The Truth of Alchemy and Magic Chapter 1: Human Transmutation
Young Harry James Potter was a scrawny boy (of no fault of his own) with wild and often untamable black hair. His eyes were a deep green color that
seemed to glow as if it was radiating power but they also held somewhat of a broken and pained look in them. This is because of the fact that for the
past nine years of his life, as he was nearing ten now, he has been abused by his relative who he was placed with after his parents had died in a car
crash, though he never believed that. He never believed it because of the sole fact that he kept having dreams of a green light, a snake-faced man,
and a red haired woman who kept yelling "Not Harry, take me not him!" while the snake-faced man kept telling her to stand aside. Harry has grown up
with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and Cousin Dudley ever since that day and has been living in the staircase cupboard as well. They made him do all
of the chores, which involved cleaning, cooking, gardening, and even the laundry. They also starved him nearly every day giving him only scraps to eat
which led to his malnourished figure. Dudley also liked to play a game called 'Harry Hunting' which entailed Harry running away while Dudley and his
friends chased after him. That wasn't the worst part though, if Harry was caught they would beat him bloody which was actually the one thing that his
Uncle and Aunt didn't do to them. No what they did was worse than actual physical abuse, they isolated him, ignored him as if he didn't exist. To Harry
that's what hurt the most, worse than Dudley beating on him as it made him feel extremely unloved as he had no friends because Dudley always
scared them away.
Today was another day of 'Harry Hunting' as Harry was running away from Dudley and his gang. Last time this had happened he somehow had
appeared on the roof of the school, though he wasn't stupid enough to think that a gust of wind had caught him and pushed him up there(1), he
wasn't that skinny and plus this was England, they really didn't have strong enough winds for that to happen. He had been contemplating what had
happened since that day but a shout from Dudley distracted him from his thoughts. He saw the library coming up and made a split second decision that
changed his life: he decided to run into the library. When he ran into the library he hid in a spot behind a plant to see if Dudley ran past the library. To
Harry's lack of surprise Dudley did actually run past the library, this wasn't a shock to him as he knew that Dudley avoided the library like a plague.
"Little one what are you doing here?" A voice behind Harry said, shocking him and making him jump up and turn around. It was a lady who had blonde
hair that had streaks of gray that was covered by a bandanna also the hair was tied into a ponytail, she also had blue eyes that seemed to radiate
kindness, and all together seemed to be in her mid forties. "I-I-I'm running from my cousin." Harry said, afraid of the lady kicking him out of the library.
The woman could sense that there was more to the story and if she asked it wouldn't be a story she liked. It was there she decided that she would
take of the child while he was here so she smiled and crouched, holding out her hand. "Ah I see… would you like to read some books while you're
hiding?" She asked him in a kindly voice that managed to give Harry hope. "S-s-sure." Harry said in a stutter while tentatively taking the woman's hand.
"My name's Winry Rockbell and I'm the librarian here what's yours?" She asked, looking at him with the smile on her face. "I-I'm H-Harry P-Potter."
"Well Harry why don't you pick out a book to read." She said as they reached the comic book section, as she figured he'd like something like that. Harry
looked around and spotted something in the corner of his eye and ran to it, picking it up and ran back to Winry. "I want this one!" He said in an excited
voice. When Winry looked at the cover her eyes widened for a second in complete shock. The cover of the book had young boy with blonde hair tied
into a ponytail while wearing a red jacket and also had a suit of armor on the cover and going across the top of the book was the title Full Metal
Alchemist: All 27 Volumes. 'I-I didn't have that book before, heck I don't think that book even existed before today but how does that exist in this
world… Oh Edward' She thought with tears prickling at her eyes. Harry saw this and got nervous. "I don't have to get this book…" He said with his eyes
looking down. Winry straightened herself up and smiled at Harry. "No its okay, I just remembered a few friends of mine who died a long time ago."
Harry looked up and smiled at her, happy that he can get the book. She led him to a table that she had him sit down at. Immediately Harry started
reading the book, completely enthralled by the book and managed to read up to volume 6 by the time he had to go.
Later when Harry returned home, with the book as Winry let him have the book stating that it wasn't part of the library and that someone must have
left it there. His Uncle and Aunt didn't question him at all, not even deeming him worthy of a glance but it didn't hurt as much as it usual did because
Harry wanted to try out some of the things in the book so he headed to the basement. When Harry made it to the basement he managed to find
something to draw with. So with it he drew a large circle then drew another circle within it. Next he drew a square that encompassed all of the inner
circle but the four outer sides followed by a diamond in the center of the square to where each point touched at least one side. "I hope this works."
