A/N: Hi guys :):) I'm watching A Very Potter Sequal, as I'm uploading this, so I'm feeling pretty totally awesome :) Haha.

Alright. Before I begin I have something to confess. I'm fourteen years old (fifteen in five months). I really am still learning how to write. This is why I really want feedback/constructive critism for this story. I've written quite a few fanfic's before, but I'm actually really trying to make this one good, so if you guys have ANY things you want to point out, or problems with my writing or whatever, I'm cool with it. Seriously. Please let me know.

Okay. Now that that's over...

Thank you to everybody who has read this story so far - and especially those who have reviewed. I love all of you, and the reviews, honestly, make my day :D

SnazzMaster842: Thank you :D I am so glad you liked it. I love putting in all the AVPM references too, and I sometimes worry that they aren't as humorous to others as they are to me, so it's nice to hear somebody likes them too XD Hehe, quick enough update for you ;)

buddygirl1004: Don't worry, Klaine is still and always will be endgame. Sorry, this chapter may or may not have Hevans in it... *hides under a rock for shelter*. It'll be over soon, I promise!

Juliette Hummel-Anderson: Thank you so much for pointing that out! I tried to fix it up in this chapter, so I hope it's better. Thanks a million XD

Blueeyedprincess100: People really like Draco/Rachel don't they? Haha, I'll consider it. I can't make Jesse cheat on Rachie though (I love him too much), but if there is enough people wanting Rachel/Draco I'll try and make it happen :D:D

ChroniclesofNarniaGoTandSJA ChroniclesofNarniaGoTandSJA: Thanks for reviewing :) Yeah, not many people like Sam, huh? (LOL I shouldn't expect you to - it's a Klaine story!). Glad you like Blaine - he's my favourite 3

ONE LAST THING: WHY DOES NOBODY LIKE JESSE? My own sister was reading this and she said that she liked it - EXCEPT JESSE. What is it that you guys don't like (so that I can change it)? Or do you just not like him, in general? Should I kill him off? (not even kidding...)

Sorry for the lengthy A/N. Hope you enjoy the story :D:D:D HAPPY READING - xxPoppy


"Hummel, Potter, Weasley! Will you pay attention!" McGonagall snapped at the three best friends who were engaged in a sword fight with their wands. Embarrassed, they pocketed their wands and turned their attention back on their teacher who was addressing their class.

"Now that Hummel, Potter and Weasley have been kind enough to act their age," She shot them all angry glares, "I have something to say to you all. The Yule Ball is approaching – a traditional part of the Hexwizard tournament and an opportunity to socialise with our foreign guests. Dress Robes will be worn and the ball will start at eight o'clock on Christmas Day, finishing at midnight, in the Great Hall." As the bell rang McGonagall wrapped up her speech, "Now just because this is an opportunity to err… let our hair down" Laughter "it does not mean that we will tolerate any less than perfect behaviour. If any Gryffindor students embarrass Hogwarts by acting inappropriately, I will make it my duty to personally punish you. Now, Hummel I need to see you. Everyone else you may go."

Everyone gathered there things and left, leaving Kurt with his head of house.
"You wanted to see me, Professor?" Kurt said, approaching her desk. She nodded.
"Hummel, the champions and their partners-"
"Wait" Kurt interrupted her, "partners?"
"Yes," Professor McGonagall glared at him "Your partners. Your dance partners:" Oh. She meant dates… "Well, traditionally the champions and their partners open the ball."
"Oh," Kurt said.
"Yes. Now, I believe that I can rely on you to bring a date, Hummel and dance… well…"
"I can dance, Professor." Kurt assured her. Professor McGonagall let out a sigh of relief.
"Well then. That's good. We'll be giving everyone dancing lessons, anyway. Thank you, Hummel, you may go" She excused him.

As Kurt left the room his thoughts were full of Sam. He wondered whether or not they would be allowed to go together…


For the rest of the week the Yule Ball was all anybody could talk of.

"Who did you want to go with, Harry?" Kurt asked his friend as they sat together at dinner.
"Uhm… I dunno." Harry blushed. Ron nudged Kurt
"Harry's in love with Tina Cohen Chang," Ron whispered "She's in Ravenclaw." Kurt glanced over to where Ron was pointing. Sitting down were three very pretty girls, who he presumed were Cho and her best friends.
"Reckon we should set them up?" Kurt whispered back. Ron nodded.
"Lets go." he said.

