Finally Ed had found a way back from whence he came and it couldn't have come at a better time. He'd heard strange and ugly rumors from the house elves as of late, rumors that said it was definitely time to go.

As he and Winry packed their things, Ed could only think of how nice it would be to go somewhere where people didn't look at you oddly when you said you were an alchemist, and more importantly, where he had some fucking money and not a bag of marshmallows at the end of the month. They couldn't stay there forever, after all- he and Winry did want kids afterall and Hogwarts was hardly the place to raise them.

After much needling by Winry, he did tell Al he could bring his new boyfriend (Roxas) home with them.

And so he (and oddly enough, a hoarde of completely irrelated people as well) left Hogwarts for good.

Meanwhile...

Light wondered why L was dragging him so vehemently down the corridor to the popcorn room. "Why are we going there?," he asked repeatedly, only to be answered with a curt, "Because it is the way back home, apparently."

Light also wondered if the radio broadcast a few days earlier (L seemed to recognize the voices, oddly enough) was why the older man had been so shirty lately. When asked about that L could only manage to look vaguely disgusted and glare at Light in response.

"...Wait, so why are we going home?," Light asked.

"...Because we are the only sane ones left," L answered swiftly, "And I intend to get out before that changes."

((It's been fun, guys, but I'm headed for less cracky grounds! Consider my chars popped.))
