A/N: Erm… hello?

I lied about updating more often. But it's not my fault! Well, it kind of is but… I've had serious writers block about this chapter, not to mention the fact we've had company almost every day of the holidays that we've not been in Chester (it rained, just so say).

There should still be an update tomorrow though (No promises though!)

Disclaimer: I am known by many names. Kahn the destroyer. Ivan the terrible. Yurinnii, writer of fanfiction. But I am not known as J. K. Rowling or Hidekazu Himaruya, authors of Harry Potter and Hetalia. So I do not own the aforementioned books/films/manga's/animes.

Chapter 11

"I can't wait to go to Hogsmede!"

"Yes you can."

"Yeah… I guess you're right."

Alfred skipped in circles around Arthur, who sighed.

"When are the others going to get here? I'm so freakin' bored!" The American complained.

"Soon Alfred. We said we'd meet them at ten. It's five to ten now."

From underneath the invisibility cloak, Harry, Ron and Hermione listened intently.

"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Hermione asked.

"Because I'm trying to prove to you that I'm telling the truth! They're countries!"

"Harry, I think all the 'boy-who-lived' stuff has gone to your head." Ron stated.

"I'm not crazy!" Harry hissed.

"You two, keep your voices down!" Hermione chided.

"Kiku my man!"

"K-Konnichiwa Alfred-san." Kiku was clearly uncomfortable with being called Alfred's 'man'.

"Have you seen the new One-Piece episode?"

"Hai. But Alfred-san, there are other anime's than One-Piece, Bleach and Narut-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know Kiku. But anyway, wasn't it cool when Monkey D. Luffy did that thing!"

"What the bloody hell are they talking about?" Ron asked the other two, who shrugged.

"Ve~ Luddy, aren't you excited to go to Hogsmede? I hope they have pasta there!"

"I suppose-"

"Aiyah! I arrive and the place is ruined!"

Yao was right, for in the short space of time that the two previous conversations were taking place, a fight had broken out between Arthur and Francis (no surprise there) and the two had somehow managed to wreck the entrance hall.

"Right," Arthur had regained his composure and took charge "who are we missing?"

"Matthew!"

There was a chorus of 'who?'

"Ah…"

"I hate to interrupt, but I was the first one here." A quiet voice piped up.

"Sorry Mattie bro!"

"Let's just go already…" Ludwig sighed. The transfers left to brave Filch and his jabby pointer sensor. The golden trio were about to follow when a hand clamped down on Harry's shoulder.

"You were not going to be doing the following now little children?" The three looked up to see Ivan smiling down at them.

"N-no, not a-at all." Ron stuttered.

"That is why you are under invisible cloak, da?"

There was silence. No one knew how to reply.

"I shall let you off this time, but if I catch you doing it again, I shall not hold back. Now, run along, da? We have places to be." The scary Russian let go and followed his comrades to Hogsmede.

"That guy has to be the creepiest person I have ever met, and that includes Voldemort."

"How did he see through the cloak? Not even Dumbledore can do that!" Hermione said worriedly.

"I am not going ahead with this plan! No way in hell!" Ron flung the cloak off himself. "I am going to have a nice butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks, then buy some sweets from Honeydukes! I am not going to get killed by some freaky Russian!"

"I have to agree with Ron here Harry."

"But you need to see them! I need to show you I'm telling the truth!"

But it was too late. His friends had gone, and left Harry under the cloak alone.

Back with the nations, they had reached the outskirts of Hogsmede. Alfred, as usual, was being annoying, at least, in Arthurs view he was being annoying. He looked around, trying to ignore the American's incessant laughter. He saw a certain building, and a plan began to formulate in his mind.

"Alfred… Alfred…. ALFRED F. JONES!"

"Someone call for a hero?" The teen in question looked up from where he had been conversing with Kiku about… whatever they conversed about.

"Do you see that building over there?"

Alfred looked to where the Brit was pointing. It appeared to be a large mansion that was falling apart.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"If you can stay in that building for five minutes, you'll prove yourself as a true hero."

"Really? Then see ya later, shiplords! There's a building I have to stay in!"

"There needs to be someone to stay with you, make sure you're in there for the full five minutes."

"You can come with me! After all, it was your idea!" Alfred grabbed Arthur's hand and dragged the poor teenager away towards the shrieking shack. The others just shrugged and went into the Three Broomsticks.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::

"I changed my mind! I don't want to go in there, it's too scary!"

"But if you don't, you'll never be a true hero." Arthur pointed out, smirking.

Alfred gulped.

"I must do it. I never go back on my word… I never give up… for that's my hero way!" With that, he flung open the door and strode inside the house. The door closed behind him with a creak.

"One… two… three… four… five…" The Brit counted the seconds on his watch. After sixty of those seconds, the door was thrown off its hinges and Alfred came sprinting out.

"ARGH THAT WAS SO SCARY I SWEAR TO BURGERS THAT RUSSIA WAS IN THERE THERE WAS ALL SORTS OF CREEPY SHIT IT WAS SO SCARY IGGY THERE WERE GHOSTS AND EVERYTHING SAVE MEEE!"

"I'm surprised you lasted that long."

"I failed in my mission… I'M NOT A TRUE HERO!" He wailed, tears falling from his eyes.

"Come on Alfred, don't be like that." Arthur said, inwardly thinking 'what have I done'.

"Aye laddie, there's no use crying over spilt milk."

Alfred looked up to see a man with a mess of ginger hair, green eyes and brows reminiscent of Arthur's.

"Allistor? What are you doing here?" Alfred asked, still sniffling.

Allistor heartily chuckled.

"Why, I'm here to laugh at ye! Well, best be off." Allistor had gone as quickly as he had arrived.

