Approximately one hour and fifty minutes later Edward and Alphonse Elric walked into his office, the younger holding a tabby cat.
"I assume you're ready to go Fullmetal?"
"Yeah I am" Ed responded with his normal amount of sass. Suddenly, an old man, with a beard long enough that it looked like a scarf appeared with a loud pop. Immediately Ed clapped his hand a and created a fist from the stone floor which grabbed and trapped the old man 3 feet in the air. Al and Ed both stood ready to clap again if need be while Mustang stood to the side amused at their reactions and at the old mans surprised face. The man took out a stick for some reason and tapped the hand that held him. Nothing. The man looked so surprised that obviously something was expected to happen although the auto-mailed alchemist knew not what. Mustang it seemed both knew and had had his fill of entertainment.
"Edward, this is Headmaster Dumbledore of the school at which you'll teach. Dumbledore, this is Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist, and your new Alchemy professor." Mustang stated with a smirk.
"You promised me an Alchemist not a child!" Yelled Dumbledore outraged still in the air. Now Mustang looked a bit pale, he had said the wrong thing.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT YOU COULD LOSE HIM IN YOUR BEARD YOU GEEZER?!" Ed yelled making fists and moving to advance on said geezer before Alphonse held him back to avoid a disaster.
"Brother please calm down no one said that!" Al pleaded with his brother and set his tabby cat on the desk, where Dumbledore caught sight of her.
"Professor Mcgonagall what are you doing here?" The cat of course, was not the animagus so it just meowed in response. "Professor answer me or I'll have you sacked!" Again, another meow, it's worth mentioning that three out of the four(yes Hawkeye was there) Amestrians were looking at him wondering whether or not he was sane. "Fine then." A flash of blue light and a cry from Alphonse and the cat was still sitting on Mustangs desk. A clap and another flash of blue light and Ed's automail arm was near Dumbledore's face.
" What did you do to my brothers cat you old man?!" It would not do Edward justice to say he was angry, he was enraged. In his point of view the man had just attempted animal transmutation, something he had no liking for, and by the sound of it, he had made a chimera who he call 'Professor Mcgonagall' was this the man he had to work for?
"Fullmetal, calm down, the cat is fine. Isn't that right Alphonse?" asked Mustang.
"Yeah, calm down brother, she's fine. Stop threatening the old man." Al said this because he was pretty sure that if he didn't, the old man would end up dead.
"But he just-!" Edward was shocked that Mustang didn't seem to care about what could have happened to the cat.
"In the wizarding world, there are select few that posses the ability to transform into animals out of their will and magic, it is a complicated process but perfectly acceptable to society and no wizard or animal has ever been harmed during the process." Mustang quite obviously was extremely smug having more knowledge than Edward. " And to answer your previous question Albus, Edward Elric is the Fullmetal Alchemist as you must have overheard, he is not only the youngest alchemist, but the most skilled that we have to offer, as well as the only one free at the moment. If you would prefer another, please return in three years." His tone said all, he would not budge to any demands and as king why should he?
"Very well" said Dumbledore looking a bit offended and defeated. " May I be let down please?" Edward hesitated before receiving a nod from Mustang and clapping to let Dumbledore down on the floor where he straightened up regained some dignity . " Well then Mr. Elric, shall we?" He said holding out his arm which Edward gingerly took with one arm and held his suitcase in another. With one last look at Mustang and a pop, they disappeared from the office.
