Well, the rest you'll have to find out yourself.

It's a {{crossover}} and clever blending of the ''HarryPotter'' and ''AxisPowersHetalia'' universes and expands it outwards, looking at Wizarding Italy with a SceneryPorn description of Wizarding Venice and several cleverly written and guaranteed to make you love them [=OCs=].

And, in case you haven't recognised the name, this is the same author who wrote HetaOni Final Loop and HetaOni Recovery. Yes, ''that'' fic. Let that sink in for a sec and it'll give you some idea of what's in store for you.

Here's the link to it on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9659426/1/Snakeskins FFN]] and [[http://lsunnyc.tumblr.com/post/59114629055/snakeskins-pt-1-pottertalia-x-over Tumblr]], though the Tumblr is several chapters ahead of the FFN since she uploads it there first.
