Chapter 61 - Madeline (1/2)

After Chris was sure that this was his old room, he quickly dressed up from whatever was inside his closet. He then heard a call from outside his room.

”Chris come down and get breakfast!” A familiar woman's voice said.

'It's Mother!' Chris excitedly thought as he went downstairs with his black backpack that was next to his desk. While he was starting to get used to the Evergreen family, the thought of his family back in his old world was always in the back of his mind.

'I wasn't able to do much for them in my past life. Even if it's a fake world created by the diary, I want to do more for them here at least as a final gift,' Chris thought. When he went downstairs, he saw a woman that was around her late 30s.

'Goodness, She looks so young too!' Chris thought. 'I'm really back!'

”Come on Chris, it's time for you to go to school. If you don't eat, you'll be late. It's your last year. You can do it,” His mother said.

”Alright,” Chris said with a smile. He quickly ate the food and left the house after saying goodbye to his mother. As he was walking to school, he was pondering on what to do for the quest.

'The diary said I should become the top 1% in wealth. I'm back in 2006, a year before the housing crisis started so the top 1% should have a net worth of around $4-$5 million,' Chris thought. 'Luckily, I followed the stock market quite closely so I should be able to earn some money. Wait, but even if I use that method, it'll take at least a couple of weeks or even months before I'm able to make evena million dollars out of that. Is there any other way I can earn money?' Chris thought.

He continued walking down the familiar road that he used to walk every day for 4 years. Soon he arrived at Burroughs High School, his alma mater. Burroughs High was relatively big for a high school with a main building and a couple of other buildings and bungalows. However, Chris knew that compared to a college, his high school campus was nothing.

'To think I was getting lost in this place when I attended here,' Chris thought. When he entered, there was a huge row of papers pasted onto the walls. Chris looked for his last name and quickly found it. He then ran to the room of his class just as the bell rung and he sat next to a girl he hadn't seen in a long time.

”Hey Madeline,” Chris greeted.

”Hey Chris,” Madeline said with a smile. She was someone that Chris could call extremely beautiful, on par with Emma Watson, someone Chris had idolized for at 2 decades. She had platinum blond hair with a large blue eyes that captivated every boy at school. Her hourglass figure and plump lips made her look sėxier than most models that Chris saw online or in magazines. Her face did not have a single sign of blemish and the most make-up she ever used were lipsticks which always amazed Chris as she looked better than 90% of models that wore heavy make-up. To perfect her already perfect looks, she was extremely rich as her family was old money. Chris has always wondered why she attended a regular public school, but he didn't pry.

The two met as Chris was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She was a Potterhead as well allowing the two to connect very well. However, romantic feelings never sprouted for Chris as he only saw Madeline as a Potterhead buddy. Madeline noticing that Chris didn't ŀust for her opened up to him allowing the two to create a deep friendship that lasted even until Chris was suċkėd into the Wizarding World.

'Come to think of it, Madeline would be so jealous that I'm in the Wizarding World. She would kill to be there,' Chris thought.

”So we're in the same class again,” Madeline said with a smile.
