Sorry for the late chapter guys! I promise the next chapter will come sooner!

Harry's gaze shifted between McGonagall and Dumbledore anxiously, trying to process everything the two had just told him.

"So.." He began, looking towards Ed for reassurance, "My birth parents went to this school before? And you want me to go so that I can… learn how to become a wizard?" This last bit was said with more than a bit of disbelief.

"Yes," McGonagall said, "You would be learning magic at Hogwarts, but we also aim to teach life skills and everything necessary for students to properly function in wizarding society." Harry nodded slowly, turning the information over in his head.

"What about vacation? Does he get to come home or does he have to stay for an entire year?" Ed asked, "And what if there's an emergency? Will the school contact us? What about transport? It takes a week of travel by train to get past Drachma and then at least another week by train and then boat to get to England. There's no way for us to get there in an emergency, and two weeks of travel between us and our son just isn't practical."

McGonagall's face twisted slightly at the rapid-fire questions, doing her best to answer them patiently.

"Students are given four weeks of vacation outside of the summer holiday, two at Christmas and two at Easter," Harry looked confused at the mention of the unfamiliar holidays before Ed leaned in, quickly explaining to him that they were holidays not celebrated in Amestris. McGonagall continued, "If a situation deemed to be a serious emergency were to occur, a member of staff would either apparate or use the Floo network to immediately contact you in person. All other information will be sent through owl."

"As for the time it takes to travel between England and Amestris, I would be happy to arrange a multiple-use portkey to ensure that the travel time would be near-instantaneous," Dumbledore interjected.

Much to Ed's surprise, it looked almost like Harry was considering going to this magic school.

"Dad… I think I might wanna go to Hogwarts."

Much to Ed's surprise, Roy was completely unsurprised at Harry's decision.
"He's curious and wants to connect with his parents. It's only natural. Plus there will be other children his age there and it's good for him to make friends." He explained to Ed that night, once Harry was already in bed, the both of them curled up on the couch together in front of the fire. Ed had been reading a book, his head on Roy's lap as the older man played with his hair.

"But why England?" Ed whined, "And why wizards? Is the world's most talented alchemist not good enough for him?" He said dramatically, causing Roy to laugh. "Aw honey, I'm glad you recognize my superiority," He drawled, Ed promptly flipping him off in response (which only made him laugh more).

"It's not like he's leaving forever, it's just a school. And with Hedwig, he can send letters every week," Roy reasoned, his calm air placating Ed. "Plus, we'll get to go see wizarding Britain with him when he goes to get his school supplies."

This caught Ed's attention. His wanderlust had only barely dimmed over the years, but being married to the Fuehrer of Amestris gave him plenty of opportunities to travel. He narrowed his eyes at Roy. "What's the catch? You can't bribe me into going on any more diplomatic missions for you."

Roy winced as he remembered the disaster that had come from him sending Ed on a diplomatic mission to Creta. The press had had a field day and he had rediscovered a healthy fear of his second-in-command.

"It's not a bribe," He laughed, running his fingers through Ed's long hair, "It's been a while since you've gone on a trip and I know you're curious. It's rare I've been somewhere that you haven't, and having someone with him that he knows and loves will help him get used to an unfamiliar environment. Maybe I can take a few days off and come with you."
Ed snorted, propping himself up on one arm so that he could give Roy a quick kiss, "I'm sure Hawkeye would love that. At this point why don't you just resign and let her be Fuehrer instead?"

"Yes, I'm sure that would work out fantastically, but for now, the title belongs to me, and it'd be wise of you to respect that." He winked at Ed, the tone not lost on him as he pulled him in for a longer kiss.
