Chapter 9
Ed was very sure the castle liked fucking with the students. He’s heard from many that some doors are tricky to get into, either you have to ask politely to get in or have to tickle it.
That hasn’t happened with him or Al.
But something that has happened, is that when in a rush, they seem to find the best secret pass ways.
“So, excited for the Quidditch match?”
Ed sighed. He was walking with Evelyn and Takashi.
This match is what everyone was talking about, and quite frankly, he was getting sick of it. Sure he was interested in seeing the match, with how violent it sounded, but did everyone have to obsess over it so much.
Evelyn was a fan of it as well, she held it more respectable then most though. He knew his brothers more than his fellow first-year. The twins were hilarious, too bad they tried to prank him and got their asses beaten for their trouble.
So now he was sitting with the Ravenclaw watching the game. It was Gryffindor’s vs Slytherin. Ed sat on the stands and was in fear. He was seeing a new side to Takashi and it was violent.
The kid was so calm and composed, seeing him yelling threats and shouting was terrifying.
It could be that same for Evelyn. She was yelling and curing as well, when she’s normally quiet.
He actually liked the sport, it was violent and interesting to watch. Seeing as they were flying on brooms and all. So he took special interest in the different rolls and to what Lee Jordan was saying. He was tempted to ask to speak next.
When all of a sudden, the big ball, the Qwaffle he thinks it was called, suddenly became jerky, and went to the stands, like someone was controlling it.
Seeing Hermione and Neville were the ball was going, he jumped up, Al doing the same. The both ran there, Takashi and Evelyn following them. They had just arrived to see Harry dodge the ball again, people screaming as it broke the stands.
Where were the teachers?!
Ed took note of where the teachers were, and saw McGonagall standing, while Snape was whispering furiously while maintain eye-contact with the ball, the same with Quirrell.
Getting annoyed with the ball trying to kill Harry and his friends. Ed turned, alchemised his metal vambrace on his arms (It was something he and Al made after he got into the habit of blocking with his right hand, which use to be automail, he made two to be more practical, made of diamond and metal, he could alchemies to use it just like his automail, and they made a new since coming to this world, he wore it all the time)
He made sure it covered his whole arm and risk to take the impact as he punched the ball, hard, and it went flying across the field and destroyed the bottom part of the stands.
Everyone went quiet and Ed made sure his arm wasn’t broken. “Anything hurt?” Al was ready to heal his arm if he had to. “Nope, learned my lesson from last time” he grinned at his brother.
Al nodded with a roll of his eyes before asking if anyone was hurt, just as McGonagall arrived.
“Mr Elric! That, are you, Potter!-“ she stumbled. “I’m fine, but I think some students have trauma ma’am” Al said as he made sure everyone wasn’t injured. “R-right, I think the game is cancelled”
The news spread quickly. Ed ignored and snapped at people who asked how he did what he did.
He couldn’t avoid his friends of course, he explained it was alchemy, and even showed them.
He made sure they knew no one was supposed to know his, or his brothers alchemy. They were pretty sure, the ‘fake story’ about someone hunting them down, wasn’t so fake, and it’s because of their alchemy.
So they made sure their friends wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
