After finishing testing his stone, Edward headed to the room where he housed his Gate of World.
After entering, he placed his hand on the gate and used his magic power to activate it, then the door opened from the middle, revealing a greyish-black veil in the shape of a door. Edward stepped inside.
There, he found himself in a white corridor with two doors with labels on top of them: one said Leisure Room, while the other said Core.
The Leisure Room was essentially a vast space that held a large mansion that could probably house more than a hundred people. Without hesitation, Edward walked to the door labeled "Core" and placed his hand on it.
Then another female robotic voice said: "Scanning begins."
This voice was different from Siri's.
"Fingerprints match, eye scan match, physical appearance, 60% match, magical powers: unknown, Bloodline: Unknown, Soul fluctuation: Unknown. Detecting Intruder. Activating Counter-Attack."
Following which, countless spells seemed to be activating around Edward--whose mouth was twitching nonstop.
He forgot that his paranoid side took over him when designing the security measures for the Gate and made so many precautions. Now, due to the fact that he had just gone through a bloodline modification, his body had changed tremendously, hence the reason that the Ai of the Gate did not recognize him.
So, he hurriedly said: "Activate Code: GFU2949IFHUHRG NUR 37480T3 FY73Y493 B7Y537Y359 8 753Y834U 8459635Y7 HUHVUR."
"Processing. Code identified. Granting the highest level of Authority: the Creator/Owner. Welcome Mr. Bones, any commands?"
"Re-scan all my body parameters and use them as the New Security Protocol."
"As you command."
Then Edward spent the next hours rescanning and registering all his parameters: face. Height, bloodline, magical powers, and soul. Only then did he enter the Core Room of the Gate.
Inside the room was another white room about 29 square meters; this room full of writings all over the floor and the walls. Some of these writings were Ancient Runes, while some were enchantments.
After his entrance, Edward started to modify the enchantments in the room while adding a few others. Then, in the very center of the room, he placed the blue Philosopher's Room.
Blue energy line suddenly appeared from the stone traveling throughout the entire room.
"Sir, massive energy output is detected," suddenly said Morgana--which was the name of this particular AI.
"I know. Detect to see whether any of the enchantments are malfunctioning," commanded Edward.
"Scanning. Problem detected with Enchantments #6, 67, 167, 534...."
Edward proceeded to fix the problematic enchantments so they can use the magical power of the stone to function.
The next step in his action was to test the entire Gate, but there was still something else he needed to do. After spending a few days making a special ring, Edward then activated the Gate.
--Scene Break-
Edward was standing in the core room with a holographic image in front of him. Through it, he saw that the Gate was time rapidly going backwards. His laboratory on the moon started to be destroyed or return to its original state.
After traveling to more than a year, Edward found that his Gate was buried deep underground in the moon
After an unknown amount of time, the Gate of Wonder stopped, and Edward had a frown on his face.
'The Gate can travel through time, but not space-time. It seems that my understanding of these two forces is not enough. If I want to perfect this gate, I still have a long way to go,' thought Edward to himself.
"Morgana, did you record all the phenomena that occurred during our time travel trip?"
"Yes, Sir. All energy fluctuation, life form or matter around us was recorded for you to analyze later on."
Edward nodded before taking out the alchemy item that allows him to use the power of the Gate remotely. He placed an Invisible Charm on himself, then he teleported back to Britain on Earth.
After arriving in Diagon Alley, Edward uses Legilimency on a passing wizard to read their memories.
"1926?" he muttered. "This should be the time that the Fantastic Beast Movie took place."
Edward's first reaction was whether his presence could alter time too much, thus causing the disappearance of some future people; he knew that there was a high chance of this happening as there are precedents of people who tried to use the Time-Turner to mess with time.
However, he soon gave up thinking about this as he did not care. As long as his family is not involved, it does not matter to him, And if his family did become involved, then he will use the Gate to go back in time to try to fix it.
Of course Edward did not know that his reckless thinking was a result of his recent increase in magical prowess.
. . .
Soon after landing, Edward did a little investigation while recollecting his memories about all the information he had about the movie. He learned that Newt Scamander had left for America a while ago, so he instantly apparated to a corner he once visited in New York.
Unfortunately for him he forgot that he was in New York 1926 instead of New York 1992. Luckily for him, he did not remove the Invisible Charm, So when he apparated in the middle of a crowd full of muggles, no one actually saw him.
After stealing the wallet of a very wealthy muggle individual, Edward stayed at a luxurious hotel for the night. Before going to bed, he spent a great deal of time planning what he is going to do in this timeline and the benefit he can reap from the plot.
The next day, after getting ready, he took out his own World Wide Marauder's Map. After recalibrating it, he discovered Newt Scamander's whereabouts.
Since the original version already had his name on it, Edward did not need his hair or precious item of his to track. Edward made sure to keep watch of all the people close to Dumbledore--including Newt Scamander, even if he was a retired old man.
Then, without much hesitation, he showed up to Tina and Queenie Goldstein--who were having dinner with Newt and Jacob Kowalski.
After opening the door, Tina frowned as she looked at the handsome young man with blue eyes in front her. She asked with vigilance: "Who are you?"

Tina Goldstein looked at the well-dressed young man in front of her; although the suit looked very expensive, the style was weird and she had never seen it before.
More importantly, she did not recognize the strange wizard that suddenly showed himself in front of her house.
Meanwhile, Edward smiled, then snapped his finger; his clothes then turned into a style more appropriate for the 1920s.
"Sorry about that, I just came from a faraway place. My name is Edward Bones, and I am here to see Mr. Newt Scamander."
After frowning for a while, she let Edward inside the house. Normally, as a former Auror, she would never allow a suspicious wizard like Edward inside her house. However, for some reason, she trusted the young wizard that showed up unannounced in front of her house.
