Before I do anything else, I want to let the readers know that I AM reposting the ending of the last chapter, so you might want to read it again!

"What do you want, Hermione?" Ron and Harry gasped as they came to a halt at the top of a random tower that Hermione told them to come to in the middle of the night at their own risk. Of course, being the eleven-year-old boys that they are, they readily agreed.
"Okay," Hermione brushed her brown hair from her face and looked seriously at the two. "I called you here to talk about Edward."
"But why here?" Ron sighed exasperatedly.
"Yeah, Ed's gone for the break." Harry crossed his arms.
"I'm just going to cut to the chase, Harry, I think you're in danger!" Hermione pulled some papers from a file cabinet.
"Danger?" Ron interjected," Why's Harry in danger?"
"Look at these…" she spread out a series of papers in front of the two, "The name sound familiar?"
Harry leaned closer to the paper and blinked, "It says something about a hero of the people, the state alchemist, Edward Elric, or the Fullmetal Alchemist…" He blinked again, his brain taking all this information a little slowly.
"It's got to be a coincidence!" Ron snorted, "There's no way Ed could be a State whatever…"
A suspiciously anime-like vein took this chance to make itself known on Hermione's forehead. Taking a slow and supposedly calming breath Hermione said slowly, "Do you know how old Ed is, Ronald?"
"erm.."
"He's fifteen." She massaged her temples, "Do you know how old the 'hero of the people' is?"
Ron squinted at the paper, scanning it, but Harry got there first, "Says he's fifteen, so what?"
Ron shrugged, Harry scratched his head and Hermione, Hermione just sat there, in disbelief at what she was hearing. "Are you two missing half your brain!" she screeched and pointed a quivering finger at a picture of the star of our favorite anime, "This is Edward!"
"Are you meaning to tell me that our Edward Elric… is THE Edward Elric?" Ron said slowly.
"Finally!" Hermione threw up her hands, as if to thank the heavens themselves, "Thank you Jesus, finally, he gets it!"

Up in heaven Vishnu approached Jesus, "A-hem."
"eh?" Jesus finally recognized the Buddhist god, "Hey! Vishnu, sup man? How ya bee-" but he was cut off as Vishnu smacked him with a glove.
"Glory hog…" he growled.

I would like to take the moment to apologize to any Christians or Buddhists/Hindus that I might have offended, I am truly sorry…

"Okay, was I the only one who saw that or has that killing curse screwed up my brain function?" Harry blinked.
"Saw what?" Ron and Hermione asked in unison.
"Nothing…"
"So, Hermione," Ron turned back to the bushy-haired girl, "what reason does Ed have to be here?"
Hermione carefully stacked the papers, "Well, it's obvious, isn't it?"
"If it was that obvious we would be the ones looking all high and mighty." Harry growled.
"He's here because of you, Harry." Hermione said softly.
"Me?" it took a moment to sink in, "B-but why?"
Ron had kept silent, but now was making himself known, "It's the military," he cut in, "they've sent him here to get close to you, Harry."
"Why would they want to do that?" Harry felt pale and cold.
"You don't think that…?" Ron began, and after a moment's silence, finished, "They want him out of the picture?"
"What do you mean by that?" Hermione shot a glare at Ron.
"Nothing, it just crossed my mind that maybe since Harry's such a celebrity, it's only natural that someone is going to want him dead…" Ron looked sheepish and looked away.
"…" Harry stared blankly at the wall.
"He's got a point, Harry." Hermione put a hand on his shoulder, "Though some of his theory is arguable, maybe we should just play it safe around Ed for awhile…"
"Yeah…" Harry nodded and managed a small smile.
Alphonse slowly moved away from the door, trying not to giggle as it would give him away. Why hadn't I volunteered for this earlier? They're funny. To think, the military sending nii-san to kill the one he's protecting! A metallic giggle escaped him and he froze, along with the three first years in the room.
"What was that?" Harry asked slowly.
"I dunno," Ron turned pale.
Hermione stood and walked towards the door, Al sprang back and froze, pretending to be immobile. "It's just a suit of armor, they must have thousands of this suit, I swear I've seen it before…" She eyed Alphonse with a skeptical eye.
When she went back in, Al would have breathed a sigh of relief, if he could have breathed that is.
TO BE CONTINUED!
