Title: Love Begins

Beta: None and as such all mistakes are mine. (Though if you read this and decide you want in inbox me)
Fandom: Harry Potter/Glee
Pairings: Harry Potter/Kurt Hummel, Noah Puckerman/Santana Lopez (these are the only pairings that matter anyway)
Warnings: This is Slash. Don't like don't read. Harry and Puck (yes they need their own warning), smexy thoughts and actions as well as slight creeper tendencies. Homophobia. Though that last one is only until Harry starts kicking ass, taking names and kicking those names in the ass. I am also a big fan of slightly feminine Super!Harry so that is probably how he will end up. I also like super smart Noah. It kills me that on the show Puck is all brawn no brains.
Author's Note: This story came about after reading Icebreaker by gleefulmusings. I completely agree with her assertion that Kurt deserved way better than what he was getting. This story will have alternating points of view. If you read please review. All are welcome. Except the stupid ones.
Summary: When Harry arrived in Lima, Ohio and began William Mckinley High School the last thing he expected to find was the love of his life. Title of this story was taken from the musical Wonderland. Hurt and Pucktana.

Harry Potter walked through the door of his son's nursery with half opened eyes and clumsy steps. How he managed to aquire a kid that was a morning person was beyond him. It's probably fate fucking with me again he thought to himself as he turned to his son. "Teddybear I love you but you have got to start letting me sleep in the mornings."
Teddy Lupin-Potter looked up at his father's voice and grinned showing his shiny new baby teeth. His hair which was once aquamarine blue changed to a slightly tamer version of Harry's own black hair. I'm gonna have to do something about that, Harry thought to himself while making a mental note not to forget. Using the bars on his crib Teddy pulled himself up and immediately held up his arms to be picked up. "Ow" he shouted. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow."
"Okay okay. I'll take you out." he answeed his kid with a sleepy smile. "I guess I should be thanking you for waking me up in time for school. It would suck if I was late my first day. We also have to pick up both Sarah and Noah so thank you Teddybear. Though next time, I would appreciate it if you'd already have the coffee waiting." His answer was happy baby babble punctuated with light smacks to his head. "You have a big day too, don't you? Are you excited to be starting daycare? That Maggie lady seemed really nice and I know she can't wait to get you to herself," Harry chuckled. "Lets get ourselves dressed and fed so we can be on our way shall we?" And with those words his day officially started.
Harry took Teddy into the bathroom for a little wash up before dressing him and placing him back in his crib. He then jumped into his own shower before getting dressing himself in a pair of black jeans and a green t-shirt that read 'ASS. The other Vagina'. Putting a pair of black and green chucks on his feet he made his way back into the bathroom to finish up. Still tired and without coffee he attempted to pull his wavy (read: curly), waist length hair into some semblance of order. The end result was a messy bun with his long bangs sweeping over his forehead. Since it covered his faded though still famous lightening bolt scar, he let it be. Deciding to forgo his contacts he grabbed his black, rectangle rimmed Dolce&Gabana glasses. After one last look in the mirror, he left his bathroom, scooped up the kid and went downstairs to the kitchen. "Are you hungry Teddybear? What would you like to eat? How about a little bit of oatmeal and mashed fruit? Does that sound to good to you?"
"Nanananananana" Teddy cried happily. Laughing at his sons enthusiasm, Harry placed him in his high chair before starting their food. "Bananas it is."
Once they had both eaten and only after three cups of coffee, Harry cleaned up before running to get his and Teddy's bags. The weather was still nice as it was only a few weeks into September so he grabbed light weight jackets for them both.
When he came back downstairs he quickly placed a strong glamour on his son. He didn't need Teddy using his metamorphic abilities in front of muggles. Now instead of the aquamarine hair he reverted to, Teddy was now sporting brown hair and amber eyes making him look a lot like his biological father. After making himself an extra large thermos of coffee he grabbed everthing up, including his wand, before heading out to his car.
His car. It was the best thing he had purchaed since moving to Lima. While he was proud of his modest two story, six bedroom home with state of the art kitchen it was his black and silver 2011 Honda Pilot SUV that he loved. Not because he understood any of the engine speak his sister loved to expound upon when she got anywhere near his car, but because it was huge. It was so big it made him feel tiny. Another reason he loved his car was for the safety he felt it afforded him. He often felt as if he and Teddy were safe while inside of it and after reading up on the number of car accidents a day it was a wonder that anything could make him feel safe on the road. So of course he named this awesomeness Azza*.
