Hey everyone uh before you read the actual story please read this Author's Note first:

So I've been a big fan of Harry Potter crossovers for a while now and have been wanting to write one myself, there's just one big problem... I have very little knowledge on the series as a whole. I know at least a little bit of the basics in each book but I don't know the whole STORY personally. I want to write this as more then a one-shot, I really do but I won't be able to until I do a bit more research.

Until then Feel free to use this as a prompt for you're own take on the story. Trust me it will be a while until I can get around to it.

Now that that's out of the way onto the story, but first:

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist.

The sun hung low on the horizon over the town of Little Whinging, not much was going on aside from the large moving van making it's way onto the street known as Privet Drive. Some residence peeked out of their homes to see the van, that was being followed by a simple looking black Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon to the driveway of the house numbered 6, just across the way from the not yet infamous house Number 4.

Finally stopped into the driveway, the driver of the Turbo stepped out revealing a teenage looking male of asian descent with long black hair tied into a slightly messy pony tail and a bit of hair mildly covering one of his unusual violet colored eyes, he was dressed in all black from his sleeveless shirt under a long trench coat, to his nice dress pants and finally ending at a pair of boots and had a judgmental look on his face.

"This is our house?"

"Just for the next two years," a woman's voice said as the other occupants of the car started to make their way out. The one who spoke seemed to be the only true female of the group with flawless pale skin, long wavy black hair with some of her minor curls framing her face and helping to bring out her violet eyes, her outfit was a long black dress with a slit on one leg to show off her black heeled boots and a pair of long black gloves were apparent under her zipped up jacket with white fluff going on around the collar.

"Hate to agree with him but come on, couldn't we have picked somewhere better?" an androgynous voice questioned, as another long black haired teen stepped out of the back. This teen had a body type that was hard to say if they were male or female. They had black fingerless gloves on that poked their way out of a long black jacket that zipped up enough to leave a "v-neck" in it to show a form fitting top that was, surprise surprise, black and cut off at the middle of their neck. They had long black dress pants and a pair of boots as well, their skin was just as pale as the woman's and their eyes matched the two others in color… though their hair style seemed to be vastly different with what could only be described as "Palm-Tree style" going on and seemed to only be helped into this with a simple black head band with a red triangle on it.

"Envy, Greed, quit whining and get over it. The property and location live up to our requirements and will serve us as a home for the duration of our stay," a young boy said as he was the last one out of the car. Being the only one out of the trend of black clothing but following with the black hair and violet colored eyes trend, the boy looked to be no more than 10 years old but his eyes showed far more knowledge and maturity then his form let on. His hair, unlike the other three, was short and almost proper looking, save for a few strands that stuck up here and there. He wore a simple white button up shirt underneath a dark brown vest, a very simple but proper looking tie, a pair of long blue jeans and a pair of brown dress shoes.

"I don't care if it meets the requirements, it looks so plain and boring like the rest of the neighborhood," the asian one, Greed, stated as he looked around the street full of nearly identical houses with disdain.

"Which again is perfect," the boy responded as he began his way up to the door of their new home, followed closely by the woman who choose not to follow the two teenager's lead and look at the whole block with the same feeling.

"Lust come on! You have to agree the least they could do is add more color!" Envy exclaimed as they followed after the woman and young child, only to be followed by Greed at a much slower pace.

"I trust Pride's decision with this place and so should you," the woman, Lust, answered as she bit back her follow up sentence. Even if you are absolutely right.

They opened the door up to the empty home and soon began to move everything inside, the only one not helping being Greed who sat out on the lawn and pulled out the grass, out of nothing but pure boredom, before letting the small green blades be pulled by the wind. Sighing he laid back into the grass with his arms resting behind his head as a pillow, he went about with watching the clouds and the changing colors thanks to the falling sun.

God I need something interesting to happen soon… Maybe I could stir up another fight with Envy… What do you think Lin- Greed's line of thought stopped and his once bored expression turned into a solemn and guilt filled one.

That's right… I keep forgetting you're gone…

"HEY ASS FACE! IF YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING COME IN AND HELP OUT ALREADY!" Envy's loud voice rang out from one of the windows, causing the saddened mood that Greed was in to turn sour within a minute. Thankfully for them, what their neighbors heard from them was a very German sounding language so they were in the clear to say whatever the hell they wanted and not be understood.

"PRETTY SURE YOU GUYS GOT IT COVERED WITHOUT ME!" Greed shouted back, not really noticing that their argument was drawing a bit more attention to them from their new neighbors. If he did however, he still wouldn't have cared all too much.

"Greed." a quiet, but threatening echoed child's voice reached his ears, causing Greed to turn his violet gaze with caution to the extended shadow that was only noticeable if you were really attempting to look for it… or got lucky and saw the single red eye set into a minor glare.

"Either help out with the house or go explore the town. Don't just sit around and do nothing like Sloth did."

"Fine, fine… See ya suckers!" Soon as he said that, Greed got up and hurried away in an attempt to find something to keep him occupied while his family set up the house.

"GREED WHAT THE HELL? GET BACK HERE!"

