Ch. 4: Mysterious Train
Harry Potter was still in his room, but he looked a lot better than the
last time we had visited him. He had actually bathed and combed his
hair. There was a tiny smile of excitement as it got closer to the day
that he would return to Hogwarts.
His owl, Hedwig, was in her cage resting. Her eyes asleep after being
up all night hunting for mice and rats to eat. Her cage had been cleaned
perfectly, Harry had used a spell on it since he was entering his 7th year
and could use magic outside of school.
His trunk was full to bursting with spell books he had used in his past years,
his father's valueable invisibility cloak that he had used many times during
his time at Hogwarts and his school clothes, which were getting too small for
him since he had grown about a foot over the summer. His firebolt, the
broomstick he rode during quidditch games, layed on the floor in tiptop
condition.
Harry was happy, not only that he was going back to Hogwarts, but the fact
that it was his birthday! He knew that his friends would probably send him
some birthday cards and gifts, he hoped, he wished he could see them more
than anything, but to hear from them would give him utter joy!
He sat on his bed, waiting for an owl to fly through the window or something
out of the ordinary, but unfortanately, nothing had happened so far.
"Sigh This is getting boring, I wish I could at least leave the room" Harry
moaned.
His aunt and uncle had sent him to his room since he had turned his cousin,
Dudley into a parrot since he was being annoying and kept hitting Harry
with his Smelting stick, which he had gotten when he was asked to
go to a private school called Smeltings. Harry had gotten tired of this
constant wacking and used his wand, which his aunt and uncle had forbidden
him to use so he was sent to his room without any supper. His stomach was
growling very loudly, afterall this was during breakfast and it was now supper
time.
He laid in his room, waiting, waiting, time passed by veeeerrrrrry slowly. 1:00,
1:01, 1:02.
"Anytime now something remarkable could happen, it probably won't though"
Harry said doubtfully and walked over to the window. He was opening the
curtains when all the sudden, he jumped back in fright, sweat pouring down
his face, his eyes wide. "What are you doing here?" Harry asked out of fright
and anger.
"Well, let's see, you remember the Hogwarts letter you got a while back.
Well I knew you had no one to accompany you to Diagon Alley so I thought
we could fly there together on our brooms since you haven't passed your
apparation test" The narrator said while sitting on her broom, floating in
midair.
"How'd you know I didn't pass my apparation test?" Harry asked curiously.
"I'm the narrator sweety, it's my job to know. Now are you coming or are
you just gonna sit around sulking all day. Your friends are at Diagon
Alley right at this very moment and the Weasleys said they would be
pleased to take you for the rest of your holiday so you better say "Sayonara"
to the Dursleys 'cause after this moment you won't have to see them ever
again!" The narrator smiled brightly, she knew this was exactly what he
wanted and she saw him absolutely glow.
"Breathing heavily You-You're not...pulling my leg or anything. You-you're
telling me t-the actual truth! I never have to come back here again!" Harry
breathed excitedly.
"Of course! Now hurry up we got to get going before your aunt and uncle
see me, they'll just interfer" The narrator said hurried.
Harry went over to his Firebolt, he picked it up off the floor and went over to the
window. He was just about to get on the broomstick when both Harry and the
narrator heard footsteps coming up the stairs. The footsteps stopped at the door
and the door opened.
"I want you to come down here and fix our son this insta- gasps" Harry's aunt
Petunia had started to say as she came in the room but was overcome with
shock when she had seen the narrator, floating in midair on her broomstick. She got
wobbly and rocked back and forth. She then fainted on the wooden floor, a big
boom was heard after she fell. Another second later, another pair of footsteps
were heard coming up the stairs and a big, beefy man came through the door this
time, this was Harry's uncle Vernon.
"What the devil is going on up here boy?" Vernon demanded, he then looked down
at his wife sprawled on the floor and about had a heart attack! "What did you do to
her, boy?" Vernon yelled. He walked across the room ready to strangle Harry. The
narrator got off her broom and got in between the two.
"It's not his fault, she saw me floating in midair on my broom and fainted now
back off!" She snarled at Vernon."I'm going to take the boy and leave. So just
calm down she's perfectly fine!"
Vernon didn't know what to do! He was absolutely baffled! This girl had just appeared
out of no where and was screaming at him.
