(Disclaimer) Yes the CIA burst into my classroom this Tuesday and were like. "Who's Kittens_are_Fluffy?" I raised my hand, since we were still in school and they took me to court for plagerism on Harry Potter and Full Metal Alchemist. No seriously, guys, what do you think happened. I don't own it, duh!
RECAP
Ed sat there next to him for the rest of the ride, shoulder occasionally bumping Roy's as they went around The twists and turns in the underground passage. They screeched to a halt in front of where they started, and they all clambered out of the cart, Roy feeling as if he was walking on air. They went up the stairs, this time guided by the light of the lantern. They filed out of the stairwell and started to the door. Ed ran a bit and started laughing. "First, Mustang, we gotta get you a new shirt. Then we can go eat ice cream." Ed yelled over his shoulder, and disappearing behind the blinding white light of the outside as he opened the doors and darted through.
Chapter 4
Roy followed the energetic young alchemist through the golden double doors in the bank and blinked it the sudden brightness. He looked around for Ed, and spotted him a little way off, darting into a store.
Roy walked over the store that he saw the younger disappear into. He looked up at the sign over the front door. Hmmm Flourish and Blotts. Kinda a weird name for a store. Then again this whole idea of wizards and witches is kinda weird.
Ed poked his head out of the store door and said, "One minute, Mustang, I'll be right there!" Apparently he remembered that he was traveling with others.
Roy looked inside the window and noticed that it was COVERED in books. Typical Ed, even when hes supposed to be enjoying himself he still thinks of Al.
Ed walked around the bookstore he walked into, automatically submerged neck deep in texts of the magical type. There were books on magical beasts, curses, charms, potions, astronomy, and a number of other things. Now, which one would help us get our bodies back? But soon enough he was so submerged in books, he totally forgot why he walked into the bookstore in the first place. He walked around in a daze, eyes glazed over with half-concealed love.
In his happiness, he didn't manage to see the bushy haired girl that was walking towards him until he ran straight into her, knocking her and her books to the floor.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I was totally not looking where I was going." The girl said, stooping to pick up the fallen books. Ed gave the girl a quick smile.
"No problem. It was partly my fault as well. I was in a daze, because of all of these books." He said, helping her up with his metal hand. She looked shocked at the feel of it under his glove then looked inquiringly at him.
Ed sighed. It was one thing to belong to a magical world now, but a whole other thing to have a metal arm. Even here I guess a metal arm is pretty far-fetched "I lost it in my countries war. My best friend made the metal arm for me. Please do not tell anyone, I don't think people are used to stuff like this, even in the wizarding world."
She nodded slowly, blinked, then smiled. "Oh okay. I figured you weren't from around here, because of your accent. What country are you from, anyways? You kinda sound German, but it sounds a bit like Japanese at the same time. I promise I wont tell anyone. O and by the way, my names Hermione Granger. Whats yours?" She asked/said all this at top speed.
Ed blinked then smiled. She reminded him a lot of Winry. She certainly talked as much as her. He smiled sadly. He didn't even get to say goodbye. "I'm Edward Elric, but you can just call me Ed. So, is it safe to assume that you like books?" He asked, and they went off into a talk about all of the muggle books they have read. They got their books and walked out of the door, straight into Colonel Mustang. Ed fell to the floor and Roy helped him up, smirking. Hermione laughed and said, "Wow, Ed, you seem to have a tendency to bump into people a lot."
Ed looked up at her and said "You have no idea." Roy looked between the two younger people and coughed lightly. Ed stood up and introduced Hermione to Roy, and vice versa, making sure to leave out any mention of military titles.
Hermione looked at how Roy wasn't wearing a shirt and blushed, Ed noticing the blush and unconsciously stepping between the two. Albus, who had told Roy they could meet him in an hour in front of Ollivanders, was watching the going ons from afar, a twinkle in his eye. Oh, to be young.
"We still have to get you a new shirt. C'mon, lets go. Hermione, would you like to come with us?" Ed said, looking back at the girl as he picked up his fallen bag of books.
"No, I'm here with my parents and I'm sure theyre looking for me right now. How about we exchange phone numbers and then we can talk later?" They exchanged phone numbers and Ed and Roy walked off, Hermione waving at them from the doorway of Flourish and Blotts.
They walked down the bustling street and looked in at all of the stores, earning a few odd looks and murmers of young people these says and their fashion sense. They finally found a clothing store and they walked inside.
Ed ran over to the leather section while Roy walked over to the shirts. He picked out a black shirt that said "The Weird Sisters" on it. He didn't know who they were, but they looked pretty cool.
Ed came over to him with his arms full of leather pants. "Finished?" He asked, then proceeded to somehow maneuver onto the top of the pile and walked to the cash register, ignoring all protests Roy had at him paying for it.
"Hey, it's the least I could do since I'm the one that wasted your shirt." He payed for the shirt and threw it at Roy, which hit him full on in the face. who proceeded to pull it over his head. They walked out of the store and Roy looked down at his watch.
"Okay, so we have 45 minutes left until we have to meet Albus, so lets get going to that food you promised." Roy said, smirking at the way Ed pretended to grumble about something Roy didn't quite catch.
They walked back up Diagon Alley to a Chinese resturant that they had passes earlier. They walked into it and came face to face with a squinty eyed Chinese boy with a pony tail pulling his hair back into a semi spiky ponytail.
"Can I help you?" He asked, opening his eyes at the two new customers.
Yes, yes, YES!!! I finished and right before nine when my sister promised to kick me off. So can anyone guess whom they had just met? And yes, it will go a bit faster into meeting Harry and the rest of them soon but I need this part for opening up new friendships. LOL so please review.
