Hey! Sorry for the delay... bah, this one didn't take SO long... :P
CHAPTER SEVEN: Clash of habits.
Envy knew perfectly well that the only way to go out of that world, was in the same way he had come in.
And that was why, when he was told by Voldemort himself that he had to go that so-called Hogwarts place , to spy on a teacher that seemed to have knowledge about the other side of the Gate, Envy's sneer widened, and that time, he agreed.
:ooo:ooo:
Envy was bored. He had been given the choice of buying himself the 'school material', or having a Death Eater do it, instead. Not that Envy wasn't a lazy parson, but he'd chosen the former. If he was supposed to live among magical people the least he could do was know how they lived! He sighed. Only he could get himself into that sort of strange situations...
So yes. He was standing at that very moment in the middle of Diagon Alley. He was clutching, a bit annoyed, a bag full of the weirdest things, he would have never imagined could exist. Never, in all his 400 years of age...
He'd just come out of Knockturn Alley, and he couldn't say he'd liked it. Because he'd already chosen an appearance- the face he'd shown to the world while being there- and it certainly didn't match those of the people that lurked darkly in that place.
Shoulder-length blonde hair clashed with his black robe, for dramatic effect, and he'd allowed himself to keep the violet in his eyes, because apparently, in that world, he could say he was wearing something called "contact lenses" and the people would believe him!
Envy's eyes, or rather, Schneid's eyes (he'd chosen that name while he was at it...), did a rapid evaluation of the place. Ah! There it was! He strode towards the shop, and demanded, with a smirk to his lips, a lemon ice-cream.
He licked it without haste, and sat at an empty table. That World-beyond-the-Gate certainly wasn't so bad! Besides, he had paid everything with Voldemort's money... XD
:ooo:ooo:
Ed fumed at Mrs. Weasley. "See! I'm not skinny! I'm not even SMALL! And don't say that I don't GROW UP because I don't EAT!"...
"But if you just would..." Molly said tentatively. An anime vein popped in Ed's forehead, and he took off his shirt, to show her that he was ALL THE OPPOSITE to skinny. Ron went like, 'wow, how do you manage that', but Molly just went pale.
She'd seen for the first time how the automail connected to his body, and she'd been left speechless. Ed, not understanding, asked, "Are you alright, Mrs.Weasley?"
"Yes, yes dear boy." she took a seat, and fanned herself with an issue of The Prophet. "Wooh, it's the first time ever I see something like that. I think I'm going to make some tea." She commented a bit flushed, and left for the kitchen. Ed frowned, and asked Ron, worried. "You sure your mother is fine?"
"I guess. But man that's wicked!" he said with a beam, looking at Ed's automail. "How did you get it?."
Ed's lips formed a smirk, which, unnoticed to Ron, hinted some sadness. "You won't stomach it if I tell you. Maybe some other time..."
Think he looks the same as always, but with the same hair he had when he was alive (ever seen chapter 50? If you haven't it's kinda like Ed's but wavy). BTW I love lemmon ice-cream! so I thought Envy should like it too (that just sounded extremely childish!)
I KNOW, this is too short. But it's the best I can manage (remember that I have 3 stories to cope with in Quizilla, and a fourth in-progress!)
