______________________
One day while Edward was inside his classroom reviewing the students' work, an owl came through the window and handed him a letter. After feeding the bird, he opened the letter.
The letter came from Hagrid asking to come to meet him in his hut as he had something important to ask. The letter also mentioned that it was urgent.
After reading the letter, Edward could more or less guess the reason for Hagrid asking to see him. According to the canon timeline, this should be around the time that he received his dragon.
After packing his belongings, he headed there to meet the half-giant who had a deep love for magical animals.
On the way there, Edward first encountered Quirrell who was still acting like a stuttering buffoon. The two of them pretended like they did not know each other and passed by one another like they were strangers.
The second person that Edward encountered was the ghost of the Slytherin House, the Bloody Baron.
"Edward Bones," said the Baron. "What you are doing is wrong and you should stop."
"And what am I doing wrong, Mr. Baron?"
"Your relationship with Helena is wrong. The living and the dead should not be together; this is taboo and wrong. I am warning you to leave her alone. Otherwise, suffer the consequences."
Edward gave him a deep look before saying; "And I am guessing that this warning of yours has nothing to do with your affection, nay, your obsession with her, right?"
"I do not know what you are talking about. But heed my warning," replied the Baron with a cold look on his face.
"And if I don't, what can you do?"
"Although I cannot do anything to a powerful wizard-like yourself, I can still haunt you. Everywhere you go, I will be there. When you try to sleep, I will wake you to continue to haunt you. Anyway, our ghosts do not have the need or desire to rest."
The Bloody Baron had spent quite some time coming with this threat. He knew that few charms or spells could work on ghosts. Although there was some dark magic that still worked on them, those were very rare and were also temporary. So, he did not have much to fear.
Edward looked at the Baron with a smirk on his face, then he snapped his finger. A dark and creepy flame appeared on his hand. The Baron immediately backed away after seeing it.
While looking at the flame, Edward said:
"This flame is called Demon Flame, summoned from another dimension. The method used by wizards to become ghosts is to live an imprint of themselves in the living world after their deaths, thus being able to exist in such a form.
"As a result of this, all of you take a non-corporeal form that is immune to most magic. Unfortunately for you, Baron, this flame can instantly erase the imprint that exists in this world and kill you. What's worse, after you die again, you will not enter the afterlife like everyone else, but cease to exist in this mortal coil."
The expression of the Baron became distorted, he gave a deep look at Edward before flying away.
Meanwhile, Edward was looking at this flame while secretly sighing. He learned this dark magic from the book [The Key of Solomon].
Both [The Lesser Key of Solomon} and [The Key of Solomon] are books that Edward stole from the Vatican and they both talked about how to summon demons and control them. Additionally, there is some demonic magic related to them.
Unfortunately, after countless trials and errors, Edward discovered that he could only summon a few very weak demons and nothing more.
At first, he thought that it was either a problem with him or the magic itself, but after investigation, he realized that he was wrong.
Just like there is a separate dimension for the afterlife where Death exists and rules over, Edward also discovered a dimension where demons exist. And that is where these summoned demons came from.
Unfortunately, he could not enter that dimension just like he did for Death no matter what he tried. Even worse, no other powerful demons could also be summoned in the material world. So, these two books were seriously nerfed.
After that experience, Edward theorized that the Harry Potter universe might have been extremely powerful at some point in time, but for some reason, was reduced by several reasons.
Of course, Edward does not have much evidence besides the existence of Death to support his theory, but he still thinks that there might be some truth to his theory.
After all, when you compare the capability of ordinary wizards to the existence of things like the Philosopher's Stone, Ravenclaw's Diadem, the Horcrux Magic, and even the Resurrection Magic that Voldemort used in the cemetery, these discrepancies are too large to ignore.
While thinking about these things, Edward soon arrived at Hagrid's Hut.
--Scene Break--
Edward was sitting inside the hut, accompanied by Hagrid and the Gryffindor's Trio. He looked at the little dragon while playing with it. Unlike when it was with Hagrid, the little dragon was as docile as a cat in front of Edward.
"How did you do that?" asked Hagrid with a look of excitement and envy on his face. And he was not the only one impressed.
"I will teach about this some other time. So, what do you call it?" asked Edward, fully knowing the answer.
"Norbert. His name is Norbert."
"Well, it should be Norberta as it is female," replied Edward. And the reason he knew this was not just because he previously read the Harry Potter book, but because he had extensive knowledge about magical beasts.
"It's a she?" asked Ron in surprise. Even Hagrid was a little surprised.
After everyone calmed down, Hermione then said: "Professor, Hagrid cannot keep the dragon, so we were wondering if there was anything that you could do to help? Like maybe find a place for him or get him a permit to raise legally."
However, Edward did not answer her, instead, he was staring deeply at Norberta. This lasted for a few minutes before Hagrid woke him up from his deep thinking.
"What did you guys say?" asked Edward. However, no one responded to him immediately, instead, Hermione asked: "Professor, what were you thinking about so deeply?"
"Oh, I was thinking about creating a real dragon."
"A real dragon? What do you mean by that?" asked Ron. His brother raised dragons for a living, so he was quite familiar with different types of dragons, but he had never heard of real dragons.
"According to muggle stories, the dragons we have in the wizarding world are wyvern--which are inferior species of dragons.
"Real dragons are majestic creatures that are a few hundred meters tall and have a wingspan of a thousand feet. They do not just breathe fire, but have their system of magic, usually based on a special language called Dragon Chant," explained Edward.
"That sounds so terrifying," said Ron.
"That would be such a cute creature," said Hagrid at the same time.
