Welcome to my Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Harry Potter crossover!

I really loved this anime and saw a lot of great crossovers fanfics and decided to write my own!

So just to clarify, this if for the 2nd Anime (Brotherhood) and the 5th Harry Potter book (Order of the Phoenix)

For FMA, I will be moving some events around. It will be set right after episode 18, but were the part of the events (all concerning digging up the failed human transmutation and learning they hadn't brought back their mother in episode 20) Pretty much just think Ed returned from Resembol and Mustang's plan hasn't happened yet. So long story short...Ed is back from seeing Ross in the ruins of Xerxes and this is before Mustang's team goes "fishing".

And I think that is about all you need to know right now... but if you ever need clarification please tell me via review or PM!

And I will be drawing upon some things (mostly personality traits) from the original 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist Anime, but we will cross that bridge when we get there :)

Also this fanfic is rated T for some minor violence and fowl language (mostly on Ed's part...actually 99.99% of it is Ed)

But anyway, enough with my ramblings!

Let's get into the story!

Please enjoy and review your thoughts :)

Chapter 1- Hydrogen

Edward Elric walked up the steps to Central Command. His brother, Alphonse Elric, walked beside him, this heavy armor clanking around.

"I can't believe Lieutenant Ross is alive" Al whispered to himself.

"Quiet Al. We can't let that little fact slip out" Ed muttered, keeping his golden eyes trained on the hall in front of him.

"Sorry Brother. But why do you think the Colonel called us here?" Al questioned.

"Probably to give me grief or something. I swear I can already hear his smug voice, Al" Ed growled, running his left hand through his blond bangs.

"But he has been good to us brother, giving us leads and not letting anyone know our secret and true purpose for looking for a Philosopher's Stone" Alphonse said.

"Whatever. Colonel Bastard still keeps us in the dark about too many things. And now we can't even use a stone if we find it" Ed complained and then sighing.

Alphonse looked down as well. He and his brother couldn't use a Philosopher's stone to get their original bodies back.

Not when it took countless human lives to make.

"But don't worry Al. I am sure we can still figure out a way to get you your body back" Ed said.

"And return your right arm and left leg!" Al added cheerily.

Ed smiled slightly at his brother's enthusiasm. Edward was determined to fix the mistakes he had made four years ago that cost his brother his entire body and Edward himself an arm and a leg.

The failed attempt at the taboo known as Human Transmutation. The young boys trying to bring back their dead mother as their father had left them years ago, leaving the two brothers alone.

"Sure Al. We just need to keep looking. I am sure we're close. I can feel it" Ed said smirking as he approached Mustang's office and pushing open the doors.

"Edward. I see your back" Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye said turning to see the Elric brothers entering the office.

"Hello Lieutenant." Edward asked, crossing his arms "And Colonel" he said eyeing the Colonel sitting at his desk with his hands folded in front of him with his elbows resting on his desk.

"Hey Chief. How was the East? Did your repairs go well?" 2nd Lieutenant Jean Havoc said.

"It was very nice. My repairs were okay" Edward said looking right at Colonel Mustang who only gave a slight smirk "Where's Falman?"

"On sick leave" Riza said quickly and Ed nodded.

"Are you two going to stay in Central?" Sgt. Fuery asked.

Before Edward could answer the Colonel spoke up at that moment.

"Actually I have a set of orders for you." Mustang said picking up a file and holding it out for the eldest Elric brother.

"What is it now? Another conspiracy? Or is it a drug bust?" Edward said grabbing the folder and opening the file and reading the sheet in front of him.

"What-what is this?" Edward questioned looking up from reading.

"Your orders" Mustang said, leaning back in his chair.

"There is no way in hell I am leaving the country!" Edward yelled.

"Chief's leaving? For how long?" Havoc asked, tapping out his cigarette in an ashtray.

"Brother!?" Al exclaimed "What's going on? Why are we leaving?"

"And this says I have to teach!?" Ed ranted, causing Fuery to wince slightly.

"Fullmetal? Teach? You've gotta be kidding me" Second Lieutenant Breda said running his hand through his hair.

"Those poor kids" Havoc said shaking his head.

"Fullmetal. Please calm yourself" Mustang said.

"I am calm!" Ed shouted.

"Edward." Hawkeye said sternly and Ed shut up fast. He was smart enough to know never to push the Lieutenant, especially when she used that tone.

