Chapter 5: Letters

In Resembool

Winry sat on the front steps of her house with her dog, Den.

"We haven't had business in days. I guess that means Ed's been staying out of trouble." she said.

Then Den started barking.

"What is it boy?"

She looked up and saw a large, brown barn owl fly towards her. It landed on the steps and held out it's leg. There was a letter tied to it. Winry untied the letter and saw it was addressed to her. She opened it and found in scratchy handwriting:

Dear Winry,

I know this is sudden but I need you to come to England right away, it's my arm. It was an accident I swear!

There's a train heading for King's Cross Station tomorrow morning and I need you to be on it. You may need to stay with us for a year. I'll explain it all when you get here.

See you later,

Ed

P.S. A red-haired woman named Mrs. Weasley will be there to pick you up.

"Looks like I spoke too soon Den." Winry said. She went inside and explained to Granny Pinako that she had to leave and do some maintenance on Ed's arm again.

"He said he wants me to stay with them for a year." Winry said while packing her tools.

"Did he say why?" Pinako asked.

"No, but he said he'd explain when I got there. I don't really have a choice but to go." She said heading upstairs to pack her clothes.

In Central HQ

Roy Mustang sat in his office, torching his paperwork. He was glad that Riza wasn't in there, placing well-aimed shots near his head.

There was a tapping of his window. He looked over and saw an owl with two letters in it's beak. He got up and let the owl fly in and land on his desk. It dropped the letters and he saw one addressed to him and the other to Riza.

"Lieutenant, get in here!" he said quickly.

"Did you set your hair on fire again sir?" she asked.

"Read this." He said, throwing her the letter. He was already reading his.

"This can't be happening." Roy said. "It's Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts? Our old school?" Riza asked.

"Yes. It seems they are adding an Alchemy class and they would like me to teach it."

"But why would they contact me?" Riza questioned.

"They probably think I haven't grown up and need to be kept in line." Roy chuckled. "We'd better pack. Term starts in two days. They've allowed us to stay in Hogsmeade until term starts."