"Let it go Envy and finish setting up your room," Lust sighed as she passed by the room where Envy was poking his head out to yell at the mentioned sin.

"Tch… Fine," Envy scowled as he closed the window and began moving some of the furniture that had been placed into the room how he liked it.

….

Greed wandered through the streets of the town that he had just moved into, his hands in his pockets and eyes focused on nothing in particular. The only thing he had really seemed to focus on, even for a moment was some neighbors who reminded him of Chimera's. One being a woman who mildly reminded him of a horse… and the other being what he could only assume as her husband reminded him a little bit of a walrus, though he did have to admit as well that the infant that the woman was carrying had a pretty good resemblance to a pig.

I swear that family isn't even close to being human… Then again who am I to judge. Greed thought to himself as he walked. The air was a lot cleaner here then it was back when they lived in the States for a few years before having to move again. Not to mention it was a little more quiet here as well… however the prospect of having a "quiet" life irked Greed as the need for excitement and to see or do something out of the norm grew stronger the more he thought about it.

Nearly one hundred years in this world and only a handful of events presented themselves…. If we decide to ever intermingle with those fashion rejects of wizards again then maybe more fun could come from it… then again most of them are assholes and would probably screw shit up with us. Mostly those "Purebloods" seriously what's with them? Why don't they just take those sticks out of their asses and wake up to realize that their inbreeding is just disgusting as hell? Just because you're not directly related, doesn't mean their safe to be dated! Greed outwardly shuddered a little bit from that last line of thought. Glancing up and to his left he caught sight of his own reflection in one of the windows of what appeared to be a small store of some sorts. Greed quickly looked away, a pained expression crossing his face after seeing it in the window.

Out of the two forms that "Truth" bastard could have chosen for me to be remade into… he had to pick the brats to keep me in… Shaking his head a bit to clear his thoughts Greed continued walking and tried to focus more on something else. The inhuman got his wish rather quickly as he noticed a human or two walking by in the most obviously out of place looking clothes, from the robes to the nauseating mishmash of color on said robes.

"Wizards…" Greed mumbled in annoyance as he kept his hands firmly placed into his pockets and continued walking forward, silently hoping that the wizard (possibly two if the person in the actual normal clothing was one as well) would notice his unnatural eyes and attempt to start something. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you looked at it, they didn't seem to notice and brushed past the sin, irking him just a bit. Though Greed did relax a little shortly after, knowing that fighting wizards now of all times would be a bad idea… no matter how entertaining it sounded to him.

….

Envy finished setting up their room, doing their best to ignore the human movers that helped with bringing everything in. When some asked if they wanted help with moving any of the heavier looking furniture, Envy would scoff at them and move it theirself. Sometimes while doing that Envy was rather quick to notice out of the corner of their eye that one of the workers would stare at them and quickly look away whenever Envy made it more obvious that they were looking at the man.

"Alright what's your deal?" Envy questioned, their english holding a hint of a german accent in their words. The man that the androgynous sin addressed took up a flustered look before shyly looking away.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. I've seen you watching me and frankly it's getting on my nerves. So I ask again, what's your deal huh?" The mover grew more flustered, which only served to annoy Envy more.

"It's…. It's just… you're uh… Y-you're…."

"I'm what? If you don't spill it out right now I'll-" Envy started, growing more annoyed at how the man was taking so long to get to the point, but was cut off when Pride entered the room. The "child" smiled up at the agitated sin and held a look of innocents.

"Big brother could you help me with my room?" Pride asked in a voice that sounded and made him seem more like the child he looked like. Envy had a blank expression for a moment before realizing the hidden message that clearly stated "Finish that sentence and I'll finish you," and Envy could only sigh.

"Alright, Alright I'll help," was Envy's only response, even though the term "brother" didn't really settle right with them despite having used it for so long… then again Envy would say the same about the term "sister" sure "sibling" had a good ring to it but it was weird to say out loud. As the genderless sin left the room, leaving the "youngest" with the mover, the sin noticed Lust giving them a little smirk.

"Look at you, attracting you're first human male naturally," she spoke in the "German" language, confusing her palm haired sibling.

"What?"

"It's obvious that human finds you attractive. I should know after all," Lust smiled as the confused expression Envy wore turned to surprise and shock.

"Lust…"

"Yes Envy?"

"Is that human broken?!"

...

"Where the hell am I?" Greed questioned out loud as he quite literally got himself lost while walking. He could barely tell where he was anymore. Hell he wasn't even sure he was in Little Whinging anymore…

This is what you get when you don't pay attention I guess…. Shit. Wonder if I should ask around… better question where should I start asking around? Looking around there were a few people here and there, a few stores and… was that an old run down pub? Like hell anyone would go to a dusty place like that for drinks.

Hell the Devil's Nest was nicer than that place and it was a little bit of a shit hole to begin with! Wait… Maybe I could reopen the old place sometime… Gonna file that idea away for later. Right now I got to find a way home, Greed thought before swallowing up some of his pride and went up to a few people to question where he was… and if they knew how to get to Privet Drive. Unfortunately for him, most people turned out to be assholes and the few nice ones turned out to not really know how to find it.

