Merry late christmas everyone! ^.^' Yeah, I know I'm way to late with this chapter! Sorry! But I thought you'd a christmas special anyways, so here you go! And yes, it's only Germany's and Spain's povs. Yao and Toris will have theirs on new year!
(Jett is Australia)


"Wow." Was all I could say as I entered the Great Hall. There were no words to describe how amazing it looked. The christmas trees were impossibly high, there were decorations everywhere and thousands of lights illuminated it.

Gilbert and I stayed at Hogwarts during the break. Our parents were at a business trip (who has business trips over christmas) and going with them was not an option. Feliciano and Lovino had decided to stay too. I'm not quite sure why though. Kiku and Heracles had both gone home, unfortunately.

Lovino and Feliciano seemed as amazed as I. Gilbert however, had spent christmas here last year as well, and just snickered at our reactions. "Pretty awesome, right?" He asked. We could only nod in response.

The food was amazing as well. And there were so much to choose from! Feliciano built a mini Mount Everest on his plate and somehow managed to eat it all. Gilbert did too, but then again, that was my brother we're talking about. Same for Feli I guess.

They had also put wizard crackers on the table. Small exploitation echoed through the hall as people cracked them. Feliciano got a wizard chess set and after dinner we had an epic chess tournament that Lovino won. He was surprisingly good at it! He beat Gilbert with ease, something I think disturbed my brothers ego more than just a little. After all, Gilbert had been 'The Great Master of Wizard Chess' as he'd liked to call himself. Too bad brother, not any longer.

We played a lot of different games. Elizabeta, a girl in Gilbert's year, whom I was more than sure he had a crush on, joined us after a while. Mostly to kick Gilbert's ass. Which she often succeeded with, may I add.

After a while, we had more people joining us, Gilbert's, cough jock cough, friends Matthias, Jett and Alfred. Vash younger sister Lilly, and Vash himself, but I think he joined because of Lilly. After a while, Roderich Edelstein, Gilbert's rival in love joined too and the tournament became both bigger and more heated. Those two love rivals simply couldn't stand one another. But we still had a lot of fun. We made a big tournament of all the games and teamed up in pairs. But since we were an odd number of people, Elizabeta, Gilbert and Roderich ended up on the same team. Let's just say that caused many hilarious moments, a few bruises and a couple of heated arguments. Also, frying pans should be kept out of board games. Muggle guns too. Where did Vash even get that thing?

Finally, after what seemed like hours of playing, Feliciano and I decided to give up and return to our dorm. Lovino and the others choose to stay and play. But when Feli and I reached the door, someone coughed behind us.

"What?"

Gilbert smirked like an evil cat. "Look up, bruder dear."

….Oh. Verdammt. A mistletoe. All the 'gamers' behind us, except Lovino, were either laughing loudly or at least giggling quietly.

"Come on, bruder, it's tradition! Kiss your beloved Feli now, would you?" A humming from the rest of the players indicated that they agreed. Well, minus Lovino, that is. Elizabeta mumbled something that sounded like 'omgomgomgomgYAOI' whatever that meant.

"Shut it, Gilbert." I mumbled.

"Ve~ We can just kiss on the cheek, right?" Feli asked.

"No, no, no! On the lips, of course!"

"I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT!" Was heard from Lovino, but Matthias simply out a hand over the angry italians mouth and said. "Come on guys, it's just a peck! Go for it!"

I glanced nervously at Feliciano. "Um…" I began, but had no idea how to continue. Feli looked up at me and smiled.

"Are you okay with it Luddy?"

"What? I mean...um….yeah...I mean….what...eh…."

Feliciano just giggled, stood on tiptoe and pecked me on the lips. The kiss was almost over before it started.

Wait.

He kissed me.

Oh my god, he just kissed me.

My face burned like thousand volcanoes and I looked down on the floor just to not look Feli in the eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't get much time to recover, because a furious italian boy managed to break free from the dane with the crazy hair and the other cheering guys and tried to attack me. I took Feli's hand on impulse and simply ran.

