_____________________
After the troll incident, everything went back to normal. Edward focused on teaching his class, while at the same time further his research. And just like that, a few months passed by and Christmas was only a few days away.
During the past few months, Edward had made sure that everything that happened in the canon timeline still happened. For example, Harry's first Quidditch match and Quirrell's intervention, or Snape's rescue.
Now that Snape has the hope to one day see Lily alive again, he will do everything possible to keep Harry safe. However, he seemed incapable of being nice to him during class.
However, Edward was not worried about these things currently. He was worried about the long list of Christmas presents that he has to give to other people.
All the people that he often corresponds with, he has to send them a gift. Of course, Edward decided to send these people a book from his library about their field of research.
However, he still has many other presents to give, and those had to be personal--especially when it comes to his family and coworkers.
After weeks of preparation, Edward finally finished his preparation right before all students left the castle.
On Christmas day, he sent Dumbledore a pack of homemade candy; this particular one was made by himself and the taste was immaculate. Edward first thought of giving wool stocks but went with the candy instead.
For his favorite professor, Flitwick, he sent an Alchemy item made through Goblin Techniques. This kind of technique has long been lost to the Goblins themselves, but Edward knew how to use it.
For Professor McGonagall, Edward sent a broom made personally by himself. This flying broom was even better than anything currently in the market. However, Edward warned her not to give this broom to the Gryffindor's Quidditch team, otherwise, he would make one even more powerful for the Ravenclaw's team.
Of course, many other professors also receive a gift from Edward. It is just that their presents were not as thoughtful as the others.
As for his family, Edward continued to send little Susan the Alchemy book that contained his memories and understanding of magic. And he added a batch of the candy that he made for Dumbledore.
As for his aunt, Amelia, he made a special necklace for her, which served two purposes. One was to make her magic power in a constant state of activity. As a result of this, it allows her to easily use any spells, and make them more powerful.
The second purpose is that Edward placed a house-elf Apparate ability inside the necklace. So that, if one day she was ever in trouble, she can Apparate anywhere. On top of that, the necklace is designed that if Amelia found her life in danger, the necklace also contains magic that would not only automatically apparate her out of the trouble, but also keep her alive for as long as possible.
Even Helena received a very precious Alchemy gift from Edward. This gift was also a necklace. However, the function was completely different from Amelia's.
For one thing, the design was in the shape of the late 10th century and early 11th century. This was the time that Helena was alive, so Edward thought that she would appreciate it.
One function of this necklace was the fact that it could turn into the shape of a ghost. Meaning that Helena could wear it at all times, and people would simply believe that the necklace has always been a part of her.
As for the main function, it was to allow her to turn into a real body anything that she desires. Now, Edward did not have to use any spell on her for her to turn into a corporeal body; she can choose to do that any time that she wants.
--Scene Break--
One day, Edward was walking in the hallways of Hogwarts' castle. He had a happy spring on his feet as he had just spent a marvelous night with Helena. Let's just say that she was more than pleased with the present.
However, midway through his walk, Edward sensed that something or something was actually around him.
Immediately, he activated different kinds of senses; whether it was thermal vision or echolocation, he had a spell for all of them.
Then, he looked in one direction. With a wave of his hand, a powerful gale blew away everything that was in that direction, revealing the hidden figure.
"Mr. Potter, it is not wise to be sneaking in the hallways at night."
"I am sorry, professor, I thought that there was no one left in the castle."
"Is that so? Well, it seems that you are heading in a certain direction, if you do not mind, I can accompany you."
After hesitating for a while, Harry decided to show the professor the mirror that he has been enamored with in the past few weeks.
------------
Ok, so I have read all the comments and it seemed that a small elite team with everyone having their role is the winner. I am sorry to the solo people. Luckily for all of you, one of my character flaws is that I am a people pleaser--despite knowing that I could never please everyone. So, I decided that the first world after Harry Potter will be a solo mission, then he would travel in a small team.

__________________________
Under Harry Potter's lead, Edward was led to the room where Dumbledore placed the Mirror of Erised.
After entering, Edward saw the gold framed mirror with the words " Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" written on them. Meaning, "I show not your face but your heart's desire."
"Professor, this mirror has been showing me my parents," elaborate Harry after entering the room.
Edward nodded before starting to examine the mirror. As an alchemist, he was fascinated by ancient items like this one. Suddenly, Edward's eyes turned purple; this was a spell he developed that allows him to examine any new items that he first meets.
The gist of this spell is that Edward's eyes will scan the item, then he will rapidly recall all the knowledge inside his head and compare to see whether he recognizes any of the materials or enchantments that were placed on said item.
For example, after scanning the Mirror of Erised, Edward instantly knew all the materials that the mirror was made of. As for the enchantment that allows one to see their innermost desires, although he did not recognize it, the spell he used to scan the mirror will also show Edward possible ways to achieve the same effect.
This spell--which Edward calls Alchemy Eye--allows him to easily study any alchemy item or artifacts as long as he first sees and touches them, and as long as his knowledge reserve is enough to create it. And it is not, this spell will give him hints on how to go about it.
After finishing analyzing the mirror, Edward then looked directly at it.
"What do you see, professor?" asked Harry Potter.
"I see myself as one of the most powerful wizards of all time. My parents are also alive and well. I am accompanied by a harem of beautiful women, traveling across multiple universes and dimensions, in the pursuit of knowledge and truth."
"Professor," exclaimed Harry. Although he was young, he knew what the word harem of women meant.
"There is no need to be embarrassed, Potter. You know, as the savior, it is not that hard for you to have a harem of your own."
However, Harry Potter just blushed and lowered his head. He did not comment further on the subject.
A few seconds later, Edward then said:
"I am sure you are aware that the thing shown in the mirror is false, and dwelling on them is not a healthy way to live."
"I know, professor, but I just could not help it."
"I can somewhat understand how you feel as I have also lost my parents. And I have been luckier than you as I had more than 12 years with them before they were gone," replied Edward.
If you think about it, he has lost his parents twice already. The first time was in his previous life; he lost his parents during a car accident when he was in high school. Oddly enough, Edward also died in a car accident years later.
The second time was when he lost his parents during the First Wizarding War. Although Edward believes that he will bring them back to life one day, he does not know for sure whether there will be complications in the process.
As for his parents from his previous life, well, it is not possible to bring them back to life. Maybe later after he becomes more powerful. However, Edward had a feeling that it might simply be impossible.
"Professor, I have been curious about something, but I do not know whether to ask?" said Harry Potter.
"Go ahead Potter, if I know the answer, I will gladly answer you."
"What do wizards know about death?"
"What do you mean by that, Potter?"
After taking a few seconds to organize his language, Harry then explained: "Well, in the muggle world, there are different religions that explain what happens to people after death. But I was wondering about wizards' views on the subject. After all, wizards are capable of many things; maybe they have a certain understanding of death."
Edward took a deep look at Harry for a few seconds before saying:
"What you are talking about, Potter is considered a form of a taboo amongst wizards. No ordinary wizard will pursue death and the magic related to it."
"Professor, I do not think that you are the kind of person that lets things like taboo get in your way."
"You are correct, Mr. Potter," replied Edward. After a few seconds of silence, he asked: "Have you heard of the story of the Peverell Brothers?"
"No."
Then Edward proceeded to tell him about the story, about how the three brothers evaded death while crossing a bridge, then Death itself showed up and gave each of them a prize that led to their eventual death. However, he did not mention the Deathly Hallows.
"What does that have to do with anything, professor?" asked Harry, very confused.
"The reason I am telling you this story is because Death in the story is not just a legend, but a real entity. And I've met him personally."
