*is glomped* *falls over*
Thanks! I think I like the reaction to Edward so far! He's so awesome. And there had to be alchemy somewhere! Ah… You'll love what I do next I'm sure!

There was a knock at the door. Naruto rolled over and pulled his pillow over his head. The knocking on his door increased.
"I swear to god I'll skewer you on a freaking kunai…" He muttered sleepily.
The silence lasted for only a moment before the door fell with a loud slam. Two things happened simultaneously. Kiba pounced and Naruto produced fifty shadow clones in an instant. The resulting noise was enough to bring half the boys from their dorms.
"Bloody hell! How did you do that?" Ron gaped as Kiba resigned himself to stabbing each one to get rid of them. "Doesn't that hurt?"
"It wouldn't hurt unless he actually got the real me." Naruto waved from his upside down position on the ceiling. He poofed out of existence and reappeared in front of the stunned red head.
"HE APPARATED IN HOGWARTS!" The wizard pointed and stared. The rest of the boys joined him in staring.
Both Ninja's threw their hands over their ears in shock at the volume of the yell.
"Calm down dude!" Kiba shushed him. "It's just a simple relocation jutsu." The dog-nin shook his head to clear it up. "All the people from our academy can do it."
"Ya, don't make such a fuss." Naruto frowned. "Now that I'm up what the hell do you want?"
"Breakfast is in a half hour mate. Got to get down to the great hall in time to eat and get ready for class." Ron crossed his arms and nodded his head sagely.
"Oh, and there's an owl here for us Uzumaki." Kiba handed Naruto the letter he'd received from the owl. "Says we're supposed to meet McGonagall-sensei in the headmaster's office before breakfast."
The blond scrubbed his palms over his eyes and moaned.
"I suddenly miss Tsunade-baba…"
-
"Good morning Mr. Elric would you care for break- Good lord!" Poppy nearly dropped the tray she'd been holding. "What happened?" She squeaked.
Edward sat up in his cot and gave her a quizzical look. "What do you…?" He grabbed his throat in shock. "What happened to my voice?"
The medi-witch shook her head in confusion and summoned the mirror from her office. The mirror zoomed to her and she set it in front of the alchemist. She stepped back and allowed the man to see himself.
The blond stared at his reflection with shock and amazement. Staring back was a young man of about 18-19 years of age. When he moved his arm so did the reflections. His mouth turned up into a small smile.
"I think I shall see the headmaster this morning before anything else happens." He hopped off the bed and stretched his back. "Wow… that's the first time in years that I've been able to do that without hearing a cracking noise…" He muttered jovially as he made his way to the exit. He opened the door and left without a word.
"He didn't even ask where it was…"
-
"Thank you all for coming so early. I have arranged a quick trip to Diagon Alley for you to quickly pick up some supplies and your wands."
The ninjas all nodded in agreement.
"You'll be meeting with a few more of your comrades that have recently finished their missions. Please complete this task with the utmost haste as classes start in less than an hour." The woman handed an old shoe to Naruto who took it with an odd look on his face. "It's another portkey. In less than a minute it will take you to Diagon Alley. I have arranged for George Weasely to be your escort."
The moment the witch had mentioned the shoe was a portkey, the group hand instantaneously grabbed onto it. The had a moment to breath before they felt a hook behind their navels and were whisked off into the unknown.
-
"Ah! There you are Professor McGonagall." Edward nodded a greeting. The woman looked at him in shock. "It came as a complete surprise to me as well. I think my Philosopher's Stone is reacting oddly to the field of magic you have here. I can feel the over abundance of energy everywhere… it's leaking off the walls even."
She cleared her through and gestured for the blond who was now shorter than her to follow.
"Indeed this is an extraordinary circumstance…"
"Yes. I'm not quite sure how to rectify it as of yet… but I believe that given time we shall eventually work something out. I would like to offer my services as an alchemist if you need them. I certainly can't go back to my grandchildren looking like this."
Minerva glanced at the now younger man and smiled. "I have just the position open actually. If you are not averse to teaching, we may come to an agreement."
"I am at your disposal Madam." The blond grinned and bowed theatrically.
-
"Hey! You lot, over here!"
