England, Harry Potter crossover

The countries have seen a lot in their lives, but this Voldemort character is really starting to become an internal affairs issue that Arthur can't continue to ignore. Cue him showing up at the Ministry of Magic/Hogwarts to aid in this problem. Just one thing. Even though Arthur has kept up his interest in magic, he's very much left the Magic world alone and allowed it to run itself, leaving them in the dark and very much disbelieving (oh the irony) of his existence.
OP wants to see England showing all these bigwig wizards their place. They know some fancy spells, but he's essentially the source of the magic behind them. Would like this to be serious, but whatever inspires you

Graviora Manent - The Worst is Yet to Come
16 June, 1996
World meetings were always a stressful time for one Arthur Kirkland. Even more so when they were in London, as they were this year, where he was the one who had to worry about them. Yet even more so when London was covered in a fog so oppressive it almost seemed alive. Indeed, so far, it had been a bad year for Arthur. He was grouchy and, oddly enough, he found himself more and more missing the days when he actually was allowed to have adventures. Back when exciting things happened, instead of the same boring diplomacy, the same boring schedule day in and day out. Nine ‘o clock, go to work, eleven, sit in some boring meeting that made him want to hang himself. Fifteen-hundred, have tea. Seventeen-hundred, suffer through various telephone calls and occasional meetings with his fellow Nations.
Blah.
It wasn’t just that he was bored, it was that he was borderline depressed. And the fog wasn’t helping to the point where he sincerely felt like it was actually making it

To say that the patronus that joined them then was big would be a slight understatement. The glowing white bear reared up on its hind paws and batted a Dementor so hard that the dark creature faded into the mist. It gave this treatment to a few others, while its caster approached. Russia smiled widely and waved with his wand hand, holding the wand with his thumb and forefinger as he waved

“...I’m not finished,” Kaoru said.
“Me neither!” Taiwan chimed in. China looked smugly at Arthur.
“You are now,” Arthur snapped. “As I was saying-”
“Rude!” China exclaimed. “Let them talk!”
“No! We’re in my capital, and what I have to say will get all of you out of my bloody hair that much faster! So belt up!” There was grumbling. Oh, was there grumbling. But Arthur couldn’t be arsed to care. He straightened his suit jacket and cleared his throat again. “We’ll have to somewhat organise the evacuation of Nations so that no non-magic user is without protection

So this is the prologue. I do intend to incorporate the bonuses (because making this a USUK was one of the selling points that made me sit down with it), and I’ve done lots of worldbuilding. My plans for this include bringing in England’s brothers to help, since (with Hogwarts being in Scotland, least of all) the Wizarding War is certainly not limited to just England, so that’s a warning, I guess, for OCs. (And I don’t believe in Pixiv!Scotland

Thrilled OP here! This is an amazing start, anon! I'd debated mentioning other nations could come too since magic in Harry Potterverse is not limited to England, but didn't want to make the request too lengthy or specific. So imagine my absolute glee when Germany walked onto the scene. The setup so far is exciting, and the dialogue is wonderful. I'd point out some specific lines I loved, but then I think I'd end up quoting half this prologue.
I think it's my new headcannon that Russia has a boggart locked up in his house somewhere. Also I'm absolutely in love with Arthur's patronus. Adorable, kickass, playful puppy for the win!

GUH. OP and Author anon, I love you both so much. I've wanted a fill with badass!wizard!Arthur showing up all those other bigwigs but I never got around to requesting it. I'm SO excited for this fill incorporated and Authoranon I'm glad you incorporated other nations that can do magic. Hope you update again soon!

I think you did a great job with the ambientation. Russia patronus is cuute like him!!XD Poor America! Even Germany had a patronus (and it's difficult for me to see him and magic in the same sentence). I'm looking foward too see the reaction of the magic world to the REAL world (meaning the Nation). And some good UsxUk is always good for my health^^

The Love I feel for you at this moment cannot be expressed by feeble words, beloved authornon. Anon here has been waiting for such request since the beginning of times. I was rather biased to write it myself, but I can't compete to your prowess.

This is so amazing. I love you. And to clarify, is Hong Kong's patronus the tiger? And I do wonder where authors get "Kaoru" from. This anon will so be stalking the fill page for this!

Hong Kong's patronus is actually the monkey. The tiger is Taiwan. Macaques (such as is HK's patronus) are known to be mischievous, and I felt like that kind of suited a personality trait for HK that he doesn't necessarily outwardly express but that comes through in, say, him doing asshole things to England with fireworks.
As for Kaoru, I was just told that it was a common human name for him (I wtf'd at it too, though) and since he's just in this chapter I figured it would be easier to go with something that people might recognise as HK than research and make up a whole new name that I would have to explain (and probably screw up, since I don't know Chinese at all).