"You want him, take him, but at least fix my son first, the boy turned him into a parrot"
Vernon said trying to calm down, but his veins still pounding hard.
The narrator turned to look back at Harry. "You turned your cousin into a
parrot?" Harry nodded slowly, he knew he was in trouble now. "Hehehe,
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA" Both of them were looking at the
girl as though she had gone absolutely nuts! "You turned your cousin into
a PARROT! I didn't know you were capable of such a thing, that's totally
awesome!".
"THERE IS NOTHING HILARIOUS ABOUT MY SON BEING TURNED
INTO A BIRD!" Vernon yelled so loud he broke the narrator's ears.
"Calm down! I'll turn him back to normal! Rolls eyes Typical parent,
always spoils all the fun" And she snapped her fingers and her job was done.
"Your son should be back to normal, although he doesn't deserve it! He's
a spoiled brat and you two spoil him to no end while torturing Harry to
no end! You deserve to have such a curse, but I shall let it go this one time
since I'm feeling nice today. Come on Harry, lets go!"
The two both got on their brooms and flew far away to where the Dursleys and
their ugly house could not be seen anymore.
"Wait! We have to go back" Harry yelled panicked.
"Don't worry about your trunk! I already transported it to the Weasley's.
All of your possessions are there so you don't have to worry. Now don't
daddle we need to get to Diagon Alley and fast there are others that need
my help to get there!" The narrator yelled back as they headed towards
their destination. (Yes! She can read minds)
The narrator opened another vortex, like the one she had used in the last chapter
and both of them disappeared, never to be seen around Privet Dr. again. They
appeared right above Diagon Alley, you could see all the shops and stores.
The people were starring up at them, some of the little kids pointed excitedly.
"Now we just need to find the Weasleys...there they are!" The narrator had
located the group of red heads below and, with Harry right beside her,
dived down in front of them.
As they landed the narrator noticed there was a brown haired girl with the
group of red heads and she knew this girl was not a part of the family. There
was also a tall man about the size of a giant that had a body that hoovered over
all of them.They were all shocked at first, but calmed down once they saw Harry.
"Harry, dear, there you are we were wondering where you were. We started to
worry something had happened to you" Molly Weasley said with a sweet voice.
The narrator was happy to see that Molly treated Harry like one of her own
children. It was almost like he had a mother of his own, almost.
"Oh, Harry I'm so glad to see you, I had been worried about you all holiday, I
hope your well" The girl with brown hair said with joy, she was definately
glad to see him, probably one of his friends.
"Hey mate, hope the muggles treated you alright" One of the red haired boys said,
this was obviously another friend of Harry's.
"I've been doing good, can't say I enjoyed being with the muggles, but at least I'll
never have to see them again" Harry said gladly, the narrator had never seen him
so happy before. "Sorry I took so long, had a little trouble with my aunt and uncle.
It's good to see you all".
"That's quite alright Harry, don't worry, you're in good hands now" This time it was
the giant who had spoke, he seemed fierce, but you could tell he had a gentle side.
"By the way, are you the one Hogwarts sent to get him". The giant asked the
narrator kindly.
"Sure am Mr.-"
"Rubeus Hagrid. Call me Hagrid, everyone does" The giant introduced himself.
"And I'm Molly Weasley, I'm the one you spoke to earlier" Molly said kindly.
"Ah yes, I remember now, good to see you again, Mrs. Weasley, and this
must be your husband and kids you told me about" The narrator replied.
"Yes, this is Arthur" she indicated to a red haired man that was a little bald on
top."And these are my son and daughter, Ron and Ginny. Of course, I have
more children, but they're not here at the moment. And this is Ron and Harry's
friend, Hermione Granger who will be staying with us for the rest of the holiday"
She indicated to all the children.
"Well nice to meet you all, I'd stay longer, but I'm on a busy schedule. I
must be going!" The narrator said as she got on her broomstick. She
floated higher and higher until the people looked like ants and just as she
left she could see the group waving to her as she left. She opened another
vortex and zoomed through it on her broom and disappeared.
Train heading for Diagon Alley
The FMA gang was sitting in a few of the passanger seats on the train heading
for their nex destination. Ed, Al and Winry had two seats to themselves, they
were talking about their childhood, back when Ed and Al's mother was still alive.