"This is going to be a long day…"

….

Pride took a seat on the sofa and took the time to examine the entire Living Room. The TV was right up against the wall with two book shelves framing it on either side, the left one had less books than the right and held some pictures that the family took during their travels but none had any images of the siblings in it. Next to one of the shelves was the fireplace that Envy blocked off immediately when they had laid eyes on it. Pride couldn't understand why the palm haired sin had insisted on blocking every fireplace they had in every home, but then again he wasn't going to question it. If someone has a weird quirk it wasn't his place to tell them how to live… at least not anymore.

Looking to the right of the Sofa was a comfy looking, off-white, lounge chair that Lust had found while shopping one day and insisted they get. Looking at the chair Pride remembered that during the week they had first got it that he had found his sister curled up in the chair and sleeping peacefully. It was strange for him to see her that relaxed but ignored it and since then he would sometimes, especially nights when there were storms, find her curled up in the chair and seem more relaxed than ever.

Between the chair and the couch was a small side table, and in between the couch and TV set was a larger coffee table that sat on a simple blue rug. There was hardly anything else in the living room itself, but there was the Dining room not to far away. The table was set up and there were six chairs set up around it. A red table cloth was draped over the table and a few more pictures were hung up on the walls, once again none of the pictures had any images of the family who owned them.

Perhaps we should get some potted plants to tie everything together, Pride thought, seeing as there were a lot of open spaces that couldn't be covered and felt a little more empty than it really was. Putting one of his hands into a pocket, the "child" pulled out a small locket and opened it up to show a picture of an older woman with long light brown hair, blueish grey eyes, a pair of blue earrings and a motherly smile hugging a younger looking Pride.

"What would you have done?" Pride asked, a glossed over look in his eyes as he started at the picture and seemed to hold a few memories flashing before them. It ended as soon as he closed those violet orbs with a sigh then closed the locket as well.

No use dwelling on the past. Better go see how everything else is coming along. With those thoughts in mind, Pride was about to make his way upstairs to his siblings when a knock was heard at the door. Figuring it was one of their new neighbors wanting to give them a warm welcome, Pride sighed and made his way over to the door. As the "child" opened the door he almost regretted it from the moment he looked at the people on the other side.

If he didn't know any better he would have said they were chimera's, the woman reminding him strongly of a horse, the man a walrus and the infant who was maybe no more than a year old looked kind of like a Pig, their scents didn't help them either. All in all, it took a lot of willpower for Pride to not flat out ask them how they can exist in this world and instead opted to hold up a confused child look. After all from the looks on their faces it was clear these… possible chimera's were holding smiles as false as his own, though his was a lot harder to detect as fake from years upon years of practice.

"Hello?" Pride asked, pulling up an innocent child facade but internally wishing that these people will leave.

"Young man are your parent's home?" the walrus asked, putting a little too much "nice" into his words that it nearly made the "youngest" feel sick to his stomach.

"No, but Big Sister and Brother are upstairs. I can get them for you if you want," Pride offered, taking a bit of a liking to how the older maybe chimera's shared a confused look between each other. However internally he was hoping that these things would leave and soon. Though apparently not soon enough as the Horse-woman pulled up her false smile again.

"We'd love to meet them."

Maybe Envy's attitude will drive them away… Pride pondered before turning towards the stairway.

"Solaris! Will! We have neighbors!" He shouted. Soon after he could hear the faint sound of Lust's heels clicking and making their way to the stairs as well as Envy's foot steps. When the two "older" siblings finally made it to the first floor Pride had to restrain a smirk at seeing Envy's sudden look of confusion before it turned into one of disgust.

"I thought we moved to a neighborhood, not a zoo," Envy spoke with disgust evident in their voice and a sneer practically plastered on his face. The looks on the neighbor's faces nearly made Pride want to burst out laughing with how positively livid they looked.

"Now, now Will. Father wouldn't have wanted you to teach Selim improper manners in greeting guests now… would he?" Lust asked, a faint smirk gracing her lips as a gesture that she actually agreed with Envy's observation but had to keep polite and try to be civil. Envy scoffed but said nothing as the only female strode over to the couple.

"Forgive my brother, after our Father died he's been acting like this. I'm Solaris, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," she smiled but didn't extend her hand… though that didn't seem to phase the Walrus man who grinned and held out his own.

"Vernon Dursley, this is my wife Petunia and our son Dudley. We live on Number 4."

"Put your hand down…" Lust growled but bit her tongue from finishing what she had wanted to say at the end, being "You disgusting worthless human." Taking the shocked expressions of the family, Lust quickly composed herself. "Forgive me, I just… don't like touching people."

Needless to say, that was how they met the Dursleys…. And that was also the very same day the three sins agreed if they ever got around to killing humans again…. They would start with them.

….

