Ok, heres the next chapter cuz I have to know what you guys think and if your like me,you only review on stories 5,000 words or more unless its really good. Or maybe it just me.... I guess I am kinda odd.... O wells XP *psstt* dont tell my sister but i stole her black and white jelly bracelets. It just goes sowell with what im wearing today XDDDD
I totally forgot the disclaimers in the last chapter but hopefully this will suffice.
*Disclaimer* I do not own fma or Harry Potter or anything. I just love the prospect of getting Roy and Ed together and Harry and Draco. I mean, come on, those two pairs are DESTINED for each other. At least in my mind. Seriously though, if people took that much timeout of theirday JUST to fight with each other,then they MUST want the other person but have a reputation to uphold. Anywhos, on with the next chapter of Edward Elric and the Sorcerer's Stone.
RECAP
Ed sullenly walked up to the bearded, cloaked man and gingerly took ahold of his arm. Roy strode over to the other side and tookhis other arm confidently. Riza stepped forward and said "Be safe, Colonel. And please, Ed, dont go looking for trouble" She stepped back and walked out the door, shutting it after her.
Albus, with a little twinkle in his eye, said,"Ready? Okay, brace yourselves for this" It felt like the world was pulled out from under their feet as they took a firmer grasp upon the elder mans arm, ready for anything this magic world had to throw at them.
Chapter 2
Ed felt like he was being squeezed through a tube and couldnt breath at all. All of a a sudden, his feet slammed hard on the earth and for the second time that day, he lost his ballance and fell. Dammit, why me? He thought, sucking in air into his flattened lungs. He started gagging.
"What the hell, why does the air taste like liquor and... rotten cheese? Where the hell are we, anyways?" Ed asked, looking around. He was in a moderatly crowded pub that looked like it could use a good cleaning. Great, I get a day thats full of crap and now i get a pub that looks like crap as well. "Andhow the hell was this an alley anyways?"
"To be more precise, this is The Leaky Cauldron, which is the entrance to Diagon Alley. We can't apparate directly into it, because there are several wards against this." (A.N. Im not quite sure how accurate this is but since everything always starts in the Leaky Cauldron and goes into Diagon Alley through it, I assumed it. Sorry if this is wrong.)
"Why the heck would you want to apparate into a crap ho-" Ed was abruptly cut off as Mustang covered Ed's mouth with his gloved hand, hissing in his ear "Dont be rude' and turning to Albus with a now struggling Ed in his arms. "I'm sorry for his behavior. He never learned to control his mouth" And pushed Ed's head down in a semi-semblance of a bow.
Ed wrenched his way out of Roy's grip. "What the hell, Mustang? What did I say wrong?" He spat, apparently not too pleased at the prospect of Roy touching him. Well, its not that im not happy about it,its just...
Professor Dumbledore merely looked amused. "Edward, I believe I told you that cursing will not be allowed in Hogwarts. And if Mr. Mustang here saw fit, he could give you a detention, seeing as he's Hogwarts new Alchemy teacher.
Ed faltered then started again. "First of all, its Ed. Not Edward or Fullmetal or Mr. Elric, just Ed. Second of all, were not in Hogwarts right now, and you didn't say anything about cursing OUTSIDE of Hogwarts. Third of all, WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS UP WITH YOUR BRAIN OLD MAN FOR GIVING MUSTANG MORE POWER THAN HE ALREADY HAD???" Ed bellowed, not quite wanting to believe what he had just heard. Mustang, as a teacher? Better yet, as a teacher at a school that he has to go to? Man if theres a god out there, he must really hate me.. Ed thought miserably.
'Yes, Mr. Elric. He is the newest teacher at your school,also starting September 1. He seemed the best for the job, because as your Fuhrer said, he has way too much talent to spend idling in an office all day signing papers and dating anything in a skirt." His eyes flashed in amusement as Ed turned, incredulous, to Mustang.
"HAH!!!! So even the fuhrer knows that your a big waste of space in HQ and got tired pf your incessive flirting so he sends you to some far off country to teach children." Ed snorted. Man, I'm never going to let him live that down. That is too funny.
Roy sighed. He had pretty much thought something along the samelines, but he wasn't going to tell Edward that. No, enough people were already staring at them to begin with. I'm going to make the shrimp pay. He thought, chuckling darkly at the thought.
Ed began to edge away from the dark haired Colonel. He really didn't like the look on his face. He looks like hes plotting revenge. Ed shuddered. Whatever the Colonel was up to, it wasn't going to end well for him. That he knew very well.
Dumbledore stepped between the two alchemists. "Shall we be off, then?" He asked merrily, popping a lemon drop into his mouth. He started to hum a few lines of some song. Roy and Ed both turned and looked at the older wizard. He stared back. Mustang broke the silence by stepping foward and said, "Yea, lets go. We need to get our things for Hogwarts. Plus, my instincts tell me if we stay in here any longer, Ed might just get drunk off the liquor in the air."
