Edward Elric, Alchemist and Wizard.
Chapter 3. Magic Shops, Grimald Place, and the Golden Trio.
Hi, sorry for the wait. And I would like to say thanks to all who reviewed, asked questions (which were also helpful), and gave suggestions! First off, I want to clear up a few things:
First, Ed and Al are going to be students, not teachers.
Second, they start school during Harry's fifth year.
Third, I AM trying to make it longer.
Fourth, I will try harder to get Ed's personality right.
Fifth, Ed still has his automail to serve as a reminder of them trespassing on god's territory (and because he had become used to fighting with his signature blade.)
Me: Ed, time for the disclaimer.
Ed: *transmutates my wall into a blackboard, and writes down the disclaimer* there, Llanonelson only owns this fanfiction, not the characters.
Me: good. Now, please fix my wall, it's a little drafty. *shivers*
Ed: WHO YOU CALLING SMALLER THAN ROY MUSTANG'S YEARLY SALARY?! *MAKES HIS FAMOUS BLADE*
Me: *grabs the sword of light* not you, the draft *Ed charges, and we start to fight*.
. .
Ed and Al looked around in wonder at all the wizarding shops on their way to gringots the wizard bank. Upon entering the bank, Ed's jaw dropped for the second time that day. There were chimeras everywhere!
"Why the hell are all these chimeras running the bank?" demanded a very ticked off Ed.
"Shhh. Best not to insult them, you don't want to make those goblins angry." Hagrid warned him.
"Goblins?" Al questioned.
Hagrid ignores the question and goes up to the desk "we need to visit the Gryffindor vault. His descendants, the Elric brothers, need to access their inheritance."
Once they left gringots, they first went to get robes. They enter the shop and are immediately told to stand on the platforms.
Madam Malkin tuted. "Only 5'1". You need to drink more milk."
"There ain't no damn way I'm drinking milk." Ed muttered a vain showing on his forehead.
"Watch your language."
Ed and Al walked out with 8 sets of custom red robes each. All of the robes had a black flamel on the back.
Getting their school stuff was relatively easy, considering how Ed usually was. Their final stop was olivanders wand shop.
"established 382bc. They have been in business for a while." Al mussed.
'understatement of the day.' Ed thought as he looked at the wands on display.
"well, this is certainly a surprise. I wasn't expecting to see two of the last three descendants of Gryffindor in my shop." Came the Quite creepy voice olivanders as he emerged from the shadows.
"what the hell! Are you trying to give us all a god damn heart attack?" Ed yelled.
"my apologies. Now, Mr. Alphose, will you please stand."
Al stood up and was surprised to have a tape measure start measuring different parts of his right arm. All the while olivanders was choosing wands off the shelf and piling them on the desk.
"all right, try this one." He said.
Al took the wand and it immediately shot out gold sparks.
"interesting combination, redwood and unicorn hair, 10". Flexible, good for advanced charms." Olivander explained.
Ed walked up next and had his arm measured. This time Olivander came back with only one wand.
"This is the only wand that fits your measurements." He said slowly.
Ed took the wand and the whole room was suddenly filled with a giant blue and silver dragon.
"Astounding." Olivander whispered. "the dragon whose soul and heartstring reside in that wand have finally chosen a partner."
"what do you mean?" Ed asked, looking at him.
The spirit of the dragon whose heartstring resides in that wand has chosen you as its partner. The dragon has been rejecting wizards for years, I even went so far as to destroy it when no was chosen. But it's will to remain in existence proved indomitable." Olivander said solemly.
Ed looked at the wand with respect. "I won't let it down."
Ed left olivanders with the 12" ash wand placed carefully in his inner coat pocket.
"Now were to, Mr. Giant?" Ed asked bluntly.
"Our destination isn't very far from 'ere." Hagrid replied.
They walked for about fifteen until they stopped in front of an anomaly. As Ed and Al looked at the numbers of the houses in front of them, house number twelve suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"What the hell!? Where'd that house appear from?" Ed looked in shock at the house, while Al had choked on his own spit in surprise.
"It's protected by spells to make it unplotable." Hagrid replied, tapping the door with his wand.
Ed and Al heard a series of clicks and the door creaked open. After they walked in, Hagrid closed the door, knocking over a large umbrella stand that made a large crash.
Out of nowhere, a shrieking came from a moving painting. It might have startled Ed to see the painting, if he hadn't seen all he had already that day.
"HALF-BREEDS, BLOOD TRAITORS, MUDBLOODS AND FILTH. HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE HOUSE OF MY FOREFATHERS…"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU DAMN BITCH!" Ed yelled at the portrait, causing the woman inside to stop mid sentence and look at him in shock. With a startles look, she closed the curtains, and all became Quiet.
A man with shaggy black hair and a man who looked old for his age came running up the stairs, from what Ed suspected was the basement. They looked from the painting to Ed, back to the painting, and then looked at all of them.
The old looking man asked Hagrid "these the Elric brothers?"
"They are, Lupin."
The man with the shaggy hair nodded. "Let's get them settled in."
-Time Skip-
The first thing Ed heard was the bedroom door slamming open and a loud voice yelling. Groaning, Ed rolled over, trying to get back to sleep, when something hit him in the head.
"Ron, don't hit them!" a girls voice scolded.
Groaning again, Ed sat up, and the next thing that happened caused everything to go to hell in a hand basket.
There were two pops, and the redhead that had burst into the room complained to the two that appeared out of nowhere "there is no way he is seventeen AND is joining the fifth year. Look, he is about as tall as a thirteen year old."
Ed, who was still trying to wake up, snapped. Before anyone could blink, Ed had slammed Ron into the wall, his right hand holding his shirt collar.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MIDGET, A PIPSQUEAK, A MINI-MAN, A SHORTY, A TINY GRAIN OF RICE?" snarled Ed, with Al trying to pull him off Ron.
Ron stammered "I d-didn't s-s-say a-all th-that."
"Ed, let him go!" Al exclaimed, still truing to get his brother to let go of the redhead.
Ed reluctantly let him go, but not before giving a glare that would have made Scar wet his pants.
-Time Skip-
"I think introductions are in order. I'm Hermione. This is Ron," she said, pointing at the redhead that had pissed Ed off earlier. "These are Fred and George," she pointed at the Weasly twins. " This is Ginny," nodding in the young girls direction. " As she introduced each of them, the silvery form of a phoenix appeared in front of them. It opened its beak and startled both Ed, Al, and Ginny when it spoke. "Harry Potter was attack. He has a hearing on august eighteenth. You must retrieve him and bring him to HQ immediately." Then, the phoenix disappeared.
Everyone started freaking out, but the only thing going through the Elrics minds was 'Who is Harry Potter, and why was he attacked?'
*the fight is still going, but not for long*
Me: Halo Blade! *the x shaped blast of energy knocks Ed out.*
Me: now, I hope everyone enjoyed this, and I hope to make more updates soon. Also, my birthday is only two weeks away, happy birthday me! Remember reviews are much appreciated.
