10 Sweet vacations

Days passed again, leaving the school back to normal. The howler being finally forgotten and changed for quidditch and the rare speculation about the troll. Germany was happy that it appeared that no one had discover about how the beast had died, one day of persecution had been enough to remind them why they kept their existences as a secret for the world after the wars, if this were curious little childrens how would adults that had works purely based on gossips act?

But even if the school was back to normal, their academic lives were not. If most of the students had forgotten, the teachers were far from it. Quirrell had yet again changed the way he treated them, he passed from ignoring them as much as it was humanly possible to treating them like if they were gods or something even more ridiculous (was there something more ridiculous than being the personification of a whole country?) Japan would not have been surprised if they stopped going to classes and would still have a perfect score. Shamefully Snape had become the complete opposite to this, demanding more from them than even from Harry Potter himself. Germany, and everybody else for the matter, was sure that Italy would have not even been capable of entering alone to the class if the german wasn't there. But, they reminded themselves, at least Mcgonagall was still acting normal with them... kinda .Only one thing had changed about her, the stare, the one that only told them that she was more than aware that something was really wrong with them ...you know? Mcgonagall was actually the worst, after alll, they had lost the trust of maybe the only adult with common sense.

But of course not everything was bad. Hermione thanked them as soon as she saw them again. Everybody was surprised that it appears to be Italy from all the possible people the one that changed her for the better (that or the 3 metter troll, but the first option sounded way better.) When everything was fine, Hermione proposed to study together, Germany and Japan were more than happy to accept, the other 3 were far from liking the idea. At the end, they were glad that everything was looking finally good for both the kids and their vacations.

It was finally the morning of the first quidditch match of the season and Harry was feeling like he had just been hit by a car, twice, even when everybody was just giving him the best of the wishes... ok, most, there was no way that somebody didn't notice how some of this "best wishes" were far from it, the best example being guy just gave him a white flag and told him that running away was ok. Harry was so glad when Ludwig stopped his best friend... and started speaking to him like as if he was going to war, just to have a slow and painful death. Was this how people cheered up each other in their countries?!

Thankfully (or shamefully) the hour of the match finally was here. He said goodbye to his friends that gave him a final good luck wish before leaving for the enormous tower around the field.

"Luddy?" Asked Italy when they were almost there, as he barely saw that the blond was going back to the castle even before the match started.

"Sorry, but I think i can't accompany you." he then started to walk back to castle but he was rapidly stopped by Italy.

"No! it will not be fun without you." Italy said hugging Germany's arm while staring at him with the nearest thing to an angry face that the auburn could make, face that only made him look cuter than normal.

"I don't think I'll be welcome there." He replied looking at Ron who was dying to leave them there.

"Don't be silly!" Italy said with a smile, trying to drag him to the others, failing miserably.

"Why do you only give up when is not important?" he finished with a sight before being him the one dragging Italy to the towers.

And as they took their sits next to Hermione, Ron and the hairy man from the first night, Germany saw his prediction come true. He was received with whispers and stares that only told him that not matter how much of a 'traitor' he was, he was not going to ever be able to get rid of the Slytherin part.

After a while into the match, Japan was pretty sure that Germany had forgotten already that most people were still not happy with him there. Since almost the start of the match, they had been discussing all the things that not only made quidditch an unbalanced game but also a really dangerous one, specially for people so young. Japan was trying his best to put as much attention into the game as in the words of his friend, especially because he was in his side with all the 'you may fall into your doo-' wait, what?

"Is that normal?" He asked as loud as he could so that Hermione and Ron could also hear him. All the others rapidly followed the place where the japanese boy was pointing at: the out of control broom in which Harry was mounting.

Hermione, Ron and Hagrid started rapidly in a discussion about how and why this was happening, having the nations just as audience.

"Ve, shouldn't we help?"
"Even if we were able to find a way to help we would get again in trouble."
"But we promised that we were going to protect Harry."
"Yes but we can't get in more problems, and what are we even going to do?" Japan was able to see the pained look in Germany's face even with his harsh words. But right now was not the time to talk to his friends because Hermione had just said really interesting things.

"Hagrid-san, can I take your binoculars?" Japan asked when Hermione disappeared rapidly to another tower after also using the binoculars.

"Sure" Hagrid responded absent minded, giving immediately, with too much extra force, the binoculars to the little nation. He was more preoccupied in what would happen to his little friend than anything else.

Japan immediately started to look for Hermione with the aid of the binoculars. He inspected the area that the girl had been observing just moments ago. With not much trouble he was able to spot Snape doing something that looked just like the curses Hermione was talking about just moments before... or was it? he had also read about counter-curses and he could clearly remember that both looked ridiculously alike.

