I think I was on crack writing this… Don't ask me what it is. I think half of it came from a weird dream I had a few nights back. Just a random scene that seemed to unfold it's self one night alone at home. Have fun!~

"But, E's mine Bruder Harry… I have du go"

"Not a chance! You still can't even stand on your own after that last show of stupidity! Don't you dare think we are letting you out that door!" Sirius snapped back still holding back a struggling Ed as the persistent knocking at the door grew ever louder.

"Vat? Zo I am prisoner again?"

"You were never a prisoner here Edward! I am sorry that we have made you think that" interrupted Mrs Weasley her tone hushed.

"Being held 'ere against my vill makes me prisoner by any dictionary!"

But just as Harry was about to retort the doors to Number 12 Grimmauld place were blown open.

Flashes of leftover blue electricity danced about the hall in wake of the large spell that had just uprooted the doorway to their hideaway, but what riled Ed the most was that the blue flashes were leftovers to not a spell but an alchemical reaction and from what he has observed so far only he could perform such a feat in this world. He snapped his head towards the door awaiting the emerging threat. Standing in the wake of the debris was Alphonse. Looking both confused and annoyed as to why the hell no one had let him in. Quick eyes swiftly taking in the situation the look of annoyance quickly faded into one of disbelief as his eyes landed on Ed. Harry observed with slight shock how Ed's look melted into one of pure disbelieve and his usually guarded eyes now betrayed uncertainty, something which Harry had rarely seen upon his mysterious friend. The silence seemed to stretch on endlessly as the two just stared at each other. It must have only been a minute or so, but it seemed like hours. Then, all eyes on him, Alphonse started slowly shuffling his way across the foyer towards Ed, that same look of utter disbelief playing on his features. However, he stopped about halfway stuttering something in a foreign language. The same tongue Harry had heard Ed use time and time again.

"Nii-san…Is it really you?... Are you really him?"

A snort "What? After all we've been through you really think you can get rid of me that easily? Hmpf. No way I'm gonna leave you alone"

After a further moment of silent staring there was action as Alphonse launched himself at a still half shell shocked Ed and as a result both ended up on the floor.

"You have no idea how long I have been searching you idiot! I thought you were dead. We all did! I knew you were alive! You idiot. You big idiot!" tears now dribbling down his smiling face.

"Yeah, nice to see you again too…Al…" Returning the tight and slightly desperate embrace as if either would disappear a moment later"

They laughed, long and hard, Alphonse still pinning Ed to the floor. It was a wonderful moment for all in the hallway. No one in all of the weeks Ed had been at Grimmauld Place had ever heard Ed laugh like that. It was a welcome sound to the Black household and the rest of the house couldn't help but smile along with them as the rest of the evening was spent in the presence of two matching cheeky grins.
