AUTHOR NOTES: Hello Hello.
This will be a Hogwarts Hetalia Fanfiction. Hetwarts, I just united Hogwarts and Hetalia :P The inspiration comes all from JK Rowling masterpiece, so locations, situation, etc have a great inspiration from HP. Secondary characters may come from Harry potter world, but this is a hetalia fanfiction, and the story is about hetalia characters.
Chapter 1 is just an introduction, and will show couple of the main characters getting sorted by the sorting hat, and how they perceive each other.
After this chapter, the story will continue like a book, not as short snap moments like this intro.
English is my second language, and I don't have a beta. Actually if anybody wants to volunteer, I would love it J

WARNINGS: This is a yaoi fanfiction. There will be gay couples (And some straight, like Austria/Hungary), so if you don't like it, don't read it.
This first chapter is year 1, clearly the M rating is for when they are older J

PARINGS: wait and see? :P Actually nothing fancy, the usual ones ;)

DISCLAIMER: Hetalia is not mine. I wish it was, if it was mine it would be WAY more Shounen-Ai.
Harry potter is also not mine, or Harry would not be with Ginny. I can guarantee you that.
This story is written for fun!

For The Very First Time

North Italy

It was finally his turn. Italy could not believe it. He spent the whole train ride talking to his brother about how he could not wait to finally enter Hetwarts and be sorted into Gryffindor.
His brother did not seems nearly as excited as he was, but Italy could not care less. He was used to Romano being indifferent. Or pretending to be. In fact, Italy was certain Romano was probably as nervous as he was. Their grandpa Rome had been a Head Boy and captain of the Quidditch team for Gryffindor, and although he told them it did not matter where they ended up, they both knew he secretly was praying for the red and gold house.

Now, walking down the great hall, staring at thousands of floating candles under a rainy sky, he could just feel the excitement. There were 4 tables filled with students with a standard uniform, but he could spot right away the different tie colors. In front of them, the teacher table and, on a small chair, the hat. Italy knew what was going to happen, the hat would talk to them and then they would have to try it on. And it would be the beginning of his student life at Hetwarts.
Taking deep breaths, he could barely listen to the words of the headmaster and the hat.
He stared as the first students getting sorted, the different houses clapping and cheering for their new members.

And then his name was called.
"Italy?" The older woman in a dark green dress was calling him. He was petrified for a moment. He waited for so long for this moment, and now it was it.
"Italy? North Italy?" His name was called a second time. He could not move. His brother pushed him from behind and he ungraciously stumbled in the front.

"Hi" He said, waving his hand at the older lady, probably a teacher. She did not look impressed.
"If you don't mind…. " She pointed at the chair, and he rapidly sat down. And all went dark.
The hat was so big it completely covered his eyes.

"ohhh… Roma's grandson. I was wondering if that guy managed to find a poor lady who married him…. Seems so" The hat had an ancient voice, but he was clearly making fun of him.
Italy was confused "Shouldn't you sort me?" he thought strongly, hoping that's how it worked.
The hat laughed in his mind. "Do you want me to sort you? It seems to me you already made your choice… I just wonder if you are sure. Gryffindor is the house of the brave and pure of heart" a moment of silence followed, and Italy bit his lower lip.
"I'm pure of heart"
"Yes, but are you brave?"
Italy felt himself shaking. "I can be. I could be. Grandpa is."
The hat hummed. Italy imagined him as an old guy, caressing the tip of his long white beard.
"If you feel strong enough about it, it is your choice. Remember, the future is what you make of it. Being brave is not only about your actions, is also about standing up for your feelings and what you believe in. I'm sure you'll do well little… GRYFFINDOR"

The last word was shouted out loud.

Italy was so happy he started to run towards the clapping table with the hat still on, and he had to run back to give it to the old lady. She was staring at him like he was a moron, but he could not care less.
Between the laugh of the whole school, he sat at his table, feeling absolutely fantastic.

Romano

Of course his fabulous younger brother got into Gryffindor. He was the apple in the eye of Grandpa, and now he had one more reason to be the favorite. Not that Romano did not love his younger twin brother, he did, but sometimes… sometimes he just wished he could be the one good at something; the one grandpa complimented. Grandpa loved him all right, of course, but he always had a brighter smile for Italy.

