Of wizards and Alchemy

I own nothing related to FMA or Harry Potter.

Chapter 2-

---------------------------------- In the great hall ---------------------------------

(teacher pov)

The teachers were all talking to each other when the door opened.A man with black hair and cool coal eyes walked in with a smaller boy with golden hair and hazy honey eyes.

"Who is that Minerva?"Pomona Sprout asked. Minerva glanced at the two. "That is the new alchemy teacher General Roy Mustang and his teacher's aid Major Edward Elric." Minerva replied ingoring the odd looks she and the new Professors were getting.

"Awwwww the younger one is trembling." Sinistra tsked. "The boy is probaly shy." Snape said nonchantly. The two got up to the table.

"Good evening Minerva...where is the headmaster?" Roy greeted. "Good evening to you too Roy. Albus had to pay a visit to the minister. Good evening Edward."Minerva returned. Edward eeped and hid behind Roy.

Roy and Minerva laughed. Then Roy and Edward took there seats next to snape and the new muggle studies teacher Lupin. Roy and Snape hit it off pretty well seeing as they both hated teaching dunderheads.

"So Edward I hear you're only taking DADA,Potions, and muggle studies. Why is that?" Lupin asked the shy boy. Edward stared down at the table when he spoke. "I not taking many classes because I have classes to teach with Roy."Edward responded. "But why not something like transfiguration or charms or care of magical creatures." Lupin pressed.

"Because the way you can do anything with the expection of restoring a life with the flick of a wand disturbs me. I was born and raised to belive that humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obatain something of equal value must be lost. That is the law of Equivalent Exchange and every person who call themselves an Alchemist must follow it." Edward replied.

"You sound like you've had a run in with that law." Professor Vector commented. Edward stiffened. He regreted bringing this up now.

"Tell them they'll just end up figuring it out anyways." Roy told Edward. Edward swallowed hard before starting.

He told them everything. The transmutation, his brother's body going though the gate, Nina, Barry the chopper, Ishbal, Martel, Hughes, the homiculus, his mother, his father's return, Dante, and the philsopher's stone.

Silence

"That is horrible. I'm sorry about you mother and father." Minerva said finally. The other professors said things along the same lines of that. " Thank you. I only wish they could here that. But they can't." Edward said bitterly.

The Professors shared glances. He was worse than Harry. Was this a sign and foretelling of what would happen to Harry? That he would be tired, bitter, and still be trying to handle things that were beyond his control. Would be as unhappy as Edward was even though he was so loved by so many people? Would he die inside the way Edward has as such a ripe and tender age? Had they made a terrible mistake?

"Excuse me everyone but I think I will retire for the night." Edward said getting up from the table. Once he was clear of the doors he made a run for his chambers.

"You'll have to excuse me to i'm afraid. I have a very upset kitten to tend to." Roy said and with that he was gone. Not much later the other professors began to turn in for the night each having much to think about.

---------------------------------- With Ed and Roy ------------------------------------

"Edward?" Roy called out as soon as he got though the door. He heard crying coming from the bedroom so he headed that way. He opened the door to find Edward on the bed crying.

"Kitten why do you do this. You need to let someone take care of once and awhile. You can't do everything on your own. even more so because of you getting sick so often." Roy lectured in concern.

A half-sobbed "I'm sorry" was his reply. "i don't you you to say sorry. I just want you to let me be concerned and worried about you with out you feeling guitly about it. Okay?"Roy sighed. At least this time he got a nod.

"Good we'll talk more about this some other time now let get you ready and then we'll go to bed. Roy slept well.