"It's a good thing I'm coming with you, with as many times as you break yourself,
Edward" Winry was saying as they traveled farther in the train.
"Heh, you could be right Winry, afterall whenever I'm broken I can't use alchemy
and that's a big disadvantage, plus I can't fix Al if he needs to be fixed" Ed agreed,
though, how could he disagree with those beautiful, blue eyes and those soft lips.
Ed wanted so much to kiss those soft lip and take that body that belonged to a
goddess and wrap it around his arms. While daydreaming Ed had gotten a sort of
glazed look and stared at Winry the whole time.
"Ed...Ed...Edward, are you feeling okay?" Winry asked with concern. She had no
idea what had gotten into him lately. He seemed so shy whenever he was around
her and acted really strange, gazing at her as though looking into space.
"Yea, I'm okay, just thinking" Ed replied, snapping out of his daydream.
"You shouldn't do that, Ed, thinking could be a dangerous thing, it might cause your
brain to melt" Mustang said in the seat across from them. Giving an innocent smile
that said quite clearly, "I didn't do anything".
"Shut up Mustang! This isn't your buisness!" Ed yelled back.
"It's not my fault if you talk loud enough so that everyone can hear you" Mustang
said calmly. He was sitting in a seat that was right in front of Riza Hawkeye.
Mustang didn't want to admit it, but Riza was really pretty, in fact he would give
anything to just have one date with her. He knew she would never go for it
though. (That's what he thinks)
"Um, sir, don't you think there are more pressing matters that we should discuss,
for instance, why are we the only ones on this train? Doesn't this seem a little
strange to you?" Riza interrupted, she knew if she let this arguement go on any
further it might get pretty ugly.
"Well...I suppose, but it's not really that strange" Roy said, a little confused as
to why this made her so feel so uncomfortable.
"Yes, but also you have to consider the fact that none of us have heard of this
Diagon Alley or Hogwarts. Don't you think it's wierd that they had it in the
letter that this was a school for witchcraft and wizardry?" Riza asked getting
more uncomfortable by the minute.
"Relax Hawkeye, it's just a train ride and I'm sure that whoever gave us those
letters is joking I mean afterall we all know that there is no such thing as
witchcraft and wizardry and all that nonsense" Roy said confidently, but for
some reason, couldn't shake the feeling that maybe it was real.
"Yes my comrades, there is nothing to fear as long as you have Alex Louis
Armstrong with you" Armstrong yelled out in the seat he had by himself, his
usual little sparkles shining around his face. He had a letter just like the rest of
them, but when the gang first saw it they thought about flushing it down the toilet.
Unfortanately, Armstrong saw the letter before they had a chance and of course
accepted and went along.
Armstrong was annoying, but he wasn't as annoying as Maes Hughes had been,
still going on about his beloved daughter, Elysia. (He's so predictable) And of
course Brieda, Furey, Havoc and Falman were just having a discussion about the
war that was going on in Ishbal. (It was tragic).
"I'm going to go up front to ask the conductor how much longer it's going to take
to get to Diagon Alley" Al said as he started to get up.
"Do you want me to go with you Al?" Ed asked.
"No, I'll be fine brother. This shouldn't take too long" Al said as he made his was to
the door. He slid open the second compartment in the train and couldn't believe his
eyes! There were more people sitting in this compartment. Two girls, both with really
pretty black hair. One had a green and white uniform on and the other wore a kimono
that fit her perfectly. Sitting across from the two girls was a man with black hair and
a small ponytail and next to him sat a man with silver hair, yellow eyes, and...dog
ears! There were also two creatures on the ground playing together. One looked like
a cat and the other was a sort of fox only he had the face of a child. There was also a
man that had black hair and wore fur for clothing.
"Gasps Brother come quick, you have to see this!" Al yelled with a shocked
surprise.
The people in the compartment noticed Al for the first time and were surprised
to see him as well.
"Hey! Who the hell are you and what are you doing on this train?" The man with
dog ears asked.
"Don't worry, Kagome I'll take care of this guy" Said the man that wore the furs.
Apparently he was talking to the girl that wore the green and white uniform.
"Leave him alone Koga, he hasn't done anything to us" Kagome said to the man
with furs.
