Adam arrived in Lima two days after Kurt told Harry he might be visiting. When Kurt had suggested it Harry had been so busy being emotionally crushed it hadn't even occurred to him that just because he didn't know anyone named Adam Crawford, didn't mean Adam Crawford wouldn't know him. Harry was in the living room playing Call of Duty with Finn while Kurt flipped through a back issue of Vogue when Burt led Adam into the room. Harry glanced up at the sound of a shocked gasp.

Adam stared at him with wide eyes. Harry wouldn't have been particularly concerned about this except that, rather than looking worshipful, Adam looked scared. Without even pausing the game Harry set down the controller and stood up to face him. Adam took a step back. Kurt was looking between them in confusion.

"Adam?" he asked and Harry could hear the confusion and worry in his voice. "What's wrong?"

Kurt took a step forward and Harry threw out a hand to stop him.

"Don't," Harry kept his eyes on Adam even as he began speaking to Kurt "Kurt have you ever seen Adam's left forearm?"

Harry could see Burt's face from where he stood. Thankfully rather than looking at Harry like he was crazy Burt was eyeing Adam with suspicion.

"I don't. . .what are you talking about?" Kurt demanded and Harry could tell from his tone that he was feeling scared.

"Just answer this one question for me Kurt. Does Adam have a tattoo on his left forearm?" Harry demanded. Adam began to shake his head.

"Kurt don't" he spoke softly and Harry narrowed his eyes.

"Answer the question Kurt." He demanded sharply.

"Umm yeah I think so. I mean I only saw it once it's way creepy like a skull or something." Harry felt his whole body tense at the confirmation of his fears. Adam's eyes were darting from Harry to the hallway he'd just entered. His hand suddenly wavered as if going for a weapon. Harry spoke quickly.

"Don't try it. Just go." Adam sneered at him.

"You're not even armed."

"Are you willing to bet your life on that? Just leave Adam or whatever your name is. I don't know what you're doing in America but its over now. I've seen you now, as soon as you leave I'll report it and the Aurors will come looking. Just run while you still can." Harry watched as Adam finally came to a decision and with a sharp nod turned and ran from the house. Everyone in the room simply stood there staring at the spot where he'd been for several minutes before Harry came to himself.

"I have to report this."

He walked quickly to the kitchen aware of the others following him. He picked up the phone and dialed Hermione.

"Harry!" She exclaimed "I wasn't expecting to talk with you until tomorrow."

"It's not a social call Hermione. I just finished having a conversation with a Death Eater." Her horrified gasp almost made him feel guilty for being so blunt but he pushed the feeling aside in favor of getting things dealt with quickly.

"I don't know his real name but he introduced himself to Kurt as Adam Crawford." He paused and turned around to face Kurt "You met Adam at NYADA?" Kurt nodded "Did you ever actually see him in class or just around campus?"

"Uhh Around campus I guess. I mean he's a few years ahead of me so we didn't have the same classes but I saw him studying and he's the head of the NYADA Glee Club." Harry relayed this information to Hermione.

"He's gone now I told him to run but pass this on to the Aurors. If you can avoid it don't tell them the tip came from me I don't want them harassing the Hummel's."

"But do you think he'll come after Kurt?" Hermione asked "Or you now that he knows you're staying there?"

"No I don't think so. He seemed as shocked to see me as I was to see him. That's what gave him away honestly the moment he saw me he expected me to recognize him."

"But you didn't," Hermione asked.

"Not at all."

"Okay I'll pass this along to Auror Robards."

"Thanks Hermione, I've got to go and explain what I can. Talk to you later."

Harry turned to face a room of tense looking people. Kurt looked worse than the other two ,probably because he was the only one who actually knew Adam. Harry felt bad especially because there was a small part of him practically tap dancing about the fact that Adam would no longer be part of Kurt's life. Harry moved to the kitchen table and sat down gesturing for the others to do the same.

