...we landed on platform 9 3/4.
Chapter 3 - The Train Ride and Meeting the Headmaster
"Here we are platform 9 3/4; the train should be here in a few minutes." I told everyone, because, before we left Hogworts, Dumblodore told me not to bring them to headquarters but to Hogworts instead. And there they will be trained up to there year and given information about the wizarding world. I hadn't really told Harry this yet incase Voldermort tried to tap onto his mind to find out what are plan for the Elric's were.
"Hey Phox," Harry called out to me snapping me out of my thoughts, "I thought we were to taking them," whipping his thumb back at the Elric's who were looking around the station in wonder at all the magical stuff like a couple a muggle born 1st years. Harry lowed his voice to a whisper, "to headquarters"
"Change of plans."I replied simply.
In the background a train whistle went off signaling to us that the train was here and it was time to board.
"Well boys," I called over to Ed and Al "It's time to go to Hogworts."
"Lets go" called Harry "we need to introduce you to the Headmaster, then off to Diagon Ally for your school supplies." This snapped them out of their awe of the scarlet train.
"Hun? Oh ya, lets go Al." Ed called out.
"Coming brother." he replied back
I gibbed my trunk and walked on to the train and into the first compartment and left the door open for the guys. I sept up on the seat by the window and lifted my trunk into the lounge rack and opened it. I started digging around my trunk around for my CD player so, I can listen to my music while Harry explain to the guys all about Quidditch. "...there are two beaters and a keeper..." I slip my headphones over my ears and turn it on to Simple Plans "Shut Up" AN I'm not going to give you the words so if you want the lyrics go too http/display.lyrics. I sat there with my eyes closed mouthing the words and tapping my foot, completely oblivious to the world around me when suddenly Harry yanked off my left head phone and yelled in my ear. I jumped and almost half a foot in the air and screamed "God Dammit Harry What do you want!"
Everyone in the compartment started laughing. Harry finally choked out, "I wanted to get you opinion on what classes theses two should take. I told them defiantly not potions, but they should take transfiguration and charms and they really want to take potions too. Which I think is crazy, going into N.E.W.T. potions they will have to do a ton of studying to get in."
"What can I say,"said Ed "Potions sounds really interesting as do charms and transfiguration."
"Well Care of Magical Creatures sounds really good to me." said Al in a soft voice. You think "he seems like a real softy, a lot like Hagrid." I say to them "Potions is really hard and Snape is just a jerk to everyone but it is a good class, charms is really fun too, and transfiguration is really hard but a good bit more science magic then charms and potions is really a magical science class then anything. But I think you two would love transfiguration it's a good bit like alchemy. You should also think about taking Defense Against the Dark Arts, its really helpful and useful in this time of war." I look over at Al "And Care of Magical Creatures I heard was really good, I never took it but Harry did." as I look over at him with a evil glint in my eye that told him "payback". Al then turned to Harry and started questioning him like a five year old trying to guess there Christmas presents. As Ed started to ask me questions about the other classes.
Later as the sun was setting, the boys quitted down and started looking out the window in hopes of seeing the school. About 10 minuets later we stopped at Hogsmeasde station and there was a carriage there with two thestrals to pull us up to the school.
"What are those things pulling the carriage?" asked Ed
"Oh there Thestrals," said Harry "only people who have seen death can see them."
"Oh, who did you see die?...we saw are mother." Ed told us in a small voice
"This guy named Cedric Diggory in my 4th year he was murdered by a man named Wormtail on the order of Lord Voldermort and many others but after that is when I started seeing them.
"Can you see them too Phox?" Ed asked I though about it I know I could say no so I don't have to tell them about it about my past, and how Hogworts became my haven, and how he hurt me but I shouldn't lie it will make me more like them.
"Ya, I can see them too...It was my parents, they where both murdered when I was 3 about 2 weeks apart." I lowered my gaze down to the ground trying hard not to let the tears come as I relived there deaths in my mind...I was walking happily through a field holding my mothers hand, I look up to see her smile kindly down to me she was in a simple red dress her long brown hair pulled back. I smile back to her with a simple laugh add in as a breeze came throwing my red hair and my mothers brown around. Suddenly the wind stopped and man on a house drew his sword and cut me mother from her left shoulder down to her right side. Her scream filled the air her red dress became cover in blood. The man jumped off his horse and grabbed me and beat me in the face and threw me down into the ground. I landed face first and I felt him cutting into my back I began to scream. He soon finished and rode off on his horse leaving me for dead as his mark that these were his killings. But a punch of adrenaline and survival instinct forced me to move to find others I wonder back towards my home and fell unconscious about 100 yards away nearly dead from blood loss...We had left the small town in Japan that we lived in before my mother died and moved back to my fathers home country of England. We were walking down an empty street when from behind us. My father sensing the danger pushed me into the near by bushes and throw me his ring just before the hooded and masked man stabbed him in the heart with a knife. As my father fell I wanted to run out and hold him but I sat still knowing that the killers would get me too if I move a muscle. His flaming red hair which I got from him turned blood red from the blood that made a pool around his head...