The group of ninja turned to acknowledge a redhead waving at them.
"Right. I'm George Weasely please follow me. I've got work back at my shop and would like to get this over with as soon as possible." He muttered the last part under his breath. "Follow me."
Naruto raised his eyebrow but shrugged and followed. The rest of the group complied as well.
"You look a lot like Ron." Kiba stated.
"Yes well, the little git happens to be my kid brother." George shrugged and pushed into a shop. "This is Ollivander's. Don't mind the measuring tape."
He spoke just in time to see a measuring tape come flying at the group. It flew about them taking the most random measurements from Kiba's nostrils to Sakura's bust. Once it was finished a sickly old man came into view. He rasped into his hand and nodded to George.
"Good to see you Mr. Weasely."
The redhead finally smiled and turned away. "I'll be back in a minute. Got to wait for the next lot."
The old man looked at each ninja carefully. He hid his curiosity well as he observed them. He turned back to his desk and pulled a few cases from the shelf behind it.
"You." He said clearly and pointed at Naruto. "Step forward please."
Naruto did as asked and stood in front of the desk. He noticed the cases had opened and each held a thin stick of wood on a velvet pillow.
"Take one at a time and wave it." Another rasp.
The blond grabbed the one closest to him and waved it in a circle. Nothing happened. The old man gestured to the next one and Naruto set the first down before reaching for the next. This one emitted a faint glow that pulsed red at random intervals.
"Fascinating…" Ollivander murmured under his breath. "This one next if you will." He pulled out another wand from under his desk.
Naruto held out his palm and received the wand. As he pulled the wand up through the air a shower of violent red sparks burst into the room. Naruto swore and dropped the wand. The old man was smiling now as he stooped to grab the wand.
"This is yours. Mallorn wood with a single hair from a demon fox."
The group of ninja's became suddenly silent.
"Wow…" Naruto chuckled nervously. "Where'd you get the hair?"
"I travelled the world quite often in my day." Was all he offered. "Next please."
Sakura stepped up and took a wand in hand. She waved it and flowers popped out the end. She watched in amazement.
"Tell me… how did you know to pick this particular wand?" The old man smiled kindly.
"I'm not sure. It just felt right." She stated seeming sure of her self. "I take it this one is mine."
Ollivander nodded and gestured for the next person to join him at the desk. As Hinata reached for a wand the door opened once more, measuring tape zoomed past them and Naruto jumped the person who walked in.
"Sasuke!"
-
The group exited the shop and followed the redhead into another. Their eyes were wide with amazement at some of the things the shop offered. Lights, colors and sounds were all over exaggerated and extremely flamboyant.
"Welcome to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. This is my joke shop. Please browse at your leisure. The portkey doesn't activate for another ten minutes."
The group split up and wandered aimlessly.
"So I thought you weren't due back for another week. Or so Neji said." Naruto grinned at his friend.
"I told him to say that. We were less than a day's travel away when I sent him my last letter. I arrived to find you'd just left with half our age group."
"Yeah we're under cover at a school for wizards." The blond shrugged. "It's pretty cool. Magic and stuff. Iruka-sensei and Kakashi are going to try and teach them how to control chakra."
"Good luck. Half the people in the village can't control chakra well enough to become ninja."
"Yeah well… just wait till you wear the sorting hat. It yells really loud the house you get to go in."
The dark haired ninja raised an eyebrow.
"Kiba and I are both in Gryffindor. Home of the brave. Sakura and Neji are in Ravenclaw, for being clever. Hinata and Shino are in Hufflepuff for being hardworking. Karin and Sai are both in Slytherin for being cunning. Shikamaru opted for being a bodyguard instead of going to classes like the rest of us." The blond rolled his eyes.
"Lucky him. I bet Lee gets the Huffle thing."
"Hufflepuff you ass. Yeah I can see that happening." He looked to the man with a bowl cut. "And Ino will get Slytherin… she's sneaky enough."
Sasuke smirked at his friend. "It's good to see you again."
The blond smirked back. "Sure is."

So… not as long as it could have been, but you've all been patient enough for this. Sorry for the wait. Being a mommy is tough.