"Yea, besides wolf, I'll be the first to take him down" The man with dog ears had
spoken this time. He drew out a gigantic sword and started heading for Al.
"AHHHHHHH!" Al screamed as the man got closer.
"Sit, boy!" Kagome yelled. The man with the dog ears had all the sudden collapesed
on the floor. A necklace that he was wearing was now glowing.
"Alphonse! Are you okay?" Ed had come into the compartment.
"Brother!" Al was happy to see his brother. He was really worried that he was
going to die.
"What the hell do you think your doing to my brother?" Ed raged at the man laying
on the ground.
"I'm sorry. He was only trying to protect me" Kagome explained. "He can be a little
hotheaded sometimes. My name's Kagome by the way and this is Inuyasha"
Ed seemed to calm down a little bit. Mustang and the others soon came to the
door to see what the commotion was all about.
"I should introduce you to the rest of my friends, this is Sango" She indicated to the
girl with the kimono."Miroku" The man with the small ponytail."Shippo" The little fox
that looked like a boy. "Kirara" The little cat animal "and Koga" The man with the
furs.
They were all still in shock, Ed didn't know what to think. Al was still afraid of
Inuyasha and couldn't move. So Mustang decided he'd take over.
"Hello, I'm Roy Mustang, nice to meet you. These two are Edward and Alphonse
Elric, these people behind me are Riza Hawkeye, Cain Furey, Maes Hughes,
Brieda, Fallman and Alex Louis Armstrong" Roy introduced each of them.
"Nice to meet you all. Are you heading to Diagon Alley as well?" Kagome
asked trying to change the subject.
The FMA gang looked at her with surprise.
"Yea, actually, we are and we thought we were the only ones on this train
heading there" Ed said completely confused.
"So did we" Sango said as she headed over.
"Hmm" all them said.
"I was just about to ask the conductor how much longer it would take to
get there" Al said.
"I think I'll go with you, I want to know when I can finally get off this stupid
contraption" Inuyasha replied. Al shook, he didn't really want Inuyasha to go
with him, he was still scared of him after the attack.
"Why don't I go with you both? Al gets nervous on trains" Ed offered, he knew
his brother was still scared to be around Inuyasha.
"Alright then lets get going" Inuyasha said impatiently
As the two Elric brothers and Inuyasha left the compartment the others started
to talk and get to know each other and see if each knew more about Diagon
Alley or Hogwarts.
They slid open the compartment door and walked into this next compartment
and what they saw next they couldn't believe. This part of the train looked more
like a ship and the window revealed a scenic view of the train being underwater,
but there was no way this train could be underwater, right? Wrong! It is very
possible.
"What the hell is going on around here!" Ed and Inuyasha yelled at the same
time. This was just getting too crazy!
"Hi there!" A boy with a straw hat said as he came over, there were four other
people behind him, a girl and the rest boys. They were probably just a few years
older than Ed. "Can we help you?".
"You could tell us what's going on" Inuyasha said impaciently.
"Don't you know?" Said one of the boys, he had three swords around his waist.
Were heading to Diagon Alley".
"I mean, why are we underwater?" Ed said losing his patience very quickly.
"Because, that's what the narrator put and what the narrator says, goes"
The girl said to Ed, she wondered why Ed couldn't figure this out himself.
"Of course, the narrator, I should have known!" Ed said going into rage.
"WHO DOES THINK SHE IS! TURNING OUR WORLD INTO TOTAL
MADNESS! I'VE ABOUT HAD IT! I'M GOING TO FIND HER AND
TELL HER TO KNOCK IT OFF!"
"Brother, calm down, we're not dead and we still have each other that's the
most important thing" Al said trying to calm Ed down.
"Feh, whatever, I just want to get off this stupid thing" Inuyasha said with
ignorance.
"Well, maybe you could try the next compartment" Another boy suggested,
this one had a long nose.
"By the way, before you leave, let me introduce you to my crew" The boy with
the straw hat said politely. "That's Zolo" he pointed to the man with three
swords around his waist. "Nami" the girl in the back. "Usopp" the boy with the
long nose. "Sanji" a boy they hadn't seen until now, he had a sucker in his mouth
and his blond hair covered one of his eyes. "and I'm Monkey D. Luffy, but you
can call me Luffy".