He stored that information for later, now it was more important to fine what was Hermione going to do exactly. He inmediatly finally spotted her, just some meters away from Snape, crashing with a fleeting Quirrell.

Japan retired the binoculars the moment that Quirrell disappeared from the picture and Ron and Hagrid started to shout. Harry was finally safe in his broom. Soon the stadium was roaring the moment the boy took the snitch out of his mouth, announcing the end of the game and Slytherin's defeat.

Soon the whole school was again in the ground. Some stayed to keep celebrating but most were already going back to the castle. The group found themselves next to Harry after the people congratulating him and saying he did great disappeared, leaving him with a face that was shouting that this had to be a dream.

"What 'bout some tea?" Asked Hagrid almost beaming to the little ones.

"We are really sorry but we can't go with you today. We still have things to do."
"Ve?! what things?!"
"Someone didn't finish some really important things..." Italy just laughed nervously, remembering the numerous papers half way done that had to be sent back to Romano that sunday.

Germany soon took Italy by the arm and obliged him to return to the castle, leaving with only a look in the eyes for Japan, making him know that they had to speak about the occurred as soon as possible.

"Could I join you?" Japan asked, distracting the others away from the funny way they were staring at the leaving nations.

"Sure!" Say Hagrid rapidly, patting the back of the smaller one with a force that could easily send anyone flying.

"Ooh, sorry, but boy, yer strong!" A big smile appeared in the giants face that make Japan remember that he had not introduced himself formally to the groundskeeper.

"I'm Honda, Kiku Honda." He say while offering Hagrid his hand. The giant laughed and returned the gesture.

Soon they were in hagrid's modest hut, speaking about what had just happened and how everything may or might not be Snape's fault. Japan stayed silent, just listening to their opinions and making his owns. He was going to defend the potions professor along with Hagrid but Harry then decided to bring certain information to the conversation.

"He tried to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween. It bit him. We think he was trying to steal whatever it's guarding."

"Harry! Kiku doesn't know that."
"Well, Hermi-"
"How do you know about Fluffy?"
"Fluffy?"

Japan could not but feel like in a world meeting, just chaos. Hagrid rapidly explained how he got the ... dog. He decided to let the conversation go between the other, he knew well that if he try to help Hagrid to maintain the curious children from the artifact he would have ended bringing up the truth about the poor security measures of this place.

He noticed that they were really not missing him in the conversation but at this point he really didn't have a side, Snape was acting really suspicious but it was not enough to just go and make him the sole suspect...

"...Professor Dumbledore and' Nicolas Flamel" Japan could swear how his heart stopped along with his train of thought. Had Hagrid really given them such an obvious hint?

Hagrid rapidly added that it was getting late, that they should go back to the castle, hastily closing the door the moment all 4 of them were out.

"Kiku?" Hermione stopped to talk to the nation that was walking a little behind the other kids.

"Hai?"
"You know who Nicolas flamel is, no?"
"... Why you say that, Hermione-kun?" He asked back cold, leaving the girl a little uncomfortable.

"You barely said anything."
"Well, I was a little... confused. A three headed dog? Snape-sensei trying to kill Harry-kun? How could I say something?"
"Maybe we should explain him, Hermione." Harry spoke after seeing the duo being left behind.

"Yes, what Harry said... what are we talking about?" Ron said, getting into the conversation after seeing he was walking all alone. Hermione and Harry stared at each other, somewhat in the way that Germany and Japan did, maybe they had more effect in them that what they through.

"In the third corridor there is an enormous three headed dog, Fluffy. He is protecting something and Harry saw how Snape was trying to steal it. Now we know for sure that there is something and that something has to do with this Nicolas Flamel." The girl's eyes sparkle full of curiosity.

"Am I... the only one you have told this?"
"You and Hagrid."
"So you have to promise to not tell anyone else." harry and Hermione looked into his eyes, giving Japan the feeling that getting them out of all of this was going to be really difficult.

"But this is dangerous! is not about being expelled or not, is about your lives."
"But you think anyone will listen to us? is obvious that Snape wants that and nobody is stopping him!"
"And if you are wrong?"
"Kiku, you saw Harry's broom, that's not normal, it has to be Snape." And Japan found a wall. They were sure about all of this and there was nothing he could do to change this.

"... I will help you." He said, with a newfound ground where to stand. He would not let them get into more trouble, even if this mean his vacations would become stopping at all cost 3 children from getting killed... that was going to happen, wasn't it?
