This is long- apologises!

This series of one shot episodes is a co-written piece. To get the full story list it is advised that you also add rupsydaisy to your watch list. We will both be updating the finished chapters but they are mostly collaboration works; the person who uploads it is just the one who did most of the writing/had the original idea.

Information on the series:
The initial idea was a single one shot but it quickly expanded to a larger series. There are many shorts planned, but when we run out of ideas we maybe be willing to accept more. These shorts are set over many years, with large intervals between them that join the characters at small episodes in their lives. We were originally going to do them in an order but they make sense without them. At the beginning of each chapter we will indicate the year each of the characters are in (just to aid explanation) but if anyone gets confused we have a list we can send for reference. The Hetalia characters are central to the story in their 'human' form, in other words they are not countries but the characters personalities set in an alternate universe. Namely in this case Harry Potter and Hogwarts. The cross-over nature lies in the cameos of the teachers at Hogwarts and the occasional mention of other characters, but they will not be central to the story.

Pairings:
There is no set paring for the series. Some of the chapters will include slight paring (or what can be read as more than a simple friendship) but these will be indicated at the start of each chapter along with the characters ages.

Rating:
Overall the story will have a rating of K. There will be a warning and a revised rating for some chapters but on the whole this probably will not occur. This series is mainly for fun and a play around with the characters- Hope you enjoy!

Boss Spain's Cheering Charms

The second floor corridor was slowly emptying as the bell rang, ushering the students to their respective classes with its shrill call. The stone corridor was filled with the chatter of many voices and the occasional shouting voice as the children called to their friends across the room. A owl flew briefly over head and a girl gave a startled scream as a boy ran behind her, sliding a frog of some sort down her blouse, much to the encouragement of his friends whose cheering only increased when the victim turned and smashed her bag over his head, cauldron and all.

Once again Antonio found himself loitering with Francis beside the doorway from Charms class where there was a small alcove, perfect for standing in and avoiding the eyes of any passing prefect. It was not as if they didn't have anywhere to go, but the proximity of their last class to their next, Herbology, made them lazy. It did not help that time keeping was neither of their strong points.

"Look over there," Francis drawled, pointing down the far end of the corridor where a gaggle of second year Hufflepuffs streamed from the staircase that lead from the Defence classrooms. A smile lit up Antonio's face at the sight of his most very favourite person in the world. Lovino Vargas looked as grumpy and adorable as usual as he stomped his way down the steps, avoiding his cheerful brother who was chattering away to his classmates.

"Someone looks like they are in an especially foul mood this morning." Francis added with a snort.

"Hey, Lovi!" Antonio ignored the blond's words and greeted the younger boy with a wave as the group moved past towards the library. Lovino's face contorted as is he was contemplating running in the opposite direction or punching Antonio in the teeth but he stopped and grunted a reluctant hello, squealing as the older boy grabbed him in a sudden hug.

"Get off me, bastard!" He yelped, thrashing about until he was released. He glared daggers at the young man as he moved on and hugged his brother too. Feliciano did not mind the attention and returned the gesture happily, giggling madly as he was picked up off his feet and swung through the air. Luckily enough the number of people in the hallway had decreased as people hurried to their lessons.

One of the other Hufflepuffs, a bespectacled youth with blond hair that flopped into his eyes, turned back to look at them with large eyes. His voice was quiet when he spoke and almost overridden by the cheerful conversation between Antonio and Feliciano. "Erm, Feli? Are you coming? We need this free period to sort out your Transfiguration homework, remember?"

"I remember Matthew, just coming." He responded before turning to his brother quickly. "I'll see you at lunch, Fratello!" Feliciano skipped off after the others, leaving Lovino staring after him and suddenly alone with the two friends.

Francis moved in instantly, lacing his arm casually around his shoulder before he could get away. "What is eating you, mon petit ami?"

Lovino scowled as he pushed the blond off him. "Nothing is wrong with me. Mind your own business garlic boy. Where is your other idiot?"

"Gilbert?" Francis guessed before shrugging dramatically, unfazed by the rebound. "Who knows, skipping as usual I assume. The last I heard he was planning on covering himself with troll slime and going to hide in the girls lavatory for the sole purpose of scaring Elizabeta so she could 'realised how awesome he was'."

