Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 3 Inheritance
It looks like he is really dead."

After waiting for about five minutes and seeing that the old wizard didn't move, George carefully pushed the door and walked in.

After testing the old wizard's breathing and making sure he was truly dead, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He would definitely not be a match for a dark wizard in his seventies or eighties in a head-on battle.

He protected his body with the Armor Spell, and then a simplest Stunning Spell could easily knock him down.

As a dark wizard, to be able to live to such an old age, he must be very capable and may even have some powerful hidden cards.

The reason he was able to kill with a sneak attack like this was not because of his great abilities, but because the opponent was completely unprepared.

After confirming that the old wizard was dead, George pretended to be panicked, quickly pushed open the closed shop door, and ran towards Diagon Alley.

He didn't shout in Knockturn Alley, as that might have attracted some dark wizards with ill intentions before attracting the Aurors.

"Oh no! Oh no! Mr. Morton was injured in an explosion while making a potion. Is there anyone who can come and save him?"

After George ran to Diagon Alley, he started shouting and screaming in panic, as if his father had really died.

Soon, two Aurors patrolling nearby were attracted to him.

"Take us there quickly!"

Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are places where wizards and dark wizards gather. Aurors patrol here almost 24 hours a day to prevent any incidents from appearing in the news and affecting the Ministry of Magic, especially the reputation of the Minister.

Besides, it is the beginning of the school year, and many little wizards are brought by their parents to do some shopping.

"Director Scrimgeour, after testing, no magical fluctuations were found in the second wand, and no property was lost. The possibility of homicide was ruled out. It can be confirmed that the death was an accident caused by potion refining."

In Merton's Potion Shop, a female wizard with pink hair, a pale heart-shaped face, and about eighteen or nineteen years old was reporting the results of the investigation to the middle-aged wizard standing opposite George.

The middle-aged wizard nodded with satisfaction after hearing this:

"Very detailed analysis, Tonks. It seems that Mad-Eye has taught you well this year. If you follow his example carefully, you will be able to become a real Auror in two years."

"Although Mr. Moody has a bad temper, it is my honor to study with him."

The witch showed a hint of pride on her face.

Although Alastor Moody has retired long ago, he is still a well-known Auror in the wizarding world. More than half of the dark wizards in Azkaban were sent by him.

Being able to receive guidance from such a retired Auror during the Auror preparation period made other Aurors of the same class very envious.

George, who was eavesdropping at this time, turned his eyes away after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Scrimgeour, Head of the Auror Office, is that the same Rufus Scrimgeour who later succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic?
And Tonks, the Nymphadora Tonks of Metamorphmagus?"

He carefully recalled his memories of his previous life and gradually had some impression of the identities of the two people in front of him.

After succeeding Cornelius Fudge as the new Minister for Magic, Scrimgeour took a very tough stance against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Then he was brutally murdered by Voldemort.

And this Tonks was born with the ability to change her appearance at will. It seems that she even married Professor Lupin in the end. Unexpectedly, she just graduated and has not yet been hired as a full-time employee.

It seems like Professor Lupin is really an old man who is looking for young grass.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that he knows that Scrimgeour and Tonks are both relatively responsible Aurors, which is a good thing for him now.

Are Aurors necessarily good people?
Not always.

Corruption is rampant in the Ministry of Magic today, and many Aurors are involved.

If he met a greedy Auror, it would be hard to say how much of the inheritance he would be able to inherit.

"What a poor child! He was adopted with great difficulty, but now he's an orphan again." After handing the investigation report to the director, Tonks turned to look at George with sympathy in her eyes.

After the investigation just now, she naturally knew the background of this thin boy.

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe it's a good thing for him."

However, upon hearing Tonks's sigh, Scrimgeour shook his head.

As the director of the Auror Office, he had been in the industry for so many years and knew very well what kind of people the wizards in Knockturn Alley were like.

From the boy's thin and scarred body, he had already seen through the trick and guessed most of it.

That's why it is said that this is a good thing for the little boy. At least he can inherit a considerable inheritance and go to Hogwarts to study.

"Child, your name is Dora, right? Because Mr. Merton died unexpectedly, you are my only relative, so...

Scrimgeour came up to George and gave him a brief account of the situation.

There are two main points.

One is that George can inherit the dark wizard's shop and the money saved in Gringotts.

Second, the dark wizard died, and there was no one to teach George magic, so he had to go to Hogwarts to study.

Both of these points were within George's expectations, and he readily agreed.

During the entire investigation, he did not appear to be too sad.

Because it was too fake, and he didn't have such good acting skills that he could fool Scrimgeour, who was obviously a veteran.

But in the end he made a request.

"Sir, I don't want to use the name Dora anymore. Can I change my name?"

He was not familiar with the name Dora, so if possible, he should change it back to George, which sounded better.

"Of course, Miss Tonks will take you through all the inheritance formalities tomorrow. If you need, she can also help you change your name."

Scrimgeour was not too surprised by George's request. He thought George might want to forget some bad memories in this way.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

At this time, Tonks stepped forward, pressed her hand on George's head, and rubbed it gently.

She was not stupid, and she had already sensed something from the conversation between the director and George.

"Thank you very much, Miss Auror."

Hearing this, George thanked him very politely.

It's certainly not a bad thing to have the opportunity to get in touch with the Aurors, especially since he might need their help in the future.

Knockturn Alley is not a good place. He inherited the legacy of a dark wizard, just like a child walking on the street with a piece of gold, which will definitely attract envy.

I dare not do anything openly, but it is hard to say what I will do secretly.

"What a sensible boy."

Seeing that George was so sensible and polite at such a young age, Tonks immediately felt more favorable towards him.

For adults, most of them don’t hate children that much. What they really hate are those naughty children and their naughty parents.

If you meet an obedient and polite child, many people are willing to help.
