"Finn! Get back here! I swear I will tether you to my wrist!"

Finn turned around and ran back to them, looking sheepish.

"Sorry," he muttered. "It's just, everything's so cool!"

"You're starting to overuse that sentiment," Kurt said, rolling his eyes as they moved through the crowd towards the brightly lit stadium set up in the field they were walking across in the early evening.

After another morning of simply wandering around the city together, they'd ridden the Underground to Morden before taking to a taxi to the outskirts of Crawley, where the Tornadoes and Arrows were set to play within the hour.

Blaine squirmed in excitement as Kurt passed the tickets to a bored-looking wizard at the gate, who scanned them with a Secrecy Sensor before tearing them and handing Kurt his half back with a muttered, "Enjoy the match."

"I can't believe I'm really going to get to see them play!" Blaine said as they climbed the stairs to their seats.

"Believe it," Kurt said, grinning.

"You're brilliant," Blaine said, slipping his hand in Kurt's and kissing him on the cheek.

"I know," Kurt said as he checked their tickets and led them down one of the rows of seats in the middle of the Tornadoes section.

They were all wearing the clothes Kurt had bought for them Wednesday and Blaine had bought them each pennant flags from one of the vendors outside the stadium.

The emerald green pitch far below them was lit by hundreds of bright lights, the six goal hoops gleaming in the glare. It was a least ten times the size of the Hogwarts stadium, the seats already filling on both sides with fans. Those on the Arrows side were wearing pale blue emblazoned with a silver arrow.

Kurt settled in between Blaine and Finn, both of whom were looking thrilled beyond belief.

"First time to a match?"

They turned to see a witch who looked to be in her mid-twenties who was sitting next to Blaine leaning forward and smiling at them. She had long, blonde hair and bright blue eyes. There was a young boy of three or four sitting next to her, jumping up and down in his seat and saying "Daddy's playing, daddy's playing, daddy's playing!" excitedly.

They all nodded and she smiled a little wider. "Big Tornadoes fans?" she said, taking in their clothes and flags.

Blaine nodded enthusiastically.

"He is," Kurt said, nodding to Blaine. "I'm not a big Quidditch person and my brother here is a Muggle and has no idea what's going on." He glanced at Finn, who was staring around the stadium with a huge grin.

"Americans, eh?" the woman said. "What brings you to Crawley?"

"They're American," Blaine said, pointing to Kurt and Finn. "The two of us go to Hogwarts."

"Really?" she said, smiling. "What year will you be in?"

"Seventh," Kurt answered. "Both Ravenclaws."

"Ah," she said, nodding. "I was a Ravenclaw when I went to Hogwarts. My husband was a Gryffindor, though."

"Who's your husband, if I may ask?" Blaine said curiously.

"Roger Trenton," she replied. She held out her hand. "I'm Silvia."

Blaine stared at her wide-eyed. "R-Roger Trenton? The Roger Trenton? As in, Captain of the Tornadoes Roger Trenton?"

Silvia laughed as Kurt shook her hand before he forced Blaine to do the same. "Yes, that's him," she said.

Blaine looked like he might pass out. "I...your husband's brilliant," he croaked. "He's the reason I started following the Tornadoes. He's the reason I started playing Quidditch."
