Chapter Four Point Two: Diagon Meetings
It was quite a sight to see for the manager of Florish and Blotts to watch the two teenage 'punks' with long hair scouring his bookshelves while looking over every tome for every advanced class in of Hogwarts from years Five threw Seven.
"Look at this book Ed! It has fifty chapters on how iron effects magic!" Al said, handing a thick book bound in actual iron casing to his amused older brother.
"This one has thirteen chapters on how the number thirteen is used to make a spell more poweful," Ed said with a chuckle, "Maybe I should get it for Arithmacy class..."
"This is so exciting, Ed! Look a book about magical cats! Mostly it talks about kneazles and nundus..." Al gushed as he shoved a relativelly thin book under Ed's face, "Can I get a cat? The list says I can bring one if I have one!"
Ed groaned and said, "Fine. You can get a cat, but it better not have long fur or a nasty attitude or you will have to take it back!"
The squeal of delight from Al was enough to make more than one passerby assume he was a girl. He latched onto Ed in a tight hug and joyfully exclaimed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you brother! This makes me happier than you can even imagine!"
"I can guess...Listen, you get the cat while we get our apprentinceship supplies. I need to find a place that sells enchanted crystals and a book called Kpachuiu C."
The owner of the bookstore began to cough, sputter and generally make a ruckus, causing both brothers look up at him in concern, "Are you alright sir?" Al questioned.
The man looked to his left and right before leaning in and hissing, "That book is currently housed in a store in Knockturn Alley called The Ink Pot. You shouldn't go after it though. That book has been enchanted by Nicolas Flamel himself to ensure no one but a true alchemist could touch it!"
Ed laughed and said, "Draw a map to that bookshop then strorekeeper! I believe I'm the sort that book is for!"
"Brother, I need to get my cat and things for my healing potions. I'll meet you soon at the ice cream parlour, okay?" Al said with an excited smile, thinking fond thoughts of the cat he would soon have.
"Alright Al. Don't talk to anyone suspicious!" Ed shouted warningly as Al paid for his books and rushed down the road a bit to where a petshop stood. Ed sighed in slight exasperation and followed his younger brother's lead, buying his books, taking the directions to the other store and he headed off to Knockturn Alley.
Knockturn Alley was less crowded than Diagon Alley and Ed liked it better, despite it's shabby and creepy appearance. 'Ink Pot...where's the Ink Pot...seven stores in, turn left at the split and it's the fourth shop on the right huh?' Focusing on his destination and the paper in his hand, Ed didn't see the person walking towards him until the collision occurred.
"Oof. Ugh. Watch where you're going you filthy Gryffindor. You've soiled my clothes with your body and my eyes with your disgusting appearance." The voice was a girl's but that didn't stop Ed from looking up and glaring at her.
His eyes widened and in a stupour gasped, "Gier!"
The girl sneered at him and said, "That had better not have been an insult you little worm. I happen to be Bellatrix Black."
Ed coughed and said, "No, sorry, you just look like someone I knew once long ago. I am going to The Ink Pot. My name is Edward Elric."
"Hmph, like I care. Watch where you flash those colors you stupid firstie Gryffindor." Brllatrix said with a glare.
Ed glared right back and with fire in his eyes he growled, "Not first year. I'll be a sixth year and I'm not a Gryffindor. I haven't been uh...the word is seperated I think?...I haven't been seperated into a house yet."
Bellatrix cocked an eyebrow and with a sneer muttered, "Indeed then? Watch where you walk petite Edward. You may run into someone not as kindhearted as I am."
With that she turned from him and glided away like a great cloaked bird. Ed snorted and headed off back to his journey of looking for The Ink Pot. 'I bet petite is an insult about my height. Next peson to say that'll meet my fist.'
Meanwhile Al had finally found the perfect kitten. It was gray and had pale, silvery tipped paws and eerie green eyes. He found the name Arudo to be a good match for him. Arudo quickly found Al's shoulder to be a perfect perch and they happily traveled into the Apothecary for Al to find his potion supplies.
It was cool and dark inside the shop and different scents permiated the air. The stacks, barrels and bundles of ingrediants wern't very cataloged so with very little self preservation he approached a young teenager about his own age with black hair and beetle black eye, "Excuse me? Will you please help me find these ingrediants?"