When we were finally safe in our dorms, we just stared at each other before starting to laugh hysterically. Feliciano fell down from his bed and rolled around on the floor laughing. The entire situation had just been ridiculous and it felt amazing to just being able to laugh about it. But I still had to talk to Feli about what had happened.

"So…. Feli, that...you know, kiss….um…."

"Was it bad?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Um, no, nothing like that! Just eh…."

"Hm?"

"I..eh… I like you!" Was what I managed to blurt out. Fantastic. I'm as awesome as my brother.

Feliciano stared at me, then smiled softly and walked over and hugged me. " I like you too." He whispered.

What? Did I hear that right? Feliciano liked me too? A big smile cracked up on my face as I hugged him back. "Then…" I said when we pulled away. "Would you like to be my boyfriend, Feliciano?"

I had barely finished the sentence before he hugged me again. "Of course, Luddy! Of course, of course, of course!"


Spain's pov~


"Antonio, there's a package for you!"

"Gracias, mamá!" I got up from my lazy position on the couch and walked over to her. She handed me the small package. It was neatly wrapped in brown paper and light brown laces. I walked back to the couch and began unwrapping it. In it was a box and a letter.

Ciao, tomato bastard.

Just so that you know, it wasn't my idea to write this fucking letter. That albino potato bastard forced me to. Fucking bastard. Anyways. I hope you're feeling we-... Fuck, I can't erase ink. It's not like I'm worried about you. I'm just worried about my herbology grades. Not that I have to depend on you for them. I just think it would be boring to study on my own. Not like I'm lonely. Nope.

Okay fuck this bullshit. You know I'm worried about you. Don't you dare have an attack like the one you had by the lake. You made me fucking worry about you and I hate you for that.

Of course, this was when Sofía decided to start reading over my shoulder. "Ooh, got a letter from your boyfriend, hermano?"

"Sofía! I don't have a boyfriend!"

"Hm? Our little Tonio's gotten himself a boyfriend?" Came a voice from the kitchen.

"Papá!"

"Oh hermano~ You're so cute! Everyone knows you and Lovi are crushing on each other!"

"We are not!" Well at least he's not. Thanks for your input mind, now shut up.

"Whatever you say, hermano. Whatever you say." Mumbling quiet curses in spanish, I grabbed my things and headed up to my room. Sitting down on my bed, I continued to read Lovis letter.

So you better not do it again, okay? Anyways, don't read the rest of the letter until you've opened the box okay, bastard?

Why are you still reading this you idiot? Because I know you are. Hurry the fuck up and open it, god damn it.

Smiling, I reached for the box.

Oh. My smile grew wider. A necklace with a tiny round metal plate. And on the plant was a tiny painting of a spiky bush. Just like the one that had almost stabbed Lovi and had send us running from the greenhouse. I laughed fondly at the memory.

Shut up, I know you're laughing! Consider it a christmas gift. Merry christmas you damn bastard.

Lovino

I laughed even louder and reached for paper and ink to write him an answer. Half way through the letter, I realised something. Smiling again, I started going through my many boxes. Soon, I had a bracelet made of a slim metal chain, a metal plate similar to the one on the necklace and paint. Soon, I had made a bracelet matching my necklace. Lovino would probably write something along the lines of 'Bastard, why did you do that? I don't need us to have fucking matching jewelry!' But he'd wear it anyways. He was always so cute!

Which led me to that question. What should I do about my crush on him? It was kinda hard to decide when half of my brain screamed at me to go for it and the other told my shut up and just act like normal. Though I guess my 'normal' was somewhat…. Affectionate?

"Hermano! Mamá says we can open the gifts now!"

"Comming!"


I received the next letter just two days later, which was incredibly fast. Did Lovi hex his owl or something? Anyway, it started like this:

THAT BLOND POTATO BASTARD JUST MOLESTED MY INNOCENT BROTHER!