"Nice to meet you, I'm Al and this is my brother Ed and his name is Inuyasha.
We're going up front to see the conductor and ask how much longer it's going
to take to get to Diagon Alley" Al explained to Luffy.
"Cool, can I come" Luffy asked
"No way, kid, you'll slow us down" Inuyasha said rudely without giving it a
second thought.
"Well I'm coming whether you like it or not" Luffy said, he wasn't going to
give up that easily.
"Sigh We might as well let him come" Ed said, he wasn't going to waste his
time arguing with this kid he had better things to do.
"Yea! alright!"
"Don't take too long Luffy, we'll probably be there pretty soon" Nami reminded
him
"Don't worry, Nami, I'll be back before you know it!" Luffy said excitedly
They headed into the next compartment without another word said.
Let's see if you can guess which group is in the next compartment. One minute
on the clock and...go! Narrator starts humming the tune that they play on Jepordy
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1 Buzz Time's up! Lets see if you guessed right.
You got a 50/50 chance! Naruto or Yuyu Hakusho?
This next compartment was like being outside. There was a field of grass and
trees (this is my story, anything is possible). The four of them were in the middle
of it.
"Where's the door?" Al asked
"WHAT?" Ed and Inuyasha cried.
"HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH" Luffy laughed so hard he was rolling on the
ground, his sides hurting him. "Oh this is too great, this narrator is so hilarious!"
"SHUT UP!" Ed and Inuyasha cried.
All the sudden they heard the sound of leaves rustling and footsteps quickly
moving towards them. Shadows of people could be seen through the trees.
"Let me handle this!" Inuyasha said, he was just about to take out his
sword out when in the blink of an eye he was tied up in rope.
"Inuyasha!" Ed and Al cried.
"Laughs You look hilarious tied up" Luffy said between laughs.
"This is not the time for laughing Luffy! We have to get Inuyasha untied and
figure out how to get out of he-ahhhhhhhhh!" Ed was walking towards Inuyasha,
about to untie him when he fell through a hole!
"Brother!"
"Stop Al! Don't move! There are probably tons of traps spread out!" Ed cried to his
brother.
The shadowy figures were getting closer and closer soon they enclosed them in a
circle of shadowy blurs, then finally, they stopped. The four of them were in a circle
of people in black cloaks. In sync, they removed these black cloaks to reveal several
people, mostly kids around Ed and Al's age. There were four boys that stood together
two of them had black hair, one wore a green suit and the other, black clothes with a
white sash covering his forehead. The other two had red hair, one had a gangster look,
his hair in a funny style and wearing a blue suit. The other boy wore a dark purple suit.
There were also three younger children standing together, two boys and one girl. One
boy had black hair, wore a blue shirt and white shorts, the other one was blond and
wore a orange and blue jacket and orange pants. The girl had pink hair and wore a
sort of red kimono. There was a man close to them who had white hair, but was still
young, he wore a black shirt and pants and wore a green vest over the shirt. An older
lady with wavy light, purple hair stood close to the four boys, she was shorter than the
rest and lastly a man stood next to her. He had dark brown hair that was short. (Haha!
Fooled you! It was both groups! 8P Audience glares angrily at the narrator Hey! It's
your own faults! You should have listened to the characters in my fic, they know I'm
crazy! Sighs There's just no pleasing you people! Now returning to story!)
"What are you four doing here?" The man with dark brown hair asked, ready to
attack if he needed to.
"We're just looking for the conductor" Al responded, "Please don't hurt us, we just
want to know if were getting close to Diagon Alley" He pleaded.
"You're heading to Diagon Alley as well?" The boy in the dark red suit asked.
"Yes, please, we do not wish to fight you" Al reasoned.
"Speak for yourself!" Inuyasha spat. "I'll take on all of you if I have to!" He was
still pretty mad after being tied up, the wierd part is he normally would have been
able to tear these ropes to pieces by now, but for some reason the rope seemed
like rubber, it just wouldn't break!
"That's a special rope your tied with, I wouldn't try anything if I were you" The boy
that wore the dark clothes spoke this time.
"We might as well let them go," The short, old lady with wavey, light purple hair
said, "I don't think they mean us any harm and if they try anything funny, we'll
kill them"
Al was definately scared now, she said that so calmly, as though killing a
person was no big deal.
