Edward didn't even blink when the howler finished. Ron was still red faced over his and Ginny was hiding her head in embarresement as the others laughed. "Wow two howlers in one day." Fred said with a shake of his head. Edward was becoming more curious about Alphonse as time went by. He wondered absently if what he said was true...was he really his brother?
He looked over and noticed ALphonse was eyeing him with an unreadable look on his face. In response Edward flashed a smile and offered him some of the chicken. Alphonse thanked him and took a piece. "I gotta say Alphonse..Edward doesn't ushually take so quickly to people.." Ron said with a thoughtful look on his face. "He must really like you."
Alphonse looked like he wanted to say something but held back. Edward however took notice of it and looked at him expectantly. "Well...it would make sense...i suppose we are related..." ALphonse said hesitantly looking at Edward for a reaction only to see that he was already busy eating his own food and his focus elsewhere.
"Oh yea...thats right...you both have the same last name. I gotta tell you it's nice to see he has a relative..i will have to write to mum and dad about that. I am sure she would be happy about it...you could visit Ed and us sometime maybe durring the summer." Fred and george added as if it was a given they were still keeping Edward..Their parents had adopted him after all.
Edward looked over and noticed Alphonse clenching his fork. "If..you hold..it any tighter it will break Al." Edward pointed out in a stutter yet still managing to hold a teasing tone.
Later they found themselves in potions class. Edward much to the others dismay sat by Alphonse and looked over his book studiously. "Today class we are working with some very sensitive material..do try to be careful and not waste anything..or blow it up. " Snape drawled. "Now turn to page 345 and once you have your materials gathered get to work."
Edward wasted no time and set himself to work as Alphonse looked on in amazement. Where Edward lacked in social skills he more than made up for it in his non speaking magic...Potions of course being one of them. He worked and measured each ingrident with skill and precision. Snape came over and watched with an eyebrow raised as he noted that the right color of smoke came up. "Excilent job Elric. Ten points for griffindor. However minus five for lack of participation." He said looking pointedly at Alphonse. "Due try to not have your partner do everything." He said dryly.
Before ALphonse could so much as protest a letter appeared in front of Professor Snape. He read it throughly before looking down at the two young blondes. "It seems .. You have to go to the headmasters office." Both stood up as Snape let out a sigh of agravation. "No..just you Alphonse..Sit down Edward." He scowled as Edward gave a sheepish smile and sat down. "I swear having two Elrics..maybe as much a pain as all those Weaslys running around. " He snorted rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Now leave my sight..it seems your gaurdian is here."
Edward watched as Alphonse's eyes lit up knowingly and hurried out. "Now that that is over why don't you all get back to work before I take more points off." Snape ordered and with that everyone hurriedly got back to work not wanting to lose anymore points..or worse.