The street lights were on and the sky was dark by the time Greed made it back to Privet Drive. Needless to say the asian was not happy at all with the time it took to get back. He passed by a darker looking corner and paused when he noticed a kinda old looking tabby cat staring right up at him and not attempting to hiss at him or run away, though he did notice some of the cat's fur rose up a bit. Blinking in confusion at this, Greed shook it off before making his way back to his home… Instead of entering the house however, Greed hid around the corner of said house the moment he saw the street lights going out and having some light vanish into a man's hands…. More specifically that looked to be a lighter from his position.

Definitely a Wizard Trick… Peeking around the corner and having to squint just a little in order to see an elderly wizard walking through the street along with the cat he saw earlier. Straining his ears a bit he could make out a few words that the old man had said before the cat turned into the form of an elderly woman in an obvious witch's outfit.

Note to self, Tell Envy the Wizards stole his trick and watch as he flips his shit, Greed snickered quietly to himself before turning his attention back to the elderly duo, he was successful in picking up a few bits and pieces of conversation between the two elderly magic users, one of which seemed to involve him and something about it being dangerous for someone to live here with "Muddles" or something along with the likes of him and his family. Greed tried to piece together the conversation as best he could in his mind… only to have it snatched away by the sound of an engine going and seeing the light of a motor bike descending from the night sky. Despite the fact it wasn't at all discrete and seemed like a completely stupid thing for a wizard… or anyone who wants to remain under the radar to have, Greed only thought one thing while looking at the bike as it landed.

I want that bike.

The inhuman teen continued to watch from his position, picking up some of the words being said by the trio of wizards, before watching as they placed a small bundle on the stoop to House Number 4. The trio of wizards… the one who arrived on the bike being the youngest looking of them as well as the tallest…. And possibly the hairiest if the old man didn't have his own beard and long hair combo going on. The moment the three wizards left, Greed stepped out and snuck over to the bundle that was set down upon the stoop. What he saw in the bundle left him questioning Wizard's sanity.

"Who the hell dumps a baby on someone's doorstep with a note in this day and age?"

….

Lust couldn't sleep. Sure they don't really need sleep anyways, as it was more of a luxury to her and her family, but it helped pass the time and it was actually rather nice. So long as there were no nightmares to accompany wasn't a storm going on to remind her of how she had… come to this universe with the dreadful booming sound, but the memories plagued the woman all the same.

In them she was always in a white walled room, a solid stone door with intricate carvings in front of her. Right in front of that was a large suit of armor and a blond haired woman. Behind her was an open door way and a man in a blue uniform, one hand clutching his side that had a large burned wound, the other holding tight onto a lighter and had an alchemical circle painted on it in his own blood. His cold black eyes staring straight at her with a dead serious look plastered on his face as he clicked the lighter open and the resounding boom came about. The feel of her skin burning off right down to her bones caused her to scream out in pain despite her throat being destroyed as well. Her skin and muscles would attempt to repair themselves only for the man, no not just any man, for Mustang to repeat what he had done earlier, putting her into a cycle of pain and torture.

She would always wake up with a start as the final click would sound. Lust would always find herself breathing heavily and feel as though whatever room she was sleeping in was trying to suffocate her… it never helped that almost all the rooms had those haunting white walls. The moment her eyes would open up her hand would rest on her chest, covering a bit of her "tattoo" of a winged serpent eating it's own tail with a pentagram in the middle of the circle.

It's the same as this night, and soon after the usual, she kicked her legs out from underneath her covers and left the room, brushing her fingers through her long hair as a way to calm herself down from the nightmare. She did eventually calm down and went to the lounge chair in the Living Room. Sure most normal families have a recliner chair but then again, they aren't a normal family now are they?

The moment she sat down on the chair, the front door opened up to reveal Greed… carrying in a wrapped up bundle.

"Well, look who finally decided to return," Lust smirked. "Here I thought you were going to run off and oppose us again."

"What's there to oppose anyways?" Greed asked as he adjusted his hold onto the bundle with a slightly uncomfortable look on his face.

"What's in the bundle Greed?" Lust asked, before noticing her younger brother's uncomfortable expression deepened to the point she could practically see him sweating on the spot. Lust's expression turned stern at the hesitation her brother had. "Greed what's in the bundle?"

"It's…. A human child…."

Silence followed after Greed had spoke, the younger sibling looking uncomfortable still and the older standing up and walking over to get a better look at the child, with a blank look on her pretty pale face. Inside the bundle was a sleeping child with hair as black as night, pale skin, a peaceful expression and a lightning bolt shaped scar on it's forehead.

"Greed…" Lust started in a dangerous tone… dangerous enough for some visible parts of his skin to take up a dark grey hue to it.

"Yeah?"

"Put the child back where you found it."

"Look it's just for tonight. Some backwater idiots did the old gimmick of leaving a child on the doorstep of some unsuspecting house with a note."

"In November?"

"Yeah… they didn't even try knocking or anything," Greed kept the discoloration of his skin up, even though Lust no longer had the dangerous tone she was using.

"Fine. One night then you return the child where it was originally dropped off… What house was it and where?"

"Eh…. Number 4… our neighborhood."

Lust's expression turned dark almost instantly at the mention of the neighbors, which caused Greed to flinch.

