Yes, I have realized that after Diagon Alley they went back home but let's just pretend they were running late and went the day before they left XD Oh and pairings anyone? No? Okay moving on xD jkjk anyways here's le next chappie! Muhahaha xD I don't own FMA or HP!

I understand that some of you are confused so READ THIS if you were the ones who were reviewing about them. Or read this if you are in fact, a little confused. The owls: Yes I know, I know, I know, they're supposed to be delivered straight to Edward but since Edward doesn't actually have a house and lives with the Rockbells they had to go straight to who his guardian was. Which was Mustang. Why did Ed immediately drop his quest to go to a Magic school? Guys if you haven't realized it by now, Ed is 12. He is amazed with Magic, even though he doesn't want to admit it. Even though he is amazed, he thinks there can be someway he can retrieve Alphonse's body back. Yes I know Ed cant stand his father but what about before he left? Hohenheim didn't do much for them but there were times when he was actually a family with all of them. And the reason why he doesn't need convincing is because Magic doesn't use equivalent exchange and he wants to use that to his advantage. And I believe they made the oath after Hughes had died. Hughes isn't dead in this, therefore, they have never made the oath that they didn't want their bodies back if it were to harm others. Because basically it wasn't their fault that Nina died. It was the insane Shou Tucker's idea. He would have made her into a chimera with or without the Elrics. The Elrics just made sure that he paid for his crime. Since Edward is 12 and not 15, he hasn't learned that the Philosopher's Stone is made of live humans. Does this explain everything?

A knock was heard on the door of Edward's door, making said blond wake up. The person kept knocking and Edward was beginning to think that the person was doing it on purpose to annoy him. He quickly got dressed into his clothes, so they wouldn't see his automail, and answered the door. It was, of course, Hagrid.

"Mornin', Edward."

"Morning Hagrid."

"Ready to go to King's Cross?"

"King's what?"

"The station."

"Oh...yeah sure hold on." Edward packed up all the books he was reading and put Nina in her cage. He stretched and groggily followed Hagrid out of the bar. He yawned. Hagrid led him to another fireplace. Edward groaned. "We're going by Floo again?" Hagrid chuckled.

"Sorry, Edward. I don't have any car to drive and you're going by Floo. I have some things I need to attend to first."

"Fine." Hagrid was granted permission to use the bar's fireplace in the back.

"Thanks a bunch..."

"No problem, Hagrid." Edward noted the irritation in the bartenders voice and chuckled. Edward, because Hagrid wasn't coming, used another bag of Floo powder and stumbled out of another fireplace.

"Don't think I'll ever get used to that." Edward mumbled. He walked out into the station sneakily. He glanced at his ticket, which read 9¾. "The hell?" He walked around and saw only 9 and 10. He was about to ask an officer when he heard a woman's voice.

"Percy first." He turned around to the voice and saw a tall red head disappear from behind a pillar. He walked up to the Woman.

"Um. Excuse me."

"Oh is this your first time?" Ed nodded. He glanced at Ron, who did a slight wave. "Alright just walk into that pillar and hurry up or you'll be late. Best to get a running start." Edward shook his head at the nonsense but did as she said. Right before impact, Ed closed his eyes, expecting pain but nothing came. He looked around and saw the scarlet train.

"Wow." Edward commented. A man came from behind him.

"Oh, hello. You're still here?" The man had red hair and was balding. Ed nodded his head. He held his hand out. "Arthur Weasley." Ed shook his hand. "Are you a first year?" Ed shook his head. Mr. Weasley gave him an odd look.

"Just learned about all this yesterday really."

"Ah, so you're muggle-born..." Edward reminded himself that a muggle was a non-magic person.

"I guess you could say that. My father was a wizard but I don't think my mom was."

"So...do you have anything...muggle-wise?" Mr. Weasley asked as two red-headed twins came from behind him. Ed blinked.

"Uh..."

"Oh dad, leave him alone." one of the twins clapped their hands on his shoulder. More Weasleys emerged from the barrier.

"So, new kid, what's your name?" The other twin asked.

"Edward Elric...you can just call me Ed though."

"I'm Gred."

"And I'm Feorge."

"Huh?" the woman rolled her eyes.

"Fred and George. I'm Molly Weasley and this is Ginny. By the way do you wear those eye things, muggles call contacts? Not many people have your eye color."

"No I don't, they're natural." Edward was really starting to get irritated of that question. There was a high pitch screech.

"Oh, the train! Hurry!" Mrs. Weasley pushed all the kids on board. Edward went ahead and found a compartment to himself. He grabbed a few books for first years and started reading. He put his case on the rack and propped his feet up. He was reading for awhile when the door to his compartment opened. It was Hermoine, Ginny, and another boy that Edward had never seen before.

