I know that I haven't updated in AGES so I thought I would make up for it by forcing myself to do this bonus chapter. School starts back tomorrow and I had fun yesterday when I went to Doj-con in Dundee. If anyone was there and saw a Russia cosplayer, that was me. I know that I've just done Halloween but I couldn't get this out of my head and I had the perfect scenario. Enjoy bros!
Chapter 14: Christmas Fun
Romano was shaken awake by a very hyper London. It was only when he saw the snow falling did he realise why he had been woken so early. The pair quickly got dressed, behind the curtains that they had charmed to make them soundproof. It had helped all their dorm mates a lot with the alarm that was Ron.
They were both wearing jumpers with each other's flags on them and some warm tracksuit bottoms. They went downstairs to see a load of presents under the tree. Ron and Hermione were the only ones in the Gryffindor dorm along with Ron's siblings. The twins called them over to their position beside the tree.
"We stopped the snitches from stealing your presents and got the evidence for you. It's in the book." They whispered to the pair and they all started opening their presents. London opened the 'gifts' from the snitches first and silently banished them. They could always say that they got lost or the twins had stolen them.
From Russia they got a metal pipe and some beetroot dish that was actually pretty tasty. From France they got some 'unmentionables' that were quickly put away by two blushing immortals. From the Nordic nations they got various winter presents and some cookies made by Finland. The axis had given a variety of presents like training programs, pasta ingredients, and miniature moving dinosaurs and surprisingly packs upon pack of beer. Spain had given them some tomatoes and a light brown maid dress that London managed to save before Romano burned it. The North American brothers had sent the latest horror movies, some hockey sticks, pucks, baseballs and baseball bats.
Finally they opened the last few gifts which were from the UK brothers. England had given them some more advanced books in various subjects, Scotland had given them some warm kilts (Romano: why do men wear skirts in Scotland? London: it's not a skirt it's a kilt.) That they decided to keep for the warmer weather, Northern Ireland had given Romano a small Earth Phoenix and London an Asp along with how to care for them and the blown up remains of the Republic of Ireland's present. Wales had given them the usual present which was literally a ton of candy.
The two immortals took their gifts upstairs and got dressed into some warmer trousers and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. There they gave England and Scotland their presents and sniggered at the Prussian jumper that England had worn. They then invited the twins and the two brothers to play ice hockey with them.
A few minutes later which had included teaching the twins how to play, dragging the gear to the lake and dodging the snitches, they were finally ready to play. They had split so that Scotland, London and Romano were on the red team and the twins and England were on the blue team. England had been kind enough to charm their boots so that they wouldn't crack the ice and they could glide along the ice.
England and Romano were facing each other before they were signalled to start and England quickly hit the puck towards the opposite goal. Forge skated round to catch it but it was already taken by Scotland who was now skating towards the blue team's goal. He passed it to London who shot but it was saved by Gred. He then passed it to Forge who hit it towards England and he scored. The game went on like this for hours until the players were tired and hungry. They had tied 4:4.
Once they packed up the gear, they headed to the Great Hall for lunch and were confronted by the snitches.
"Where were you mate? We were looking all over for you!" "Harry! You should have known better than to leave your friends and go with that boy. You could have run into death eaters and we wouldn't have known. You have to be more responsible if you want to defeat You-Know-Who." The pair shouted at him and London got more and more angry until finally.
"SHUT UP! I know what you two have been doing behind my back and I want you out of my life. You are just power hungry fools and are no better than Hitler. You don't need to know where I was and you should treat your fellow comrades better. You are supposed to be the prefects so act like it and stop trying to control my life." London shouted then dragged a dumbstruck Romano to eat at the other end of the table. The snitches tried to follow but were stopped by London's harsh glare.
When England and Scotland came over along with McGonagall to see what the commotion was about London gave them the story and the teachers nodded with understanding. "If those two try anything again you will come and report to one of us and we shall take action, Mr Kirkland, Mr Vargas." McGonagall said in a clipped tone before she and the two brothers went back to the teachers table.