"Fullmetal, I can explain all of this in a more private setting if you don't mind" Mustang said standing up and walking over to his own private study.

Ed grumbled as he and his brother followed the Flame Alchemist. Alphonse shut the door behind them and the Colonel stood looking out the window with his hands behind his back while Ed and Al sat down on the couch.

"What is the deal with this mission Mustang?" Ed said.

"There is a school in the nation of England that is in need of an Alchemy teacher" Mustang said.

"So why is Ametris sending me?" Ed questioned.

"They requested an alchemist that is...busy at the moment." Mustang said "So we're sending the young prodigy instead as to hope diplomatic relations don't deteriorate."

"Where is England might I ask?" Alphonse said softly.

"Its far north, past Drachma and across a sea" Mustang said.

"That far!?" Edward exclaimed "Then why the hell do we care about relations with them? They're too far to do anything!"

"The distance doesn't matter Fullmetal. Its the power this nation holds" Mustang said turning slightly to look at the brothers.

"What power?" Ed said, intrigued by the thought of a mysterious power that could potentially be a lead to get his brother's body back.

"Supposedly there is a special ability a select few in this country have that surpass every scientific law we know... it is reported that this country is capable of magic" Mustang said, in a completely even voice while Ed was left with his mouth gaping like a fish.

"Magic?!" Ed and Al exclaimed together.

"Yes. Now the position you will be taking..."Mustang continued while Ed popped up out of his seat.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Ed yelled.

"Fullmetal sit back down." Mustang said.

"No! Magic isn't real! What the hell is this!" Ed roared.

"Brother!" Al said trying to calm his older brother.

"Fullmetal, though I cannot say I have witnessed this first hand, I can say multiple reports have confirmed that these...wizards hold a magical power that seem to ignore the Law of Equivalent Exchange." Mustang said.

"That's impossible dammit!" Ed yelled.

"I can assure you this is one hundred percent true Fullmetal." Mustang said now fully turned and facing Edward and Alphonse.

"What exactly is the mission then?" Alphonse asked while his brother was still trying to wrap his head around the idea of magic.

"Fullmetal will travel to England to teach Alchemy for one year." Mustang said.

"And do you think this...magic...can help us get our original bodies back?" Al asked softly.

"Perhaps...I don't know the limits of this magic or what it is exactly capable of, so I cannot say for certain. But since you and your brother have decided against using a Philosopher's Stone, if you should ever find it,, I see this as the best option for the both of you right now." the Flame Alchemist said.

"But-but-but it's not possible!" Ed yelled, gaining back his voice "And no way in hell am I going to teach some snot nosed brats!"

"Fullmetal. This is a direct order from your superior officer" Mustang said in a commanding voice "You will travel to England and be a respectful and polite representative of our country."

"And if I refuse?" Ed questioned.

"You will be Court-Martialed" Mustang said plainly.

"So I'm being forced to do this!" Ed said, throwing his hands in the air.

"Its only for a year Fullmetal, and you can use the time when you aren't teaching to research the limits of this magic and perhaps even find a way to use it to reach your goal of these past few years" Mustang said.

"Brother...if this can help us get our bodies back without having to use a stone then maybe we should look into it" Al said.

"And Al can join me and research with me?" Ed asked.

"It will be tricky, but I won't separate you two for a whole year." Mustang said "I highly doubt you would agree to this mission or take it seriously if I force you both to stay apart."

"Damn right" Ed muttered, crossing his arms.

"The wizarding school has said they will provide the transportation. A representative will be here in about three days to take you both to the school. August 31st to be exact." Mustang said.

"And we can't take a train or something?" Ed said.

"Its too far for a train. Furthermore, I don't want either of you attracting to much attention." Mustang said.

"Okay" Ed said.

"I also want you both to keep your secret as always" Mustang said "And I will journey to the school to conduct your yearly State Alchemist assessment in October Fullmetal, so you will need to take that day off."

"Fine, fine. I got it. Can we leave now?" Ed said waving the Colonel off.

Mustang rolled his eyes and left the study to return to his desk and Ed and Al did the same, leaving the office and Central Command all together.

The days flew by as Ed and Al waited in Central. Ed and Al walked into Central Command and into Mustang's office to see a weirdly dress man standing there and talking with the Colonel.