Antonio did not add to the conversation, instead he stared at the two chatting boys with a pout on his face. He watched Lovino closely, viewing the frown lines on the younger boys face with sadness. Lovino did not fit into the usual expectations of a Hufflepuff; he was lazy rather than hardworking, lost interest in things easily unless they really caught his eye. Patient was not a word often used in the same sentence when referring to him, unless it had the words 'is not' in front of it. But the hat had put him in the house and he was welcomed in by all despite his stubborn nature and scowls. Antonio always wished Lovino could be happier, he needed cheering up and he took it upon himself to make the younger boy smile when others had given up. It was a difficult task most days-

Then a beautiful idea came to mind: they had just had a lesson on cheering charms. Flitwick had set them all homework to keep practising the spell. He had meant on themselves or classmates but this was almost the same, besides Lovino needed it.

"Lovi," Antonio crooned reaching for his wand slyly, attempting to do so without the other boy noticing. "Will you help me with my homework?"

"Right now?" For a moment Lovino looked confused but his eyes grew wide at the sight of the wand suddenly pointing at him from under the folds of the other boy's cloak. "Jerk! What are you doing?"

Even Francis looked confused, his blond eyebrows drawing together in shock at his friend's behaviour.

"Boss wants to make you happy!" Antonio said decisively, and his green eyes sparkled with something which made the Italian think that he had lost his mind. Especially when it was coupled with a smile that was far too big for a day of lessons which had barely begun. "Boss wants to give you a cheering charm! Then you'll be happy all day-"

"No! Don't you dare!" Lovino snarled taking a step back, his face paling. "I swear Antonio, don't you even think for one minute, I-"

Antonio laughed, a small chuckle under his breath as he raised his wand like a sword. With one final, non-magical curse in his direction the younger boy turned on his heel and ran down the corridor in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately the hallway was straight and there was no way for him to dodge the spell that shot at him. The force sent him crashing to the floor with a clattering sound as he skidded a little on the worn carpets; face first and arms splayed out.

Antonio gasped in horror at the same time that Francis sniggered loudly. Ignoring his friend Antonio ran to the other boy's side; he had not expected the spell to throw him that way. In class it had not felt that powerful. Had he done something wrong? He hoped Lovino was okay.

"Dios mio, I'm so sorry Lovi." He said as he crouched by the fallen boy's side. He looked unharmed but he wasn't moving. He tried not to panic. "Are you hurt?"

Lovino sat bolt upright as if electrocuted, holding up his body with his arms. He lips were pulled upwards in an uncharacteristic smile with his face otherwise relaxed. Antonio jumped back in shock. He was expecting an angry scowl and cursing.

"Lovi, are you okay?" He asked tentatively as his hands fluttered about the boy's shoulder's, wondering if he would be shouted at if he tried to help him up.

"I'm... great!" Lovino replied enthusiastically with a dreamy expression adorning his features. His eyes were wide and out of focus but the smile was strangely untarnishable. "I actually feel FAN-tastic!"

"It looks as if he is drunk. I think you may have broken him, Toni." Francis chuckled as he wandered over to get a better look at the frankly hilarious situation Antonio had inadvertently created. Lovino stared up at him blankly for a long moment then lunged forward, hugging his legs in a tight embrace almost causing him to topple. "Arghh, what the hell are you doing? Antonio get him off!"

"I've never told you this," Lovino mumbled into the cloth of Francis' cloak. "But even though you are a pervert and a bit of a jerk, I like you. You're a good friend!"

"You have broken him." He looked dubiously down at Lovino with an open mouth before shaking him off and brushing his clothes down with a slim hand. Lovino landed on the floor once more as if his body had no bones, giggling lightly. Francis frowned. "Maybe you should take him to the hospital wing."

"I love the hospital wing!" Lovino gasped, sitting up with wide eyes as though Francis was a minor deity he had chanced upon in the corridor. He seemed to take in his surroundings a little more and the smile on his face grew painfully wide. "In fact, I feel a sudden warmth towards everything... I love everything!"

For a second the ghost of a frown flitted across his features but then his face cracked into a beaming smile.