I suddenly sapped back to reality when I felt the cold steel of Al's armor on my shoulder. Asking me if I was ok. "What oh ya, I'm fine." I told him as I wiped away the tears on my face that must have fell from my green eyes when I was thinking about them. "Well lets get going we got to get up to castle and meet Dumbledore in the Great Hall." I told them I stared to climb in to the carriage and waited for the others to get in. It was kinda cramped with Al in too. I saw Harry shooting me sympathetic looks because he know what basically happened to them and he knows what its like to live without a mother and father only horrible substitutes. I tried hard to avoid all of there glance at me by staring out the window but it didn't help. I could feel all of there eyes on me with ether confusion or sympathy.
About ten minuets later but felt like 20 the carriage bummed to a halt and we all climbed out. I lead the group up the path to the oak front doors and pushed them open. I look behind me to see Ed's jaw dropped at how wonderful it was. I just started to laugh as Ed was looking like a kids first time in a candy shop. Harry looked at me asking me what was so funny and I just pointed at Ed's face and he started laugh too. Ed snapped out of his shock and look at us like we were crazy and that just made me laugh harder. When he ask what was so funny I just kept laughing while saying "Your face ,ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Well, what all this excitement about?" called out a gentle voice from behind us. Harry turned around and called out "Prof. Dumbledore!" and he ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Is this the boy I sent you to find?" he ask indicting Ed.
"Yes sir this is Edward Elric," I said pointing to Ed "and this is his younger brother Alphonse Elric." indicating Al
"Ah, good, good. Well Mr. Elric, we will need to get you a body, we can't have the students thinking that are school armor is taking classes, now can we."
"Well, um, no sir I guess we can't" said Al with his hand on rubbing the back of his head if he was human you bet he would be blushing.
"Well come in, we will have you being shorted in front of the whole school on Sept. 1 after the first years. Until then you will being staying in the Gryffindor dormitory. Mr. Potter, Miss Chant, would you kindly show the elder Mr. Elric the dormitory. Mr. Elric junior would you please follow me I will get you all fix up." The Headmaster then lead Al off in the direction of him office. Harry stared climbing the main stairs that lead up to the dormitory.
We then later arrived at the Fat Lady's picture she told us that the passwords will not be set up till Sept.1 in the morning so they don't have to memorize them over the summer with no one to help. So we just walk in and Harry showed Ed which room the guys will be staying in. I wonder up the girls staircase to my room. That will be mine all year, just mine. Because of the war a lot of fathers have removed there daughters form school or they have been murder by the death eaters. So all the girls either get there own room or get a roommate. And I was one of the few that get there own room. I got my stuff out of my trunk and start decorating my room. I put up my posters of my favorite rock bands, pull out my cd player and my cd's and put them on my dresser, then pulled out my wand and placed a simple magic repellant charm that lets muggle objects work inside Hogworts. I put in my Simple Plan cd. The music blared out of it, I still had my wand and changed my walls to a dark blue and my sheets to dark blue too. After that I wonder down into the empty common room and sat there in front of the fire looking down at my fathers ring. The ruby and two shippers next to it glittered in the fire light. Suddenly the portrait hole open and enter a human Al and Dumbledore. Al has short sandy blonde hair, golden eyes just like his brothers and he is about 5'1 which is about 1inch shorter then Ed.
"Wow Al you are looking good especially in that school uniform. Even if it is a bit big on you." I call across the common room.
"Well you all should get heading off to Diagon Ally soon and Mr Elric, I would suggest you borrow some clothes from Mr. Potter or your brother then be off, alright, good. Well off you go." called out the headmaster, he then walk out the portrait hole. Al run up the boys stair case and then about 5 min later come down with a extremely stunned Ed.
"Well I see Ed is shocked but its time to be of to Diagon Ally! We will be traveling by floo powder, because that is about as fast as we can get there." I walk over to the fire and pick up the bag of powder and I turn back to the guys. "Ok to travel by floo powder you must first grab a handful of powder," I demisted the hand ful of powder, "Then step into the fire," I step almost into the the fire, "Then throw the powder down on the ground and call out the name of your destination. I will go first then Ed, Al and finally Harry." I walk over the fire place drop the bag of powder and step into the fire, throw down the powder and call out "Diagon Ally!"