"I am sorry to inform you of this Dumbledore, but the Alchemist you requested is not with the military and we do not know his location. However, we have found a suitable replacement." Mustang said then seeing the Elric brothers entering his office.

The man was wearing a ridiculous outfit that looked like a brightly colored purple dress with a weird looking gold design. He was tall and thin, with silver hair and beard so long that they could be tucked into his belt.

"And here he is now" Mustang said "The Fullmetal Alchemist , Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse Elric." he said.

"I can see why you call him Fullmetal with the armor he is wearing." the man named Dumbledore said.

He had a very long and crooked nose that looked as if it had been broken at least twice. His eyes were a brilliant, soul-piercing shade of blue, twinkled with kindness and mischief.

Ed growled, his hands clenching into fists.

"I'M EDWARD YOU OLD MAN! I SWEAR TO TRUTH THE NEXT PERSON TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE IS GOING TO GET IT!" Ed roared as Al tried to reign in his older brother.

"Brother! Calm yourself" he said in a soft voice.

Dumbledore looked shocked for a minute but then started laughing, holding his stomach as he chuckled.

"That was quite interesting Edward, or do you prefer to be called Fullmetal?" he asked, the twinkle still in his eye.

"I don't care if you call me Ed, Edward, Elric, or Fullmetal old man." Ed said, crossing his arms.

"Fullmetal" Mustang said "This man is the Headmaster of the school you will be teaching at for the next year, so try to show you have manners."

"I have manners, I just chose not to use them sometimes" Ed said smirking while the Colonel sighed.

"I am not going to miss you, am I?" he said.

"I'm hurt Colonel" Ed said feigning pain and clutching his heart.

"You will have to admit there will be a lot less paperwork when the Chief is gone" Havoc said.

"I don't create that much paperwork" Ed said.

"You literally just created a mound of paperwork with the bust you did yesterday" Breda said.

"You what!?" Musntag exclaimed.

"I only beat up a couple punks who were trying to take advantage of this young girl" Ed said, waving the Colonel off.

"As I recall I think they were apart of a rather big drug dealing ring here in Central that the military has been trying to get for over five years." Havoc said.

"How was I supposed to know!" Ed exclaimed.

"Edward. I do believe you have other business right now" Hawkeye said.

"Allow me to formally introduce myself" Dumbledore said, looking at Ed and Al.

"I am Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." he said.

"Great" Ed said enthusiastically.

"If I might ask, why does he look so young?" Dumbledore asked Mustang.

"He became a State Alchemist at the age of twelve and has served under me for the past three years." Mustang said.

"You allow people to enter the military at such a young age?" Dumbledore questioned, though his tone was not of accusation but of curiosity.

"There is no age limit for the State Alchemist exam. The difficulty was thought to be enough to keep anyone young away from it, but Fullmetal was a prodigy and a genius and passed the exam with flying colors." Mustang said.

"I see. Well if he was skilled enough to become a State Alchemist, I see no problem letting him teach." Dumbledore said, then turning to Edward and Alphonse.

"Now, the Colonel has informed me of your brother tagging along and I do not have any problem with this." Dumbledore said "And if you are both packed and ready we can leave at once"

"How are we traveling exactly?" Alphonse said then quickly adding a "Umm sir?"

"We will apparate to Hogwarts.

"What is that ?" Alphonse asked.

"I simply can think of a destination and magically teleport us there." Dumbledore said.

"But how does that work?" Ed asked "I mean how does the object take you from one place to another?"

"By magic" Dumbledore said.

Ed groaned as he ran his hand over his face "But it defies all the laws of physics!"

"Fullmetal. You can complain all you want when you get to the school" Mustang said.

"Yes. I do believe we must be going" Dumbledore said "Are you both packed?"

"Yeah, yeah" Ed said lifting his suitcase, that was slightly heavier than usual since he and Al would be gone for a year.

"Only one suitcase? Are you sure you have everything you need?" he asked.

"Let's just get going old man" Ed grumbled and walked towards Dumbledore with Al beside him.

"Now, since you are in fact a muggle..."Dumbledore started to say.

"Woh, woh, woh...wait...what in the world is a muggle?" Edward asked.

"A muggle is a non magical human being." Dumbledore answered "And since your superior officer told me that you are not a wizard I will have to preform some enchantments on you to counteract the anti-muggle charms put around the school."

"Okay..."Edward said slightly suspicious.

