Seito: I apologize. This was suppose to have been posted on Christmas but due to computer problems it wasn't and I just got I back recently. I like to thank everyone who has been patient with me (and not trying to track down my email address and sent a bunch of angry emails to me) and for reviewing the story. 252 reviews my god…

This chapter is deciated to my 200th reviewer. Sadly I don't know who you are since it was a good 50 reviews away but who you are thank you!!!

To Kazaera

Yeah about that phrase… As you know the story doesn't completely work if I put Ed anywhere else (unless I add a whole bunch of other characters). So I needed a reason for the hat not to put Ed in Ravenclaw. If you want a logical explanation then think about Ed and the whole gate of truth thing. He absorbed a lot of knowledge. He's considered as genius right? So his IQ is above average even as a wizard. Hence the words 'too-smart-for-Ravenclaw'.

To Dreams of Magic

You'll find out about who goes after the stone in this chapter. As for what Harry gave Draco… it's a secret! –wink- and Shinka is just a really smart cat.

To HazelWolf

I'm well aware the H/D has been done before (wait done before in a HP/FMA story or done before as there are fanfics on H/D?) and I'm not going to drop this story. I just had computer problems. (Already got the last chapter written and just needs to be beta) as for writing the sequel to this, is still unknown.

To rundaria

Don't get discourage from little reviews. This is the only story I have that gets this many reviews

To Bakagami101

See I can't write long chapter stories because then I forget what I'm writing or what the plot is or just lose interest in it.

To maleficus-luspus

Nope sorry. I know what story you're talking about but I never read it.

To Guu-sama

There are many Roy/Ed hints. You just got to look closely.

To QianYun

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To manzanita

Well, Shinka actually started out as a red cat but one of my beta said it would sound better as a brownish-reddish cat. But I find it strange that your cat is just like Shinka. –holds up Shinka- look Shinka we found your twin. Shinka: meow!

To everyone else

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter IX

That's Fate; Behind the Lies of Deceit

------------------------

Nando kimi ni, ketsu mazuitemo

Modottekichau, aijou ni

I hurt myself because of you, over and over;

But my love didn't go away--it kept coming back.

-------------------------

Ed knew he was cornered. He tried to weasel his way out, but Harry, Hermione and Ron had blocked all exits. By now, everyone else had gone to sleep, wanting a good rest for tomorrow's exams. "Shouldn't you guys be getting to bed so that you'll be well rested tomorrow morning for the exams?" questioned Ed.

The looks on his friends' faces told him that they weren't going to let him go until he told them. Ed let out a sigh. Why him? Why did this always happen to him? Why not someone else? Why him?!

Finally giving up, knowing that there was nothing he could do to get out of this (and that he would have to tell them sooner or later), Ed said, "Fine. Sit down, this is going to take a while." He practically winced at the happy looks on his friends' face. They were going to be in for a real surprise.

"So, why is your right arm metal?" asked Hermione. She figured that was the easiest question to answer. It wasn't.

Ed had thought up a false story just in case they wanted to know the details. There was no way he was going to tell Harry, Hermione and Ron the real reason why he lost his right arm and left leg. "I lost my right arm in an …accident. So in its place, I underwent surgery to receive my automail one." Seeing three blank faces in front of him, Ed explained. "Automail is a type of metal used to create artificial limbs. If you notice, I can use my right arm as if it wasn't metal. That's because the science from where I come from is so far advanced that they can use the automail to replace limbs and have the automail limbs move and act as if they were flesh and blood."

Harry, Ron and Hermione, nodded to show they understood. "So how did you turn your arm into a blade?" asked Ron excitedly. He remembered that incident from Halloween and spent many days after wondering about it.

Ed let out a soft sigh of relief. Even though the wizarding world didn't know much about it, Ed felt more comfortable talking about alchemy than his automail limbs. (Can't really blame him either) "That was through Alchemy," said Ed.

"You mean the mixing of magical spells/potions to create an object like the Philosopher's Stone? The book I read said something along the lines of being able to turn metal into gold and give the person immortality." asked Ron. After Hermione told him and Harry about the stone, Ron had (surprisingly) looked up what alchemy was. The description was vague and Ron had interpreted it as mixing spells or potions together to create something.

Ed winced at the definition. That was the wrong way to describe alchemy. No wonder the wizarding world didn't know much about alchemy. The way Ron described it was a very harsh description. "Actually that's wrong, well part of it. Alchemy (it's a science) is the skill in which alchemists, like myself, can create something with the same properties. To someone, from where I come from, alchemy is a handy skill in which you can make anything, but there's a rule to this. There's a law of conservation of mass and the law of providence. Among alchemist, there are people who use the four elements and the three principles, but…" Ed was interrupt by Hermione, who suddenly leaped up with a light of understanding in her eyes.

"Of course! I've heard of this type of alchemy before!" she said excitedly. "It's like taking an object with one element and changing it into an object containing the same element. An object with the properties of water can only be transmutated into an object with watery attributes."

