Chapter 1

    Alphonse let out a sigh, as he walk over to the waiting lounge as he wasn't Allowed to attend the meeting with his brother because he was a ‘civilian’. At times he wish that Ed wasn't a state Alchemist but he couldn't do anything about it this was the path that he chose to help his brother on the journey to find the philosopher's stone to restore their bodies. As he took a seat Alphonse looked around to find something to do or at least read until his eyes land on something, it was an owl was tapping on the glass trying to get his attention, the owl stop tapping as it seem that it got Alphonse attention as he made his way over to it.



As he opened the window  to let the owl in as he watch the owl for a few seconds relaxing  as he figured out that the thing was tame...somewhat.


~Alphonse Elric at Central headquarters in Amestris~


Al was suspicious. How the hell did these people know exactly where he was? As he began to read the letter.


“Dear Alphonse Elric” ,We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress


Alphonse wasn’t to sure about this because someone could be pranking him so he decided to reply back to make sure this was real before the meeting let out.


"To whom it may concern,


Could someone please send a representative to Central headquarters in Amestris and explain the letter?


While I was willing to accept TAME owls, the fact that you knew where I was is a bit disturbing. It would ease some of the issues I have over the fact that you could pinpoint where I was  precisely at the time the letter arrived.


Sincerely, Alphonse Elric.”


The owl in the lounge took the letter with patience. It had been trained to carry the letters, as it been three days a woman came to Central headquarters looking for Alphonse Elric as a soldier pointed to young Alphonse she was surprised to see a suit of armor sitting down reading a book she walk up to Alphonse.  He looks up to see  her she reminded him of his teacher but she didn't seem nearly as bad.


"May I help you ma'am?" asked Alphonse.


"Are you Alphonse."


"That would be me"


"My name is Professor McGonagall.I teach at a school in Scotland," Professor McGonagall said. "I help young people like you Alphonse learn to control their special abilities there. I would like to speak to your legal guardian about enrolling you." as Professor McGonagall's eyes were on Alphonse.

"I'm sorry to tell you Professor McGonagall I don't have any parents." Alphonse said looking down, Professor McGonagall. She pressed her lips more tightly together. "I thought there was indeed an adult in your household Alphonse."


Alphonse thought for a Moment then look up at Professor McGonagall "Well, I guess there's Granny Pinako." Professor McGonagall visibly relaxed. "Very well. I would like to talk to this Granny Pinako." Alphonse got up from his seat and said "Granny Pinako lives out in a village called Risembool. It may take us a while to get there and I must let my brother know that I'm leaving but he's not, out of the meeting yet I could pass a message to other soldier so they can give  him the message so he doesn't have to worry so much."


Alphonse POV


Professor McGonagall and I went to Risembool, and Professor McGonagall explained that she taught at a magic school that she wanted me to attend.


When we arrived at Risembool, we went to the Rockbells', I sat on the living room couch with Granny Pinako as Professor McGonagall gave us a demonstration. She turned herself into a cat, I was amazed as she turn back and then transforming the coffee table into a sheep "Whoa." I reached my hand out toward the animal, and pet it. "How did you do that?"  I said, Professor McGonagall smiled at me and said "Magic. That was an example of transfiguration, the subject I teach at the school."

It didn't take long as I made my decision as I accepted Professor McGonagall offer as Granny Pinako told me that I was making the right choice and don't worry about Ed she'll let him know. As Professor McGonagall told me that I might need a magical guardian on the other hand, couldn't be resolved as easily. Fortunately I wouldn't need one until later. I was like a little kid in a candy store while we were in Diagon Alley. McGonagall took me to into Gringotts Wizarding Bank I didn't looked at the goblins oddly. In fact, I was downright cheerful when I saw them.


Once I had my account set up (Hogwarts automatically gives orphans a thousand galleon account to start with) we went shopping. But Professor McGonagall had to pull me away from the second hand bookshop. Much to her amusement, that I had found several advanced transfiguration books at a cheap price. Including a small book about Animagi.


It took less time than she would have thought leading me around the alley. I held some interest in the apothecary, little interest in the Quidditch supplies, and no interest in the herbology shops.


Finally we reached Ollivanders.


She watched with great interest how I reacted. As usual, Ollivander appears without warning from close by I instinctively went into a defensive stance the second I realized he was there. I calmed down once I realized he wasn't going to attack.


Third person POV

Alphonse went through hundreds of wands. with no luck until Ollivander spoke  up “‘…I know just the wand for you, Alphonse Elric.’

‘You do?’ Al said in surprise. Ollivander nodded once, retreated back to his shelves and promptly pulled another box off without so much as even needing to double check the label. When he opened it before Alphonse, he bore a simply cut wand with a reddish tint to the wood, except for in the handle where an embossed circle was slightly more faded than the rest of the instrument.

‘Ash and Phoenix feather, twelve-and-a-half inches, broad yet delicate.’

