A Magical Mistake!

It was a cold, November morning at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Axis took their chance to take some time off from all their hard work and were walking around the courtyard. A plentiful amount of colorful leaves were scattered across the ground, which Gilbert and Rosaria were playing with. After two weeks, the Axis was finally complete, with Lovino finally have his burns fully healed and him out of the hospital wing.

Feliciano took in a breath of the freash autumn air before he fell backwards into the pile of leaves Rosaria and Gilbert had collected. The flora was sent up into the air and over everyone.

"Feliciano!" Ludwig yelled angrily.

"What?" Feliciano said slightly confused as he sat up. Kiku pulled a stray leaf from his hair and dropped it to the ground. Out of nowhere, Gilbert came up from behind him and covered the boy in dry leaves. Kiku stood there, stunned by the sudden action as the Prussian and Sicilian worked on fixing their leaf pile. The two began whispering to each other before the pair let out a sly laugh. Gilbert sent a large wave of leaves towards the other four and it successfully hit them.

"What the hell did you do to twist my sister around?!" Lovino shouted angrily as he brushed the fall leaves off of him.

"I did nozhing!" Gilbert exclaimed innocently. The Prussian wrapped his pale hands around Feliciano's waist, pulled him out of the the leaves and towards him. Feliciano struggled to get out of his grasp, but failed. Gilbert then reached over and grabbed his so-called partner-in-crime the same way too and pulled her towards him.

"Gilbert! Let me go!" The fourth year girl begged. The slivery haired boy shook his head.

"Now I have my prisoners!" Gilbert laughed. "You vant zhem? COME UND GET ZHEM!" He ducked behind the leaves, pulling the two Italians down with him. Lovino tackled the older student and both of them were sent rolling across the ground. Luckily, Feliciano and Rosaria had been released by the Slytherin seconds earlier. Kiku and Ludwig rushed over to the fighting pair and pulled them apart. In a rush of adrenaline, Lovino threw a handful of leaves at the closest person; which had been Ludwig.

"Rovino-kun..." Kiku said in a slight panic, trying calm everyone down. Gilbert took his chance to wrap his arms around Kiku and throw him into the leaf pile with a laugh. In the heat of the moment, an entire leaf fight broke out between the Axis.

"Fratello!" Rosaria called out to her brother, "Duck!" Feliciano obeyed her orders and fell to the ground as she sent a wave of orange, red and gold over their heads and towards its unlucky target- Gilbert. It buried him in it entirely.

"Not a bad aim, Rosaria-san," Kiku remarked.

"I try." Gilbert emerged from the pile he was in and shook the leaves from his hair. Grinning like a Cheshire cat, he sent the wave back over to the rest of the Axis. However, it missed them entirely and hit someone else. Everyone stopped.

"GILBERT BEILSCHMIDT!" The target yelled in anger.

"Uh...Gotta go!" Gilbert said as he sprinted away. Elizabeta went after him, a skillet in her hands. There was a moment of silence before Lovino kicked some of the leaves toward Feliciano.

"Now what do we do?" He asked. Before anyone could answer, a familiar, and quite obnoxious laugh rang out through the air. Some random person jumped on top of the Axis memeber they were closest to, which happened to be Rosaria, into one of the many leaf piles created from the fight. Leaves flew in the air.

"Alfred F. Jones, get off of me!" The Hufflepuff said furiously. The American stood up but didn't let Rosaria stand and instead threw her onto his shoulder. "This is nearly the exact opposite of what I asked!" Arthur then jogged up, nearly out of breath.

"Alfred..." the Brit said, "Put her down."

"No," answered Alfred, "She can't hit me this way."

"Prease put her down, Arfred-kun," Kiku asked politely. Alfred shook his head.

"Put her down," Ludwig ordered. Alfred did no such thing. Instead, it was his captive that did something.

"Ow!" Alfred exclaimed as he dropped Rosaria back into the leaves, "She bit me!" Feliciano pulled his sister to her feet and brought her closer to the Axis.

"What the hell do you want?" Lovino asked rudely.

"Ask him," Arthur said as he pushed Alfred forward slightly.

"We-" Arthur cleared his throat- "I mean I want to duel with you."

