Chapter 2
---------------------------
After questioning Ed and Harry, they have been taken to a near-by Order safe-house.
"IDIOT!" Yelled Tonks as she hit Harry hard across the face. "And you too, Edward!"
"What did I do?" Asked Edward indignantly.
"You know that guy!" she yelled, "But I'm angry at Harry, the ministry wants to expel him. They think all the spells were from him!"
"In all fairness," said Harry, "I was a life-or-death situation..."
"But the ministry doesn't know that." said Moody, taking a swig from his hip-flask, "and they don't believe Dumbledore."
"Who's this Dumbledore?" asked Ed. They all looked at him aghast.
"I forget, that you didn't know you were a wizard until a little while ago, Dumbledore is one of the most powerful wizards ever." said Harry.
Edward just said "o," feeling as if he was stupid.
"Now, we need to get you enrolled, Dumbledore thinks you can probably handle 6th year work," Said Tonks pointing at Edward, "And Harry, we need to get you to Head Quarters." she pointed to Harry. "now, lets go, Moody, you take Ed by flo, and Lupin and I will take Harry to HQ."
"Come here, boy." Said Moody, gesturing to Ed. "I suppose I'll have to teach you how to use flo powder." He pulled a bag out of robe, taking a pinch of some powder out of it, he tossed it into the fire place. The flames turned a vibrant green, and before Ed could stop him, he stepped into the fire. "Now boy, you just say where you want to go, and you'll go, we're going to Diagon ally, so just say 'The Leaky Calderon'-" as he said this the flames flared up and he was gone.
Throwing caution to the wind, Ed stepped into the fire. It created a pleasantly warm sensation around him. "The Leaky Calderon!" yelled Ed. He began to spin, but before he became sick from it he was already there and he had fallen out of the fire place right onto a rather grimy mantel.
"Wha-What happened?" Ed asked dazed.
Moody who was standing, waiting for Ed and taking another sip out of his hip flask, began to laugh. "First time using flo, boy? Don't you like it?"
"Yeah," said Ed sarcasm practically dripping off of his words, "Just like the first time doing more enjoyable things." Moody just continued to laugh.
---------------------------
"Harry," Said Dumbledore. "I know you don't need a lecture, so I'm not going to give you one. Additionally, I don't believe you were in the wrong. So Harry, how are you?"
"Good...good, sir." Said Harry startled at Dumbledore's response.
"Now, Harry," Said Dumbledore seriously, "I'm going to give you information on the Order, not right now later, and at Hogwarts I will be tutoring you privately."
"Thank you, sir." replied Harry.
"Oh, before I go, I should inform you that outside the door over there," Dumbledore pointed to a door to Harrys right. "Your friends have their ears firmly pressed against it, and are dying to see you." He waved his wand, and Hermione and Ron fell into the room. Dumbledore walked past them and was gone.
"Harry!" Yelled Hermione, running up and encasing Harry in a bone-crushing hug. "All you all right" before waiting for a response, she continued. " We were worried, we heard something happened, but they wouldn't give us any details, oh and Ginny aplogizes for not being here to greet you, she's being held hostage by Mrs. Weasly upstairs." She said this all as one long sentence.
"Would you wait for him to answer, Hermione?" Asked Ron annoyed, "and you might want to release him so he can breathe!"
"Oh sorry, Harry." She said releasing him and blushing.
"So, how are you?" asked Ron.
"Good," said Harry. " except, the Ministry wants to expel me, again."
"What did you do, and why do you have that bruise on your face?" asked Hermione concerned.
"Um...the bruise is from where Tonks hit me, and I used magic to defend myself when I was attacked along with a friend." said Harry nervously.
"Whoa, Harry," Said Ron, "What did you do to piss-off the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? You shouldn't be getting the teachers mad before the start of the school year!" He said grinning.
"Who attacked you, and who's this friend?" said Hermione, shooting Ron a cold look.
"Harry," Said Ron grinning even more, "Don't tell me you have a girlfriend, and you have been keeping her a secret for all these years!"