They made their way over to where Cho and her friends were sitting.
"Conichuwa, Tina Cohen Chang" Kurt bowed respectively to the pretty Asian. The girl looked him up and down with a bitch, please expression.
"Bitch, I aint Tina Cohen Chang" She snapped her fingers sassily.
"Racist brother!" Ron yelled, smacking him on the head "That's Lavender Brown! That's Tina Cohen Chang" He guestured to the pretty southern looking girl sitting beside her.
"Oh, sorry." Kurt apologised, sending Ron a glare as he rubbed his hair. How the hell was he supposed to know that the girl with the Asian name wasn't actually Asian.
"Howdy, Kurt Humme.l" Tina Cohen Chang greeted him happily, her voice dripping in a southern accent.
"Hi," Kurt said "I was wondering… do you have a date to the Yule Ball?" Tina laughed.
"Sorry hun, but I gots my eye on somebody else." She winked. Kurt opened his mouth in protest.
"Oh I wasn't-" Ron nudged him.
"That's cool." Ron said casually "He's used to rejection." Kurt gaped as Ron pulled him from the table of giggling girls.

"What the hell?" Kurt asked when he was a fair distance away from the Ravenclaw table.
"We just found out she likes Harry!" Ron said happily, "She's 'gots her eye on somebody' – Harry!" Kurt's eyes widened and he fist bumped Ron.
"Lets go tell him" Kurt said, excitedly.


"Hey Sam, who do you think the ugliest girl in school is?" Draco asked his brother as they lounged in the Slytherin common room.
"Uh…" Sam considered this "Winky." He decided. Draco thought about it.
"Hmm true…" He turned to his sister "Who do you think, Quinnie?"
"Buckbeak" She said decidedly.
"True, true" Draco agreed "Obscure… well do you know who I think the ugliest girl at Hogwarts is? Hermione Granger." He said, "If I had to put her on a scale of one to ten – with one being really ugly, and ten being beautiful, I'd give her… a seven and a half. No… an eight. But definitely no higher than a nine point eight, there's always room for improvement!" Sam snorted.
"Jesus, Draco. If you like her so much why don't you ask her?" Sam asked.
"I wouldn't be caught dead with that mudblood. Besides, I'm taking Santana Lopez." He announced proudly. Quinn wrinkled her nose.
"Ew" She said, disgustedly.
"Who're you taking, Quinn?" Sam asked.
"Victor Krum" She announced promptly.
"Did he ask you?" Sam asked.
"No" Quinn said off handedly "Well… not yet" Sam chuckled.
"Who're you taking?" Draco asked Sam, who blushed, thinking of the boy he wanted to take.
"I don't know yet…" He said. Quinn smirked.
"But you know who you want to take" She pushed.
"Well…yeah" Sam admitted.
"Who?" Quinn asked, excited.
"Kurt Hummel" Sam said quietly. Quinn and Draco frowned.
"Sam…" Quinn said quietly, "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?" Sam asked with a frown "He's my boyfriend… well… sort of"
"Dad won't be happy…" Sam frowned.
"What's dad got to do with any of this?" He demanded.
"He's going to be there" Draco told him "He's the guest judge for the second challenge." Quinn informed him.
"Why is this the first I've heard of this?" Sam demanded.
"We only just found out this morning," Quinn said, "And look… Sam… he doesn't even know that you're… you know… he won't like it. He'll… he'll make sure Kurt doesn't get through to the third round." Sam realised that they were right. He just didn't want to believe it.
"I guess your right," He admitted with a deep sigh, "But who else can I take?" He asked
"Sam," Draco said with a snort, "We'll get you somebody"

Sam sighed. He wasn't so sure he wanted to go with anybody else…

"Ugh," Draco groaned "These dances are stupid. You know, they don't even have dances at Pigfarts. All of the noise would disturb Rumbleroar's slumbering cubs."


Rachel Berry wasn't a quiet girl. She was loud, overdramatic, a little crazy, determined and ambitious. She was a talented witch and a Charms prodigy. She was muggle born, which gave her and Hermione a special bond from the start, and they were best friends. She got straight A's in all her classes and got on well with most of her house, and was close friends with Kurt, Ron, Harry, Hermione (obviously) and Finn. She was known for wearing cute custom made Ravenclaw legwarmers.

She wasn't Jesse's usual type. But for some strange reason he was drawn to the girl…

"Hey Rachel!" Jesse St James called down the hall. Rachel turned in surprise. Jesse St James was talking to her? She pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear nervously.

"Hi Jesse," She said "Can I help you?"

"Yes." Jesse breathed excitedly "You can, actually." If Rachel didn't know better she could have sworn that Jesse looked nervous. "Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" He asked in a rush. Rachel dropped all her books in fright. She bent down and scurried to pick them all up. Jesse leant down to help her.

"Don't – worry." She said quickly

"Its fine." He said, picking them up in a neat pile

"Thanks." She murmured

"So?" He asked her hopefully "Do you want to go to the ball with me?"

