Heeeyyyyyaaaa~~! Thanksgivings here so in light of my newly updated Chapter Six, I will grace all of my loving and supporting readers for a CHAPTER SEVEN!
Sooo, you're probably all wondering why I didn't title this chapter anything to do with the plot of this chapter. Because I want to give you a surprise, that's why! X3 You all remember the story that poor Alphonse didn't get to tell his older brother right?
Well, prepare yourself for...CHAPTER SEVEN: THE TALE OF ARUUUU! X3 X3 X3
I recieved many suggestions over time about a filler chapter about our little armor buddy, and I have finally taken it into consideration and making it possible. I am considering having future "Alphonse Story" chapters, until the climax and Al has to- *SPOILERRRRRRR THAT I DONT EVEN KNOW YETTT!*
So yeah, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Aru fluffiness.
Review replies from Chapter Six:
Phantommouse1115-heck yes! Flames are good, hypothetically, because they make yummy cookies that are used to reward readers that so kindly give feedback with reviewwwsss! X3 you be psychic amiko, for this entire chapter is dedicated to said story. X3 don't worry, once Hermione is attacked by the troll, she'll get better at confrontin Edo, seeing that she'll be a closer "friend" to him X3
Upsilon4-O.O (-.-") yep. X3 dawwwww I'm not hating on Hermione, I'm just accentuating her meticulous and somewhat scrupulous qualities that makes her 11 year old self who she is! X3 don't worry, it's all good fun, I really love Hermione. not in that way tthoooo! X3 thanks for reviewing so much and all of your feedback!
Heartless-are-squirrels-yeah, Edo just wasn't feelin it huh? XD *scolds Ed for not being considerate of his otouto(sp?)* X3 thanks! NYAAAA! ...i dont knoowwww! I'm sorry but I personally disagree with the ending of the 2003 anime, so I have avoided the leading up to the WW2 ending/the parallel worlds thing cuz it permanently screwed up my logic(dont ask!) but I will take the Alphonse thing into consideration! thats actually pretty funny X3 Plus, I guess you're psychic too. I planned to have multiple people discover Al(first an anonymous person, I think Hufflepuff, then some minor "main" characters). Don't worry, Hermione will get loads more attention after the troll thing. Just like in the books/movie. Also...I WILL GLADLY GIVE EDO MORE NIGHTMARES! (l LOVE writing them MWAHAHAHAHA!) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. It means a lot to me to have this kind of feedback.
vampydarkangel-O.O *blush* thank you very much! X3 I'm very happy that you enjoy my story, and I am working very hard to keep updating so I can keep my faithful readers entertained! Thanks again for the kind review! *blush reddens* EEE! I CAN'T BELIEVE SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE MY STORY!
DISCLAIMER!
Snape: How much longer do I have to do this?
Me: until I get bored of you or find another character to torture*cough* I mean...
Snape: *headdesk*
Me: *sparks another evil idea* heyyyy maybe since none of the Homunculi are currently in the plot, how about I guest star them! and if I run out(if i have that many chapters T^T) i can do them from each anime! X3
Snape: *sighs in relief*
Me: ...just do it now before I change my mind.
Snape: THIS FOOLISH, IMCOMPETANT, FRIVOLOUS, CHILDISH GIRL OWNS NOTHING!
Me:...*facepalm*
Chapter Seven
Special! The Tale of Aru "episode" One
"Hey Brother, guess what happened to me today!" Al said eagerly, wanting to tell his story to his nii-san. Said brother however, just shrugged him off and went to bed. Alphonse retreated to the corner, attempting to grow mushrooms on the stone walls.
The Tale of Alphonse: Morning.
"Al, I TOLD you to stop hoarding cats! What were you thinking?"
"Sorry Brother..."
"Ed?" Ron and Harry had spotted Edward beside the armor. Ed frantically stuck his ear out and shrugged.
"Ahh, sorry, I can't hear anything! How about we get going? Let's go~!" With that, Edward sped away towards the Great Hall, followed by Harry and Ron. The younger Elric sighed.
"Oh Brother, you're so odd..." he thought aloud. Inside of his chest plate, Mrs. Norris helplessly scratched and mewed, wanting to escape. Al looked down at the source of the noise and cheered up. "Aww, do you want to come out and play, kitty?" He reached inside and picked up the struggling tabby, cooing and laughing. Mrs. Norris writhed in Alphonse's gloves, and then escaped! She leapt out of his hands, scattering away from the armor's reach. Alphonse hesitated before advancing.
Brother TOLD me to stay at the common room entrance...I don't know my way around this castle...
Although hesitant, Al made up his mind to follow Mrs. Norris.
