Chapter Two: Equivilant Exchange
"I don't see why. I've been out of public light for a century at least and don't really want to deal with them again. No, they'll figure it out on their own with minimal difficulty. I can't tell them everything after all."
"You still haven't told me how you want me to repay you and your wife for the help you gave us. And don't give me that weak excuse about watching to see if my arm and leg work fine or that my brother needs post-op rest."
Nicolas smiled and said with a cheery lilt, "Well I suppose it's about time I asked you then. I want to teach you all I can about magical alchemy. I know you don't believe that magic is real but trust me, I'll show you some convincing techniques."
"You're right about me not believing in magic but what about Al?" Ed asked suspiciously, "We stick togeather you see and I won't take training from you if you ignore my brother." 'We won't push each other away after all we've been through.'
"My wife Perenelle is an expert Healer Alchemist. Alphonse has been quite interested in the technique that gave him new eyes I'm sure you heard. I would train you and she would be able to train Alphonse. Now would you like to see magic tied into Alchemy?"
Ed smirked and said, "You've got ten minutes to convince me Old Man."
Nicolas smiled and pulled out a thin stick about ten inches long in length. Next he went over to a cupboard and removed a stein filled with silvery-white sand. He then drew a transmutation circle with the stick, adding strange symbols Ed had never seen on the edges and poured the sand into the center. Finally he placed his hands on the edge of the circle and in a flash of blue light a glass goblet appeared. "You enjoy orange juice, isn't that right Edward?"
"Yeah, that's true," he replied and watched as Nicolas reached to the middle of the breakfast table and pulled the jug of orange juice towards him. He then filled the glass to the brim and handed it to Ed. "Drink for as long as you'll like. The challice won't empty for another year."
Ed humphed in disbelief and quickly grabed the glass and began to gulp it down. With a satisfied smirk he slammed it down on the table and was on the verge of gloating when his eye caught the rim of the glass. It hadn't dropped an inch. "That's-what the-how did-How is that possible!? I know I just drank it all down!"
"By combining magic with alchemy the glass creates juice over and over again. The alchemy acts the same as natural regeneration in the human body. Of course more things can be done besides self filling goblets."
Ed was more than slightly interested now, "What type of energy did you use to create the constant flow of regeneration?"
"Magic. It is a very mysterious force in this world but I like to equate it to spirit energy. The stronger your spirit is in most cases equal to the strength of your magic."
Ed was about to ask another question but was interrupted by the appearance of his younger brother. "Good morning Ed." he said with a yawn as he blinked a few times to get some feeling into his eyes. Alphonse's eyes were the exact same color as before the gate took them but according to Al they acted different. Almost like he could see energy fields or something that Ed and the Flamel's couldn't. Perenelle called it 'mage sight.'
"That goblet is glowing white, Ed."
"Yeah, this old timer here put some spirit energy into it whil he transmutated it. Apperentally it has a years worth of orange juce in it."
"So you believe what they're saying about this magic stuff is real?" Al asked with a grin, "You took faster to accept it than I thought you would. I thought I'd have to wait for at least another month before learning things from Mrs. Flamel."
"Hey what do you mean by that?" Ed asked with a glare, "I don't appreciate being kept out of the loop you know."
"Sorry, Ed. But after that goop turned into new eyes for me how could I not believe that there was something magical about it?"
"Ugh, this is so typical. Where the heck do you get all your damn optimism from Al!? It certainly doesn't fall on you from the sky!" Ed demanded as he playfully shook his fist at his brother.
With a cheery grin Alphonse replied, "I need to be optimistic to even out your endless mopeing, oh esteemed older brother. We're eachother's equivilant exchange after all."
Nicolas burst into a deep belly laugh while from the doorway of the kitchen Perenelle stood giggling, "You boys are alright. Finish up your breakfast then, today you two will start your lessons and we'll have to move into the library."
"Huh. A private library. Hope it has a good awe factor or I'll be disappointed Mr. Flamel." Ed said as he finally finished up his breakfast and took a sip from the orange juice goblet. The magic alchemist just smiled and led the two brothers down a lantern-lit hallway.
Nicolas reached a set of double doors and paused for dramatic tension to build befor with a playful exuberance only acomplished by a childish 600+ old man he flung open the doors and said, "Behold the Flamel House Library. Today's free study day."
The view was enough to cause both brother's jaws to drop. The library was huge! Nearly half the size of the Main Library in Central. "Alphonse..."
"Yeah, Edward?"
"...I think I'm going to like being an apprentince again..."

Chapter Two: Equivilant Exchange
THE DAILY PROPHET
June 1, 1975
MYSTERIOUS MAGICAL MISHAPS!
Story Exclusive by Serena Skeeter
Only a week ago things where fine in the magical world. Students from Hogwarts were winding down to enjoy a relaxing summer but something strange has been happening. It was first noticed by Professor Minerva McGonagal, the Head of Gryffindor and Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts, "I was demenstrating to the fifth years what they would be learning next year by transfiguring a goblet into a horse but the horse turned out to be only five inches tall, the same size as the goblet. I must say it had me baffeled. I tried several other times but I can't seem to transfigurate anything into something bigger than the object it transformed from."
In the school of Drumstrang a similar problem was noted by Professor Dimitri Ponomaryóv, the Conjuring professor, "Conjuring is a simple magic really, you transform air into objects. But last week I haven't been getting many results conjuring furnature and the clothing I conjured actually was another teacher's clothing summoned to me. It is completely baffling. Almost as if conjuring cannot work properly."
No one knows WHY any of this is happening, but if you the reader has any ideas simply contact your nearest Ministry Official and they promise to give you mention when this problem has been solved.
"You're going to tell them about Equivilant Exchange aren't you?" Ed asked as he read the newspaper article, knowing Nicolas Flamel was sitting two chairs beside him.June 1, 1975