"Can you please explain to me what just happened?" Kurt said after another moment of silence. Burt nodded.

"Yeah Harry what was that all about?"

"Look there are some things I can't explain but I'll tell you what I can okay?" they nodded "Adam, if that's even his name, was a member of a very dangerous gang. A gang that disbanded just over a year ago when their leader was apprehended. I can't be certain Kurt but I suspect you'll find when you return to school that nobody knew Adam before last year. I can only assume that he fled the country to avoid prosecution."

"But how did he know you? Especially since you didn't know him?" Kurt asked.

"And what's an Auror?" Finn added his tone more curious than accusing unlike Kurt.

"Uhh this is where it gets tricky because there are some things I really can't go into but . . .Adam knew me because the leader of his gang had a hit out on me. I can't tell you why so don't ask. It's also possible I went to school with him and he just expected me to remember. A lot of the members of the Death Eater gang went to my school." Kurt just stared at him but thankfully he looked more confused and sad then angry.

"You still didn't explain what an Auror is." Burt told him. Harry nodded.

"Oh yeah, sorry the Aurors are a group of specially trained police organized specifically to apprehend Death Eaters and other high priority criminals."

Kurt really wasn't sure how to feel after Adam left. He'd called Rachel and had her go over to his apartment. She'd called back and told him it was crawling with police and Adam was nowhere to be found. This all confirmed what Harry had told him but just to be certain Rachel asked Brody who admitted that he'd not met Adam before Kurt started hanging out with him. Even though they really should have had at least one class together at some point, since they had allegedly started NYADA at the same time.

The experience left him with a lot of questions about Harry that he didn't think he would get answers too. So Kurt tried to put it out of his mind though he did breathe a sigh of relief when Harry informed them two days later that Adam had be apprehended and taken back to Europe to face trial. His real name was Adam Crabbe Harry told him he'd been in the same year as Adam's younger brother at school which was probably why Adam expected to be recognized.

Life settled back into routine quickly for Kurt. He found himself drawn more and more to Harry. The other man was always fun to talk with and just so painfully sexy. Kurt spent most of his days at his Dad's shop handing Harry tools and making jokes back and forth. Harry didn't seem to mind and if he noticed Kurt checking him out he never mentioned it. Kurt knew he was setting himself up for heartbreak. He'd done the crushing on straight guys thing before and it had ended badly but he just couldn't keep away.

Kurt had tried again to take Harry shopping but had just ended up with a couple of Armani tops and a pair of pink Ralph Lauren Chinos. He had managed to get Harry to buy a very nice pair of jeans for himself though so Kurt counted it as a win overall.

It was an incredibly hot Wednesday afternoon when all of Kurt's preconceptions about his friendship with Harry were blown to smithereens. Kurt especially liked to visit the garage on hot days because instead of a t-shirt Harry went for a snug fitting sleeveless undershirt. His muscular arms would glisten with sweat as he bent over the steaming hot engines of the cars that would inevitably overheat because of the high temperature. Kurt would sit on what he had come to think of as his stool, with one of the shop fan's pointed at him to keep cool, and just watch Harry work.

"Kurt will you hand me the bigger lockjaw wrench?" Harry asked as he dragged a shop towel across his face. Kurt glanced into the toolbox as he tried to guess which tool Harry was talking about. His dad had made him help out enough times that Kurt knew the names of most of his tools, even if he sometimes got them mixed up. He picked up a likely tool.

"This one?" He asked and Harry smiled fondly, shaking his head.

"Nope try again." Kurt looked until he caught sight of a wrench with an adjustable knob on the end. He was pretty sure it locked into place once you twisted it a certain way, picking it up he held it out to Harry.

"Is this it?" Harry nodded so Kurt took it over to him before returning to his seat. Harry locked the wrench into place and began to use another tool to tighten the connection. The sharp clack of leather shoes against the polished shop floor made Kurt glance up even as Harry continued working. There was a tall man with shining blond hair walking towards them instead of up the steps to his dad's office where clients normally settled their bills or dropped of their keys. He was impeccably dressed in a designer suit and patent leather shoes looking completely out of place in Lima, let alone in a mechanic's shop.