"We're leaving the child in an orphanage as soon as tomorrow comes." Lust said, leaving Greed to question what was so wrong with the neighbor or neighbors at house number 4. Just as Greed was about to head upstairs only for Lust to stop him again. "You said there was a note with the child right?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Do you have it?"

"I snagged it, yeah…. You want to snoop through it?"

"Yes."

"Suit yourself." Greed shrugged and with his free hand pulled the note he folded up from his pocket and tossed it to his sibling. Soon as she got the note Greed adjusted his hold on the child before leaving for the staircase and making his way upstairs to find where his room is. While at the same time this was going on, Lust opened the note addressed to the Dursley's and began reading through it carefully.

….

The next morning came… and every member of the house woke up to the loud crying of the child that Greed picked up. Pride and Envy both woke up the most confused, Lust was more with agitation and Greed was a bit more of panic.

"WHAT'S WRONG?!" Greed questioned as he sat up quickly in his bed before picking up the once sleeping child, who continued to cry leaving the "teen" even more confused and panicked than before.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE GREED?!" Envy shouted as they practically kicked the door open, with Pride and Lust coming in close behind. Pride had a dumbstruck look at the sight of the "older" brother attempting to get a human child of all things to stop crying, Lust was a lot calmer but seemed to be very annoyed from the vocal human and Envy… was mostly just pissed off at the moment.

"HOW DO YOU GET HUMAN CHILDREN TO STOP CRYING?!"

"HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?!"

"Why is there a human child here in the first place?" Pride asked, looking to Lust for answers as the two "teens" tried to see if they could get the child to quiet down.

"Greed picked him up when he got home… apparently some Wizards dropped him off on the doorstep of the Dursley's in the middle of the night and Greed wanted to make sure he stayed warm I suppose," Lust answered, ignoring how Envy almost held said child upside down in order to see how to get him to stop crying… thankfully Greed stopped him saying something about how humans are fragile at a younger age.

"Alright… who even is the child anyways?"

"The note left with him said he's called, Harry Potter… and he's the Dursley's nephew."

"The Dursley's?" Pride asked with disgust. While those two were still talking, Envy and Greed were trying to get Harry to stop crying… it wasn't working.

"HOW DO YOU TURN THESE THINGS OFF?!" Envy exclaimed only for some of the crying to get louder and for the androgynous sin to whince.

"MAYBE IF YOU STOPPED YELLING!" Greed suggested getting more annoyed himself as he snatched Harry from Envy's arms and attempted to calm the one year old. Growing annoyed themselves at the loud child, Lust and Pride wrapped up their discussion to go in and try to help their fellow sins.

"Give him here," Lust sighed and the minute Harry was placed into her arms, he calmed down enough to stop his wailing and opened his eyes to reveal a pair of emerald colored eyes. Her siblings could only stare in shock at the now calmed down human who seemed to snuggle a little closer to Lust. "That was easy…"

How?! The three thought to themselves, not at all understanding how she could get Harry to shut up finally.

….

After the… awful wakeup call and everyone seemed to relax just a bit, especially the human child who seemed to start playing with Lust's hair after a while before she got annoyed and handed him off to Envy… who proceeded to have the same thing done with their own hair, though it seemed Harry liked the more palm-tree style then Lust's wavy hair.

"Alright when are we getting rid of this brat?" Envy asked as young Harry laughed while pulling at a lock of his hair.

"It might be more difficult than that Envy…" Lust sighed and held up the letter that Greed had given her. "The child was to be taken in by his Aunt for protection against some 'Dark' Wizard called Voldemort. He was supposed to be accepted for a magical protection charm called 'Blood Wards' to activate… and I personally refuse to send anything to live with those Chimera's."

"THAT'S where those things live?" Greed questioned, not knowing exactly who lived in the house just knowing that the Wizard's really didn't think things through on dropping off a baby on someone's doorstep.

"Ew, yeah no even I refuse to let a pathetic human live with scum like that," Envy responded making a face of disgust… which made the child in their arms laugh and attempt to chew on their hair.

"There's more…" Lust sighed once again.

"Let me guess just dropping him off at an orphanage will be difficult…" Pride spoke up, as he was listening carefully to everything Lust was saying to formulate a plan.

"He's apparently going to be famous among wizards and if one of them get their hands on him, he's going to be easily used and manipulated by them. Not only that but it also increases risk that this 'Voldemort' will find him or one of his followers."

"And that's a bad thing why? We've done it multiple times ourselves," Envy pointed out, while Greed scoffed at the Jealous.

"Does the concept of second chance not mean anything to you ugly?" Greed asked, making his sibling twitch in anger and a few red sparks to dance around the right side of their body. "Besides Father manipulated and used us for his own gain, which lead to you guys having to manipulate the humans. Without Dear old Pops around to order us like puppets there's no need for that and it leaves us free like birds."

"As much as I hate to admit this, but Greed's right Envy," Pride responded, his expression annoyed as he leaned back into the sofa with closed eyes. "There's also the fact that 'Truth' left us here with the only order to 'Balance the Scales' of this world. Meaning we need to act less like the 'villains' like we were back home, but it also means we don't have to act like complete 'heros' either and from what I've gathered leaving the human at an orphanage would lead more to the darker route."

