Chapter 20: The First DA Meeting and a Letter to Japan
Alfred and Matthew were in the Room of Requirement waiting for the first DA meeting to start. Everybody except Feliciano and Ludwig were there. Knowing the Italian, they figured he probably thought it was going to be like Germany's training and the German was forcibly dragging him there.
"No Germany! Don't-a make me go! Per favore!" they heard the Italian scream as the German carried him in.
Italy was kicking and screaming, desperately trying to get away from his friend. Germany just rolled his eyes. Feli was no match for Ludwig's strength. Also, the German was used to this by now.
He set Feliciano down and the Italian immediately tried to run. Germany grabbed the back of his robes at the neck causing him to be yanked back and fall on his butt. Ludwig clapped his hand over Italy's mouth.
"Enough Italien! You are not going to die if you come here. Zis is nothing like training." he scolded his ally before removing his hand from Italy's mouth.
"Ve~ but Doitsu! Giappone's not here. I can't drag him off to get pasta halfway through." Feli whined.
Germany would've face palmed if he wasn't pinning Italy down. The Italian then continued rambling on about Japan and pasta. Eventually America up and put his hand over the Italian's mouth before he could reveal too much. Feli still continued rambling but it was muffled and impossible to understand.
"Danke, Alfred." Germany sighed.
"You're welcome dude. It's the hero's duty after all." Alfred replied.
That last comment caused Canada to face palm. His brother's idiot act was annoying sometimes. But Matthew understood that one of the reasons Alfred acted like that so he didn't scare everyone else. A smart superpower was terrifying. But he wasn't an idiot. He did win an intellectual war against Russia after all.
Germany and America finally stepped away from Italy, who was too busy rambling about his 'fratello' to notice. Germany rolled his eyes again but gestured to Harry to get on with the meeting. Italy would eventually wear himself out and take a siesta.
Harry started talking about disarming. He then called for volunteers to demonstrate. America's hand shot up. Harry called on him and Feliciano. This caused the Italian to stop talking. He got excited, because he had no clue what was going on. If he did, he wouldn't be excited.
He and Alfred ran to the center where Harry was waiting. He explained what was going to happen. The two nations faced each other, wands ready. Well, Alfred had his wand ready. Feli was still wondering what was going on. The boy who lived gestured to America.
"Expelliarmus!" America cried and Italy's wand flew out of his hand.
"Ve~ what just happened?" Feli asked.
"Dude, you gotta pick up your wand and say the spell I just did." Alfred told him.
"Ve~ okay!" Italy cheered as he picked up his wand. "What-a was that spell?"
Harry told the Italian what he was doing. Italy saluted, with the wrong hand, indicating he understood. He pointed his wand at America.
"Expelliarmus!" he cried, causing the American's wand to fly across the room. "Ve~ Luddy! Did you see that?"
"Ja, Italien. Good job." Germany praised causing Italy to blush.
"Now I can tell Kiku and fratello that I did something useful for once!" Italy exclaimed.
"Vhat do you mean by 'for once?' You've done plenty of useful things." Ludwig said.
Feli's smile faded. "Name-a one."
"Zere vas zat time you und Lovino captured Arthur und held him in prison before Alfred came und rescued him." Germany pointed out as everybody started pairing up to practice. Nobody was paying attention to the two nations.
"Ve~ he would have-a escaped if you hadn't been in Italy those days." Italy pointed out, his lip trembling.
"Nein Feli! Don't cry! Let's see, Zere vas that time in Egypt vhen, vait nein, I had to rescue you. Zere vas that time vhen Arthur vas, nein, Nikolai came und started beating you up. I know, zere vas that time in North Africa vhen, nein, ve both got capture und Kiku had to come get us." he was desperately trying to find a situation in which Italy did something useful. "Oh ja, you saved the vorld from aliens by drawing silly faces on zem."
"Ve~ but I always run away and make you-a mad! I'm useless when it-a comes to war!" Italy sobbed.
"Nein Feli! You defeated Sadiq vhen you vere a child. You just underestimate yourself." Germany said in a sort of akward attempt to comfort the Italian. "Und you always keep up Kiku's und my spirits. You always know how to put a smile on our faces. You're strong vhere it counts."
"You-you really think that?" Feliciano asked.
"Ja Italien. You are my best friend und one of my most important allies." Ludwig assured him. "Und disarming Alfred just reassures zose thoughts."
"Ve~ gratzie Luddy!" Italy cried as he wrapped his arms around his friend.
Germany returned the gesture. "Bitte Feli. Now let's see if you can disarm me."
"Ve~ sí Captain!" Feli exclaimed while saluting Ludwig with the wrong hand.
He sighed. "The other one Feli."
Finally, the DA meeting ended and everyone went back to their common rooms. Alfred started chattering with Canada about how they were actually learning how to do "hero stuff" with magic. The northern twin was polietly listening and responding when the southern twin stopped to take a breath.
Feliciano wrote to Japan about how he disarmed Germany, America, and "America's twin" (he couldn't remember Canada's name).
"Ciao Ja- I mean, Kiku! Hogwarts is fun. The cooking is better than Arthur's. But they don't serve pasta. That's okay though. I sneak into the kitchen and make it. The house elves are nice and they said they might make it for dinner one night. Miss Hu- Elizabeta, Mr. Rodreich, Aleksander, Vlad, Gilbert, and Lukas have visited us. You should come sometime. You could meet my new friends! Speaking of, I learned the disarming spell. I disarmed Alfred, Luddy, and Alfred's twin (Markus? Michael? I forget his name). I actually did something useful for once! Fratello writes to me weekly. He's so nice for taking time out of his day to send me howlers. Alfred's and Marcello's (Is that his name?) sorella also helps fratello write them. Sometimes one of Alfred's states helps too. I've already met Marie from Ohio and William from Michigan. According to them, more are coming. I can't wait to meet them! I have to go now. Tell everybody I said 'Ciao!' and write back soon. Ciao! Your friend and ally, Ita- Feliciano Venezanio Vargas. P.S. Alfred says to write to him too. He misses you and so does Luddy."
Italy stuffed the letter into an envelope and wrote "Kiku Honda" on it. He ran to the owlery and mailed it, hoping it would reach Japan's house tonight so he could write back. He then returned to Gryffindor Tower before stripping to his underwater and crawling into Germany's bed.
