1 Back in 1980

It was 6 am when I woke up, the first thing I thought was: 'This is not my Apartement'. Looking around I realized that this is my old Room, when I still lived with my Parents. The Room looked like I never left, well when I look around it's like I really never moved out. Clothes littered the floor and the Closet Door was wide Open, my desk was a dump of rubbish. The window in my Room was Open and I could look outside, when sitting on my old bed.

As I looked around I noticed the calendar, I stood up and walked over to my Door where the calendar was attached, besides the calendar was a mirror. When I stood before the mirror I couldn't help but stare. I looked like I was 18 again, you know before Today I was an 69 year old man.

I looked me up and down, I have back my Black shoulder length hair. Blue eyes and a well chiseled face, I must say without being narssistic ' I am Handsome'. I walked towards my closet wondering why I'm here. I opened my Closet Door and I was greeted with Black, there was no other Color I could identify. Now that I think about it, I think when I was 18 I had this some sort of phase that lasted for 15 years where I only wore Black. I think they called it Goth, or was it Dark. Not Important, I quickly wore my Clothes and walked downstairs.

When I arrived in the Kitchen, I saw my Mother making, what looks like, scrambled eggs and my father sitting at the Table reading his newspaper. On the front Page I could see the employementrate has risen to 6.32 %. With that I deduce I am in 1980, how I exactly know it, well firstly my calendar said it, on the Newspaper is the year of 1980 and well my Parents are alive and I look like I am 18 again.

When I enter the Kitchen, I say "Good Morning, Mom , Dad." "Morning" They both answer simultaneously. I sit down, opposite of my Father and began eating the already, readied Breakfast. Mom too, sits down and begins to eat in silence, until my father asks. "Robert, you gratuated last month and it's time whether you go to college or start working job, so what are you going to do, son ?

I look at him and began thinking. After a short time thinking I decided ,that even with my Future knowledge I now have, that I better go to college so that I have some sort of knowledge foundation, it is not going to be difficult to begin with, because of my eidetic memory and high Intelligence. And with a college degree, people are going to listen to me, even if I am only 18 years old, it's like a guarantee that I am not an Idiot.

After my short thought process I answer: " I plan to go to Harvard, Law departement." I choose this because I didn't know which other departements Harvard has and I think studying law is going to help me build my Company. My dad looks surprised, but than calms down adn says : " Well, whatever you choose I am going to support you, if you really want to go to Harvard I could ask an old friend of mine to help you, when your joining Harvard.

I am really surprised that he knows someone at Harvard, but I am not too surprised. He is a Professor at a Unversity, so it is possible that he knows someone from Harvard. Now that I mention it, I could easily publish some Books with the help of my mom. To clear your eventually confusion, my Mom owns a Bookshop, not to big, but I am going to bet that in the past 15 years of her owning the Shop, that she has some connections to other Bookstores and publisher's.

Anyway, thinking about that and we already finished eating and my father and I formulated a application for Harvard and send it. Now I have to only wait 2 - 3 Months before my time at Harvard begins.

After some Days getting used to my old life, I noticed that I could recall, everything that got ever written in History of Humanity. I can 'remember' documents from 2000 b.c and more. With that I got the Idea to when the time comes create something that lets me live longer, but for that I have not enough practically knowledge and money.

After finding out I directly began writing some Popular books, I needed 3 days to rewrite The first Book of the Harry Potter series. ' Sorry, J.K, not sorry' . After I written it I decided to ask my Mom to let it be published and how she thinks it is. So I got downstairs and said: " Mom, could you read this book, I decide to write it and wanted to ask your opinion and if you could somehow arrange that it could be published ??"

After I gave my Mom the Book, I decided to make myself something to eat. After making something to eat and eating it, I walked back into the living room, where my mother was still reading my book. I sat down opposite of her and after one hour of waiting for my Mother to finish reading my Book.

After she finished it and looked at me and questioned: " Did you really write it yourself ?? " I nodded my head to her question and said : " Yes, I wrote it over the past weeks " She again looked at me and after some time she finally said: " Your Book was great and I too could let it be published with the help of some of my friends. Besides that I guarantee you that I try to get you the most benefits I can get " I smile at her promise and nod.

After waiting some days, my Mother said during Breakfeast : "I contacted some of my Friends and they agreed to publish your book, you are going to get 16 % of the royalties of the Bookprice of 25 Dollar, which is a lot for a newcomer, I might add." " Thank you Mom, when are the books avaible in the Stores, any specific date ??" I ask exited. " Yes, they said beginning the next month Your books are going to be avaible in the Bookstore's " I beam from exitement, I know that they are going to be succesfull, but it is still the first Book I publish, even when it's not really my Book.

Doing quick math in my Head, I even get more exited. When one book sells for 25 Dollar and I get 16%, I get for every Book I sell, 4 Dollars. When you than multiply that by the number of people that bought Harry Potter, in my last life, approximate 120 million. I am going to get 480.000.000 million Dollars.

A month later

Today is the day that my Book's are going to get sold, in the Bookstore's. Besides this important event, there is another and that is my Acceptance Letter from Harvard, saying that they would like to see me Attend the University Harvard. Isn't that exiting, in my last life I didn't even think about attending Harvard, I always thought that it would be a waste of time and that with my intellect, I would even without a College degree, get a good job and would make career easily, but I was in the wrong. I achieved nothing. But anyway, this month nothing really happened, but me rewriting the complete Harry Potter series and planning what to do with the money I am going to get with the first Book.

Well, I planned to firstly buy a house, but decided against it. Not until I get the College degree, but I have another thing to do and that is getting my Body and mind in good shape or better.

The next morning

When I get down I see my Father sitting in his usual place, but my Mother was nowhere to be seen. " Dad, where Mom ?? " " I think she is on the Telephone with someone" He answers. I sit down and began eating, not waiting for my Mother because she is speaking. Half time through our meal, Me and my Father got interrupted by my Mother hastily walking inside the Kitchen. We both look at her and before getting the chance to question her she begins talking. " Son, the publisher from your Book just now called and said that your book sold 50.000 times already and per agreement he already transferred your sum of Money onto your Bank Account." She finished speaking and I said in my Head 'First 200,000 Dollars'. Answering my Mom: " Good, it wasn't how much I expected, but 200.000 Dollars is still a lot of Money."

After that sentence my Father looked at me wide eyed and said: " 200.000 Dollars, did I hear you right ?" I nod at his question, confused. Didn't he know about my agreement with the Publisher. Ahh, well even if he knew about it, he would have reacted the same, I mean when if I didn't know that it would sell well I would be surprised too.
