Inside the Room of Requirement:
Edward had just finished studying the diadem after removing the soul of Voldemort from it and storing it in another object. Although he technically has not slept for a few days, he still had a powerful vigor.
This kind of situation was normal for him as he is used to spending months without end when studying things that he is interested in. Of course, he has developed potions that have provided his body with the nutrition needed and his spirit at an all-time high.
"Your mother was truly an unimaginably powerful witch," said Edward with fascination after comprehending the enchantments on the diadem.
"Many people have said similar things. She was not only the most powerful witch of her time but probably one of the very best throughout history," replied Helena--who was standing not far from Edward with a complicated look on her face.
"I am sure she loved you very much."
"Maybe you are right, but that does not change the fact that she did not spend any of her time with me. Between all her magic research and running Hogwarts, I barely saw her except for when she was teaching me."
Edward sighed after hearing this. He knew that ghosts stayed in the world of the living for two reasons: afraid of death or unfinished business.
As for Helena, it was unfinished business. She wanted to see her mother again and gained her forgiveness for her past transgression, and she also wanted to voice all the wrongdoings that she suffered during her childhood.
This was one of the reasons that she stole the diadem. Not just because she was jealous of her mother's intelligence and importance; she wanted to gain such intelligence to make certain achievements as a witch, then gained her attention. She wanted to have a real relationship with her, even if it was through magic.
Edward sighed but did not mention this topic again. However, he promised to find a way to help her in the future if he can. Living like a ghost is like a curse, no one should live like that--unless it is of their willingness to escape death.
…
Edward then focused on his recent finding. This Diadem is a piece of art when it comes to Alchemy.
It grants the user the power of Accelerated Thought Process. When someone puts it on, all their thought processes, calculation ability, and processing speed will dramatically increase.
In simple words, the user will begin to function as a computer, being able to process information at an unnaturally fast rate. It is the perfect tool for understanding and researching magic.
Edward's mind started to race and thinking about how much of great help this diadem will be to his research after he recreated his own. And he has many ideas on how to improve it.
For once, he can enchant his version to allow himself to enter an emotionless state of mind--a state of mind where all distracting thoughts and emotions are removed. That way, it can further increase his processing ability by removing so many variables; it was like turning himself into an AI machine.
He called this spell Mechanized Mind.
Another advantage of this spell is the fact that it can remove or negate the power of dark arts in a wizard's mind.
It is common knowledge that when a wizard constantly studies the dark arts, it can slowly start to influence their minds, making them more moody, dark, and cruel.
Even Edward is not immune to such a thing. This is one of the reasons that he has to constantly use his Patronus Charm to absorb positive emotions after doing dark arts research, otherwise, his personality will slowly change.
With this new spell, everything will change. The Darks arts cannot change or influence an emotionless robot, so it will also prove ineffective against the Mechanized mind.
Time passed, and Edward started making his Diadem, however, he still changed the design to be more suited for a man. Of course, all his other research continued as well, Although he was a little stretched thin with all the different research he had to do, he still focused on the Life Code.
By the end of the year, he should be prepared to modify his own body after a few experiments on other test subjects.
--Scene Break--
Inside Hagrid Hut, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Hagrid were watching the process of an egg cracking.
Soon, a small winged creature appeared from the bronze egg. It looked around with its small eyes, surveying the surroundings.
"Is that a Dragon?" asked Ron
"Yes," replied Hagrid with a smile on his face.
"My brother Charlie raises Dragons in Romania."
"Is that so?" replied Hagrid while admiring the creature. "I've always wanted to raise a dragon ever since I saw Edward's Dragon."
"Professor Bones has a dragon?" asked Harry with a little intrigued look on his face.
"Oh yes, and not just dragons. He has a Thunderbird, Swooping evil, Niffler, Fwooper, giants, and Zouwu. He has a suitcase that has most of the magical animals in the wizarding world. He and Newt Scamander always used to compete on who has the most animals and who raises them the best.
"The only two animals that he does not have are a phoenix and a basilisk. However, this year, he told me that he was tracking a phoenix and is on the verge of catching one."
"What is a basilisk?" asked Hermione. She has read the book "Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them" and remembers most of the animals that Hagrid mentioned, but she has never heard of a basilisk.
"I do not know much about it except that it is a very powerful snake and was created by a powerful dark wizard. However, basilisks have been extinct for countless years."
According to Edward and the wizarding world's knowledge, the way to create a basilisk is to hatch a chicken egg under a toad. However, after trying this method, Edward realized that things were not so simple as he failed to create a basilisk.
So, he thought of catching the one inside the Chamber of Secrets and studying it next year.
Hermione nodded before saying: "Unfortunately, you cannot keep it."
"Why?"
"According to Wizarding Law, it is illegal for a wizard to keep and raise dragons without the proper permit. Do you have a permit for it?"
"No," replied Hagrid with his head lowered.
"So, you cannot keep it."
"But it is so small. It needs my protection before it can survive on its own. Plus no one has to know!"
"If you do not want to get both you and Professor Dumbledore in trouble, then you cannot keep the dragon," insisted Hermione.
Hagrid sighed but did not say anything more on the matter. But Ron suddenly asked: "How do you know about Wizarding Law?"
"After what Professor Bones said during the First Year Entrance Ceremony about inequality and discrimination, I went to read about the law to see whether he was right."
"So, what was the result?" asked Harry.
"He was right," replied Hermione, rendering the room quiet for a while.
"So, what am I supposed to do now?" asked Hagrid.
"Didn't you say that Professor Edward had many dragons?" replied Hermione. "Ask him if he could help."

So I found that I have writer's block and do not know how to properly end the Harry Potter World, so I rewatched the movies starting with Fantastic Beasts. The scene where countless wizards work together to fix the entire city of New York had me thinking about whether Edward should conquer and unify the wizarding world. In that case, if one day he decided to invade or conquer another world to get what he wants, he will have thousand of wizards at his beck and call. What do you guys think?

______________________
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.