Alphonse hesitated to take the wand at first but grabbed it immediately after seeing the eager expression on Ollivander’s face. At first nothing happened once again, however, just as the disappointed younger Elric was about to put the wand back in its box, it began to do something…

Ollivander took it from Alphonse and looked it over.

‘Ah yes…that was to be expected, for after all, you are his son' Alphonse was confused when Ollivander said that ‘What do you mean his son and what happened?’ Al asked eagerly. Ollivander showed him the addition Alphonse’s touch made to the wand’s original design; dark, burn-like shading at the top of the handle, topped with tiny scratch-like indentions into the wood.

‘It is not a snake, like your father Van Hohenheim wands was…however I cannot begin to imagine what exactly it represents.’


Alphonse was shocked at Ollivander knew his dad but did not ask anymore questions as McGonagall paid for his wand and told him bluntly "You may have one pet. Owls, cats and toads are the acceptable animals...though some people are allowed to bring rats or mice." It was kinda hard to see or read Alphonse facial expression as his armor body won't allowed to show any of it  but McGonagall had a feeling that he wasn't going to buy rats or mice she was silently relieved.


(And the reason was quite funny really. For every ten rats that entered the castle as pets, four usually went missing before Christmas. Most of the students usually blamed Mrs. Norris. She didn't feel the need to correct that misconception.)


As they reach a the pet store Alphonse was looking at all the animals and making a strange look on his armor face as he looked through the kittens but one animal got his attention it was beautiful a little barn owl who was looking at him that remind him of Ed so he decided to buy it. 'Two galleons for the barn owl.'


As he walked out of the shop with his new pet owl in its cage he was thinking about a name for him "hm what do you think, about the name Nova." Alphonse said to his owl who was glaring at him "Nova mean's a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness." Nova flap his wings excitedly liking his new name Alphonse thought to himself "Smart bird." Since he was stuck in the Leaky Cauldron until the day the train left, with someone watching over him. It was fairly boring, until August came around. That was the day he met the most interesting person around. And his name was Harry.


"Hello I'm Alphonse Elric and this is Nova." he pointed at his owl who was sitting on his shoulder.  he held out his hand to harry to shake it, "I'm Harry and this is Hagrid."


"Cool. You guys heading for your supplies mind if I help? it's rather boring waiting until the school term starts? Alphonse got up from his seat and walk over to Harry who wasn't afraid of him because of his armor and his size Harry nodded as Alphonse took Harry on a grand tour of the alley. Hagrid was more than happy to let him show Harry around. He was busy recovering from the ride on the Gringotts carts.


Since Harry definitely had deeper pockets than he did, Al showed him the best places to buy his school things. He had been there long enough to pick up a few things.


Harry walked out of that alley with an Auror class trunk with multiple compartments, enough books to fill half the library in the trunk, and an owl courtesy of Hagrid. Once Al had learned that Harry's birthday had been the day before, he promptly introduced him into the world of alchemy. He was hooked.)


Time went by and Alphonse was bored and worry for his brother and he was thinking of writing a letter to him, once he got to the school but for now he pull out one of his books on the history of alchemy that he had discovered in the second hand book shop. It was their only copy. Before he could read it he spotted Harry and waved to the boy. Harry brightened up immediately and headed straight for him. Alphonse had helped him put his trunk up before they decided to catch up on what had happened.


Harry actually fit in perfectly with Alphonse beside the fact that he was four years older than him Harry didn't care, Al was as protective of the boy as Ed was protective of him back home and Al felt a kindred spirit in Harry.


Halfway into the ride, a red haired boy popped in.


"Mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is full," he claimed. Alphonse and Harry said at the same time "not at all."  and It wasn't long before the boys were pigging out on wizard candy. Alphonse look at jelly beans "They mean every flavor," he said, as he saw ron was gagging as Harry laugh at him as they experimented with the beans.


A girl popped in asking about a toad.


"I think there's an advanced spell that can summon things. Perhaps the upperclassmen know it?" suggested Alphonse "Of course! The summoning charm! I'm sure the Prefects know it!" she said excitedly.


She left after closing the door quietly.


Alphonse was reading one of his books while Ron and Harry were busy playing poker, when the door opened for a third time. The boy in the door was pale blond, arrogant, and it remind him about the colonel Mustang simply by being there. The goons on either side of the boy didn't look too bright at all. " can we help you." Alphonse reply without taking his eyes off  his book The pale blond lifted an eyebrow at Alphonse and at the game Ron and Harry playing in the center of the makeshift table was a small pile of every flavored beans. Harry had the biggest pile, Ron was way behind.


"They've been saying on the train that Harry Potter is arriving to Hogwarts."


Harry winced.

Alphonse notice this and looked at Harry "and I don't understand if he's here or not it doesn’t matter to me?" Al ask back the blonde and trying not to be rude to Harry, but Harry smiled at Alphonse  knowing he won't treat him as a celebrity or anyone famous but  himself a normal kid."Clearly you don't know who you are talking to, mudblood. Everyone in our world knows who he is."