"Um, can we sit here?" Edward took his feet down and scoot over. "This is Neville." Hermoine introduced him. Neville sat next to Edward and Hermoine and Ginny sat together. Hermoine noticed him reading a Potions book. She also seemed to notice that Edward was into it. "Potions?" Edward kept reading, unable to hear her.

"Hello?" Ginny asked, he didn't respond. "Neville...tap him." Neville gingerly tapped him.

"What amazing focus." Hermoine commented. The compartment door slid open, more like slammed, and a familiar sneering blond could be seen.

"Where's Potter? Or did his muggles not let him here and starve him to death?" They all scowled at him. Edward just read on.

"Edward? What are you doing with this pathetic bunch." Edward didn't reply. Malfoy blinked. "Edward...?" He looked at the others. They shrugged. Malfoy strutted over to him but Ginny tripped him along the way, causing him to knock Edward's book out of his hands and land on the floor. Ed blinked. He heard laughing.

"Hey...where did my book go?" They all pointed to Malfoy, who was on the floor. "Draco?" Edward poked him, causing them to laugh harder. Malfoy stood up and scowled at them all. Ed held out his hand.

"Why wouldn't you answer me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I was trying to talk to you and you wouldn't answer-stop laughing!" Malfoy yelled at them, causing them to shut up."

"Oh...sorry. I've been told I have a lot of focus. Did you need something?"

"No...I was...never mind." Malfoy plopped the book in Edward's hands and left the room. Edward was about to read again, only to have it snatched from his hands. Ed growled.

"Potions?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Why are you reading Potions?"

"Because I need to catch up." Edward stood up and walked over to Hermoine to retrieve his book. She stood up and held it above his head. He scowled at her. "Give me my book."

"You're friends with Malfoy?"

"I never said that now give it!" Edward tried reaching for it. The compartment opened again and Fred and George laughed at Edward.

"What's wrong, pipsqueak? Can't reach?"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLED A RUNT SO SMALL HE CAN BE STOMPED ON BY AN ANT, YOU JERK!" Edward lunged at Fred. Hermoine dropped the book and held Ed back. Fred and George blinked. They smiled evilly.

"You." they both said.

"WHY YOU!" Ed struggled harder against her. "LET ME GO!"

"Edward...calm down!" Ginny shouted. After a few long minutes, Edward was finally able to calm down. He scowled at the Twins.

"Fucking bastards..." Edward muttered, only Neville heard. He gasped.

"Edward!" Ed rolled his eyes and picked up his book.

"Hey Ed..." Ed sighed and closed his book, realizing that he wouldn't be getting any reading done for the beginning of the trip.

"What is it?"

"Well I was wondering...how did Malfoy know you?"

"We met while I was getting school robes."

"Really? Hmm. Malfoy doesn't make many friends."

"Well I guess since my bastard of a father is famous, he respects that." He was slapped on the arm by Ginny when he cursed.

"Elric...that's unfamiliar though..."

"My father's name was Van Hohenheim, Elric was my mother's last name."

"Hohenheim! You mean the Hohenheim!" Ed rolled his eyes. The Twins were standing there, having no idea of what they were talking about.

"Who?" it was Hermoine's turn to roll her eyes.

"You wouldn't know, now would you? Just forget about it...although he is famous. Mostly only old wizards know him. You should ask your parents about him." They both shrugged.

"Well. We've got business to attend to." They winked at Hermoine. She scowled at them, knowing they were up to their tricks again. Ed reopened his book while they were busy arguing and opened it to read. A few hours later a plump woman was pushing a cart full of candy. Edward, smelling the delicious sweets, looked up from his book. Ginny giggled.

"Well, now we know how to get your attention while you're focused." Ed scowled at her. He took out some of his leftover money and bought some sweets. They were all staring at him.

"Do you want some?" They nodded and he gave them his sweets.

"Thanks Edward." Ed frowned.

"Just call me Ed. People only call me Edward when they're angry at me."

"Why would they be mad at you?" Neville asked cautiously. Ed smirked.

"Oh. Just reasons." They gave him cautious looks. "Let's just say I'm known for blowing things up." they all stared at him. Hermoine looked out the window.

"We should probably get dressed into our school robes now." Ginny nodded. Hermoine and Ginny left the room to go find a compartment to dress into. Edward looked cautiously at the dressing Neville. After he was finished he looked at Ed curiously.

"Um. Can I dress by myself...sorry I just have a terrible scar...I don't like people to see it." Neville nodded.

"Okay, sure." Neville left and Edward covered the compartment window. He dressed quickly so that no one would walk in on him. The train came to a halt. He collected his things and basically ran off the train before it started moving again. He heard Hagrid's booming voice echo through the crowd.

