-In London and Meeting the Headmaster-
-Chapter 2-
-At the London Airport, 6.30 p.m-
'We had just arrived. All passengers please retrieve your luggage before leaving the airport. We thank you for using the Japanese Airlines (1), have a nice day.'
Ryoma sighed. He hated America and he's not too happy with London too. Oh well, he couldn't help it. He was already here; he just has to cope with it. Turning to face his teammates, he only found Tezuka-buchou and Takashi-sempai did not go around the airport causing mayhem, I mean, going shopping. Looking around, he managed to see where they went:
Momo : Eating burgers in the nearest restaurant.
Fuji : Looking at various scenery photos in the gift shop.
Oishi: Got dragged into a photo booth by Eiji, blushing.
Eiji : Dragged Oishi into the nearest photo booth.
Inui : Writing down notes on London people, muttering 'Ii data'.
Kaidoh: Playing with a cute cat that strongly resembles Karupin… hmm… interesting…
The three who was not doing the aforementioned activities sweat dropped. What the hell were they doing? Ryoma saw that their captain's face gave the tiniest twitch doable. He doesn't envy his sempai's right now… Tezuka-buchou is not happy. Proof? Well…
'EVERYONE COME BACK HERE!' ordered (shouted) Tezuka-buchou.
There it is. Ryoma really didn't envy his sempais right now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same place, 6.40 p.m-
'Get your lazy ass moving!'
'Look who's talking, you're the one who almost made us late for the flight!'
'Whatever! You do know that we need to go see that headmaster of that Hogwarts-something school in 10 minutes right?'
'Of course I do! I'm the one who told you that!'
'Yeah, at two in the morning! Why the hell do we have to board a 7.00 a.m plane anyways? I'm still sleepy.'
'We have too because it's last minute! How can you still be sleepy? You slept the whole journey here! You were snoring too if I might add!'
'I don't snore!'
'Yes you do, shrimp.'
'WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MINI SIZED, MICROSCOPIC SHRIMP!?!!'
That last comment made people stare at the rushing duo, who are still having a shouting contest, ignoring the stares that the other people gave them. The one who explode at being called a shrimp was wearing a black jacket, black leather pants, high heeled black shoes, white gloves and with his (or is it a her?) hair in a short braid. The other one is wearing a blue top, jean pants, white gloves like the (2) other one's but it has a strange symbol at the back. He wore his hair short. (A/N: Yup, it's Roy and Ed!)
The both of them walked in top speed, still sapping insults at each other They finally stopped shouting at each other when they bumped into the Seigaku Regulars.
-----------------------------------------------------------
When they collided, it was head on, as every one was either running or walking in top speed. The collision made everyone lose their footing and fall on top of each other.
-----------------------------------------------------------
'Ouch…'
Everyone there groaned. The collision gave a nasty after effect to them. Roy opened his eyes. His eyes met gold. Wait, gold? He quickly scurried away from the gold, yelping as it was none other than the Fullmetal Alchemist himself!
Feeling a blush coming, he mentally slapped himself to rid himself of the wrong thoughts coming to his mind. Fortunately, it worked. He glanced the group he and Ed just collided into…
… And sighed in relief. Everyone seemed to be alright. They all somehow got into awkward positions, (Tezuka on top of Fuji, Momo on top of Ryoma, Eiji on top of Oishi…;D) but they're all okay… kind off…
'WAHHHH! Sorry Echizen!'(Momo)
'Um… Tezuka, would you get off of me?'(Fuji)
'Ahhh!!! Sorry Oishi, nyaa!'(You know who this is right?)
When everyone had gotten to their feet, they apologized to the opposite parties. That's when Ed reminded Roy that they were almost late for the meeting with Dumbledore.
'You're right! Sorry, but we gotta go!' Roy grabbed his luggage and Ed's arm and started to walk away. He almost –emphasis on almost- made a step but was stopped by Fuji.
'Wait!'
Roy turned back to the group, his face clearly shows that he's agitated. 'Yes?' he asked a little bit too politely.
'You're going to Hogwarts too?' Fuji asked them.
'Yeah. You too?' this time it was Ed who spoke.
'Uh-huh. Were meeting the headmaster in front of the airport in…' he glanced at his watch,'5 MINUTES!'
'WHAT! OH NO, WE GOT TO HURRY!' Momo suddenly exclaimed.
'Maybe it would be faster if we go together?' everyone looked at the person who suggested that, who was Roy. 'I mean we're going to the same place, right Ed?'
Ed nodded in agreement. If you're wondering why Roy called Ed by his name instead of Fullmetal, let us go back to their previous conversation on the airplane, shall we?
-----------------------------------------------------------
-FLASHBACK-
-2.00 a.m, in the plane-
'Fullmetal.'
'What is it? Sleepy… lemme sleep…'Ed replied with half-lidded eyes.
'Hey, listen to me, shrimp. This is an undercover mission, so I want you to call me professor or sir or Roy while we're in the presence of others and I will call you either Ed or Edward. Got that?'
'Yeah, yeah… can I sleep now?' Ed didn't wait for an answer and dozed off in two seconds flat. Roy wondered if Ed heard what he said.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Apparently, he did, since Ed now called him Roy. Good thing he remembered that conversation.