Dumbledore took out something that resembled a stick and waved it saying a few weird words. Ed felt a weird feeling on the top of his head, like someone cracked an egg on top of it and he quickly checked to see there was no egg.

"Now simply hold onto my forearm and we will be off." Dumbledore said extending both of his arms which Ed and Al grabbed.

"See ya in a year Chief" Havoc said.

"Try to take care an not loose your temper so much Edward. Alphonse, I'm trusting you to keep your brother in line" Hawkeye said.

Before Ed could retort Dumbledore apparated leaving a slightly shocked Team Mustang, staring at the place the three people were standing only a second ago.

Ed felt like his whole body was being squeezed and stretched all at once, his ports crying out in pain from the feeling. In next second they stood, not i Mustang's office, but in a large grassy field. Edward didn't take in much more than that as he was then hunched over and throwing up the contents of his breakfast as soon as his feet touched the ground again.

"Brother!" Alphonse cried out as his elder brother was heaving with his hands on his knees.

"Don't worry Edward. Most people throw up the first time. I am surprised your brother didn't though" Dumbledore said.

Edward groaned as he stood up and wiped his mouth with the back of his white gloved hand "Could have warned us old man"

"I am sorry for that. If you still feel ill I can show you to the infirmary." Dumbledore said.

"Are you alright brother?" Alphonse asked.

"I'm fine." Ed said waving his worried brother off.

"Now, if you would be so kind as to follow me" Dumbledore said starting to walk towards the giant castle before the two alchemist. Ed and Al looked up at the massive structure and were in awe as they hadn't seen anything in Amestris that was quite that large. The Northern Wall of Briggs was said to be the largest thing in Amestris and was a sight to see.

Ed shook off the shock and grabbed his discarded luggage and ran after the Headmaster.

"How big is this place?" Ed asked looking around at the massive architecture.

Dumbledore chuckled a bit and said "Well I don't know the exact numbers but I would say rather large"

"Thanks for the observation" Ed said sarcastically.

"Now as you will be teaching here do I need to give you and your brother a translation spell?" Dumbledore asked.

"So you don't speak the same language as us?" Alphonse said.

"I put a translation spell on myself before travelling to retrieve you." Dumbledore said.

"Me and Al studied the language and have a basic understanding of it" Edward said "Mustang gave us a few books and I was able to get a good grasp on English"

"Amazing, he said you only had three days to prepare" Dumbledore said.

"It is somewhat similar to what we speak in Amestris, plus I didn't have anything else to do for those few days so I spent most of them studying" Edward said.

"Well then, if you need a translation spell please ask me or any of your fellow teachers." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Sure, sure" Edward said. They continued walking through the castle, going through a few more corridors and ended up at a giant statue of a gargoyle.

"Acid Pops" Dumbledore said and the statue actually moved!

"How did you do that!" Ed exclaimed.

Dumbledore didn't reply, only a slight smile crossed his face as he then started walking up the stairs.

"Headmaster" an elder woman with a long green robe, black hat, and glasses said as they entered the office.

"Now, Minerva and Severus, I am sure you are both curious as to why I asked you here" Dumbledore said sitting at his desk. Ed and Al stood in front of Dumbledore with the woman and man standing beside him. Ed shifted the weight from his real leg to his automail one as he felt three sets of eyes bore into him and his brother.

"I would like to introduce you both to the new Alchemy teacher from Amestris, Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist. And his brother, Alphonse Elric" he said with a sweep of his arm.

"Hello" Al said politely and waving.

"I can see the reason behind the name Fullmetal" McGonagall said.

Ed's eyebrow twitched as he set down his luggage and clenched his fists tight.

"I'M EDWARD ELRIC!" he shouted

McGonagall looked a little taken aback at Edward's explosion.

"Wait...this child is teaching at Hogwarts" a greasy-haired man in black robes said.

"Who are you calling a child!" Ed roared "I'm fifteen Goddammit!"

"Fifteen?" the man questioned, raising an eyebrow and his eyes traveling up and down Edward.

"Yes! I turn sixteen in February!" Ed yelled.

"Why did Amestris send a child to teach Dumbledore? Even more so, why did you bring him here?" the man said, ignoring Edward.

"Who the hell are you both anyway!" Ed yelled, getting fed up with people mistaking him for being younger than he actually was.

"I am Minerva McGonagall, Professor of Transfiguration." the woman said with a stern tone.

