TibMongol Hogwarts AU

Mongolia: 

He got a letter way out in the Gobi desert, trying to smack a goat away from eating his shirt when BOOM an owl flew into his face, making him scream for about 20 minutes in terror. He eventually got everything in order and flew out to Hogwarts, but not before he gave that damn owl the finger and threw it as far as he could chuck it (he still hates that owl btw). He arrived at the train station after getting some locals to help him, and after seeing some kids ram themselves into a pillar he shrugged “sure why not” and did the same. After a nauseating train trip (stupid moving vehicles I’d take a horse any day over this pile of death-by-crashing-waiting-to-happen), he got shoved into the main hall and sat down, alone, away from all those crazy people speaking English like it was the one true language, and then started to think that MAYBE this wasn’t such a good idea. It didn’t help that some weird bald kid kept staring at him like he was the reincarnation of Buhdda himself. His name was called anyway, and the conversation with the Sorting Hat went like this:

Sorting Hat: “Hm, hardworking, loyal, patient, all the signs of an excellent Hufflepuff-”

Mongolia: “Mr. Hat, if you put me in Hufflepuff with those weak dweebs I swear by the holy Buddha’s left pinky toe that I will tear your seams out, set them on fire, and laugh as your pitiful magical life is ended while you scream with the pain of a thousand knives stabbing into your pathetic existence.”

Sorting Hat: “SLYTHERIN IT IS!”

As soon as that matter was settled, he got put into a dorm close to a couple of other Slytherins, like Kazakhstan (best nomadic buds at first sight), North Korea (hella creepy but hey at least he cleans after himself), Oman (no idea who he is or what he’s saying but meh), and Greenland (super emo but hey he makes some pretty good points). 

He first meets Tibet when during Care of Magical Creatures and he totally flipped out after seeing a FUCKING UNICORN (it wasn’t a unicorn, it was a horse with a carrot tied onto it to make it look like a unicorn), and Tibet laughed at him just losing his mind as he goes on his knees and stare in wonder at this amazing “unicorn.” Several death threats later (you tell anyone about this I’ll DESTROY you), they started talking about magical animals and became partners in the class. One thing led to another and soon Tibet and Mongolia were doing everything together, reading, homework, chucking snowballs at China, the usual stuff. They continued to be friends throughout the first year and swore to each other on the final day that they would also be best friends for the next (Mongolia was super embarrassed at that one but hey Tibet was adorable while asking it and NO he’s no gay shut up).  

Tibet:

Tibet got his letter while he was meditating on an EXTREMELY cold mountain (he really should’ve bought a jacket) and an owl collapsed in front of him, letter in hand. He practically skipped to Hogwarts, and when he got to the train station, India accidentally slammed into him while trying to get on the train. After 10 minutes of apologies, India declared, “You will now be my friend!” and that was that. They got to Hogwarts, sat down at the table, and then started to gossip like crazy as everyone else lost their minds at the Sorting Hat talking, with quips like “Stupid westerners know jack shit about magic pffft,” and “God that Chinese guy looks like such an asshole.” Tibet couldn’t help sneaking glances at a table in the far left corner, where an intimidating, very scary boy was scowling and glaring at Tibet whenever he caught him looking. Finally, Tibet’s name was called, and the conversation with the sorting hat went a bit like this:

Sorting Hat: “Hm, determined, resourceful, cunning, a Slytherin if I ever seen-”

Tibet: “If you put me in the same house as those terrifying bastards instead of with my friend [India], I swear by ever spirit and god above that I will summon an evil demon through intense prayer and magically give you a hat-aneurysm until your felt body falls apart like a plastic bag.”

Sorting Hat: “HUFFLEPUFF!”

He and India skipped off over to their dorms where they met Nepal (BUHDDIST FRIEND), Buhtan (another BUHDDIST FRIEND), Australia (he talks weird but whatever NEW FRIEND), and weirdly, Vietnam (she is super scary holy pajamas). 

He first “met” Mongolia during Magical Creatures, and he spent the whole class staying out of sight as the scary Mongol scowled and frustratedly declared, “What in the world does SCORPION SHIT have to do with MAGIC?!” He kept trying to get close to Mongolia to try and talk to him but every time he got near him, Mongolia would glare or mutter a curse word and he would scamper off, to the annoyance of India who basically shoved him in the Mongol’s direction after class and said, “Get you little boy-crush over with already!” So Tibet was right there when Mongolia caught sight of a��“unicorn” and lost his mind as Tibet tried to hide behind a tree while smothering his building laughter. He finally broke when Mongolia said, “A FUCKING ORANGE HORNED UNICORN!” and he fell on the floor howling in laughter as the Mongol stared in shock, redder than a tomato. After he was done laughing, he told Mongolia that that was not, in fact, a unicorn, but a horse with a carrot on its head, before bursting into laughter again.

 Numerous death threats and a life sworn promise to never EVER mention this to ANYONE later (Tibet told India as soon as he got back), the boys started talking about magic and why Mongolia like unicorns anyway (it’s a fucking unicorn why does it need an explanation?!). Tibet then made the internal promise to become friends with this weird and sometimes super funny Mongol, and spent the next few months pestering him at every possible moment until Mongolia begrudgingly accepted his friendship proposal (fine I’ll be your freaking friend now let me STUDY). At the end of the year, Tibet made Mongolia promise to be friends next year, and the Mongol finally agreed. Though that small smile stayed with Tibet even after he was off the train and far away from Hogwarts, and even farther from that scarred face boy with a bad temper and a gentle heart to match.
