So this is an official unofficial chapter so pay close attention. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY, JUST A FUNNY ADDITION. Remember a couple of chapters back I mention Riza being the one to go to Roy's first class and she looking quite out of it after? Well I kept thinking and thinking and decided that throughout the story I'll place little bonus chapters that'll be like fun flash backs. Just little fun things like Riza's first teaching job. And Edward's first day experiencing potions. Just small things that I don't feel like writing when the chapter comes around but still dance around. But I do have the next chapter written as well, I'm just deciding to pace myself because I got relaly caught up in reading/watching a new show and so it's been a bit troublesome. However now I'm finished with that show so I can get back to writing! :) So now the first bonus chapter: Riza's first class
Don't own HP or FMA.
Also I didn't decide what houses are in the class so use your imagination
Also for those who think Roy was out of character in the last chapter I must remind you that I am basing off the manga. And in the manga he shows a huge devotion towards his comrades and has been known to get slightly carried away when he realizes one of them is injured (For references look up what happened to Lusst and Envy in the manga if you haven't read it). Therefore I believe he's totally in character.
Riza Hawkeye sighed as she entered the class, pausing as she saw the large group of students in front of her. Second years…great. Instantly one of them raised a hand "Where's Professor Mustang?" she asked.
Riza frowned "He's unable to come today. He wasn't feeling good so I'll be taking over for the class" she answered professionally.
Another student then raised their hand "Why are you taking over? You're not a teacher here" he pointed out.
Riza's eye twitched as a girl turned to him with a sneer "Because she comes from the same school dummy. Alchemy is a hard to learn subject and not just any one could teach it" she answered.
Riza nodded, opening her mouth to answer "But she's still not a teacher! And how come alchemy is such a hard subject? It's just like transfiguration right?" another boy countered.
Riza groaned, sitting back in her chair as an argument broke out right before her very eyes "Alchemy isn't like transfiguration! I heard it's more like potions you dumdum"
"Who are you calling a dumdum! And besides, you don't know any alchemy either so what would you know!"
"She knows a lot more than you I bet. She comes from a magical family. You're parents are muggles"
"That has nothing to do with it. I've heard that even muggles can learn this magic if they try hard enough"
"Muggles can't learn magic! If they could then they'd take over the world!"
"How about we ask the professor on this? He'd know"
"Enough!" Riza shouted, the students quieting instantly.
Riza took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose, mentally ashamed that she lost her cool in front of these twelve year old "Neither Roy, Edward, and I can use alchemy. It take a special ability to sense a particular kind of energy. And pure blood or muggleborn have nothing to do with how well you learn. Now I have a quiz for you all to take to assess your skills. You will be absolutely quiet, understood?" she asked. Nobody made a sound as she stood, handing out the papers. To the students. Again nobody moved, just staring at the papers without writing anything down.
Riza sighed "Why is nobody writing anything down?" she asked in resignation. Silence followed her question and she could have sworn she heard crickets chirping in the background. She groaned, placing her hand on her forehead in frustration.
Calm down Riza. You're a first lieutenant and Roy's most trusted comrade in a very powerful military. You will not fall to pieces because of a few little kids. Deep breaths.
She then looked up, nobody had moved "Is the quiz to hard?" she asked. Again silence met her ears, almost threatening to smother her.
Her shoulders began trembling and her eyes flashed dangerously "I believe when the teacher, whether a substitute teacher or not, asks a question you are supposed to answer, correct?" she asked, her voice an eerie calm. Timidly one girl raised a shaky hand half heartedly in the air, gaining surprised and respectful looks from her classmates.
Riza nodded her head "Yes?" she asked.
The girl looked down, biting her lip as though debating what to do "You told us to be absolutely quiet" she said quietly.
Riza's breath caught and she found herself torn between laughing and screaming "When I ask a question and you raise your hand you may talk" she said, a barely suppressed tremor in her voice.
Instantly several students brightened, raising their hands "Yes?" she asked, motioning to the closest one.
The boy grinned at her "You never told us to start" he said. Riza uncharacteristically face palmed, now highly frustrated.
She then pointed to another student "And you?" she asked.
The girl smiled "What's transmutation? It's on pretty much all of the questions but I've never heard of it" she said.
Riza's nailed scraped deep into the desk "Didn't any of you read the book?" she asked. Again, silence fell on her ear.
She grinded her teeth together "The back of the book?" she asked.
Again, silence "Did any of you…touch the book?" she asked. Finally she got some responses from several students.
She sighed "Do all of you have a copy of your book?" she asked. At this all of the students raised their hands.
Riza groaned "Then how could you not have touched the book if you have a copy?" she asked.
The students all smiled "My parents got it for me" came a chorused reply from the class.
Riza groaned once more. If she didn't know better she'd say that the students had conspired against her before class started. One thing was certain though. Roy was defiantly going to have 'fun' with this class. She could only hope the other classes weren't as bad…
