A/N: Hi, RabidFangirl here! And I present to you the new chapter of 'The Problem of North American Wizards'
I'm really sorry about the wait. And, I promise to try and update more regularly, in the future.
As always, criticism is welcome. I thank everyone who has favourited, followed, reviewed, or just read my story.
It means allot.
I would also like to thank my amazing editor, for all of the help she's given me. I would never be able to do this without her.

To say the least, Alfred was apprehensive about this magic mumbo jumbo. He really wasn't quite sure how to feel about the situation. After all, his country didn't have the best track record pertaining to witches and wizards.
Salem, in particular being a very touchy topic for him.
But here he was, being half-forced-half-guilted into attending some magical school, Pigfarts, or whatever it was called, by his former caretaker.
Despite his anxiety about the situation, he couldn't help but feel a childish excitement bubble up inside of him. Especially when Iggy stated that they would be traveling to -what'sitcalledagain- alley. By floo powder, a form of magical transportation.
The American's mind whirred fervently, as he thought about the possibilities of what this "floo powder" could be.
"Will it hurt?" he asked animatedly, quickly going off topic. "Will it take a real long time? Wait, no, this is magic we're talking about, it'll go the speed of light, right? Wait, if wizards can travel at the speed of light, does that mean they can time travel? Cause I watched a documentary on time travel once, and-hmm? What is it Mattie?"
Pausing mid-rant, he felt a light tap from Matthew on his shoulder.
Confused as to why his brother had cut him off, Alfred glanced at his twin. He was pointing toward Arthur, who had crossed his arms, and was glaring at the American as he impatiently tapped a steady beat onto the floor.
"oh!" he exclaimed in surprise, "What did ya want Iggy?"
"Ahem, as I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted, today we will be traveling to Diagon Alley to pick up your school supplies. Now, what are the rules again?"
"No calling anyone by their country name," said Matthew, rolling his eyes.
"And no 'tom-foolery' of any kind." Alfred added, in loud monotone.
"And what will the punishment be if these rules are broken?"
"Failure to abide by these rules will result in being taken home, immediately." They said in bored unison.
"Good." Arthur said curtly, ignoring their sarcasm. "Now, as I stated before, we'll be reaching our destination by floo powder, a form of magical transportation. Listen carefully, as I will not explain this again."
Arthur then, walked toward the large fireplace in the middle of his sitting room, and picked up a jar of what looked be ashes."This is floo powder." he explained. "Throw the powder into the flames, step inside, and shout the name of your desired traveling point."
After speaking, England did just that, and the twins watched in horror as their caretaker disappeared with a shout of "DIAGON ALLEY" and a whoosh of bright green flames.
"Well..." said Canada after a few moments of stunned silence, "I guess we'd, er...we'd better get going"
"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!" America shouted, making Matt cover his ears."IT ATE IGGY! NO WAY AM I GETTING IN THAT THING!"
"A-Al, I think that was supposed to happen."
"You think so?" Al said, his voice dropping in volume
"Yes," Matt reassured firmly, despite his own nervousness. "England did exactly what he said you're supposed to do."
"Okay then!" he said enthusiastically "In that case, I'm going first because I am the HERO!"
Making good on his word, Alfred went over to the fire, threw in the powder, stepped inside, and then confidently screamed,
"NIRAGON DILLY!"
A/N: Hi guys i hope you liked the chapter! Sorry it so short, and I'll get the next one up as soon as possible. :)
Lalala123: well there are several reasons, but for one, I thought it would add more suspicion on the part of the golden trio, that two strange boys were just starting at Hogwarts, at thirteen. Two, I wanted to add a boggart scene, and them being in third year is an easy way to facilitate that. And three I'm just more comfortable writing them as an older age. Thanks for the review! :D
Robin Rani: Thanks I'm really happy you thought it was funny :) and i promise to try my best!
Anime lover 3593: ^_^ thank you so much, for both reviewing, and for the constructive criticism.
I'm really glad that you like my choice to make the golden trio teachers, I was actually pretty worried about whether people would like it.
The grammar I try my hardest to work on, and now I have a great editor who'll help to fix my mistakes! In this chapter, I did try to apply your suggestion of writing in Alfred's point of view, though POV is definitely something I have trouble with.
Purpal'ice: aww thank you, I'm glad you liked it! And I'm absolutely ecstatic that i made you laugh XD
Canadian Otaku 2001: thank you. I appreciate the review. :)
Lukas le stelle: Cool :) AND OMG THOSE ARE AWESOME IDEAS CAN I STEAL THEM?
leafdapple3: sorry it took me a while to update, I'm gonna try to be more efficient in my updates now. :)
It must nice to have a sister that's into hetalia though, my sister and i don't really have much in common
thanks for reviewing :)
Fairygirl34: Thanks! :)
