"Ok, all first years follow me to the boats!" Hagrid yelled as the students got off the train.
"See ya, Roy." Ed said walking away from Roy.
"Hold it, you're coming with me." Roy said grabbing the back of Ed's robe.
"Why! I thought that I was a first year?" Ed said, confused.
"You are, but Professor McGonagal wants to have a talk with you, remember?" Roy explained.
"Oh, yeah." Ed said, with all of the water works he had forgotten.
So the two of them set off for the castle.
"Did you notice how Harry, Ron, and Hermione were staring at us on the train?" Ed asked Roy.
"Yeah, I wonder why." Roy answered.
Roy was thinking, 'hmmmmm… maybe it was because I was trying to get Ed wet… by hugging him… Ok, now there is something wrong with me. But it was fun.'
"So, are you coming to this meeting with me or are just going to leave me?" Ed said, that last part coldly.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you, not ever." Roy said, hoping to comfort Ed.
"Ok, thanks." Ed said, smiling up at Roy.
"For what?" Roy asked, looking down at Ed looking confused.
"Well… coming with me and not making me come alone." Ed explained.
"Oh, your welcome." Roy said.
The two of them had justarrived at the castle doors.
"So, do you know where the room we're going to meet this Professor in is?" Ed asked, following Roy through the halls.
"Yeah, it's right here." Roy said, stopping at a pair of doors.
Roy opened the doors and walked in. There was a old woman in a green robe sitting at a desk in the middle of the room.
" Hello, Mr. Mustang, nice to see you again. This must be Mr. Elric." The woman said.
"Yes, nice to meet you too, Professor." Ed said.
"Oh, please sit down." The professor said, so both Ed and Roy sat in the chair's in front of the desk, "I'm Professor McGonagal, Transfiguration teacher."
"Ok… Roy said that you wanted to speak to me." Ed said starting to look confused.
"Yes, you and Mr. Mustang here will be teaching an Alchemy class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to 1st years, 5th years, and 7th years." Professor McGonagal explained.
Ed just glared at Roy and turned back to the Professor and said, "How long have you people been planning this?"
"Almost a year, people who wanted to take this class signed up last year and first years signed up when they sent in their owls." The Professor said.
"Ok." Ed said, calmly, but gave Roy a I'm-going-to-kill-you glare.
"And one more thing," The Professor said getting up and grabbing a hat from a shelf, she walked around her desk and put the hat on Ed's head.
"What's this!" Ed said.
"The sorting hat." The Professor said.
"Hmmm… You have a great mind, oh, strong too, and loyal. But where to put you?"
"Ok, were is that voice coming from?" Ed asked.
"The hat." The Professor said.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat said, and Professor McGonagal took the hat off Ed's head.
"Well, what the hell was that about!" Ed asked
"That is what house you will be taking your classes withs and if you would like that is the dormitory you will sleep in with your classmates." McGonagal explained.
"What do you mean 'if you would like', he has a choice?" Roy asked.
"Well Mr. Mustang, he is a special case, he is a teacher and a student. The teachers have rooms connected to there classrooms, and the students have the dormitories. So Mr. Elric has a choice to live with his fellow classmates or with you." The Professor explained.
"Well could I do both, like if I get mad at some of my classmates could I go to our room?" Ed asked.
"Well, I suppose. By the way, you start teaching next week, so you have time to get ready. Now other students have to get sorted, so you and Mr. Mustang can go to the Great Hall. Mr. Mustang, you are welcome to sit with Mr. Elric or the teachers. Oh, and the Gryffindor table is the second from the right." McGonagal finished and left to greet the first years.
"So, do you mind if I eat with you and the other Gryffindor's?" Roy asked.
"Sure, I'd like that." Ed replied.
So they were like the last ones, besides the first years, to enter the Great Hall. When they went to sit down the table they got stared at MORE.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?" Ed asked, well, he made it more of a statement than a question.