"Who is he then?" asked Al while not looking at the blonde but at his book "He's the Boy-who-lived, the only known survivor of the killing curse and the one who took out Voldemort."


"And?" said Alphonse The pale blond gave him an odd look.


"And he's the most famous underage wizard alive right now."


"I'm sorry, but what exactly is your point?" said Alphonse while closing his book. Apparently the boy had no reply to that. He had never met people who not only didn't know who Harry Potter was, but honestly could care less.


"Who are you anyway?" demanded Al.


"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy," said the blond pompously.


"well I'm Alphonse Elric and this is Harry and Ron."


"Elric?"


"What of it?" said AL almost growling."You aren't related to Hohenhiem of Light are you?" said Draco in shock.


"Hohenhiem was my dad's name, why?"


"You don't know? Hohenhiem of Light is renowned among potion-makers for discovering most of the uses for Chimera blood! And he discovered most of the valuable animals for potions!"


"What?"


Clearly the boy didn't know much about his own Father "I can't believe you didn't know." "My dad left me and my brother when we were little. I haven't seen him since, not even for our mother's funeral," said AL looking down Luckily for the boys, Draco left quickly after that. Of course he left with more questions than answers.


Namely why his godfather never mentioned that Hohenhiem's son were on board. Al was bored. Harry was nervous at first until Al started cracking jokes.


On the boat ride to the castle, Al made a new friend in a boy named Neville. Neville had a love for plants that he couldn't express because of his fear. He was terrified of his own grandmother. Al had chuckled at that and told Neville of their surrogate granny...who was known to throw wrenches at him and his brother when they messed up the laundry.


That had shocked the other person on the boat, the girl who had entered the cabin earlier. Her name was Hermione.


"Granny Pinako means well she took me and my brother in when our mom died."


They entered the hall, and most of the eleven year old children were scared out of their wits or excited. Alphonse was nervous being the only 14 year old that is a first-year as he gave his full attention when McGonagall said "When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted." before he prepared to help Harry.  The green eyed boy had caught his attention, and as far as he was concerned he was a part of the family.

One by one they sat on the stool to be sorted.

"Elric, Alphonse!"

everyone quiet down as they see a suit of armor making its way to the Sorting Hat has he set down on the stool as Professor McGonagall put the hat on Alphonse head "Hmmm… This one is difficult…" A small voice in his head made Al jump. "You've got the friendliness of a Hufflepuff, the smarts of a Ravenclaw, and loyal, hardworking and  bravery of a Gryffindor… I'd say you should go in…"


"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat screamed to the hall. The Gryffindor table cheered and clapped as Al took a seat next to Ron and Hermione. Things went smoothly after that until...


"Potter, Harry!"


Brave, loyal, cunning, and intelligent. You would fit into any house here! Which house would you like to go in? I am having a rather difficult time placing you.


Harry's mind brought forth the image of Alphonse the armor wearing boy who acted like the older brother he had always wanted but never had.


Oh ho! So you have already formed a bond with this one In that case. "GRYFFINDOR!"


The roar was deafening as Harry timidly sat next to Al and a pair of twins were doing the happy dance.

Al and Harry ended up right next to each other. Harry had a silly little grin when he realized this and soon fell asleep in minutes. But for Al he couldn't sleep the only thing he could do is to sit on his bed.


Alphonse POV

I let out a sigh as I picked up a picture of me and Brother  off my nightstand. "I sure wish you were here."


I set the picture down and got out a quill, some ink, and some parchment.


Dear Brother,

I was afraid that I might not fit in here at Hogwarts. Because of my body but I was wrong I made some friends and I hope you are not to mad at me for leaving and not telling you about it. I found something out they teach Alchemy here but It seems I'm the only one who cares about alchemy too. Although alchemy is offered as an elective for the older students, students here don't care enough about science to actually sign up for it.


Alchemy here seems different than what we studied together – even more so than how I thought it might be. I was left confused by just doing research in the library. I'll have to ask Professor Dumbledore – Hogwarts' alchemy expert – to help me understand it. I'll have to ask him to confirm that wizarding alchemy is truly different than Amestrian alchemy too.


If Professor Dumbledore confirms my suspicions about wizarding alchemy, I may be starting my experiments soon. And I met this boy his, name is Harry Potter I think he see me as his big brother and I'm also showing, him Alchemy if I can get him to understand Alchemy maybe I get the other students to understand more about science by the time I start. I know at you'll support me at least, won't you, Brother?


Your younger brother,


Al


I folded the letter up neatly and put it in an envelope, smiling briefly at the picture on my nightstand. I quickly wrote a letter to the Rockbells as well before walking over to Nova tying the letters to his legs and opening the window so Nova could fly off to Risembool and Central.
