Disclaimer: Still don't own anything but Skylar.
Ed, Al, and I were in out own compartment, not wanting to deal with Harry and his friends at the moment. Ed was asleep with Al's female cat, the black one, Eir sleeping on his lap. Al was playing with Loki while I was petting Anke and reading a a book. The train ride was peaceful and away from all the kids from Grimmauld place. Suddenly our compartment door opened and there stood three guys. Two chubby looking ones behind the third, skinnier one. The skinnier one had platinum blond hair and gray eyes. Just great and here I thought we wouldn't have to deal with this kind of crap until we got to the school. I guess I was wrong.
"Is there some thing you needed?" Al asked, always being the nice guy.
"I had heard we would be having transfer students and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Prefect. This is Crabbe and Goyle," Draco said point to the two large boys behind him.
"Skylar," was all I said then returned to reading my book. I still had to finish fifth year books though I only had a few left, and I wanted to get them finished.
"Alphonse Elric. I'm going to be a fourth year. The sleeping one is our older brother Edward. Him and Skylar are going to both be in sixth year," Al explained.
"If he's older than why is he in the same year as him?" he said pointing to me. Everyone always mistakes me for a boy, but I don't blame them since the way I dress doesn't help with that. I blame my lack of giant boobs for this mistake. I don't care if people make the mistake, I just let them think so until they really need to know. It can also be quite fun when it's revealed to a person that I really am a girl. I love seeing their shocked faces. This guy here just basically insinuated that my brother was stupid. I looked up again giving him an 'are you stupid' look.
"They're fraternal twins. Ed's the older one though," Al quickly explained.
"But he looks so small," Draco said and Ed's eyes snapped open at the word small. He instantly was up, making Eir fall to the floor, and punched Draco in the face with his automail hand. I heard the crunch of the boy's nose breaking. Well he was the one who said the word small. Ed just acts on reflex most of the time. Draco grabbed his face and I could see blood seeping from between his hands. I closed my book and grabbed Ed before he could do anymore damage to Draco. The boy looked like he might cry.
"Sorry, Brother has a bit of a temper," Al apologized.
"Just wait until my father hears about this," he threatened and he left with his friends following. After they left Ed relaxed in my grip and I let him go.
"Ed you shouldn't act so rashly. He was a Prefect. You can't go punching everyone who calls you small," Al reprimanded him.
"But I'm not small!" Ed retorted.
"The way you were sleeping made you look smaller than you really were," I said and this made him huff before settling back into his seat. Ed wasn't as short as he had been when we were younger but he was still short for a guy in this world. We then decided to get ready as we were quickly approaching Hogwarts.
The animals pulling the carriages were a sight. They were beautiful, and weird looking, but most couldn't see them from what I could tell. Alphonse had to pull Ed and I into the carriage so we could make our way to the castle. We arrived at the castle and Professor McGonagall pulled us aside and placed us behind the first years. Once Sorting started it was weird seeing the hat call out different Houses after being placed on a students head. Finally we were the final three left to be sorted.
"This year we shall have three transfer students. Two into sixth year and one into fourth. Please make them feel welcome and let's have them sorted," Dumbledore explained to the students who all looked at us with curiosity.
"Elric, Alphonse."
Al slowly walked up to the chair and sat down. A few minutes after the hat was placed onto his head it placed Al.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Al went and joined the table with the yellow and black banner over it and many clapping kids.
"Elric, Edward."
Ed strode up to the chair and the hat was place on his head. He seemed to argue with the hat before it finally placed him.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Gryffindor table erupted in cheers as Ed went to join the gold and red table. I then realized we were all going to be put into different houses. Though we may be similar to most people we are actually fairly different from one another.
"Elric, Skylar."
I walked up to the chair and the hat was placed onto my head. It then started speaking in mind surprising me at first.
"Tragic past just like your brothers. You don't care about what other think about you and you love your brothers." Holy shit some one attached a soul to this hat. This must have been what Ed had been arguing with the hat about.
"Thank you captain obvious."
"Sarcastic and witty, but not much of a people person though you hide it well.. You could fit in many of the houses but where to put you... Ah I see now there's resourcefulness and cunning in you as well. I know where to put you,"
"SLYTHERIN!"