Ron and Harry just stared at her, not understanding a single thing she had said. Seeing their confused faces, Ed offered the same simple explanation he had given Rose, "In short, the basis to alchemy is 'Exact Trade'. If you want to make something using alchemy, you need something of an equivalent value." Harry and Ron's mouths formed an 'o' shape.

"So because your arm is metal, you can create a sword from it," said Harry, putting together the pieces of the puzzle.

"Yeah, something like that," said Ed. "That's the general gist of it."

Then something else clicked together in Harry's mind, Mr. Mustang. "Wait! Is Mr. Mustang also an alchemist?"

Ed paused for a moment. Technically, that was Roy's decision to tell them. Ed shrugged. "Ask him yourself. We better get to bed. We have finals tomorrow." Then Ed headed off to bed before they could stop him. (Although Ed did make a good point. How were they supposed to pass their first year at Hogwarts if they fell asleep during their exams?)

----------------------

Their last exam was History of Magic. Ed and Hermione were very calm with the exam whereas Harry and Ron were slightly worried. Of course after a long hour of what seemed to be endless questions, everyone couldn't help but cheer that they were finally done with their exams.

"That was far easier than I thought it would be," said Hermione as the four of them walked out of the classroom. "I needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager."

Ed rolled his eyes and let out an exasperating sigh, but didn't admit that he had studied that part too. "Well, I've got to go," said Ed as he heard the hallway clock chime. "Mr. Mustang wanted to talk to me about something."

He ran off after saying goodbye. Just as Ed disappeared around the corner, something dawned on Harry. Harry started towards the direction of Hagrid's house. "Don't you think it's a bit odd," said Harry, scrambling up the glassy slop, "that what Hagrid wants more than anything else is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have an egg in his pocket? How many people wander around with dragon eggs if it's against wizard law? Lucky they found Hagrid, don't you think? Why didn't I see it before?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Ron.

"I'll explain when we get there!" shouted Harry from the distance. He was already halfway towards Hagrid's house when Ron and Hermione decided to run and catch up with him.

-------------------------

Meanwhile, in the library, Roy was giving Ed some information he found out about the traps that were guarding the Philosopher's Stone.

"We're looking at some really tough spells. Sprout has probably added some kind of plant, ("Wonderful. Another plant to try and eat me."- Ed) Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirrell's ("That guy is an idiot. There's no way his spell can actually do harm." –Ed) and Snape's, ("I don't want to know."-Ed)" said Roy. "Other than that I have no idea what else is under that trapdoor. Oh and of course, whatever finishing touches Dumbledore made."

"Plus there's the three-headed dog to take care of too," said Ed. He leaned back in his chair, rocking on the back two legs.

"Yes… Fluffy," mumbled Roy.

Ed looked at Roy with a strange look. "Wha-? Fluffy?"

"Hagrid's pet."

"Why Fluffy?" Who in their right mind names a three-headed dog Fluffy? Then again, from what Ed understood, Hagrid loved strange animals. Went so far as to get a dragon, from what Harry told Ed.

"No idea," said Roy. "On the other hand, do you mind removing Shinka from my coat?" He held up his black coat to reveal that Shinka was still hanging onto him.

Ed smirked. "I think she likes it up there, so I'm not going to remove her from your coat. She'll leave when she's ready." Shinka let out a meow that sounded like 'yeah that's right!'

Roy looked back and forth from Ed and Shinka before letting out a sigh. What did he do to deserve this?

----------------------

Something was bothering Ed later that night. A gut feeling, instinct, whatever you call it, it was bothering him. Ed stumbled out of bed, almost tripping over his bed sheets. Shinka shifted in her sleep before slowly waking up. (Shinka came back with Ed when he left the library earlier in the evening.)

Ed looked around, two empty beds. That was not a good sign. Both Ron and Harry were missing. 'Don't tell me they went wandering around the school at night again,' he thought. Kami-sama, did those two WANT to get expelled? He tossed on his red coat, grabbed a new pair of white gloves and headed towards the stairwell.

Ed walked down to the common room with Shinka following behind her master. Maybe Harry and Ron were the common room, talking or something, then there wouldn't be any reason to worry.

Of course, Ed didn't find Harry or Ron. Instead he found Neville with his arms to his side, his legs together and his whole body rigid, on the floor. "Longbottom?" asked Ed. "What on earth are you doing on the floor?" Neville didn't answer him. He couldn't answer him.

Ed took out his wand and mumbled, "Finite Incantetum." Neville's body returned to normal.

"Harry! Ron! Hermione!" stammered Neville, sitting up. "T-they went out again!!"

Ed groaned. "Great, wonderful," he muttered. He headed towards the door. Looks like he would have to go after them. The things he did for his friends…

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Neville, getting up from the floor. Ed wasn't going out too right? That was going to get Gryffindor in even more troubles.

"To go get them," said Ed as if it was the most simplest thing to say in the world. He pushed the open the portrait. In the front of the portrait, the Fat Lady wondered why on earth there were so many people leaving tonight.

"You can't do that! You're going to get in trouble," said Neville. What was wrong with everyone tonight? Did they all want to get expelled?

