Chapter 21: Christmas With the Order

It was getting closer to Christmas and Dumbledore had asked Arthur to visit Grimmald Place and the Order of the Phoenix. Of course that meant the other nations were going along too. They really didn't want to face the rest of their fellow nations. And Alfred didn't want to deal with chaos that are his states. Of course knowing them, some would find out where he was and come, magical protection or not.

Harry Potter and the Wesleys left before the semester ended and that had pissed Umbridge off more than the time Prussia and Slovenia interrupted dinner. Arthur was finishing packing while the other nations were waiting for him. He just hoped America and Russia wouldn't destroy the headquarters for the Order.

Surprisingly, the two didn't even talk the entire train ride to London. America talked with Canada about hockey because it was that time of year. The Canadian was actually getting involved because his personality does a 180 when hockey's involved. Italy was playing with his cat and chatting with Germany and Hermione, who the younger nations invited to ride with them. Russia was drinking his vodka and writing a letter to China. And England was reading.

Finally, the train reached London. When they got off the train, a young, thirty something man with grayish hair and shabby clothes greeted them. With him was a young woman with bright pink hair. They approached the nations and Hermione.

"You're Mr. Kirkland, I presume?" the man asked.

"Yes." Arthur replied. "I'm Arthur Kirkland."

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Remus Lupin and this is Nymphadora Tonks, but just call her Tonks." he introduced.

"Sup dudes. I'm Alfred F. Jones and this is my doppelgänger, Matthew Williams. Iggy's our big brother." America said. "That creepy guy in the trench coat is the Commie Bastard, I mean, Ivan Braginski. And these are our friends, Ludwig Beilschmidt and Feliciano Venezanio Vargas."

"Ve~ it's-a nice to meet you." Feli said. "Doitsu, are we going to see Ja-Kiku? Or fratello?"

"I hope your bruder doesn't come. I don't think I can take listening to his, er, colorful language." Germany replied. "Und for the millionth time dummkopf, it's Ludwig."

"Dude, Romano coming would be as bad as Mexi coming or worse, my st-relatives." Alfred stated. "Right Mattie?"

"Oui." Canada agreed.

"Well, let's get going then." Lupin said. "I presume you're coming too, Hermione?"

The nine of them set off. Lupin and Tonks lead the nation's to Grimmald Place. Lupin showed the six nations a piece of paper that said "The head quarters of the Order of the Phoenix is located at number 12 Gimmald Place." Out of nowhere, number 12 appeared between numbers 11 and 13. The two members gestured the nations inside. They went to the kitchen where a plump, red headed woman was.

"Hello dears. I'm Molly Wesley. Ron's, Ginny's, Fred,'s and George's mother." she greeted.

"Hello Mrs. Wesley. I am Arthur Kirkland, the History of Magic professor." England replied before gesturing to the North American twins. "And these are my younger brothers, Alfred F. Jones and, er..."

"Matthew Williams, eh." Canada supplied.

"Yes. Sorry about that Matthew." Arthur apologized.

"It's okay, eh."

"Ve~ I'm Feliciano Vargas. It's nice to-a meet you." Italy said eagerly. "And this is my good friend Luddy. And we are- ow!" Germany hit him on the back of the head.

"I am Ludwig Beilschmidt." he introduced himself. "That's not how you introduce people, dummkopf."

"And that Commie over there is Ivan Braginski." America said while pointing to Russia.

"Alfred, you bloody git! How many times do I have to tell you the Soviet Union is broken up?" Arthur scolded. He turned back to Mrs. Wesley. "I apologize ahead of time for my little brother."

"I am not little!" the American protested.

"You're the youngest here, git." the Englishman countered.

"It's alright. And please, it's just Molly." she told him.

"Would you mind if I hang a mirror in the kitchen?" England asked. "It's enchanted so we can receive our mail."

"Not at all, dear." she assured him.

She called Harry and Ron down to show them to their rooms. England hung the mirror and swiped the Russian's water pipe.

"Oliver, get your bloody arse over here." Arthur called. The 2P Englishman appeared, startling Lupin, Tonks, and Mrs. Wesley. "If you or any of the others try anything, then I will use Ivan's pipe and bash your bleeding heads in. Pass it on to Lucino."

"Now Artie, there's no need from violence." Oliver said cooly.

"Well then, pass a message to Allen from me." America ordered. "If I see him or his baseball bat, then I'll put a bullet between his eyes."

"Ve~ if I see Lucino, then he'll see what I can do with a knife." Italy added.

"Now Alfie, Feli, is there really need for those kind of threats?" the evil Englishman asked.

"Ve~ sĂ­!"

"Fine, I'll pass the message." Oliver agreed.

He disappeared and Arthur threw the black curtain over the mirror. He turned to the three order members. "Just stay away from this mirror. I'm confident that my spells will hold and keep them in there."

Harry, Hermione, and the Wesleys left with some Order members to go see Mr. Wesley. This left the nation's alone with Sirius Black.

"It's a pleasure to meet you in person Mr. Black, eh." Canada said.

"Matthew, right?" he asked.

"Oui."

Sirius turned to America. "And you must be Alfred."

"Have we met before dude?" America asked.

"Not officially. I believe you were sleep walking." the ex-convict replied.

That statement caused America to turn a deep shade of red before starting a fight with Russia, in Russian since that is one of the many languages Alfred knows thanks to the majority of his citizens being immigrants from other countries. That way Sirius didn't know what they were arguing about and they could use their country names. Arthur face palmed and went to break it up before it got violent.

