Edward was standing in front of his class waiting for all his students to enter. As soon as they walked in, their eyes seemed to shine like anime characters after laying eyes on him. Once everybody was properly seated, Edward started class by first saying:
"I know all of you are excited to have such a smart, handsome, talented, and famous teacher as me, but this is not the time for any shenanigans."
The class laughed out.
"I promised all of you that after class is over if there is enough time, I will answer all the questions that you have. Understand?"
The students nodded.
"In that case, let's begin. Last semester, to get you guys interested in Alchemy, I taught you the fun aspect of it. This semester, I will teach you the boring and tiring aspects of it."
One student raised their hand.
"Yes, Mr. Diggory?"
"Professor, last semester, I thought you said that we were going to learn Amalgam Enchantment?"
"That is correct, but there are many other steps needed beforehand. Let me give you a demonstration first."
Edward then placed his wand on his temple to draw a silver-white string, then he waved into the air. Suddenly, a large image appeared in the classroom like a holographic device.
In the image, Edward was in a heated room full of different machines; he was wearing loose clothes and many metals were in front of him; he took two of them, melt them separately before mixing them with different ratios to create a new alloy.
After that, he then melts the new alloy again, placed it on a machine that shaped it in the form of a sword. After the sword cooled down, he hammered, then sharpened the edge, created a handle for it.
(AN: As you can see, I have very little understanding of how swords and different alloys are made, how metals are processed, and so on, so bear with it.)
Once everything was done, he used an Enchantment Pen to write the word "Incendio" on the finished swords. Unfortunately, after activating the enchantments, a massive fire appeared and instantly melted the sword.
Then, Edward went to work again. He used different metals with different combinations, and sometimes, he even used some weird potion when created the magical alloy for the sword.
However, the process failed each time. In the second attempt, the blade exploded into countless pieces, in the third attempt, the enchantment did not even work, in the fourth attempt, the fire could not be controlled almost burning Edward's hand. It took at least 8 tries before he succeeded.
"As you can see, this semester, we will learn about different metals--both magical and non-magical--and their properties. How to mix them to get the best alloy for an Alchemy item, which one has the best conductibility of magic, which is more durable, more ductile, etc…
"Through trial and error, you guys will have to learn the hard way how to make Alchemy items from scratch."
One student raised her hand and Edward identified her as one of the muggle-born students in his class.
"Yes, Ms. Klein!"
"Sir, why do you look like a muggle blacksmith during the entire process? Why didn't you use any magic?"
Of course, Ms. Klein was secretly complaining why the Professor was not shirtless during the process, and many of the witches were thinking the same thing. After all, all of them were now 15 years old--reaching the age when their adolescent hormones were in full motion. Luckily, Edward did not have the habit of using Legilimency on his students.
"Great question. Let me show you guys another demonstration."
Following this, another large image of Edward appeared in the class. This time, he was also forging a sword, but using magic.
With a wave of his wand, the metals in his possession melted, then he mixed them to create the appropriate alloy. Then, he controlled the magical alloy to turn in the shape of the sword, used another spell to cool it down. Afterward, used another spell to remove the impurity from the metals, and a final one to sharpen the edges.
Finally, he enchanted it with his pen.
The entire process only took about an hour.
"As you can see class," said Edward. "Relying on magic to complete make an Alchemy Item required a great deal of strength and ability for spell casting; something that many of you in the classroom currently lack. So, throughout this semester, while you learn the old fashion way, I will also be teaching you some of the spells essential to an Alchemist.
"Of course, this is not the main reason that I want you all to learn the ways of a blacksmith. It's because this method allows you to have a hands-on approach to the different metals; it allows you to personally experiment with different ores and learn about their properties through trial and error."
The students nodded, however, they do not think that class would be as boring as the Professor said if they have to do what he showed on these images. However, one student had a question.
"Yes, Mr. George Weasley."
"Professor, I'm Fred."
"No, you're not," replied Edward calmly.
"How do you know?"
"I just know. What's your question, Mr. Weasley?"
"I have two questions: one is there an even better Alchemy Method than the one you just showed us? Secondly: where is our classroom going to get all these types of equipment to practice?"
"Ambitious aren't we, Mr. Weasley. Well, there is." Then, Edward showed them another image.
This time, Edward engraved a few Ancient Runes on two different metals, then used his wand to activate them. Following this, the two metals turned into a goo-like substance before blending into a brand new ore: the process only took a few seconds.