"Jesse…" Rachel said quietly "I can't."

"Why not?" Jesse demanded

"Because I already said yes to somebody else…" She whispered. Jesse's jaw dropped.

"Who?"

"Finn… " She said

"Finn Hudson?" Jesse sneered "You're going with Finn Hudson? Why would you go with that loser?."

"He's not a loser…" Rachel whispered, looking at the ground. She didn't want to go with him – she only said yes because she didn't think anybody else would ask her. But she thought it was unfair the way people picked on him – he was a nice guy.

"If you say so." Jesse said with a sneer, shoving her books into her hands.

And he stalked off in the other direction, leaving Rachel to sob silently in the hall.

There had been no doubt in Jesse's mind that she would say yes. He had only left it so late because he had been trying to work up the courage to ask her, and didn't even consider the possibility that she would be asked by somebody else…

Oh well. Thirty girls had already asked him this morning. He would have no trouble finding a date.

Problem was, the only girl he had even thought about asking was now standing alone in the corridor crying her little heart out.


As they were approaching the end of term, everyone was busy with exams. Kurt was relieved when they were over. He was confident in his Charms, HPE, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies, but was a little worried about his other classes.

As the holidays began, Kurt was staying at the school for the holidays, as did most of Hogwarts. During these winter weeks, days of sunshine were scarce, so they took advantage of them while they could. Kurt took to walking the grounds by himself, looking out over the river.

"Kurt!" Kurt turned at the sound of his name to see Sam over on the glittering grass, the rays shining across the green blades. When Kurt reached him he plopped down on the ground and spread out comfortably, soaking up the rays of sunshine.

"How are you?" Sam asked, stroking the boy's perfect hair. Kurt closed his eyes and sank against Sam's chest.

"Great," He breathed "You?"

"Perfect." Sam murmured. "The weather's lovely"

"Is that the only reason?" Kurt teased, twisting his face so he could see the boy.

"No… not entirely," Sam chuckled "Partially you." Kurt swatted him and Sam pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"Mmm…" Kurt sighed, closing his eyes sleepily

They lay there for a little while like that, enjoying the sunshine and general laziness of the afternoon. Sadly, time caught up to them and as the sun set they had to head back up to the castle. Kurt threaded his hand through Sam's and Sam grinned.

"I really like you Kurt." Sam said softly. Kurt felt his heart race.

"I really like you too." Kurt admitted shyly. Sam pecked his cheek again. It felt nice, holding his hand, as if he were his. And he was.

As they entered the Great Hall, sadly Sam dropped his hand and went and sat at his own table, Kurt heading for his own. He sat next to Ron and Harry who were moaning about being dateless.

At Ron and Kurt's insistence Harry had asked Tina to the Yule Ball that morning, but she had said already said yes to Jesse St James (who asked her after Rachel said no – but no one knew about that).Now Harry was drowning his sorrows in his pumpkin juice, believing that he was a fool to think that Tina ever had feelings for him. The whole Yule Ball seemed more trouble than it was worth…

"We just have to man up and do it!" Ron declared "I say we have to return from at least dinner tonight, with dates" Kurt and Harry nodded in agreement.

At lunch Kurt eyed Sam across the hall. Sam caught his eye and grinned. Kurt smiled back. He shouldn't be worried. Of course Sam would say yes… right?

"Hey Hermione," Ron suddenly interrupted Kurt's train of thought "You're a girl, right?" Uh oh. Kurt thought. Ron was about to be rejected…

"Nice observation." Hermione snapped

"So you can go with Harry or me?" Ron assumed

"No I can't." Hermione said

"Why not?" Ron asked

"Because I already have a date." Ron snorted

"All right," He grinned "I'm sorry. I know you're a girl. So will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" Hermione blushed pink

"I told you," She said "I already have a date." Ron frowned

"Who?" He demanded

"None of your business," She snapped "Now if you will excuse me." She said storming off

"She doesn't have a date." Ron chuckled. Kurt frowned, thinking back to the conversation he and Hermione had had the night of his first Quidditch match…

"They are rather nice aren't they" She noted "I was talking to Victor this morning actually…"

"Actually, she does." Kurt said

"Oh yeah? Who?" Ron asked

"That's not for me to say," Kurt said "But she does have one" Kurt insisted. Ron shook his head.

"I'll believe that when I see it." He said, tucking into his lunch with his usual enthusiasm. Harry gave Kurt a look that said meh-what-are-ya-gonna-do look and shrugged turning to his own lunch.


A/N: Ugh, sorry about the line spacing (it's out of whack again :S) - I'll try and fix it for the next chappie :) Hope you guys liked it.