"Given recent events, wourd a duel be a good idea?" asked Kiku. Alfred paused in his speaking.

"...Yes. Yes it would."

"Idiot," Arthur muttered loud enough for everyone to hear.

"No," answered Ludwig. "One of us might already be in trouble, zhe rest of us don't need it. Especially Lovino und I." Lovino gave the German a look.

"Why us?" He asked.

"In case you have forgotten, ve represent our school in zhe Tournament."

"Yeah...I've been trying to forget about the Tournament. If you didn't notice, I WAS BURNED BY A DRAGON!"

"Aw.. " Alfred moaned. "But I got this new spell I wanna try out!"

"Ve~?" Feliciano sighed curiously, "A new spell?" Alfred grinned and nodded.

"Yup!" He pulled out his wand and began twirling it in his fingers. "Found it some old spellbook and I wanna try it out!" Arthur reached over and siezed Alfred's ear. He gave it a sharp pull, to which Alfred gave a pained look and stopped twirling his wand.

"No, Alfred." The Brit ordered.

"Please?!"

"For once, I agree with Arthur," Rosaria added.

"Come on!"

"Vith vhat you did to Kiku?" Ludwig stated, "Zhe answer is still no."

"I'm fine, Rudwig-san." Kiku cut in, "It was the smoke that caused me to-" Feliciano wrapped a hand around Kiku's mouth.

"Shh..." He muttered, "Big people are talking." Kiku removed Feliciano's hand.

"I am order than you, Fericiano-kun." This was true. While Feliciano had been born on March 17th, Kiku's birth fell on February 11th, making him older by about a month.

"Let me cast it!" Alfred begged to Arthur.

"I said no, Alfred," the Slytherin stated, "Now hand over your wand. I don't want you causing trouble." Alfred took a step back.

"No."

It was as if everything slowed down. Arthur made a grab for Alfred's wand. As he did so, a shower of pink sparks sparked off of the tip and showered the ground, landing with a sharp crack. Everyone's-Ally or Axis- eyes began to slowly close as they fell to the ground, one by one. A bright, pale pink light surrounded six out of the seven bodies on the ground.

Feliciano was the first to wake up. His hands immediately flew to his head as his honey brown eyes opened. Pain pulsated in his brain. Feliciano shook it away successfully but found something curious. His reddish auburn hair had grown significantly longer. He looked down at his body to check for any injuries. Feliciano screamed, but immediately covered his mouth. This, however, did not stop the sound from waking everyone else up. Ludwig sat up first.

"Feliciano, vhy zhe hell are you...?" Ludwig's eyes met with the answer.

"Holy shit," Alfred said in shock. "I did not know that was gonna happen."

"YOU DIDN'T KNOW?!" An angry Arthur yelled, "ALFRED F. JONES, IF WE WERENT RELATED, I WOULD BLOODY MURDER YOU!"

Admist all the shock and disarray, someone was laughing. That someone had not been affected by the spell and found the situation quite funny.

"Oh my Gosh!" Rosaria exclaimed in laughter, "That idiota turned you all onto girls!" Kiku, who had finally snapped out of his daze, examined his new state and began blushing heavily. Arthur, meanwhile, grabbed Alfred by her collar and pulled the new girl to her feet.

"Where. Did you. Find. That spell?" She said through clenched teeth.

"Some old book in the library's Restricted Section!" Alfred said quickly. Arthur dropped Alfred onto the ground.

"You are a bloody git, you know that? IT WAS RESTRICTED FOR A REASON!" Lovino sighed and stood, observing the others. His gaze fell upon one person.

"Sorella," She asked the younger, "Why the hell didn't you change?" Rosaria looked down at herself and pulled a leaf out of her messy hair.

"Leaf protection?" She said before flicking the leaf back into the pile.

"Maybe the spell just changes you into a female?" A slightly calmer Arthur suggested.

"I am female."

"You know what I meant! Also, by the way you acted when I first met you, I thought you were a boy!" Rosaria frowned at her. Feliciano, by now, was no longer in shock about the current state and bounced over to her elder.

"Hey, Lovino!" She said happily, "Now I really am a girl!" Lovino sighed and facepalmed herself.

"You better fix this, American bastard!" Lovino said angrily.

