A young girl, about fifteen, with black blonde hair walked down the Elric Family's small drive way towards the mailbox with the intention of finding at least one letter for herself. She quickly opened the small box and pulled out its contents, shuffling through the small stack as she walked up the drive once more. As she reached the door her eye's lit up. There was one letter addressed to her in Emerald green ink with a strange seal on the opening.

Ms. A Elric

The second largest bedroom

8 Bluebird lane

Risembool

Amestris

She rushed into the small kitchen of the Elric home to find her mother sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in one hand and the newspaper in the other, almost falling asleep in his chair. She carefully snuck behind him and poked him, hard, on his pressure point. He yelped and spun around in his seat to find his only daughter suppressing a fit of giggles and holding the mail out for him. Annoyed as he was, he was a little grateful to her for waking him up. He lightly tapped her on the head and took the outstretched stack of letters and bills from the pale hand and began looking through them as he would every morning.

The young bi-color haired girl spoke up once he had set everything down on the table, "Hey Mom, guess what…? I got a letter! See, but this seal is really weird: it's got a snake, a lion, a badger, and a raven. Do you know where it's…Mom…?" She trailed off as she saw her mother's eye's had widened to those that rivaled dinner platters. She tried many methods to take the slightly taller blonde out of his stupor but nothing worked. He finally came out of his trance when he heard someone call out with his much worn out name,

"Oy Chibi, wake up." The green haired Homunculus hit his lover upside the head. He stuttered for a few seconds then started to look annoyed.

"Hey Envy, do you think we should let Aristae go to Hogwarts…?" The blonde questioned his husband with sparks of anger rising in his voice. The sins eyes grew wide and he immediately grabbed the letter out of Aristae's hands. She looked indignant at first but her expression became that of confusion when her parents had begun whispering rapidly. They finally stopped and looked over at their daughter in defeat.

"Okay Squeak," Envy referred to his daughters well worn out nick name, much to her disdain. "Read that letter and then we'll explain the rest." He threw the letter towards her and with expert precision, caught and opened it in one swift movement.

"…The hell?!?!" She looked up to see her parents faces twisted in amusement at her reaction. They were both seated in kitchen chairs while Aristae was still standing and gaping like a goldfish, much to her parent's entertainment.

"Like your dad said, we'll explain. Aristae, you're a witch." His explanation was blunt and steady, like this was normal. Aristae looked at him like he was a lunatic she would've burst lest she opened her mouth,

"What. The. Hell. This has to be some kind joke right? I mean for alchemy's sake, I'm an alchemist. A fucking state alchemist for cryin out loud! How can you tell me I'm a witch when I devoted half of my life to alchemy?!?!" She looked on the verge of hysterics while her parents, getting over their amusement, looked half annoyed and half frustrated. The one that was called chibi had his head resting on his fist while Envy had his arms crossed and seemed deep in thought.

"That's the problem," 'Chibi' spoke in an aggravated tone, "We weren't going to tell you. We thought that they wouldn't find us and that you wouldn't be involved in all of the idiocy of magic."

"Well I want to go." The looks of shock on her parent's faces were a mystery to her. "I think this would be a good chance to help the Military. So please, can I go…?" She used her trademark puppy eyes that she knew her mother couldn't resist. He looked annoyed but gave in,

"Cheater…Fine you can go. We'll take you to get all your supplies and crap tomorrow." He turned around not noticing his daughter's silent happy dance. 'Bill, Bill, Letter from Al and Winry, Bill, Bill, Letter from Hogwarts'- His eye's were once again something that rivaled platters, he cursed loudly and called his husband and daughter back into the room for they had drifted away. He carefully opened his letter and read it quickly before his family came into the kitchen once more with confused looks on their faces. "Looks like we're all goin' to Hogwarts: Dumbledore wants me to teach alchemy and apparently I can't refuse."

"Oh, this should be fun huh Chibi…?" Envy smile was a bit sadistic as he said this and there was a hint of mischief in his deep purple eyes.

"Envy we're not students anymore, so no playing pranks on anybody. Especially Severus." His tone was reprimanding, as if scolding a child for doing wrong. Envy feigned mock innocence as he said,

"Oh Chibi, I would never think of hurting ol' Snivelus. What ever gave you that idea…?" The older blonde just glared at Envy out of the corner of his eye while the green haired sin held his hands up in mock confusion.

"Dad, who's Severus…? Was he a friend of yours…?" The blonde and Homunculus started, they had momentarily forgotten their daughter was in the room. The sin turned towards his daughter with a slight smirk on his face.

"You could say that…I don't think it would be good to mention that in front of him though." He laughed slightly but was quickly cut off by a sharp jab at his stomach. The older blonde looked at him with a piercing gaze before turning back to his daughter.