A boy with red hair, sitting across from Ed said, "Well, all of the teachers are supposed to sit at that table." Pointing to a table at the front of the room.
"For your information, Roy is allowed to sit here with me." Ed explained.
"And who said that he could?" The boy asked.
"Professor McGonagal, Himself, and me." Ed said.
"What gives him and you authority? You're just a student." The boy said.
"Well, my friend, that is were you are mistaken. We are the Alchemy Teachers." Ed said.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Do you really expect me to believe that you are the alchemy teacher? Why don't you prove it? Here's a pencil, why don't you show me that you can do alchemy? No student in this school can do a successful transmutation, seeing how this is the first year we have an alchemy class." The boy said.
"Don't need it." Ed said, simply.
"Then you can't do alchemy. I did some reading over the summer, and you need to draw a transmutation circle." The boy said, sounding superior.
"Oh ya, watch. I'm going to turn you're half used pencil into a full pencil again." Ed said, while the boy just sat there, watching.
Ed put the pencil down on the table, clapped his hands, there were blue lights and the pencil was full again. Then Roy snapped his fingers and lit the pencil on fire.
"You just couldn't leave me be, could you." Ed said turning to Roy, who was laughing uncontrollably, "What's so funny?" Roy just pointed at the boy, who's face had the funniest expression while trying to put out the smoldering pencil. Then half of the people at the Gryffindor table and some from the surrounding tables started to clap.
"What was with the fire?" The boy said.
"That was The Flame Alchemist over there." Ed said, pointing to Roy "Lives up to his name, doesn't he?"
All the boy could do was nod. In came the first years, and Professor McGonagal got out that hat again, but this time it started to sing.
"Roy, I think that that hat has problems." Ed whispered.
"Yeah, me too." Roy said.
"Shhhhh!" The boy sitting across the table from Ed said.
Professor McGonagal started calling names out, but the onley ones Ed paid attention to were Harry, the hat took a while to decide his, Ron, the hat insulted him, and Hermione, it took like 10 seconds to send her to a house. Of course they all went to Gryffindor. After the sorting was finished, the feast began.
"So, Ed, are you gong to bunk with me or the rest of the Gryffindor's?" Roy asked, kind of hoping that he would chose to stay with him.
"Well, I think that I'm going to bunk with you." Ed said between bites of food.
Roy was thinking 'Yes! … Wait,…WHAT AM I THINKING! AM I SOME KIND OF PERVERT OR SOMETHING? WHAT DO I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN US!'
"But when we get notified that there are big test's and exams, I'm going to bunk with the other Gryffindor's so that we can study together and stuff." Ed continued.
"Why did you chose to be my room mate for the rest of the time?" Roy asked, smirking.
"Well, we have to teach a class together so if we share a room we can have a easer time planning what to teach them." Ed explained.
"Yeah, I guess." Roy said.
While Ed and Roy were having there conversation, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were having their own conversation and not paying attention to the conversation Ed and Roy were having, so they did not know about Ed teaching.
About a half of an hour later, when everyone was finished eating, the students of Hogwarts went to their assigned houses. Harry and the others had not even noticed when Ed and Roy had walked of.
"So, where is our classroom?" Ed asked as they walked the halls of the school.
"Well, it should be right here." The Fire Alchemist answered, stopping at a wooden door.
Ed opened the door and walked in, followed by Roy.
Spotting the door at the back of the room, the Fullmetal Alchemist said, "Hey, what about our stuff?"
"Well, the professor said that they would be here when we arrived." Roy said, as confused as Ed on how they would be able to sort all of the students stuff in such a short time.
"Well, lets go see if it's here." Ed said, grabbing Roy's hand and pulling him into the other room. And there was their stuff, to both of their surprise.
"How the heck could they have known that I chose to be your roommate instead of staying with the other Gryffindor's!" Ed asked, now in complete shock.
Roy just smiled and said, "It's magic. Now we should go to sleep, you have classes tomorrow."
