Inside the house. Alexander, Arthur, and Ginni were seated at the dining table. He didn't have any place to stay or money to rent a room and it was already night. So, he was invited by the Weasley couple to stay with them.
Alexander didn't see any problem with that and they also had empty rooms as Bill and Charlie had moved out. He had told them that he would pay rent for the room later.
On the dining table, Arthur and Alexander were talking to each other while all the others were listening and setting up the table.
"Mr. Universe, how do you look so young even after being so old? I an, if you had black hair right now, I'd assu that you are probably in your 40s." Arthur asked with much interest.
"Well, I traveled a lot and found many new magical plants and items. I look permanently younger due to certain failed yet lucky experints. Failed because my hair didn't turn back to black" he made up the answer.
"Then, if one day you are able to perfect your experint, be sure to share it with
mister Universe. I'd certainly wanna look younger" Molly Weasley chipped in while blushing and rubbing her cheeks.
"Absolutely, you'd be my first user, I promise," Alexander assured.
He really had an idea about making an anti-aging ointnt.
~Those rich pure-blood bitc... I an witches would go crazy over it, even if I sell it at a high cost~ he inwardly thought.
After dinner, he went to the second floor where the room was. It was Bill's room. Now it only had a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. He used scourgify to clean the room to perfection.
After that, he changed his clothes to a night suit and went to sleep. It had been a long day for him.
...
The next day he woke up early, cleaned himself, and dressed up in his usual clothes. Today, he was going to visit the Gringotts. He thought that if he has such a legendary past then he must have a bank account with so money too.
He went down to the dining hall and found everyone already at the table.
"Oh, sorry if I delayed your breakfast." he apologized.
"No. no... we just sat down a minute ago," Molly said and put a plate for him.
"So, what's your plan for today, Mr. Universe?" Arthur asked while eating his food.
"I'll visit Gringotts and so other shops in Diagon Alley today. But I need a guide as it's been a very long ti since I've been there," Alexander stated and took a bite from his plate.
"That's easy. Take Ron with you, because he just lazes around in the house every day doing nothing and dreaming about going to Hogwarts." Molly suggested with a slightly irritated tone.
"That would be amazing, Molly." he cheerfully agreed.
...
An hour and a half later, they arrived in Diagon Ally via floo network. The street didn't look as crowded as it was shown in the movies most of the ti. Probably because the Hogwarts year had already started.
His first stop was Gringotts. Ron was happily leading the way.
Alexander walked slowly while looking around and he had only one thought at that ti.
~Who designed these buildings.~
All the buildings in the Diagon alley looked disfigured. Even the Gringotts bank. He couldn't understand what advantage would creating such an ugly structure give.
Soon, they entered the bank. They walked through the long open hallway with long counters. Goblins could be seen working with their forever grumpy faces.
He walked to the end of the hallway to the head Goblin.
"Ahem... I would like to withdraw money from my account," he requested.
"Na?" The head Goblin asked without looking up.
"Alexander Maxim Universe," he proudly announced.
Suddenly the pen from the head Goblin's hand fell and stretched out his ugly head to properly look at him.
He then hurriedly picked up a paper and gave it to Alexander.
"Put a blood drop on it to confirm Identity,"
Alexander did as he was asked. Just as the blood touched the paper, it started to shine. He also noticed that Head Goblin's face fell a little.
"Okay, Handuk will take you to your vault and open it." head Goblin said, soon another Goblin ca and asked them to follow him.
Alexander guessed that his Vault must have high security, which is why it was opened by a designated Goblin and not the key. They reached the vault after a long ride on a speedy cart. Ron was still with him. Soon he beca even more confused when he noticed that a Sphinx was guarding his Vault area.
When he looked at the vault number, he had a strange feeling because it was number 69.
He wondered what was in the vault that it needed the protection of a Sphinx. Soon, the question was answered. The vault's door opened and he saw the room filled with gold galleons, touching the roof.
Then his eyes noticed a paper on the counter on the left. He looked at it and understood everything. The letter wrote.
'How's it going, son? I am feeling bored, by the way, good job with the last world. I left you a present for such good work. Also, how does it feel to be the wealthiest known wizard?'
Alexander smiled and burnt the letter. He then looked at Handuk.
"Hay, Handuk. How much money is in here?" He asked.
"1.590 Billion Gold galleons to be exact," Handuk painfully replied.
Alexander did the conversion in his mind and was disappointed. It was just 13.650 billion US dollars. He had hundreds of billions in his past life so this wasn't much.
"Can you tell , who is the wealthiest wizard with a bank account in here?" he asked.
"Sorry, I can not disclose secrets" Handuk denied.
Alexander smiled and picked up 5 gold galleons and gave it to him. He knew that goblins were greedy sons of bitc*s.
Handuk happily took the money and answered.
"It's you and you are most certainly the richest wizard in British wizarding, if not the world," he stated.
Surprised by the answer, he asked for who the second and third were. Handuk showed unwillingness to answer and Alexander once again threw so money to him.
"The 3rd is Lucius Malfoy with 321,285,145 Galleons ($1.6 billion) and 2nd is Bellatrix Lestrange 421,686,753 Galleons ($2.1 billion). Now, no more questions." Handuk irritatedly said.
Now Alexander understood why the head Goblin's face fell at the authenticity of his identity. If he had never co back to claim the money then it would have belonged to Gringotts.
Alexander decided to take everything away. He sucked all the money into his dinsional space. He noticed a big chest was also being sucked and decided to open it later on.
anwhile, Ron and Handuk had their Jaws dropped to the floor. Ron had that expression because of the crazy amount of money and Handuk because of the crazy amount of money just vanished.
Alexander still left a thousand Gallons in it because he didn't want to close the vault permanently. He reckoned that he might still use it soday.
...
Then they returned back to the Diagon Alley and continued on their way. He thought that Ron might feel bored so he gave him 2 galleons and told him to go and eat sothing.
He then headed to Flourish and Blotts to buy so books about anything he could find. He knew that he wouldn't find any old books but still, he went there.
There he bought all the interesting books and books on Law. From there he headed to the Obscurus books. There he bought Fantastic beasts and where to find them, plus so other books on animals.
He couldn't find any significant book on alchemy or runes and no book about dark arts. So, he went to Knockturn Alley.
There he bought so books on dark arts and runes and also a book that piqued his interest. It was never ntioned in the movies. The book was called Eternal Darkness. He still could not find good books on alchemy.
He deduced that most of the good books must be strictly regulated and the best way to read them would be to either go to Hogwarts or infiltrate so ancient family's houses.
He returned back and headed to the Ollivanders.
The shop was open and Garrick Ollivander was cleaning so wands.
"Welco, Mr.?"
"Universe, Alexander Maxim Universe"
Garrick Ollivander's eyes shone at the ntion of his na.
"haha... so, the legend returns. What can I do for you today, Mr. Universe?" Garrick politely asked.
"I am looking for a wand. I've never really felt a need to use a wand, but I want to try it, once" Alexander answered.
"Yes, yes... Wands can help wizards and witches to create a more powerful spell... but again, the wand chooses its wielder so I can not say anything until we try," Garrick said and went to the side to bring so wands