"Severus Snape is the potions master at Hogwarts. You'd be wise not to cross him; he is rather annoyed easily and picks favorites, those are basically all the Slytherins, no matter how bad their potions turn out. Then he usually ends up picking on students that are outside his house, especially Gryffindors." At this Envy looked at him confused. "I sometimes borrow the Daily Prophet from Al, it's actually very convenient." At the mention of her Uncle, Aristae perked her ears a bit more. She too turned a confused look on her mother. "Yes, your Uncle Alphonse is a wizard and so is your cousin. Now since it's still early we all need to take a shower and get on a train to Central, we need to tell Mustang about this. Aristae go first, now," She quickly left to the bathroom on the second floor of their country house. "Envy, go find Mai and send her with a letter to McGonagall about Aristae going to school and my acceptance about the job. Now, I need to go and phone Mustang." With that he got up from his chair and sped off towards the den with the rest of the mail and a very confused Envy.

---About an Hour later---

The three Elrics were now on a train on their way to central to meet Mustang. This was something that aggravated Chibi to no end. He couldn't exactly understand why he was able to talk to Mustang on the phone and arrange a meeting but not just arrange the military leave for him and Aristae right then! 'He's an idotic pyromaniac Fuhrer who can't stand to let his precious flirting time be filled with work!' Chibi thought irritated. His mind began to race with way's to torture his superior officer but gradually slowed to the calming pace it did when he was on trains.

Seeing her mother had fallen asleep she decided to question her father about Hogwarts, "Dad, what's Hogwarts like? Is it huge? Is it creepy?"

"Yes it's huge but probably not creepy to someone like you. As for what it's like well, it's very interesting if you've never experienced magic before. But one thing you have to watch out for is the food during the start of term feast; the food literally pops out of thin air, I never learned where it actually came from but I think Chibi did." Aristae looked t him kinda funny but just kept coming with the questions.

"Mom mentioned something called Slytherin and Gryffindor earlier, what are they? And what did he mean by houses…?" The fifteen year olds eyes were alight with curiosity, like that of a small child's. Envy then went on to explain the houses and how they worked and how they came to be, but this author is too lazy to write any of that conversation so you'll just have to think something up in your minds (1).

"…and that's basically it. Don't worry; we'll make sure to get you a copy of Hogwarts: A history. That's got all the information in it." Envy looked thoroughly annoyed at having to talk so much in such a short amount of time, but since Chibi hadn't woken up yet he had no choice. Aristae's eyes were wide and glassy by the time he had finished the explanation and her mind was already working in overdrive trying to find some kind of logic.

"Okay, that's royally messed up. How did you and Mom take it when you found out?" Her question was too innocent, and Envy could tell. One of the many things she had inherited from the green haired Homunculus, and he loved it.

"Well, I guess you could say that he took it rather oddly…he basically didn't believe any of it until we actually got to the castle and started our classes. It was pretty funny watching him rant in his sleep about how stupid that school was." Envy's mouth was contorted into an evil smirk, much to Aristae's confusion. She looked over to her slowly waking mother. He was fully awake by the time the train came to a complete stop. Once it had stopped he stood and stretched along with his daughter then followed Envy off the train and into Central station. Looking around for a bit he finally dawned a look of completion and loathing. Standing right at the middle of the train station was none other than Fuhrer Mustang and Lieutenant Havoc. Both dressed in civilian clothes of course.

Havoc was looking around quickly while Mustang looked generally bored out of his skull. Almost at once Havoc spotted the three Elrics, quickly made eye contact with Chibi, and after a brief nod of his head Havoc nudged Mustang and pointed in there direction. Mustang's eyes had not changed as he started to walk and meet the small family where they were basically rooted to the spot next to one of the beams that extended to the ceiling.

As soon as he was in hearing distance mustang had called out, "Ah, Edward, and you brought Aristae and Envy, how lovely." His face was contorted into a fake smile while Havoc actually looked pleased to see the family.

"Hey chief, haven't seen you for a while. How've you been holdin up just sittin around that old house?" His tone was friendly and if nothing, somewhat happy that Mustang hadn't called him short yet.

"I've been okay, been busy with this one considering how much she whines about almost everything." He joked, much to his daughter's annoyance.

"Mom, I do not whine!" Aristae all but hissed. Her green streaked blonde hair flowed out behind her in a quick and messy pony tail; it seemed like it was almost flicking in annoyance.

"Sure, sure; anyway let's get to HQ, I think we're starting to get some stares." Edward stated. They agreed and quickly made their way to a small car that, surprisingly enough fit all five people. Then again, these cars could fit Al's old armor, Edward, and Winry in the backseat alone. As it normally is, the car ride went by rather fast and silently. Getting out of the car and into Mustang's office was easy. Actually discussing the topic at hand was not.

"So Fullmetal, why have you and Emerald come to central to talk to me?" Roy spoke in his usual smirking tone. The blonde alchemist looked rather annoyed at the dark haired man while his daughter and husbands faces were unreadable masks.

