Edward Elric had seen many wonders in his life, but none of them compared to the magic of his own world. Trapped in a mundane reality, he longed for a way to return to his family and friends. But when he stumbled upon a mysterious portal, he realized that going home would not be easy. He would have to face a dark and dangerous wizarding world, where his alchemy skills would be both a blessing and a curse.

Accent Note:
Due to the latest complaint on Ed's accent, here's bit o' the guide I have in my head.

Please note- His accent gets worse when he's tired, upset, or even just uncomfortable --(Established in earlier chapters, and I didn't want to repeat myself in this regard-- perhaps I should have, given the numerous complaints I've received.) Things like this happen in real life all the time. The more upset he is, the less understandable he is, and the more likely he'll slip into speaking his native language, or even another he knows well.

I believe I have already established that it sounds a lot like German, but it's not. It's a made up accent. I started with it in story, and I have to be consistent. I think it takes more than a year to get fluent in a language anyway, even when one is a genius.

'dh', 'd' when there should be a 'th' or a 't' -- means it's a really soft 't' that almost sounds like a 'd' but not quite.

ending in 'ink' or even 'int' when it should be 'ing'- the 'g' is a harder than necessary 'g'

'vr' - 'r' at beginning of word. --kind of a like a puff of air right before the 'r'

'v' - 'w'

'vw' - closer to true 'w' usually only when he's calm and rational and can concentrate on pronouncing it right.

Title: DADAPet peeves Detention Snape Style

When they entered the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, the pink monstrosity was already seated at the desk. She was looking even more like a toad than ever to Ed, with the little black bow on the the top of her head resembling a rather unwise fly. He looked at the way she had the class set up, and instantly Ed knew he would hate it.

The desks were ordered in neat rows, directly in front of the monstrosity's large desk, much like his last experience in a regular school.

'This..is going to be incredibly..BORING.' Ed thought as he filed in with the rest.

He flopped into a seat next to Ron, who sat next to Harry. Hermione sat just a few spaces away, and gave him a little wave. He nodded to her, and she blushed. Then he heard.. giggles, and he glanced towards the sound. It came from a group of girls in the front. Only one glanced at him before turning away quickly, then the giggles started up again.

"Well, good afternoon!" the monstrosity said.

Ed heard a few people mumble good afternoon in reply, and he folded his arms.

"Tut,tut," Said she. "This won't do. I should like you, please, to reply 'Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge'. One more time please. good afternoon, class."

"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge." They chanted back. Ed kept his face stony and said nothing.

"There now. That wasn't too difficult, was it?" she said sweetly. Wands away, and quills out, please."

The pink monstrosity took out her wand and tapped on the blackboard sharply with it.

Defense Against the Dark Arts A Return to Basic Principles.

"Well now, your teaching in this subject has been rather fragmented, hasn't it?" She stated with her hands clasped together in front of her. "The constant changing of teachers, many of whom do not seem to have followed any Ministry-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your being far below the standard we would expect to see in your O.W.L. year.

"You will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to be rectified. We will be following a carefully structured, theory-centered, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic this year. Copy down the following please."

She rapped on the blackboard again; the first message vanished and was replaced by:

1) Understanding the principles underlying defensive magic.

2) Learning to recognise situations in which defensive magic can be legally used.

3) Placing the use of defensive magic in a context for practical use.

'Yep..like I thought.' Ed opened his notebook, and settled back. He scribbled an array down and continued working on the equation instead. He glanced up when the monstrosity wanted their eyes, heard something about needing a copy of Defensive Magical Theory with them to read in class. He snorted, and went back to his notebook. He let the music of alchemy wrap itself about his mind. He fazed out of it slightly when he heard Hermione's voice..

"Well, I don't. There's nothing written up there about USING defensive spells."
