Second-year, seventh-month of study. Co-wrote a research paper relating to muggle studies with the help of Professor Burbage titled, "How Muggles Think" which focuses on the mindset of no-maj individuals, and how they deal with everyday problems without magic. Inspiring piece of literature that the still Professor uses as her course requirement.

Third-year, second-month of study. Released a book with the help of the then Professor of DADA, owner of a small-chain of bookstores named; "Plantophia" which was going bankrupt at the time.

The said book titled, "Merlin in Britain" — a fictional story about merlin's descendant named Merlin II Abraxaus learning about the no-maj world, and how to live in it without the use of magic. A children's book that received praise and recognition by the Muggle Studies Committee.

Due to this book, Plantophia no longer had to worry about being bankrupt. Third-year forward, released many books with the general public mostly gaining mixed response: "On Magic: About Wizardry" "Muggle Ideology" "No-Maj Magic" and "History of the World"

Fifth-year, eight-month of study. "Borrowed" one of the reserved broomsticks of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and disassembled it. No punishment was given due to Minerva McGonagall's kindness, except for the student to remake the said broomstick never having been officially given back till to this day.

Seventh-year, fourth-month of study. Released Generation I (1), the first-ever Generation of the duel game Monster Cards through the help of Professor McGonagall. This within a day became a highly coveted alchemical product. Prices ranged from the original 3 Silver Sickles each to 1-100 Golden Galleons within the week.

Seventh-year, seventh-month of study. Released the Generation II (2) which has more elements compared to the original; Fire, Water, Earth, and Air elements. This second element has Poison, Electricity, Magma, and finally Ice amongst other types.

But that wasn't all of it, he later released other Generations, the current being Generation XIV (14). After graduation he started a company, "Harp Alchemy Shop".

Under the newly formed company he released alchemical props, the most famous being golems, which evolved into dolls — having basic personalities like the portraits, which was based on the Monster Cards which he owned.

High on demand, low on supplies, this garnered attention which made him very rich in the process. Being a Grand Alchemist at such a young age of 19 years-old.

And that young-man right now is currently whistling to himself, both arms tapping his legs as he sits right in front of the old Headmaster — ready for the interview.

[ "This is a very colorful record you have here Mr. Harp." ]

[ "Grand Alchemist, Master of Craft, Author of the Year, Muggle Studies Professional, Game Master." ]

[ "Do answer my question young Harp. What is it you truly desire in coming back home." ]

Headmaster Dumbledore places down the clipboard which has the resume that he was interestingly reading. The contents having gaps in it from what he could remember.

First off, the frequencies in which he tried to burn the portrait of Headmaster Black was more than he could count. Second off, the frequencies in which he was deducted points, got into fights, and stealing of Hogwarts property was more than the old Headmaster could remember — thankfully it was the Deputy Headmistress who had to worry about that, and not him.

[ "What do I desire...?" ]

Taken aback from the question of the wise old man in front of him, Felix began to ponder on what he truly desires. Hand under his chin, he began to wonder.

What do I truly desire?

In thinking about it, for what felt agonizingly long. Felix finally realized the answer which he wants to tell, the driving force he used throughout his life. From when he was a toddler, to a kid, to finally being a wacky adult.

So without any hesitation he told the answer, a smile plastered on his face while doing so.