"Can I help you?" Kurt asked as the man drew nearer. Behind him he heard a sudden gasp and the sound of a tool hitting the ground. Harry's voice was almost reverent when he whispered "Draco"

Kurt watched as the man who had previously be focussed on him turned his eyes to Harry. He smirked.

"Hello Harry," his voice was a lazy drawl and when Kurt turned to look at Harry he saw that the other man had straightened up and was quickly wiping the grease from his hands with the same shop towel he'd used moments before.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked and Kurt noted that his voice sounded like there were a dozen questions he'd rather ask.

"I should think that's obvious. You've made your point I want you to come home." Kurt looked over at Harry who seemed to be opening and closing his mouth as if unsure how to respond. Suddenly a thought seemed to occur to him because he clenched his jaw and when he spoke his tone was dangerous.

"How is your wife Draco?" the other man waved his hand dismissively.

"You needn't worry about her anymore darling. I came to tell you she is pregnant and the child is male. I understand you objected to my having a wife and I've decided to divorce her as soon as Scorpius is born." A thought was forming in Kurt's head, this man had called Harry 'darling' and had suggested he was leaving his wife for him. Almost as if. . . Almost as if Harry was. . . Kurt's thoughts were interrupted by a bitter sort of laugh from Harry.

"Are you serious?" Harry asked and Kurt turned to see him giving Draco an incredulous look. Draco scowled.

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

"What I. . . ? No Draco," Harry's voice started to get louder as he became increasingly upset "What I wanted was for you not to go off and FUCKING MARRY someone else to begin with. How could you possibly think I would want you to abandon your wife? Merlin what kind of person are you? She's having your child Draco. Doesn't that even matter to you?" The other man gave Harry a poisonous look and meanwhile Kurt's head was spinning. A single thought playing on repeat in his brain Harry is gay, Harry is gay, Harry is gay.

"Of course it matters! I really think you're being selfish here. I did this as much for you as for myself." Draco snapped angrily.

"What are you even talking about?" and Kurt noted that Harry sounded genuinely confused rather than angry at this point.

"You need an heir just as much as I do."

"I have an heir." Harry replied his tone once again dangerous.

"Oh please you can't honestly plan to leave the Black family fortune to that filthy half-"

"I swear to god Draco I will break your nose if you finish that sentence. Teddy is my godson and my heir." As Harry spoke he moved from behind the car until he was standing inches from Draco. Kurt watched as Draco's face pulled into an ugly sneer.

"You can't honestly tell me you would choose Teddy Lupin over my son. Scorpius has an impeccable bloodline and my mother is a Black. Come on Harry think about it, we can raise him together and when he grows up he'll be the heir to the three most influential bloodlines in the world." Something in his tone made Harry's eyes go wide and when he spoke he sounded horrified.

"Oh my god, you planned this. This is what it's always been about for you, from the very beginning. You never wanted me, you just wanted to get your slimy hands back on the Black family fortune!" Kurt could tell Harry was getting increasingly agitated he looked like he might cry or hit somebody so Kurt stepped up.

"Look I think it's pretty clear Harry is not going anywhere with you. My father owns this garage and I really think it's time for you to go." Draco turned to look at him and his expression was that of someone looking at something disgusting.

"Oh I see, are you my replacement? Really Harry I think you can do better than this scrawny little slu-" Draco's insult was cut off by Harry's fist impacting with his face. Kurt jumped back to avoid being spattered with the blood that gushed from Draco's nose. The crunch of bone told Kurt it was probably broken.

"Don't you dare talk about him like that. He's worth ten of you Draco, now get the fuck out of here or I swear to god they'll have to take you out on a stretcher." Draco attempted to sneer despite his bloody nose then spun around and swept out of the shop without another word.
