Alphonse woke up that morning looking forward to his second day of school. He got dressed and went down to the common and saw Winry.
"Hey Winry, where's brother?" Al said standing next to her. Al always thought Winry was taller than him only now did he see that he was a good three inches taller than her. Of course his brother was a head taller than Winry which in Al's opinion was just plane odd. Ed was taller than Al and a year ago when Al was armor his brother didn't even come up to his shoulder.
"I don't know?" She said
"Alphonse, Winry!" Sora yelled coming over to them "You two should get to the hospital wing." Al and Winry paled "Its Ed. He's hurt." After that Al took off. He ran past blurred faces until he got into the hospital wing. There was only one bed with a person in it. It was Ed.
"Hey get out!" the nurse yelled
"He's my brother!" Al yelled. She let him go.
Al walked over to him. He was asleep. His shirt was off and he was patched up but his arm. His right arm. Was flesh! Al felt it. No it felt like metal, but why did it look real! "Why is his arm...?"
"I put a charm on it." Said an old voice from behind followed by an
"Edward!" from Winry
"He's quite lucky. He got hit with an arrow and it did not hit any organ. But after he was hit he ran about a half mile and there for he lost a lot of blood. He also had an arrow stuck in his right arm but I repaired his arm with a spell and charmed as you see." Dumbledore told them "How he was hit I do not know. Only he would know."
And almost as if by cue Ed awoke.
"Huh what the hell." He said trying to sit up. Madam Ponfry pushed him back down telling him to rest.
"Ed are you ok?" Winry asked
"Yeah I'm fine."
"What happened to you!" Al asked
"It was those damn freaky hipped up chimeras on steroids!"
"Who?"
"THE CENTAURS!" Ed yelled then pulling back to the wound on his stomach. "Owe."
"Why did the centaurs attack you?" Dumbledore asked
"I called them freaky hipped up chimeras on steroids." Ed mumbled
"Ah yes that would make them angry. Thank-you for telling me." After that he left. Edward sat up and Madam Ponfry just let him be.
"So Ed how did you come across centaurs?" Winry asked
"I followed Sora and Co. into the forest."
"Why?"
"They were talking about some king so I followed them and apparently they need me to defeat something called heartless."
"Uh-huh" Al said
"Well It doesn't matter I'm just glade your safe." Winry said taking his left hand, which still had 'I must not tell lies' carved on it. She compared it to her own. Ed's hand writing was surprisingly neater than her own. His was long and was never out of place. It almost looked cursive even though it was printed. It was more than likely like this because how much he researched. While hers was well…. normal. Every time Winry was with Ed she felt normal. Ed was anything but normal. Ed was tall, strong, sweet, brave, and just plane golden. Literally. His hair, his eyes, his skin tone, even his heart. You would never know it if you didn't really know him. When Winry turned 16 Ed gave her a silver bracelet that had a stone in it. A sapphire which was not only the color of her eyes but it was her birthstone. So in short whenever Winry was with Ed she felt unspecial in everyway.
Winry didn't know it yet but to Edward Winry was the specialist thing he could think of. She was pretty, strong, and smart plus she was not afraid to speak her mind. (The whole point in this section is to say they are falling head over heals for each other so yeah. ^-^)
"Ed what's that on your hand?" Alphonse said looking at his left hand. "And Winry it's on your hand too!"
"Uhh…" Ed started.
"It was our detention." Winry said looking away.
"Why didn't you guys tell me?" Al felt so betrayed. This happened to them and they didn't tell him!
"We didn't want toad bitch to win." Ed said stating the truth.
"How is telling me have her win?" Al demanded
"Because it shows we are weak stupid children! Stopping to cry about a little scratch is what a child would do. The reason she did this was to prove us as children." Ed snapped
"You still could have told me." Al said backing down
"Yes we could have. And I am sorry, will forgive us brother?" That stopped Al dead. Ed asking for an apology? He called him brother? He only called him brother when something bad happened. Brother was something that a younger brother called his older brother. It showed respect. Oh well.
"Yeah, yeah I forgive you." After he said that Hermione came in.
"Oh god what happened?" She asked
"Centaurs." They all said
"I don't even want to know."
"To tell ya' the truth besides the massive blood lost this is nothing." Ed said
"Oh yeah you're in the military. It's easy to forget." Hermione told them
"Really why?" Ed asked
"Well… You're too uh." Hermione started but quickly turned pink.
Ed sensed she didn't want to say so he changed the subject "Hey Ponfry when can I leave?"
"2 days."

This year at Hogwarts something extraordinary happened. All four houses agreed on something. Edward Elric was hot. His brother Alphonse was cute too, but his brother was older, better looking, he was a little aggressive, his eyes had a spark, and (surprisingly) taller. But when word spread he was in the hospital every girl wanted to see him.
Katie Bell and her friend Leann were the first to visit. They came in after their last class that day. They walked in to hear Edward yelling at Madam Ponfry.
"I can't stay here for 2 more days! I can barely last 2 more minutes!" He yelled
"Mr. Elric you have lost a lot of blood." She started
"I KNOW! BUT I HAVE LOST MORE THAN THIS AND I'M FINE! NOW WILL YOU LET ME GO!" She just gapped at this boy. Katie and Leann couldn't see Ed but they figured he must have looked fine. They were somewhat right. He did get his golden color back but he was still bandaged.
"Fine I'll let you go tomorrow but no sooner. I still have disinfect your wound then I have to heal it." She said then walked away. Katie and Leann took this moment to talk with Ed.
"Hey Ed how are you?" Katie asked
"We heard you were hurt so we came by." Leann said
"I'm doing fine." Ed said when they came into view. They saw him sitting on the bed. And his shirt was off, his hair was down and for once he was alone.
"Hey Ed we were wondering something." Leann said
"What?"
"Are you dating Winry?" Katie asked. Ed blushed.
"No, no, no. We're just old friends. If we dated it would be too weird. She's my best friend; she's like a sister to me. Plus I wouldn't risk her friendship for the world." He said very fast his blush increasing every second.
Katie and Leann looked at each other and laugh. "We get it now." Katie said
"Get what?"
"Nothing." Leann said getting up "We'll see you later Ed." Then they left, passing Winry on their way out. They giggled.
"What was that about?" Winry asked sitting next to Ed on the bed.
"They wanted to know if we were dating."
"Why would they ask that?" Winry asked sarcastically. She hid her sarcasms too well for Ed to pick thought.
"No idea."
"So what did you tell them?"
"No you're an old friend and you mean too much to me too risk… CRAP!" Winry giggled and kissed Ed on the cheek. Ed looked at her and blushed. "Uh what was that?"
"A thank-you."
"For what?"
"Now Ed what's the fun in telling you?" After she said that Al came in forcing them to change the subject.
