Edward sat on his chair dangling his legs as he held Al close and cheerfully ate his breakfast. Their guest Harry sat across from him talking to his brother Ron about quidditch as the twins sat on Ed's left and his mom sat on his right praising percy on his latest achievement. Icarus sat by his master's feet eating a bowl of tuna purring. Ed looked down at him and smiled as he offered the cat some bacon as well which the red eyed cat took with out a moments hesitation. "Edward dear don't feed Icarus your food. He has his own." Molly said sternly without looking over at him. Edward nodded but gave the cat another one none the less. Molly opened her mouth to lecture him further but stopped when she heard the screech of an owl . They all turned to see Errol crash into the window and drop a couple small bundles of envelopes.

"Ugg he is always doing that!" ron said with distaste as Edward tried to suppress a snicker and percy retrieved the letters. "Oh, look its our Hogwarts letters." Percy stated as he looked them over. "It looks like he sent us Harry's as well." he replied as he handed the letters out but stopped and stared confusedly at a remaining letter. "and... Edward's as well...?" he asked uncertain. The Weasly's all turned to look at Edward who was once again in his own little world staring blankly at his food.
"Are you sure that you read that right dear?" Molly asked in disbelief as she gently took the letter from Percy and looked at herself and sure enough it was for him.

Dear Mr. E. Elric,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your arrival where due to your IQ and skills will be place in second year.
Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

Molly looked it over twice in disbelief sure Edward was a wizard but...was he really old enough to be going to school? Well either way who was she to question Dumbledore? "It seems the majority of the books are going to be expensive." One of the twins stated awaking Molly from her thoughts. She patted one of the twins head absentmindedly as Harry looked away guiltily. After all unlike them he had been fortunent to inherit a fortune from his parents that made him set for life. Molly went over and knelt down in front of Edward who was playing with his Al. "Well Well Eddy it looks like you get to go to school with your big brothers this year aren't you excited?" Molly gushed at Ed who lowered his toy to stare quizzically up at his surrogate mother. "School?" He repeated slowly as if digesting the word. "...to...learn..with...big brothers?" He asked slowly to which the others nodded warmly.

"Yes, thats right darling." Molly answered sweetly as she played with his hair. "You and your brothers would be living there like big boys."
"

Will...you..be there?" Edward asked uncertainly.

"No sweetie i won't but Ron,Percy,Fred, George and even ginny and harry will be there. It will be like a big slumber party and than when summer comes I will come and pick you all up." Molly replied starting to wonder if him going to school would be a good idea. Edward seemed to consider what Molly had said for a moment before posing another question. "What will i learn?" He asked curiously.

He honestly remembered very little about school..He could recall that it was important and that it was a place where you learned skills and how to do things but it was all very vague to him.

"Why magic of course." Percy answered stiffly before his mother could. Edward seemed to brighten up at this. In his time with the Weaslys he had been fascinated by magic and when he found out he had skills he would use it on occasion; more often than not it seemed on accident based on his moods. His family had assured him that it was not his fault and that it was only because he was young still but would, as soon as he was older have more control. Who knows maybe this school could help him with that. He than recalled what interested him more than magic, Alchemy. 'Would they be able to teach me that too?' He thought silently. "Alchemy too?" He asked hopefully, voicing his thoughts aloud.

"Well you will have to wait and see." Molly said with a small smile.

"But mom...how are we going to afford all of us this year?" Percy protested.

"I am sure it will be fine Percy." Molly assured off handedly. "Well." she said clapping her hands togeather. "there is only one place we can go to get all we need..Diagon ally."

A few minutes later they all took turns using floo powder to travel there. Ron went first to show Harry how to do it..However much to Edward's amusement Harry had clearly said it wrong and ended up lord knows where. Idiot. They ended up spending a good half hour looking for the poor boy and by the time they did find him he was covered in dirt and looking mildly startled over something. He was walking with A bushy brown haired girl into the book shop Ed and the other Weaslys were in.

Ed's pov
I ignored my family as they pampered that stupid Harry as I watched a pompous looking blonde haired man stepped up on a platform and people clapped. It was that big time celebrity Gildroy Lockheart that my mum and sister seemed to be obsessed with. I wondered why he was here. I was awoken from my thoughts by the guy calling Harry up to the podium. I wondered how he knew Harry as the man handed Harry a huge stack of books only to shoo him down. Mom took the books from him and tried to shoo us out. We didn't get far though. For the moment we were near the door a skinny blonde pale skinned boy stepped in front of us.
"I bet you liked that Potter! Famous Harry Potter can't walk into a book store without making the first page." The boy said disgusted. I nodded slowly agreeing. Harry did seem to be a popular one for sure..although i was not entirely sure he enjoyed it. Speaking of enjoying... neither Harry's friend Hermione or my family seemed to enjoy this boys company...although i couldn't blame them..He seemed like a real bastard to me. " I opened my mouth to say something but found myself being interupted by an adult male i assumed was the other boys father. A quick introduction confirmed my theory. Than to my surprise Mr. Malfoy pushed Harry's head back and revealed a lighting shaped scar on his forehead. " Your scar is legend as is of course the lord that gave it to you." The man purred to a throughly pissed off Harry.
I giggled at the mans statement.. I just couldn't help it...what the man said was ridiculous! Everyone turned to me as if remembering my presence. Mr. Malfoy glared at me. "You impudent child what are you laughing about?" He demanded loudly startling me. I nearly hid behind Ron but i stayed rooted where i was with a smirk on my face.
npov
"Your...such...a fucking moron!" Edwar stated in his broken speech causing the weasley siblings to look at him in surprise. The Malfoy's on the other hand...were not amused.