"Sh-She can't," stuttered Kiku, obviously still embarrassed.

"What are you talking about?" Arthur asked.

"Th-The cure is found in a specific potion, Arthur-san." Arthur's eyes grew dark.

"Alfred, you bloody wanker." Arthur went after Alfred again until Ludwig stopped them.

"I personally think we should hide," said Lovino. "I don't want anyone seeing me like this."

"We could say we're family visiting!" Feliciano suggested. If this was an anime, which it kind of is, everyone would've sweatdropped.

"Firstly, we have no aunts or uncles," Rosaria reminded her new sister.

"Alfred and I have no other cousins other than my brothers!" Arthur added, "And God knows when they'll show up here again."

"Gilbert und I have no ozher living relatives zhat I know of," Ludwig pointed out. Lovino looked around the courtyard.

"Where did your bastard of a brother run off to anyways?" She asked.

"I'm over here," a new voice cut in. The group turned and saw Gilbert, with a small cut on his forehead, walking towards them.

"Gilbert," Ludwig said as sternly as she could, "How long have you been standing zhere?"

"About two seconds. And must I say: 1. How do you know my name? 2. You all are very hot." Rosaria choked back a laugh.

"You do realize that you're flirting with your brother, right?" She said with a laugh.

"Vhat?"

"This wanker turned us into girls!" Arthur yelled as she gestured towards Alfred.

"Excuse me vhile I go und vomit." He walked off for a brief moment, and the sickening sound of him releasing his lunch on a nearby bush was heard before he walked back.

"Let's never speak of zhat again," said Gilbert, slightly disturbed as he wiped his mouth on his sleeve.

"Agreed." Ludwig said, equally disturbed.

"Can we please find somewhere to hide!" exclaimed Arthur, "I don't want anyone, especially a certain someone, to see me like this!"

"But..." Kiku stuttered, "Where wourd we hide?" There was silence as the group thought about it. There was nowhere they could go without being seen. Gilbert snapped his fingers as an idea popped into his head.

"Follow zhe awesome one ladies!" The Prussian said as he turned on his heel and walked off in a random direction.

"Vhy should we follow you?" questioned Ludwig.

"If you vant three entire schools to see you be mien guest!" The German sighed.

"Vhere to?" Gilbert said nothing, but just laughed.

Gilbert led the troupe of genderbents through the castle, stealthily avoiding being sighted. They soon arrived at...a wall.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Lovino exclaimed angrily.

"Shut up und vatch," Gilbert instructed. Nothing happened after a very awkward pause. "Vhy does it do this every time?! SERIOUSLY!" Everyone was starting to believe that the Slytherin was going insane.

"Um...Gilbert?" Feliciano asked, trying to distract the fact that the Prussian might be going insane, "What are you doing?"

"Vhat? Feli, have you ever heard of a room at zhis school zhat vill give you vhat you need?"

"That's just some stupid myth!" Arthur yelled, "And it was destroyed in 1998 anyway."

"It's real! Me, Toni, und Francey-pants hide in here all zhe time."

"It doesn't exist, Gilbert," Ludwig told his older brother.

"It does too! Vatch!" Then, after a few seconds, a door appeared where the wall once was. "You vere saying, Vest? Suck mein awesone five meters!" Gilbert flung the doors open and pushed them all inside. The room was just a regular room that could comfortably fit the group of eight, with gray walls and carpet. There were several chairs scattered across the room and a fireplace was roaring at the far end.

"It's nice in here!" Rosaria said in awe as Gilbert shut the door. Arthur's green eye gaze fell upon the fireplace.

"You said this room gives us whatever we want...right?" The Brit asked the older Slytherin. Gilbert nodded. Arthur leaned over and whispered something in Kiku's ear. Kiku nodded.

"What are you two whispering about?" Alfred asked in curiosity.

"You," Arthur pointed towards her cousin, "Idiot. Shut up."

"This room gives us what we need, correct?" Kiku asked

"Ja, I think I said zhat," answered Gilbert.

"Arthur-san and I are going to brew the potion to give us our...erm...proper bodies."

"It should take us an hour or two to brew it," Arthur explained further, "So make yourselves comfortable. We're going to be here a while."

