Chapter Five:

As the three wizards discussed possible theories ranging from secret ninjas to freaky obsessives Harry wondered what that glinting object he had seen on Ed's arm before it had disappeared.

"Well I can say for one thing Ed was packing some serious muscle." Hermione stated. Ron coloured and puffed himself out.

"Well, I've also filled out during the summer." He baritoned falsely. Hermione blinked. "Yes you have been getting a bit porky maybe you should go on a diet."

Ron deflated with gusto. "What you want me to be ultra-buff like the midget or anorexic like the freak?"

"Ron! That is a nasty statement and totally uncalled for!" Hermione shouted surprised. She stood up frowning at him. "I expected more of you. maybe I shouldn't be surprised."

Ron winced.

"Well its time for my study period with Ed. He wants me to help him with his research." And with that she marched off.

Ron sighed bitterly. "I hate my life. Seriously that Ed kid has it made. While he's short, he's gorgeous and a certified genius that is muscled to the T and is an all-round okay kind of guy.I hate him. It must be so easy living his life."

Harry nodded. Life seemed easy for Ed even if he was in a different dimension, he looked as if he had never had a bad day in his life.

While I have a murderous dark wizard after me Harry thought bitterly.

Hermione strolled into the library and found Ed easily. They researched for an hour chatting amiably with Envy staring listlessly at things. Until she found something interesting.

"Ed would you look at this? It looks like something you could use." She held out the dusty tome and he snatched it up.

Golden eyes lit up as he scanned the text and he held it out to Envy.

Curious, thought Hermione, as they talked some sort of scientific jargon she couldn't comprehend, I thought Envy wasn't the smart one but he seems to be keeping up with Ed intellectually perfectly.

"Hermione, what you've found has solved the entire equation..."