"Ron!" said Hermione giving him a look that clearly told him to 'shut up'.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend, the friend was Edward Elric, I met him over summer break, and it turns out he's a wizard, though he didn't know it until recently.-" said Harry as he was cut off by Hermione.
"How couldn't he knew he was a wizard?" Asked Hermione.
"I'm not sure, he seemed to be really weird, and he didn't seem to know a lot, even though he was really smart." said Harry.
"What kind of things didn't he know?" Asked Ron curiously.
"For example, he was really surprised to find cars in such wide-spread use, at least thats what he told me." Said Harry.
---------------------------
"Who do you think you are calling me a super small midget!" yelled Ed as he charged the blond-haired boy who introduced himself as Malfoy. Moody, surprisingly as he had just stunned Ed before, let him pummel Malfoy.
Malfoy ran off covering a bloody nose and yelling something about how his father will hear about this. Moody yelled after him about how Malfoys father was a filthy death-eater.
The rather shaken book seller got back to business, "now what books do you need?" he asked.
Ed, who had changed all the money he had in his 'muggle' accounts into wizarding currency, he had quite a bit of money. "All the books from 1st year to 7th year...and this stuff on the dark arts and any books you have on alchemy." said Ed.
"We only have one book on alchemy, and it costs 3500 galleons(A/N is the spelling right?). It was written in the 15th century. Do you still want it?" asked the clerk.
"Yeah, so what will the total be?" Ed inquired.
"Around 4500 galleons, but for the Dark Arts stuff, you need to have your legal guardian sign." said the Clerk.
"I am my legal guardian." said Ed.
"Oh, then where would you like them delivered?"
"Room 14, at the Leaky Cauldron." stated Edward.
---------------------------
"I'll be leaving you now, boy." said Moody.
"Thanks for showing me around...or and thanks for helping out in the wand shop." said Edward.
"No problem, boy." said Moody laughing as we walked out of Eds room.
Ed ducked as the racks of wand exploded around him, for the 15th time.
"No problem, no problem." Said the Man, Mr.Olivander, jerking the wand out of Ed's hand, and handing him another one.
That had gone on for several hours, Edward shuddered as he remembered it. He picked up the 5th year books and began reading, he had already memorized everything in the books from the previous years.
---------------------------
"Harry!" Yelled Ginny running up and hugging him, though she, unlike Hermione, quickly released him. "Mum just told us, we got our letters telling us what books we need, and we can go to Diagon Ally in three days. Here's yours." She said, handing him a letter.
"Great." said Harry absent mind idly, opening his letter. "I'm the new Gryffindor Quidditch captain!" He said holding up a badge.
---------------------------
"This alchemy book," said Ed to no one in particular, "is trash, they have no clue what they are talking about, all the theory's' are all wrong, and can easily be dis-proven." he tossed his 3500 galleon piece of junk into his trunk.
Edward had been at the Leaky Cauldron for three days, and had already read and memorized all the books he had bought. It was beginning to sink in how different magic was. In his mind it was still impossible, it followed no rules, and seemed to go against everything he knew to be true.
He walked out of his room going down to the main, dining room. As he went down he gestured to Tom, the bartender for his usual. He saw the usual arrivals in the fireplace, and was surprised when he saw Harry and who he assumed where his friends arriving.
"Hi, Harry." said Ed enthusiastically waving at Harry.
"Hi Ed," said Harry, "This is Hermione," Harry pointed to the girl to his right, "and this is Ron." He pointed to the boy to his left.
"How do you do?" asked Ed.
"Good, yourself?" replied Ron
"Good..." said Ed.
"So, what year are you going to be in? First?" asked Hermione.
"Are you saying I'm short?" asked Ed angrily, "And no, for your information I'll be in sixth."
"How can you be in sixth?" Asked Hermione. "There's no way you can catch up with all the work, term starts in two days."
"Well, I've already memorized all of the books from first to seventh year, and I've also read all the books that the stupid book shop carried on the dark arts, transfiguration(He had made another trip to the bookstore) and alchemy." said Ed.
"Oh, great..another one." said Ron grinning, "You're worse than Hermione."
"You really read all those books?" said Hermione pulling out a book on quizzing for every year.
