Swish and Flick

Chapter 14

When Harry Potter walked into the great hall with Hermione and Ron by his side, the first thing he noticed was that Alfred and Matthew were sat by one of the tables, looking practically asleep. They also had snow in their hair. Strange.

"The heck? Where were you last night?"

Alfred looked up, "…Villain." Was all he said.

Hermione poked his head, "Why do you guys have snow in you're hair? Did you go looking for Snape?"

"Did you find anything?""

"Because of Tino…"

"Tino?"

They all jumped when, yet again, the doors slammed open, causing Ron to yell,

"HOW MANY TIMES IS THAT GOING TO BLOODY HAPPEN!?" As well as receiving a few odd looks off a few people, though it didn't last long as everyone stared at another newcomer.

Well, technically, five newcomers.

One with spiky hair, a black coat and blue eyes ran over to the Gryffindor table and hit Alfred's head with a red letter, "Hey, Alfred! I forgot to give this to you!"

"Dane, don't be mean."

'Dane' turned to the one with light blonde hair and violet eyes,

"But Tino~! This'll wake em up. And I promised!"

"Because you can really keep promises."

"You wound me Norge." They all stared as 'Dane' mock fainted. Less that a second later, Alastair had shoved him too the floor, "You guys are so cruel!"

"Nah, just payback!"

"The hero should be getting payback for that disgusting snow!"

They all turned to Alfred, who had taken a small red envelope off 'Dane' and was now staring at it curiously. Matthew looked up to examine it too, as the rest of the newcomers came over when Hermione exclaimed,

"You've got a howler!"

Alastair sniggered,

"A what?"

"Just bloody open it!"

"You sound like Iggy…"

The people nearby fell silent as Alfred turned over the envelope, revealing a little seal that Matthew couldn't help feel looked familiar…

Everyone's musings however, were cut off as they letter opened itself and then shaking the room as it began to yell,

"AMÈRIQUE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MON PETIT MATTHIEU!?" Harry, Ron and Hermione jumped at the sound of the voice, laced with a French accent that caused everyone to stop and stare. Alastair and 'Dane' already on the floor laughing. "WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU DRAGGED HIM OFF TO NOW?!"

Matthew sighed, having never seen this coming. He really should've, though it all went downhill when everyone heard another voice,

"HEY! WHAT THE FICK IS WITH THE YELLING?!"

Alfred started laughing, leaning backwards a bit too much and falling off his chair, joining 'Dane' and Alastair with fits of sniggers and cackles. Even the shy looking blonde with violet eyes - Tino - was sniggering lightly.

"ALFRED HAS DRAGGED MY PETIT MATTHIEU OFF SOMEWHERE AND ANGLETTERE IS MISSING!"

"WHAT..? ALFRED WHEN YOU GET BACK I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

There was suddenly the sound of fizzling, causing Harry to jump as Tino sniggered a little louder,

"GUYS! I'M TRYING TO COOK PAELLA HERE!"

"DON'T MATTER RIGHT NOW SPANIEN!"

"BUT MY ROMANITO IS MISSING~!"

"WE'LL GO GRAB BEER OVER IT LATER!"

"…FINE, BUT YOU OWE ME MI AMIGOS! NOW PUT THAT STUPID THING AWAY BEFORE THIS TURNS OUT LIKE INGLATERRA'S SCONES!"

And with that, the envelope burst into flames, leaving an all out silence as everyone stared. Well, it would've been silent without 'Dane', Alastair and Alfred's laughing, along with the sniggering from the rest of the newcomers. Apart from two of them. They seem unaffected. Alastair and 'Dane' however…

"You got the bad touch trio to send you a howler! HAHAHA!"

"Lil' bro's gunna kill ya when he finds out!"

"The hero will handle them!"

Matthew's head hit the table with a moan, "Why, oh dieu why?"

All of the teachers turned as Dumbledore stood up. And started clapping. Which only made Alastair and 'Dane' laugh even more,

"That was very interesting to say the least. Alfred. Matthew. Who are your friends here?"

Tino suddenly snapped his fingers, a small brown letter appearing in his hand as he ran over to Dumbledore and handed it too him.

"…Ah."

Alistair was still laughing. Everyone else was still staring.

"Hahaha! This is almost as badass as the time Iggy got a star stuck in his head!"

Hermione had found the voice to be able to butt in, "That's impossible…"

"Who the hell are you!?"

Their laughter was caught short as they sat up, turning to face the Slytherin table where a certain Draco Malfoy was stood up, staring at them all incredulously, "Wait till my father hears about this,"

Surprisingly, it was the most unemotional one who answered (Norway, to Alfred and Matthew)

"And then what? Get us kicked out? I'd like to see that happen." He then bowed mockingly, "Lukas Bondevik,"

'Dane' raised an eyebrow before joining in, "Matthias Kohler,"

"Tino Väinämöinen."

A tall, rather intimidating man also joined in "Berwald Oxenstierna."

"Emil Bondevik."