"Firs' years over here! Oh Edward c'mere!" Ed ran over to him.

"Yeah?"

"I know yer a second year but since yeh haven't been sorted yet yeh need to come with me." Edward nodded.

"Okay." they grouped up and went on the boat. Edward got lucky and was able to find Ginny.

"Hey Ed...what are you doing here?"

"I wasn't here last year so I didn't get sorted."

"Oh...okay." They started chatting about the houses they would be sorted into while they were on the boat. As they approached the castle (with a "MAN THAT CASTLE IS HUGE!" from Edward), Ed saw that Ginny was getting nervous. She was worried that she'd be the first Weasley put into a different house, other than Gryffindor. They reached the shore and Hagrid kept Edward by his side.

"Edward just stay in the back and they'll announce that yer a second year and have you sorted first." Hagrid reassured him. Edward nodded his head. Hagrid knocked on the large door three times. A professor, that strongly reminded Ed of his teacher, had opened the door.

"Thank you Hagrid, I will take them from here." Hagrid nodded and Professor McGonagall led them in a single file line through the castle. She saw Edward in the back and motioned him to come here. "You will be sorted first. Stand in the front." But...Hagrid said the back...what the hell? Edward thought as he followed her. She turned around and started telling them about their houses and such. "Wait here. When I return you will be sorted." They all nodded.

"What house do you think you'll be sorted in?" He heard the same damn question over and over again. He longed for a book to read to pass time. Sure enough, as if on cue, Professor McGonagall was back.

"Enough chattering. Let's go." They all followed her through the hall. Edward gawked at the ceiling. It looked exactly like outside! He remembered reading about it in Hogwarts, A History, but he didn't actually believe it. There were also floating candles! Maybe this Magic stuff isn't such a big joke as he thought it was. Edward noticed the four large tables and the golden plates that sat atop of them. Though there were no dishes with actual food in it. A clank was heard. Edward forced himself to look forward. Professor McGonagall had placed a stool and a hat in front of them. It started singing a song, throwing Ed for a loop. He stared at the singing hat. Surely they didn't bond a soul to it did they? It would suck to be a hat. The hat stopped singing and he absentmindedly clapped. Professor McGonagall stepped forward. "Edward Elric, a second year who was not here last year, due to certain circumstances, you shall be first." Ed blinked and stepped forward. He sat on the stool and the hat was lifted onto his head.

"Ah." Edward jumped. He could hear the voice clearly in his head. "Bright mind enough to be put in Ravenclaw. However, you would do anything to achieve your goal, no? But then there's that bravery. Very brave indeed. Not to mention you are utmost daring. Certainly not a Hufflepuff...hmm. I know where to put you." Edward looked around and saw anxious faces in Slytherin. Apparently Malfoy had spread the rumor of how special he was. Edward inwardly rolled his eyes. That git.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Ed practically jumped out of his skin at how loud he was. He saw many frowning faces on the Slytherins. He took the hat off and placed it on the stool and ran over to the Gryffindor table. He didn't know where to sit since Ron and Harry weren't here so he sat beside Hermoine and Lavender, whoever she was. She introduced herself as soon as he sat down.

"Lavender Brown, is that your natural-"

"Yes this is my natural eye color." Edward interrupted her and sat between her and Hermoine.

"Now, first years." McGonagall said. As the first years were sorted, Ed realized that he had sat in a big group of girls...either that or they just came out of nowhere. "Weasley, Ginny!" Edward looked towards her. The hate immediately yelled Gryffindor when it went on her head. She cheered and walked over to the table. She started giggling when she saw all the girls surrounding Edward, who looked utterly confused. Fred and George kicked two girls out of their spots so they could sit next to Edward.

"Hey Ed."

"Hey Fred." Fred blinked.

"How do you know I'm not George?" Ed rolled his eyes.

"Would you rather me call you Gred or Feorge." They both laughed.

"Touche." Edward saw a greasy black-haired man leave towards the door. "That's Snape."

"Who's Snape?"

"The Potions Professor. He favors the Slytherins and absolutely hates the Gryffindors." Ed frowned. Maybe Potions wasn't going to be as fun as he expected it to. Or maybe it would, but he would be hated on. There was a loud clearing of a throat and they all silenced.

"Welcome." Dumbledore smiled. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Dongle! Bishkek! Kitbag! Fafnir!(1)" Ed stared at him.

"The hell?" Edward whispered confusingly. The girls around him giggled. The plates immediately filled with food. Ed's eyes bulged. Where was the exchange? Did Magic not follow that rule at all? Where has Magic been all his life? Apparently hiding from him. He piled food onto his plate and started inhaling it all. Fred, George, Hermoine, and Neville were all staring at him.

"You eat a lot..." Hermoine commented.

