After watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and especially the part where Harry and Ron go into the forbidden forest my mind was just filled with ideas about how adorable Blaine (Harry) and Kurt (Ron) would be in this situation. So this would be part of "The boy who lived - 2" then. Hoping I'll get this far... :D
They made their way into the forest, Blaine keeping his eyes glued to the ground, searching for the spiders.
Just moments after passing the first trees, the light coming from the stars and the moon was absorbed by the woods and they found themselves in complete darkness. Blaine stopped and Kurt bumped into him, letting out a fearful whimper.
Blaine took a deep breath. He didn't want to admit it but the whole scenery was scary! But they had to find out what had happened. He thought of Rachel, lying stiff and stony in the hospital wing and the memory of her terrified cold face gave him courage. They had to do it.
He turned slowly, getting out his wand and whispering ''lumos''. Momentarily he could see more of his surroundings as the light burst from the tip of his wand.
Kurt stared at him with wide eyes, his hands, fists at both sides of his body and his shoulders heaving and sinking heavily as he tried to get control of his hysterically fast breathing.
"I had nature" he whispered, his eyes not leaving Blaine's. Blaine thought he looked awful and to be honest, Kurt's panic began to take over, driving away his just built up courage. Blaine quickly took Kurt's hand in his and gave him a reassuring smile.
"We'll be fine Kurt. We just need to find out what happened. For Rachel and all the others. For Dumbledore and Hagrid... and for Hogwarts, right?"
Kurt looked at him, doubt in his eyes but he nodded slightly. Blaine smiled again and squeezed Kurt's hand again.
"Just don't let go of my hand."
They started walking again, fang right behind them.
The boys followed the spiders along the path going deeper into the forest. Feeling uneasy, Blaine noticed that the spiders seemed to become bigger and bigger as they went.
He shot a gaze at Kurt, but he kept his eyes fixed on their tangled hands, repeating his mantra of "I hate nature. I hate spiders. But I can do it. Blaine's here. Rachel needs us." low under his breath.
Blaine fixed his eyes back on the track of spiders. Noticing that they had disappeared, he stopped and Kurt went still by his side. "What is it? What did you see?" He whispered breathless into Blaine's ear.
"The spiders are gone." Blaine answered and motioned to the ground. Kurt seemed relieved. He spun around and Blaine already thought that he would give up on their quest and Kurt came to a hold again and took Blaine's wand from his hand.
Kurt bend down, holding the light closer to the ground. "Here they are Blaine." Blaine kneeled down beside him.
The spiders were leaving the path, going into the dark brake. He vividly remembered Hagrid telling them to never leave the path just a little over a year ago.
"So..." Blaine began, staring at the disappearing spiders.
Kurt grabbed his hand and pulled him into the dark, his wand only illuminating little of their environment.
"We go on. We need to." Kurt's voice shook only a little as he said that and Blaine was impressed by how brave he sounded.
