Rec: Harry Potter, Glee
Title: Harry Potter and the High School Glee Club
Author: narceus
Pairing: Blaine (Harry) / Kurt
Summary: Harry Potter gets force-fed the blue pill. Welcome to Ohio, Mr. Anderson. (Or: the one where Blaine is secretly Harry Potter in disguise.)
That was it, then. There it was. He was quiet, charming gay Warbler Blaine Anderson who studied too much. He had never ridden a broomstick. He had never cast a spell. He had never even, as far as he told his classmates, gotten into a fight, and if his records from Calhoun said otherwise the Dalton faculty wasn't mentioning it. He liked the Beatles--well, who didn't like the Beatles--and ridiculous girl-fronted pop songs, old classic movie musicals, and Shakespeare. He laughingly let Ian subject him to a whole season of college football in retaliation for all the hours he spent practicing his parts for Sectionals in the dorm room, and found that, Quidditch or not, he actually enjoyed it. Blaine Anderson, who liked music and football. Blaine Anderson, who had grown up in New England, far away from anywhere his Midwestern classmates had ever lived, but now lived with his sister in Cincinnati.
And Harry Potter didn't clench his fists and grit his teeth and yell. He didn't stare at little Pavarotti on his perch and think about throwing the cage door open, throwing the fifth-floor dorm window open, leaping out and praying for whatever latent magic he must still have somewhere to catch him. He didn't leave the common room on Lord of the Rings night, even when Gandalf dueled Sarumon, and he didn't pick fights with Ian about dirty socks or the way he left the TV on all the time even when he was out. He didn't. He might want to, but he didn't, because Harry Potter was the key to the Dark Lord regaining all his power, so Harry Potter couldn't be allowed to exist.
I am just insanely happy this exists! I thought of this crossover (as apparently did others...) as soon as Blaine appeared on Glee. It was just going to happen. It had to. And it did!
For the few people who are lost, and wondering why Blaine might be linked to Harry Potter at all.... I suggest you check out A Very Potter Musical. It features one, very scruffy looking, Darren Criss acting (you've guessed it!) Harry Potter himself. As you can see the need for this crossover was great. And narceus simply provided what everybody (that is, what I...) wanted!
The amazing thing isn't so much that this crossover exists, but that it is so very wonderfully good. It has a dreamy tone, which is almost dark in places. A tone which is not terribly in line with the general atmosphere of Glee, I'll admit, but which works perfectly for this story. Its not happy, but I wouldn't say its sad either. At its heart it's less about mashing the Harry Potter universe with Glee and watching the ensuing awesome... but more about telling the story of a young man who's been taken away from everything he's ever known and thrust into a new world with new rules.
In essence it is filled with amazing, and topped with awesome. Enjoy :)
