Me: Welcome to Chapter 2 of Alchemic Wizards! Okay, I'm just going to cut to the chase because I know you guys want to read this chapter. Roy and Ed will be here at the end of the chapter because I just want to get this started. If I keep using the same words/names over again just ignore it because it's really hard to come up with different ones most of the time. Well, I'm done for now, enjoy the chapter!

Alchemic Wizards
Chapter 2
As the two alchemists stepped into the massive and spacious castle, they stared in awe at just about everything that passed them. They were both mildly shocked as they encountered talking portraits. At which the headmaster and headmistress chuckled.
"Shall we head to my office?" Dumbledore asked the stunned alchemists. They nodded once and continued to stare at the mystical objects being presented to them. As they went up a spiraling staircase, they stopped in front of a large gargoyle statue.
"Lemon drops." Dumbledore said to the rather large statue. Said statue moved out of the way and a door was revealed behind it. Ed and Roy were left speechless as they entered the office. As the headmaster sat at his desk, the two visitors looked at him with confusion etched onto their faces, for there was only one chair.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that." He said. The old man took out his wand (to the alchemists it looked like a stick) and waved it at the chair, instantly making two of them. Ed and Roy sat down, clearly wanting an explanation.
"Well, I should probably explain." Dumbledore said sighing. He had to tell this story about a million times and truth be told, it was getting kind of annoying.
"Yes and what is this place? What exactly do you do?" Ed pestered.
"Well, it's a long story." The headmaster replied. Ed smiled.
"We have time, and consider it an Equivalent Exchange. You tell us about your culture and your…magic, and we'll tell you about our culture and our alchemy. Deal?' Ed asked. Dumbledore just smiled.
"Deal. I just have one question though." Dumbledore replied. Ed and Roy both raised an eyebrow.
"Do both of you happen to know a man named Voldemort?" Dumbledore inquired, as the twinkle in his eyes disappeared.
"Who's Voldemort?" Ed and Roy asked simultaneously. Dumbledore and Minerva studied them both to see if they were lying, but realized they were telling the truth. The look in their eyes was enough to know that they were in fact not lying at all. The headmaster and headmistress sighed in relief. And so the questions and explaining began. Sometime during Dumbledore's explaining, a few other teachers walked in and Ed and Roy got introduced. For the rest of the day, the alchemists and wizards shared their stories to each other (with snacks included); it resulted in Ed showing his automail and several shocked authority figures. By the time they were finished, it was well past midnight. Dumbledore also asked the two alchemists to watch over a boy by the name of Harry Potter a.k.a "The Boy Who Lived". It seems he's been getting into trouble lately. Ed has also been placed in the second year and will be sorted at the enrollment ceremony, which will take place in front of the school in 2 weeks. Ed suddenly got nervous when he heard he was going to be standing up in front of the whole school but Dumbledore told him to not worry about it. Roy and all of the other teachers (except Snape) thought it was really cute how Ed was shy in front of big crowds. Ed and Roy's class will begin 1 week after. Dumbledore and the other teachers headed off to bed, while McGonagall escorted the alchemists to their living quarters. They finally reached their room after a series of twists and turns that Ed and Roy surely wouldn't remember.
"All you have to do is come up with a password for your room and the painting will move out of the way for you. Make sure you keep it a secret though or else anybody could get into your room. Goodnight." She told both males before walking away in a random direction, most likely to her bedroom. Ed and Roy stood there until the painting of a woman asked for the password. Moments later Roy snapped his fingers (his gloves are off btw).
"I got it. Fullmetal." He smirked at the painting who was currently tapping her foot in annoyance. Ed blushed.
"Password accepted." She told them as she yawned. She and the frame moved aside and revealed a door. They walked inside to greet another spacious and well-furnished room. The lights were dimmed down low, there was a connected bathroom, a fireplace accompanied by two big squishy chairs bathed in the warmth of the fire that was currently present, and the ceiling was so high that you could barely see it. Ed ran into the bathroom and several seconds later, Roy heard Ed shout,
"Oh my Gate! Roy come in here and look at this bathroom! Its frickin' huge!"
Roy chuckled and turned to go check out the bathroom, when he noticed something.
There was only one bed.
Ed came out of the bathroom with a smile on his face.
"Hey, aren't you gonna check out the bathroom? It has a hot tub and every-" Ed got cut short as he realized why Roy didn't come see the bathroom.
'I have to share a bed with Roy?' Ed blushed furiously at the thought.
'This should be interesting.' Roy thought as he smirked.
"Well, come on. Let's go to bed. We have a lot to do tomorrow." The older man said as he walked toward the queen-sized bed. He stopped at the side of the bed and asked,
"What side of the bed do you want?"
Ed merely shrugged as a tint of pink was still graced upon his cheeks. Roy then rounded the bed and took the side nearest to the window. Ed sat on the bed, back facing Roy and quickly stripped down to his boxers. As Ed turned around to hop into bed, he was greeted to the sight of Roy in his boxers as well. The blush on the blonde alchemist's face was at full force right about now. Roy was dazed by Ed's perfectly sculpted body until he snapped out of it when he noticed the blush on Ed's face, he smirked and asked,
"Like what you see?"
Ed turned even brighter as he shook his head furiously.
"Pervert! O-Of course not! W-Why would you even ask that?" Ed screeched. Roy just smirked again. Ed glared at him as he climbed into bed, back facing Roy again. The raven-haired man did the same and turned off the light. Both males could feel the heat radiating off one another, and the heat only increased when the older of the two wrapped his arms around the younger and pulled him close.
"W-What are you doing?" Ed exclaimed as he struggled to get free. Unfortunately the older man had fallen asleep. Ed turned to look at him and saw that he had a smile on his face and wondered if it was because of him. Roy unconsciously whispered,
"Ed…"
Said alchemist blushed and smiled. He knew the smile was meant for him, and he was glad that he was the cause of it. The blonde turned over and snuggled into the warm, broad chest that was provided for him. It had been a long time since he had felt safe. He peacefully slipped into unconsciousness, and the smiles that were evident on both males' faces lasted all throughout the night.