"... We're going to be stuck with the brat aren't we?" Envy asked only to have a collective silent yes as their answer which made the genderless sin groan in annoyance.

This was going to be a long, long two decades.

….

The sins (Mostly Lust, Pride and Envy) were quick to come up with a cover story for the human child in their care and it's worked for them for the full two years they remained on Privet Drive Number 6. During those two years it soon became clear who the top favorites were to young Harry… especially with him calling Lust "Mama" since he turned 2… even though she keeps trying to get him to not call her that. Greed seemed to earn the title of "Papa" for reasons no one but the mentioned sin seems to understand… and Greed didn't seem to mind it either.

Despite the two "Top" positions being taken, Harry seemed to like playing with Envy (and by playing I mean annoying the crap out of Envy till they pick the kid up and Harry laughs before patting the sins face as if to say "Got ya!") he's also taken to calling Envy "Enny!" for short as it was hard for him to say v's quite yet.

Harry also learned to scramble over to Pride whenever he needed protection from Envy if Lust wasn't around… The human learned quick that Greed was, ironically, not the best shield against Envy's wrath. Though when Envy was ever truly angry with the kid was up for debate among everyone as it seemed like the palm haired sin never let the kid get to hurt… or worse. Pride was more of the trusted older brother to Harry… at least that's the closest the rest of the sins could pin the relationship Harry seemed to have with the actual oldest down to.

When Harry turned three, they moved many cities away as they thought it was still too soon to move to another country… again. Plus it would be hard to do so with their added… family member. They settled down and choose to remain in that city for another two years.

During those two years Harry started to use a bit of accidental magic every so often… one instance included accidentally turning his family's hair pink. Envy was the only one who got out of it pretty quickly and ended up laughing with the child as the other's tried to figure out how to get the color out. Another instance was when Pride took the, at the time, four year old to a park and the homunculus found the child talking to a snake… and the snake was talking back it seemed. Pride didn't know whether to chalk it up to a typical Wizard thing or just a weird Harry thing and thus decided to make his presence known to the snake… who fled the moment it sensed his presence.

The biggest incident however that had almost all of them break their calm was when Harry had somehow teleported from the backyard to the roof a few days before his fifth birthday. At first the young human thought it was another fun game and laughed at the panic that was on the faces of both Envy and Greed (as they had been watching him for the day.) Harry had playfully called down to them to come get him… only for the child to slip and suddenly scream, the image of this being a new game being shattered almost instantly and for the young boy to hang on tightly to the roof as best he could. The ground looked to be a long way down and seemed to just scream danger. The poor child's heart raced as he struggled to keep a hold of the roof… though thankfully he didn't have to worry about it for long as Greed (or was it Envy? Harry couldn't remember who exactly it was) had been able to climb the side rather quickly and grab the child, before dropping down safely to the ground.

Since then Harry's been absolutely terrified of heights and the family had to try and figure out how to get Harry to control the accidental magic so another roof incident wouldn't happen again. Not only that but they realized (more like Pride had to point it out) that Harry was approaching the age where he would be old enough to attend school… Pride also pointed out that homeschooling might not be a good idea as the human needed to interact more with his own kind as well as those in his own age group.

"We trial run his going to school in the next town before deciding to homeschool him officially or not." Was the decision they came to and followed through with.

The following year when Harry had been going to school for about two months the young wizard asked the question all of them knew would come up eventually.

"Why do you never age?" he was mostly looking at Pride with this question, but Lust was the one who answered the boy.

"Because that's something things like us can't do."

"Why not?"

"Because we were made at our own set ages… and that's how we'll always be," Pride answered this time and even though Harry wanted to know more, no one answered the boy's questions relating to why they haven't changed at all since he was only one… until it was nighttime and Greed had bedtime duty (aka tucking the kid in and making sure he went to sleep) that night…. Especially since Envy was forever banned from having bedtime duty as they had kept the kid up all night and ended up making a huge mess with said kid all around the house.

"So kid what's on tonight's list? Don't say five more minutes 'cause we know what happened last time you did that," Greed asked, only for the kid to look up at him with the widest innocent looking eyes.

"Story time?"

"Oh boy here we go… let me guess one of the 'adventure' tales again?"

"I want a story about Papa!"

Now that had Greed's full on attention. Though he will never admit it around his siblings, but Greed was a bit of a softy when it came to the kid and hearing that the kid wanted to hear a story about him… would have made his heart skip a beat in joy if he had an official heart that is. However he had to silently curse himself, after all he needed to tell a story that was PG… or else Pride would be on his ass about it later. Then something did come to mind for him…

"Alright. Let me tell ya about the time I was stuck with a pi- an Idiot prince and some of the stupid shi- stuff… we ended up doing," Harry grinned at this and snuggled into the bed a little to get comfortable as Greed began telling the kid a little bit about his time sharing a body with the 12th prince of Xing, Ling… but not without the feelings of regret and longing raising up as he told the tale.

