Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard-Chapter 28: Death (1)

Under Harry Potter's lead, Edward was led to the room where Dumbledore placed the Mirror of Erised.

After entering, Edward saw the gold framed mirror with the words " Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" written on them. Meaning, "I show not your face but your heart's desire."

"Professor, this mirror has been showing me my parents," elaborate Harry after entering the room.

Edward nodded before starting to examine the mirror. As an alchemist, he was fascinated by ancient items like this one. Suddenly, Edward's eyes turned purple; this was a spell he developed that allows him to examine any new items that he first meets.

The gist of this spell is that Edward's eyes will scan the item, then he will rapidly recall all the knowledge inside his head and compare to see whether he recognizes any of the materials or enchantments that were placed on said item.

For example, after scanning the Mirror of Erised, Edward instantly knew all the materials that the mirror was made of. As for the enchantment that allows one to see their innermost desires, although he did not recognize it, the spell he used to scan the mirror will also show Edward possible ways to achieve the same effect.

This spell--which Edward calls Alchemy Eye--allows him to easily study any alchemy item or artifacts as long as he first sees and touches them, and as long as his knowledge reserve is enough to create it. And it is not, this spell will give him hints on how to go about it.

After finishing analyzing the mirror, Edward then looked directly at it.

"What do you see, professor?" asked Harry Potter.

"I see myself as one of the most powerful wizards of all time. My parents are also alive and well. I am accompanied by a harem of beautiful women, traveling across multiple universes and dimensions, in the pursuit of knowledge and truth."

"Professor," exclaimed Harry. Although he was young, he knew what the word harem of women meant.

"There is no need to be embarrassed, Potter. You know, as the savior, it is not that hard for you to have a harem of your own."

However, Harry Potter just blushed and lowered his head. He did not comment further on the subject.

A few seconds later, Edward then said:

"I am sure you are aware that the thing shown in the mirror is false, and dwelling on them is not a healthy way to live."

"I know, professor, but I just could not help it."

"I can somewhat understand how you feel as I have also lost my parents. And I have been luckier than you as I had more than 12 years with them before they were gone," replied Edward.

If you think about it, he has lost his parents twice already. The first time was in his previous life; he lost his parents during a car accident when he was in high school. Oddly enough, Edward also died in a car accident years later.

The second time was when he lost his parents during the First Wizarding War. Although Edward believes that he will bring them back to life one day, he does not know for sure whether there will be complications in the process.

As for his parents from his previous life, well, it is not possible to bring them back to life. Maybe later after he becomes more powerful. However, Edward had a feeling that it might simply be impossible.

"Professor, I have been curious about something, but I do not know whether to ask?" said Harry Potter.

"Go ahead Potter, if I know the answer, I will gladly answer you."

"What do wizards know about death?"

"What do you mean by that, Potter?"

After taking a few seconds to organize his language, Harry then explained: "Well, in the muggle world, there are different religions that explain what happens to people after death. But I was wondering about wizards' views on the subject. After all, wizards are capable of many things; maybe they have a certain understanding of death."

Edward took a deep look at Harry for a few seconds before saying:

"What you are talking about, Potter is considered a form of a taboo amongst wizards. No ordinary wizard will pursue death and the magic related to it."

"Professor, I do not think that you are the kind of person that lets things like taboo get in your way."

"You are correct, Mr. Potter," replied Edward. After a few seconds of silence, he asked: "Have you heard of the story of the Peverell Brothers?"

"No."

Then Edward proceeded to tell him about the story, about how the three brothers evaded death while crossing a bridge, then Death itself showed up and gave each of them a prize that led to their eventual death. However, he did not mention the Deathly Hallows.

"What does that have to do with anything, professor?" asked Harry, very confused.

"The reason I am telling you this story is because Death in the story is not just a legend, but a real entity. And I've met him personally."

I have just finished watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, and I have become inspired to add it as part of this story. I mean Obscurus are too OP.