"Here kitty, kitty!" he called out. "Come back kitty!" However, the younger Elric had no success in finding Mrs. Norris, instead finding himself lost; the hallways weaved around like a maze around him. He looked around and saw the pictures moving and talking, as they had done the other night when he was following Edward to the Gryffindor common room. "Excuse me!" he called out to a portrait of a man in robes. "Do you know where the Gryffindor common room is?" The man looked over at Al and started saying something, but Al couldn't understand what he was saying. His language was rough and choppy and the more he talked, the more agitated he looked. Alphonse just backed away and trudged down the hallway he was in.
"Excuse me, but it seems you've lost your way Mr. Elric."
Alphonse looked up to see an old wizard wearing deep purple robes, his silvery-white beard extending to his mid-hip, and his clear blue eyes shimmering behind his half-moon spectacles.
"Mr. Albus!" Al exclaimed. The headmaster nodded in recognition and smiled. Alphonse bowed politely. "It's very nice to see you again sir."
"You as well, Alphonse. Now, do you need to go somewhere?" Al nodded.
"I kinda got lost sir, could you help me?" Albus chuckled.
"Of course."
Tale of Alphonse: Afternoon.
Albus and Alphonse walked up the moving staircases and into a door at the top of one staircase. Alphonse stepped ahead.
"I think I know the way from here. Thanks for the help Mr. Albus!" the young Elric said. The headmaster bowed.
"If you'll excuse me Mr. Elric, I have some things to attend to in my office, and I must enjoy a few lemon drops. Surprising Muggle sweets! So fascinating!" With that, the headmaster left and Alphonse continued to the common room.
Al walked straight forward, but wasn't really paying attention to where he was going. All of a sudden, he heard a clang! and a thud! Alphonse looked up to see a young wizard adorned in robes with a silver and blue badge on the chest on the ground(he had bumped into Alphonse and landed on the floor). The wizard had caramel-blonde hair tied back in a short ponytail and chocolate grey eyes. For a moment, the young Elric merely stared at the boy, entranced and curious. It took another moment before Al realized that the boy had ran into him. He backed away flustered.
"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention! I hope you're not hurt!" he apologized. The wizard gaped at the young Elric, eyes bugged out.
"Woooowwwww! I've seen the armors move before, but never talk! I wonder if there's anyone inside of it..." he reached for Alphonse's head and took it off, looking inside. "...nope. Completely empty." Al stood, compeltely bewildered.
This boy...sounds almost exactly like me! ...maybe a bit older..probably already went through puberty...
Out of nowhere, the boy climbed inside of Al's armor! Alphonse wriggled.
"Agh! Could you please get out?" he pleaded. "It feels so weird to have a person inside me!"
"Oh," the boy mumbled, his voice metallic sounding from inside the armor. "I'm sorry. Here I'll get out." The boy pushed open Alphonse's chest plate and crawled out, then closed it. The boy smiled. "I probably should get going then. Bye!" He ran off in the other direction, waving goodbye.
Why did he seem so familiar? My blood seal..it was almost tingling when he was in my armor...
Tale of Alphonse: Evening.
Soon, Alphonse reached the corner where he had stood before in front of the common room. He sighed in relief and eagerly awaited Edward to return.
This marks the end of the Tale of Alphonse special!
X3 I hope you all enjoyed the fluffiness! This has been the first encounter that Alphonse has had with a Hogwarts student(did you all guess who it was? X3). Sooner or later, Fred and George are going to find him, then Draco, then Hermione...I might switch up that order...oh well...
...I need some action...hmmmm...*idea spawns* I almost forgot! *facepalm, followed by sinister laughter* Flying practice! mwahahahahaha!
Harry and Ron: YEAH! That's gonna be so much fun!
Me: IKR?
Ed:...FLYING PRACTICE? *imagines falling and breaking his automail.*
*enter Winry*
Winry: What the heck are you going to do to my precious automail you Alchemy freak? What were you thinking, imagining falling out of the air on your automail? *chases Ed with wrenches*
Me: *munches on popcorn*
Ed: DONT KILL ME! IT'S HER FAULT! *points to me, eating popcorn but now frozen. Winry approaches me with wrench*
Winry: *you must imagine her menacing expression dear readers* Is this true?
Me: *mutters to readers* HELP ME AND REVIEWWWWW!
~Next time on Fullmetal Alchemist and the Philosopher's Stone~
Hey everyone, it's Alphonse Elric, the younger Elric brother!

OH OH OH! Broomsticks! What are they going to do, sweep the floor? *shrug* Ouch Brother, falling from a broom isn't very smart, even if you were trying to save that boy from falling...Winry's gonna kill you for breaking your automail! Haha! You show that Draco Malfoy who's boss Harry! That's a cool move!
