Chapter Three: Unwanted Interruption
The summer with the Flamel's were the most interesting the Elric brothers had in a long while. Learning magical alchemy had been more complicated than Edward had first assumed as was healing alchemy for Alphonse. The first trouble the two had run into was the fact that they didn't have magic wands. According to Nicolas Flamel the magical object was needed and so he called a wandcrafter named Strom Gruenewald who had a little-known wand shop in Germany. Finding the right wand for Edward had been especially amusing.
His first try had ended up catching the room on fire, next all the glass in the room shattered, and more destruction followed in his tryouts.
Ed had gone threw at least a dozen different wands when Mr. Gruenewald finally shoved one into Ed's hand, saying in amusement, "Bonzai wood, five and three quarters inches, dragon heartstring from a Peruvian Vipertooth, excellent work for high power in spells."
With a little flick a burst of electric blue light had erupted from the end of the wand and a sapling had sprung up from Nicolas Flamel's wooden floor.
"I think you've found a matching wand. Don't lose it, it's an extreamly powerful wand even though it is very small."
"Whose wand are you calling so small it can be mistaken for a piece of chalk!?"
"Please calm down, Ed. I don't think he ment that as an insult," Al said, attempting to pacify his older brother into a less vicious mood.
Slowly and relunctantly Ed finally did calm down but proceeded to glare at Mr. Gruenewald while Al got his own wand. Alphonse's wand 'disasters' wern't nearly as...explosive as his brother's had been but he did accidently liquify the walls and erased all the colors from the room. Finally Mr. Gruenewald handed him a smallish wand, saying, "Oak wood, seven and three tenth's inches with a unicorn foal hair core, excellent wand for delacate and complicated spell work."
With a simple flick of his wrist a prism flow of colored lights rushed from it's tip and the beautiful sound of a brook in a forest filled the air. "Perfect! Though I really am surprised, young Master Elric. Only a person with the most peaceful disposition could even use such a wand. It's the way the unicorn hair reacts to negative energy you see."
"Then I'm not surprised at all," Ed said with a laugh, "Not even a little girl could be as peaceful as Alphonse."
After that it was pretty much smooth sailing. The Elrics found themselves really liking and opening up to the Flamels. The older couple were very energetic, positive and caring and happily acted the part of substatute grandparents when they wern't training Ed and Al. Their home was fairly small considering the library, reasearch areas, labratory and greenhouse. There were only two bedrooms, one of which the two brothers easily shared, a kitchen/dining room, and an empty room where duels could be easily held with plenty of room for drawing runes and transmutation circles.
It was also the point of entry for people to Apperate into.
It was close to the end of July when the 'situation' occured. Edward and Alphonse were dueling, combining their usual physical with magical and alchemy. Looking at them you could easily mistake them for twins. Both had their long hair pulled into a braid, both wore black clothes with white gloves (though Al had transmutation circles drawn on them) and each was wearing a flamel-embellished cloak, Alphonse's was green and Edward's was in his usual red.
Of course with the Elrics nothing was done half heartedly and so when Albus Dumbledore Apperated into the room he was more than a little surprised to see two young teens battling it out by wandlessly warping the stone and wooden floor into weapons while simutaniously blasting each other with what looked like typical first year level jinxes.
"Better surrender before you get hurt, Ed. You know you've never beaten me."
"HA! That's because you couldn't ever get tired you cheat! Besides I've got experiance on my side!"
Alphonse just laughed and transmuted a wooden replica of himself before slamming his hands on the 'statue', engulfing it in a blue light before he and the replica attacked, "Let's see if you can handle two-on-one then, brother!"
With a clap Ed transformed his methril arm into a scythe-shaped blade in order to block the wooden puppet's physical attack. The real Al let out a shout of horror and surprise when it was chopped in half at the waist, "B-brother! Look what you did to it! That's not very funny!"
"Sorry, I keep forgetting this methril makes blades sharper than my old automail."
"You're lucky my soul can't get hurt in those things or I'd be in a lot of pain right now."
"I said I was sorry!" Ed growled in frustraition.