"You know damned good and well what we came to talk to you about Mustang. Just read the letters, I don't need the headache." The blonde threw the two heavy parchment letters onto the Fuhrers desk and waited patiently for the raven haired man to finish reading them.

He set the offensive papers onto his desk and ran a hand through his messy raven hair. Letting out a sigh he looked back up at the trio and took on a look of annoyance and superiority. "Dumbledore needs our help again does he? Ugh, if he does this one more time I swear I'll…" He didn't get a chance to finish. His intercom rang through the tense atmosphere of the office.

"Fuhrer Mustang, there are two men who would like to see you. Should I send them in? They say it's important." The smooth voice of Lieutenant Hawkeye floated around in the silenced air. A few moments and a reluctant nod later, Mustang pressed the button on his small intercom.

"Yes, send them in now Lieutenant." His finger lifted from the white button and the doors opened. The two men who walked inside could only be described as crazy and fashionably challenged…in this area of the globe. The taller of the two had a long shining white beard that tucked into his belt; he wore purple robes and half-moon spectacles rested on the tip of his nose. The slightly shorter of the two, who looked somewhat more normal than the other, had shoulder length scraggly black hair and wore a tattered brown overcoat with black slacks and a dark shirt.

"Padfoot…? Is that you?" The scraggly haired man turned around to face the blonde man behind him. His eyes lit up in recognition and then, just as fast, went on the defensive as he spotted Envy right beside his golden-eyed friend.

"Metal, what are you doing with Palm tree…?" He asked warily. He stepped back a few paces when he saw Envy smirk and a tick-mark appear. Edward held the green haired Homunculus by the hand, restraining him while trying to feign a smile. He opened his mouth sheepishly but was cut off by the annoyingly innocent voice a certain raven-haired man who would soon rue the day he ever opened his mouth.

"Why, didn't Fullmetal tell you…? As of next month these two will have been marriedfor just about sixteen years! Isn't it lovely?" Mustang's snickers rang through the awkward silence like gunfire before sunrise. The shocked look on Padfoot's face was priceless in Mustangs eyes.

"Metal…why didn't you tell us…?" His question just hung there in midair.

"Well…Remus knew a-and I think Lily did too. Hell I think McGonagall and even Dumbledore knew! Anyway, Aristae, this is your Uncle Sirius. Padfoot, this is our daughter, Aristae Mai Elric." Sirius looked shocked but most importantly confused his mouth opened and closed like an idiot's until finally the old man with the white beard finally spoke after his long silence.

"Well, I must say this is a very tremendous outcome from the only student I've ever had who hates magic." His kind blue eyes held amusement in them, along with an all knowing sparkle.

"Professor we don't exactly know how it happened. We don't even know it was magic or alchemy." Edward's voice was a little strained. "Anyway, what are you two doing here?"

"Ah, that ,my good friend, is a good question. Why am I here...?" Dumbledore looked inquisitively at the doorway just as Mustang's intercom went off.

"Furher Mustang, there is a Woman here, she say's that she came here with the other two men, shall I send her in..?" Drawld the normally tight lipped Lieutenant. Dumbledore sent a silent message to Sirius with a flick of his eyes and instantly he, Sirius, nodded and transformed into a larg black dog with shaggy hair and dark eyes.

"Yes, Hawkeye, send her in." Hs finger lingered on the button for no longer than a moment before a stout woman who looked like a toad. She wore pink robes and a blck velvet bow sat atop her mousy brown locks. And her voice sounded like a rubber duck.

"Hello dears, my name is Dolores Jane Umbridge and i am here on behalf ofthe ministry of magic." Everyone in the room besides Envy and Dumbedore cringed away from the sickly sweet soprano voice.

"Dumbledore please tell me SHE'S not the new DADA Professor you wrote about in your letter." Was Edward's hopefull plea.

"Yes, I am the new Defence against the dark arts teacher at Hogwarts, young lady." Surprising both Aristae and Envy, edward didn't blow up on Umbridge." And who might you be?"

"I am Evelin Elric, the new Alchemy professor at Hogwarts. This is my husband Envy and our daughter Aristae. She will be atending Hogwarts for her fifth year." Edward lied smoothly. The two mentioned in the introduction looked shocked at what the older blonde had just said. Edward Elric, the Fullmetal alchemist ad Hero of the people, was pretending to be...FEMALE?!?!?!

"Alchemy...? Dumbledore did not inform the Minister that there would be a new subject at Hogwarts." She said haugtily. She had rounded on Dumbleore then. Her eyes tiny slits and her mouth thin and tight.

"I was going to inform the Minister only if Mrs. elric excepted the position. If she didn't then I would not have had the subject taught." Dumbedore's fake kindeness towards Umbridge seemed to work because she deflated some and turned back towards Mustang.

"On behalf of the Minister of magic, all new staff must have a full backround check. This go's for new students also."