I stood, taking off the hat and walked over the clapping table of green and silver. I just grabbed a seat not caring where I sat and ended up across from Draco and his friends. After listening to this toad like woman in pink talk about how the Ministry was interfering at Hogwarts we finally got to eat. The food appeared out of no where shocking me at first but I quickly decided that food was food and started eating. I was then bombarded with questions on things like blood purity, and why did I transfer here now. I just ignored them and continued eating. After realizing I wasn't going to talk they stopped asking questions.
After-wards we went to the dorms and found out mine were in the dungeons, and it was fricken cold down there. My leg wasn't going to be very happy once winter set in and I knew it. I was going to need to find a solution to that soon to prevent getting frost bite. Once inside I found a chair near the fire and sat near it to warm up. While sitting there Draco approached me.
"If you're here about vat Ed did, Al already reprimanded him about it and if you're here to ask the same damn questions they did during dinner, I vill punch you," I said and he flinched a little.
"Nah, though I have to say you're accent is quite interesting. And besides you gotta be a pure blood to get into this house," Draco smirked. This boy sure did a lot of assuming.
"Ah," I said rolling my eyes, waiting to see if he would speak more.
"You don't talk much do you?" he asked.
"Only ven I see a need to or I am being directly addressed like I am now," I said just about ready for bed. "I'm heading to bed now since classes are early." I got up and he followed me. When I stopped to go into the girls dorms he turned to me confused.
"Come on our dorms are this way," he said pointing towards the boys dorms.
"Contrary to popular belief and how I look and dress, I am a girl, so good night Malfoy," I said with a smirk and almost started laughing at the shocked look on his face.
The next morning came early for me. Oh the woe that is morning. I woke to find my robes changed to now accent my house colors, green and silver. I also found a matching scarf along with a beanie to match my house colors. I also noticed that there were skirts there. I promptly ignored them, deciding to find some place later to combined them into another pair of pants. I grabbed some pants from my trunk and then realized that there were others awake in the room now making it so I couldn't change. I decided that my curtains on my bed would be great cover. I jumped on the bed and pulled them to block me from view and changed quickly. After having at least my socks and pants on I stepped out and finished getting ready. I then headed down to the common room but I noticed the looks my dorm mates gave me for how I dressed that morning and knew I would need to find a solution soon. I was just heading to the exit of the common room when Draco ran up to me.
"Why didn't you say were a girl?" he immediately asked. I sighed continuing to walk out of the common room.
"I honestly don't care how people view me veather as a man or a voman. Most just assume I'm a boy and I let them think that unless they figure it out or Al calls me sister," I said answering his question.
"Oh. Well wanna head to breakfast?" he asked.
"Already heading there," I said rolling my eyes at his question. As we walked I could tell he wanted to ask me something.
"Is there some thing you vanted to ask me Malfoy?"
"Yeah I was actually wondering about your eyes..." he trailed off. This made me think about what Hermione had said before about the color.
"My brothers and I are not verevolves. It's genetic from out father actually," I said smirking as I see him visibly relax. "Vat is so bad about verevolves any vay?"
"They're filthy half breeds!" Draco sneered. I then smacked him up side the head and he yelped a little, grabbing the back of his head. "What was that for?"
"For being damn ignorant. They are still people you know, voo have lives and feelings. Don't discriminate people just because there is something different about them. You never know voo has some thing they don't vant the vorld to know! So don't assume any zing about a person based just on one zing!" I yelled at him and stalked off. I made my way to the great hall easily and when I entered I went over to where I saw Ed sitting with Harry and his friends at the Gryffindor table..
"What's got your nickers in a twist?" Harry asked.
"Some people are just ignorant," was all I said as I dug into eat.
"Voo pissed you off?" Ed asked.
"I already chewed him out and gave him some thing to think about. I don't need you beating up the poor guy over some zing so small," I told him. Ed's eye twitched at the word but no outburst came thankfully.
"Just let me know if you need some help knocking sense into the guy," Ed said and I started laughing since Ed kinda already did that. "Vat's so funny?"