The boy turned his head to look over at him and with a scowl asked, "And why should I help you? What would you be able to do for me in return?"
Al smiled, "Nothing I think but if you ask me to do something I can attempt to try it."
The other boy sighed in slight frustraition and said, "Fine, show me your supply list and I'll show you where the ingrediants are. I'll think of something for you to do for me later."
Al nodded and handed the helpful student his list after reading it over the boy looked up in curiosity and said, "These ingrediants arn't part of the potions in the fifth year curriculum. What in the world are you using them for?"
Al just smiled wider and said, "They are for my apprentionship. I am being trained to be a Healer Alchemist and these potions are a big step in the prosess."
The boy smiled for the first time since Al had met him, "Really? An alchemist is that it? I want to be a healer who owns his own medical practice actually. I sort of enjoy making cure potions and learning spells that I need. I asked my school nurse is she would let me see how she healed people but she had to take it to Dumbledore and he denied my request because I was only a second year."
"I met Dumbledore this summer when he came to my master's house. He convinced her and her husband that my brother and I should go to his school for a while. I admit I am nervous though. I haven't been to a real school since I was nine...My name is Alphonse, by the way. Alphonse Elric. Most people call me Al."
The boy nodded in greeting and said, "And my name is Severus Snape. Tell me about your apprentinceship while we get your supplies, would you Alphonse?"
The slightly taller boy nodded in agreement and before five minutes had passed the two were chatting in a cheerful (and excited) manner to the amusement to the Apothecary owner. It was about time someone came along who didn't harass his favorite coustomer.
Outside the shop two boys were swaggering along with two others following quietly in their wake. "Well, what do you want to do now, Padfoot? I've been bored since Lily ditched us..."
"Well we could always go to Gambol & Japes. I here they have a new stock of dungbombs and a new product I'd love to try on Snivellus, an Ever-Bashing Boomerang."
"Speaking of Snivellus look what I see here." James Potter had a not so hidden look of superiority on his face as he beaconed his friends over to the window of the Apothecary. Inside the building Snape was cheerfully talking to a person in a green coat with a black symbol of a serpent cross with a winged crown above. The person had a silver cat on his/her shoulder and seemed to be enjoying the company of the infamous greasy bastard.
"I don't think I've seen that kid at Hogwarts before, have you Padfoot?" James asked as he looked suspiciously at the duo.
"No, but it's obvious to me he's a Slytherin. Who else would willingly spend time with old Snivelly." Sirius commented, "Trust me guys, that guy is a true Slytherin threw and threw."
This comment was meaningfully shattered when the kid picked up a furry black rabbit (the store owner's pet) and proceeded to coo at it and cuddle it.
"Right Sirius," Remus said with a sigh, "If that kid's a 'true Slytherin' then you two are You-Know-Who's left and right hand men."
"Don't even joke about that!" The two dark haired Gryffindor's shouted as they attempted to shake him out of his corrupted senses.
"Maybe he's just a nice person," Peter quietly suggested, "I meen...there are some people around who can get along nicely with anyone they meet."
"Yeah right Peter. If you're going to say something say something meaningful," James said with a snort, "All I know is that kid is chummy with Snivellus and that means we have a new target as the Maraders. He'll see being mates with him is hazardous to his reputation an take off before the first week of school. I can guarantee it. They're coming out, let's scram!"
The four friends dashed away down the road and disappeared just as Severus and Alphonse exited the store, "I need to go and meet my brother now. I hope to see you at Hogwarts when I go there, we could make potions together and you could meet my brother Ed. I think you two would get along great!"
"I'll keep that in mind, Alphonse. It was interesting to have met you." Severus said and after he said his farewell went down to Florish and Blotts to look at potions books.
Alphonse was sitting in the ice cream store for only a few minutes before Edword crashed in and settled down in a chair beside him, "Well today was interesting. I think I met Lust's double today. Name's Bellatrix and has a horrible snobby attitude."
"I made a friend in the Apothecary today. His name is Severus and he is really nice. He want's to be a healer after he graduates." Al said with a smile.
"Hmph, just make sure he dosn't mess with you. Let's go find Master Flamel now. The smell of this ice cream is making me sick."
Al laughed and the two disappeared back into The Leaky Cauldron, their time in Diagon Alley feeling strangely meaningful.
