I own nothing

Ed was sitting at the table drinking his morning coffee, when he heard a knock at the door. Sighing Ed stood; he had worked late and still had no leads on the stone. Going to the door he opened it to fined three people two of which were wearing dresses even though one was a man. "Can I help you" he asked them.

One stepped forward and said "hello we are looking for Trisha Elric we need her help" she continued before he could say anything "we have her nephew and he needs a place to live. The home he has been living in has been deemed as unsafe, but if she cannot take him he will have to go back" she finely paused for breath.

Ed looked at the 8 or 9 year old child standing in front of him, he looked like he hadn't had a good meal in months, and was dressed in little more than rags. He thought for a moment and said "mom would love for him to live here she's not here right now, but I'll take care of him. We'll mail you if something goes wrong. The older couple looked shocked that he said yes for his mother, but they were in a hurry so they just nodded handed him an envelope and left. The strange couple was gone before Ed noticed they hadn't given a name.

Ed led the child to the kitchen and got him breakfast, then he went to the bedroom and found something to transmute for the kid to wear. Back in the kitchen he looked at the kid and realized he didn't know his name. "What's your name kid" he asked.

The child looked shocked that he was spoken to and quietly replied "Harry Potter."

"ok Harry why don't you get dressed so you can come to work with me?" as Harry ran to get dressed Ed read the letter from the envelope, it had the usual please take care of and tell him his parents loved him, but Ed was a little concerned and the last line that read "we'll be watching." Ed went to the phone and called Hughes. When he answered Ed asked him to get him custody papers to fill out, and a file on Harry Potter.

Ed and Harry walked in to Mustang's office a little latter. Ed went straight to Hughes who handed him a stack of papers then ask "do I even want to know."

Ed thought for a minute then said "I don't know why you'd be worried. I just need to finalize custody of my little cousin Harry, so that his last "family" can't ever get him back."

Hughes and Mustang looked up "HARRY POTTER" they both said at the same time.

"Yea" replied a startled and concerned Ed. Hughes reached over and put another few papers on his stack of custody papers. "What are these for" Ed ask him.

"Name changing forms" Huges replied. "I read his file; you don't want anyone finding him." Ed started reading the file, his face paled and he started signing forms.
