A/N-Very pleased with the reviews! Keep it up!
Chapter 10-When Ed and Roy walked in the Great Hall together, Hermione, Ron, and Harry's conversation instantly quieted down. The three quickly stood up, took Ed and Roy by the arm, and drug the from the room.
"Hey." Ed growled dangerously. "What the hell are you kids doing?!"
"Hey!" Harry snapped angrily. "You can't talk to us that way. You're supposed to be guarding me right?"
Roy shook his head thoughtfully. He really knew Ed and he usually didn't let people talk back to him…
"Wrong. I'm supposed to kill any sucker who attempts your life. I don't have to shadow you or anything. I'm an assassin."
Roy sighed. 'That sure shut them up…but Ed was telling the truth, the military's attack dogs are just like assassins…'
"A-assa-assassin?" Ron stuttered fearfully. He really didn't find that profession…happy.
Roy nodded. "The attack dogs of our military are just like assassins. When I send someone out to kill an enemy, it's done quickly and quietly. No survival guaranteed."
"So…" Harry muttered. "You control the military?"
"Yeah."
"…" The three stayed silent…well at least two of them did. Hermione kept glaring from Ed to Roy.
"Guys." She said, her glaring eyes holding onto Roy's nonchalant black ones. "I've gotta tell you something…about something I saw a few minutes ago."
Ed groaned and slapped his forehead. "You are just a kid, and shouldn't have come in there. What were you trying to prove, bringing Minerva and Albus?"
"What?" Harry and Ron asked in unison. Harry turned to a blushing Hermione.
"What were they doing?"
Hermione's blush grew as she attempted to explain.
"We-well I uh-umm…I wanted to get my textbook I forgot in the rush to leave…when I walked in, umm…Dumbledore and McGonagall were coming to see where Professor Mustang was…and uh…"
Roy and Ed sighed. Hermione was lying through her teeth. Harry and Ron turned to face Roy and Ed when Hermione paused.
Ed groaned in frustration and walked in front of Roy. To Harry and Ron's apparent confusion, Roy put his arms around Ed's waist, and his neck on Ed's shoulder.
"She spied on us the other day, decided that Edo-koi was her enemy, and walked in on Edo-koi and me when we were having sex."
Hermione's blush hit another level as Harry and Ron hit the first level of blushing.
"You-I mean-and Ed-are you…gay?" Harry asked, the blush never leaving his face.
"Yeah. Gotta fuckin problem with that?" Ed growled. A dangerous glint entered his eyes, so Harry decided to look lower, just not on his face.
As Harry's eyes trailed to Ed's neck, he noticed a black choker holding a familiar, yet unfamiliar red stone.
"Ed…is that…I mean we found one that looks quite…similar, but it was paler. Is that a Philosopher's Stone?"
Hermione and Ron gasped, tearing their eyes off of Mustang's and onto Ed's neck.
Ed literally growled and stepped back a little as Harry reached to touch the stone.
"Back off. This is my stone. It was my fault that so many people were sacrificed for it, so the stone chose me."
Harry backed away a little, confusion entering his face.
"Why is it a deeper red? Yours looks more like…blood than the one we saw."
Ed sighed and sent Roy a look that said: "should I tell them?". Roy nodded and Ed turned his eyes back to Harry.
"That stone that Flamel made was merged with Alchemy and Magic…wasn't it?" At Harry's nod, Ed continued.
"That explains something then. He didn't have to sacrifice live human bodies…did he? No, but I did. This stone holds the blood of many people's lives…it's a true Philosopher's Stone. The other was an obvious cheap imitation."
Harry gaped at Ed's explanation. So that's why Ed's eyes seemed haunted when Malfoy mentioned…God.
Ed sadly looked away from Harry, and instead, turning his gaze to Roy. He nodded at the black haired man as the two of them turned, returning to the Great Hall.
A/N-So…tell me truthfully on how bad I did…Ja ne