Romano shook his head, watching Italy almost taking the sorting hat to the Gryffindor table; he had to suffocate a laugh. Italy was Italy, and no matter what he would protect and love his brother. Now that the moment of bitterness had past, Romano started to observe the other students. He was in line next to a skinny looking Asian with short hairs, and in front of him there was a tall good-looking guy with darker skin and green eyes. Romano was already jealous of him, he could tell that guy would be popular with the ladies.
Giving a look around the 4 long tables, he could see the Slytherin table had already couple of new members. 4 young boys with blonde hair were sitting at the beginning, staring at the ceremony. He instantly disliked them. Not only were they Slytherins, and he already heard everything he needed to know about them from grandpa, but they also looked cool in a cold way. One had almost white hair and red eyes, and the one next to him was super bulk. Who needs all that muscles at 11? And the one in front of them seemed to have purple eyes, and a strange aura around him. Definitely weirdoes.

He kept scanning the tables, while the Asian in from of him went to the hat.
Hufflepuff new addition included two very good-looking girls, he sure hoped they shared some of the same classes.
The Asian, the name seemed to be Japan, ended up in the nerd house, Ravenclaw, and he sat next to a guy with short black hair and glasses.

"Romano?" His name was called, and he walked very carefully towards the hat, avoiding to make a scene like his brother. He sat, and the hat was put on his head.
"Another one? Does Rome wants to take over Hetwarts with his descendants?"
Romano stayed silent, feeling almost nauseous. Not that he would ever admit it.
"I see… you want to be in Gryffindor too, but believe me, you would be great in Slytherin. It would make you stand out from your brother, and I can see you can be rather sneaky"
Romano shook his head "please don't. I don't want to be separated from Italy. He needs me to look over him and… and I want to be part of the family"
He could never confess it to anybody, but not getting into Gryffindor would make him feel even more isolated. It would be grandpa and Italy together, sharing all the Gryffindor talk, and him in a corner. He could not have that.
The hat sighed "Then the decision is made. I'm not doing this because of your brother, he has enough strength to be by himself… and you also. But your heart has decided".
"GRYFFINDOR"

After taking the hat out, all Romano could see was the red and gold table exploding into claps, and his brother bouncing up and down super excited. He had to smile.

Germany

"We are so going to be the king of Slytherin" Prussia commented animatedly, staring around the great hall while were walking towards the teachers table. Germany just did not care very much. He knew he had the attitude of a leader, he got trained by the best tutors in every type of magic, and he could safely say he was good at it. He was good at almost anything.
Still, he was not entering this school to rule Slytherin, like his cousin was planning. He just wanted to see where life would take him. He would train his body and soul, and then he would become whatever he wanted. Maybe even join politics like his grandpa Germania.

"The German brothers, living the dream in Hetwarts. It's just sad that it rains all the time here, it means people are going to wear warm clothes, and I was really hoping to check out pretty girls…"

Germany just lifted his eyes on his cousin, not commenting.
His eyes scanned the people in line behind him. A couple of Asians looked very serious, a guy with wavy, long, blond hair was chatting up a pretty girl with long brown hair and an exotic look. Behind her, two guys with weird curls sticking up from their brown hairs were chatting with a thick accent he could not yet place. Spain maybe? Portugal?
Both of them moved their hands a lot, and were looking around the room.

"I'm going to be the hero of the school. This is best school in the world, that's why I came here." Germany moved his eyes from the Latino twins, or he assumed they were twins, to a blond guy with blue eyes and a friendly but sure of himself decision.
"Yes dude, this school is just awesome" Prussia, commented and the blond guy smiled back broadly before getting called out. The guy was sent to Gryffindor, and then it was his turn.

"Germany?"
He stepped forward, walking in few steps to the chair. He could hear people whispering while he walked. He knew he was rather big for his age, hopefully sports guys were considering him for the teams.

The hat went on.

"ohhhh so much ambition. And potential. You are a bright one. And smart." Germany could help but smile lightly, it was nothing he hasn't heard before, but it was different getting those comments from an ancient magical hat created by 4 of the greatest wizards in history.
"You'll learn lots at Hetwarts, about yourself and what you need. I'm looking forward to see how you turn up to be."
Germany mumbled "of course I'll learn… wait, about myself? I know who I am."
"We shall see…" and with that last whispered, eerie comment, his destiny was announced
"SLYTHERIN"

Two minutes later, his cousin sat right next to him, wearing a shiny silver and green new tie.

Japan

Hetwarts was spectacular. Candles floating, open magical roof that shows the weather outside, an immense lake and park, and he was sure he even saw a forest somewhere outside the castle, but he could be wrong since it was so dark when they were escorted by magical carriages.

He was ready for whatever was coming. He would learn lots, and perhaps, one day, he would open his own school. And maybe, just maybe, he would make couple of friends this year…
Japan opened and closed his hands, feeling himself almost sweat.
He was a great student, but he was home-schooled and always had a bit of trouble making friends. Hopefully living 7 years with other students of his age, sharing a bedroom, would help him making friends. He really wanted that.