Quickly strapping both himself and Teddy in, he sent off a quick text letting Noah know he was on his way and plugged in his iphone to the sound sytem. Setting it to kiddie tunes for his son, he allowed one last mental check to make sure he had everything before deciding he was ready to hit the road.
Twenty minutes later, Harry pulled up in front of the Puckerman residence exactly on time. Noah and Sarah must have been watching for him because they were already running to his car before he could even park properly. He spied someone peeking through the curtains and figured it was Mrs. Puckerman. He waved cheerfully at her and watched as the curtain dropped quickly back into place. Merlin how he hated that woman. Whatever. He shrugged off the unhappy thoughts before turning to his new passengers. "Hey. Were you guys waiting long for me?"
It was Noah who answered with, "Not really. We had just finished breakfast when we heard Elmo singing about moving and a splashing. Figured it was you."
Knowing there had to be more to it than he was saying he resolved to ask about it later. "Well okay here's the plan. I drop Sarah off at the elementary school before dropping Teddy at the daycare since it's on the way to Mckinley. Teddy shouldn't take too long and if Sarah doesn't mind us leaving after we get to her school we might actually be early Noah. What do you think?" This time it was Sarah who responded with "sounds like a plan. I don't mind going in by myself. My friends should be out front anyways."
"Cool beans. Lets make moves. Oh and Noah...It's 'splishing and a splashing, moving and a grooving.' As many times as you have heard this song you should know it by heart."
"Sheesh. Well excuse me. I didn't know I was supposed to be keeping up with the Muppet Babies and their new music."
"Sesame Street Noah. Elmo is Sesame not Muppet."
"Whatever. The point is I usually tune this sh- stuff out whenever you put it on."
"I don't see why. It's very entertaining. It's better than some of the crap I hear playing on these radio stations." Deciding to end the discussion Harry glanced at Sarah in his rear view mirror and asked her how school was going.
"It's fine. I really like my teacher. She lets us read what we want when it's time for DEAR** and she teaches us awesome songs. Do you want to hear what she taught us yesterday?"
"NO!"
"Sure. Go for it."
Both Noah and Harry answered at the same time. Giving Noah a questioning look he missed the mischevious smirk on Sarah's face.
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope, a world of fears
There's so much that we share,
It's time we're aware,
That it's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world.
She held the note longer than was needed before collapsing into giggles. Noah had his hand in front of his face and was shaking his head while Harry just sat there stunned. "That has got to be the most annoying song I have ever heard in my life."
"And you haven't even heard the whole thing," Noah groaned.
"There's more?"
"Yeah there's a whole other verse. Listen," and with that Sarah began singing again.
There is just one moon and one golden sun,
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small, small world.
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world.***
"Okay enough. Sarahbear you are to never, ever sing that song in my presence again."
"But Harry..."
"No buts. Never again do you understand me?" he snapped while pulling up in front of her school where Sarah immediately spotted her friends. With a hasty farewll she ran to join them. Harry watched as they entered the school before he pulled away and started the drive to drop off Teddy. "Can you believe that little brat? That song is going to be stuck in my head all day."
"I tried to warn you. She's been singing it ever since she got home yesterday. I've almost killed her a couple of times just to shut her up."
"Once we drop Teddy, I am definitely going to have to listen to some grown up music if I don't want to have a complete meltdown. This stupid town is infested with morning people. Just this morning my neighbor tried to have a chat with me. A chat! It was barely after seven."
"Didn't you have any coffee this morning?"
"Yeah. Three cups but you know that isn't enough."
"I think we should check you into rehab for this addiction you have. Aren't you supposed to be drinking tea anyway? Your British. Brithish people drink tea."
"First of all I do drink tea. Just not in the mornings. Mornings are solely for coffee. And secondly, no way in hell am I ever going to rehab. Rehab is for quitters and I ain't no quitter."
"Awesome. Who was that?" Noah asked speaking of the impression Harry gave at the end of his statement.
"Yosemite Sam. Teddy and I had a looney tunes marathon last night before bed," he responded as he pulled into the parking lot of Teddy's new daycare. He parked, hopped out and walked around to the door closest to his son all the while muttering to himself. A mother walking by with her toddler shot him a smile and waved."Bloody morning people."
After unstrapping his son, he grabbed his little Elmo backpack and walked him to the daycare. He quickly signed his son in before finding the woman he spoke to earlier in the week when he came to sign Teddy up.
"Maggie" he called once he spotted her.
"Hello Harry. How are you this fine morning?"