Alphonse laughed, "I know. I was just playing, besides," he rushed his distracted older brother and knocked him off his feet, "I just wanted to win."
"Excuse me my boys but is Nicolas in?" The two were startled to find a person in the room with them and even more surprised to see the figure of Albus. He was looking at the two brothers with a grandfatherly type of expression and it immediately annoyed Ed. Nobody called Edward Elric 'my boy', at least Nicolas called him eather Edward or young one (it didn't bother him after he found out compared to Flamel's everyone was called 'young one').
"Who the hell are you?" Edward rudly asked, provoking Alphonse to jab him slightly.
"Sorry for my brother's attitude sir. May I ask who you are before calling for Mr. Flamel?"
"Certainly, my boy. I am Professor Albus Dumbledore and I'm an old friend of Nicolas'."
"I'll go get him then. Be nice while I'm gone, Ed." Al cautioned before rushing off to find the eccentric alchemist.
Ed just huffed and turned his metallic gaze towards Dumbledore before saying, "Dumbledore is an English name. What are you doing in Germany?"
Dumbledore laughed and said, "My boy, we are not in Germany, we are in England. Just south of London in fact."
Ed flushed and hazily remembered when he and Alphonse appeared Nicolas had been speaking to them in English. "What are you doing here then?"
"I just want to discuss a few things with an old friend."
The door to the duel room burst open and Nicolas stood there, beaming with Perenelle and Alphonse at his side, "Albus! What a wonderful day to see you! I see you've already met my young apprentince, Edward Elric, and his brother Alphonse, who is Perenelle's apprentince. How have your independent studies been going since I've seen you last?"
"Quite well, actually considering the Voldemort problem that has been rising." Dumbledore said with a nod, "Yes, I believe there were five attacks last week in fact. It seems Voldemort enjoys attacking wizards living closely to heavily muggle-populated areas."
Nicolas rose an eyebrow and said, "Edward and Alphonse are not citizens of England and therefore do not have any obligations to go to Hogwarts. Really Albus, you should know that beating around the bush does not work with me."
The Elric brother's eyes widened in surprise. Why would this person want them to go to a pig blemish place? Dumbledore sighed and said, "Yes, yes I apologize, Nicolas. However my first reason for this visit is to ask for help re-warding Hogwarts before the beginning of next term. They may have faded a bit, causing these strange magical accidents to happen."
Ed snorted and said, "It's not the wards, old man. It's just the Laws of Magic are quickly being replaced by the Laws of Equivilant Exchange. Just rewrite your books and stop bothering to turn objects into living creatures and vice versa. That's not equivilant and neither is the changing of the atomic mass of an object. You cannot make ten kilos of flour out of one kilo of grain."
Nicolas just slapped his forehead and muttered, "Edward, thanks to your eliquent outburst he's going to do everything to get you in Hogwarts until graduation you know. Unless...how old are you again? I don't think the subject came up."
"I'm twenty." Ed said mentally daring the old Dumbledore to say something about his less than adult stature.
"I'm fourteen," Alphonse said with smile, "Physically and mentally anyway...but my soul is nineteen."
"See, there you go Albus, they're too old to go to Hogwarts as students. Maybe after they've had their fill of apprentincing they could teach there but until then, they have no reason to be within the walls of Hogwarts."
Albus smiled and said, "Why don't check their age with a chronos charm? I'd really like a chance to make sure."
Nicolas looked at his young apprentance and nodded with noticable restraint, "Very well."
Albus cast the spell and seperate from time and space, The Gate laughed and just...tweaked the Elric Brother's bodies a bit. Above Al a number fifteen flashed and above Ed was a number sixteen.
Nicolas sighed. He knew his ex-apprentice's mind very well. If Nicolas fought for Edward and Alphonse the boys would never be able to make it in the world do to Albus's various influences. He would have to send the boys to Hogwarts to deal with whatever inane plot Dumbledore set up. Besides, Nicolas was positive that the Elric's could deal with anything Dumbledore could conjure up. Besides a little divergant might give Edward insentitive to keep his mouth shut around strangers...
