Chapter 6: Winry's Arrival
It was morning and the sun was shining. Mrs. Weasley had left earlier to pick up Winry at Ed's request. Hermione and Ginny were left to take care of breakfast.
The boys were still sleeping upstairs. Ginny decided to wake them up early by throwing a dungbomb in their room. In a few moments, Harry, Ron and Ed ran out of the room gasping for breath.
"Get down here and eat breakfast!" Hermione called.
"She's acting like Mum." Ron said heading downstairs.
Outside
"Thank you for picking me up Mrs. Weasley." Winry said.
"It was no problem dear. It's just a wonder that a girl your age is a mechanic." She opened the door and Winry followed her inside.
"Mum's home." Ron said.
The group heard another voice with Mrs. Weasley's.
"Uh-oh." Ed said.
"What's 'uh-oh'?" Harry asked.
"EDWARD!"
"That is…" Al said.
Winry had burst into the kitchen, wielding her wrench. She threw it and nailed Ed square in the eyes, knocking him unconscious.
"Blimey, what'd you do him?" Ron asked.
"He'll be fine. It's not the first time he's broken it." she said.
Ed woke up about an hour later, his head throbbing.
"Ow…"
He sat up and found he was sitting on his bed. He saw Winry sitting on a chair near him.
"Good, you're awake. Now take your shirt off so I can fix your arm." she said.
"Where's Al?" Ed asked while undressing.
"He's downstairs playing with his cat. Tell me Ed, what's going on here? What are you doing in England?" she asked.
"Well, as soon as we got back to Central, Mustang calls us and gives us these letters supposedly from a 'magic' school. For some reason, Al and I were enrolled without ever knowing. That's why we're in England." he finished.
"Magic? But that's just a fantasy isn't it?" she said.
"That's what I thought, but now I'm not too sure. I needed you to come because the school starts in a couple of days." he said.
"And what will I do for the school year? We both know you can't stay out of trouble." Winry said with a smile.
"I think Harry said something about people from the school coming here once in a while. I'll ask him who I should talk to about letting you stay at the school, but not as a student.." he stopped, gritting his teeth against the pain.
"All done!" she said standing up.
"Thanks for coming out here Winry." Ed said, stretching.
"It was no problem. I'm charging you extra for the train ticket." She told him as she left dowstairs.
Ed had gone downstairs to look for Harry. He found him in the kitchen with Winry and an old man with a long silver beard and hair dressed in purple robes and a pair of horn-rimmed glasses sitting on his nose. There was a certain kindness in the man's eyes. He looked towards Ed.
"You must be Edward Elric." The man said.
"Yeah, who are you?" Ed asked.
"My name is Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts school. Though I think we had met before."
"Actually Professor, I believe Ed was sleeping at that time." Harry said.
"Right, thank you Harry." Dumbledore nodded. "Now, Ms. Rockbell has informed me of your special needs Mr. Elric. We have agreed to let her work as an assistant to Madame Pomfrey in the hospital wing. I will look forward to seeing you all at Hogwarts tomorrow night." With that said, he rose from his chair and left.
