I love Pottertalia and decided to make a story for the nations, but couldn't decide who to write about, so I had this idea :) There will be many different plot lines going on at the same time.
Why the nations joined Hogwarts: They decided one day that they wanted a break from work. England suggested Hogwarts, and seeing as the nations inherently had magic, they agreed. Not everyone decided to go, but the ones who did took potions to make themselves seem 16. They would be in the same year as the Boy Who Lived (per England's preference). Dumbledore was informed of their request and agreed to keep their true identities secret.
The first part of this story will just be a little more set-up and then there is a list of what house each nation is in. After that, each story is a sort of one-shot focusing on certain students (the first one being "Pasta!"). Enjoy!
…
On the last day of Hogwarts, after the feast, the whole school was put into a shock when Dumbledore added an announcement about an addition for next year at school.
"Did he really just say 'foreign exchange students'?" Ron exclaimed as he grabbed the last treacle tart.
"And fifth years—that means we'll be taking classes with them!" Cho Chang smiled happily.
"I'll bet loads of them won't be Pureblood," Draco sniggered.
"I can't wait to befriend them!" Ernie Macmillan could already imagine it.
The teachers were gossiping amongst themselves as well.
"If they're as pea-brained as our students are now, I dread the day they come." Snape scowled darkly.
"I wonder how many of them will join the Gryffindor family!" McGonagall pictured her lions welcoming all of the exchange students with open arms.
"I wonder how the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will take the news," Trelawney predicted.
Dumbledore only smiled knowingly.

Pasta! (Featuring Snape and Veneziano)
Snape sneered as he watched the fifth year Gryffindors and Slytherins set up their cauldrons for their first Potions class.
The foreign wizards all seemed to be the idiots he'd expected them to be, especially the ones in his house, which was irritating Snape to no end.
One cross-dressing Slytherin of his was animatedly talking with a brown-haired Slytherin who kept sneaking nervous glances at another Slytherin wearing a small smile and a scarf.
A second Slytherin seemed to be a…ghost? But when Snape looked around, he couldn't see the kid anymore. Strange.
Another Slytherin with spiky hair was practically shouting as he shared a prank story, and one of the only sensible Slytherins, the one with the cross in his hair, seemed actually to be listening interestedly.
Snape groaned. Apparently, he couldn't even count on that student to maintain Slytherin's image.
The worst Slytherin, however, was Feliciano Vargas.
Snape only knew the kid's name because he'd been the one to burst into tears when Draco had walked over to him. The irritating part was that Draco hadn't even tried to intimidate the fellow housemate, he was just trying hand Feliciano the bookbag that Feliciano accidentally left in the Great Hall.
Currently, Feliciano was happily chatting with a stern Gryffindor who looked as if he was used to the other boy's endless energy.
At least Feliciano was getting his cauldron set up correctly. Snape wondered why he was already filling it with water and setting it to a boil, though.
Snape shook the thought from his head and opened his mouth, and the room instantly quieted.
"Today we will be making the Draught of Living Death. Instructions are on the board. Any idiotic mistakes will not be tolerated, and I will inspect what you have made at the end of class. Begin."
One blond Gryffindor with glasses raised his hand. "Dude, the Draught of Living Death?" he exclaimed, laughing a bit. "I don't know what that is, but it sounds cool!"
Before Snape could snap at the kid, another student interjected.
"Kesesesesese!" he laughed, red eyes glinting. "Ze awesome me knows what it is! If you drink it, you stay asleep forever!"
The non-foreign students turned to Snape with trepidation and shock in their eyes. Clearly, the foreign students had no idea how Snape ran his class, and they were about to be taught a lesson.
The Gryffindors were frowning, annoyed that Snape was about to take away house points from them like always. Though this time, it wasn't uncalled for.
Yet another kid spoke as Snape opened his mouth.
This one was a Slytherin, with dark hair and an aristocratic aura. "I am sure the whole class is aware of that, Gilbert," he told the albino with simple arrogance. "Please do not continue to speak and embarrass yourself."
When a Gryffindor girl with a flower in her hair spoke up in agreement, the rest of the foreign kids began to pitch in their own ideas.
As the chatter grew, Snape, glowering, spoke, "Quiet."
Nobody listened, and the non-foreign Gryffindors, mainly Potter and his friends, also began to talk once they saw that Snape wasn't doing anything effective.
Just as Snape decided to deduct many points, one voice rang out through the room, cutting through everyone's conversations.
"EVERYBODY BE QUIET!" the Gryffindor sitting next to Feliciano shouted.
The room went silent.
"If you want to speak," the blond guy continued in a normal tone, "raise your hand."
Feliciano's hand shot up.
"Ger—uh, Ludwig recognizes his friend Ita—Feliciano."
Feliciano beamed, holding up a cauldron full of…was that… "PASTA!"
Snape could have cried.
Needless to say, all the foreign students but Ludwig were given detention.