After a while, Kiku and Arthur were still bent over the fireplace, where a cauldron lied with a bubbling potion. The rest were sitting around in the chairs, not doing much of anything.

"So..." Alfred said while swinging her feet off the chair, "You guys wanna talk about anything?"

"How about how you ruined my day?" Ludwig suggested.

"I said I was sorry at least thirty times!"

"That is not enough, you bastard!" Lovino yelled towards the American, "You took my manly regions!'

"Are we sure you even had them?" The two younger Vargas sisters tried to hold back their laughs, but this failed as Feliciano and Rosaria burst into giggles.

"Shut up!" Lovino yelled, "What is this? Be a bastard to Lovino Day?!" During this, Alfred had walked over to Kiku. She bent over to look at Kiku's face.

"On a scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Yao would be if we kept Kiku like this?" She asked. There was a pause of shock and silence.

"WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?!" Arthur yelled.

"Nani?!" exclaimed Kiku.

"But he's so cute like this!" Alfred pointed out, "Am I right?"

"Vell..." Gilbert said as he walked over and took a look at the Japanese, "Yes." Kiku began to blush heavily and buried her head in the confines of her robe.

"See!"

"No, Alfred," answered Arthur.

"But-"

"I said NO!"

"I agree with Arthur-san..." Kiku muttered.

"Please?!" Alfred begged as she wrapped her arms around Kiku, "You're so cute!"

"Prease stop invading my personar space!" Kiku pushed Alfred off of her and began to blush even more.

"Can you please stop harassing Kiku, now?" Ludwig said sternly to the persistent American.

"I wourd very much appreciate it."

"Fine..." Alfred said in defeat as she walked away from the two working, "But I still think she still looks cute." Kiku blushed even heavier, if that was even possible, as she went back to making the potion. Alfred turned to the German. "And how did I ruin your day?"

"It's none of your business," Ludwig replied defiantly.

"But I thought our day was going just fine!" Feliciano said. They all gave her a strange look, as if she had grown another head. "What?"

"Yeah...until we got turned into girls!" Lovino reminded her twin.

"Kesesese." Gilbert laughed slyly. "He's...She's not talking about zhat."

"Then what is h-she talking about?"

"Nozhing," Ludwig said quickly. Gilbert walked up behind his genderbent brother and began to hum something from a certian 1989 movie. Getting extremely aggravated by her brother, Ludwig reached up, wrapped her hands around Gilbert's sliver and green tie and pulled as hard as she could. Gilbert began gagging.

"I can't breathe..." he struggled to say before Ludwig let him go. Gilbert coughed slightly before returning to his normal composure.

"Ve~ What is he talking about?" Feliciano asked curiously.

"None of your business," said Ludwig harshly.

"Well...I'm intrigued," Arthur said without turning away from her work.

"Even I have to admit to a rittre curiosity," added Kiku. Ludwig shot her a look that clearly read "traitor".

"C'mon Gryffindor and tell us!" Rosaria pleaded.

"Shut up!" The German ordered, "I don't have to tell any of you anyzhing." Gilbert leaned in to his younger.

"Tell zhem little bruder," he whispered into her ear, "Or I vill."

"You vouldn't," the Gryffindor whispered back.

"Kesesese. I might."

"Answer the question dumb ass!" Lovino interuppted.

"Nien," Ludwig said sternly.

"You can tell us anything!" Feliciano reminded her.

"Nein, I can't."

"I'll tell you," Gilbett said with his Cheshire-like grin, "Zhis one vas going to-" Before Gilbert could get another word out, Ludwig wrapped her arms around his waist and threw her brother onto the ground.

"No secrets, Ludwig!" Feliciano said, "Remember?"

"Fine," Ludwig sighed, "I hate you all."

"Just tell us bastardo!" yelled Lovino.

"I vas going to ask a girl to go to zhat stupid ball vith me." Silence fell ovet the room. That wasn't the answer they were expecting.

"What girl would catch your fancy?" Arthur said after a long pause, "I thought you liked Feliciano."

"What?" Lovino said in surprise.

"Tell zhem who it is, bruder," Gilbert pestered as he finally got up off the floor.

"Do you vant me to zhrow you on zhe floor again?!"

"So, who's the girl?" Rosaria asked, "I could vouch for you, Lud."

