Sorry for the long wait. I got really busy then I was having writers block. Hope you enjoy
Ron's POV
The rest of class went well. Nothing else exciting happened. As soon as the bell rang, we headed to our next class herbology. Neville was really excited "I have always loved plants so this class should be fun" he told me. He is bouncing on his feet. I looked around and saw that Alfred was nowhere to be found. Harry saw me looking around so he asked "What are you looking for?" I responded with "Not what, who. Alfred. I can't find him." Harry started to look around as well and he couldn't find him. Neville said after looking around for himself "Where did he go?" Both Harry and I shrugged. We will see him in the next class so we can ask him there.
Harry's POV
We finally got to the class. It took some time to find and many went their separate ways. We head in and see Alfred already must have went off to this class and it was quicker. I whispered this to Ron who nodded his head. Alfred didn't see us so Ron shouted "Hey Alfred!" Alfred got started and jumped up. It might be my imagination but his hands looked really red. Like the kind, I sometimes get when I burn myself when cooking. I only saw his hands for a second so it might be nothing. Alfred sat down and said "Hey. Sorry about jumping. I was thinking" Neville looked down before asking "What were you thinking about?" Alfred looked down. After some time, he cleared his throat "You know about this class and um how great it is" he finally said. Ron looked at Alfred "Come on. You can tell us" he sat down and told Alfred. Alfred sighed "I miss home plus talking about my mom earlier" I stopped him "It is okay. We understand" I started as Ron and Neville nod "It is hard. At least you remember, your parents. I wish I had some memories of them. " I finished. "Sorry Harry. I didn't realize that. " Alfred said sadly. "I don't mind. I was just trying to cheer you up." I examined quickly. I didn't want Alfred to be sad.
America's POV
"Didn't your parents go to this school? I'm sure that some of the teachers have some stories about that. I don't know how many stories you know about them." I commented. Harry's face light up "You are right. I will ask Professor Mcgonagall tonight. " he decided. I was happy that I helped. "So Alfred, are you excited for Herbology?" Neville asked. He looked very excited. Honestly, this class doesn't bother me so much since it deals with plants. I do not need any magic for this class. Plus, nations are very good with nature. Even if they aren't from our land, we are still good with them. I know Artie and Francis will like this class. Artie has his own garden and Francis is very good with plant magic. I remember back when Mattie and I were colonies, Francis was able to control all plants. That is how he gets all his roses. "I think I will like this class. I have to see how it goes." I choose to say. Neville nodded. The teacher, who introduced herself as Pomona Sprout, came in and told us to open our books to page 10. As I reached for my book, I saw my hands. I hope that my burns will heal soon. I do not want anyone to know. Lucky they are not bad. My hands are just red but they hurt so much. I need to be careful or else I will seal my magic again. That will help no one.
Draco's POV
Time for charms. Once I get in, I see Arthur already there like in the last class. Oh well that doesn't mean anything. He is just lucky. I am alone since dealing with those two idiots is exhausting. I need to keep an image up so I have to deal with them. I go over sit next to Arthur in the back of the classroom. He looks at me "Hi Arthur" I try to make a conversion. "Hi Draco. I told Alfred that you are sorry. He wants to hear it from your mouth." He tells me and I nod. He continues "When the bell rings ditch the two goons and follow me. I will hide you until I see Alfred" I am grateful for that. Reputation means a lot to purebloods and the Malfoys are too influential and powerful. It is easy to fall in status than rise up. "Thank you" I muttered as I see more Slytherins enter. Arthur nods and starts to read a book he had out. Soon the teacher soon started class. After name call he told us to practice controlling magic. I did what he said and created a ball of magic. It is bigger than normal. I look over and see Arthur focusing on his magic.
England's POV
This will be hard. When I first learned magic I didn't use a wand. I used one in later years but only when I was around wizards. The last time I used one was in the last magic war. During those times while it was hard, I was free to be as strong as I can. Here I can't stand out so I need to make my magic small. Okay focus and breathe. Soon I see a ball of magic come out of my wand. I do a quick look around the room to see what the average size was and made the ball about the same size as those. I had a firm grip on my magic. I unfortunately didn't hear the teacher say stop the first couple times "Mr. Kirkland Stop!" he exclaimed which I heard. The problems was I lost my grip on my magic so ,before I could make the ball disappear, it grew until it was slightly bigger than Draco's. After the ball was gone, I did another look around the room. It looks like the others didn't notice since they were all looking at the teacher. Professor Flitwick doesn't seem to be the type to yell plus most people hear are purebloods with parents that went here. So they must know somethings about him. "Thank you Mr. Kirkland. Sorry for yelling but you didn't stop when I said to." Flitwick told me. I knew I looked embarrassed since "It happens sometimes, nothing to be embarrassed about. Some people get so lost in there magic that is the only thing they can focus on especially for people just starting out" He reassured me. The rest of class went well. Soon the bell rang and like I told him, Draco ditched the two idiots. He came up to me and followed.
Canada's POV
Time for lunch. I wonder what we will have. Francis gave the elves a cookbook so hopefully they make something from there. I see Arthur and Draco so I went up to them. "Going to say sorry to my brother?" I questioned Draco. He nodded. Good, now we just have to wait for my brother. Soon Francis comes down "Bonjour à tous. Comment était-cours?" he spoke in french. "Bien. Le tiens?" I responded. "English you frog" Arthur grumbled. Francis laughed "I taught you French so you knew what I said." he said. Arthur was muttering something under his breathe. Draco looked up "Ce fut une longue matinée. Je ne suis pas encore habitué mais je serai. Les classes étaient bonnes. Je suis impatient de potions." he responded to Francis's question. We looked at him "My mother loved France and when she married my dad, she got him in love with France. I have been there at least once per year." He answered to our unasked questioned. Francis looked at him "You are good." Francis admitted. Before anyone can say anything else "Hey guys. Hope you weren't waiting for long." we heard Alfred yell. He ran up to us with a smile on his face. That smile fell once he saw Draco. Draco soon looked uncomfortable "Listen about what I said. I am sorry about that. Malfoys have a reputation to uphold. I won't use that word but depending on who is around I will have to act mean. " he got out slowly. Alfred looked straight into Draco's eyes trying to see if he was telling the truth. Alfred held his arm out "Apology accepted." he stated. Draco shook Alfred hand "Thank you" relief in Draco's voice as he said that. "So some Slytherins would not mind you being kind?" I had to know. Draco looked around "Trust me when I say this. Some Slytherins would love to be more open but that is not how things go. We have to be careful or else our family pays." he stated quietly. "I got to go. See you guys later" Draco heads inside after that. Arthur has a thinking look on his face "I think I know what to do to help the houses get along. It will take awhile to find the space and get the things needed but it will work. I will tell you guys more later" I hope Arthur's idea works. I wonder what it is?
Tell me what you think. Again sorry for the wait.
