Hello everyone! Yay! My first story!!! Tell me if I screw this up please. No pairings, T for violence, blah, blah, blah. -–does happy dance--

"Fullmetal, you've got a mission."

Ed glared at his superior. For no reason in particular. "Get on with it," he huffed.

Mustang unrolled a sheet of paper. "You will be going to a place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Be warned we don't know the exact location, but the Headmaster advises that you don't reveal your home country. So if anyone asks, you're from Germany."

Ed rolled his eyes. "And why am I doing this?" "To protect someone called Harry Potter." "Weird name," was all Ed said. Now it was Roy's turn to roll his eyes. "You're leaving tomorrow, Chibi." A vein popped in Ed's forehead. "WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' A PIPSQUEAK WHO'S SO TINY YOU NEED A MICROSCOPE TO SEE HIM?" He raged. Mustang laughed.

"Get packing, Fullmetal. You'll be there all year. Oh, and you can take along your brother too. Come back here tomorrow at noon, there will be someone waiting to transport you."

Ed walked to his hotel room, thinking. Suddenly it hit him; Mustang had said "Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Oo-kay then. Random much?

Ah well, he probably heard wrong. He opened his door. "Al, we're leaving tomorrow."

The huge suit of armor looked up from the table. "Why, Nii-san?" "We have an assignment," Ed replied. "We have to go to some school and protect some boy named Harry Potter." Al nodded.

"Okay. I'll pack stuff for you. Why don't you go eat some dinner?" Ed pondered that, then answered, much to his brothers surprise, "Nah, I'm too tired." And with that, he jumped (literally jumped) on the couch.

THE NEXT DAY……..

The next day (after Ed had eaten a huge breakfast) the brothers' headed to Mustangs office. "We're here!" Ed said, barging into the room.

There was an elderly man sitting there across from Mustang. "Why hello, you must be Edward. We will be leaving now, if you're ready."

Ed nodded and the man stood up.

"Oh, excuse me, I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts." He held out an arm. "Please take my arm; hold it tightly." Ed stuck out his tongue but did it anyway. Al did the same.

Then, the room was gone. Ed felt like he was in a box, being pushed in on all sides. Then, when he thought he would run out of breath, it stopped. They were in a completely different room.

Ed gasped greedily at the cool air around him, then looked at Al. But… Al wasn't there. In his place was a brown haired boy, looking around with puzzled hazel eyes.

Ed stared for a moment, then whispered, "Al?" the boy looked at him. "Nii-san?" Ed glomped his little brother. "AL! YOU'RE BACK!" Al looked himself over. He was wearing a black shirt similar to Ed's, only button down, black dress-like pants, black shoes (not elevator shoes) and a red jacket like Ed's.

"What… where… What… how… huh?" Ed stuttered. "Nii-san…" Al said slowly. "I think when we did… whatever we just did… I think that's how I got my body back!" Ed nodded, and suddenly realized Dumbledore was watching the whole thing.

Ed chose to ignore him and turned back to Al. "Maybe, without us noticing we passed through the Gate. We just moved really fast." Al nodded in agreement. "Although I still didn't see that thing you've talked about, the Truth." Ed laughed softly. "Good. But Al, you look your age! I thought that when you got your body back, you'd be 10 again. But you look 12!"

Then he turned back to Dumbledore. "Where are we?" Dumbledore smiled. "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And it is indeed, as you would put it, on the other side of the Gate."

Yay! It's up! --does another happy dance--
