Puck's chapter! I'm really happy about this and how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm pretty sure Lily Potter will have her own chapter next time, and we will show the trip to Hogwarts which is always exciting. Have fun reading this!
It was no secret that Noah Puckerman was the very definition of a player. He'd done his best to at least attempt to get with every girl in the school. His short lived flings with Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Santana Lopez, Rose Weasley, Brittany Pierce, Alice Longbottom, and even Lauren Zizes were a very strong indication that he could pretty much get any chick he wanted. Except, there was one girl who didn't want him, and that was Quinn Fabray.
It all started in their second year of Hogwarts when, like Puck, the girls were starting to hit puberty. He couldn't help but notice that puberty had been extremely good to the girl. She had grown into her body in ways Puck hadn't known were possible, and her baby fat was to a minimum, something that couldn't be said about most of the other girls.
Sadly, many of the other boys were noticing Quinn as well. She wasn't interested in any of them, though. The girl was always far too caught up in her studies to have the time of day for boys like Puckerman. Even with his epically cool hair, and amazing upper arm strength.
"Quinn, when will you see that we're perfect for each other?" Puck asked one day after approaching her in the great hall. She was sitting with Santana Lopez discussing the advantages of hair straightening spells.
"I don't really see it, Noah," She told him sternly. Her eyes were cold and unforgiving, much like her heart. "You're a Gryffindor, I'm a Slytherin. You're blood line is flawed, mine is perfect."
"All that stuff doesn't matter! You and I, we're the same," If Puck were less bad-ass he might have sounded almost desperate. "We both know we're better than all these other people. We both know were were meant for something more."
"You're sweet," Quinn told him softly, "But you're really just not my type."
Puck let his head fall in shame as he stomped back to the Gryffindor table, where Sam and Finn sat waiting for his return.
"Dude, how'd it go?" Sam asked, sounding eager. Finn on the other hand, looked nervous for Puck's answer, and uncomfortable about sitting at the wrong house table, though no one really thought anything of it. Kurt had often traveled to the Hufflepuff table to mingle with Mercedes.
"She said I wasn't her type," Puck spat at them, straightening the robes in the process. He'd never been good with rejection, not that he had to deal with it often.
"That sucks, buddy," Finn said, clapping him on the back. Puck noticed, however, that Finn didn't look sorry at all for his friend. In fact, Puck would venture to say that his friend looked mildly pleased.
Puckerman eventually let the Slytherin go though, deciding that one day she'd realize just how badly she wanted him. When Finn and the girl began dating during their third year, though, Puck's quest for the girl grew even stronger.
"Hey man, what the hell?" Puck had been waiting outside the Hufflepuff common room for the better part of an hour until for the taller boy to finally came out.
"What?" Finn looked around, confused at the sight of his friend.
"Since when have you been interested in Quinn?" Puck asked, moving towards Finn to emphasize his anger.
"I've always liked Quinn!" Finn told the Gryffindor quickly, holding his hands out to protect himself.
"Really? Then why'd you wait so long to ask her out?" Puck's features were hard and his voice sounded lower than usual.
"I wanted to make sure you were over her. You and Santana have been together for over a month now. I thought it'd be okay," Finn explained. He looked at Puck sadly, causing the shorter boy to back off a little.
"Yeah, right. I am over her. I just, I wanted to..." Puck trailed off, suddenly feeling stupid for getting so angry at his friend. Quinn was just some blonde bitch anyway. He was sure she wouldn't ever put out anyway. Santana was a much better girlfriend for him than Quinn.
"We cool man?" Finn asked, holding out his fist for Puck to bump.
"Yeah, we're cool."
Really though, Puckerman was just bidding his time. Finn and Quinn often got into stupid little fights, mainly about his strange friendship with Rachel Berry. Ever since she'd began helping him in potions they'd spent a lot of time together, and Puck often thought he caught Finn staring at Rachel's ass when it seemed like no one was looking.
Once Quinn had gotten so fed up with him that they broke up. This was at the end of fourth year. It was only for about three days, but in that time Rachel and Finn had made out. When they got back together, Puckerman decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Berry, come here and talk to me for a minute," Puck called to her one day during passing period. He hadn't exactly enjoyed the girls company, but she was hot enough, and she would most likely make Finn jealous enough to act on it.
"Yes, Noah? What is it?" Rachel asked, sounding annoyed and slightly afraid. Puck didn't usually speak to people as annoying as Rachel.
"You and Finn, what happened with you guys?" Rachel stiffened at his words and then let out an exasperated "huff".
"You and him are "homeboys" aren't you? Shouldn't you know?" Rachel questioned him, her voice raised far too loud for comfort.
"Look, just talk to me, okay?" Puck asked, looking deeply into the girls eyes. When she kept her mouth shut she could actually look pretty hot.
"Oh, alright," Rachel told him, but when they walked off into an abandoned corridor they didn't actually get much talking done. Rachel seemed kind of desperate, and Puckerman's special was desperate girls.
"What the hell man!" Finn asked Puckerman, sitting down next to him at the Gryffindor table. Both Sam and Puck lifted their heads too look at him. Finn lowered his voice.
"You made out with Rachel, dude?" Finn said, sounding more disappointed then angry.
"Yeah, what's it too you?" Puck responded, rolling his eyes at the boy.
"You can't just do that to her, okay? She's fragile."
"Like what you did was any better. She told me what happened with you guys after you and Quinn's little fight. Sounds to me like a lot of the pot calling the kettle black," Puck said, pushing Finn a little.
