AND AGAIN! lOOK AT VERY TOP AND VERY BOTTOM. TOP SETS THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT AND BOTTOM IS A SUMMARY!
Edward stretched out in Roy's chair, his feet propped up on the desk as him and Riza waited anxiously for Roy to come. He had been summoned by Furher Bradley. They were merely waiting for him to return. Both of them were worried. Since they had left Hogwarts things seemed to be going down hill in the home land. Leautenant Ross had been accused of killing Hughes, Roy 'barbequed her, Edward was sent off to the desert to see that Roy really hadn't killed Ross, and in the meantime Roy set up a trap to find the homunculi. One that inevitably failed but succeeded. They found a path in one of the labs but Roy got stabbed by Lust once more. He also killed her through using magic and alchemy. But now Bradly wanted to talk to him and for Riza and Edward it was a matter...of waiting.
"This is so boring. I would love to fight a dragon about now." Edward said with a grin.
Riza smiled in amusement "I'm sure you would." she stated, her eyes never once leaving the door.
They both then sat up as Roy entered, immediately sinking onto the couch before wincing in pain. "You know...that's twice I've been stabbed by that woman. And in the same spot too. I know she's dead now but I think I'd rather tackle the other homunculi. Before they get the jump on us." he said.
Riza frowned "And how would that be...sir?" she asked formally, both of them having decided to keep their relationship a secret from the rest of the military for now.
Roy smirked, leaning forward ever so slightly "Pack your bags. Looks like for 'causing trouble' I'm being sent out on punishment. And I can't very well go without my 'family' right?" he asked.
Edward sat up, grinning "Really? perfect! Maybe now I can find more clues to Al's whereabout. I know the secret is in magic." he said.
Roy nodded "And I can research more about ways to defaat the homunculi." he said.
Riza however smirked "Just don't forget about your classes." she said.
Roy looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes "That's why you're there." he said.
Edward smiled as he got to his feet "So what are we waiting for? Our bags won't pack by themselves." he said with a grin.
Roy smirked "Not yet anyways."
Riza smiled at their antics.
They then looked up, hearing a tapping at the window. Curious, Roy rose slowly to his feet, letting the barn owl in that landed in the ledge, holding out a foot with a letter. Quickly Roy untied it before scanning the contents in the letter before smirking "Looks like we won't be staying at the Leaky Cauldren again. Seems Dumbledore wants us on his team. The Order of the Pheonix."
This was going to be an interesting year at Hogwarts.
story so far:
Roy, having just gotten out of a conference with Fuher Bradley, confronted Edward about his recent rash actions, informing them about their newest orders. What he didn't expect to find was Edward, lost and alone with Alphonse dead. Unfortunetly orders are orders and the two are sent to teach at Hogwarts. A job that all other alchemists had come back from in a semi state of insanity. As they are leaving Riza joins them, having gotten permission on the basis of forming their cover story. They decided to go as a family. Riza was pretending to be Edward's mother while Roy was pretending to be engaged to her. They also decided to tell everyone that none of them could use alchemy.
While preparing in Diagon Alley Edward began his quest to look up how magic worked. Reading book after book. Towards the end of the trip Riza and Roy surprised him with a small chimera for a pet which Edward named Kiri. The first night in Hogwart's was one of their first difficult ones as a newly found false family. Edward had a nightmare of Alphonse's death and Roy, concerned for his youngest subordinate stayed with him. After the terrible nightmare Edward began to take Dreamless Drought potion to keep the nightmares at bay. After that life continued at a steadily normal pace. Roy's alchemy classes were...above and beyond hopeless and Edward spent most of his time sitting in on classes or exploring the castle. But in October came a stunning turn of events. The Triwizard Tournament. A tournement that takes one champion from three schools to compete in life threatening challenges. But to everyones surprise two names came out of the cup.
Harry Potter, a teen who Edward had previously met on the Hogwarts express, and Edward himself. Roy was furious at the turn of events, trying to get them to retract Edward's name but realized that the magically binding contract would not allow it. So, faced with that uncertainty of why someone would put Edwards name in when he had previously been thought of as a muggle, was now throwing a darker light on the wizarding world. Before the first task could take place however they had a weighing of wands where Edward met an old friend of his fathers, Ollivander. Ollivander revealed that Hohenhiem had used magic however briefly and that it could be possible Edward could use it to though Edward said no. After that came the first task against a ferocious dragon. Luckily, having spent the past two years fighting chimeras and alchemists, this task was extremely easy for a talented alchemist such as Edward. Unfortunetly he had to reveal his abilities as an alchemist in the process. Afterwards, enthralled by his abilities the students cornered him in alchemy class, forcing Roy to come to his rescue by threatening to barbeque the students, giving them a small display of alchemic power as warning.