The groups decided to untie Inuyasha, after he had calmed down a little and they
got Ed out of the trap hole.
"Why don't we introduce ourselves to you and then maybe this won't seem so
strange" The man with white hair said, "My name is Kakashi, this is Naruto"
he indicated to the boy with blond hair. "Sasuke" the boy with black hair. "and
Sakura" the girl with the pink hair. "We are all from the Village Hidden in the
Leaves. You've probably never heard of it before though. Genkai, would you
like to do the honors of introducing you and your group" He asked the old lady
with light purple hair.
"Of course, as Kakashi said I'm Genkai. This is one of my students and spirit
detective, Yusuke Urameshi" she indicated to the boy wearing the green suit.
"That there is Kazuma Kuwabara" the boy with the wierd hair style. "Kurama"
the boy wearing the dark purple suit. "Hiei" the boy in black clothing and wore
a white sash over his forehead. "and Koenma" the man with the dark brown
hair.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm Al and this is my brother Ed. This is
Inuyasha and Monkey D. Luffy" Al introduced. "We hate to rush, but we
need to get to the conductor"
"That's quite alright, the door to the conductor should be right over there"
Genkai pointed over her left shoulder and there was the door!
"Thanks a lot old lady!" Luffy said
"No problem, just don't call me old lady, my name is Genkai"
The four head over to the door, when they finally reached it they slid it
open and walked right in and the door slid shut right behind them. What they
saw next almost gave them a heart attack!
This room was all pink and had blue clouds. It was a gigantic bedroom! And
there in the back of the room was a king sized bed with the narrator laying on
it!
The four rushed over to see the sleeping narrator and there were the controls
to the train. Since the narrator didn't know the first thing about trains she had
buttons that said "Go, Stop, Fast, Slow, Emergency, Breakfast, Lunch, Supper,
Playtime and Bedtime"
"Wow, how cool!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Uh? Huh? Yawn What's going on?" The narrator said as she stirred from
her slumber. "Well hello! What are you all doing here?"
"What do you think! What the hell is the matter with you! Messing with our
world like this!" Ed was flustered, with the strangeness going on I guess anyone
would feel the same way.
"Edward, calm down! Once this story is over you can all go back to your
regular lives, but until then... Casts a mischievious grin I'm in control!
"Grr! You can't be serious!" Ed screamed.
"Oh, I'm very serious! And if you don't like it too bad! Just remember Edward,
I can make you enjoy being in this fanfic afterall, I am the all powerful nar-"
"Yeah, yeah, we get it already!" Inuyasha interupted.
"Oh, Inuyasha! I'm glad to see you! I thought you wouldn't accept my offer of
going to Hogwarts"
"Feh, I only did it because Kagome gave me those puppy dog eyes and begged
and pleaded"
"Giggles I didn't know Kagome could be so persuasive. Or maybe...it's
because you love her"
"W-what! I d-do not!"
"Singing Kagome and Inuyasha sitting in a tree. Luffy joins in
K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the
baby in the baby carriage"
"CUT IT OUT!" Inuyasha screams at the top of his lungs.
"Ohhh, you're blushing!" The narrator points out. "You must really like her"
"Grrrrr. How about I strangle you!" Inuyasha screams as he takes out his sword
he then starts slashing the narrator to pieces only to find that the sword goes right
through her.
"You forget, I'm the narrator, sooooo your sword has no effect on me"
The narrator reminds him. "Well this has been fun, but we're about to
arrive at Diagon Alley so please go back to your seats"
"Well it was nice seeing you again" Al said weakly.
"Alphonse, I'm sorry, I didn't even notice you were there, I want you to
stay up here with me for just a second, okay. Oh I'm sorry, I ignored you
too, Luffy. It's great to see you again!"
"Good to see you too! Well I better get back to my seat" Luffy said as he waved
and left the room.
"What about me?" Ed asked.
"Like I said before, return to your seat"
"I'm not leaving without Al" Ed said stubbornly.
"Edward, don't make me use force, this is going to be a surprise and I
want both you and Inuyasha to leave"
"Fine, but you better not harm him"
"Edward! What kind of person do you take me for! Alphonse will be
just fine, I promise"
"Well I guess I'll see you later Al, bye" Ed said as he left, he was still worried
about his brother as he and Inuyasha went back to their seats.
