I wrote this story because I noticed Al didn't get to be the main character a lot. I update sporadically so don't expect a schedule. This will be a short prequel to my next fic which will take place in fifth year. This is my first fic and I have no beta so bear with me.
Alphonse Elric was having a great time touring the world east of Amestris, but he wished Mr. Jerso and Mr. Zampano would stop following him around. They were great company and all but they didn't have to hover like that. Slipping out from between them he entered a pub called the Leaky Cauldron and ordered some food.
After a while he noticed that the only other customer in the pub, an old man with a long beard, looked very uncomfortable. Being who he was he got up and asked him what was the matter. "Hello," said Al, "you don't look very happy is something troubling you. My name is Alphonse Elric."
Albus looked surprised that he bothered to ask and replied "Yes in fact there is something wrong. My name is Albus Dumbledore, and I am the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Al looked surprised at the mention of magic but didn't interrupt. "The Ministry of Magic would like to try adding a more scientific based class to the curriculum, but I can't find any thing. I thought about an alchemy class but the only alchemist I know refused.
"Well Mister Dumbledore it just so happens that I am a very proficient alchemist and would be happy to teach." said Al "but magic cannot be real. It defies the Laws" Albus looked at the boy curiously.
"Of course magic is real" said Albus "watch" and with a wave of his wand he transformed his cup into a gerbil.
Al stared, 'That was a nonliving into a living transformation' he thought 'that's not even possible with a Stone." He was amazed this magic stuff was extraordinary. "Well since you have given me a demonstration I shall give you one" he said and pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket, 'no reason to show all my cards yet" he mused and drew a simple circle on the table and touched it. With a flash of blue light a small horse grew out of the table. "There you go" said Alphonse "a perfect alchemical transmutation. Now I've noticed my companions are not with me so I must go find them."
"Are you traveling with muggles, perhaps?" Asked Albus. At Al's confused look he said "Nonmagic people I mean, they cannot see this place. If you show them it will be fine." Al thanked him and left. Albus thought about the strange young man with golden eyes and wondered if he was a werewolf. Deciding it was none of his business he stood up, paid for both his meals and told Tom to let him and his friends into the alley when they came back.
