whispers of reassurance seemed to pull Kurt out and the boy opened his noticeably grayer eyes that were filled with terrified, unshed tears. The look of pure fear that was plastered on Kurt's face made Blaine's heart break a little and he remembered how terrifying panic attacks and flashbacks were for people, so he wrapped his arms around Kurt in a tight hug. Blaine didn't really care if he was stepping over the boundaries, all he knew was that Kurt was afraid, that Kurt was terrified, and that Kurt needed some kind of reassurance. Apparently, the boundaries were not overstepped, because Kurt let out a choked sob and held on to Blaine tightly as a few tears escaped. Blaine whispered into his ear the things that Blaine used to yearn to hear when he had attacks like this, and he looked up to see an understanding Nick and Jeff and a confused Wes and David. Jeff seemed to have explained the situation to the confused boys, who nodded at Blaine and gestured down the hallway to where they were headed. Blaine waved at them before turning his attention back to Kurt, who was now pulling away and looking extremely embarrassed.

"I, uh, I'm sorry. I just... Uhm. Yeah. Sorry." Kurt said, wiping the tears off of his face and looking down at the ground in a manor that Blaine comprehended as Kurt mentally kicking himself. Blaine shook his head and took Kurt's hand reassuringly.

"Never apologize for a panic attack or a flashback. Never apologize needing someone to help you through it." Blaine said, a determined look in his features. Kurt looked up, a look of pure awe and gratefulness on his face, and he squeezed Blaine's hand a little before speaking.

"Thank you." Kurt said. His voice was quiet and painfully earnest, so much so that it told Blaine that no one had ever cared enough before to tell him that or to help him. Just that alone broke Blaine's heart even more.

"It was no problem. I know they can be really scary and embarrassing if you're in public." Blaine said. Kurt nodded.

"I normally have one every 3 days. The last one I had was a lot quicker and less forceful. It was just a tiny flashback, but I pulled myself out of it. I was in my room packing, so there was no one there to notice." Kurt explained, his voice gloomy.

Blaine frowned at this and stepped towards Kurt again, hugging him once more in an effort to make him feel a little better. Kurt must have needed it, because he held on just as tightly as last time and didn't let go for another minute or so. When they finally pulled away from each other, the mood was lighter and Blaine gestured towards the Slytherin house that was right down the hall.

"Ready to go on our amazing, totally awesome tour?" Blaine said sarcastically, grinning. Kurt snorted.

"It's going to be a long two days." Kurt replied, but the look on his face showed that he was genuinely excited.


"Ah, so this must be Kurt and Blaine." A tall boy with light brown hair said, his smirk mischievous but his tone polite.

"You are correct. I'm Blaine." Blaine said from his spot next to Kurt, holding out his hand to shake the boy's.

"Sebastian Smythe. It's nice to meet you." Sebastian said. The boy who was standing next to him held out his own hand and shook Blaine's.

"I'm Hunter Clarington. Stick with us and nobody will mess with you, I guarantee it." Hunter said, shaking Blaine's hand. Kurt took this as a cue to introduce himself, which he did.

"Are you guys ready to go now?" David asked. He seemed quieter to Kurt, but when he looked at Blaine in confusion, Blaine just shrugged.

"I think we are." Kurt said, smiling. Blaine nodded and sent Wes a look that Kurt didn't understand, but Wes nodded shortly and muttered something to David, who also nodded.

"Alright. There's a lot of castle to get through. Let's go!"


A/N: Next chapter, tour. The next chapter will probably be more Harry Potter themed, but I think it's only fair, considering this one was more Glee-based. I'll be updating as often as possible, which will be a lot more often now that I'm almost done with the other fics I've been working on. I loved your reviews last time, so please keep reviewing!