Harry muttered as he clapped his hands together and slammed them down on the transmutation circle. Suddenly sparks started jumping from the circle
as the room flashed and a figure started coming out from the center of the diamond. When the figure stopped forming Harry took a closer look at it and
saw that it was a stone bird that was made out of the stone on the basement floor. If it was under any other circumstances Harry would have panicked
but he knew that his relatives never went into the basement as his Aunt Petunia preferred laundry done the old fashioned way so she could spy on her
neighbors, even if it wasn't her doing the laundry. So instead Harry smiled his first genuine smile in a long time and whooped quietly for fear of his
relatives hearing. He then started to experiment with his newly found alchemy and started making various things which ranged from a lance, like what
Edward made for his State Alchemist test in Chapter 25, to something as simple as a bucket. Harry wondered who he could show this talent to and
there decided to show it to the friendly librarian he met today. He experimented until it was time for him to make dinner for the Dursleys which again he
didn't get much to eat. Soon after he slowly headed to his cupboard where he drifted off to sleep, dreaming of Edward Elric's Adventures.
A year passed by as Harry read the stories of Edward Elric. He had shown Winry what he made and his alchemical abilities which had seemed to shock
her though he didn't know why they did. After he finished reading the book he decided to start on chemistry to learn the chemical makeup of
everything. This actually caused Harry's grades in school to skyrocket big time as he read everything he could on science as well as mathematics and
English so he could understand everything. Harry had a reason for this as he had a plan that he wanted to enact. He didn't tell Winry as he knew she
would probably be against it. Speaking of Winry, Harry and her had grown extremely close in the past year and Harry thought of her as his adoptive
mother, although he hadn't told her that he thought like that as he was afraid of her rejecting him. He was almost ready for his plan to take place as
he had just today went to the apothecary with money that he had gathered together from the allowance that Winry gave him for helping around in the
library. He had bought the elements and chemicals that he needed for what he was planning. He then went to the library to look up a few last things
before finally heading home although before he left he turned to Winry. "I might not see you anymore Winry… I just want you to know I thought of you
as my mother." He said before running off. It took a few seconds but Winry's brain finally realized what Harry was saying and rushed to where he was
studying to see what he was looking at and gasped at what she saw. All across the table were several chemistry books and anatomy books and one
chemistry book stood out as it was opened to a page that made Winry pale extremely fast. The book was a chemistry book that listed the chemical
composition of various things and across the page it read 'The Chemical Composition of the Human Body' "No, no, no, NO! Please don't tell me you're
going to attempt that Harry!" She said in a panicked voice. She then ran to the back room and opened up a hidden trap door. She climbed down the
ladder and arrived in what looked like a workshop that had metal all over the place along with several metal like prosthetic arms that Harry would
probably know as 'automail'. She grabbed a bag and put two of the metal prosthetic arms and two of the metal prosthetic legs in the bag and grabbed
a gun along with her trusty wrench that look worn but was still very usable even after all these years. From there she climbed back out of the trap door
and started running after Harry while hoping that she wasn't too late.
Harry arrived at Privet Drive and walked into the house and immediately went to the basement. Harry started taking out the materials but cursed when
he realized he forgot to buy chalk. He then picked up a knife that he had transmuted a few days ago and looked to his hand before slicing open his
palm. He then started drawing a transmutation circle with his own blood except this one seemed to be more complex and much, much larger than the
past ones that he drew. After he finished drawing it he bandaged his hand and started placing the materials around the circle, saying their names as
he set them. "Water, 35 liters, Carbon, 20 kilograms, Ammonia, 4 liters, Lime, 1.5 kilograms, Phosphorous, 800 grams, Salt, 250 grams, Saltpeter, 100
grams, Sulfur, 80 grams, Fluorine, 7.5 grams, Iron, 5 grams, Silicon, 3 grams, and trace amounts of 15 other elements." He then kneeled onto the
ground and took a deep breath before clapping his hands together and slamming them down onto the circle. The circle started to glow with each of the
elements glowing as well but this is where it started to go wrong as he looked up and saw Dudley falling down the stairs and tumbling into the center
of the circle. That wasn't all unfortunately as his parents came running after him into the circle and it was too late as they were absorbed as a sacrifice
for the circle, all of them screaming. Harry's last thought as he blacked out was 'Mother I'll be with you soon.'
