The two woke up the second the clock hit midnight and crept out of, grabbing their bags.
They didn't remember bringing them back from the cafeteria, but decided they either forgot, or a teacher brought it.
They hobbled into the Gryffindor common room and were met with a sight they weren't expecting to see.
"I'll tell Percy and he's a prefect!"
"Rats" Alfred squeaked turning running back up the steps.
"Did you hear that" asked Ron worriedly.
"Yeah let's go see" Harry replied running up the steps.
Quickly Alfred opened up a closet door and shoved Mathew and he inside then slammed it louder than he intended.
"I think they closed themselves in the closet."
"Alfred what are we going to do" Mathew snapped.
Then America remembered the little miracles on their fingers.
"The rings!" he whisper-yelled back.
He grabbed Mathews hand so that the rings were touching, and suddenly it looked as if they were seeing through blue tinted glass.
The two huddled in the corner as they heard footsteps approaching the door.
Suddenly the door was swung open, and standing in it was a smug looking Hermione who thought she might have finally caught the twins doing something she could use to get information.
Her smile dropped when she looked inside and only empty hanging space.
"They're not in here" she shouted back to the other two boys.
"Who?" Ron asked.
"You know who."
"Oh, that who."
America was about to ask who is 'who' but Mathew put his hand over his mouth and sent him a glare that clearly said 'one word and there will be a new stain on my hockey stick'.
So the U.S.A stayed quiet and waited till they heard the squeak of sneakers fade away before standing up.
The two disconnected their hands and felt a little dizzy.
"That was weird" stated Alfred while adjusting the straps of his backpack.
"Yes, quite eh"
And with that the quietly crept out of the dorm and down the hall to a room right next to the sSytherin entrance.
"Leave it to England to put his secret transformation room right next to the nosiest people in school" America muttered.
Canada nodded agreeing and led him to the front of the door.
"You have the password."
From the front pocket of his jacket, America pulled out his IPhone and scrolled through his texts.
"Here it is" he said thinking aloud. "No!" he yelled way louder than necessary."I am not saying that!"
"Okay then I'll say it" Mathew offered "what is it?"
"Its voice activated so I have to be the one to do it, but I'm not saying that. Especially since he set it so I have to say it a certain way".
Mathew took Alfred's phone and read it then burst out laughing.
"It's not funny!" America whined.
Seeing how loud he was Canada lowered his roar to a giggle.
"Sorry Ame', just swallow your pride and say it"
Alfred huffed and turned to the door.
Putting on his best impression of his colony voice he said "Enwand is the best big bwuber ever, and his scone awe delwiociuse".
Mathew now having to stop himself from passing out from oxygen loss from laughing so much, stumbled into the now open door while holding his stomached.
It was especially funny because America had said those exact words when he was a colony.
He had a bit of a big brother complex back then.
Yeah, he grew out of that…
Then America sulked in and locked the door behind him, then walked over to a chair and hid his face in his hands.
"My entire pride has just been obliterated".
Draco
Draco had followed them since the minute they stepped out of the Gryffindor common room.
He had to cancel his 'appointment' with Potter, but the twins now took precedence over anything trio related.
Draco had most of their conversation recorded on the recorders he sewed onto their backpacks during lunch and he also took notes in a little gold notebook of anything he deemed worthy blackmail material.
He will however, be making seven copies of the whole password fiasco to watch over and over.
That was pure comedy gold hearing the tough New Yorker/ Surfer/ Cowboy/ Who knows what else, talk in a baby voice of equal caliber to the rug rats.
It was Priceless.
When they went inside the room the recorders signal would no longer work through the wall, so he went with the old fashion way and pressed a cup against the door.
"What do you mean you don't have it!" screamed Mathew.
"I mean it's not here" replied Alfred defensively.
"How could you lose it? Now what are we going to do!"
"Hey it's not my fault"
"How is this not your fault?"
"I swear I put it in there"
Draco smiled, swishing around the glowing blue liquid in his pocket.
"Well what are we going to do now, were screwed, absolutely positively screwed, oh sweet maple what are we going to do now."
"Relax Canada, we'll be fine. I'll just send Iggy a letter and he'll send us more."
"Yeah" Mathew replied annoyed, "it takes three weeks to make, what are we going to do till then?"
"Can' we'll be fine, three weeks is not going to kill us"
"Do you not see what's happening already?" He yelled.
"I almost hit the banner today! If England finds out we missed a turn he will murder you"
"Wait what do you mean murder me, don't you mean us" America questioned.
"No, I mean you. I am not going to take the blame for your problems again: I already do that song and dance with Cuba. For once I'll use the fact no one can seem to see me to my advantage."
"Remember that time Russia sat on you"
"Stay Focused!"
"Alright, Alright" Alfred said defensively.
"We'll just slouch and wear shorter boots until the stuff comes, I'm sure we'll be fine without it."