"N-Nien. I can do it myself." Ludwig's face began to grow slightly redder.

"Lud, you alright?" Here's a little fun fact: Rosaria is often clueless to the obvious.

"Holy shit, Ludwig's embarrassed!" Alfred exclaimed, "That's on for the records!"

"Shut up!" Ludwig said through clenched teeth.

"Mien Gott, Vest!" Gilbert added, "Just man up and-"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Everybody fell silent. The only noise to be heard was Ludwig's heavy breathing, the crackle of the fire and the bubbling of the potion. Ludwig stood up. "I don't have to tell you anyzhing, and I don't care if I look like zhis. I'm leaving." The German left the room, and the sound of the door slamming ricocheted throughout the room. Everyone sat there in a stunned silence. It was only broken when Arthur looked over into the cauldron.

"The potion is ready," she announced.

"But what about-" said Kiku, still staring at the door.

"We can go after her later. Right now we need to reverse this curse." Gilbert produced six glasses from his robes and handed them to Arthur.

"Where did you get those?" Lovino asked suspiciously.

"Someone as awesome as me always has glasses on zhem!" The Prussian said with a laugh. Lovino sighed.

"Whatever. Give me the goddamn potion already. I'm starting feel like my sister."

"Hey!" Rosaria said, offended. Arthur poured the bright blue liquid into the six separate glasses. It steamed as it hit the glass. Alfred took one of the glasses and smelled its contents.

"Ugh," she said in disgust, "It smells like your cooking."

"Just drink it," Arthur said. He was probably offended, but his cooking was disgusting.

"Bottoms up!" Feliciano said cheerily. They all drank the potion, well, all of them except Kiku, (who just drank it,) vigorously. There was a bright flash of blue light and everyone was returned to their male state once it faded.

"Ah my manly regions I missed you so much!" Alfred said happily before Arthur grabbed his collar.

"Alfred," Arthur said through his teeth, "Never. Ever. Cast that spell. Again."

"G-Got it."

"Erm...Hey?" Gilbert said as everyone turned to him. He held up the final glass and waved it a bit "Vhat about Vest?" Before anyone could say anything on the matter, a small Hufflepuff took the glass from the older Slytherin and emptied it into a bottle.

"Don't worry," Rosaria said as she sealed the bottle shut, "I'll handle it."

"Stay away from the bastard, sorella!" Lovino ordered the girl.

"Oh calm down big brother. I feel like it's my fault she ran off in the first place. And besides...I owe him."

"Sorella..." Feliciano said, "I'm confused." Before she could say her answer, Rosaria left without another word.

"What the hell was that...?" said out loud everyone as the thought entered their minds.

Meanwhile, a lone figure was throwing stones across the lake from a top a small, rocky cliff. Because they were so frustrated, the stones didn't skip but just sank to the bottom. That person was Ludwig. She threw another rock across but like the others it failed to skip. She took in a breath before throwing another stone.

"How did I know I'd find you here?" said a familiar voice. Ludwig turned to see the little Italian girl behind her.

"Vhat do you vant?" Ludwig asked, still seething. Rosaria held a bottle with blue liqiud in it out to her.

"Potion's ready," Rosaria replied with a smile. Ludwig turned back to throwing the stones.

"Fine. Leave it zhere und go avay. I vant to be left alone."

"If you want it, you're going to have to come over here." Ludwig stopped.

"No. Bring it here." Rosaria shook her head. "Vhy not?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Vhat?" Rosaria sighed.

"You heard me, Ludwig Beilschmidt," she stated defiantly. "I maybe sorta clueless and naïve most of the time, but I've known you for about four years. I can tell when something is wrong with any one of my friends." Ludwig groaned in defeat. She wouldn't go away.

"Fine. Just give me zhe bottle." Rosaria nodded and tossed the bottle. Ludwig caught it and drank its contents. Like the others, he was englufed in the blue light before he was returned to the proper gender. Rosaria walked towards the cliff.

