Ok, let me make a few things clearer for everyone, in the last chapter, when Oliver was talking about J.K., I meant J.K. Rowling, it was a joke, and when Harry said , "We better get her back to the common room…" it was a typo, he was talking about Hermione XPPP Just thought I'd clear some stuff up for y'alls!
So SORRY I didn't update sooner! V.v
And since it's been so long, here is what has transpired in the last chapter:
Roy has finally located the lost Edo, only to find he's having complete loss of his cool. Meanwhile at Hogwarts, Oliver and Ron were currently found in a broom cupboard together, how will that affect our plot? I can't tell you that, silly readers, Trix are for kids! (I think that might be copywrited to the trix rabbit…) Al is currently snooping around the castle with his cute cuddly feline friend, happily incognito, but how long will that last?
AND NOW WITHOUT FURTHER BANTER, AND NO MORE ADO, I GIVE YOU:
CHAPTER ELEVEN!
"What's your name, kitty?" Al held up the purring tabby to his helmet, looking closely at its nametag, "Cat? Boy, whoever named you that has NO imagination what-so-ever, but I guess you can hang out with me while I keep watch." He tucked the small cat next to his armor as someone walked by.
Cat silently agreed with her new friend's conclusion, the loud blonde boy had little or no creativity. The only reason she chose to stay with him was because of his wonderful METAL arm, or so she told herself, but this stranger, he WAS metal, and it would be an understatement to say that Cat loved metal. She shrugged her little cat shoulders; now if only they were related, she thought.
scene change –cancan dancers- scene change
Harry, Ron and Neville lay panting on the floor of the Gryphindor common room a half hour later. "Damn she's heavy!" Ron panted, looking disgustedly at Hermione, "Must be all those books she carries around."
another scene change! Woooooo! -mushroom mushroom!-
Meanwhile, back in Central, Riza was exhausted. She had arrived early that morning to find a mountain of paperwork on Roy Mustang's desk and upon approaching it she found random documents stuffed in the drawers and shoved under the rug. So it goes without saying that the second Lieutenant was in a bad mood. Even Havoc, who took particular joy in tormenting her, steered away from the room she occupied at the moment because he was sure that he heard the evil cackling of one who was about to get her revenge.
So now we skip on ahead to the present time, twelve o'clock noon, Fury has just gotten his lunch and has now took his respective seat next to Havoc, Breda and Falman. Without warning the door of Colonel Mustang is thrown open and a person with a giant, paper-filled, box staggers out.
"That's it!" The person, a female person to be exact, shrieks, "I've had damn near enough! No longer shall we do his paperwork for him!"
"Oi!" Havoc cried as Riza Hawkeye dropped the box in front of the bewildered man and waved a paper in front of his face.
"You see this!" She said in a low voice, a mad gleam in her eye.
"Yeah…" Havoc gulped and his face turned red as he finished his sentence, "It's a picture of Scar…"
"Well you know what I think about it!" Riza glared around at the rest of the room.
"W-what?" Jean was nervous now.
Hawkeye wadded up the picture and threw it on the ground, along with another important-looking document, "That's what I think of it!" she cackled.
Everyone just stared at her; apparently it had happened, Second Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye had finally cracked, and the room was a buzz of noise as she stormed out of the room raving about how she was going to go to some place called Hogwarts and kick Roy's ass.
Luckily in the uproar no one seemed to notice Jean Havoc lean down and pick up the wadded photo of Scar, smooth it out, put it in his pocket and mumble "What a waste of a perfectly good picture."

Ed didn't answer at first; his eyes were still glued to the mirror. Roy shook the younger alchemist's shoulder more firmly, "Ed," he demanded, "Look at me."
Slowly, Edward turned his head to look at the colonel. His voice was nothing more than a hoarse whisper, "Roy?"
"…" Roy looked at Ed, deciding not to speak just yet, but keeping his hand on the boy's shoulder, just in case.
Ah, yes, Roy Mustang is forever prepared for everything, but not for what happened ten seconds later. What Edward did could be defined (in fangirl terms) as a glomp; but of course, we are (sadly) not speaking in fangirl terms.
The next thing Roy knew, he was almost being thrown backwards as Ed 'glomped' (for lack of better word) him, burying his head into Mustang's blue uniform, holding onto to him as if Roy was the only thing keeping him from falling off the earth into oblivion. The first reaction the flame alchemist could come up with was to circle his arms protectively around the older of the two Elrics and hold him closer.
"Edward…" Roy said after many long minutes had passed and Ed's sobs had slowed, "Ed, what's wrong?"
Edward looked up for the first time; his golden eyes were still bright from crying and his hair was messy from burying his head in Roy's chest, but he took a deep breath before he told what he saw…. cliffhanger XP
----------
"Meow!" Cat mewled as she padded down the halls. Silently she cursed, she had gone to explore a shady-looking corner for no more than two seconds, (ten minutes, actually) and her large friend had disappeared.
So it was with a forlorn look that Cat walked down the halls of Hogwarts, that is, until she saw a piece of something shiny and metallic looking. For at least a good twenty minutes she would be content to just rub against the metal based object until she was bored again, or until someone new found her.
----------
"Ohhh!" Hermione squealed in delight as she encountered a small kitten in the hallway rubbing against a piece of armor, she had just recently woken up in the common room and now decided to go and research/study more on whatever the hell she does when you can't see her and the book is revolving around Harry.
"Kitty!" a small tinny voice sounded from down the hall, causing Hermione to snap her head around, then head to where she thought the voice had come from.
"Hello?" she peered suspiciously at the suits of armor lining the halls, "is someone there?"
Cat jumped from the brown-haired girl's arms and ran over to Al, "Meow!" translation: So that's where you were!
----------
Al stiffened as soon as he'd spoken, why hadn't he listened to Ed when said alchemist had told him to cut back on screaming 'kitty' every time they encountered one of the small fuzzy mammals?
The brown-haired girl was getting closer now, and his cat had jumped out of her arms and was now rubbing against him, meowing. Great, Al thought, just great…
TBC!
Okay, sorry that took soooooo long to get to you guys! V.v UUU but hey, at least I got it done XPPP okie day, hurry up and R&R!
