Night Three: The Famous Elric Brothers

"Edward... Alphonse, theres mail here for you!" A young darker skinned girl said as she walked back into the small house in which she lived in along with the two brothers. Two brothers who happened to be from a whole other world, dimension, whatever you wanted to call it really, mind you.

The Elric brothers had been through quite a lot in their life time. First back in the world they had come from their father left them when Alphonse Elric was just a baby. Then when the elder Elric was ten their mother had died from a sickness that she had been hiding from them for years. She had been silently enduring through it before she had died.

Then already being interested in alchemy the two brothers had found a mentor who taught them alchemy. They attempted transmutation to revive their mother and had failed. The younger had lost his whole body while the older his left leg. Then in an attempt to save his younger brother he had sacrificed his right arm in order to bind his younger brother's soul to a suit of armor nearby in the room.

The elder got and auto mail leg and arm soon later. Then he became a state alchemist in order to find something called the Philosopher's stone in order to bring back his brother's body and his arm and leg.

They fought inhuman beings called Homunculi and destroyed all of them as well as helping set the demise of the one pulling the strings, Dante a woman who lived four hundred years by attaching her soul to different bodies with the philosopher's stone.

During the struggle, Alphonse having been transmuted into the philosopher's stone himself brought his brother back from the dead after he died in a fight with the Homunculus Envy.

Alphonse had killed himself doing that and Edward brought him back once more though instead of dying he was sent to the world beyond the gate. The world in which we live in.

They deal with a crazy woman who had sought to get into Edwards world first for the power in which she thought it held. But then to destroy it after beginning to think anyone who lived there was a monster.

Much had happened and they had both had sealed the gate from our world while Roy Mustang had sealed it from their world. Since then they had been living in the house of the recently deceased Alphonse Hendrick along with Noah.

She was a girl who looked exactly like the Rose from their world. Though she didn't have pink bangs. She was a gypsy and used to be despised because of this. Though around them she was perfectly accepted. She had helped that woman, Dietlinde Eckhart, the head of some society wanting to go to Edward and Alphonse world after seeing what Ed had dreamed of. Though they had both forgiven her.

Edward ran down the stairs of the small house and grabbed the letter. Alphonse was behind him panting a bit still quite a bit slower than his brother. "What does it say brother?" He asked curiously as Edward tore open the envelope.

Edward scanned the letter before slowly reading over it. Noah had gone and started doing more house work but Alphonse still was beside him staring at him quizzically. "Edward?" He said concern lining his voice.

Edward handed over the letter and Alphonse began reading it.

'Dear Edward and Alphonse Elric,

Your father Hohenheim has told me a great deal about you both. About your studies in Alchemy as well as quite a few other things. I would very much appreciate it if you would come a teach Alchemy at my school, Hogwarts, Alchemy does work here... unlike where you are now. Its a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry and since you are his children I do expect you to go to classes if you do accept this offer. If you do everything will be provide. Transportation and school supplies as well.

Oh and one more thing... Edward... Alphonse, though you may have sealed the gate, there is always a way to get around it.

Headmaster

Albus Dumbledore'

"B-Brother? Are we going to go?" Alphonse asked curiously. He really did wonder if his brother wanted to go back to their world. Alphonse found out that Edward seemed rather happy as of late. Of course Alphonse still wanted to find a way to get Edward's two limbs back to him but... well that was impossible in a world without Alchemy... but the letter had said that Alchemy could be used at the school. Which made him rather curious.

"What do you think Al? Should we go?" Edward asked knowing fully well what his brother would say. "Yes of course! If alchemy really does exist there maybe we can finally get your body back to normal!" Alphonse said nodding energetically. Edward smiled at his younger brother and nodded. "Well then we'd better tell Noah... and get packed at least a bit." He said sighing. He picked up the envelope and a few different train tickets fell from it.

"It seems were going to London." Edward said with a sigh as he went to pack a suit case that would be just mainly for clothing. Plus a suit case for Alphonse as well.

Three days later and they were on the last train on the way to London. They would arrive soon and have to find their way to some place called the Leaky Cauldron. Then after buying a few things with money which had been sent to them via Owl, they would have to get to Kings Cross Station's Platform nine and three-quarters.

It seemed to be rather trouble some to both boys but they truly wanted to see if they could actually use their Alchemy in this place. Oh how they really missed it.

Author's Note: Well thats it for today... it seems that I was in the mood to write and get something else up tonight. Wait! Its one in the morning... I'll work on the next chapter after school today. It will be with Edward and Alphonse again. Hopefully much longer than this. It makes me feel guilty when I right short chapters like this.

Okay notes on this. Once more I'll say it: This fic takes place in the late Nineteenth Century. Meaning the 1800s. So I have to move the time period this series is in behind around twenty years or so. Alphonse was born in 1900 so its not really that bad. Meaning the Thule Society didn't really exist nor Hitler yet and such. But I can make do, I do hope you can to!

Oh and for the sake of the story, Edward is fifteen and Alphonse is thirteen. Its a fanfic so you can deal with that right? Well if not... then don't read it. xD

Ja ne!

-- Note: Next update most likely this afternoon if I can get into the writing spirit!