Of course, this was a Charming Charm that Edward used to solicit trust in people he first met. Adding on to his handsome face, it was twice the result.
After entering the house, he saw Newt Scamander, Queenie Goldstein, Jacob Kowalski, and Newt sitting and preparing to eat dinner.
He looked at Jacob before nodding his head, looked at Queenie who had a frown on her face after seeing Edward.
"A very talented Legilimens, however, Miss. Queenie, it is very rude to peep into others' minds," said Edward calmly.
"Since your Occlumency is so powerful, does it matter if I try to take a peek?" replied Queenie with a smile on her beautiful face.
"Since you are a very beautiful woman, I will let this go," said Edward with the same smile as her. Then, he looked at Newt Scamander.
"Mr. Scamander, my name is Edward Bones, it is a pleasure to meet you," said Edward with great enthusiasm as he shook hands with him. Meanwhile, Newt had a puzzled look on his face.
"Do we know each other? Wait, Bones, are you from the Bones family back in the UK?"
"I am a very distant relative," replied Edward calmly.
"Is that so? So what can I do for you?"
"I heard rumors that you were writing a book about Magical Animals, so I came to talk to you personally."
"Are you interested in magical animals as well?" asked Newt excitedly.
Then, the two of them spent the next half hour discussing the issue of magical animals. At first, the conversation was quite cordial, but soon the two of them started arguing.
The reason behind that these knowledgeable magizoologists have different philosophies when it comes to certain issues.
Edward believed that some magical animals were too dangerous and needed to use forceful means to tame them, while Newt believed that all animals--no matter their nature--can be taken care of using the proper method. However, force is never the answer.
'It's nice to see that after so many years, Newt is still the same Newt,' thought Edward to himself. He and Newt had the same argument countless times when he was at Hogwarts.
Edward paused for a moment, turned his head to the other people who were looking at them in shock, smiled before saying: "I am sorry about our behaviors. Sometimes, we just get lost in things that interest us."
Meanwhile, Newt--who did not have Edward's social skill--lowered his head in embarrassment as he looked at his cold food. Nevertheless, Queenie could feel that he was very happy today; most likely, happy to find a person with the same interest as him, and the knowledge to back it up--despite the difference in philosophy.
"It's alright, Mr. Bones," replied Tina as she looked at the already cold food. Edward-noticing the situation--snapped his finger, then the food of everybody in the room was heated up.
As everybody ate their food, he focused his attention on the beautiful witch--Queenie Goldstein--as he started to flirt with her. He did not care about the ugly looks that Jacob was given him.
"So, Mrs. Queenie, what do you do for a living?"
"Just call me Queenie. I work in the Work Permit Office spending most of my days making coffee or unjinxing the johns."
"It's a shame to let such a talented witch such as yourselves do such a menial job."
Queenie gave a deep look at Edward before saying: "Most people see my beauty before they see my talent. You are a different kind of wizard, aren't you, Mr. Bones."
"You can call me Edward. And a lot of people have said these words to me," replied Edward with a charming smile on his face.
"Mr, Bones, how do you feel about the rise of Grindelwald?" suddenly asked Tina. She finally noticed that something was wrong. First, she let Edward inside her house too easily.
Second, Edward knew all of their names without any of them introducing themselves. Adding to that the way that he can so easily use wandless casting, this proves that this young wizard that she let inside her house is possibly very powerful.
Meanwhile, Edward stopped talking to Queenie, looked at her big sister before saying: "It does not matter what I think. What matters is the fact that since so many wizards are willing to show their support to him, it showed that many people share his views and beliefs.
"This should be enough for different leaders in different countries to come together and discuss whether to change the status quo of wizards in this world. Unfortunately, we all know that such a thing will not happen.
"As a result, for the next few years, the entire wizarding world will be embroiled in war under the leadership of a powerful wizard like Grindelwald."
"Grindelwald will be stopped," replied Tina, full of certainty.
"You are wrong, Miss Tina. The only person that can stop him is Albus Dumbledore, but it seems that he has no intention of doing so."
"Maybe he has his reason," suddenly said Newt.
"Maybe he has. But this will change anything, will it?" replied Edward back.
After that, all of them had a slightly joyous meal with Edward spending the majority of time flirting with Queenie, and she, flirting back.
Afterward, Edward said to her: "Queenie, this was the best meal I had in a very long time." Then he said goodbye to everyone and returned to his hotel room.
There, he started to review all the benefits he got tonight.
The main reason that he approached Newt was that he wanted to get his knowledge about Obscurus--especially how he separated them from a person's body--just like he did to the child in Sudan.
During his brief argument with Newt, he briefly mentioned Obscurus. Then, once the memories of that night appeared in his mind, Edward was able to get all the information from him.
He had always wanted to do such a thing to old man Newt, unfortunately, he was also very adept at Occlumency. Edward guessed that after his experience with Queenie, old Newt decided to learn Occlumency.
Of course, Edward could have still read his memory, but he could not do it so sneakily without him knowing like he did today at dinner. After all, Edward still had to behave a certain way in society giving his status and reputation. And forcibly reading a person's memory was not acceptable behavior.
__________
A few words: First, I never plan to create an arc where Edward started to act arrogant and stupid because of his bloodline. The only reason that particular paragraph existed was to show that his sudden increase in strength made him more bold, more willing to ignore the original plot--which he previously thought was a safe way to get benefit while hiding behind the scene.
Second, this the second time that you guys have doubted this author's ability and showed no faith in me. (the first being the time that Death showed up). So, shame on all of you.
Third, as I have already written ten chapters ahead, there will be no person from this timeline as a member of Edward's harem or group.
Pickup Line: Forget about Newt Scamander — I've got a really fantastic beast to show you.
