'Thoughts and spells'

~Earlier that night~

"How much longer? I'm bored." Ed complained as Chris drove passed a familiar street. "Five minutes. You're just as impatient as ever, you know that." Chris replied as Grimmauld Place came into view, parked the car across the street and turned it off. Ed and Chris then got out of the car and walked over to number twelve, knocked quietly, and waited for someone to open the door, the one who opened it seemed shocked before confusion and curiosity got the better of him and he invited them in cautiously. When the door closed, the questions started. "Who are you and how did you get here?" "My name is Christine Mousy and this is my cousin Edward Elric. We passed by here a few years ago, saw this strange bubble of light around your house, and came back to see who lives here." Chris replied and the man looked surprised and introduced himself as well "My name is Sirius Black. Yes, I live here, this is my house, and I can tell just by looking at you two that there is something in the car and I can do this." Sirius replied and opened the door again, waved his wand, and watched as two suitcases and messenger bags were removed from the trunk and levitated into the house.

Car locked once more, Sirius closed the door with a smirk as the two teens seemed impressed and asked "Is it alright if we stay? We're kinda going to some place called Hogwarts to teach a bunch of students." Ed said rather bluntly and paused, a mischievous smile appearing on his face "Sirius, how long have you been in here? You're starting to look pale." "Months." Sirius muttered and glanced towards the door, suddenly he thought about Ed's question and looked towards Chris with happiness in his eyes as she held up her car keys and winked, getting the idea as well. "Ed, try not to cause any trouble. Don't let Wiff and Amethyst wander." And with that, Chris dragged Sirius out the door and to her car, Ed locking the front door behind them. "It's night time right now, so no one should be able to realize it's you." Chris stated as they got into the car "How do you know about that?" Sirius asked suspiciously "An old man named Dumbledore told me about you. Have you honestly not left your own house to just to go for a walk for a few minutes? A few hours should be fine, right?" She asked incredulously. "Can we do this again tomorrow? I'll just wear a disguise, I'm DYING of boredom in there!" Sirius exclaimed as he rolled down the window a little bit to enjoy the London air on his face.

Chris nodded and they drove around for a few minutes, eventually stopping at a nearby Starbucks. Sirius followed Chris inside and they ordered their drinks, and because it was cold, three large peppermint hot chocolates with whip cream. Sirius enjoyed the cool fresh air, no one likes being cooped up in their own home for months with nothing to do. "I know you're not wizards. You're different. Human, but different. What are you two?" He asked curiously. "We are from two different worlds, we're also not really cousins. That is just our cover story for this world. Edward is an alchemist. A very special one, a state alchemist, in the military he is known as the FullMetal Alchemist. His right arm and left leg are made of metal, caused by a foolish mistake he made. Be careful about what you say around him. We agreed to only tell those we absolutely trust about us, too curious for your own good and you won't like the answer you get." Chris paused to let the information about Ed sink in and continued.

"I am a visored Quincy, a Soul Reaper with the powers of a Quincy and a Hollow. I'm also an alchemist, I studied it a bit and Ed helped me perfect it in exchange for me teaching him some of my spells. Equivalent Exchange. My mother used to tell me stories about wizards and magic, I know all the kido spells relating to attack, healing, destruction, and defense for Soul Reapers. I'm supposed to teach the students alternative defense spells in case they don't actually learn anything, as well as some attacks. Ed's going to be my assistant, as well as the alchemy professor. We're teaching in the same classroom, just different times, but if we feel bored-which will happen, mind you- then we can help each other teach the class." Chris paused again, Sirius remaining quite to let the information sink in before asking "So, you aren't from this particular world?" Chris nodded sadly as they finally made it back to the car and got in, driving back to Grimmauld Place.

Suddenly a thought occurred to both of them, and they suddenly looked worried "I hope they aren't panicking or destroying my house." Sirius groaned and relaxed the rest of the way back. When they returned Sirius opened the door as quietly as possible and entered, locking the door behind them. As they walked to the kitchen, Ed was quietly making his way down the stairs, having secretly been in a spare room Sirius let them stay in and smirked at them. After handing Ed his drink they walked in. Upon entering the kitchen, all hell broke lose as the three were now the center of attention.