After that the class settled down once more. In celebration of Edward's success they decided to visit Hogsmeade where Edward came across mirrors that, when bonded to you by blood, would let you see anything you wanted. With or without the mirrors with you. It also had a small ability to let you see through anyones eyes. Edward got the mirrors but, in going to such an out of the way location, was attacked with Kiri coming to his rescue. unfortunetly Edward was injured, having briefly lost the will to fight. He stayed in the hospital wing where he was attacked for the second time that night by a stranger in the hospital wing who revealed herself to be Lust in disguise. Joining her was none other than Kiri. The betrayal of the chimera once again caused the deep wounds to Edward's soul to open so, when the Yule Ball was announced Roy came up with a plan to help, by inviting Edward's child hood friend, Winry Rockbell, as Edward's date.
That night Edward and Winry were attacked once more by Lust. During the attack Winry bravely defended Edward, once more giving him a reason to fight. Edward, heartened by her bright personality and words of encouragement, now turned his focus upon the golden egg they had recieved during the first task. After quickly solving the clue he worked with Winry to come up with a solution to survive under water. Roy in the meantime traveled back to Amestris to obtain some books for Edwrd to help him, and in doing so realized that magic maybe wasn't as impossible as it seemed. And that other things also couldn't. In revealing that he boldly proposed to Riza who accepted his proposal. After that Edward continued on his quest to find out ways to survive the second task. After doing the second task he did wonderfully up until he had made it to the surface, the underwater motor he had used not working as well on the surface. Roy however helped him out, claiming Edward might as well be his son.
After that they began a normal routine, waiting for the next task. During that time Edward came to the startling realization that Alphonse was alive, due to seeing him in a dream that Alphonse used to talk to him. After finding out about the third task and what it involved. This time it was Roy who helped train Edward for the task, maing sure he was prepared. During their preparations Winry was kidnapped without their knowing, Envy replacing her flawlessly. Oblivious to the near by threat they continued on, preparing for the maze. Upon entering Edward found himself confronted with no obstacles. As Edward continued through the maze he was oblivious to the growing danger outside. Envy took the oppurtinity to take on Roy on his own, him and Lust managing to wound him before both homunculi were attacked by none other than Kiri. After being provided the opening Roy realized that a small package he was holding for Edward had been torn open, revealing a wand which he used to save his life. Edward meanwhile was met with Cedric and Harry in the center of the maze and together the three decided on a tie.
So they all touched the cup at once, being whisked to a graveyard where Cedric was immediately killed. Edward and Harry wer then confronted by Envy, who appeared to sustain much longer lasting damage from the magic, and Lust. Lust and Envy then were joined by Wormtail wo revived the fearsome Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort then revealed all his plans, including those made for Edward. He wanted Edward to make a philosiphers stone. Edward however refused and, through using Cedric's wand, created an alchemic diversion to help Harry get at Voldemort. Unfortunetly through a bizzare magic they were seperated and Edward was left on his own. But after being visited once more by Alphonse's magical apparation he began running towards Cedric, only to be stopped by Envy. Without thinking Edward used the wand to cast a confundus charm on Envy, allowing him to escape with Harry.
They then reached Hogwarts safely where Edward told Dumbledore of Moody's treachery that he had learned of from Envy and Lust. Dumbledore sent Edward to his office and set out to rescue Winry from the dark wizard impersonating Moody. Finally, after a long interogation the two were granted rest. But before they could really sleep they were awoken by Fudge who vehemently believed Voldemort to be back. After a long arguement which had Fudge storming out the boys finally got the rest they next morning Edward and Harry met with the Diggory's and, after mentioning how Cedric's wand had saved him, they let Edward keep Cedric's wand that had formed a reluctant and temporary truce with Edward. Edward, Roy, Riza, and Winry were then surprised to find a young chimera pup in their living room.
It was Kira and Black Hayate's pup and Kiri had entrusted the young chimera to them and the little chimera was promtply named Kirei. Later that night Edward was visited once more by Alphonse who explained he had helped free little Kirei, though he was disappointed when Kiri didn't go with. Alphonse then mentioned how he was with Hohenhiem and couldn't wait for them to be a complete family again and expressing how Hohenheim missed his other son. But when Edward awoke he realized he didn't feel the same. But there wasn't time to dwell on it as they returned to Amestris where they continued on as normal until this time Roy caused trouble. Enough to be sent...back to Hogwarts. And of course he couldn't go without his family. Espescially since Dumbledore invited them all...to join the Order of the Pheonix.
Here is the official summery for what you can expect in the next part of the story. I hope you all will continue to enjoy it as you have the first part.
As Edward struggles to decide if he wants to be with Hohenhiem or Roy Roy faces his own struggle of asking Edward a very important question to both of them. Does he want to be his son officially. Meanwhile Riza's trying to plan her and Roy's wedding and troubles looming over the horizon as Umbrigde slowly takes over Hogwarts and the military begins to plot for Roy, Riza, and Ed's downfall.