10 minutes later
"Edward!"
"Inuyasha!"
"Your back!" Kagome and Winry said as they ran towards them.
"We were wondering what was taking you so long" Kagome said worriedly
"Ed, where's Alphonse?" Winry was worried that something had happened to
him.
"He's fine Winry. He's up front with the narrator"
"The narrator! What's she doing here?"
"Apparently she's the conductor on the train and wanted Al to stay up front
with her. Shrugs shoulders I have no idea why though"
But just as the girls were about to ask more questions a voice that was familiar
to all the passangers was heard through the intercom on the train compartments.
"Attention! Attention! We will be arriving at Diagon Alley in 10 minutes
please go to your original seats now. Once we get to our destination we
will depart and you must leave any luggage that you brought here unless
unless it is a purse or wallet, then please take it with you. I hope you
enjoyed your time on the Mysterious Train Express and have a lovely day.
Thank You!"
"Come on Inuyasha, we better return to our seats! Nice chatting with you
Winry!" And Kagome and Inuyasha left to go to their compartment.
"We better do the same Ed" And they left for their compartment as well.
They slid open the door to find that nearly everyone had fallen asleep except
for Mustang and Hawkeye.
"So Ed, how did it go?" Mustang asked with a smirk
"How do you think? It was a complete waste of time! And I learned that the
narrator of this fic is a complete nutjob!"
"Ed, I'm surprised! I thought you knew that already!" Mustang said smoothly.
"Yeah, laugh it up smartass"
"Calm down Ed, by the way, where's your brother? You two are practically
inseperable" Mustang asked, he wondered if maybe they had a fight.
"He's up front with the narrator, I don't know what they're doing up there, but
the narrator sure didn't want me to find out about it"
The intercom came on once again.
"Attention! Attention! We are about to stop at the station, please remain
in your seats, I will be starting the countdown, you will have 10 seconds
to get in your seats and believe me, you don't want to be standing when
the train stops-"
"Countdown! What countdown!"
"Ed, sit down!" Winry took Ed by the arm and pulled him into his seat.
"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!"
All the sudden the train comes to a sudden stop. All the passangers are flinged
right into the cusions of the seats their faces and backs smushed. The FMA
group was definetely awake now! Hehe.
"Please watch your step and have a nice day!"
The passangers all groaned as they got off the train. They were sore from the
sudden stop.
"Hi guys! Enjoy your trip?"
Passangers and audience groans
"Guess not. Okay first of all, I want the FMA group to come with me for
a second" The narrator said, a knowledgeable gleam in her eyes. "I think
you'll like this surprise, especially you, Edward"
They rounded the corner where the rest of the groups couldn't see them and she
led them into the bedroom she had on the train. There was a small boy with light
brown hair sitting on the bed, he had a wide smile on his face and his blue eyes
were gleaming with a child's innocence.
"Al-Alphonse?" Ed breathed heavily as his heart pounded with astonishment and
shock. He couldn't believe it! Was his brother actually back to flesh and blood?
Was he no longer in that cursed suit of armor, the only thing that kept his soul to
this earth? No, this must be a dream! How could it be possible?
"Oh it's very possible, Edward, that is your brother, the way he use to be
before that little incident. You see, while I was chatting with you and
your brother, I read both of your minds and Edward, I saw how much you
loved your brother. I could see this was your deepest wish. You see, I have
a brother of my own and I would do anything for him. I saw your
compassion and I thought it was very thoughtful of you to care so much for
your brother. So turned him into his regular form" She looked at Ed and
was glad to see him so happy.
"But-but, how?" Ed was astounded.
"Um, hello, has the word "nar-ra-tor" not grasped you. I can do anything
in this story" The narrator said starting to get tired of having to keep
explaining this concept.
"But, there's one more thing. You said on the train, you said that you only
controlled this story until the end, does that mean that Al will turn back to how
he was" Ed said hoping he hadn't guessed right.
"Unfortanately, Edward, yes and you won't remember this ever happened either,
after this story is over you will all return to the way you were. I'm sorry, but look
at the bright side, at least this story is far from being over, so enjoy it while you
can you two, okay" The narrator said with sympathy. It broke her heart to have
to tell Ed the bad news, but he had to know.