After that, Edward inscribed a few more runes before activating them. This time, the alloy instantly turned into a beautiful silver sword, glistening under the sun. For the last step, he placed enchantments on them. Just like that, in less than 15 minutes, an alchemy item was created.
"Professor, is that Transfiguration?"
"No, this kind of magic is called Transmutation."
"What's the difference?"
"Hmm, how do I explain this for you guys to completely understand," said Edward as he paused for a moment. "Okay, the material used to make the sword is called white silver. To make such a material, brown copper and ordinary silver need to be mix together.
"Using Transfiguration, I can directly turn the brown copper or ordinary silver into the white silver, or even directly into the sword. However, Transmutation needs to use both raw materials to first make the white silver, then transform it into the sword.
"More importantly, Transfiguration is not permanent, but Transmutation is."
"But, professor, I thought you said last year that you could turn base metal into gold, but only lasting for 6 months? And you also said that there was another Grand Alchemist who achieved a permanent change," said Fred Weasly.
"That's true. At the highest level, Transmutation can barely reach the level of Transfiguration. As for the permanent change of metals, that requires the Philosopher's Stone to achieve."
"And what is the Philosopher's Stone?" asked one student.
"Something that you will learn later on, but if any of you are curious, you are more than welcome to research it in the library," replied Edward calmly. "Now, back to Mr. George's question. I have modified one of the Hogwarts classrooms to include many blacksmith equipments, and this will be our classroom from now on.
"Professor, can we see it? The new classroom?"
"Sure, why not?" He then used the same previous method to show them their future classroom. Although some people were secretly dissatisfied that they did not directly go there, there was nothing that they could do.
In the classroom showed by Edward, there were many furnaces, ores lying everywhere, a powerful heat could be felt emanating inside. The size of the room was oddly too large as there was enough space for every student to have their equipment. Edward placed an Extension Charm in the classroom, hence the size.
"Now, as you can see, working in such an environment, accidents are prone to happen. As your professor, it is my job to guarantee your safety, but if an accident occurs because any of you decided not to follow the regulations, then I will kick you out of the classroom.
"After three repeated strikes, I will remove you from the entire course. Is that clear?
"Yes, Professor," responded all the students with a dignified look on their faces.
"Good. Now that we have a little time before the end of class, you can ask all the questions you were dying to ask me."
Following this, all the students raised their hands. With a sigh, Edward picked one at random, and the rest of the class was spent with him answering questions about either his personal life or about his recent accomplishments during the summer.

After class, Edward waved for three students to stay behind, and they were Cedric Diggory and the Weasley Twins.
"So, did you guys make good use of the Alchemy items and books that I gave you last summer?" asked Edward while looking at them.
"Yes, professor," quickly replied Cedric. "Over the summer, I practiced non-stop until I could locate and wield my magic power and magic core. Additionally, my father sent his gratitude for the precious gifts."
Edward nodded in satisfaction, then his gaze turned to the Twins who looked like they had done something wrong: "So, did you guys not practice?"
"Oh no, we did," replied the two together.
"Then, why do you look so guilty."
"Well, at first, we did not practice due to how boring it was," said Fred.
"But, Percy was snooping in our room and he discovered the books and magical items, then he told our parents," continued George.
"After our mother discovered how precious such knowledge was, she was very thankful that you were willing to give it to us, so she forced us to practice."
"Professor, it was really hard and boring, but we did manage to find our magic powers and cores."
Edward finally nodded in satisfaction, "This does not explain the look on your faces. So, if you have something to say, do it now."
"Well," said Fred. "Our mother was wondering whether we can use the books and Alchemy items to help little Ginny…
"And Ron!"
"And Ron to also discover their latent abilities. And even, let other members of the family use it as well."
Edward could guess the gist of things based on their brief explanation. Mrs. Weasley probably feared that the gifts were meant only for the Twins, so she did not want to overstep her boundary and let all the members of her family use them. So, she asked for permission.
And given Cedric's reaction, he might have faced a similar problem with his father. So, Edward said: "Since I gave these things, it is rightfully yours and you can do whatever you please with it."
Edward has never been stingy with sharing knowledge. To him, knowledge about magic powers and magic cores should be taught at every magical school in the world as part of the first-year curriculum.
"In that case, we offer our gratitude," said Cedric and the Twins.
