5.- Uninvited Guests

'OK, if I was a stupid immature wizard… where would I hide? Why would I be hiding anyways? Geez, he had all the protection he wanted there and he still had to break it and play hero, didn't he?' Ed was thinking as he was going down Diagon Ally looking for his fugitive. 'Note to self: Hit him in the face… scratch that, ask him how he escaped unnoticed.'

Having half his mind in his thoughts and the other half looking for Harry, Ed didn't notice the person running towards him in the opposite direction.

Yep, you guessed… CRASH!!!

"Oww… man, my head!" said Ed sitting up to check who was the idiot on top of him, but all he could see was a blond head against his face. "Step away already… hey! -poke- are you dead or something?"

The person slowly moved and Edward soon found two big blue eyes looking up at him… yes, looking up.

The girl opened her mouth before Edward realized the way she was looking at him wasn't exactly anger… or anything related to that feeling.

"OMG! A Swerfizcut!!!!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Man! Talk about getting lost in a moment of depression…" Harry said, looking around him. "-sigh- I guess standing here won't help much." As he started walking he felt something behind him. You know, those times that it's not as if something is actually behind you, but you still feel you have to look. Well, this is not one of those times; that "thing" that made our hero look back actually fell on him. Sounds familiar?

"Agh! What the-?"

"Potter?"

Harry turned to the voice, half expecting to see a familiar and not-so-wanted face; but only half, the other part was strongly wishing and pleading he was wrong.

"Malfoy!" … he wasn't.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"A what?"

"A Swerfizcut! You are one aren't you?" Ed just stared at the girl, trying to make sense of the situation. He stayed quiet; it usually works better that way. "OMG! Just wait until I tell Dad about it!" she took something from her pocket and offered it to Edward, the way you would offer food to a scared animal to get it out of its hiding. "Come on, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a big fan of your-"

"OK, stop it! Who are you, and what the HELL are you talking about!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Nice going Malfoy. Crashing like that on people."

"Me? You were the one just standing there looking stupid, Potter!"

"Look, I'm already having a bad day. I don't need you to make it worse."

Malfoy laughed. "You are having a bad day?"

Harry really looked at the boy for the first time and realized the 'why' of the sarcasm on the other's question. You don't usually expect people like him to have bad days; with all that ego and all. But today was different; he didn't look like the archenemy he knew at all. His clothes were worn out and too big for him; he was paler than usual; his hair was messy and somehow looked darker; and he was wearing an old, dirty and ragged robe. Not like Malfoy at all.

"What happened to you!" Harry asked before he could stop himself. He almost sounded worried. Almost.

"That's none of your business, Potter. Now get out of my way!" of course he wasn't getting an answer. Silly Harry.

Malfoy tried to stand up but fell again looking at his right leg while holding up the tears.

"I don't think you're going anywhere anytime soon." said Harry.

"Shut up!!... just shut the hell up…" answered Malfoy in a cracked voice. Harry just looked down at him trying to decide what to do.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Come back, Mr. Swerfizcut!" yelled the blond girl.

"Stay the hell away from me!!!" Ed yelled back while running as fast as he could.

He finally made a turn to the main street. He took notice of a group of redheads gathered close and ran to them. When he got to ear-distance the youngest turned to him and asked.

"Ed, what's wrong? Did you find Harry?"

Edward opened his mouth to answer when two pale arms wrapped around him. He froze.

"Got cha!" the blond said smiling.

"Luna?" Ginny said.

"Oh! Hi, Ginny! Ronald, Hermione!"

"Hi. Umm, what are you doing?"

"I found this Swerfizcut running down the street. Isn't it awesome!"

"Ejem… Luna, that not a Swerfizcut, that's our friend, Edward Elric." Hermione intervened already feeling annoyed.

"What! Aw, man! But he looks so much like one." Luna said disappointed.

"Get off of me! What's a Swer-whatever, anyways?" Ginny, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other, not wanting to be the ones to answer the question.

"It's a sort of German dwarf thought to be extinct." Luna said, oblivious to what was coming.

"WHAT!" Too late…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Damnit, Malfoy. What do you eat? Air? A feather would be heavier than you."

"No body asked you to do this, Potter. Put me down if I'm such a bother."

"Oh, sure, you're welcome."

"I don't need your pity."

"Do you really think I was going to leave you there in the middle of nowhere? Think again, rich boy, I'm not like you."

Malfoy didn't answer. He would have probably left him there to die with no regret.

The picture was quite funny. After their little encounter, Harry had decided to take Malfoy to the Leaky Caldron, not a good idea probably, and there see what to do with him. Malfoy's leg was crashed; how had he manage to get to the Ally? Simple really, he just appeared there. So now he got to ride on Harry's back. Yippee.

"Since when do you know how to appear?" Harry broke the silence. Malfoy didn't answer. "Hey!" Great. Blondie was asleep.

Harry looked around him. No one to see. He was alone.

"What happened to you?" he asked aloud, more to himself.

"Who knows…" is the answer he got.
