Author's Note: Okay, this is my first fanfiction, so... Sorry if it sucks! Well, here's my Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover!
Disclaimer: Pretty obviously, I don't own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist. That's kind of why I'm writing a fanfiction about them.
It was a sunny morning in Germany and the Elric brothers were asleep in the apartment they shared. Edward slowly began to stir, and groggily sat up. He realized how bright it was, morning light streaming in through the window, and raised his auto-mail arm to shield his eyes.
"Stupid birds." he muttered almost incoherently, blaming the birds for his waking up we he would have gladly slept in. As he started to wake a little more, he saw that it wasn't any bird making all the noise, it was an... owl? Why was an owl sitting on their window ledge, and more importantly, staring at him and making so much racket? Ed scrambled off the bed and slumped to the window, knocking on the glass.
"Go away!" he said loudly. The persistant owl stood it's ground, and continued. Ed was irritated by now, so he unlocked the latches, and threw the window open. The large bird swooped in and landed in Ed's hair.
"Gaaah!" He frantically ran around, waving his arms. "Get off my head, you retarded bird!" Of course, this woke Al up.
"Brother?"
"ALPHONSE! Get this thing off!" Ed yelled, stopping his running and chaos, and swatting at the owl.
"Ed, hold still!" He said, climbing out of his mess of sheets and comforter.
When the bird was finally untangled and Ed calmed down, Al carefully held the bird and inspected it. His eyes came across a strange roll of paper tied to it's foot. "Hey, look!" he said, undoing the knot. He slipped it off the claw and spread it out in front of his chest, eyes swiftly moving across the paper and growing larger as he read.
"What is it?" Ed asked. Al stared at the paper, as if examining it, no longer reading, just pondering about it. Ed grew impatient and snatched it out of his brothers hands. The letter was written in intricate writing that said:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL

Ed looked for a few more seconds, before bursting out laughing.
"You're kidding right? Witchcraft... Wizardry? Like, magic! Oh man, whoever was trying to pull one over on us, did a really bad job!" He choked out between chortles. He clutched at his side and doubled over dramatically. "That's not even scientifically possible!" he wiped imaginary sweat from his brow and exhaled in the sound of a "whew."
"I don't know, Brother. It looks pretty legit to me!" Al said eagerly. Ed threw him a disaproving look.
"Al. It's ridiculous." He said simply and conclusively, as if that covered everything.
"But-" Al was cut off when Ed scoffed and said, "You can't possibly believe this. It's a hoax!"
"But why was it sent by owl?" Al asked, as if he was never interrupted. Ed thought about that for a moment, before speaking again.
"Okay, I have an idea. Let's go to the library, and see if we can find anything on this 'Hogwarts' place." Al nodded, and the two set off.
A/N: Yeah, this chapter is insanely short. I'M REALLY SORRY! In the future, you will be seeing longer chapters from me!