"Now tell me what's wrong," She asked. Ludwig didn't answer. "It's because we were teasing you, wasn't it? About your mystery girl?" Ludwig clenched his hands unknowingly together before throwing another stone. After a few moments of silence, Rosaria began climbing the cliff were Ludwig was standing. Unfortunately, the rocks were wet from the lake water. Rosaria ended up misplacing one of her steps and slipped against the stones. She gasped and let out a shrill cry as she fell. On hearing this, Ludwig turned on his heel and tried to seize her by the wrist, in hope to pull her out of harm's way, but she slipped through his grasp. Rosaria's hands slid against the rocks as she caught herself lower on the cliff where it was safe enough for her to drop down. Ludwig climbed down from his perch and helped Rosaria down as well.

"You shouldn't have been climbing up zhere in zhe first place," he told her, "You're not strong enough to brace yourself against zhe water." Rosaria, as soon as she hit the solid ground, clenched her hands and pressed them against her chest. "Vhat did you do?"

"Ow..." winced the girl. Ludwig pulled her clenched hands to him, or at least he tried to. Rosaria kept het hands braced against her chest.

"Rosaria," Ludwig said as he pulled on her wrists, "You hurt yourself, didn't you?" Rosaria nodded and finally showed him the palms of her hands. They were scraped, scratched and bleeding. Tears began well up in Rosaria's brown eyes. "Vould you calm down? It's not zhat bad."

"But it hurts..." Rosaria muttered as she blinked out a tear. Ludwig sighed and took her hands, palms facing upwards. To his surprise, Ludwig wasn't blushing like he thought he would.

"Put your hands in zhe water. It'll rinse zhem off and take some of zhe pain avay." Rosaria nodded as Ludwig helped her down towards the water edge. He put her hands into the water. She winced as the lake's water rinsed off the blood that had begun to cover her palms. Once her hands were clean, Ludwig helped her back onto the rocks where he was standing before.

"Grazie," Rosaria said with a smile.

"I'm not done." Ludwig said as he pulled a roll of bandages from his pocket, "I svear, you're so similar to your bruder, it's starting to scare me. You both are alvays getting hurt."

"Well...I guess I was closer to Feli when I was little and we are not always getting hurt." Rosaria laughed a little as Ludwig started to wrap her hands. "So...what is she like? That mystery girl?"

"Was?"

"Well? She must be something, huh? Especially if you stormed out of the room like that."

"I guess she is."

"What is she like then?"

"I've known her for a long time, und zhat entire time...she's alvays found a vay or reason to keep smiling. Even vith vhat has been happening...I'm alvays seeing her smile. She's stronger zhan I zhought. She's also kind, sveet and I've never seen true beauty like hers." Rosaria giggled.

"That's sweet..." You might think Rosaria is being pretty clueless about now, but trust me, she has the gears turning in that naïve little head of hers. She let out another little laugh and smiled mischievously. Ludwig gave her a weird look.

"Zhere, " he said he sealed the bandages on her hands, "I'm done." Rosaria smiled genuinely.

"Grazie, Lud!" She went to snap her fingers but couldn't due to the linen. "I almost forgot!" She pulled a sweet from her pocket and began to unwrap it.

"Vhat are you doing?" Ludwig asked.

"I always eat a sweet when I get hurt." Rosaria answered as she popped it into her mouth, "When I was little, I would get hurt way more often than I do now. Se-I mean...a friend of mine would give me a sweet to make me feel better. After he died I guess...I guess I just kept doing that." Rosaria stared down at the water. There was a long pause between the two.

"I'm sorry about your friend," said the German.

"It's alright..." Rosaria brightened up once more and pulled another sweet from her robes' pocket. "Want one?" She handed it to Ludwig. He hesitated for a moment before finally taking it.

"They're from Honeyduke's," Rosaria explained further, Antonio and Emma get them for me. They're like my older cousins or something. They really are awesome."

"You sound like Gilbert vhen you say zhat." The girl laughed. Silence filled the two once more before Rosaria spoke again.

"I know this may sound strange but...how good a dancer are you?" Upon hearing the word "dancer", Ludwig stopped what he was doing.

"Vhy are you asking that?" Rosaria gave him a look, as if he was supposed to know why...which he was supposed to.

"The champions open the Yule Ball. By dancing."

Ludwig's face fell, and he lain down on the rocks.

"Lud?"

"..."

"I forgot...you can't dance." Ludwig sat up and stared at his younger companion.

"How did you-?" He started to ask before he was cut off.

