Next Year - A Hetalia USUK Harry Potter Fanfiction

Chapter 1: Hogwarts

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of Hetalia. All rights go to Hidekaz Himaruya. I also do not own any part of Harry Potter. All rights go to JK Rowling.

Now, with that out of the way, hello! I'm Leah and I LOVE and let me say, I LOOOOOOOOVE Hetalia! I am Hetalian. I also really like the Harry Potter series (the books are better than the movies, just sayin') and I love writing fanfictions!

This will be a USUK fanfic. If you're like me, then you have lots of ships, but there are just some that you can't decide on. For me, I love AmeriPan, and FrUk, and USUK. They are always fighting in my brain. But for this, because it's Harry Potter themed, I'm doing USUK.

YAOI WARNING!!! NOT A LEMON!!! FLUFF!!! Relatively child friendly other than kissing and some cursing here and there, though based on the Hetalia audience, I'm guessing this will be mostly teenagers reading this.

The time will be around Albus and Scorpius time (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) meaning modern day. So it is definitely after Harry is out of school and is working at the Ministry of Magic. I'll also be having them start as first years. Another thing, for the first chapter or two, they will still be first years, but as time goes on, they're probably going to skip a few years, but I'll make sure you guys know when it happens.

Well, without further adieu, enjoy!

"Arthur Kirkland," the Sorting Hat sat on top of the blonde's head. He had been waiting for this moment all his life. His older brothers had all gone through the process and had all gotten the same result in this very dining hall. Arthur braced himself as he heard, "SLYTHERIN!"

"Of course," he nodded and smiled a grand smile. He had been expecting it and it had come. He joined his brothers and fellow Slytherins at the table littered with black, white, and green. As he took his seat, more children came, and each new eleven-year-old was met with their new house they'd be stuck with for the next seven years.

Soon, Arthur saw someone go up. She seemed eager and shy at the same time. She crossed her fingers and her long, dark brown hair tied in low pigtails bounced as the old Sorting Hat was placed atop her head as well. "SLYTHERIN!"

Arthur, as well as everyone else at his table stood up and cheered loudly, but the girl just seemed confused. She slowly made her way to the table in shock. Most of the kids didn't notice, but Arthur did. He put his hands down and invited her to take a seat next to him.

"I- I didn't think I'd be put in Slytherin. My mum said probably Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but they assured me that I wasn't even going to step foot in anything green." she said softly, a little hurt, but still, mostly confused.

"Well the sorting hat I guess is pretty funny like that sometimes." he replied.

She looked up at him and said, "My name's Shelly. And you?" Now she seemed completely different. Way happier than any average person should be, Arthur thought. He chuckled slightly at how quickly her emotions changed, and thought they'd turn out to be good friends.

"Arthur." he smiled and the shook hands.

Now they were getting to the last of the kids waiting to be sorted. One boy was looking completely in awe at everything he saw. He had dirty blonde hair and crisp blue eyes. Not someone Arthur would ever hang out with, he decided. He looks like a total jerk. He concluded, even though he hadn't yet even met the boy.

"Alfred Jones," Arthur listened to the name and furrowed his thick brows. Alfred? Jones? Those names are crazy weird. A couple kids murmured as they said his name. It sounded so... American. The sorting hat was placed atop his head and a little flick of hair stood out compared to the rest of his hair. It was curled upwards and made Arthur laugh. The boy was startled when he heard the hat talk, even though he had watched it happen to all the children before him. "This is an easy one." said the Sorting Hat. "GRYFFINDOR!"
