Chapter 23: The Greatest

The Nations laughed at England's misfortune when he told his story about last night (Norway just giving a mocking expression). The Brit of course got mad at his companions because they didn't comfort him and instead they laughed. Bulgaria's the first to recover, so he comforted the blond.

"I don't think he'll expel you for breaking curfew hours and for accusing him of something not not really worth accusing. Maybe he'll just yell at you and deduct points from the Slytherin house." Bulgaria smiled to reassure to him.

"But he's the founder of Hogwarts! He's one of the almighty founders!" England started to panic again.

"That's what you get for leaving your book, idiot!" Romania laughed.

"Shut up, vampire!" England tried to strangle the Romanian once again.

In the middle of their bickering, one huge man stopped at the side of their table. Looking up, the four Nations froze on their seats when they see Godric Gryffindor.

He's here!!! They all thought, sweating bullets.

I'm so doomed. England accepted whatever his fate would be.

"You're Arthur Kirland, am I correct?" Godric asked in a humble tone.

"Y-Yes sir." Despite the positive tone of the founder, Arthur's still thinking of bad thoughts.

"What were you doing in the middle of the night?"

"S-Sir, I was trying to go back to the Astronomy Tower to retrieve my Astronomy Book."

After a few moments of Godric staring at the little boy, he laughed out loud, catching each and every student's reaction. "Don't be afraid my young lad. Here, this is what you're looking for, am I right?" The founder brought out a book from within his clothes, handing it to the Slytherin.

England took his book and thanked Godric. He even stood up to bow at the man.

"Hahaha! Such a charming young lad." Godric ruffled the hair of England. Taking back his hand, the man looked at all the four Nations. "I- and we the founders have great expectations from you all. It's sad that not one of you became a Gryffindor, but it's nice to know that you enrolled in this Magic School. Carry on."

With that last remark, Godric left the Great Hall, leaving everyone stunned.

"Did he just say that the founders expect great things from us?" Romania wanted to clear things before he could even react.

"He did say that." Norway replied.

"I'm in so much joy right now!" Bulgaria started crying in joy.

England on the otherhand, changed his impression and outlook on the founders. They're all kind and caring, like real leaders.

Someday, I want to be as great as them. England hugged the book Godric gave back.

The Magic Within Me✵✣

For the whole day, the Nations passed the greatest expectations in all subjects, surprising the students, professors, and founders. And when Flying Class came in, it was a showdown between the four.

Riding on the broom and flying in the air like it was nothing, the other students struggled with their first try of flying on their broomsticks. Their professor just gawked at the four students who flew in the sky like they owned it.

"Look, one hand!" Romania said, flying at full speed with one hand on the broom, balancing himself perfectly well.

"I can do even something better." England let go of his broom and both him and his broom started to fall on the ground. Before the professor could cast a spell to save him, England rode on his broom before completely falling to the cold hard ground. The Professor just fainted, glad that nothing happened to the blond, or else he'll get fired.

"Idiots." Norway said as he flies in the air at full speed, standing on his broom as he does flips and crazy rotations.

"Guys... Calm down." Bulgaria laughs nervously, standing on his broom with one foot. He is indeed standing on his broom, at the wrong side of it. He's completely balancing his foot on the handle of the broom.

Meanwhile, the students on the ground.

"How can they do that?!"

"I still can't fly this damn thing!"

"I can just barely lift myself from the ground!"

"Aaaaah! Someone help! I'm heading straight to the wall!"

"Johnny! Get off your broom before you collide!"

Then there's the students inside the castle who can see the shenanigans of the four Nations.

"They are monsters. Are they really first years?"

"Damn, I can't even call my broomstick to my hand."

"Lucky bastards."

"Isn't of them Allistor's brother?"

The class all turned to Allistor, who's reading a book about Apparition. Then they all looked away, sweating.

If he's Allistor's brother, then no kidding. Allistor basically had a showdown with the best Flying professor and defeated him with a serious 0-100 score. The students thought.

The Magic Within Me✵✣

When the school year comes to end, the very first batch to graduate became well known wizards. One of them is Scotland, who passed every class and lesson, being the number one student and he's one of the people who brought Glory to Slytherin.

For the rest of the Nations, they moved up to being Second Years. The four passed with the same remarkable grades as Scotland, making almost everyone look up to them. Although there are students who doesn't approve their rankings.

In no time, the four Nations graduated from Hogwarts. It was a glorious seven years for the Slytherin House, always having the most points. It was during this time where the wizards spread the word that the Slytherin house is the most powerful, and most righteous house but Salazar Slytherin has yet to fall.

The four students all excelled in Flying, being masters when maneuvering the broomstick. In the Electives, or the subjects only for third years and above, they mastered the Study of Ancient Runes. They all also got the highest grades in Ancient Studies, Magical Theory, and Muggle Art which are all extra-curricular subjects that give more grades and credit.

England is known for his mastery in the Core Classes of Charms, and Transfiguration. When he became a third year, he excelled in Divination in the Electives. In extra-curricular subjects, he got the highest grades in Art and Muggle Music. But England is most well known for his combat skills in using magic on both the offensive and defensive.

