Dumbledore sighed as he swiftly moved around the many people in Diagon Alley. His long blue robes swayed lightly in the wind, showing that the wearer was in a hurry. Not long ago, Dumbledore was given an invite to meet an old friend. In the invite, it gave little information on why he wanted to meet but Dumbledore realized it anyway. His old time friend knew something that would help in the war and Dumbledore would do anything to get it. The sooner the war won in his favor, the better.

Walking into a small corner café, he searched around for a hooded person sitting in a dark corner. Finding him easily, Dumbledore swiftly made his way towards the figure, his robes swaying in the wind. "Reverse, my old friend, how are you?" The hooded figure made a snort like noise and nothing could be seen excluding his grin. "Now Dumbledore, there is no need for you to be nice. I know full well that you don't like me. Now sit, I have some very useful information for you."

Dumbledore agreed. He never enjoyed Reverse. When near the man, he always felt a sense of taboo. Almost like he himself was a cursed thing. He also had an evil, dark aura around him that sent Dumbledore on edge. And to know that Reverse would never put his hood down to show his face, always made Dumbledore suspicious. Only once has Dumbledore caught him with his hood down but he quickly put it back on that he didn't get a clear view. No matter how many times he re-watched that same memory, he couldn't get a clear view.

Sitting very stiffly, Dumbledore threaded his fingers together and stared hardly at the hooded figure. The grin stayed placed on his face as he took a sip of his tea Dumbledore hadn't seen him get. Gently placing it down, Dumbledore watched the hooded mans gloved hands keenly. "Alright, I am going to tell you something I wish for you not to tell anyone else. If all goes well, this war will end faster then you think. But if you don't listen to my instructions and do something I tell you not to do, Voldemort will easily win. Have I made myself clear?"

Dumbledore sighed, wishing he too had a cup of hot tea in his hands. "I understand completely but I don't remember ever saying I will go with it. Either way, your opinion is greatly encouraged."

Reverse snorted quietly to himself, "Alright, have you ever heard of an Alchemist?"

Dumbledore thought a moment. "Of course, they are like the lost cousins to wizards and witches. It is sad it died though for the muggles. It was always complicated science though.

Reverse simply nodded before taking another sip of tea, "Well maybe it's not lost at all? Maybe we could bring it back? If we could, that would solve our problem in the war! We just need to bring it back!"

Dumbledore cut his friend off, not at all knowing where this conversation is going. "That could not happen. Alchemy was lost when we found out about magic, and muggles are to lazy to learn the science of Alchemy. It would not work. How would we get an alchemist anyhow? Like I said, they were lost."

Reverse sighed and rubbed his temples. "Forgive me Albus for thinking for a moment you would see it. Have you lost your marbles? You go back in time and bring an alchemist here. How hard is that?"

Albus raised a brow, "How is bringing an alchemist over into our time going to bring Alchemy back and win our war? Alchemy works like science. Magic is both science and not science at all. Why do you think an alchemist would help?"

Again, Reverse sighed before taking a long chug of his tea. "It was prophesized my dear friend. Prophesized by Mrs. Zabini herself and she was very detailed. She told me it was an Alchemist that goes by the name, Fullmetal. She said something about not needing a circle or other. She warned that if we force him, we would lose. We would have no choice but to bring his brother if we want him to cooperate. She also knew a way to get him over here."

Albus raised a brow. "Equivalent exchange."

Reverse grinned, his canines making Albus shudder. "Exactly. We give him what he wants and he'll give us what we want. The only real law Alchemist's follows."

Dumbledore went over the conversation in his mind, seeing no harm in doing this. Though, he realized his friend never said anything about him going or that this alchemist will destroy Voldemort himself. This leaves Dumbledore to assume Harry will still ultimately destroy him himself. And not only that, what does Reverse get out of this? He already knew the first answer though, knowing he was the only one with the power to go back into time, excluding Hermione.

"What would we give him that would get him over here?"

Reverse grin spread wider as he spread his hands palm up, "Why, the Philosopher stone! Everyone wants it."

Albus Dumbledore shook his head in defiance. He didn't have the stone and no way in all that is pure was he going to give the Philosopher stone to any alchemist. He just couldn't do it. "I'm sorry Reverse, but I don't have it, and if I did…well I wouldn't give it to him. Who knows what he would do if he got a hold of it."

Reverse sighed, losing his trademark grin for a second. "Albus, my lying friend, you would change your mind once you see the kid. He-"

"Did you just say a kid?" Albus asked, cutting the creepy man off.

"Yes, the youngest Alchemist, Fullmetal. He became a major at the age of twelve. He's a prodigy! To have him on our side would benefit us all Albus. We need this war to finally be over. I understand that Harry isn't quiet ready but you're not training him, and you know that! For all our sakes, stop babying the boy and train him!"

Albus shook his head again, rethinking his plans. This kid sounded fantastic. He sounded smart and he sounded as if he could help with the war. But with the price of the Philosopher stone…he had to think again. He knew of the stones power. It was the Elixir of Life for Merlin's sake! Who knows what this kid wants to do with it. He was obviously smart so he knew what he would do. He could easily destroy the world if he had the stone. Ok maybe he was exaggerating but the stone was powerful. If he got his hands on it, he can most likely bring the dead back to life or become immortal.

"Would there be any other thing that I might be able to give him?" Albus asked, hoping to Merlin that there may be something else. Reverse thought a moment, not knowing If he should tell his old friend about the other price. He took a chug of his tea and came to a conclusion.

"There is something else, though I don't know if he would go for it fully. I guess the only other thing he would jump for would be knowledge." Reverse stated, drinking the last of his tea.

"Knowledge?" Albus asked.

Reverse rolled his eyes in irritation but it was hidden from the old mans view. "Yes, knowledge, information, things about magic! Teach him magic. Show him how to cast magic spells. Teach him potions. Just teach him like you would a Hogwarts student."

Understanding littered the older mans white face. He could get this young man to win this war. He could do it.

"Thank you Reverse. I'll make sure to do just that."

Reverse grinned his trademark grin and got himself and his old friend some tea. The rest of the night was spent discussing on how to teach the young man and how to get him over here. The two worked out plans, how to arrange him where, and what to send him for the time being. Albus Dumbledore knew what he wanted and he knew how he was going to get it. Fullmetal Alchemist would be the first alchemist from Resembool to learn about wizarding magic.

A/N: It's a little short because it's only like a prologue for the story. How will Fullmetal feel when he finds about magic? New doors open for the poor Elric brothers!!!
