AN: Hi everybody! I can only apologise for how long it has been since I last posted an update; I've been suffering with serious Writer's Block and uni hasn't helped things! But no matter, I'm (hopefully) back and here with a little something for Chapter 25. It's not so much Rane-y fluff, as it is… tying up loose ends as we get closer to the end ^_^ anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Everything related to Hogwarts!verse belongs to J K Rowling, all of the Dalton!verse characters belong to Mamma CP and the OCs are thanks to one of three things: my friends volunteering, my brain making them up or the special guest I have dropped in because I can ;) Also, the title was inspired by 'Magic Works' from the OST of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', so credit goes to whoever wrote it.
The Seventh Year Gryffindor dorm was buzzing with adrenaline and excitement as the majority of its occupants prepared themselves for the upcoming Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. Once ready, Evan and Ethan banged out a beat against the wall, grinning at their friends as they gathered their things.
Wes led the group out of the dorm as he sang, "Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise,
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday,
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace,
Kickin' your can all over the place,
Singin',"
They all joined together as they exited the common room, the Twins continuing to beat out the rhythm on anything they passed, "We will, we will rock you,
We will, we will rock you,"
Meanwhile, Derek was leading his team out of Ravenclaw Tower, "Buddy, you're a young man, hard man,
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday,
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace,
Wavin' your banner all over the place,"
The team sang together, "We will, we will rock you,"
Franzi cried out, "Singin',"
They sang together again, "We will, we will rock you,
Crossing the empty courtyard, Blaine took over the vocals, "Buddy, you're an old man, poor man,
Pleading with your eyes, gonna make you some peace someday,"
Heading towards the Quidditch pitch, Logan sang, "You got mud on your face, big disgrace,
Somebody better put you back into your place,"
The two teams chanted, their voices rising above the near-silent grounds, "We will, we will rock you,
We will, we will rock you,"
Wes called, "Singing,"
They all sang again, approaching their respective locker rooms, "We will, we will rock you,
We will, we will rock you,"
Nick shouted, "Everybody,"
The two teams sang together a final time, heading into the changing rooms to prepare for their match, "We will, we will rock you,
We will, we will rock you."
As everyone was preparing for the upcoming Quidditch match, there was one Hogwarts student that was nowhere to be seen. After a quick dash to the bathroom before making his way to the field, Kurt found himself under the bleachers, cornered by Azimio and Nelson.
"Well, well, well, look who's all alone with no friends to fight his battles," the taller Durmstrang student stated, smirking.
"It's our favourite fairy!" Nelson exclaimed, his voice laced with venom and his face twisted into an evil smile.
Kurt kept his head down, but instead of the usual fear he was used to feeling around the two, he felt rage boil up inside him and he balled his hands into fists either side of him. "Don't call me that," he muttered through gritted teeth.
"What was that? Did the fairy say something?" Azimio asked, stepping towards him.
"I said don't call me that!" His head flew up and he met the gaze of the tall Durmstrang boy stood closest to him. "I'm not a fairy! I am a boy who is gay and there is nothing wrong with that!" he lowered his voice from shouting, "You can call me names and threaten me all you want, but I'm not scared of you anymore."
"You sure about that?" Rick stepped forward so he was next to Azimio, producing his wand.
"Yeah, I am sure. Because this is who I am. And you can try to curse the gay out of me as much as I could try and curse the ignorance and intolerance out of you, but it won't change anything. I'd still be gay, and you two would still be the ignorant, intolerant Neanderthals you still are three years after me coming out. So you have two choices: try and curse the gay out of me, fail, and have Bernhardsson expel you both, or you can turn around, walk away and leave me alone." His gaze shifted between the two and after Rick and Azimio exchanged looks, they turned and walked away, grumbling under their breath. Kurt let out a breath he didn't realise he had been holding before straightening up and making his way from under the bleachers and up to where Dwight, Reed and Shane were stood in the midst of the Gryffindor supporters.
As he approached, Reed lit up. "There you are! I was wondering where you'd gotten to! Where were you?"
"I had to go to the bathroom, then I had a little run-in with Rick and Azimio."
"What happened? Do you want me to sort them out?" Shane asked, tensing up at the mention of the two.
"No need, they'll be leaving me alone from now on." Kurt smiled. "Now, give me my banner." He flashed a grin to Reed who beamed back and handed him the banner the two had made which had 'Go Blaine!' in big, screaming letters and the whole banner a mix of red and gold before he held it up in the air and joined in with the cheering on of his peers for their team (apart from Dwight, who was torn due to his loyalties in both houses playing).
AN: I hope you enjoyed! Credit for the song goes to whoever wrote 'We Will Rock You' originally performed by Queen, and I'll hopefully see you again soon!