"Will not!" Ed said, stamping his foot like a child. Well, at least he can act the part. But maybe he should aim a little higher in the age category. I mean, acting like a 5 year old is a bit too young.
"Yes, let us be on our way. Come this way,if you please" Dumbledore said, and led them to the back of the pub. They went out a ratty old door and ended up behind the pub, a few garbage cans there too.
"O yea, this is so much more cheery than the pub. Are our school supplies going to be in those garbage cans? Or does this stupid brick wall Magically turn into a portal to the REAL Diagon Alley?" Ed said sarcastically, looking around the dingy back of the pub.
Dumbledore only smiled at him. He withdrew his wand from his sleave and tapped the 13th brick on the wall, the one that looked like they placed it wrong. The block quivered, then started moving outwards. All the other bricks started moving, too and they shifted and turned until they made an archway.
"Wow, and I was only joking!" Ed said, walking through the archway into the bustling Diagon Alley. Roy followed close after, just as awestruck as Ed was, he just disn't show it with his normal mask in place. Albus followed close after and was smiling at the pair. My reaction the first time was pretty much the same. Its been so long since I've been in Diagon Alley.
"Wow, now THIS is what I call an alley!" Ed said, trying to look at everything at once. He stopped once he saw a magestic white building looking at the end of the alley. It was gorgeous! It was made completely of white marble, and had golden doors leading into the interior.
"That, Mr. Elric, is Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Its run completely by goblins, and thats our first stop on the list. Your military gave both of you a vault and exchanged some Amestrian gold with our currency. O, and before I forget. Nobody knows about different worlds and such. In this world, your accents sound kinda German, so from now on if somebody asks, please say your from Germany. I wouldnt want our envoys from other worlds to be caught up in stuff they dont want to be. If the wrong people know that your from another world, they will try to use you.'' Albus said, sweeping up the pristine steps and stopping at the doors.
"Wait, what does that mean?" Ed asked, pointing at the wording over the entrance to the wizard bank. ''Beware? Beware of what? Goblins? Psh, I can take them on.''
Albus just looked at him and opened the door. The trio went inside and Roy took one look at the goblins and started snickering. "Whats so damn funny?" Ed asked. Roy just looked at him and started cracking up. "Well, Edward, it seems that there ARE shorter things than you in this world." He said between laughes, pointing at the goblins sorting the jewels on the sides of the walkways.
"WHO'S SO SHORT THAT HE HAS TO HOLD SOMEONES HAND TO CROSS THE STREET BECAUSE A CAR WOULDNT BE ABLE SEE HIM?!?!" Ed yelled, causing every eye in the bank to swivel towards them. One person in particular stood out. Man, that guy is freaking Huge!!
A giant man with long, black shaggy hair and a long shaggy beard walked towards them, his dustbin sized hands on a young boy with black hair, green eyes, and glasses' shoulder. As they walked towards them, Ed noticed a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. I wonder how he got that. He thought vaguely.
"Ah, Hagrid. I didnt expect to see you here. And this must be young Harry. You withdrew some gold from his vault? Good, good, now your off to get a wand, I see. Good job, Hagrid. Are you bringing him back to his guardians house now? Very well, I will see you at Hogwarts then." Dumbledore said.
Ed walked up to Hagrid and looked up at him. "Your huge, you know that?" Hagrid looked down at Edward and said "I guess I am kinda tall, but arent you kinda short?" Ed exploded "Ok, | AM NOT THAT SHORT!!!!" He huffed, and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked past them to the high desk. Great, yet another thing I have to look up to.
Hagrid nodded at them all, and said "Excuse me, we have got to be going. Lots to buy" Albus nodded back and said "As do we, Hagrid, as do we" The two groups passed each other and Roy nodded at Hagrid, who nodded back. They must know each other somehow.
When Hagrid and the boy he called Harry were out the door, they all walked up to the front desk. Mustang stepped foward and pulled 2 keys out of his left pocket. Wait, when did he change? And since when did he wear civilian clothes. I guess its just different cuz he looks like he always is wearing that damned blue suit. Ed thought. The goblin looked at Mustang and ased, "Can I help you?" Mustang cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I would like to acess the two military accounts that were just set up, one for Mr. Roy Mustang and one for Mr. Edward Elric." The goblin sized Mustang up, then looked at Ed and smirked. Ed scowled back at him.
"May I see the keys for both the vaults please." Roy passed the keys over the counter and the goblin inspected them. "Everything seems to be in order. Lets go now." He stepped off the platform he was on and walked to the left of the room. He opened the door that was there and said a sneering "After you" before ushering them all down the stairs into complete darkness.