"And what are you doing here?"

"None of ye' ruddy business," Everyone turned to Alastair, who was glaring rather defiantly at Malfoy while patting Matthias's back so he didn't choke from his laughter. Harry looked at Hermione and Ron,

"You think he hates Malfoy?"

The two merely nodded, not willing to speak as Dumbledore once again spoke,

"Alastair, I do not appreciate you planning to murder my students."

Draco gulped, though Alastair looked rather offended,

"Who says I was going too?"

"Well, Alastair -" Alastair whacked Matthias's back a little forcefully, causing him to shut up as Norway grinned a little.

"So, what are you guys actually doing here!?"

Matthias grinned a little sheepishly at Matthew, "Sorry Mattie, but - we promised Franc-…is and Gilbert that if we found you we'd look after you."

Alfred stared, "But the hero was fine looking after him!"

Hermione noticed the glare Alastair gave him, but nobody noticed as yet again, Dumbledore was speaking,

"Seeing as we don't have the Sorting Hat. We cannot put you into houses yet but, seeing as you are so familiar with Alfred and Matthew, you can stay with them."

Matthias and Alfred grinned at each over. Harry and Matthew were incredibly worried.

And then there was silence.

"Well, seeing as you guys don't appreciate our awesomeness. I shall have Finny here teach you a lesson or two." Matthew glared at Matthias, who looked rather smug, until Draco called out,

"What's the wimp going to -"

His sentence however, was unfortunately cut short as there a loud fizzling, followed by loud laughter as the smoke around Malfoy cleared, revealing a very girlish Draco with bright red cheeks and extremely wide eyes. A few people turned to Tino, whose wand was slowly being lowered by Berwald.

Draco was quickly out of the hall, though a few of the lingering ghosts that had watched the magnificent entrance quickly followed him, laughing amongst themselves.

Harry looked at his two friends, "I think this will make our detention worth it."

"Detention?"

The three looked up to see Matthew looking at them, a grin still on his face as Matthias and Alfred were congratulating Tino.

"Yeah…"

"Draco's fault."

"It looks like you got payback!" The four looked up to see Alastair's grinning face, before he turned to Tino rather seriously,

"Me' brother's going to kill you."

Tino shrugged a little, before hiding behind Berwald, who simply answered,

"It was worth it..."

Alastair's goofy grin was back almost instantly,

"Oh yes it was. It was."

It was night, where Matthew was aware of Alfred's staring at him as he leaned against the window, staring out into the lake as they heard the Nordics laughing down in the common room,

"Ok bro, spill it. What's up?"

"The sky!"

"Shut up Dane! This is serious!"

Matthew snorted slightly,

"Come on Mattie. Pleaaase…"

A sigh, "I'm worried."

"About?"

"England." There was a short pause,

"Oh."

The air seemed a lot colder and there were sudden shouting from the common room. The brothers exchanged looks before running towards the little balcony.

"Holy shit what is that?!"

By Lukas's side, was a large creature that looked a little like the troll they had fought, except it's skin was smoother and it looked older and wiser and it wasn't at the brink of destroying the ceiling. Somehow. Harry, Hermione and Ron were staring at it with wide eyes,

"Bloody hell!"

"We've faced enough trolls!"

Lukas rolled his eyes, "He's harmless…"

"He's a troll!"

"Kom hit," They all watched with wide eyes as the troll turned to Lukas, tilting his head before becoming misty, wind picking up in the room before disappearing quickly. The cold air remained, causing Alfred to ask,

"Dude, why does this feel familiar?"

The Nordics and the golden trio looked up, before their eyes went wide and Tino gasped.

"…What?"

The fire behind them suddenly flickered out and without it's cackling, one thing was very audible,

"Kolkolkolkol…"

Matthew and Alfred looked at each over, before slowly turning around. Alfred jumped, nearly falling across the balcony.

A certain figure smiled childishly at them,

"Previet. Become one with Mother Russia, da?"

A/N: Ah Finland, your reaction time shall continue to amaze me. I'm not incredibly proud of this chapter, partly because it's a filler to tell you what's going to happen with the Nordics. And to fit in the character everyone was asking fooor! xD. YOU ALSO SAW THE BAD TOUCH TRIO SEND A HOWLER! I had so much fun writing that xD.

Anyway, I now have to actually write the next chapters, so it may be a while till I update. I'm also at a cosplay meet tomorrow. Buuuuut, the holidays start next week, so then I'll have loads of time. I have the best timing EVER! XDD I'm so happy everyone got the portal reference, which reminds me, did anyone see that extra episode where Iceland calls Norway big brother? You guys remember whenIggy got a star stuck in his head? You guys know who has appeared...Thats a stupid question.

ANYWAYS! I shall tell you what Russia was doing there next chapter. But I actually have to write and think first, so updates may be little slower...BUT I STILL LOVE YOU ALL I PROMISE! Also, I wonder what the history between Draco and Alastair is... Now...For that homework I abandoned...

Hasta luego~!
