Happy Valentine's Day! I know this is a little late but school has started back again and so I had band on Friday night. I also had to plan for my birthday so it's been pretty hectic. My birthday is on the 19th so there will probably be a special chapter then. Enjoy bros!

Chapter 9: Hogsmead Confessions

Today was the first Hogsmead trip of the year. It was a chilly Saturday morning. The note that England had received with the paper on Friday told the four personifications to read today's Daily Prophet. They were wondering what scandal they had come up with for Dumbledore, though with the rest of the magic trio, one could be sure it would be memorable.

Since they were in the village and not at school, they were all wearing casual clothes. Scotland was in an open shirt that was normally worn with the kilt he had on. England had finally let his mask fall and was wearing his old clothes from the punk era (because punk isn't dead!). It consisted of a tight black 'Sex Pistols' short sleeved top, Black ripped skinny jeans, knee high black boots covered in buckles and a black leather jacket with the rolling stones symbol on the back. He had the tips of his unruly hair dyed electric blue and had his ear and tongue piercings in. Romano had a black fedora with his curl sticking out at the side, red converse, white skinny jeans and green long sleeved shirt on so he looked like an Italian flag. London was wearing a blue long sleeved shirt with black waistcoat, red skinny jeans and white knee lengh converse. On the back of the waistcoat was a union jack, artfully stitched on to show his punk side.

The group was walking up the path when they saw the Bad Touch Trio up ahead. France and Spain where wearing their uniforms and were getting some strange looks from some people since they were a bit showy. Prussia was less showy with white top, black jeans, black and white shades and a black leather jacket with a Prussian Eagle on the back. He had his Iron Cross on the jacket, resting over the heart to show his military status.

They slowly walked up to the trio and they were shocked to see stick in the mud England looking like the rebel they thought he had left behind. France started to tease England because he was going punk again and Scotland because he was wearing a skirt. For the next hour France was going to be in a lot of pain.

Spain started teasing Romano and was inching his hand closer and closer to Roma's curl. He had almost caught it when he was stopped by Romano's gun and some roots that London had summoned with his wand less magic.

Prussia has snuck up behind his 'little birdie' and grabbed him around the waist. This immediately caused England to jump and blush at the unexpected action. He tried to struggle out of the albino's grasp but gave up when he found no escape. Once the Prussian felt his captive give in, he relaxed his hold. When he did this, England swiped Prussia's feet from under him and pinned him to the ground.

So the result was a Frenchman with injured vital regions, a Spaniard caught by the ground facing a Mafioso's gun and a Prussian pinned to the ground by an English punk. And for a certain Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, that was good enough to report to the headmaster for more gold from the Potter vaults.

Once the trio had been released they explained their purposes of being in the village. France was there to meet with Scottie for a few drinks. Spain had decided to follow France so he could try out the Scottish wizard beer. Prussia just wanted to see his little birdie and secretly seize his vital regions.

Hearing that he had some drinking buddies, Scotland dragged to the nearest bar which was the Three Broomsticks. England started chasing Prussia down the path and into the woods. This left London and Romano to walk to the village together. They walked in silence, not sure what to say to each other.

They reached the village and headed towards the local sweet shop. London bought an assortment of different candies for Sealand and Romano got some pasta flavoured sweets for Italy.

After that they got a butter beer in the Three Broomsticks and saw Scotland and his drinking buddies downing some fire whisky. Spain loved the drinks and France was enjoying the burning sensation it gave. Scotland got a fireball and was keeping it in his mouth while he drank the fire whisky for as long as he could.

Afterwards the pair just walked through the village and came to a small area where no one could find them. It was a little clearing in the middle of the forest with the sun shining on it and flowers blooming in different colours. The pair sat down and relaxed, happy to be away from the noise of the humans constantly around him.

"London." Romano said and London turned round to face him. "I like you." Romano said, blushing and tilted his head to face the ground.

"Do you mean it?" London asked and Romano slowly nodded. It was strange to see him so silent. He had been silent all day and hadn't been as rude as he normally is. London blushed and said the words that he had wanted to say since World War 2. "I like you too."

With that, Romano launched himself at London and kissed him. They kissed for what seemed an eternity before they finally parted, breathing in oxygen to fill their screaming lungs. They started kissing again, deepening it so as to taste more of each other. After a while the sun was starting to set and they made their way back to meet the castle. They spotted England waving to Prussia with slightly flushed cheeks. They all met Scotland back at the castle and headed in for dinner.

A special announcement Daily Prophet was soon carried to all the students and teachers with a subscription during the middle of dinner. The hall was soon filled with chatter when the article had been read. London and Romano looked at their copy and smirked when they read what their colleagues had come up with.

The article itself was written by Rita Skeeter so it was made worse by her scandalizing words. It talked of Dumbledore's wrongdoings and how he put a dangerous mind block on Harry Kirkland who was then de-aged and placed with the Potter's who thought he was their son. Then it spoke of how he stuck him with abusive muggles while turning a blind eye to the abuse. She was wondering if it was safe to put children's lives in the hands of someone who did this to the saviour of the wizarding world.

"The bastard's in trouble now. All his pawns are getting wary and his connections are probably pulling away from him. Too bad you are known to be 16 or we could have gotten you out of school. If you put in extra effort and do the 6th year exams then maybe we can get you out of here by the end of the year." Romano said and they held hands beneath the table. Since England had that explosion and the others were hyped up about teaching the kids about themselves, they would have to wait until the end of the school year to wipe their memories of the knowledge of the nations.

There were a few letters from parents telling their parents to be wary of Dumbledore and to message them if anything else happens. Dumbledore's credibility was being taken away piece by piece and there was nothing they could do about it.

Later that evening London and Romano made their way towards the DADA office. They had to serve detention starting tonight and it would go on till next Friday. They knocked on the door and entered. They were instantly blinded by the amount of pink in the room. All the walls and table were pink and there were plates with cats on them all around the room.

"Right you two, you will be doing lines for me this evening. Mr Kirkland you will be wrighting 'I must not tell lies' and Mr Vargas you shall be wrighting 'I must threaten teachers'." Said the annoying toad lady. They sat down at the small desks covered in even MORE pink. They picked up the quills but noticed they were missing the ink.

"Cagna, we don't have ink. How the hell are we supposed to write the damn lines?" Romano asked and London was struggling to hold in the laughter.

"Well Mr Vargas, what would that mean? Please speak English when talking to a teacher. You won't need ink as these are my special quills." Said the toad in a shrill voice. It made London want to cover his ears that should have been bleeding from the noise.

"It means teacher in Italian." Romano says and they both start the lines. They knew that the quills were blood quills and that the things were illegal as soon as they started writing with the damn things. Once the teacher got them to stop, their hands had the words carved in the back. Thankfully they weren't deep enough to scar but they had a feeling that it wasn't over.

They headed towards the dorm and went to bed. On Monday one of the other nations would be coming so they had to get rest for the person.

Well guys that's the chapter. I'll just explain a few things since your all probably really confused.

London is known to be 16 since his father is known as 37ish. This was so that could get rid of the manipulating old bastard, keep him in the school and make it legal for him to leave after the year was over legally.

Cagna = Bitch