"He's like a vacuum cleaner!" Fred joked.

"Or a garbage disposal!" George joked. After they were all done eating, to Ed's dismay, Edward was preparing for Dumbledore to start talking again. But then desserts filled the plates instead. His jaw dropped and everyone laughed at him. He immediately started digging in like the others. Ed choked on a pie as a silver transparent person flew out of the table. Fred slapped Ed on the back and he swallowed.

"Thanks." Ed said hoarsely.

"Sorry there, young lad." Ed paled as he saw the ghost.

"What the..."

"My names Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington-"

"Nearly Headless Nick! It's nice to see you again." Ed curiously looked at the ghost who frowned in dismay.

"Nearly Headless?" the ghost sighed and pulled his head to the side, making some students turn green. Edward pitied the ghost. That must've hurt. Everyone at the Gryffindor table didn't feel like eating anymore. Fred and George looked at Ed in amazement. How could he not be sick from seeing that? The plates were cleared and Dumbledore stood up. The hall fell silent.

"Ahem - just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all students. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well." Edward noticed that Dumbledore was looking at the twins when he said that. "I have also been asked by Filch, our caretaker, has reminded me for the thousandth time that there should be no magic whatsoever in between classes in the halls. Quidditch auditions will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone interested in playing should contact Madam Hooch."

"I wonder where Harry is at..." Hermoine thought aloud at the sound of Quidditch. Edward was wondering what the hell Quidditch was.

"And now, before we rest our eyes, lets sing the school song!" Dumbledore flicked his wand and a golden ribbon flew out of it. It twisted into words. "Everyone pick a tune and let's sing!" Edward blushed a bit. He had been known to be a great singer and didn't want everyone staring at him. However, in respect he sand anyways. He didn't know what tune to sing in so he sang with the girls around him.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Whether we be old and bald

Or young with scabby knees,

Our heads could do with filling

With some interesting stuff,

For now they're bare and full of air,

Dead flies and bits of fluff,

So teach us things worth knowing,

Bring back what we've forgot, just do your best, we'll do the rest,

And learn until our brains all rot(2)." Ed was trying not to laugh at the girls' blush and the silly song. As Dumbledore dismissed them, Ed noticed his automail was starting to hurt. He rubbed at the aching port.

"You okay, Ed?" one of the girls asked him, causing Neville to glance at him.

"Yeah, my shoulders just bothering me." He felt a hand on his left shoulder and jumped when he saw Dumbledore.

"Mr. Elric, can we have a talk."

"Uh...sure?"

"Great. Follow me." Edward followed Dumbledore, rubbing his aching shoulder along the way, to face two stone gargoyles.

"Lemon Drops(3)" The gargoyles hopped aside, to Ed's surprise, and they went up a staircase and into a room. Dumbledore sat behind a desk. He motioned for Ed to sit down. "Can I see your arm." Ed held out his left. "Your other one." Ed opened his mouth to decline. "It's alright, Edward, I already know." Ed closed his mouth and put his right arm on the table. "Interesting...maybe I can get this done before McGonagall can get back...I suggest your leg is hurting as well?"

"How did you-"

"I'll explain later." Ed waited patiently as Dumbledore took out his wand and used magic on his right arm. Ed felt some of the pressure go away. The door opened and Dumbledore made no move to let Ed pull his arm back. Ed blushed and looked down. He heard McGonagall gasp.

"Sorry, sir. Was I interrupting something?"

"No, Professor, you're fine. Just don't mention this to any of the other teachers."

"Alright." Ed put his head on his left hand and his eyelids were drooping.

"Your leg?" Ed snapped up.

"Um..." Edward didn't wanna put his leg on his desk. That was rude, was it not? Dumbledore chuckled.

"That means you can put your leg on my desk." Edward propped his left leg on his desk and pulled his robes up. Dumbledore fixed the leg faster than his arm. Ed was about to walk out the door.

"Oh and Edward." Ed turned around.

"Yeah?"

"The password is wattlebird." Ed gave him a confused look before exiting the office. He left and started wandering around.

"Damn it...where am I supposed to go now?" He bumped into a tall figure and fell down. He stood up and dusted himself off. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." He looked up and saw Snape. Shit.

Teehee...cliffhanger! ~sighes~ my sister already got her dress for homecoming with grandma =( I haven't! I need something pink and sparkly because this years theme is Candy Land ;)

1)Believe it or not, those are real words. I actually typed in some random mess and used spell-check on them to create odd words ^-^

2)I admit it, I did start reading the book so I would know all that happened. I haven't read them since...last year maybe? And I read the entire series so its hard to remember little things like this ^-^

3)I know that Dumbledore's passwords were Lemon Drops and Acid Pops but I don't know when they were used xD