"Your reaction, duh." Ludwig groaned and returned to his previous position. Rosaria laughed a little. Her laughter was interuppted when a drop of rain fell on her head. The pair look up to the sky as it started raining.

The pair raced back to the castle and the Room of Requirement, but not before they got soaked. Ludwig slammed the door shut as Rosaria waved to the drier group. Feliciano was the only one to notice the additional feature on his sister's hands. He ran up to her and took a look.

"Are you alright, sorella?!" He said with worry. "Your hands are all bandaged!" This caused the rest or the group to come and see what Feliciano was talking about. Rosaria showed them all her injury.

"I fell, fratello," Rosaria clarified. "But, Ludwig patched me up though!"

"That bastard touched you?" Lovino asked while shooting a glare at Ludwig.

"To help me, yes."

Lovino muttered something unintelligible as Arthur took a look at her hands.

"What did you do to yourself?" He asked the fourteen year old.

"She fell on zhose rocks by zhe lake," said Ludwig as he pushed any wet strands of his blonde hair back into place.

"I'm fine. Really," Rosaria said as she removed her hands away from Arthur's.

"Hey, Vest!" Gilbert said trying to get his younger brother's attention. Ludwig ignored him. "Vest. Vest. Vest. Vest. Bruder. Bruder. Bruder. Bruder. Ludvig. Ludvig. Ludvig. Ludvig."

"Vhat do you possibly vant?" Ludwig said, obviously annoyed.

"Sorry about vhat happened," Gilbert said. Ludwig really didn't believe this at first, but after hearing the honesty in his brother's voice, did he really have a choice not to? "I understand you'll ask zhe girl vhen your ready, but you really need to man up. You're a Gryffindor for crying out loud! Aren't you supposed to be brave?"

"I vill if you get zhe chance to ask you-know-who," Ludwig said, pushing Gilbert away. The Prussian turned pale...well paler.

"He's dead, bro," Alfred pointed out.

"Zhat's not vhat I'm talking about!"

"Ve~ Does Gilbert like a ragazza too?" Feliciano asked with certain curiosity.

"N-Nien!" stuttered Gilbert as his face turned as red as his eyes. "Und shut up! Trying to get to her vould be like...like...trying to ask Rosaria out! Lovino vould kill zhe person who vould do so!"

"It's true," Lovino added, placing an arm protectively around the girl. "I would."

"Alright, so you're going to let your sister be 'forever alone', as they say in America," said Arthur. Lovino nodded.

"Si." Rosaria looked at her big brother with her light orbs.

"I thought we talked about this!" She exclaimed, "Big brother!"

"Still part of my brotherly duties, sorella." Lovino bent down and lovingly pecked his sister in the forehead. Rosaria slid out of his grip as Kiku sighed.

"Are you speaking about Rudwig-san's and Girbert-kun's feerings for-" he began to say before the Germans' covered his mouth.

"How?" They asked in unison.

"I am very perceptive." While all of this was going on, Alfred had turned to Feliciano.

"So...catch me up on this, cause I wasn't paying attention," the American asked the Italian, "Ludwig likes a girl but he's too nervous to ask her to that dance thingy that's coming up and will only do so if Gilbert asks the chick he likes and Kiku already knows who both of them are because he notices things easily."

"Pretty much!" Feliciano said with a nod. Alfred sighed with a hint of frustration.

"Dudes, just go up and ask her! That's what I did...and sorta Kiku too, but I forced him into doing that."

"Who on this bloody earth that isn't out of their right mind would go out with you?!" Arthur asked. Even he hadn't gotten a date yet! Of course...it was still November, and the only person who was asking him at all was Francis. which to him was an obvious "no".

"I asked my former tutor," replied Alfred, "You know, that Ravenclaw chick who's with Kiku on the prefect side. Her name's Lien."

"And she said yes?"

"Erm...yeah."

"What about Kiku?" Rosaria asked, "You said he had a date as well."

"I did."

"No," Kiku responded quickly, causing all attention to fall on him.

"No what?" asked Feliciano.

"I refuse to speak of the matter further."

"Tell them Kiku..." Alfred said as he nudged Kiku on the shoulder. "It's not bad."

"No. I refuse."

