I do not like this chapter very much, but it seemed like some of this stuff needed to be said.

“Try the Schiller,” said France, quietly, but the Italies couldn’t hear him through their sobs. “It might work…” However, while the three of them were too engulfed in their grief, Snape took the opportunity to take the book from their hands.
“Goethe,” Snape read on the cover. “Who is Goethe.”
“A German poet,” said England.
“A poet.”
“One that Germany has been known to respond to,” said England, huffing out smoke from his cigarette. Snape glanced down at the book Russia picked up and opened while waiting anxiously for his scarf.
“And Pushkin?”
“A beloved Russian poet,” said England.
“And you expect me to believe that the dead can rise with mere poetry.”
“Mere poetry!” Russia threw the book at Snape’s head, Snape narrowly dodging. “Mere poetry!“It’s best not to upset those who have just been resurrected,” said Japan quietly, respectfully. “That is, it’s not recommended if you value your health

“Yes, well… you know about salamanders? The magic kind. Oh, of course you do, you probably had to deal with them all the time if students left burners on,” said England. Finally, finally, China found the scarf buried under the pile of clothes and brought it over to Russia, who held it to his chest

“I believe Headmaster Snape is incredulous of the idea that beings, such as ourselves, can possibly exist without some sort of dark magic involved,” said Japan.
“Well, Mr. Snape, do you think that we’re evil? Made of Dark Magic?”
“I just watched your men slaughter about forty people with my own eyes. Not kill. Slaughter.”
“Oh.”
“With guns. All of them were killed with holes in them made with guns.“I guess that seems a little evil

Oh, dear Severus, countries have lots of history, and histories generally tend to be full of bloodshed and slaughter. This is probably 0.0001% of what the countries have done or seen in the past centuries and millenia, so it's not surprising that they don't care if they happen to offend the Order's sensibilities.

I have been very tired the past few days and stuff... I mean I slept like 12 hours yesterday or something and stayed in bed most of the rest so... eh.
I know it was kind of cool getting updates every day for a while, but finals are coming and I'm still exhausted so I don't think it'll be continuing.
Here's a short update, though, just because I feel bad: -- Body bags. There were too many of them. Some of the bodies had been claimed, but for the most part, they would just be known as a part of the ‘Hog’s Head Massacre’. Some of the sacks were quite short, even. Children. This is why the gravedigger sung.
“Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all…And he continued on humming, like he didn’t know the rest of the words. Really, there was nothing left to do. Especially for dead children, there was very little left to do. The parents would sob and cry when all one could do was sing

I guess I think Italy needs a bit of love. I guess I might have a bit of an alternative character interpretation here.

“Difibrilo,” said Italy, tapping his wand (hawthorn, 22 cm, salamander bone, springy) to Germany’s chest. This wouldn’t resurrect him, it wouldn’t even turn him into an inferius, but this did force certain mechanical biological processes to happen. What the spell was meant to fix was cardiac arrest, and it certainly did. Soon after, on the table, Germany’s skin began to turn blue

They sat in a nearly empty muggle coffee shop but reading a wizard newspaper. This seemed safest for them, even though for the past month they had not been able to find any Snatchers to ambush and scalp. This was disappointing. Either the Snatchers had wisened up and started avoiding the “Mudbloods,” or they had wisened up and stopped snatching all together. England took a sip of tea and turned to the back of the Daily Prophet, looking at the “wanted” section. Undesirables one through eleven were still there, but nearly everyone’s prices had doubled since the last time he had checked

America sipped his coffee and tore their copy of The Daily Prophet, trying to tear out the article of the ‘massacre’ at the Hog’s Head. The headline said that there had been 43 fatalities, and that was enough to earn the title of massacre.
The picture of a minister on the other side of the page locked into a silent scream as its face was torn in half.
“What are you doing?” England hissed.
“Taking the article,” said America.
“Don’t do that! It’s suspicious.”
“Why?”
“It’s like - it’s a trophy. We don’t take trophies.”
“Isn’t that exactly what the scalping is about?”
“SHHHHH!” hissed Japan.
“We leave the scalps there,” whispered England harshly, “Now leave it. That looks suspicious enough
