The Price of the Truth
Prologue: A Cry in the Night
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist in any of their incarnations.
Pinako Rockbell was not a woman given to flights of fancy, she'd left that behind along with her wanderlust when her son was born and hadn't regretted it since. However, there was a familiar warning prickle crawling down her spine, the same prickle that had preceded Alphonse Elric, now just a suit of armour, pounding on her door in the middle of the night with his bloodied and broken brother in his arms. She wasn't about to ignore such a warning twice.
She took a lantern with her and made the familiar trek over the hill to the charred skeletal remnants of the Elric house. For she had no doubt it was here the feeling stemmed from, this monument to grief and tragedy, and she was proven right when a horrified agonized screaming split the night.
AN: Done for .3's the friends of magic and alchemy challenge on HPFC. My first attempt at writing FMA so let me guys know what you think, especially of characterizations! This draws on elements from both the 2003 anime series and Brotherhood, as well as the movie Conqueror of Shamballa (for those of you who want to avoid spoilers). Also, not to fret, chapters will get longer.