"Please Kiku!" Both Feliciano and Rosaria begged.

"No!" Alfred snuck up behind his friend and covered his mouth. Kiku tried to pull away, but Alfred 's hold was too strong. Seriously though, the guy's strength is like that of Superman or something.

"Mei Xiao," Alfred finally answered for everyone, "He asked that Gryffindor in her year," He looked over at Rosaria as he said this, "Mei. Xiao." Alfred let go of Kiku, who began turning red.

"Awwwww!" Feliciano cooed "You two would look adorable together!" Kiku blushed harder and leaned against on of the walls. Gilbert turned back to his younger.

"So, little bruder?" He said, "If I can ask her out, you have to ask out your chick."

"As long as you don't refer to her as such, ja," responded Ludwig. The two shook hands, sealing their deal.

"But doesn't Luddy need a date?" said Feliciano, "Oh! And fratello needs one too!" Everyone gazed at him for the second time today.

"What?" Lovino said, obviously confused. "Speak clearly."

"The champions start off the ball by dancing with their ragazze!" His brother explained, "Or boys if their into that." Lovino threw back his head and ran his fingers through his hair- careful to avoid his curl- in utter frustration.

"Cazzo!"

"Fratello!" Rosaroa exclaimed, "Watch your mouth! And you know I could always could set you up with one of my friends."

"I can do it myself. I am perfectly capable of getting a date. I mean seriously, who wouldn't go with a champion?"

"I could name a few..." Alfred muttered.

"You're going to panic last minute, aren't you?" asked Arthur.

"...No..." Lovino rolled his hazel eyes while from behind him Feliciano nodded.

"I don't know who I'm going with," Feliciano said as he walked up so he was side-by-side with Lovino, "Everyone here is so nice!" Just then, Alfred coughed something that strangely sounded a lot like "Ludwig".

"What?" Both Ludwig and Feliciano asked at once.

"Oh come on, everyone's talking about it!" Alfred said. "It's just a matter of time before you two get together!"

"Ve~ What's-a he talking-a about?" Feliciano asked.

"Ignore him, fratello," Rosaria sighed, "I think he's a rare species of male called an idiot." Alfred gave a very fake gasp as he walked over to Rosaria and bent down to look her in the eye.

"Did little Rosaria Vargas just make an insult?" He asked.

"Indirectly, I believe I just did."

"Does that mean I'm a rare species too?" Feliciano asked as he thought about it.

"Yes," Lovino replied sarcastically, "It's called a pasta loving, lazy, weak, Italian."

"But fratello, isn't that what you are?"

"Shut up."

"And there's the brotherly love!" Alfred said with a laugh.

"Get out," Ludwig commanded. Alfred shook his head.

"No!" Arthur took the matter into his own hands as he grabbed Alfred by the collar of his shirt and dragged him out before leaving himself.

"No! Not USUK!" Alfred said as he struggled against Arthur.

"Srop saying that or people will think it's true," said Arthur before the door slammed shut. There was silence among the Axis.

"Should we tell him that Francis is nearby?" asked Rosaria. She and Ludwig had seen him very close by on their way up to the room. Ludwig shook his head.

"He'll figure it out himself..." he answered. A not-so-manly shriek was heard by the remaining six.

"What was that?" asked Feliciano.

"That would be Arthur losing all dignity he just got back."

ANGEL! FINALLY I FINISHED IT!

After a month you're finally finished?

Yeah...I kinda lost the entire chapter whilst I was cleaning out old things from my computer. But after a month, I finished it!

Cool. I couldn't help but notice that we mentioned the Yule Ball several times and I wanna know. What pairings are we using?

I'll tell you about the pairings behind the scenes. I'm just glad we're seeing more of the other characters. I like writing about all the Hetalia people.

True. I love writing America and Canada. And I can't wait to write the Yule Ball! Christmas in all it's glory!

Yup! Yule Ball's coming up and it's all about who's going with who! And it's about Romano panicking at the last moment!

Hehe...Romano's gonna pull a Harry.

Yes...The Bad Touch Trio will be in the next chapter!

Woo! BAD TOUCH TRIO BITCHES!

Next Time on Hogwarts from Around the World!

Operation: Ask Her Out!

We'll see you then!