As he went on, it was getting harder and harder for Greed to keep himself from breaking down and Harry was listening to and hanging onto every word of the story… even when it was coming closer to the end point and even if Greed wasn't telling everything that had happened… like how he fought against Pride, killed Bido or anything bloody that happened. By the time the battle with Father was coming up, Greed clammed up, causing Harry to look so confused. Then the emerald eyed child saw how Greed attempted to look away to hide a single tear rolling down his cheek.

"Papa?"

"... Go to sleep now... it's late kid…"

Harry didn't say anything for a little while before speaking up finally.

"Papa what's wrong?" Greed debated on whether to tell the kid or not… but decided he would at least tell the kid something.

"I… miss the brat. He was a good friend and I… lost him a long time ago."

"Was it 'cause you can't grow up?"

"More like I did something stupid and ended up here in this world…" Greed wasn't to concerned with the fact he let it slip to the human he wasn't from this world. After all kid's part of the family now, he's bound to learn it sometime or other… plus with the fact it was rather late and Harry is still so young Greed doubted the young human would remember it.

"What did ya do?"

"... I… I faced the bad guy alone and lost…" my life… Were the unspoken words to that sentence.

"How'd ya lose?"

"Look kid isn't it past your bedtime? You know Lust and Pride hate when you don't get your sleep."

"But Papa…"

"No but's now get to- Aw hell don't give me the puppy dog look. Seriously kid stop. I- ugh fine, fine. Geeze kid you need to stop hanging out with Envy," Greed sighed, cursing how soft he was when it came to the kid.

Greed had finished telling everything he could to the kid, even the part where Harry asked what they were if they weren't humans. They were homunculi… Greed did have to admit watching Harry struggle with the word a little was kind of fun. Eventually the kid did fall fast asleep and the homunculus had never felt more relieved in his life… well his life in this world at least.

What Greed didn't know from his story telling… was how much Harry loved the idea of being a hero with his own goals. An idea that would grow with time but change from being a straight up hero to somewhere in between.

…

When Harry was seven he began learning how to fight. His family were excellent teachers… but were a little to rough sometimes. However that's what helped him learn quick and the young boy enjoyed every minute of it.

When he was eight Lust snuck him into a shop within the magical world so he could pick up a few books and learn more about magic. Both wholeheartedly agreed that the shop and wizard town seemed to be completely back watered and should really try to get out of the dark ages.

"Someone should bitch slap some major sense into these people," Harry had said out loud in English when they left the store, and while Lust agreed she also reprimanded him for the foul language. Something that he picked up from both Envy and Greed and couldn't seem to shake.

"I'm just saying, Robes? Quills? No electricity? Who in the right mind thinks that's advanced enough to use it for centuries?! Bloody idiots that's who!"

"Most wizards are certainly lower than normal humans, but their magic is troublesome to say the least. Never underestimate them, but never think to highly of them either," Lust responded in her native tongue only for Harry to huff in annoyance and switch to the Amestrian language.

"Doesn't mean I gotta like them mom…" the boy huffed, causing Lust to sigh before noticing an Ice-Cream Parlor.

"How about some Ice-Cream before we head home?" Harry's green eyes instantly sparkled.

"Can I get three scoops?"

"Only if you can eat all that."

"HELL YEAH! I can't wait to tell En- Will that I got a full three scoops!"

Let's just say Envy was jealous, not because of the three scoops… but because Harry had all three scoops as chocolate, and Envy loves chocolate.

When Harry turned nine he managed to learn a few basic spells with wandless magic, but struggled with the more advanced parts. Though he did learn the levitation charm and some useful simple spells that would have made chores so much easier, Harry preferred to do them all by hand and by himself. He was proud of his own work and sometimes would boast about it, even when Pride himself told him to stop letting his ego show.

Nine was also the time Harry found out about brooms from the Wizard world and accidentally launched off on one. Needless to say the child had a major panic attack and forever swore off brooms or anything involving flight, much to his adopted family's relief.

A few days before Harry turned ten he discovered why Envy continued to board up any and all fireplaces for each home they had. The older sibling he looked up to had Pyrophobia to a degree that sometimes the Jealous would scratch and claw at their own skin trying to put out imaginary flames after encountering the sight a large fire. It didn't help that this came up when their current house was somehow set ablaze and Envy proceeded to have a major panic attack… it didn't help that Lust was almost equally afraid herself, but at least she was able to rationalize her way out of there with the others… while Envy didn't even seem to realize what was going on around them anymore.

It was horrifying to the child to watch as the palm haired sin, the one who always played with him and he looked up to almost as much as he looked up to Greed, become so terrified and unable to move. Even worse was that even though he wanted to run up to Envy and try to drag them out, Greed had grabbed him and dragged him out of the house for his own protection.

Harry screamed out for the sin who seemed to be lost in his own, terrified reality. Greed however didn't let go even as Harry struggled to go back for Envy.

"Harry relax," Pride said the moment the human got a safe distance from the house and Greed left the two "young ones" alone to retrieve Envy… while Lust had gone over to a neighbor's house to call for the fire department. "The only thing we should be worrying more about is how the hell the house got set on fire."