Draco's Notes: Operation New World Twins
· Refer to each other as Canada (Mathew/violet eyes) and America (Alfred/Blue eyed)
· Mentioned England who I believe is Arthur their brother, multiple times in conversation and once referred to him as Iggy.
· 'England/Arthur' sends them some sort of medicine which I am assuming is the bright blue liquid.
· Mentioned 'Russia' sitting on 'Canada' (Mathew) for a long period of time and that Mathew/Canada/Can' often gets in trouble for things Alfred/America/Ame' does. Especially with 'Cuba'.
· Apparently Arthur forgets about Mathew a lot, see if he has abandonment issues,
· Actually check both for abandonment issues.
· Side effects occur when not taking their medicine. Do not know what they are, but I think one is they get taller.
"It's not the height thing I'm worried about; you know what will happen with our… condition."
"Dude I'll be fine. I can miss a few weeks."
"America! Last time you missed one week, you almost murdered an entire town!"
"But I didn't" America pointed.
"Because me and Prussia had to knock you out and drag you back!"
"But I still didn't".
"Look I know you are going to try, but that's like me not going and doing you-know-what every few nights, it just won't work. You'll go crazy."
· One use of the medicine is to help America/Alfred with his 'condition'.
· When Alfred/America doesn't get his medicine he gets on a rampage.
· Once he almost murdered a town when he missed one week of the medicine.
· Canada/Mathew and Prussia/(find out name) once knocked him out and dragged him back to stop him from murdering the town.
· Apparently Canada/Mathew sneaks out every few nights to do something. Find out what it is.
· Mathew goes crazy if he doesn't do what is mentioned in the previous note.
Draco closed his notebook rather loudly and this drew attention to those inside
"Hey Canadia did you hear that"
"It's Canada not Canadia and yes let's check it out eh."
· Mathew doesn't like being called Canadia
Draco quickly scribbled in his notes running away from the door and back to his hiding spot behind a couch.
Slowly the two crept out and looked around.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps went echoing in the halls.
"Hey who's out there?"
Then Draco saw something definitely unexpected.
He knew that Mathew had the ability to go unnoticed, but he didn't think that they (particularly Alfred) could turn completely invisible.
As the unidentified teacher ran towards them, they grabbed hands and disappeared.
Looking stunned and confused, the teacher that could now be identified as Snape cursed, obviously hoping to find any excuse to punish the twins.
Assuming he just imagined hearing the voices, (He seemed to have a lot of hallucinations around those two), he huffed and stomped off, looking for some other kid to ruin.
As soon as he walked off the twins released each other's hands and re-appeared.
"Ugh I'm never going to get used to that" Alfred complained, stumbling dizzyingly.
· They can disappear if they hold hands
"You can say that again Eh"
"This is worse than when Japan and Hungary drugged our water and locked us in a closet to prove 'CanAme' was real."
Canada shudder at the memory, they had banged on that door for hours till England eventually let them out.
"I am never going to forgive France for starting that rumor."
· Next time the two are together call them 'CanAme' and see their reaction.
Draco quickly wrote down, scrambling to catch up.
The two crept to the fat lady portrait and stood there.
"Uhh Can', do you know the password?"
"Didn't you write it down?"
"Yeah, I kind of forgot to transfer it to my phone."
Both Canada and Draco face palmed.
Typical Alfred.
"Well any ideas?" Mathew asked.
"I can punch it down".
"You will do no such thing!" the Lady in the painting yelled.
"Okay, I can go all China and headbutt down the wall next to it"
· 'Going all China' means headbutting down a wall.
"And alert the entire school" Mathew added.
Looking dejected America slumped against the wall and slid down.
Then the three heard footsteps a trio of footsteps running down the hall.
Taking it as his cue to leave, Draco closed his book and switched off his headset.
Then he snuck back to the Slytherin dorms and went to his room to review his notes.
Seeing this as their opportunity to get inside, they reluctantly rejoined the rings and became invisible.
They heard the others talking, as if they were listening from under water.
"Why was there a three headed dog?" Harry gurgled.
'Three headed dog?' the twins questioned in their minds, 'well now we have something to question them about'.
"Guarding something probably" Hermione replied clearly, but to the twins it sounded distorted. "It was standing on a trap door"
The three shouted the password "Ninrockets" at the scowling portrait and she opened up for them to step inside.
Not wanting to be trapped, without disconnecting their fingers and becoming visible, they stumbled into the portrait.
The painting shut with a loud bang, closing and locking behind them.
The three friends bid each other good night and left for their bedrooms.
The nations ran up, being careful not to touch the others and went to their room and into their own beds.
Alfred quickly wrote England a letter asking for more of the potion to keep them from reverting back to nineteen year olds (human years) and keep Alfred and Mathew from giving into their condition, and sent it off with his owl.
Mathew of course like every night turned on his night light then drifted to sleep.
Soon after them 'Red Head' and 'Scar Face', as Snape calls them, also came into the room and went to their respective beds.
After a few minutes everyone in the room was in a deep slumber.