Harry looked at her in disbelief and complete disgust. "Tell me you've had like twenty cups of coffee and that's why your so happy."Maggie laughed before responding that she doesn't drink coffee.
"Ah. I understand. Which is it? Whiskey or Vodka?"
"I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking Mr. Potter."
"I'm just trying to figure out why you are so cheerful this early in the morning. I mean it's just gone on eight. It's not natural so I figure you've had a little something extra in your tea this morning. Which is it?"
Maggie laughed again. "While yes it's a little early it's still a beautiful morning and we have much to be thankful for, don't you think?"
"Okay that's it. I'm just going to have to find somewhere else for Teddy to go."
Suddenly looking alarmed she asked him what was wrong. "You. You are what's wrong. I will not have my son learning this crap and bringing it into my home do you hear me? I will not have it."
Laughing again she just plucked Teddy from his arms and told him she would see him at the end of the day. "I'll let it slide this time but tomorrow I want to see you with a frown on your face. Capisce?" Without waiting for an answer he turned to his son and gave him little eskimo kisses before telling him to have a good day. Teddy just giggled and gave him a hug. "See you later Teddybear." Wandlessly making sure his glamour would hold he gave one last kiss before walking back outside to his car.
"How was it? Did the Teddybear cry when you left him?" Noah asked once he was back in his car.
"Pfft. What do you think this is? Of course he didn't cry. My son's no pansy" he sneered at Noah. "But I think we are going to have to find somewhere else for him. I think that teacher is going to be a bad influence on him."
"What do you mean?"
"She's a morning person. I don't need her teaching my son such disgusting behavior." Noah just laughed before reaching for the iphone and changing the music. "I'm serious Noah. She laughed like five times and we were only talking for ten minutes. It's unnatural I tell you. There's something wrong with her and I don't want it rubbing off on Teddy."
Just then one of his favorite songs came on. He grinned at Noah and quickly began singing along.
I've been waiting on the sunset, But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
Bills on my mindset,
I can't deny they're getting high.
Higher than my income,
My income's breadcrumbs,
I've been trying to survive.
The glow that the sun gives,
Right around sunset,
Helps me realize.
This is just a journey,
Drop your worries,
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard,
To remember sometimes.
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.****
Noah and Harry continued to sing the song throught its different verses before pulling into the High School parking lot. Harry surveyed the barely ful parking lot before talking to Noah. "Wow. We're even earlier than I imaginged. Show me to the main office?"
"Sure. No problem. Do you want me to show you around or do you want to figure it out for yourself?" Noah asked as he exited the car.
"I think I would rather find my own way. I like it better than being led around. Besides, I want to get a feel for the other students without wondering if they are treating me better or worse because I'm with you."
Noah nodded his head understandingly as they walked up the steps to the school. "Well then after I show you to the office your on your own. I need to talk to coach Beiste. Hey, have you given any thought to what I asked you before?"
"About joining the glee club? I don't know Noah. Its sounds like fun but I don't think I would get along too well with your gleemates. And what about the bears? I have to pick Teddy up by four and Sarah gets out at three-thirty."
"Look I'm sure you will get along with the others just fine. And glee is done way before four. You will have enough time to pick the kids up. Sarah will either wait with her friends or stay in the library until we get there."
"Can I have more time to think about it?"
"Sure. No pressure or anything I just think it would be all kinds of fun for you. Plus, isn't the whole reason your here in Lima so you can be 'a real boy'?"
It was true Harry thought. Other than Noah and Sarah, the high school experience was the reason he was in Lima. "I will think about it. I'll let you know sometime today."
"Okay once you get your schedule, text it to me. It would be interesting to see how many classes we have together."
"What makes you think we will have any classes together?"
"You'll see. Now here's the office. I'm gonna go. Don't forget to text me."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beat it bitch." And with that Harry walked into the office to start his first official day at William McKinley High.

*Azza is a fallen angel. The name means "the strong". Harry named his car this because...well Harry names everything. Something you will see as I continue on with the story.
**DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read. It's something I did in elementary school and although that was a looooong time ago, I know my nieces and younger sibs still have to do it. Usually the teacher reads to the class but Sarahbear's teacher is so awesome she can read what she wants.
***The song that Sarah is singing is It's a Small World. That song is literally the most annoying song on this planet. Even more than that Lambchops song.
****This song is 'Keep You Head Up' by Andy Grammer. I love it.
Well that's all. What did you guys think? I hope it was okay. Plz plz plz review. I need to know if I'm doing something wrong or didn't explain something well.
Peace out Bitches,
Ash