"You actually did that on the train Ed," I said and he was kinda like what do you mean. "Remember the guy you decked on the train?" and he nodded his head. "That's voo I'm talking about." just then said person entered the hall. "Him Ed."
"You mean Ed decked Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"He called me small..." Ed grumbled.
"Ed you shouldn't be hitting..." Hermione started before Ed cut in.
"Al already yelled at me. I don't need it from you as vell." Just then Professor McGonagall approached us. She handed the Gryffindors their classes and I was confused why she couldn't give me mine as well. Seeing my confusion she quickly understood.
"You'll receive yours from Professor Snape Mr. Elric," she said. Wow even this teacher didn't know I wasn't a boy. I then look for Snape and see him look over at us upon hearing his name said. He sees me and his eyes narrow at me. He then came over to us.
"Elric why aren't you at the Slytherin table with your house mates?" he demanded to know.
"I vanted to sit vith my brother. Is that not allowed Professor?" I asked looking up at him.
"It is allowed. Here's your classes," he said handing me my schedule and left to continue handing out the Slytherin schedules. Professor McGonagall had already left to hand out more schedules to other Gryffindors. I then looked over my schedule and realized that not all my classes were sixth year classes. I had fifth year classes for both Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts. I looked as saw it was the same with Ed.
"Vat the hell? Ah vatever," Ed swore.
"What's got you upset now?" Hermione asked.
"They put us in fifth year Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions," Ed said to them.
"That's rough," Ron said. I looked over at him and I could see he looked weary of me. Just great he's gonna base if he likes me or not based on which house I'm in I guess since he didn't have a problem with me before.
"Ed I'm leaving. I'll see you in Transfiguration," I said and left. I heard some one following me and I looked behind me I found it to be Malfoy.
"Don't think you can apologize already, Malfoy. Think about it for a few days, and I mean really think about it before you come to apologize to me again," I snapped at him and disappeared down the hall to my class, trying not to be late on my first day. I walked into class and found the only open seat was next to Ed so I gladly grabbed it. Malfoy must of held me up longer than I thought , even though I was the only one who said anything.
"Why did you leave like that earlier?" he asked.
"Ron was judging me just because of the house I'm in," I told him annoyed to hell. First Malfoy now Ron, what next?
"That was fast," Ed said and just then Professor McGonagall walked in the class room. I wasn't a real big fan on this class so I just tired to tune it out as best as I could. After class Ed and I both walked to Potions together talking about our next class. Potions reminded us a lot of Alchemy so we had hoped for it to be a good class.
In Potions class the separation was more distinct. Ed and I grabbed seats in the middle. Snape walked in and started talking about OWL's before setting us to work on The Draught of Peace. Ed and I finished fairly quickly making Hermione shoot us a glare. Snape came up to inspect our potion and he seemed surprised that we got it right. He told us to bottle them up, though he seemed reluctant to let Ed. Snape said we could go since we were done.
"That was too easy," Ed said after we left.
"It's only because it's like alchemy," I said.
"Yeah yeah... Alright, let's go eat before Ancient Runes," he said.
"Another easy class," I said. "Oh then Defense with the pink toad woman."
"Don't remind me," Ed grumbled.
Ancient Runes was as simple as we had thought it would be. Ed and I were now on our way to Defense when we ran into Harry and his friends.
"Fraternizing with the enemy Ed?" Ron sneered. I knew it he's being a judgmental prick as well.
"No you idiot," Ed retorted.
"But she was talking with Malfoy!" Ron complained pissing me off now. I turned slightly and glared harshly at the prick.
"It shouldn't matter voo I talk to. Besides the idiot needs to learn to not judge people so I'm not even talking vith him. Now, I can talk to voo ever I vant. I'll tell you something similar to vant I said to him this morning. Don't hate on someone voo is different and also never judge a book by its cover," I growled at him and stormed into the class room. I saw an empty seat next to Draco and took it. This was going to be a long class.
"So who pissed you off this time?" Malfoy asked.
"Ronald Wesley, not like it is any of your business," I grumbled, crossing my arms across my chest.
Then Umbridge entered the room effectively ending all conversations.
Edited and this is the last of the edits. A new chapter is to follow this one. :D