"And I am Severus Snape, the Potions Master" the greasy-haired man said.

"To answer your question Severus" Dumbledore said, gaining back control of the conversation "I brought Edward here to teach Alchemy. His brother joined him because they refused to be separated. And I had no problem with letting both of them stay together"

"But Headmaster...he is not even of age" McGonagall said.

"I am fully capable of teaching Alchemy, if that's what you're worried about" Edward said, crossing his arms.

"Really?" Snape said raising an eyebrow.

"Yes" Edward said, rolling his eyes "Didn't you here what I said? But if you can't seem to understand those simple words, here" he said pulling the silver State Alchemist pocket watch out and holding it in the palm of his hand.

"So you do have the watch" Dumbledore said with a slight smile.

"Of course I do, old man. Every State Alchemist is giving this and a name once they pass the examination." Edward said then putting the pocket watch away.

"They allow children to become State Alchemists?" Snape said.

"No, actually there is no age rule. The test is so difficult they thought it would keep anyone young away." Edward said then smirking as he crossed his arms "But they didn't exactly account for an eleven yer old prodigy."

"You were eleven?" McGonagall said, shocked.

"Yes, and I've held my title for almost four years now" Edward said.

"Headmaster, what happened to the man Flamel spoke so highly of?" McGonagall said.

"He was not with the military State Alchemist program. In fact, they have no record of him." Dumbledore said.

Edward narrowed his eyes "Who did you ask for? The Colonel told us he was just busy."

"A man that came highly recommended by a friend who was a skilled Alchemist but recently passed away a few years back. The man Flamel told me was Van Hohenheim"

Ed stiffened at the name and Al gasped.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at their reactions "I take it you both know him?"

"Know him?" Ed said then giving a fake laugh "Please, I wish I had never known the bastard"

"Brother!" Al said.

"What Al? It's true! I know you feel differently but I will be very happy if I never have to lay eyes on that bastard ever again!"

"Brother! I know you don't like him, but-"Al said, as Ed cut him off.

"I don't care Al. That bastard left us! What am I supposed to feel!" he retorted.

"Excuse me, might I ask what in the world is going on?" McGonagall said.

Ed sighed "We know Van Hohenheim."

"That much we gathered" Snape said "But why do you hate him?"

Ed ground his teeth as Al answered "He's our father."

All the wizards gasped as Ed exclaimed "Biological father. And that's all he will ever be to me."

Dumbledore had a small look of confusion on his face "If you are his sons, then why is your last name Elric?" he asked.

"It was our mother's last name. Like I would take that bastard's name after what he did!"

"What he did?" Dumbledore said.

"He left us! Just packed up and left us and our mom! I was five and Al was four and he just left!" Ed yelled.

Dumbledore looked quite shocked at this revelation.

"I was told he was a good, kind hearted man." Dumbledore said.

"Well you heard wrong. He is a no good bastard that abandoned his wife and children!" Ed yelled, breathing heavy after his tirade.

The wizards all had a mix of expressions. McGonagall's looked like one of pity and empathy. Snape's cold expression had lightened a little. But Dumbledore's shown a mixture of understanding and nothing close to pity.

"Our...father...is a touchy subject. Can we please continue with the other conversation?" Al asked politely.

Dumbledore nodded slightly and continued "I believe Mr. Elric is fully capable of teaching here this year."

"Maybe a demonstration of his abilities?" Snape said.

Ed sighed and clapped his hands together, then kneeling down and touching the stone floor. Blue alchemical light sparked around the floor causing Snape and McGonagall to jump back while Dumbledore looked on with wonder.

The light disappeared as a small statue of Dumbledore formed, causing a slight indentation in the stone floor around it.

"How did you do that without a wand?" Snape said.

"It's Alchemy, there is no 'hocus-pocus' nonsense. Its a pure science." Edward said picking up the small statue and tossing it at Snape who caught it and examined it further.

"A science? Do you mean a muggle science?" McGonagall questioned.

Ed sighed "Yes. As I've told him Alchemy is a science that is based on the laws of physics. Ergo, no magic"

Snape looked at Edward, his eyes narrowing "You're a muggle, aren't you?"

"Yes" Edward said, glaring right back at Snape.

McGonagall gasped "Dumbledore!" she exclaimed.

"Now, now Minerva. Edward has been placed under orders to not reveal anything about the wizarding world to those that do know about it in the first place" Dumbeldore said.