Roy and Ed walked to their destination behind the Seigaku Regulars, as they had agreed to go there together since they are meeting the same person, at the same place, at the same time and perhaps for the same reason.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-10 minutes later-
The Seigaku Regulars and the State Alchemists finally arrived at their destination. The trip was supposed to be a 3 minute walk, but they had gotten lost. The airport was so big that you could easily lose your way. When they made one wrong turn, they ended up at the Food Court instead of the elevator. It took the 5 minutes for them to get back on the right track!
'Sorry we're late, Mr. Dumbledore!' Roy apologized to the elderly man before him, who was wearing a kilt and a pink shirt.
Everyone could only gape at the strange attire. I mean, what kind of guy wears a pink shirt and a kilt? Looks like the wizards have horrible taste in clothing. Their snapped back to attention when Dumbledore cleared his throat.
'I take it that you are the foreign students from Amestris and Japan?' he asked or, more like stated, politely.
He received nods and mumbles of Yeahs.
'Good. Now let us go to a more private place to discuss as people are staring.' He was right about the staring part, but it was mostly directed to Dumbledore because of his… unusual choice of clothes. They decide to take his advice and followed the attention-drawing old man.
-----------------------------------------------------------
All 11 foreigners got out of the Knight Bus, some look like they could faint on the spot, some are turning into various shades of green, while some look like they're ready to throw up. Oh, wait, someone did throw up. But I'm not mentioning any names (coughmomocough).
Their dear host (Dumbledore) had told them to take the Knight Bus as apparating is hard if you are taking 10 people as passengers and obviously Roy doesn't know how (much to Roy's agitation that is).
After everyone managed to get a hold of themselves (and their breakfast), everyone got into a freaky looking pub that Dumbledore told them is called 'The Leaky Cauldron'. As they got in the pub, numerous sneezes could be heard from everybody except for Dumbledore, who had changed his clothing to a blue robe with a pointy hat. Sweat drops emerged from the heads of the 11 foreigners, all thinking that; that doesn't seem any better than the outfit he wore at the airport, but it looked like every wizard dresses about the same way.
Suppressing their urges to laugh, they followed Dumbledore to the nearest table. He ordered drinks that sounded like 'butter beer' for the foreigners and something called 'Fire whisky' for himself. When the drinks arrived, Roy had asked if there was any alcohol in the drinks as the other 10 are minors. Dumbledore replied with a twinkle in the eye that it did have alcohol but at a very small dose. It was also legal for minors to drink them and Ed was of age anyway, so he wasn't a minor anymore.
'Eh? That blonde shrimp is 18?' Momo suddenly asked. The blonde heard this and exploded.
'WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LOW LIFE FEMALE SHRIMP THAT YOU HAVE TO BEND DOWN TO SEE!!!!'
Ed almost launched himself at the very frightened tennis regular and would have severely beaten him up if it had not been for Roy who snapped his fingers and set his hair on fire. Panicked, he ran around in circles shouting, 'Put it out! Put it out! Put it out!'
-----------------------------------------------------------
-2 hours later-
Dumbledore managed to put out the fire and explained to everyone present that Ed was male, much to Momo's apparent disappointment. Then, he told them that 17 is the age limit in the wizarding world. They were briefed on the whys and how's they have been selected to be students at Hogwarts. The Seigaku Regulars now knew who and why Roy and Ed were there. They also found out that each and every one of the Seigaku Regulars were muggle-born.
Dumbledore had asked for them not reveal anything they heard to anybody and told Ed to hide his metal arm at all costs. At that information all hell broke lose. Ed was bombarded with questions and was forced to take his clothes off, leaving him stripped to his boxers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Roy was forced to look away. He could fell the blood rushing to his nose. Don't think bad thoughts. He told himself. Don't think bad thoughts… don't…. This time, it didn't work. The thoughts that pass through his mind made him blush. When he finally pulled himself back together, Ed had already dressed and was chasing everyone who made him took off his clothes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sighing, Roy thanked Dumbledore (who ceased the mayhem). Dumbledore nodded and said his farewells. Before he apparated, he told them to get rooms there and to get a good night's rest to get ready shopping for school supplies. He also told them that their guide to go to Diagon Alley would arrive at nine tomorrow morning.
He then bade them and then dissapeared in a loud crack, leaving 11 stunned foreigners behind him.
'Well, let's get the rooms okay guys?' said Ed when he recovered.
Everyone who had recovered nodded and dragged the nearest ones who still remained frozen with their mouths hanging open back into the pub. Dumbledore had given them money before he left and told them to go to the banks first tomorrow.
The money they had received wasn't very much and they could only rent 5 rooms. After much arguing, they decided to pair up:
1. Momo and Ryoma
2. Tezuka and Fuji
3.Oishi and Eiji
4.Inui, Kaidoh and Taka (Who is really afraid of Inui Juice, if you get what I mean.)
5.Ed and Roy
After that was settled, they moved their luggage to their respective rooms. After biding each other 'Goodnight!' they went into their rooms only to find that each room they occupy only has one king-sized bed each!