"Edward!" Ginny scolded. True they didn't like the Malfoy's but there was still no reason for such language.
"Hmm I would tell his parents to raise this boy a little more strictly if i were you." The Malfoy head said coldly as he glared at the small group. Realization hit him and a sneer crept across his pale face. "Hn...red hair vacant expressions... you must be the Weasley's. Pathetic." He sneered to which they glared at him. "Real question is..whose kid this child is." he pondered tapping his chin. "He is our brother." Ron said firmly as he gently grabbed Edward's hand pulled him behind him for protection. He didn't like the way Malfoy was looking at Edward. He was saved from further discomfort by his dad, who, after exchanging a few polite but apprehensive words with the Malfoys, ushered them out.

(AN) This wand scene is all envy i forgot to put it in..)

One by one, the Weaselys walked into Ollivanders, each person having they're own feeling of Nostalgia, though Edward stayed behind everyone, just staring at all the boxes stacked across the multiple shelves. Soft clacks were heard as a small, portly man with long ears and graying hair made his way to the front of the store. Having heard the bell that took residence on the door to alert the owner of guests in the small shop, he was excited as to who his new customers would be.

The man flicked his eyes to the door in excitement only top be disappointed, nonetheless his spirits didn't drop as much as you'd expect from someone who loves seeing new people.

"Ah, the Weasleys, I remember how chaotic your wands were, all of yours." He looked pointedly at the twins; they gave a sheepish grin back at the old man. He smiled a bit and turned toward the dark haired boy that stood next to the two youngest red heads. "And of course I wouldn't forget you, Mr. Potter." He beamed. Harry looked at the portly man sheepishly.

"Nor I you, Mr. Ollivander." Harry replied. He rubbed the back of his head as Ron and the twins slightly snickered at Harry's embarrassment. Ollivannder quickly turned back to look at Molly and her husband Arthur.

"So, do what do I owe the pleasure, hm?" Arthur beamed brightly and turned to pull Edward from behind the family. He had the blonde stand right in front of the shorter man, his golden eyes widened a bit at the gray haired mans matching iris color.

"This is our adoptive son, Edward Elric. It's time he got his wand, and just in time for school, too." The red haired mans smile was delighted as Ollivander nodded fondly. He took a closer look at Ed and, just like he was pushed away by a repulsive stench, turned sharply on his heel and made his way to the tall, oak desk that sat in the front part of the shop.

He rummaged through a small cupboard and came back to Ed, wand in hand, and tapped his head once sharply with the firm piece of equipment. "Now, boy, hold out your wand hand." The portly man had his eyes searching the boy from head to toe, for what reason though, Ed couldn't fathom.

"My…wand hand?" Edward said in his broken speech pattern. Ollivander nodded and waited patiently for Ed to stretch out his hand to be inspected by the magic tape measure now floating around the shorter of the two golden eyed males. The blonde of the two looked to his adoptive father, who, in turn, lightly pushed Edward's right hand forward. The boy understood now; his 'wand hand', was his 'writing hand'.

Ollivander nodded sharply and began to examine Ed's hand whole, the tape measure took note of every length it could possibly find on the blondes right appendage. Ed looked confused as the man in front of him pondered something, and then swiftly turned towards the multiple shelves and rows of boxes.

As Ollivander waddled up one ladder and pushed it to another that led him higher up on the shelves, Ed pondered why exactly he needed something like this. Of course he knew what it did, but why did it have to be a stick that channeled ones magic? Why not some kind of pendant or…array?

"Here you are my boy, 11 in. blood wood core of a unicorn hair." The blonde eyed the wand warily, his gaze calculating. The shorter of the two started tapping his foot. "Well com on now, pick it up and give it a wave." Ed looked at the man before him and reached for the wand, hoping for reassurance from the item itself.

"Ka!" Ed's hand retracted so fast no one saw him even touch the wand. Ed's right ring finger had a slight welt making itself known on the tip; the wand had just barely burned him. The gray haired man started to mumble under his breath. Putting the lid back on the sapphire colored box, he made his way towards another shelf on the opposite side of the room, dropping the previous box on his desk.

He came back once more with his eyes slightly narrowed, like he was uncertain to let the blonde try this specific wand. He removed the lid and revealed an almost white yellow wooded wand.