"B-but, but Envy! They're still… a-and the fire and-"

"Greed's grabbing them right now. Though why Envy was freaking out escapes me it doesn't matter all too much as that won't make them stay dead," Pride explained sitting down on the grass… and had one of his shadows holding onto Harry's leg to make sure the kid didn't go running inside or do something stupid. Something Pride was sure that the human learned from Envy.

"The fire department is on the way… let me guess Envy's still inside?" Lust asked as she hurried over, Pride's nod and Harry's continued panic caused the only female Homunculus to sigh and pull the human child into a hug. "Relax. Envy will be fine. We homunculi are hard to kill after all… Unlike us though you could very easily get killed."

Harry was about to protest when Greed finally came right back out, struggling a bit to drag Envy over to where the others were and the mentioned palm haired sin still having a panic attack.

"Little help over here?! I swear they GAINED weight!"

Eventually when they had gotten Envy to recover and the fire to be put out, with thankfully little damage done to the upstairs so all their items were easily recovered from their rooms, they found out that the fire was due to a faulty heater breaking down. Harry however was much more relieved that his family was all alright and with the confirmation that they will continue to be alright for a long, long time.

Months after the fire and after the young Wizard's tenth birthday, while at the park with Pride (who liked to go there mostly to "get away from most of the insanity at home") Harry saw probably one of the prettiest (to him at least) teenage girls he had ever seen. Looking between the girl and his older brother Harry smiled and nudged the forever young homunculus.

"Hey Pride."

"No we are not getting ice cream."

"No, no not that… though it sounds nice now. But do you think that girl over there is kinda pretty?"

The deadpanned look Pride gave Harry, made the Wizard know that this was going to be the start of a minor rant.

"Harry there are multiple things wrong with thinking a human girl like her is pretty. Reason number one; the awkward differences between ages. I'm reaching 400 years old soon and she seems to be no older than 14 at least. Pedophelia is a thing and someone my age thinking someone her age looked desireable would be plain wrong. Reason number two; I have the appearance of a ten year old… again the observable age difference will make it that much worse. Reason number- Harry get back here now!" Pride had ranted for a bit before cutting himself off when he noticed the younger had began walking over to the human girl. With so many people around he knew it was a bad idea to use his shadows to try and stop the Wizard so he had to go with the next best thing and try to physically get him to stop… only to arrive a little too late as Harry began talking to the teen.

"Heya Lady! Just wanted ta tell ya that my brother and I think you're really pretty!" Harry smiled, not seeing the embarrassed look on Pride's face but definitely seeing the girl smile and laugh a little at him.

"Thanks kid."

Before Harry could say anything else Pride clamped a hand around Harry's mouth and gave the girl a nervous smile.

"S-Sorry for my brother ma'am. He doesn't know when to stop talking sometimes," Pride laughed nervously in his 'I'm-an-angle-of-a-child-and-can-do-no-wrong' act before saying a quick goodbye and dragging Harry away from the girl.

Needless to say… that was just part ONE of the many things Harry would say to embarrass his older brother figure… not to mention it was made worse when Harry went up to Envy and told them about it.

"Oooh~ So you tried to get Pride a girlfriend huh?"

"Yeah, but he chickened out the moment I started." Envy and Harry couldn't help but laugh a bit before the two started to come up with a few more ideas on how to get Pride to stop being such a hard ass.

"Do you find something funny over there?" the two froze instantly at Pride's echoed voice and even sweated nervously a bit from seeing some of his shadows coming up and the glare he set with his violet colored eyes.

"N-Nope! Not at all! Ain't that right you little ankle bitter?"

"Y-Yeah, just uh… n-nothing important!"

Even though the two were in fear of invoking the wrath of the first homunculus… they both started to secretly set up plans to mess with the shadow using homunculus.

A month before his eleventh birthday on a rather nice, sunny day, Harry had been surprised to see an owl sitting outside the window to his family's current home. He wasn't all to surprised by the letter it had, or the fact it seemed that said letter was on very nice parchment, rather he was surprised that any animal had the guts to come this close to his family's home without either fleeing or attempting to attack the inhuman occupants if it was brave enough.

The young wizard opened the window and grabbed the letter from the owl, who, now that Harry really thought about it, did seem to be rather uncomfortable being so close to the house. Not really caring too much about the bird Harry opened up the letter and began reading it, after being mildly disturbed at the letter's address being spot on with where he lived to his exact room.

Geeze talk about stalkers… Let's see what we've got here. Harry thought to himself as he read the letter. One line he had to stop at and do a double take on was the name of this apparent school that he had been accepted to.

"Hey Mom?" the nearly eleven year old called out through his opened door. By the time Lust poked her head out of her own room Harry finally let loose the question raking at his brain.

"Who the hell names their school 'Hogwarts' and expects it to be taken seriously?"

I kept as much vague as possible on purpose; after all where's the fun in giving out the whole story? It's more fun to leave it up to the imagination to fill in the gaps.