"And how do we know he will follow these orders?" Snape countered.

"I will have to or I'll be Court-Martialed." Ed said, crossing his arms "And as much as I would love to not be a dog of the military, I can't quit. Not yet anyways."

"A dog of the military? Is that what they call the State Alchemists?" Snape said.

"That's their nicknames yes. But I prefer mine" Ed said smirking "In Amestris I'm also known as the 'Hero of the People' "

"And how did you come by that?" Snape said.

"Oh it was on sale at a lovely little store in Central" Ed said clasping his hands together in a mocking fashion then turning into an angry expression "What do you think? I went around the country and busted up crime rings, or exposed corrupted officials. I also would go and fix any damage done to people's homes and businesses sometimes."

"As Edward is a State Alchemist and the son of Van Hohenheim, I see him as fully qualified to teach at Hogwarts and wanted you both to help him as the year progresses." Dumbledore said to MvGonagall and Snape.

"Excuse me, umm...Mr. Dumbledore?" Al said "I was wondering about if we could research while we are here?"

"What would you like to research?" Dumbledore said, his tone was filled more with curiosity than suspicion.

"Me and my brother are always researching, trying to further our Alchemy. And once we heard about magic we were interested in looking into its properties and uses." Al said.

"You are both free to use the Hogwarts library at any time." Dumbledore said "Now, seeing as it is getting late you both should probably be off to your rooms."

"Late? We left early this morning" Edward said.

"But the time difference between here and Amestris is more than a few hours, so it is late in the evening if I am not mistaken" Dumbledore said.

"I can take them." McGonagall said walking past the brothers.

"Before I forget, here is your schedule. Classes start tomorrow." Dumbledore said holding out a piece of paper to Ed who took it and stuffed it in his red coat's pocket.

"Alright, alright" he said turning to pick up his suitcase and follow McGonagall out of the office. They moved through the corridors and up about a dozen stairs. The first time a staircase moved it caused Ed to grab on for dear life and Al to almost trip down the stairs.

"Could have warned us the stairs freaking move!" Ed cried out.

"I'm sorry about that" McGonagall said "But don't worry, your room is on this floor."

Ed grumbled somethign about wizards and their god damn magic before continuing to follow McGonagall through the castle. She stopped at a portrait of a smiling young girl playing the piano. The girl looked to be about twelve and had blonde curly hair that was pinned up. She was wearing a simple light blue dress. The shocking thing was, she was actually moving and playing the piano she was sitting at!

"Here we are" she said.

"Um...that's a portrait...and its...MOVING!" Edward said seeing the girl move.

"I'm Elizabeth. Nice to meet you" she said standing up and curtsying.

"You can set up a password with her and change it whenever you wish." McGonagall said.

"Um...how about... Three-Ten" Edward said, feeling his silver pocket watch get a little heavier as he mentioned the date his and his brother's lives changed forever.

Elizabeth smiled and the portrait swung open.

"I'll leave you then. Students will be arriving later on in the evening, and all teachers are expected to attend the feast" she said.

"Okay" Ed said stepping into the room and Al following behind him.

There was a simple bed in the corner and a large desk. There was also a window on the left side of the room overlooking the grounds and the lake.

"Oh, there is only one bed since we were not expecting two of you." McGonagall said as she looking into the room. She pulled out her wand and flicked her wrist, creating another bed on the opposite side of the room.

"Oh, thanks" Edward said. He hadn't been worried about it since Al couldn't sleep, but the reminder of it struck a cord within him.

"I will see you tomorrow. Edward, Alphonse, have a nice evening" she said and the portrait swung shut behind her.

Ed slung his suitcase onto the bed closest to him and sat down, pulling out his pocket watch and opening it. The carving Don't forget 3. Oct. 11 stared back at him as he sighed.

"Are you okay Al?" Ed asked.

"What do you mean brother?" Alphonse asked.

"I mean with...all this... do you really think magic can hold the key?" Edward asked.

"I believe there is a way. Be it in Alchemy, magic, or something else. I know we will find a way to get our bodies back" Al said.

"Alright." Ed said.

"Since you aren't really tired...can...can you.." Alphonse said looking at the ground.

"Don't worry Al, I'll stay up with you" Edward said smiling at his brother.

Al nodded and he began unpacking the suitcase while Ed stretched his automail arm and leg.