He ranted on like that for a while. I counted the times he used the words bastad, potato and idiot. 27 times in total. When he'd finally calmed down, he explained the situation for me. Apparently, Ludwig and Feliciano had ended up under a mistletoe. What happened after that, beside the fact that they kissed, was somewhat unclear, though I'm unsure whether poor Ludwig made it out alive or not. Though Lovi, more or less, admitted that he was somewhat happy for Feli. Just afraid Ludwig would hurt him in any way. He was so sweet! Always so protective and caring. I know Lovino loved Feliciano a lot and that he just worried about him.

I had written to Francis and Gilbert too, of course. But Lovi's letter made me feel happier than anything. I missed him a lot. For the first time in forever, I wanted to go back to school.


Christmas break floated by smoothly. Everything was perfect. At least, that's what I'd told Lovino, Francis and Gilbert. In reality, it was quite the opposite. My illness was getting worse, day by day. My parents worried about what to do. Should they even let me go back to Hogwarts? On this part, I made it clear that yes, I would go back to Hogwarts. I wasn't that ill. If I just took it easy and didn't participate in any form of physical exercise, I'd be fine. Well, I hoped so.

The doctors didn't know how to cure my illness. They called it 'a muggle illness'. They were still trying to figure out some kind of spell, or potion that could help me. My parents started to think about taking me to a muggle hospital. Though that was in many ways ridiculous. We, as wizards, couldn't go to a muggle hospital. No, the entire idea was stupid. The doctors we had would figure something out. Probably.


I think it was three days after Christmas. I woke up and everything felt normal. Breakfast went by without trouble. After breakfast, I made my over to our library. Suddenly it felt like my heart stopped. I couldn't breath. Everything happened so fast. I barely registered my mother's terrified scream as I fell to the floor. I don't even remember landing. I didn't have time to think, everything just ended.

I woke up hours later in the hospital. Alone. But soon, I was surrounded by my worried family and doctors and nurses. Though I'm not sure how worried the last two groups were. They talked way too fast for me to follow, mixing spanish and english out of worry. Poor doctors. They probably didn't understand a single thing. After a while, they left me alone and I fell asleep almost immediately.

Next time I woke up, they told me I'd have to stay here for a few days. Amazing. Sofía assured me she'd come up with something to entertain me, but honestly, I had little faith in her. Man, was I wrong! Always trust your siblings people!

When I woke up the day after Sofía told me someone wanted to see me. Without waiting for my response, she snuck out of the room. And in came…

"Lovi!"

"Ciao, idiota."

"What are you doing here?"

"Visiting you." He said, sitting down on the chair next to my bed. "What the fuck does it look like?"

"I just wondered how you go away from Hogwarts. I thought you'd spend the break there."

"Not a problem." Was his only response. "Are you….Are you okay?" He asked hesitantly, blushing a little.

"Yeah, don't worry." I smiled. "I felt like crap before, but I'm okay now."

An awkward silence fell over the room. "So…" I began, wanting to break the silence. "What's it like at Hogwarts now?"

That got him talking. He talked about his brother and Ludwig and their relationship. He talked about Gilbert and what an idiot he was. He talked about the other students there and how annoying they were. I just sat there and listened, laughing and making comments. We had a great time, but I soon felt tired again. I tried to suppress a yawn, but failed miserably. Lovi glared at me.

"If you're tired, just say so idiota. I don't want you to get fucking worse."

"It's okay Lovi I -yawn- I'm okay…."

"Just go to sleep. You should rest." He mumbled, blushing a little again.

"Mhm…" I mumbled, starting to drift asleep. "Hey Lovi? Thanks for coming to see me. It was...it was nice of you…."

"Sh-shut up. Idiot." It could have been my imagination, my tired mind tricking me, but just before I fell asleep, I heard a whisper in my ear. "Get well soon, Antonio." Then something soft touched my cheek and I couldn't stay awake any longer.