Alfred stared at the place where Allistor had been. "What a pointless character cameo." He said absently.

Arthur helped the American up like he was five years old. "Come on; let's find the others before you break the fourth wall again."

Meanwhile the other members of the allies and axis were sitting in the Three Broomsticks. Francis was flirting with Rosmerta, and getting quite far at that. The others were sipping drinks (although Ivan was disappointed with the lack of vodka).

Ludwig was 'listening' to Feliciano when a certain sentence caught his attention.

"Just listen to me! They're countries, I swear to Merlin they're countries!"

Discreetly turning his head, the German teen saw none other than Harry Potter waving his arms about, trying to convince his friends.

'Scheiβe… when we told him to be quiet too… I guess he can't keep a secret.'

Ludwig looked back at his fellow nations. They too had heard the exclamation and were listening in on the conversation.

It was Yao that voiced the question they were all thinking.

"What should we do?"

"I think we should pound his face into dust, da?"

"It does not seem like his friends believe him." Kiku pointed out.

It seemed like Francis had been listening, for he contributed to the conversation with a "I guess we can just leave him for now..." before returning to his previous activities.

The chair clattered to the floor as Ludwig rose to his feet. "Nein, this is unacceptable! A true soldier never goes back on his word!"

Someone spoke up from underneath Ivan.

"Violence is never the answer."

But as usual, Matthew went unnoticed.

Ludwig stormed over to Harry.

"We need to talk."

"About what?" Harry said defiantly, even though the German was almost making him soil himself.

"About you know what."

"Erm… alright." With that, Harry got up and left, leaving his Ron and Hermione even more suspicious and thinking that Harry might just be telling the truth.

Ludwig pulled Harry into a secluded corner just as Katie Bell came out of the bathroom (not that they noticed that).

The blond teen's steely gaze was turned on Harry.

"What did we say about not telling anyone?"

"Not to do it." Harry muttered, sounding for the entire world like a scolded five year old.

"They don't seem to believe you, but if you try that again… let's just say I once killed a man with his own moustache and a grape."

Shakily nodding, Harry scarpered off back to the remaining members of his trio. He would say the German was lying… but he probably wasn't.

"It will not be happening again." Ludwig said as he returned to his fellow G8 members.

Yao visibly relaxed.

"That's good." He replied with a small smile. "If the news had gotten out…"

All the nations thought about this and paled.

"Shall we go? My work here is done." Francis grinned despite the black eye he now had.

They once again ventured into the cold winter air. As they walked back to Hogwarts, they vaguely realised they were being followed, but did nothing about it.

Not too far up the path, they met up with Alfred and Arthur. One of them was cowering under the other, glancing around with wide eyes. The other was standing there looking thoroughly disgraced and like he did not want to be in the position he was in. Guess which is which.

"How are you?" Arthur asked with his poker face on.

"Excellent Arthur-san, for the circumstances."

"Potter was telling his friends about us." Ludwig said in a hushed whisper.

"It makes me pleasure smile to think how he will be destroyed by my overwhelming power."

"I really don't think that will be necessary Ivan…" Matthew said. His statement fell on deaf ears.

The Russian was only stopped from killing the boy-who-lived by a scream. Everyone looked up to see Katie Bell floating six feet above the ground, her back arched. All of a sudden, she fell to the ground with a sickening thump.

Both Arthur and the golden trio rushed forward; Arthur to see if his citizen was alright and the golden trio because they are general do-gooders who see if people are alright.

"What happened?" Arthur asked the other girl, who no one had noticed up until now.

"We were just walking when she screamed and flew up into the air!" Leanne broke down into sobs.

"It's alright." The Brit patted her back in a comforting way before looking to the other three. "One of you, go get a professor!"

But before anyone could get one, a blond and black blur ran past.

"I'll get one because I'm the hero!"

Alfred was back to his normal self then.

"Is everythin' alright?" Hagrid asked with concern evident in his voice.

"I don't know…" Yao said, looking at the surroundings.

"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Arthur shouted. Ron stopped mid-way to touching the brown package that Katie had dropped when she began to float. "It's cursed." He stated.

"What's going on here?" McGonagall came bustling along, closely followed by Alfred.

"White flag see? White flag!" Feliciano waved his white flag about, to the surprise of no one.

Arthur stopped patting Leanne's back and stood up.

"I think it's best for Leanne to explain." He said, looking comfortingly at the girl.

"Who knew Arthur could be so… nice?" Hermione said. The other nations looked at Alfred, who shrugged.

"I do remember when he did that to me, when I'd had a nightmare or something."

Everyone except the countries were confused.

"Right… let's get Miss Bell to the hospital wing, shall we?" With a flick of her wand, McGonagall had levitated Katie. "Everyone else, come with me."

They walked up to Hogwarts. Feliciano looked scared to death about what would await them, and the rest remained emotionless. They had been under interrogation before, after all.

"I know exactly who did this."

All eyes turned to Harry.

"It was Malfoy."

Everyone groaned.

"Because he's a death eater."

Hermione and Ron groaned. Harry could be a broken record sometimes. First the transfers being the personifications of nations, and now this.

"Quit your jibber jabber!" Alfred told harry before bursting into laughter. Slightly awkward laughter as no one else was laughing.

Professor McGonagall and Hagrid sighed. How were they going to get any information about what happened out of this lot?

A/N: Hey, it's a long chapter.

I am not sneakily sneaking in my opinions about the big three at all… nope.

Did any of you get all the references I put in there? I'm just going to say there are references to Naruto, The Yogscast and Hetalia.

I know nothing about One Piece, being too lazy to watch it myself, so I don't know if there has been a new episode or not, or what happened in it.

Don't kill me for my opinions, but please R&R.
