A/N- Sorry for the long wait. I went to a few parties and didn't have any time to work on this :( Just so you know, updates will be pretty random once school starts. Well, here's another chapter, and Anonymoose (guest) has guessed the countries correctly! *gives cookie*
Umbridge walked on, and on, and on. The sun wasn't very high in the sky yet, but to Umbridge it felt like burning rays were being beamed down on her, making her sweat. "Augumenti!" she cried, pointing her wand at her mouth. Water spurted out the end.
However, it was hot water. It burned Umbridge's mouth. She retched. I guess I'll have to find another house, then, she thought. She kept walking, not bothering to Apparate, as her headache was getting stronger.
A house appeared in the distance. Umbridge hopefully walked towards it. She still had no idea where she was.
She reached the front door, panting. After remembering to knock, she mused. Her thoughts became more and more mixed up. What is this place? Where am I? Where's Hogwarts? How come it's so hot? Why are all these "countries" so insolent? What is the Potter brat doing? Wait, what's the name of that caretaker- ah, Argus. How can he stand those brats? Wait, who's Argus?
The sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts. A girl was standing in the enteranceway. "Who are you? Go away, I don't have time for strangers," she spat before slamming the door.
Umbridge stood in shock for a few seconds before knocking again. The girl opened the door. "What do you want?" she snapped. How rude, Umbridge thought.
"Hem, hem. I do not know where I am." Umbridge simpered. "I have been walking for hours. Could I perhaps have a little food and drink, and then some directions?"
The girl snorted. "Well, since you're so obviously in need of help, come in. I am Belarus." she said. She led Umbridge into the house and sat her down at a table. Umbridge was given two loaves of bread and a glass of water. How stingy, she thought.
Biting into the bread, Umbridge heaved a sigh of relief. At last someone was giving her something!
Just then, Russia burst in through the door. "I knew I would find you here," he said to Umbridge. "You will come back to my house again, da?" Umbridge backed into a corner.
Then he realized that breaking into Belarus' house was not a good idea.
"Have you come to marry me, big brother?" Belarus asked. Russia turned around in fear and started running. "Ahhhhhh!" he screamed. Belarus took off after him.
How filthy, Umbridge thought. Wanting to marry your relative! People like her should be wiped out.
A few minutes later, Belarus returned. Umbridge was still there.
"Were you 'having fun' with my big brother?" she asked menacingly.
"N-no..." Umbridge stuttered. Merlin, this girl was scary!
"Don't lie to me. I know you were." Belarus pulled out a knife from seemingly nowhere. Umbridge backed up. The knife was now held at her throat. If she moved, her head would immediately be sliced off.
Suddenly, a ringtone blasted. Belarus dropped the knife in surprise. She pulled out her phone and swore. "Dammit, Lithuania! You're an idiot! Shut up, I'll block you! I'll break your fingers again! You [censored]-"
Wasn't that Lith-person one of those boys? Umbridge wondered. Well, no time to waste. Umbridge hurriedly ran out of the door. She ran and ran, keeping on even when her legs hurt (which was in about 20 meters). By the time Belarus stopped ranting about how stupid Lithuania was, it was already too late.
She slowed down to a walk, panting and sweating. How unclean these people are, she thought. A path stretched out in front of her. She walked on, not daring to go into the woods again.
And she still had not gotten directions.
A few minutes went by. Umbridge caught sight of another house. She sighed yet again. Surely not all people could be that rude. Walking to the door, she rang the bell and waited.
The door was opened by a woman in blue overalls. "Hello," she said warmly. "Who are you?"
"Hem, hem. I am Dolores Umbridge, Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic and High Inquisitor of Hogwarts..." Umbridge suddenly realized she had broken the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. Oh well.
"You look lost- would you like to come in for some bread?" the woman asked. "I'm Ukraine. Nice to meet you!" Umbridge was taken inside a small wooden house. What a disgusting old hovel, she thought.
Ukraine handed Umbridge a slice of bread. It was still warm from the oven. Umbridge chomped into it hungrily. It would have been so much better without her headache.
She slumped back in her chair, and her eyes were inadvertently drawn to Ukraine's chest. Umbridge stared. And stared. The bread was getting cold, but she still had her eyes glued there, ignoring the uncomfortable looks Ukraine gave her.
"Eat your bread," Ukraine said, snapping Umbridge out of her trance. Oh, how rude she'd been! Umbridge promised to herself that she would never do that again.
Of course, after half a minute, her eyes were drawn back to Ukraine's bosom.
Umbridge's sight range was not wide enough to see the glare on Ukraine's face that was growing stronger by the second. She was very surprised to see Ukraine stand up and grab her by her cardigan. Umbridge struggled in vain.
"YOU WILL LOOK ME IN THE EYES OR DESPAIR!" Ukraine yelled, pushing Umbridge out the front door and into a puddle of mud. She slammed the door. By this time, Umbridge had stopped straining and just lay there.
After a full half hour, Umbridge dragged herself out of the dirt and shook her ripped and filthy cardigan, now covered with muddy pancake mix. Clutching her head, she waddled off in a random direction, hoping it was the way back to Hogwarts- or better, London, where the Ministry was.
A/N- Well, there's Snapped-ish Ukraine for you, because nobody can act completely in-character around Umbridge. Also, a GIGANTIC reference- find it! Same routine as usual- first person to guess the next country gets a cookie. You can still guess the grasslands and the forest- we need more guessers! Review please?