"Are you trying to call me racist, because you know that's not true!" Finn said indignantly.
"No, idiot. It means you're being a hypocrite. If anyone's messing with Rachel's feelings it's you, not me!" Puck yelled at him, standing up from the table, grabbing his bag, and walking toward the Slytherin's.
"Hey, Rachel, I'll walk you to class, okay?" Puck said, tapping her on the shoulder and helping her up. Quinn, Santana, and Kurt all stared in awe as he did so.
"See you around ladies, Kurt," Puck told them with a nod, and Rachel just smiled brightly as they began walking away. He could just make out Finn's angry expression from across the great hall.
Puck's plan didn't work out as well as he'd originally planned, but after time Quinn had discovered Finn's dirty secret at Puckerman's hand. Rachel wouldn't have sex with him, so he couldn't keep the relationship up, no matter how jealous it had made Finn.
"Quinn, how are you doing on this fine day?" Puck whispered in her ear after he'd speed up his pace to walk with her.
"For the last time Noah, no! I'm dating Finn," Quinn told him at once, though she had a hit of a smile on her perfect lips.
"That's not what I was asking," Puck said defensively, looking down at the girl in disbelieve.
"You would have gotten there eventually." Quinn stared at him knowingly, daring him to deny it. He realized he couldn't.
"I just don't understand why you're with him," Puck exclaimed, slowing them down to a stop. Quinn shook his hand off her shoulder but didn't continue walking.
"He's sweet to me, and I know he'd never hurt me. He's-"
"He made out with Rachel," Puck said before he could stop himself. He didn't really want to sell out a bro like that, but he couldn't think of another option.
"What?" Quinn yelled, causing a few students to turn and look at them. Puck looked around, and sighed.
"Do you want to talk about his after dinner or something?" He asked he, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"No, I want to talk about this right now!" Quinn looked slightly insane, which Puck had to admit, kind of turned him one.
"Alright, just, come with me then!" Puck took her hand and led her through random corridors until they finally stood outside the Gryffindor common room. He said the password easily and they both walked inside.
"What exactly happened?" Asked Quinn, he voice more calm then before. She obviously didn't like for anyone to see her unhinged. Puck could relate to that.
"When you guys got in that fight last month, Rachel told me they fooled around."
"I can't believe he'd do that to me," Quinn muttered to herself in disbelief. She had her back turned to Puck, so when he hugged her from behind she jumped a little in surprise.
"I know a good way to get back at him," Puck told her softly, and she thought for a few long moments before turning around to face him.
"Yeah, okay. Lets do it," Quinn said, allowing Puck to take her hands and walk her up the stairs.
Puck wasn't trying to be a bad friend when he slept with Quinn, he just thought Finn needed justice. He couldn't hurt a girl like Quinn and get away with it. Puckerman didn't ever even expect Finn to find out, until Quinn sent him a letter one day during their summer break. Puckerman was sitting in his bedroom playing an exceedingly violent video game when the owl tapped gently on his window.
"God damn it!" Puck yelled, throwing his controller aside and running toward his wind. He pulled it open and allowed the owl to fly in. "Calm down. Let me get that note!"
Puck grabbed the owl forcefully and pulled the piece of paper from it's leg. He recognized Quinn's steady scrawl at once.
Puck, I'm not really sure how to tell you this but... I'm pregnant. You're the father. I've known for a couple weeks and I should have told you sooner, but- I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Please, don't tell Finn. I have to talk to him about it, I just don't know when. I don't expect you to help me with anything, I just thought you should know.
Puckerman stared at the letter for a long time, unsure how to respond. His eyes read and reread the words over and over again until he had the whole thing completely memorized and then carefully pulled out a sheet of paper and a quill.
Quinn, I'm no dead beat. I may not be the smartest guy out there, but I'm more than my father ever was and I'll be damned if I'm not going to be a better father than that slime ball. I'll be there for you. I promise.
He sent the letter off without a second thought, knowing full well he was doing the right thing. No one ever really understood how he of all people managed to get into Gryffindor, but the thing about Puck was that he would do anything for someone he loved. He wasn't afraid of anything, and there was no way he wouldn't step up to the plate when someone needed him. Especially a girl and her unborn child.
Finn wouldn't be this brave of a man, Puck thought, picking up his video game controller from the corner of his room. He's just a stupid Hufflepuff. Quinn needs a real man. Puck intended to be that man as soon as they all returned to Hogwarts. Quinn Fabray would, after all, finally be his.
Little did Puck know, that far off, in another house, Finn Hudson was sitting in his room reading over a letter that shocked him more than anything ever had in his life. He wasn't sure how Quinn had gotten pregnant, considering they'd never had sex. She assured him in her letter that some kind of magic must have accidentally happened while they were in a heavy make-out session one day, though Finn didn't know if that was possible. He did know, however, that he had a baby to help raise with Quinn and he would do anything for her, because that was the kind of guy he was.
Quinn, I'll be there for you no matter what. If you need me to help you raise this baby I can. I'd do anything for you. I love you with all of my heart, and I hope you know that. Please write me back. Let me know you're okay.
With love, Finn
I changed the pregnant thing around a lot. I'm a really huge Quick shipper, so I had to. It also adds more character to my story, which will end up being completely different from Glee right now. I'm just beginning it with similar story lines. I feel like it makes the whole thing less confusing. I also have a special place in my heart for PuckelBerry, so I might bring that back eventually. Finchel will happen soon, though. And more Klaine is coming up too, because I know you miss them. I do too. Review maybe? That'd be cool.