Ed rolled his eyes. He was not in the mood for this. Not now. "Sorry Neville. Petrificus Totalus!" Neville's body sprang back together, locked by the full-body bind. He fell to the floor with a 'thud'. "Sorry Neville, but I need to go after them." Ed left the common room. Before he went tracking Harry and the others down, he might as well wake Roy up. If his hunch was right, he was going to need the Flame Alchemist's help because Harry, Ron and Hermione were going after the Philosopher's Stone. Ed, for once, was not looking forward to tackling all those spells by himself.

------------------

"Goddamn it!!! Open the door!!!" Ed pounded on the door to Roy's room. Since there was a current shortage of teachers' room (they were either occupied, being fixed, or didn't have anything) Roy was stuck with a regular, unused classroom located near the library.

Outside, Ed heard several noises. Many of which sounded like stumbling and the stubbing of toes. Moments later, Roy opened his door, looking extremely sleepy. Roy rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on whoever was knocking on his door this late at night. His clothes were a crinkled mess. "What's going on Fullmetal?" he asked tiredly.

"Harry, Ron, and Hermione went after Snape who is after the Philosopher's Stone!"

Roy snapped awake as he heard that. "What?!"

Ed repeated himself. "They went after the Philosopher's Stone!"

------------------

Minutes later, both Roy and Ed were standing outside the forbidden corridor. Roy was muttering along the lines of seeing those kids expelled if they made it out of this alive. Ed was thinking similar thoughts. He was going to strangle Harry and Ron and hit Hermione after he found them. Of course, both should've been worrying about their lives and not what they were going to do to the three children when they were found. It was like a parent walking into death's arms, thinking of how they were going to punish their child all the while.

Expecting the three-headed dog they had heard about, Ed and Roy slowly opened the door. The low, expected growl, greeted them…

Standing before them was Fluffy, the three-headed dog. The dog let out another low growl. More strangers… Drool dripped down from its mouth. Behind the large animal was the trapdoor.

Roy just barely dodged one of Fluffy's paws that came at him. "How the hell do we get pass this thing!" shouted Ed. He leaped away from one of the three heads.

"Well they say music soothes the savage beast. Start singing Fullmetal," replied Roy. He sent a flame towards Fluffy, but the three-headed dog just brushed it off.

"That was a joke right?" asked Ed. Roy did not just tell him to sing. There was no way Ed was going to start singing. It would be a very cold day in hell before he started singing.

Roy let out a grunt as one of Fluffy's paws just sent him flying into the wall. "Yeah, well, someone once told me that if I try hard enough I could crack glass with my horrible voice," he said.

---------------Halfway across the world-------------

"ACHOO!"

-------------------

"And I'm supposed to believe that?!" shouted Ed.

"We can discuss whether I can sing or not later, Fullmetal," said Roy, "but I'm not going to take that chance, so SING!"

"Would you believe me if I told you I can't sing either?" asked Ed.

"That's an ORDER!!!"

Ed cursed under his breath. That was SO not fair. If they got out of this alive, Roy was sure to tease him about this. "Fine," Ed cursed under his breath. "Now to choose a song…"

Roy apparently heard him. "I don't care what song you sing, Ed, just SING IT!" Fluffy suddenly let out a loud growl.

Ed pinched himself, hoping that this was a dream. It wasn't. Ed let out a sigh. Kami-sama, this was going to be embarrassing. Choosing the first song that came to his mind, he began to sing. "Rocka-by-baby on the tree top. When the wind blows the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And down will come baby, cradle and all."

'Not a bad voice,' Roy mused to himself. Apparently Fluffy agreed, as the three-headed dog's movements began to slow down. As Ed continued to repeat the verse of the nursery rhyme, Fluffy's eyelids began to droop. Roy quickly headed towards the trapdoor.

"Hurry up, Fullmetal," he whispered. Ed made his way towards the trapdoor. Unfortunately, he forgot to keep singing. Within seconds after Ed stopped singing, Fluffy woke up.

Ed's eyes widened. "Yikes!" Fluffy let out a loud growl and leapt towards Ed. Ed tried to dodge the dog's sharp teeth only to have the end of his red coat caught by said teeth.

"Damnit," Roy cursed quickly. "We don't have time to play games," he told Ed in a louder voice.

"Does it look like I'm playing games?!" Ed waved his hands furiously as he dangled by the ends of his coat. Roy seriously wanted to his head against the wall. Taking careful aim, Roy shot his fire towards Fluffy again.

Fluffy let out a howl of pain as the flame hit him right in the eye. The dog swung his head back and forth, trying to put the fire out. In the process, it let go of Ed, who went flying into the wall. "Ow… geeze," muttered Ed.

Ed didn't have much time to nurse his 'wounds' as Roy grabbed him and threw him down the trapdoor. Then Roy jumped down after him. They had succeeded in getting past the first trap. Now they had to face whatever lied under the trapdoor…

Lita, always remember… Before you conquer your enemy, you must conquer your worst enemy… Your own fears!
