Roy's POV
I sat there glaring at the two older men waiting for their answer. Sirius was the first to speak. He asked," You remember us Harry?" I snarled angrily," My name is not Harry Potter. I haven't been a Potter for EIGHT YEARS!"
Remus said trying to defuse the situation," Easy Roy we just want to talk. What do you mean you haven't been a Potter? James said you ran away." I said throwing my hands up in the air," Of course he did. He wanted any excuse not to tell Lily," the name was said with such contempt and anger that both men flinched back. I continued ignoring the flinch," That he disowned me."
Sirius said trying to reason with me," Harry, James would never disown one of his children..." I yelled," Of course he would! He thought that I was a squib! All he cared about was his precious boy who lived! Lily wasn't any better. Did you know that James used to beat me?! If he hadnt disowned me and left me in London I would not have made it to my 11th birthday!"
Looking between the shocked men I said getting to my feet," I'm going to get something to drink. Think about what I said. If you don't believe me ask yourselves. On Alex's birthday which is mine as well did I ever get any presents? Was my name ever on the cake? Hell did anyone including yourselves ever tell me happy birthday once Alex was named the savior?" With that being said I left the room heading for the dinning compartment.
Halfway to the dinning compartment I was passing by one of the military compartments when it opened. I stepped back out of the way. The person who came out I recognized immediately. Major Armstrong looked me over approvingly noting the alchemist's watch and the glove on my right hand. The only time I took off my ignition cloth gloves was to go to bed. Any other time I was always wearing them. The man said," Young Mustang it's good to see you. I had heard that you were in Eastern Command. Why are are you heading to Western?"
I said titling my head towards the dinning compartment," I'm starving so let's talk about this over lunch." Once we had ordered food and drink Armstrong sat back and asked," So young major what brings you to Western Command?"
I said looking at him with a mixture of anger and hurt," Furher Bradley is sending me to England. I'm to bodyguard my twin brother until he calls us Alchemists to war." The surprise was all over his face as he asked," You have a brother?"
I growled," One I hate. In England he is famous. That is not the reason why I hate him though. He is a pompous ass who thinks only about himself. It's all because he supposedly beat the greatest dark lord of this century. Last I checked he couldn't even say the guys name. It's always he must not be named or you know who." The older alchemist let me rant and when he was sure I was done he said," I understand. I have an older sister who my family adores because she is so talented. Sometimes we have to do what we don't like in order to do what is right. As long as you follow your morals young alchemist you can't go wrong."
I was stunned the man didn't seem like he would be one to give you a good life lesson but he did have some wisdom. After that we rode in silence and when I had finished eating I went back to the compartment with Sirius and Remus. They tried and failed to make conversation with me I wasn't in the mood. I was pretty sure once they had heard James Potter's side they would shun me as well.
Once we reached Western Command Sirius and Remus looked at the train schedule again. I whistled to grab their attention and said," Just because we don't have many wizards doesn't mean we don't have the floo system. We have a floo connected to the IFN here in Western Command. It requires a Major's or higher authorization." Before they could respond I spun on my heel stalking off to the command post. I could hear them hurrying to catch up with me. Maybe I was being a tad unfair but I couldn't bring myself to trust them. Not after everything I had been through trying to forget my past and leave it behind me.
The desk sergeant saluted me and said," Major Mustang the Furher called ahead authorizing you and two others to floo out of country and your return trip at an unspecified date. Stay safe Major." I returned the salute before grabbing the two men by the upper arms and dragging them to the floo station. I said waving my hand over to the fireplace," You two go and floo wherever I'll follow afterwards."
Sirius stared for a moment then grabbed a pinch of powder and said," Hogwarts, Headmaster's office." Remus was next after giving me a one last long look. I waited for a moment and with a last look over my shoulder I grabbed a handful of floo powder. I said throwing it into the fireplace," Hogwarts, Headmaster's office." I stepped through and the world spun like I was going to be sick.
I stepped through into a library like office. An old man was standing behind the desk where there were several others. Remus and Sirius stood off to the left giving me an encouraging smile. On the right side of the desk there were the three people I had hoped to never see again. The Potter family, James was the closest to me he hadn't changed much in the last eight years. He still had an arrogant air about him. Lily was next to him she looked exhausted with dark bags under her eyes. It was obvious that Pettigrew's escape was taking its toll. Alex stood closest to the desk. He was almost a carbon copy of James. His hair was black as midnight with hazel eyes.
I said moving away from the fireplace," You must be the Potters. I'm Major Mustang of the State Alchemist." I held out my hand and Alex said turning his nose up to me," Your army must not be very good if they make a kid a major. What is your leader 16?" I sighed and said," Furher Bradley is in his mid forties if you must know. Normally the state army does not accept soldiers under the age of 17. The only exception is the State Alchemists. They are a group of Alchemist who have shown a unique skill set. They are tested by the Furher himself. I earned my silver pocket watch by fighting against a state alchemist who had been one for nearly a decade. We are automatically promoted to the rank of major when we receive our watches. If you don't like it take it up with the Furher."
James said angrily," You can't talk to my son like that. Who do you think you are?!" I yawned and said," I'm the youngest person to ever become a State Alchemist. If you don't like the choice the Furher made send me back. I didn't want to come in the first place. But orders are orders."
James was about to say something else when Dumbledore interrupted him," We are happy to have you major. Pardon our rudeness. What alchemy did you specialize in?" I said with a ghost of a smile," Battle alchemy. I'm known as the Flame Alchemist over in Eastern Command."
Dumbledore seemed to be scrutinizing me looking for something. I didn't know what he was looking for but after a few moments he finally said," You quarters will be on the third floor west side. The password is dragon's nest. We will let you get settled in before we talk about duties." I snapped a salute before heading off to my rooms.