Edward just calmly nodded, then he took out two books from his desk: "Before you go, these are for you; they should help you in your study."
All three of them once again became surprised after opening the book and read the information sent into their minds, they thanked Edward one last time before leaving.
--Scene Break--
Hermione, Harry, and Ron were walking in the hallway heading to class. Harry asked: "Hermione, where were you? I did not see you in potion class."
"I told you guys that my schedule is different now since I have to take Alchemy Class?"
"Isn't that a class for third years?" asked Ron.
"I told you guys about me taking it ahead of time, didn't you hear a word I said?"
The two of them laughed a little embarrassed. Wanting to change the subject, Harry said: "The strangest thing happened in class today."
"That's right. Snape was acting nice to Harry."
"Not acting nice, but more like he no longer targets me anymore."
"As far as I'm concern, that's acting nice," muttered Ron.
"Harry, didn't you say that Snape also visited your house during the summer?" asked Hermione.
"Yes. He forced my aunt and uncle to give me a better room and make sure that they treated me properly. He even threaten to turn them into toads if they did something bad to me."
"No wonder you looked a little fatter than usual," said Ron. However, Harry ignored him as he continued: "I honestly feel like Snape is up to something, but I do not know what? Do you guys have any ideas?"
Unfortunately, none of them did, and they soon reached their classroom.
A few hours later, the trio walked out of their classroom.
"Well, that was bullocks," said Ron.
"Why did the school hire such an incompetent professor as Lockhart," said Hermione in annoyance.
"I thought you were a big fan of his books," said Ron with a smirk.
"That's before I knew that he could not even cast a proper spell."
Then, the three of them headed back to their Houses' lounge.
--Scene Break--
Edward was sitting in his office when he received a letter from the headmaster. So, he packed up his things and went to his office. After playing a little with Fawkes, he sat in front of the headmaster.
"So, to what do I owe this meeting?" asked Edward.
"Right to the point, I see," said Dumbledore. "In that case, I will be direct. I know that the Invisible Cloak that you gave Harry Potter is not the original one, so I would like for you to return the real one."
With a calm look on his face, he replied; "Unfortunately, I cannot do so."
"Oh, and why is that?"
"Recently, I have had a little confrontation with Death, and I need the power of the Deathly Hallow to hide from his prying eyes."
Dumbledore frowned after hearing this. As a person who once own two of the Deathly Hallows, he sometimes could feel Death's gaze and its temptation to gather all of them; the temptation that he might be able to see his sister again, and right the wrong of his past. So, he knew the power of such a God-like being.
"Isn't there any room for maneuver in this situation?" asked the headmaster.
"Unfortunately, no. However, I'm not an unreasonable person. I can compensate Potter for his life."
"And how would you do that?"
Edward looked at the headmaster's head before saying: "Didn't you always have a suspicion that Voldemort was not dead? Or that the scar on Harry's head was not as simple as it seems?"
Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat, however, his face remained calm. "What do you mean exactly?"
"Voldemort survived by making Horcrux. And Harry Potter is an accidental one."
Dumbledore's brow creased slightly after hearing this, then he placed a piece of candy in his mouth. Meanwhile, after a brief pause, Edward continued:
"As you can imagine, unless Potter is killed, Voldemort will forever exist. However, as a form of compensation, I can remove Voldemort's soul left in his body."
The room became silent as the headmaster thought to himself. "Is what you said true?"
"I do not need to lie about something like this."
"In that case, I will get back to you later."
"No problem," replied Edward. "Now that I'm here and finally remember, I would like to ask you, headmaster, to find a better teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Art class. Professor Lockhart is not competent enough for this job."
"I have my reason to hire Gilroy."
Edward sighed, then he said: "I understand that you might want to teach Harry Potter some profound lesson by having a person like Lockhart as a teacher, but it is not okay to waste these students an entire year of learning opportunity to do so.
"So, I'm not asking you to change professor as a suggestion or a concern staff member of this school, but as one of the governors of Hogwarts. You have one month to find a qualified teacher, otherwise, the Board of Governors will intervene in the management of the school.
"Now, have a nice day, Professor. I will see you during diner time."
---------
So, what I'm going to say might offend a lot of people, but I will say it anyway. I do not found Tonks' Metamorphmagus ability to be important enough to be part of Edward's group. I mean, anyone who can use Human Body Transfiguration is as useful as her, so she would most likely not be part of the inner group or Harem. You've been warned.