"Try this one, 9 in. Crocodile wood core of a Phoenix feather." Edward was even more wary as he slowly reached for the wand, and, grasping it in his hand, he waited for the burning to start.

It didn't.

Ed's eyes were wide as he brought the wand to about chest length and waved it. Small blue sparks shot everywhere, shooting at random things like books and other odd utensils in the shop. A sweet, warming feeling formed in the blonde's stomach and spread through his whole body, making him smile in contentment and letting a small flicker of life reside in his eyes.

The small, portly man nodded in approval and signaled for the boy to put the wand back in the box which, however reluctant he was to do so, he complied with. Ollivander closed the box shut and slipped a velvet to the touch bag over the container. He waddled his way to the big oak desk and sat himself atop a tall stool so he could see over the top of the wooden piece of furniture.

"How much will the wand be?" Molly asked slightly worriedly. Ollivander let his golden irises scamper from one Weasley to the next, never letting either show emotion to the group. The short man sighed and, begrudgingly, gave his answer.

"As annoyed as I am to do this, I know your family doesn't make much, and with another wand you can't really afford both so…I'll give you this one on the house on one condition ." His eyes slowly drifted to Edward and he looked confusedly up at the other golden eyes male.

"…What…is the…condi…tion?...Mr…Olli….vander….?" Edward spoke to the man with the piercing gaze. He smiled slightly, letting a little warmth come to his wrinkled face.

"Promise me you'll use this wisely and not end up doing what your father did." Ed's eyes sharpened a bit and the Weasleys looked at the young blonde. The irises that had held a bit of life for no more than a second and they became clouded once more as they're wielder spoke once again in his broken speech pattern.

"But….I do…n't know who….my fa-" His words were cut off by a raised hand from the old man on the stool.

"Ah ah, just promise me alright?" His words echoed around the room, while Edward contemplated the man's words. He looked to the people around the room, he nodded once and looked at the golden eyed man.

"Al…right….I prom…ise." Ollivander nodded and gave the box to Molly, who, in turn, gave it to Arthur for safe keeping. The gray haired man then clapped his hands and hopped off the stool.

"Now then! I believe we have another wand to find today! You I presume young lady?" The portly man pointed at Ginny who nodded dumbly and stuck out her left hand for him to examine.

Edward just tuned out the rest of the visit; his eyes could only focus on the box under Arthurs arm. 'What's so special about my father…?'

A couple days later it was time to go to Hogwarts. Edward was getting nervous and found himself holding tightly to Icarus who hung attentively in his arms purring. His stuffed suite of armor Al now had a strap magically attached to it and was strapped to his back like a back pack. His free arm held tightly to Fred's as he looked up at the big train he was to board. Harry and Ron were still on the other side so it was just him the twins and Ginny getting on the train at the moment. He was thankful he was able to bring Icarus and Al with him..otherwise he was sure he wouldn't feel comfortable or brave enough to go.

"Come on Ed! It's going to be an adventure." The twins both said at once as they dragged him on board. He looked around in wonder at the crowd of students. "Can...i ...look around?" He asked hesitantly.

"Sure Eddy if you need us we will just be down that way." The twins said pointing to the right.

Edward nodded and went the exact opposite direction in a less crowded corridor. He set Icarus on his shoulder the sound of his skull bell on his collar jingling. He took his Al from around his back and clutched him close removing his straps and pocketing them so they wouldn't get caught on anything. Icarus purred and affectionately rubbed against his cheek. Edward smiled warmly and scratched his kittens ears.

He was too busy paying attention to his cat that he didn't notice a short blonde haired boy about his hight running his way also carrying a brown golden eyed tabby. The boy wasn't paying attention either and both soon found themselves on the floor, their cats glaring indignantly at their owners.

Edward blinked his dull gold eyes dazedly as he scratched his messy gold hair. Saying nothing he got on his hands and knees and searched for his Al only to find him beside the strange blonde haired boy who was staring open mouthed at him. "Al..." Edward said happily as he clutched his stuffed toy close. He looked over to the boy and smiled kindly. "Hi...I am.. Edward." He introduced himself with a soft smile.

"Edward...!" the boy explained as if in shock.

"Ah ha." Edward nodded as he absentmindedly petted his doll. "And this is Al!" he said cutely as he showed his doll.

"Brother!" the boy said happily as he hugged a now stiff Edward. "Edward...why aren't you hugging me back?" He asked worriedly something wasn't right.

Edward began to get scared as this strange boy who kept hugging him. The boy let go off him and stepped back and put a hand to his forehead as if to check his temperature. edward shrieked as he stepped back and slapped the hand away causing the other boy to shrink back as well. "Edo?" he asked quietly.

"Don't touch me!" Edward explained and with that he ran away into a crowd of people with his cat traileing hurriedly behind leaving the confused and hurt boy behind.

"Brother?" A boy named Alphonse repeated sadly.
