Diagon Alley :
Michael is humming a tone and walking through the street of diagon alley. Many greeted him while Michael waved to them with a smile as a greeting. As he approached the Flourish and Blotts, he is greeted by the sight of bustling shop with many small wizards and witches.
He approached the shop keeper and asked," I'm here for the special order of books. Has the special order been delivered? ", the shop keeper asked for a proof before taking him to the owner. Michael received his special order, books on Alchemy, these are books from centuries ago. Almost reaching the founders of Hogwarts era.
After receiving his order, Michael planned to eat some ice cream. But an exclamation stopped him," mom, look it's big brother Michael ", Michael turned around and saw a little girl with red hair tugging her mother's robe. It's Ginny Weasley.
Then two voices called him," look who it is Fred. Isn't this our senior Michael ", " George, he isn't our senior anymore. He is our professor now ", then both of them said at the same time," oh dear honourable professor. Please don't punish us too harshly at Hogwarts. Afterall we were once partners in crime ".
Michael rolled his eyes and said," stop impersonating both of you. I know you're confusing by calling your twin's name ", then the twins winced in pain as their mother Molly Weasley pinched their ears and said," oh Michael dear. I see you're doing well. Why don't you visit the burrow if you have time. Percy mentioned many times he has many questions in Alchemy. Also thanks for sending those books ".
Michael nodded and said," I'll visit the burrow when I have time ", after exchanging a few words with Molly and winking at the twins, he left the store. He is here to buy some materials for Alchemy. After buying them all in diagon alley he left to his house.
He opened the system, the AFK System. Michael opened the AFK panel and used it.
[ AFK rewards : ]
[ Slight increase in magic quality and reserves ]
[ Patronus Charm Proficiency +1 level ]
[ Legilimancy Proficiency +1 level ]
[ Protego Diabolica Proficiency +1 level ]
Michael nodded. He then closed the AFK panel, not a bad harvest. Michael rolled his sleeves and tried the spells. They're not bad. His AFK panel gave him many kinds of rewards all these years. Except Alchemy which he received only few times. Michael is an Alchemy genius. It's not given by the system.
He learned and invented everything he has by himself in the aspect Alchemy. He isn't shameless enough to claim other's legacy. He worked hard for ut in the last 7 years since his system will give him power and spells, there is no need to play too much focus on it. He focussed on Alchemy instead and made significant contributions to the field.
If Michael is proud of anything in this life, it's his expertise in Alchemy. He even met Nicholas Flamel few times too and discussed things about the philosopher's stone. He even obtained a rare stone slab from ancient times which has the process of making philosopher's stone. Unfortunately many materials are extinct and aren't easy to come by.
After few days Michael packed up everything and left to Hogwarts. When he arrived there is still time before the train can move. A few minutes later a black haired boy with glasses arrived at the compartment and asked," um, can I sit here? Others are all full so ".
The looked hesitant and a little timid. Michael looked at him a little amused and said," take a seat Mr Potter. I don't mind at all ", the boy looked relieved and dragged his trunk into the cabin. Michael snapped his fingers as the trunk settled itself on the rack.
Harry looked amazed and said," woah that's very cool. you must be a senior student at Hogwarts. Can I know your name? And how do you know me? ", Michael chuckled and said," I'm not a student Mr Potter. I'm the new Alchemy professor at Hogwarts. Michael Night. As for you, the scar is enough to recognise you Mr Potter ".
Harry stiffened and said," sorry for being rude sir ", Michael laughed and said," no need to be so stiff. I just graduated from Hogwarts last year. I'm not much different from final years in appearance and wearing Hogwarts robes to prank people. So it's reasonable you'll see like this ".
The cabin door opened again and a red haired boy stuck his head in," others are all full. Mind if I join you? Huh, big bro Michael you're here. Why are you wearing student robes? ", the red haired boy looked at Michael with a stunned gaze.
Michael said," come inside Ron. As for this robes, it's your brothers Fred and George who gave me this suggestion to prank students. How is it? I'm still like a student ain't I? ", Ron trembled when he heard that. His past resufaced, the notorious prankster who occasionally joined his twin brothers in pranking him whenever he visited the burrow.
Ron wanted to walk away but Michael grabbed him into the cabin. Ron looked at Michael blankly. He then turned to Harry Potter before exclaiming," Harry Potter? You're Harry Potter ", the boy flinched for a second before saying," um, yes ".
" I'm Ronald Weasley. Nice to meet you ", Ron turned to Michael and said," big bro, it's Harry Potter. Why aren't you responding? ", Michael asked," so? there is no need to make a fuss. He is also wizard like us. Why look at him like rare animal in zoo? It only makes uncomfortable. Isn't that right Mr Potter ".
Harry Potter looked at Michael and nodded. Ron sighed looking at Michael and said," since you became professor, I should call you professor or sir now. Professor Night, since you became a professor, you need to stop these pranks right? ".
Michael head is full of question marks. There isn't certainly any rule that's says a professor can't be a prankster. He looked at Ron and said," since you say so I'll be serious now. Ronald Weasley, for your earlier disrespect against professor, I'm deducting 20 points from whatever house you're going to be sorted into ".