Italy rambled to Canada and Sirius about pasta, Japan, Germany, and his brother. Usual Italy talk. And Germany was wrestling Russia's pipe out of his hand before he could swing it at the American.

"Does this happen often?" Sirius asked Canada.

"Oui. It's worse when Papa's around. Then he and Arthur are choking each other. And usually Elizabeta ends up hitting Papa or Gilbert or somebody with her frying pan." Canada replied. "We have violent friends and family, eh."

"Ve~ don't forget Fratello calling somebody a bastardo. It's usually big brother Antonio or Doitsu he calls that." Feli added. "No meeting's complete until Fratello calls somebody a something bastardo."

"Oui." Canada agreed. "Lovino needs to invest in a swear jar. Unfortuantely, he claims the world is full of bastards and makes it his personal mission to inform them that they are."

"Sounds like you have interesting friends." Sirius noted.

"Ve~ you haven't met Alfred's relatives. According to Giappone, they are very interesting." Italy said.

"'Interesting' is putting it lightly, eh. They're completely chaotic. I fear the day more of them show up at Hogwarts." Matthew told them. "They'll put Umbridge in her place, but not in a good way."

Christmas day finally came. The Wesleys, Sirius, Harry, Hermione, and the nations sat around the table and opened presents. Matthew opened an envelope from Gilbert only to go red in the face and drop it. Alfred picked it up.

"'Birdie, the awesome me owes you a bottle of maple syrup. Ich liebe dich. Your awesome boyfriend, The awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt. P.S. Before you ask, ja I did break into your house. But you make the awesomest syrup and pancakes. You're cute when you're mad, but don't come after me with your hockey stick.'" America read aloud before burst out laughing along with everyone else. "He broke into your house for maple syrup. At least Henry wasn't there or he'd try to convince my future brother-in-law that Vermont maple syrup is the best in the world, which by the way, I can't take sides in that fight. But then you'd be extra pissed, Mattie."

Matthew turned an even deeper shade of red and buried his face in Kumajirou's fur. Italy opened a package from France. His face lit up with glee. Mrs. Wesley looked shocked that anybody would send a child what the Italian was holding.

"Ve~ Big brother France-is sent me wine! Of course it's not Italian but it'll do." Feli cheered.

He opened it and started drinking it before Molly Wesley could snatch it from him. America grabbed a package from Russia, which smelled funny. He opened it cautiously, because for all he knew, it was a bomb. A look of disgust appeared on his face. Inside was a half rotted rabbit.

"Oh you shouldn't have, Commie." America said with revolt.

"Leetle Amerika likes his present, da?" Russia asked.

"Yes because everyone wants a rotting animal corpse." Alfred replied sarcastically before leaving to get rid of the dead rabbit.

Arthur's present from every nation in the world was a "Cooking for Dummies" book. He took great offense at that and started saying how they had no tastebuds. Ivan opened his present from America, which was a bomb. Needless to say, the Russian's aura caused it to diffuse. And Germany first opened a present from his brother, which was beer. Like Italy, he started drinking it before it could be confiscated.

America received a couple of ties from the states, bullets from Mexico, a couple of baseballs from Canada, a scary movie from Japan that he'd watch next time the Asian nation was over, Tabassco sauce from the southwestern states, a world map from England, a painting of New York from Italy, an inappropriate book from France, and a strategy book from Germany.

Canada also received some ties from the states, a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from Vermont, some hockey pucks from America, a painting of Vancouver from Italy, a book about healthy relationships from France, bullets from Mexico, ice cream from Cuba, a book about how to stand out more from England, some skate guards from Russia, and a maple leaf pin from Germany.

Italy received tomatoes from Spain, pastels from England, a Japanese painting from Japan, a new tie from Austria, the Iliad and the Odyssey from Canada, paintbrushes from Hungary, some blank notebooks from America, some Italian sweets from Romano, a joke book from Slovenia, white cloth and a note asking to become one from Russia, and an I.O.U. one pasta lunch at the next world meeting from Germany.

Russia received a marriage proposal from Belarus, sunflowers from the Baltics, a painting of Moscow from Italy, vodka from England, a hockey stick from Canada, an I.O.U. lunch at the next world meeting from Ukraine, posioned vodka from Poland (which had no effect), a curse from Japan (which backfired), a stuffed panda from China, and a Grimm's fairy tail book from Germany.

Germany received a sewing kit from Austria, an ugly mustache from Romano, a painting of Berlin from Italy, a whistle from America, an air horn from Canada, a book on romantic relationships with hints about a certain Italian from France, an offer to take control of the next world meeting from Russia, and more beer from England.

And England received a spell on how to properly summon the devil from Massachusetts, some chai tea from India, an inappropriate and suggestive book from France, a Japanese cookbook from Japan, chalk from Norway, rum from his brothers, a teapot from America and Canada, another cookbook from Australia and New Zealand, a painting of London from Italy, more rum from Russia, a spell book from Romania, yet another cookbook from the rest of his former colonies (I think they're trying to send a message here), and tea from Germany.

The nation's enjoyed Christmas with the Order. Molly Wesley made dinner. The younger nations chatted with Harry, Hermione, and the Wesley children about their countries. And they all went to bed happy and excited.

Happy New Year. Hard to believe my last update was last year. I was originally going to have the nations spend Christmas at Hogwarts but then I changed my mind. I hope I gave them presents that fit the giver. For the states, I just thought what do dads and uncles stereotypically recieve? Anyway, I hope you have a safe 2015. Thank you to my reviewers and followers. If you see a mistake, please tell me. I don't own Harry Potter or Hetalia.