"That's alright, I'm just happy that Al's back to himself even if it is only temperary"
Ed said with understanding.
So the group left the bedroom and joined the other groups. The narrator guided them
into Diagon Alley.
"Now first you're all going to have to get money out so that you can get what you
need for the school year and since I'm the narrator, you all have vaults with wizard
money. You have just enough to buy everything you need for one year and a little
extra"
She took each of the groups to Gringotts to get there money so they could buy
everything for school. Once they were done each group went to a different store.
"Hey Al, why don't we go get our books first"
"Okay brother"
"We might as well go along to make sure they don't get in trouble" Mustang said
with a smirk"
And just like that, they were off to Flourish & Blotts to get their books.
"Hey! Winry! Would you like to go with me and Sango to get our school robes?"
Kagome asked Winry.
"Sure!" Winry replied excitedly
"Mind if we go as well?" A girl with blue hair asked.
"Sure, you can come, but first who are you?" Kagome asked curiously, she hadn't
seen these girls before.
"Oh, forgive us. My name is Yukina and these are my friends, Shizuru, Botan and
Kayko" She introduced.
"Nice to meet you!" Kagome, Sango and Kagome said to the girls.
"Mind if I come along also? My name's Nami by the way"
"Sure, let's go!"
"Would you ladies like us to join you?" Miroku asked as he rubbed all the girls
butts. And he paid dearly for it. He was smacked silly by tons of slaps on
the face.
"Excuse my male gender ladies, I don't know why he does that"
"Forget it Sanji, you're not coming either" Nami said, knowing all too well how
he reacted around beautiful women. (The pervert and the casanova strike out
again hehe)
"Come on! Let's go get our wands!"
"Naruto will you calm down!"
"No way Sakura, I want to go now!" Naruto said as he started to run towards
Ollivanders.
"Hey loser, the wand shop is the other way!" Sasuke yelled to Naruto.
"Oh right! I knew that! I-uh-was...just testing you!"
"You're so wierd Naruto it sometimes scares me"
So the three Genin headed towards the wand shop to get their wands. Kakashi
decided he would go with Genkai and Koenma to the Apothecary to get potion
ingrediants, plus they just wanted to get away from all the rambuctious children!
The rest of the boys, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sanji, Usopp, Zolo, Luffy, Yusuke,
Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Shippo and Koga decided to go to Eeylops Owl
Emporium to get the animal that they wanted.
The narrator walked around a bit. It was so exciting to actually be on the streets
of Diagon Alley. To see the stores with tons of magical substances inside. It filled
her heart with joy to know that this was no dream.
As she walked in a daze she bumped into a person wearing an overcoat and a top
hat. They both fell to the ground.
"Ouch! Sorry about that I wasn't paying atten-"
She didn't know why, but for some reason there was a very cold vibe coming from
this person. It was so strange. Her insides felt frozen, her breath shallow.
"Watch where you're going!" The cloaked person said with a gruff voice and ran
off.
"How strange! That person is no ordinary human being. I couldn't read their
mind, but there was definetely a bad aura around them. Hmmm" The narrator
pondered about this the whole time wondering who or what that person was.
6 hours later
The narrator went around trying to gather everyone at the train. Once they were
all there and had what they needed for school they all got back on the Mysterious
Train Express except the girls decided to sit with each other this time and the boys
sat with each and Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Genkai and Koenma had a
compartment to themselves. Ed and Al were still in the same compartment with the
rest of the FMA gang. After they departed, Ed noticed Winry wasn't there.
"Al, do you know where Winry is?"
"I think she's sitting in another compartment with the rest of the girls"
"Hmm, well it's good that she made some new friends" But deep in his heart he was
disappointed. He really wanted Winry to sit with them, but decided it best to let her
sit with her new friends.
The Mysterious Train Express rolled on the tracks farther and farther until the people
that were still shopping could no longer see them. The sun had set over the horizon and
by midnight all the groups got back home, waiting in excitement, for Hogwarts school
was soon to start!
Yay! 4th chapter complete! The sorting will be in the next chapter! Btw, if any of you
readers and reviewers are interested, I would like some people to volunteer for the
sorting. I will have your name on the story. You can put your penname or your real
name it doesn't matter. Also, I'd like you to put which house you want to be sorted into.