Both Hermione and Harry were from the muggle world, so they have heard of similar stories. So, Hermione asked: "You said it yourself, professor, these were stories. So, how could you possibly create such a creature?"
_____________
So it is decided, Edward will conquer the world. As for the people who argued that he is a loner who pursuit doing research, you have to understand that having many people helping doing the lesser research would save him a lot of time. Of course I understand that Edward will have to make sure that some wizards are loyal to him, and guide them to change their mindset.
On top of that, he will have a special team made of the best and most talented witch and wizard of the Harry Potter world to help in his research. And I will make sure to take into account the person's morality and camp before deciding what research they will do in the future.

"Simple," replied Edward calmly. "By purifying the bloodline of current modern time dragons and seeing if their ancestors were real dragons spoken in the stories. Even if I were to fail, then I would still like to see what a dragon would turn into after his bloodline is purified."
"Magic can do such a thing?" asked Hermione. "I have never heard of any book that mentions such a thing."
Edward looked at her deeply before answering. "Miss Granger, magic is a very powerful and mysterious force with unlimited possibility. The only limit of magic is us, the users."
After saying that, Edward paused for a moment before saying something else:
"Miss Granger, let me give you a piece of advice. If you think that by just memorizing all the things in the book that you can become a great wizard, then you are truly mistaken.
"Truly powerful wizards like me or Dumbledore are like muggle scientists: we look at magic through curiosity and observation. Have any of you ever asked yourselves these questions:
"What is magic? Where did it come from? Why can wizards be born with magic while muggles are not? Is it some form of energy, or something else? Why is it that some people are born with special talents while others are not? Why is it that some animals are born with magic while others are not?
"There are so many unanswered and unexplored things that us wizards do not understand, but the problem is the fact no one but few is asking these kinds of questions.
"Now, I know that all of you are a bunch of first years and the number of charms that most of you can use can be counted on one hand, but it is never too late to start asking these questions, then try to find the answer later on."
Although the majority of these people in the shack were young, all of them were extraordinary in some way, and each had somewhat of a different response--besides the shared shock or surprise.
Both Harry and Hermione were raised with muggle ideology, so they can understand the concept of scientists exploring the unknown by asking questions.
Despite this, their initial reaction or thinking differed after this. Harry Potter just thought that Edward was amazing, however, he did not think further about such a thing. He did not have good grades in science class, so he did not care about these questions that Edward asked.
The same could be said for Hagrid. The only thing still in his mind after the initial shock was whether Edward could create a real dragon with the same physical features that he previously mentioned.
Ron--as a person who grew up in the magical world--asked himself for a brief moment why he never heard anyone--including his father--talked about these questions Edward asked. For a brief moment, he asked himself whether it was something that only dark wizards did.
Of course, the person who was affected the most by these words was Miss Hermione Granger herself. She realized that she has been looking at magic the wrong way.
She thought that magic was this mysterious and secretive thing, but she should have been looking at it through the lens of a scientist. She should have been asking all types of questions.
Of course, Edward--as a powerful Legimens--could tell what all these people were thinking with just a glance. Although he usually does not have the habit of spying on people's thoughts, he occasionally does so.
"Professor, how would we go about answering those questions?" asked Hermione with a newfound vigor in her voice.
"Well let me show you," he replied. "First, I'd like you to use a spell, any of them can do."
After hesitating for a while, Hermione took out her wand and said: "Lumos." Then the tip of her wand lit up. Edward nodded before asking: "Now, let me ask, why do you need to use an incantation when using a charm? It is widespread knowledge that some wizards can use nonverbal spells!"
Hermione raised her eyebrow as she began to think about all the knowledge she had read before.
"I remember that in a book, it said that wizards have something called magic power inside of them and that it grows as a wizard gets older, This is the reason that older wizards are usually more powerful than younger ones.
"So, the incantation is used to mobilize the magic power inside a wizard to properly cast spells."
"Correct, Miss Granger. Now, the second step is to find the magic power inside the body. I need you to close your eyes and cast a spell. However, do not just randomly do, but try to feel any changes that are happening inside of you."
Hermione closed her eyes, then waved her wand: "Lumos." However, she did not feel anything. "I did not feel anything, professor."
"It's alright, just repeat the process until you succeed."
Hermione nodded and followed the guidance. "Lumos," she chanted again. She tried a few times before finally feeling a mysterious power inside her; she was in awe of it.
'Only seven tries, she is three tries better than Little Susan,' thought Edward to himself.
As for him, he did not have to try. The moment that his magic rioted at the age of 6, he could feel his magic power. And soon after that, he discovered his magic core. For Edward, magic has always been like an extra limb that he can use or wield in anyways that he sees fit.
"Miss Granger, now that you have found your magic power, it's time to follow the origin or where it came from. This time, I will give you a little help."
Edward then took out his wand and pointed to the place between her eyebrows. A white light flew out his wand and entered Hermione's head, then she found that all her senses were extremely sharp.
Following the professor's advice, she cast the Lumos Charm again, then sensed how the magic power operated inside her body.
"Professor, I saw a cube inside of my heart; there seemed to be something inside of it. It seemed to be the so-called magic power."
"That is the magic core," replied Edward. "And the place that holds all wizards' magic powers."
Hermione was fascinated by this discovery as she started to play with her magic power. She effortlessly controlled it and cast different spells. Some spells that she found difficult to cast came so easily to her now.
Unfortunately for her, after a few minutes, the spell that Edward placed on her was gone, and her senses returned to normal. Although she could still feel the magic power in her body, she could no longer find the magic core.
___________
For those who might be wondering. even though Edward decide to conquer the world, I will not spend a lot of time writing the HP World. I will not write all 7 seven years of Harry Potter, and there will be time-skips.