While this was happening Winry had finally reached Harry's house and started knocking on the door but nobody was answering. She then tried the
door and found that it was unlocked and rushed in the house and checked all over the house but couldn't find anybody. She then headed into the
kitchen and saw the stairs leading to the basement which gave her a feeling of trepidation. She then slowly walked down the stairs with her gun out
ready to shoot what she knew would be there. When she reached the basement she gasped at what she saw. She saw the forbidden Human
Transmutation Circle that she knew her deceased husband Edward had used a long, long time ago. What shocked her even more was that there was
an unconscious Harry off to the side and in the center of the circle was not what she was expecting… what was in the center of the circle was what
looked to be a ghost of a red haired woman with the same green eyes that Harry had. "W-who are you?" Winry asked a bit scared. The ghost turned
to her and smiled at her. "I'm Lily Potter nee Evans but you might know me as Harry's mother." The ghost said, shocking Winry. "You're his mother? I
thought you died in a car crash?" The ghost, now Lily chuckled and shook her head. "Yes I'm his mother and yes I'm dead but I did not die in a car
crash. Instead I was killed by an evil wizard who was after Harry when he was a baby and before you say anything yes magic is real, as my son's
ability to do alchemy is proof of that." Winry was completely in disarray after that as it shook the foundations that her beliefs where set on. "I don't
have much time because when my son comes to I must go. When Harry turns eleven next week he will receive a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, a
school of Witchcraft and Wizardry you must take him to Diagon Alley which is accessed by the Leaky Cauldron on Charring Cross Road. From there you
must head to Gringotts and ask for an inheritance test for as Harry will not have his bank key. From there I advise you to ask the Goblins for access to
Potter Manor and state that you are his current Magical and Spiritual Guardian." It was there that Winry was confused as she was completely sure that
she did not have magic and it seemed Lily had noticed this. "Yes you have magic, although your magic is completely Alchemical as you were born in a
world that had only Alchemical magic. Anyways if all goes as it should you will receive the Head of the Potter Family ring along with the Ravenclaw and
Slytherin ring. You will there on become Duchess Winry Rockbell Potter Ravenclaw Slytherin as you will be basically by all accounts Harry's real mother.
From there I entrust you to take care of my son as if he was your own. This may be a bit scary to you but I trust you as Truth seems to trust you fully.
It's time for me to go." She said as she began to fade as Harry started coming to. "Wait what was it that you said about Truth?!" Winry yelled but to no
avail as she had completely faded away.
When Winry was talking to Lily, Harry had woken up in a vast empty white space that had only what seemed to be one thing and that was a giant gate
that looked like the Gate from the Fullmetal Alchemist books. "You are correct there young one." A voice said behind him as he turned and saw a small
boy that looked exactly like him. "A-Are you Truth?" Harry asked nervously as he knew this was true. "Why ask that if you know that it's true." Truth
said with a smile. "Because I don't want it to be because I know what you will ask for." At this Truth frowned and motioned Harry to come forward and
sit with him. "Little Harry do not fret although it is true I usually take a toll from whoever enters the Realm of Truth it is not true for you." Harry was
now completely confused. "Why? What makes me so special that I do not have to pay the price, I have sinned just like everyone else, and I even killed
my own relatives!" Harry said, his voice elevating until he basically was yelling. Truth put his hands on Harry's shoulders and shook his head. "That was
not your fault and although it may seem to be wrong for me of all people to say it, they had deserved that and I was going to collect their souls either
way for harming what is mine." Harry was shocked when Truth called Harry 'his'. "Why am I yours?" Harry said quietly, not sure if he wanted the
answer. "You are mine because one day you will become my Master… one day you shall inherit everything I own and take my place but unlike me you
shall be able to roam Earth. The only time you'd need to come here is if someone else commits Human Transmutation." Truth confessed, making Harry's
eyes widen. "I'm to be your master? Your heir? But why am I to become your heir?" Truth smiled and laughed. "It's actually simple Harry, despite all you
have faced you still have your compassion, despite all that they have done to you, you still cared for your relatives, and despite what you knew was
going to happen you willingly sacrificed yourself just for the chance that your own mother would be able to come back. You are everything that a God
should be, kind, loving, and selfless, and that is why I chose you as my heir." Truth stood up and turned to the Gate. "It is time for us to part for now….
My first gift and burden that I pass on to you is the contents of the gate, the knowledge of the entire world, the universe, and Alchemical knowledge."
He said as he opened the Gate with a wave of his hand. "But I thought no human could survive all that knowledge." Harry said in a panicked voice.
"Ahh but you have the one thing the Gate lacks any knowledge of, Magic." Truth said as the tendrils reached out and grabbed Harry and pulled him into
the Gate. Harry didn't have any time to comprehend what Truth said about him having magic as his mind was bombarded with knowledge of every
language that ever existed, knowledge of mathematics, knowledge of the sciences, knowledge of religion, knowledge of everything but magic. Soon as
the barrage of information died down Harry blacked out, falling unconscious.
That's it for chapter one I hope you guys enjoyed it, I managed 3.3k words for this but the next one should be much longer as it's going to be
Harry and Winry going to Diagon Alley... One thing I know is that knowing this Harry when he gets to Hogwarts and has his first Potions class
he's going to practically blow away Snape with his knowledge... Now I won't be bashing in this story per say mostly because I don't like to really
bash characters unless its Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto... that smug bastard. Vote for what pairing you think Harry should have! I'm partial to
Harry and a more mature person (not Snape) mostly because he's going to need someone to be mature with him with what knowledge he's going
to have... anyways Read and Review please!
