An Interesting Year:
Chapter 6:
Ed, Harry, and Ron made it to Snape's room at the same time as Hermione, whose arms were full of big, heavy books, and was looking very put-upon.
"We got so much homework for Runes!" She said when they walked over. "A fifteen- inch essay, two translations, and I've got to read these by Wednesday!"
"Shame," Yawned Ron.
"You wait. I bet Snape gives us loads." At that the classroom door opened and Snape stepped out. Everyone got silent, except Ed who was muttering under his breath.
When Ed walked into his classroom, the first thing that he noticed were the pictures, which showed people in pain and discomforted. Like the rest of the class he looked at these pictures with disgust.
Ed ignored Snape talking. He didn't like the way that he talked about his subject, he had a caress in his voice that made Ed's blood run cold. Soon he had completely tuned out Snape and entered his own world, not caring too much for what Snape said seeing as he had already read the books.
"Mr. Elric." Snape said walking foreword to stand in front of Ed, who was roughly awoken from his daydream.
"Yes?"
"Since you did not have to take the O.W.L. I'm sure you will be able to answer a few questions for us. Maybe some about Alchemy, for the benefit of the class?" Snape smirked.
"Sure. Ask away." Ed relaxed in his seat, looking at Snape with a bored look on his face.
"Since we were just talking about Inferi, why don't you tell the class what a Homunculus is?" Ed cringed and glared at him. His gold eyes seeming on fire.
"Homunculus," Ed started. "Are soulless beings who are created from a failed Human Transmutation. They are made to look like the person that the Alchemists tried to bring back to life. They can only be killed if you have a piece to the actual human to weaken them." Ed glared at Snape who glared back even though the room grew cold just from the stare.
"Twenty points from Gryffindor," Snape said looking at Ed. "I want you to pair up with someone and practice non-verbal spells. Mr. Elric will pair up with Mr. Lamb." Ed nodded, then walked to the front of the room with Jacob Lamb. They stood across from each other with equal looks of distaste on their faces. "One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other will attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. We will stop early so that Mr. Elric and Mr. Lamb can get some sparring in. Carry on."
Ed watched Harry and Ron. He had lost interest in watching Hermione, who had achieved the spell in less than ten minutes. Although Ron was interesting to watch as he had turned purple in the face trying to get the spell out while Harry stood there waiting.
"Pathetic, Weasley. Here-let me show you-" Snape said as he turned on Harry, who seemed to have forgotten that they were practicing non-verbal spells.
"PROTEGO!" Harry's charm knocked Snape into a desk. Ed found this much funnier than Snape though, who had given Harry detention on Saturday.
"We will stop here and allow Mr. Elric and Mr. Lamb to spar," Snape said with a flick of his wand making the desks disappear. "Please stand or sit at the back of the room to stay out of their way." Snape turned back to Ed and Jacob. "Only two rules: No killing and no Alchemy." He then turned around and went to stand at the back of the room, giving them permission to start.
Ed knew what he had to do. He took a simple fighting stance while Jacob Lamb just stood and stared at Ed.
"I'll give you the first attack," Ed said hoping to bait his opponent.
"If you insist," Ed knew that voice. The evil drawl was unmistakable. He then ran at Ed full force, right hand extended. Ed turned quickly and grabbed the boy's right arm with his automail. Swiftly with his left hand he pulled the boy's right sleeve, exposing a huge scar on the shoulder.
"Wrath."
"It took you long enough to figure it out," Wrath said, fixing his hair to it's normal length.
"This is about to get very interesting," Ed said as he ran at Wrath, clapping his hands and transforming his arm into its characteristic short blade. Wrath tried to dodge Ed's attack but was not fast enough. The class gasped as Ed stabbed Wrath right where his heart should have been. Wrath fell down to the ground leaving Ed standing with a bloodied blade.
"You…you stabbed him!" Snape stuttered walking forward to try and help Wrath the best he could.
"Don't move! And I killed him, but don't worry. He'll be back soon, just watch." Ed told Snape, raising his blade and pointing at him.
"Why should I listen to you? He needs help!"
"Just watch!"
At that precise moment Wrath opened his eyes.
"That hurt!" He said sitting up. "I'm going to have to kill you for that one," Wrath licked the blood off of his cheek as Ed sat his blade under his neck.
"This," Ed said, indicating to Wrath. "is Wrath. He is one of the Homunculi." This brought more gasps from the class. Wrath's smile grew as he used one of his hands to change his clothes to normal.
"Shrimp, I hope that you know that I'm not alone."
"Of course! So where is Envy? Or is it Sloth?" Ed asked moving his blade closer to Wrath's neck.
"Like I'd tell you!" Wrath said knocking Ed's blade out of the way, and touching the wall. When the light cleared Wrath had made his right arm into a sword. He smiled and launched toward Ed who held up his own in defense.
A yell was heard from the back of the room as Wrath's blade hit Ed's forearm, only succeeding in cutting his jacket up. Ed went to strike back but found himself at Wrath's mercy. Ed felt cold steel against his neck.
"Fix your arm," Wrath said with an evil smile on his face. Ed clapped his hands and ran his left over his right making the blade disappear. "None of you try to play hero, it won't work." Wrath said turning to the class, then back to Ed. "It's amazing how handy your arm and leg are for me. I should be thanking you. If you hadn't tried human transmutation then I might not be able to use alchemy right now." Ed's eyes narrowed as he stared at Wrath.
"What do you mean, 'his arm and leg'," spat Malfoy, daring to break the silence. Wrath smiled.
"My right arm and left leg are really his. He preformed a taboo of alchemy and lost his arm and leg to the gate, which in turn gave them to me." Ed cringed. "And now Mr. Fullmetal Alchemist, it's time for you to die!"