After lunch, Scotland led the two to a corridor with a tapestry which showed a man trying to teach trolls in pink tutu's how to do ballet. He then placed a hand on the blank wall they were in front of and a door faded into existence. "I've keyed you two into this door so all you have to do is place your hand on the wall and it should show itself. This is the Room of Requirement, a place where you can train properly and learn those new spells away from prying eyes. I thought it would be a good Christmas present." Scotland announced before leading them inside.
Right now it was a circular room with training dummies in the middle, shelf's of books lining the walls and on tables there were different objects like guns, swords and knifes. It was the perfect room for training and London turned around to his uncle and hugged him tightly. "Thanks uncle Scotland!" He said while Romano gave him a small nod in thanks. Scotland ruffled his nephew's head and left the room to give the two privacy.
Romano went to the guns and picked one up to examine it. "These are very good quality guns and it seems they are charmed to never run out of bullets." He announced to himself before quickly turning to face the centre of the room and shooting a moving dummy in the head and heart area with pin point accuracy. London looked at the various books on the shelves and picked out a defence book that not even he had heard of. It showed him various curses, hexes, jinxes and many others that he tested on another dummy. It seemed the dummies had been charmed to move.
He then moved onto learning Rune magick which meant it was an old and near forgotten art. He started that while Romano had moved onto an interesting transfiguration book that showed how to transfigure one's own body so that it could look like an animals.
When England came looking for the two later, he found them practicing and quietly flicked his wand to that two of the dummies attacked them. London held out his hand and summoned the knifes from the table and made them fly towards the dummy and surround it from every angle, aiming the tips at the vital parts of its body. Romano just transfigured the thing into a potato and shot it with the gun he was using earlier.
England clapped and started moving towards them. "It's nearly time for dinner." He said and flicked his hand, making the objects all return to normal. He lead the two to the Great Hall where the houses were all at the one table and it was filled with roast turkey, steamed vegetables, soup and various decorations. They sat in between a small first year Slitherin and a seventh year Ravenclaw and started to dig in. They laughed (or at least London did), pilled crackers, ate delicious food and talked to the other kids.
After they ate their deserts which was lots of chocolate cakes and ice cream, London London and Romano ran back to the Common room and sat beside the fire. London leaned on Romano's shoulder and watched the flames. He felt in his pockets and found what he was looking for. London brought out a small, rectangular shaped box that was neatly wrapped and handed it to Romano. "Merry Christmas Roma" He said and watched as he opened it.
Romano stared at the small necklace he held in his hands. It was truly a work of art and hand made. The chain was simple silver and at a perfect length for the Italian. The chain held a medium sized silver heart with one side showing the British flag and the other showing the Italian flag. "It's beautiful…" was all he could say before handing London a small square box wrapped in plain red paper and was blushing.
London carefully took the box and slowly unwrapped it to find a plain black box. He opened it and gasped. Inside was a simple but beautiful silver ring with the words 'my love is eternal' engraved on it. He looked up at Romano, smiling.
"Would you, Harry Kirkland, London, Give me the joy of marrying you?" Romano said, stuttering due to the nerves. London slipped the ring on his ring finger and held Romano's hand tightly.
"Yes. A thousand times yes." He said and kissed him roughly. Romano smiled a true smile before kissing back. They were just getting into the kiss when the snitches barged in noisily and stared at the scene dumbstruck. Romano broke the kiss and glared at them.
"I knew something was going on, that death eater is manipulating you isn't he?" Ron burst out and pulled London away. Or at least he tried but Romano shot a spell that forced him away.
"I have told you two time and time again that Lovino is not a death eater but obviously you two are too stubborn to realize. Lovino and I are going out and have been for a while now. I don't need you two snitches coming into my life and telling me what to do." London said roughly before taking Romano's hand and leading him upstairs.
After what they had seen, Ron and Hermione went to report the events to the headmaster. After telling him their findings they were given money taken straight from the Potter accounts and sent back to their dorm. Dumbledore was furious. His pawn was leaving him and he had to regain control before the pawn was gone forever. The old man growled and thought of how he could get Harry Kirkland to come back into his grasp.
