Chapter 28: Complete and Utter Chaos That Was Not Started By the Nations
The news that Dumbledore was gone spread like wildfire. Umbridge was declared "headmistress" by Fudge, which caused England to write a ranting letter to Wales about the Ministry and how he couldn't believe one of their bosses was technically that idiot (said idiot was also unaware of that fact.) For once, Wales agreed. That caused America to declare it was the end of the world because one of England's brothers agreed with him. Since she was declared headmistress, all Hell broke loose at Hogwarts. It was as if Dumbledore was the only thing keeping things under control. Of course chaos was the nations' natural element.
The surprise Texas, Vermont, and Louisiana left was maple syrup that couldn't be cleaned up and was made worse whenever anyone tried to get it out all over her office, courtesy of the fourteenth state. Louisiana also cursed random objects that would cause random effects when she picked them up and Texas used Sharpie to draw obscene pictures all over her clothing then had his sister curse it so it would appear over any new clothes she bought.
The chaos completely exploded though when Fred and George Wesley made their big escape from Hogwarts by setting off magical firework and putting a literal swamp in one of the corridors. As the flew off they order Peeves to give her Hell, an order which he gladly followed for the first time ever.
Soon students were going to Umbridge puking their guts out, fainting, covered in boils, running fevers, or with blood gushing from their noses, courtesy of Wesley Wizard's Wheezes. The teachers would call Umbridge to take care of stray fireworks, even though they were perfectly capable of taking care of those themselves. Peeves would taunt Umbridge mercilessly. Even the nations joined in on the chaos.
England allowed Russia to carry his pick axe around, provided he didn't use it on any children or staff, save Umbridge. That included America. Though after meeting a handful of his states and hearing stories, he wasn't sure he wanted to do that anymore. Maybe with his pipe, but not the pick axe.
Italy was mass producing white flags and America would write cuss words in as many languages as possible and would draw seems of Umbridge dying painfully on them. He even would talk to their insane counterparts to get ideas. Then they would leave them all over the school. Arthur and Ludwig didn't even say anything. They pretended not to notice.
Canada started carrying his hockey stick everywhere. Nobody dared to forget him out of fear he would do worse to them than what he did to his brother while playing hockey. Arthur just warned him not to hit any innocent bystanders with it. He really didn't want to fill out the paperwork if the Canadian killed someone. Well, maybe he'd make an exception with Umbridge and Fudge. If it didn't kill them, maybe it would knock some sense into them.
Germany stopped trying to keep America from back talking Umbridge whenever she was near. Instead, he encouraged it and sometimes joined in using German. Then America would realize what he was doing and slip into one of the many languages he knew.
And though England couldn't do much, he encouraged his charges' disrespectful behavior. He would accidentally slip them something dangerous and casually tell them what would happen if they slipped it into her tea. Luckily, Canada, America, and Germany were good at spying and being quiet when they had to, especially Matthew.
No matter what Filch and Umbridge did, more and more chaos seemed to pop up. She couldn't prove half of what was going on and she also couldn't punish the nations without risking half the world's wrath (though she didn't know that.) In fact, many nations had heard of her (world meetings, gossip spreads like wildfire) and they were getting in contact with their ministries and putting her on the ban list, much to her confusion. She's recieve a new letter everyday telling her the list of countries she was forbidden to visit.
So far she was banned from Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Belarus, Ukranie, Russia, China, Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ireland, Norway, Australia, Egypt, Argentina, all 50 states plus Washington D.C. and all US territories, Canada, and pretty much the rest of Europe, Asia, Oceania, North and South America, and Africa. The only place she wasn't banned from was the UK, but if Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England had their way, she would be. But Sealand did ban her, not that it matters because she had no idea what that was and England wouldn't let her near him anyway. For all the rest of the world cared, she could be put on a raft in the middle of the Atlantic.
The students found it hilarious how she would get letters in the middle of the day from random countries' magical governments telling her she was on a lifetime ban. They joked that of she had any dreams of traveling, those were ruined. America laughed about how Argentina was on that list considering he took in everybody. Argentina took in European Jews before and during World War II and Nazis after it. So that surprised him and Canada both. Then again, peer pressure. They figured Brazil or Mexico probably forced him to.
Unfortuantely, nothing that was done seemed to work. They just couldn't drive her out of Hogwarts, no matter what the students seemed to do. In fact, it made her angrier and more determined to rule Hogwarts with an iron fist. She prepared to banish a couple of teachers from the school. Which might've made her paritially responsible for what happened during the fifth years' OWLs.
Cliffhanger! I didn't feel like writing dialoue for a filler chapter. The next couple chapters will probably be what happens at the Ministry and then it'll pretty much be done. Thank you to all my reviewers and followers. I don't own Hetalia or Harry Potter.
