A/N: I'M ON A ROLL! -falls on face- Never mind.

Disclamier: It is pretty obvious that I do not own Fullemtal Alchemist or Harry Potter.

Envy had spent the remainer of his days in Diagon Alley playing with his beloved cat, Kiorra, reading his books from Flourish and Blotts, and messing with Edward, the latter more often. Much more often. He didn't want to jinx things but it seemed that he might enjoy this mission with the pipsqueak. Envy had somehow gotten over the fact that Ed ate his raspberry and chocolate ice cream and had thanked him by giving the blonde a black eye. In Envy's opinion, he was holding back. Really.

Today was their final day in Diagon Alley and Envy was trying to keep it quiet and mellow. Edward was lying on his stomach, reading The Standard Book of Spells(Grade 6). Envy was duly impressed at the speed that the young alchemist could read. But he supposed it would be easy for anyone if you got rid of more than half of the books. A few hours after their shopping spree, Ed had thrown several books into the farthest corner of the room that they shared. Most of them seemed to be under the same study; the art of Transfiguration. The others included books all by the same author which Ed threw across the room, declaring that they were bullshit. Envy read them and had to agree.

They were bullshit.

Envy watched as Kiorra moved out of her personal patch of sunlight coming from the window to go lay next to Edward on the bed. The amethyst-eyed sin watched in envy(pun intended) as the blonde impatiently pushed the cat away. He sighed. Envy was still getting over the fact that his cat loved the pipsqueak more than him. And that the pipsqueak didn't give the cat the time of day.

Envy sat up abruptly and pulled on his shoes. He walked towards the door and turned to look at Kiorra.

''Wanna come?"

Kiorra turned big, green eyes towards him and then looked at Edward, who was still ignoring her. She made a noise, probably the cat equivalent of a sigh and slowly walked over to him. Envy smiled happily and picked up her in his arms. He glanced at Edward.

''Oi, pipsqeak. I'm going out.''

There was the sound of grinding teeth then a grunt of approval.

Envy smirked.

After getting another raspberry and chocolate ice cream from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Palor(God, he loved that stuff) Envy found himslef strolling through Diagon Alley, Kiorra following him. He soon found himself in front of Gringotts, something catching his eye. It appeared to be a whole other thing, completely different from Diagon Alley.

Knockturn Alley.

Every creepy, sadistic fiber within him was screaming at him to go down the strange, random alley in a world that he knew almost nothing about. Well, not really true. He was reading books about it. But just when Envy was about to cross into Knockturn terrioty, he felt the famailar feeling of someone galring holes in his back. He turned around, expecting to see Edward but instead, he saw a small, plump redheaded woman was was glaring daggers at him. Or more appropriately, his hair.

Kiorra hissed, obviously not liking the hatred the woman was directing at her master. That was her job, damnit!

Envy gave the women his best ' I'm-a-sadist-and-I'm-proud' look. She looked alarmed. As she should, Envy thought smugly. He turned on his heel and walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, thoughts about Knockturn Alley flying out of his mind...for the moment.

Edward gave a rather large burp and patted his full stomach happily. He was rather enjoying himself. At the military, he was put on rations. According to the bastard, the military did not have enough money to supply him with all the food he wanted. But here, he could eat all he wanted.

He looked across the table at Envy, who had just finished his third slice of chocolate cake. It seemed that the sin had a big of an appetite as he did. Ed picked up the book he had been reading. Personally, he thought it was stupid for him to learn about something he would never pratice but Mustang had told him to learn all he could about the place and the people. He said it was to see if they were a threat or not. And if they weren't a threat, they were a potential ally.

He flipped to his page, determined to finish the book today. Edward was aware he had read way more than he should have but he was following his orders.

Finally.

''Oi, pipsqueak.''

Think of Al. Think of Al. Think of Al. Think of Al. Think Of Al. Think of Al.

Edward looked at the sin as nicely as possible. Which meant with no kindess at all.

''Yes?''

''You didn't drink your milk.''

Edward's blood frozed. Envy looked at him, amethyst eyes curious. He didn't look like he was teasing. In fact, he looked dead serious.

Ed held his book in front of his face. He mumbled,''I don't like milk.''

Envy leaned forward, cupping his ear as if that would help him hear better. ''What did ya say?''

He cleared his throat awkwardly. ''I do not like milk.'' he said a bit louder.

There was a longest moment of silence before the oddest sound graced his ears.

It was throaty and smooth.

It was devious.

Envy Homunculus was laughing at him.

There wouldn't have been any surprise if this was the sin's normal laughter. It was still directed at him. It wasn't filled with maliciousness and wasn't filled with the usual sadistic joy. Call Edward insane, but it might have been filled with...

Mirth.

Quickly satisfied, Envy's lips sealed and the laughter stopped. He scooped up Kiorra in his lap and stared at Ed, smirk in place.

Ed gazed at him, stunned.

His eyes had been filled with pure enjoyment.

Strange...

And even though it was at his expense, Ed was almost sad to see it go.

''Guess that explains why you're so short. Eh, shorty?''

Almost.

A/N: This was more of a filler chap than anything. By the way, I do realize Ed was a bit OOC at the end but I couldn't help myself. I never intened to upload it but I knew I could never rest unless it was up there. Oh, reply to Guest reviewer.

Thanks for the praise. Really. You made my day. :)

Anywhore, the golden trio will be showing up next chapter and then the plot will FINALLY began to move along.

Yeah...So, read and review. And thanks to everyone that is still reading my junk.