Norway graduated in having the highest grades in the following Core Classes: Astronomy, Charms, and Transfiguration. As for the Electives, he mastered Apparition and Arithmancy. For the extra-curricular subjects, he got the highest grades in Ghoul Studies, Xylomancy, and Orchestra. He became known for using ice magic in his everyday life.

As for Romania, he excelled in the Core Classes of Charms, Potions, Astronomy, and Transfiguration. In the Electives, he mastered the following: Alchemy, and Divination. He got the highest grades in Ghoul Studies and Xylomancy in the extra-curricular subjects. Despite his reputation for being a master in mischief, he created his own magic spells, potions, and charms.

Bulgaria on the otherhand mastered Herbology, Potions, and Defence Against the Dark Arts in the Core Classes. As for the Electives, he excelled in Care of Magical Creatures. In his extra-curricular subjects, he mastered Frog Choir, Ghoul Studies, and Music. Bulgaria on the otherhand is best known for his knowledge and skills in the Dark Arts and the Defence Against the Dark Arts.

The four became the pride and joy of Hogwarts for their existence has spread all across the world of magic. For seven years, the Four Nations became inseparable. They even made a promise, that no matter what, the four will remain friends. The bond they shared for seven years is special, and they treasured it. Little do they know, that bond will go through challenges in the future that will either break or strengthen them.

After Graduation, the founders offered them all to be professors at Hogwarts in a young age of eighteen. And so, they taught in Hogwarts. Bulgaria taught in the Defence Against the Dark Arts subject, Romania became a professor in Charms class, Norway was given a spot in Transfiguration, and England chose to teach in Apparition and Arithmancy. The founders are the first wizards to know about the four's secret, which is being Nations. Salazar felt betrayed with England and Romania being Nations and not being a pureblood wizard but he lived with it, because they're strong wizards.

Bulgaria lasted being a professor for five years, having to leave because his Nation needs him. England left his spot in Arithmancy and filled Bulgaria's spot. Romania left Hogwarts in his seventh year, wanting to follow his dreams to make more spells and potions. Norway lasted for ten years, wanting to rest from the magic world, and so he wasn't seen again for quite a while. England stayed in Hogwarts as a professor for fourteen years, and he decided that he has done enough for the school. He thought that the school can manage itself already. Despite bing around for fourteen years, he should've looked like someone who's thirty-four years old but he remained looking young in his early twenties.

The four Nations disappeared from the world of magic, making everyone wonder where they went. Rumors spread that they were killed from jealousy and greed, others said that they mingle with the Muggles, and there are other ridiculous rumors. But in truth, the four are doing their responsibilities as Nations. Although from time to time, they visit the world of magic, with identities kept hidden.

Later on, news spread that Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts after his idea of letting the school only accept pureblood wizards was shut down. England and Romania, students from Slytherins, were disappointed in Salazar the most. He was swallowed with the idea of too much.

The four Nations made an appearance in the world of Magic, showing everyone how young they still look, bringing up the concept of the fountain of youth. They even visited the Founders before any of them died, to which the Founders are glad to see them doing well. And so, the founders passed their will onto them.

Rowena Ravenclaw gave her will and wishes to Norway. Helga Hufflepuff gave her own wishes and dreams to Bulgaria. Salazar told his ideals and will to Romania. On the otherhand, Godric chose England to pass on his will, and England chose to accept Godric's will.

One by one, the Founders died while the Nations continued to live for centuries. They continued to watch the evolution of both the magic and human world.

One after another, magic schools has been built. A century later, the Durmstrang Institute was built in the northernmost regions of Europe. Another century later, the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic was born.

Bulgaria enrolled in Durmstrang, disguising himself to be young once again. Hogwarts will always hold a special place in his heart, and if he's going to choose sides, it would be Hogwarts, although no one knows about this, not even Romania. The same goes with Romania, he enrolled in Durmstrang but will always choose Hogwarts before anything else. Even Norway enrolled in this magic school, since it's just at the border of his place. Like Bulgaria and Romania, he holds Hogwarts as the most special and he puts his loyalty there. Other Nations enrolled in Durmstrang like Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. But they're not the only Nations to enroll in Durmstrang.

England didn't feel betrayed, he was happy for them. England stayed loyal to Hogwarts, watching everything as it changes.

The neighboring magic school, Beauxbatons Academy, also had Nations study there. Slowly, magic became a part of Nations.

As the magic world kept growing and growing, the Wizard's Council was established. Witches and wizards started to search for their own kind and form in groups as their relationship with Muggles worsened. The Triwizard Tournament and Quidditch became National and International events.

Sadly, the Nations couldn't enter the Triwizard tournament since they need to enroll once again in a magic school but studying in the same magic school for more than once with the same face will alarm the wizards. As for Quidditch, it became an international game. The four Nations, England, Romania, Norway, and Bulgaria joined on their country's official Quidditch team, and the four fought with fun and joy. Their mastery in flying came to use, and they grabbed the attention of wizardkind.

When news broke out that the four wizards were last seen a long time ago, still looking exactly the same, the four Nations quitted playing for their Quidditch teams to keep their identities a secret. And once again, they lived in secrecy.

Years 1300-1700... is called an era by the Magic Nations. It became known as the "Era of Depression".