Looking around, he noticed the stern looking blondes in front of him, and felt somehow intimidated. Maybe he would not start with them…
Looking behind, he noticed to animated speaking guys. He assumed they were twins, and they seemed friendly enough. Maybe they would get sorted in the same house. Shifting on his feet, he noticed another Asian first year, who was already examining him. Japan gave him a small smile, but the other guy just kept a hard look on his face.
"Maybe not him…"

Students were starting to get sorted. The two stern looking blondes went into Slytherin, and the other Asian student also joined the same house. The two twin brothers got sorted into Gryffindor, as well as a pretty-looking blond with wavy hair.
He smiled, taking a deep breath, when he felt an hand on his shoulders.
"Don't worry. Everybody gets a house, nobody was ever kicked out at this point"
Japan lifted his eyes, to meet a pair green friendly one staring down at him.
"Really, you look nervous, but you shouldn't. All will be fine"
Japan smiled at the guy, feeling grateful.
"Thank you… I am Japan by the…"
"JAPAN"

He was called. The green eyed guy gave him a thumbs up, and he walked to the front of the room. Too bad he did not get the name of the guy.
He politely greeted the teacher, before putting the hat on.
"Nice brain. Nice ambition. But a bit unsecure… uhm… I see, you really want to excel, and you really want to make friends."
Japan felt slightly uncomfortable. The voice was right in his head, it was so weird. It was like somebody else thoughts entering your mind. What kind of magic was it?
"I see, you like to analyze everything. Don't worry dear, I know already where to put you… you'll be absolutely great. Just loosen up a bit, it's a school, not Azkaban"
And with that, his fate was set…
"RAVENCLAW"

He stood up, sitting next to another first year student with light hair and blue eyes.
They smiled at each other, shaking hands. Japan never felt better.

England

England was quietly listening to all the conversations going on around him.
He could kind of recognize certain faces from pure-blood families' albums he had in the house, but had no interest in meeting them just yet.
He needed to make absolutely sure he hang out with the right kind of people. It was an investment for the future, and what was expected from a member of his house.
He was part of one of the older and most important pure-blood houses in the world, and his family expected him to maintain a certain behavior and get to know the right people while he was at school. His whole family went to Hetwarts, and they all married pure-blood and maintained the right position in British society.

The blabbering of two boys made him look in their direction, scrutinizing them from head to toe. They seemed harmless, with weird curls sticking out of their brown hair and a friendly hair.
If memory served him well, they were Italians, part of Rome family, which meant they were top league pure-blood too. They just did not behave like it.
Making a slightly annoyed face, he moved his attention to 3 blondes talking to each other.
Two cool looking ones, with a similar accent, were taking to a rather flamboyant guy convinced he would be some kind of hero.

England could not stop himself from a derisive laugh, that was unfortunately heard from the flamboyant boy.
"Are you laughing at me?" The guy asked, while one of the two stern looking guys was called to be sorted.
"May I ask who would you be, to be convinced to become Hetwarts's hero?" The tone was dripping with sarcasm, that was not missed by either of the guys in front of him.
"My name is America" the boy answered, either ignoring or not understanding his sarcasm.
The other guy, with red eyes, was just staring at him interested.
"America… from which family may I ask?"
The other guy closed his mouth, and he saw his look getting harder. England smiled satisfied. It was like he expected.
"Forgive me, but to become a hero you'll need to be the best at many things, and with the limited power of a … " he considered the right choice of words, lifting one hand nonchalantly " Half-blood?" He did not wait for a confirmation "you will definitely not shine. Too many of us come from prestigious pure families, and we have way more power."

America was about to answer, when the red eyed guy got called. Prussia.
England smiled.
"You see? That guy you were talking to? HE has the right potential"
And with that, he moved ahead of the guy, not giving him a chance to reply.
Half-blood were mere dust.

When his name was called, he sat on the chair. The hat was not even on his head that the world "SLYTHERIN" was shouted out loud. He stood up, and walked at the green table, sitting next to Prussia, who was looking at him interested.

"It's going to be a good year…" Prussia whispered, and England could not help but smile, watching America getting sorted into Gryffindor. Oh yes, there were going to be 7 great years.

FINAL NOTE: Into chapter is out, it's just couple of characters, but it gives you hints about other characters placement. In the next one, there will be a huge jump of time, since I don't want to write about them as children.
I know Italy and South Italy (in the story Romano) are not twins, but I needed them to be in the same year, so twins they are here. Same Germany and Prussia, I made them cousins.
Comments are greatly appreciated. Again I apologize for grammar or language mistakes :/
I hope you enjoyed, see you next chapter.