"Isn't it wonderful?" He sang, and then pitched forward onto the floor again, landing with a soft thud. Antonio stared on horrified, his gaze flicking between Lovino's prone form and his wand with growing terror. There was a clatter as he dropped the wand to the floor and sunk to his knees beside him, reaching forward a hand to shake Lovino's shoulder.

"Oh my God, I killed him." Antonio panicked. Francis shook his head in despair as he picked up Antonio's wand and twirling it between his long fingers.

"...Me llamo es Lovino..." Lovino mumbled, his voice muffled by the floor. A giggle punctuated his nattering. "...Me encantan los tomates..."

Francis looked confused and more than a little amused. "He's speaking in tongues! Antonio, what the hell did you do? You are going to get in so much trouble for this; Professor Hassan will have your head on a stick for sure. Not to mention Professor Vargas, he isn't going to be happy you broke his grandson."

"You need to help me with him; we'll have to take him to the hospital wing!" Antonio said as he gathered his wits once more. He grabbed one of Lovino's arms and pulled. He only succeeded in rolling the boy onto his back where he stared at the ceiling, smiling like a maniac and giggling. Antonio's face blanched at the mess he had made. "Maybe they can give him a potion or something to fix him!"

"Are you sure you cast a cheering charm?" Francis queried.

Antonio glared back.

"Because, it seems more like a loss-of-sanity spell to me." He shrugged his shoulders, handing back Antonio his wand. The other boy was not impressed by his humour and pulled a face.

"Shut it and help." Antonio demanded, placing his offending object in his pocket before reaching out to grasp Lovino's shoulders.

Together they managed to get Lovino to his feet where he swayed drunkenly before they supported him. He seemed unable to take his own weight, too busy smiling to himself. The progress was slow and Antonio inwardly cursed that the hospital wing was on the fifth floor which meant going all the way back to the grand staircase, covering lots of flights of stairs.

"I have to thank you I suppose, Antonio." Francis grumbled as they hoisted Lovino's dead weight up the steps, both of them ignoring his ramblings about tomatoes and love. "At least this is a valid excuse to miss Herbology. My nails have never been the same since the mandrake incident."

Antonio puffed in response. Lovino chose that moment to suddenly break off from the two of them and stumble to a nearby suit of armour which he then patted as though checking it was real.

"So shiny!" He commented happily. Francis was trying not to laugh as Antonio coaxed him away with the lost expression of someone not sure what to do. When the younger boy's eyes fell on him the smile on his lips widened once more and he threw his arms around Antonio, giving him a tight hug.

"You! I really like you!" he babbled. He leaned back from his hug to gaze up at the older boy's horrified face with wide, unfocused eyes. "I don't ever say it, but I think you already know. I mean I haven't like beaten you up yet...Not that I can because you're bigger than me, and I'm sure I couldn't take you on even if I tried, but yeah. I like you... You're nice and you care about me even when I'm being about as approachable as a Blast Ended Skrewt-"

Antonio stared back, mouth open in shock. Was that some sort of declaration?

"He's creeping me out. It's not normal for him to be like this." Francis declared. He helped to pry him off his friend and together they managed to make it to the hospital wing without any more diversions. When they entered, carrying Lovino between them, Madam Pomfrey turned to appraise the sight and then simply shook her head.

"Oh dear, what happened here then?" She asked as she bustled over from her work station. Lovino was slumped now and still laughing a little under his breath, his eyes still out of focus.

"A cheering charm, Miss," Antonio said forlornly. The tension must have got to him because he couldn't help but sob in panic making Francis roll his eyes. "It was me, I did it! I wanted him to be happy and smile for once but I think I broke him instead. You can help him can't you?"

The matron tutted loudly and steered them to a bed, gently manoeuvring Lovino until he was sat down on the covers. He giggled as she inspected him, prodding him with her wand lightly.

"He'll be fine." She said, tutting again. "I've seen something like this before although I can honestly say that spell was not as strong as yours. However, it's only a charm so it should wear off soon."

Antonio breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"The spell should normally only last for an hour or so but something tells me we may be a while with this one. I think it would be best for him to stay here, he's in no fit state to go down for lunch." Madame Pomfrey continued her diagnosis.

