Summary: A collection of interconnected one-shots about New Directions and their everyday lives at Hogwarts.
Pairings: Mainly Brittana. But also little sides of Quick, Finchel, Klaine, Tike, and everyone else. So fluffy it may make you sick. =)

Quinn was sitting quietly in the library, reading the latest issue of Witch Weekly and enjoying her rare solitude, when she heard someone come up behind her. It was Santana, who pulled up a chair and sat across Quinn, quickly burying her face in a book and making no other sound. Quinn raised her eyebrow and stared at the Slytherin student tapping her fingers on the book and bouncing her leg up and down.
"What's up with you?"
"Shh!" Santana peeked from behind her book, glancing around the room to make sure nobody was looking at them, "I'm hiding."
"From who?" Quinn asked, eyebrow still raised.
"Brittany," Santana leaned across the table, obscuring her face with her book, "She's been brainstorming ideas for costumes to wear at next week's Halloween feast and she won't stop pestering me about it. There is no way I'm showing up to that feast dressed up as a Three-Horned Blurgle!"
Quinn covered her mouth with her hand, trying to keep herself from laughing out loud, "What the hell is that!"
"I have no idea. And frankly, I don't want to know. Probably something she read about in The Quibbler," Santana rolled her eyes, "Anyway, she wants to make sure we have matching costumes, so I've been avoiding her all afternoon."
"Aw, how cute, matching costumes," Santana glared at Quinn as she smirked, "But you know, you can't avoid her forever. In fact," she glanced at her watch, "we have a glee club meeting in fifteen minutes."
"Shit! I completely forgot," Santana cursed, softly whacking her head against the table, "Damn Berry for scheduling meetings on a Sunday."
"Good afternoon fellow glee club members!" Rachel clasped her hands together with a big smile on her face. Ten other students were gathered around one of the tables in the Great Hall. Most of them were slouching in their seats, rolling their eyes, already bored or annoyed because of Rachel. Rachel's smile quickly diminished and she glanced around the table, "Wait a second; it looks like we're missing two people. Anyone know where Quinn and Santana are?"
"That's what I've been wondering," Brittany replied with a small pout on her face, "I have to show Santana my designs for our Three-Horned Blurgle costume."
"Should I even ask what she means by that?" Kurt said, fixing his red and gold tie and brushing lint of his robe.
Brittany was about to reply when the doors to the Great Hall opened. Santana walked in with her head down, and quietly sat down next to Brittany, avoiding eye contact. Quinn followed closely behind.
"Quinn! Santana! You're late!" Rachel said with her hands on her hips, "I should deduct house points from you two!"
"You can't take points from another prefect, much less another house, Berry." Quinn rolled her eyes and took out a book to read, "You would think you'd know that already after an entire year."
"Okay then, if I can't take any from Ravenclaw, I'll just take some from Slytherin."
"Why you little—"Santana jumped up from her seat with her fist raised, but Brittany grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.
"Just let it go, Rachel," Finn interrupted.
"Fine," Rachel crossed her arms, "but just so you all know, even though glee club isn't given any respect around this school, doesn't mean we shouldn't respect it. I'm going to start dishing out real punishment to those of you who don't take this seriously or who are tardy," she said, glaring at Quinn, who was completely ignoring her and reading her book, and Santana, who just narrowed her eyes.
Rachel continued to babble on about their activities for the week and what they were going to do for the Halloween feast, completely oblivious to the fact that she had lost everyone's attention. Finn rested his chin on his hand, trying to stay awake, while Sam was actually asleep. Kurt, Mercedes, and Blaine were excitedly whispering to each other about Halloween costumes. Mike, Artie, and Puck were chatting about god knows what, with Tina sitting off to the side with her arms crossed, upset that Mike wasn't paying attention to her.
Santana looked over at Quinn who seemed to be very absorbed in the book she was reading, when Brittany slid a sheet of paper in front of her. She looked down to see a drawing of a dark purple, horse-looking creature with three horns. When she looked back up, Brittany was smiling at her.
"Isn't it awesome? We can make it so it's like, a two-person costume. We're gonna look so badass at the Halloween feast!"
Santana's face scrunched up in doubt, but she tried to force a smile, "Um yeah, Britt-Britt. It looks totally cool. I'm so excited…"
Brittany's face fell at the uncertainty, "You don't like it…"
"What, no! Of course I do Britt!" Santana put her arms up in defense. Brittany took the paper and stuffed it in her bag.
"No, no. You don't like it," she said with indifference, turning her head to pay attention to Rachel, "It's okay, we can do something else."
"Britt, it's fine. We can do it. It looks really cool," Santana tugged at Brittany's arm, forcing her to turn back around.
"Really?" Brittany asked, looking at Santana with puppy dog eyes.
"Yes! I love it!"
"Okay, then!" Brittany's face immediately brightened and she took the drawing out again to show Santana, "I'm gonna be the head part since I'm taller, and you can be the butt!"
Santana sighed heavily and she rubbed her face with her hand. When she heard snickering, she looked over at Quinn who was still reading, but softly chuckling to herself. Santana kicked her leg under the table. Quinn smirked at her, but Santana's temper immediately settled when Brittany gave her a peck on the cheek.
