Yay everyone! I actually updated within a week! Special thanks should go out to Harvey the Wonder Hamster, who politely begged me to update soon and was such a cutie that I decided to do it.
104 followers! Man, I've never had that many before. Here, take a chocolate, you *throws chocolate at audience*
Ninth installment it is. Truckload of thanks to CrazySue05, who edited this on the way to work like the total sweetheart that she is!
Disclaimer: If I owned either Glee or Harry Potter, I'd blackmail my moderators to give me more than 67% on my last semester total.

Kurt was flabbergasted. Here he was, dreading the fact that he looked like a creep to Harry, whilst the cute boy just asked him to help him roam this sucky town and he hadn't replied yet! He nodded excitedly, but reined in his usual excited chatter about where they were to go. He didn't even know whether Harry was gay or straight, though his usual luck meant Harry would probably be the former. Even then, Harry looked certainly older than him and so he couldn't be sure that whatever Kurt showed him wouldn't be too immature for him. So he decided to play it cool and asked him when he wanted to meet.
Harry said, "Well, I've graduated school already, so for the time being there's not much to be traveling about for. But I'm guessing you're still in high school, yeah?" Kurt blushed and said that he was seventeen, as opposed to Harry who replied with a simple nineteen. Kurt rubbed his hands and said, "Let's start with something simple. What did you do most of the time at school? We can start with interests and then I can show you the rest of the town."
Harry smiled at the memories the word school brought back to him and he absentmindedly said, "Sports…" not seeing how Kurt's eyes suddenly went from really bright to a light dull version. He then continued, "I also liked running track, and reading books. They were the only way I could get away from my life when I was younger." He realized but didn't care that he was sharing memories within minutes to Kurt whereas it took him four years and an almost death in a graveyard to tell his miserable life in Surrey to Ron and Hermione. He then continued, "If there's a ground usually used for sports races or a wide garden I could run around, that would be fine. I haven't done my normal exercises or sports in more than six months and need to catch up."
Kurt's rising hopes went lower and lower as Harry continued to talk about sports and track all the stuff he didn't like to do. Even if he wanted to do it, most of the guys, including the Glee ones, thought of him as a predatory gay and he wasn't allowed in it. Even though he preferred "Girls' Night Out" to "Boys' Night", he would have liked to have been at least invited for politeness, if nothing else. He then realized that this was the perfect thing for him. Harry seemed to be a polite boy, who had no idea or didn't care that Kurt's face wasn't rugged or was too feminine or his voice was too high to be normal. If Harry was straight, then he could hang out with him without any fear of being accused of looking at someone's private places in the locker room. And if Harry was gay, then he had a guy to chitchat with about everything under the sun. So for him, it was a win-win.
Kurt thought quickly and told Harry, "Um, since it's the Christmas holidays, I will be free as compared to when school starts again. I'm sure I can find someplace that you will be able to get back your love of running in. But tell me this, are you a fan of skating?"

Harry LOVED skating. He didn't know at the time, but playing Quidditch for six years with the intense training Oliver had them all under and he had continued later, Harry had developed a dexterity and flexibility which normal walking and jogging wouldn't provide him. So when Kurt brought him to a frozen ice pond where a small shack was waiting with many pairs of shoes in various sizes, he was surprised. He was pretty sure he would fall down a billion times, and Kurt would laugh his butt off while dancing circles around him, but it was quite the wrong thing to assume. Both of them kept falling down, not much to bruise, but enough to have their egos hurt. But the laughter they shared while helping each other up every time was something Harry was sure he could use if he had to conjure a Patronus again.
After almost two hours of skating, when their feet had become cold despite the boots, Harry said, "Let's go back to Coffee-holics. My treat." Kurt had never smiled so hard as when Harry gestured his hand so Kurt could put his hand in it.

So, the usual. Tell me how it was, blah blah blah, in a review below, or just go rec my story if you think it's good enough.
As such, it's my sister's birthday on the tenth, and even though she doesn't know I write so much fanfiction, here's a shout-out to her! Happy Birthday, sis!
