Teaser for book four. Kurt, Rachel and Blaine discussing elves and gay rights. Well who would've thought that I can twist it into that? ;)

„Would you stop it Rachel? They like the way they live, so leave them alone! "Kurt said annoyed as he launched back in the armchair close to the fire.

"I really thought you of all people would understand." Blaine didn't know how Rachel could manage to sound both disappointed and challenging at the same time. It seemed to be a Rachel-thing and as Blaine knew one of those that drove Kurt mad. It did achieve what Rachel seemed to have wanted as Kurt opened his eyes and glared at her.

"Why is that?" Kurt snapped.

"'Cause you're gay." Rachel answered matter-of-factly, raising eyebrows.

Blaine saw the confusion spreading over his face but he composed himself in the matter of a second. He took a moment to sit up, turn and smile at Rachel with open contempt (is that too much? I just want him to be really bitchy and like: gulr what ya talking bout and well when I write at school I mostly just write dialogue so im making everything else up along the way…)

"Okay, what has that to do with anything? Some narrow-minded Muggles might call me a fairy but that doesn't mean I'm an elf."

Kurt continued to smile but Rachel just shook her head, giving him a patronising look.

"You already said it." She leant back in her chair and crossed her arms across her chest. "This is about equality in the end. About letting people choose how to live their lives. Straight, gay, Muggle, witch or elf; we all should have the right to create the lived we want."

"People you say. Not elves." Kurt sounded like he was stating the obvious and maybe it was that what made Rachel snap.

"Do you even hear yourself talk?" She screeched, jumping to her feet. "That is racism, Kurt. That is discrimination." Her eyes were glinting and Blaine felt the passion in her speech. Kurt only rolled his eyes at her outburst.

"No, don't give me that look. I can relate and I thought so could you." She stared daggers at him but all Kurt did was give her a raise of eyebrows and a quizzical look.

Rachel sighed, clasping her hands together, taking a deep breath before she pointed at them.

"Kurt, you and Blaine don't believe in the differences between Muggle born wizards and pure bloods but other people do. Sebastian has spread his hate on me since day one. That is racism. And even before that. I have two gay dads and homophobia is more widely spread than you might think.

So don't act so innocent because I recognise injustice, inequality and discrimination when I see it."

Kurt had shown no sign of emotion throughout Rachel's speech and his voice was dripping with sarcasm as he answered.

"Well I am sorry that I cannot relate like you had hoped but the wizarding society has always been more modern than the Muggles. Being gay or female has never been a disadvantage like it still seems to be in the Muggle world."

At that Rachel actually laughed. She threw her head back and didn't seem to be able to stop. Blaine looked at Kurt but Kurt's eyes were fixed on Rachel. They had seen many sides of Rachel in the last four years. Happy Rachel, ambitious Rachel, sad Rachel, cocky Rachel, obnoxious Rachel, furious Rachel, caring Rachel and even sweet Rachel. But this side was completely knew and sort of frightening to both of them.

Rachel was still laughing, her long brown hair falling into her face as she held up one finger, telling them that she was about to continue. As she had composed herself she was smirking. She had one hand on her hip and wore a look that both boys knew too well. It told them that she was sure of their argument and about to drop knowledge on them.

"I wish you were as good in history as you are in transfiguration." Rachel cooed at Kurt. "You are aware that there was a law in 1496 forbidding homosexuality between wizards because, and I quote, it is a threat to the development of the wizarding world"?" She paused, bathing in dumbfounded look on Kurt's face. Blaine was only confused. He didn't know what to think right then but before he could start to process the discussion, Rachel continued.

"Kurt, there were times where muggleborns were more accepted than gay wizards because at least they would get children with magic powers.

Kurt stayed silent, worrying his lip between his teeth, while Rachel stared at him intently.

Rachel's voice was softer when she continued. She seemed to understand that what she was saying was new and confusing for her friend.

"The acceptance of gay people may seem normal to you Kurt, and sure it is nowadays but it is still fairly new. Just because even to pureblood families, like the Smyths, having a gay son is no matter of discussion doesn't mean that 150 years ago they wouldn't have disowned and repudiated him."

Rachel looked at Blaine who managed to smile at her despite the thoughts racing in his head.

"All I want to say is: Things change Kurt. Things that seemed right and normal 2 generations ago are now seen as wrong because there was somebody saying no because they saw the injustice. I just always took you as one of those people Kurt."

Blaine looked between Rachel and Kurt.

Blaine did see the similarities. He did know how he had been insulted as gay at his old school. It was just something that was thrown at him but he had never taken it as something insulting. There were gay people and he was just indifferent. To him being gay wasn't something that defined a person. It was just a preference, like somebody favourite colour or if they like rock or rather pop music.

Hell Kurt was his best friend, the boy he trusted and relay on most in his life but he had to admit that treating elves as something of lower value did come close to homophobia or racism.

On the other hand: he had come to accept many things since he had entered the wizarding world that he had thought of as weird or unusual. Maybe that was just another.

Kurt and Rachel were still staring at each other until the boy's face split into a sly smile.

"Well then Rachel Berry. You may have a point and I do think that you should "let people choose how to live their lives" as you put it. So I will march and demand equal rights and freedom for elves as soon as they speak up and claim it."

He snuggled back into his seat while Rachel just gaped at him.

"I can't believe you but you will see, Kurt Hummel. You will see how wrong you were all along! And you too Blaine! And now if you will excuse me." Rachel exclaimed, giving both boys another fierce glare, before grapping her books and storming towards her dorm.

Blaine couldn't even get a word in to defend himself before Rachel had stormed out of sight.