"I like lunch, I like pasta for lunch." Lovino proclaimed wildly. He waved his hands around as if to emphasise his point so that the matron had to quickly move herself out of his hands path to save her face. "I also like pasta for dinner and snacks. God, I love pasta!"

"We'll make sure to send a bowl up," Francis promised, his face twitching as he tried not to laugh. Antonio elbowed him in the ribs in return. He felt terrible, this was all his fault. He had only wanted him to be cheerful.

"I'll bring you some pasta, Lovi." Antonio promised and Lovino turned to look at him, beaming happily.

"That's good." Lovino nodded his head and his smile decreased slightly, the spell wearing off enough to make him look halfway to normal. "Thank you."

oOo

Six hours, two bowls of pasta and three missed lessons later, Lovino was allowed to leave the hospital wing with his usual scowl back on his face and all traces of the charm gone. His entrance to the common room was an even more angry display than usual, the common room entrance all but kicked open and his bag was thrown in before he too joined it, snatching it up from the floor angrily as he stood up. The low ceilinged room, which had been full of good natured chatter before, suddenly fell quiet at the sight of the frowning second year. Lovino paid them no heed and stalked across the room to the study tables, his stormy face out of place in the cheerful atmosphere. Antonio, who had been working alone, looked up and flinched at his style of entrance, paling as the younger boy advanced towards him. Here it comes...

"Ah, Lovi!" Antonio smiled tentatively from his seat by the tables. The smile on his face attempted to be good natured but there was a nervousness behind it as if he expected Lovino to lunge for him. He put his quill down on his page in his homework, probably so he could run away easier if it happened. "You're...better now?"

Lovino advanced and the scowl deepened. "Better? I wouldn't have to be better in the first place if you hadn't cast that damn cheering charm!" He ranted and whacked Antonio's shoulder with his bag. The few groups of other Hufflepuffs sitting around the common room turned to look at the conversation, some with interest and some with worry.

"I'm sorry!" Antonio yelped, throwing his hands up in defence and only daring to look out between his fingers cautiously. "But you're frowning now, so you're okay?"

"What made you cast the damn charm in the first place?" Lovino shouted, his face turning red in suppressed rage. His fingers gripped his bag hard, probably itching to throw something at him.

"I wanted you to smile." Antonio sniffled. "I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be cheerful- please don't hate me!"

Lovino paused, puffing up but then all the air left him and he sat down opposite, deflated. There was a long pause.

"Yeah, well don't go casting charms all over the place then." His face slowly lost the red hue and he seemed to breathe normally again, his temper back under control. He refused to catch the other boy's eye and seemed suddenly very interested in the plants that hung above their heads.

"No, I won't." Antonio promised eagerly, nodding his head in agreement. "It's very dangerous. I went to Professor Flitwick to explain to him what happened and he said I shouldn't use that spell on anyone again, but I get full marks anyway in the class. I'm lucky I didn't get detention to be honest. I could have really hurt you. You were all wrong when you were smiling and telling Francis that you loved him and tomatoes."

"Don't remind me." He groaned putting his head into his hands. Faintly Antonio wondered how much of the conversation he had had while under the influence of the spell he remembered, and if he recalled the conversation they had had; but his cheeks were flaring red with embarrassment so perhaps he did. Lovino paused and looked up, confused at his choice in words. "Wait, how was I wrong?"

"It's not that it was wrong exactly," Antonio replied, his voice thoughtful. "Just not right. You're always grumpy and I thought that it meant you were sad, but it doesn't. Grumpy is your happy but..." Antonio grinned cheerfully and pinched the other boy's cheek. "It is nice to see you smile Lovi." He said truthfully.

There was a long moment of deathly silence in the room where Lovino merely stared at the other boy blankly. The other Hufflepuffs watching the conversation winced at his mistake.

"Pinch my cheek again, call me Lovi one more time," Lovino growled dangerously. "Or even think about using another silly charm on me, and I will kill you with my bare hands. I won't even need a damn wand."

"Sure thing Lovi," Antonio said with a grin, squishing his cheek between his thumb and fore finger once more for luck. "Whatever you say."

oOo

This was certainly a stretch from the seriousness of the mafia story I'll tell you but I have a lot of fun writing these :')
