say,
To Rosie: Um, is that a threat? snaps fingers and soldiers come out of secret passageways Oh, I didn't think so.
KitsuneOfShadows: They will get to Hogwarts in the next chapter, promise.
Hellokitty-4-ever : Yes you are insane, I have no clue how to bring Winry in, and as to the crest I don't really have a clue, the anime is not that informative…
Lazerducky27: Yes Ron and Alcohol is VERY bad.
Fanficmaniac: sorry but I'm saving the alchemy for later, or maybe not…
"Who are you?" Said Ed rather disrespectfully.
"Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, or, should I say, you new superior
Officer," Said Dumbledore with a strange glint in his eye, looking for any reaction from
Ed.
"I don't know why you would put it like that," said Ed barely maintaining his disgust, as
he thought that this Dumbledore fellow must know.
"I see," said Dumbledore softly "Well I believe, that you should be truthful with us, but
it's you choice," He sent a piecing look at Ed, which Ed interpreted as "Share or Die".
"Fine, sir" Ed spat, "I am an Alchemist, from Ametris, I am here to lean the art of
magic," Ed said the last word with some disgust.
"I have some trouble believing that," said Dumbledore, "The last Alchemist in this area
of the world was a good friend of mine, but he came here a long time ago…" he said
trailing off, "Now please demonstrate your power and knowledge if you have any." He
said the glint back in his eye.
"What do you mean, 'if I have any'" yelled Ed furiously, "I'll have you know, I became a
State Alchemist at the age of twelve!" he yelled as he clapped his hands together, touched
them to the wall, and as he did this, a perfect statue of Albus Dumbledore grew out of the
ground.
"well what do you think if that?" said Ed.
Ron and Harry looked at each other and at the same time said, "Bloody Hell, wandless
magic!" with stars of awe in their eyes.
Hermione was next with an exclamation of "WOW! Can you give me a book on that
stuff?"
Dumbledore just smiled and asked, "So, will you be willing to share your knowledge?"
"I might, but just a few things first," said Ed looking pleased, "First Alchemy is not
wandless magic, second to view books on the subject, you would have to go to Central
City, because the ones I have a personal, and third, Alchemy is a science, that functions
only because of equivalent trade (Yeah thought Ed or is it only explained to children that
way?) which means I share and you share, more than just basic magic."
"That sounds reasonable," said Dumbledore, "Now I think it's time for all of us to retire,
but just let me speak to Harry first, in private." He said shooting a piecing gaze at them.
They shuffled out of the hall, the twins shooting back furtive glances.
"So," said Dumbledore obviously uncomfortable "Have a nice summer so far?"
"How could I?" asked Harry immediately reverting into his depressed self, "Serious died
because of my idiocy?" he said raising his voice to a hoarse yell.
"HARRY!" Dumbledore said sternly, "It's not your fault, and furthermore, Serious went
the way he would have wanted to go if he had to go, and he wouldn't want you to mope
on his account!" and for the first time in his life, Dumbledore struck someone, he hit
Harry across the face, his good will and patience had finely snapped after a summer of
Harry being depressed. Harry looked stunned, his face already had a bruise forming where
Dumbledore had hit him.
"Now good night Harry," said Dumbledore walking out of the hall.
Harry was confused, Dumbledore had hit him, he walked up stairs in a daze, ignoring
the looks from the pictures on the wall.
"Harry, mate, what's wrong?" asked Ron worriedly, Harry had walked up in a daze,
looking like he had seen someone die, again. "Harry?" asked Ron.
"He hit me." Said Harry fingering the side of his face where Ron could already see a
bruise forming.
"Who hit you?" said Ron, "Dumbledore?"
"yeah," said Harry in wonder.
"Why?" said Ron in disbelief.
"He said I was moping to much," said Harry still having a hard time believing what had
happened, "And he hits hard."
At that moment, Ed so tactfully interjected with, "Suck it up Harry."
"What do you want twerp!" snarled Harry.
"Do you think that you're the only person in the world who's lost someone?" Said Ed
calmly, 'You not, we've all lost someone at one time or another."
"What would you know about lose!" screamed Harry.
"What would I know?" said Ed raising his voice dangerously, "I saw my mother pass
away in front of my eyes, I have seen battles, taken place in them and have even killed,
what would I know about what lose causes and the effects? I believe a lot, but you
obviously beg to differ.!" Ron's mouth was hanging open in his shock, and Harry just
started shamefully down at the floor.
"I apologize." Said Harry not looking at Ed as he got into bed.
"Um…Ed.." said Ron, "Did you really kill people?"
"Yes one," said Ed deep regret in his voice remembering his battle with the homunculus.
"Ed," said Ron, "Could you do me a favor, be nice to Harry, he thinks that everything's
his fault, so just,… well…humor him." Said Ron turning over and going to sleep.
The last thing Ed thought before sleep closed in around him was what a strange lot theses
wizards were.
