Chapter 73: Chapter 73 The Second Identity
After a brief battle, the three sat down in the yard again.
Susan's eyes when looking at Damon had completely changed - it was as if she was looking at a completely unfamiliar species. Rather than admiration, it was more like incomprehension.
Her pupils were dilated, and she remained silent throughout the whole process, struggling to digest everything she had just seen - her aunt, the director of the Department of Magical Enforcement, was killed instantly by the dueling prince during a sparring match.
How could she have such a dream?
"Before I experienced it with my own eyes, if someone told me that a first-year wizard could reach your level, even if Dumbledore was backing me up, I would definitely have doubts."
Amelia looked at Damon, digesting the shock in her heart in a slow tone.
"So you came to me to spread the news of Voldemort's return through the Ministry of Magic?"
"No - in fact, I don't think you can do it."
"You should know that I'm the director of the Department of Law Enforcement? As long as I want, I can see Fudge at any time and hold a major meeting within the Wizengamot. Even so, do you think so?"
"Yes, and I implore you not to tell anyone about Voldemort's return - you can make preparations and find out the truth in your own way, but I hope you don't spread it within the Ministry of Magic - especially don't tell Fudge."
Amelia frowned, "You don't trust Minister Fudge?"
"You might as well find an opportunity to test his attitude. I dare say that Voldemort's return will scare him to death. Even if you put a mountain of hard evidence in front of him, he can pretend to ignore it.
Such a stupid person must wait for Voldemort to come to him and take his life. Until the last moment of his death, he may believe that all this has become a fact."
". Do you have a grudge against Fudge?"
"No, in fact, I have no opinion about him."
"I understand. I will consider what you said carefully. So - what do you want to do by coming to me?"
Amelia was more cautious than Damon had imagined. He raised his lips slightly and said the biggest purpose of his trip:
"I hope to change my identity and join the Ministry of Magic as an intern Auror."
Amelia raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Do you know what it takes to become an Auror?"
"Generally speaking, we require wizards to pass at least 5 NEWT exams, and the grades must not be lower than "E", and you also need to pass the three-year stealth and disguise exams."
While Amelia was explaining, Damon just looked at her with a faint smile, and she gradually couldn't say anything.
"Does Dumbledore agree to this?"
"He is embarrassed to break the rules in public, so I can only come here privately."
Damon waved his wand and suddenly an eyebrow pencil brush jumped out of his suitcase, and he dipped it in various colors of cosmetics and began to apply them.
In less than a minute, his face was already covered with delicate makeup, and his whole face changed from a naive boy to a mature middle-aged gentleman. His temperament was mature and steady, and only his azure eyes were still full of spirit.
"What do you think of this image?"
Amelia watched the whole process with a look of surprise on her face. As far as she knew, only Nymphadora, who mastered the Disguise Magus, could change her appearance at will. How could the boy in front of her achieve it in disguise through this method?
"It's amazing. This is simply an alternative polyjuice potion, except that it doesn't change the appearance."
"Oh, this is a rare method that can be called magic for Muggles. It's called 'makeup'."
Damon put his face close to Amelia and said,
"You can try to scratch it with your finger."
"Excuse me."
Amelia stretched out her finger and poked the boy's right cheek. It felt very tender. She took back her finger, and there was a layer of fine powder on it.
"I see, this is what Muggles call 'cosmetics'?"
"Oh - you know this?"
"The director of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Muggle Articles likes Muggle things very much. He mentioned this to me, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
In this way, the identity problem was solved by him first. As for the certificate - Amelia looked at Damon, imagining the boy's previous powerful spell skills, and her heart was shaken.
Auror is a very dangerous profession. There is no doubt that it is somewhat irresponsible to let the previous child engage in this job.
But facing such a powerful wizard, if you still judge him only by age, it seems a bit ridiculous.
Moreover, with such a powerful Auror joining the team, the number of Auror casualties each year will probably drop sharply.
Although Amelia is fair, she is not old-fashioned - in fact, people who can stand in a high position in the power department without losing their original intentions are much more cunning than those bad guys.
Otherwise, they would never have come to that step surrounded by wolves.
"I have one last question. What is your current relationship with Dumbledore?"
"Oh - he is my teacher."
Damon's tone was relaxed, but it sounded like a depth charge to Amelia!
Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard who has lived for more than a hundred years, actually accepted an apprentice?
At a critical time when Voldemort might return?
"Here, this is our token."
The boy took off the silver ring on his middle finger and threw it into Amelia's hand. She subconsciously caught it.
A loud cry suddenly rang in Amelia's ears, and a blazing firebird appeared in her mind, staring at her with indignation.
Phoenix This is the phoenix's ring.
She hurriedly handed the ring back to Damon, with a rare panic on her face - she was really a little out of control because of the facts one after another.
"It asked me to tell you not to give it to others casually."
"Oh - Fawkes? It has a bad temper."
Damon smiled and put the ring back on his finger.
Amelia let out a long breath, a little bit unable to make a decision - the influence of this boy is visible to the naked eye. If he is allowed to join the Ministry of Magic, what will happen in the future, no one can predict.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Dumbledore pushed him here.
Ha! He himself is embarrassed to use the back door, but the student has to beg her? It seems that Dumbledore is not as honest as he appears!
But in any case, this is Dumbledore's student. If Damon came here, it was at Dumbledore's instruction.
"If I make an exception for you, how are you going to participate in the Auror training course starting in October? Do you have to take a leave of absence?"
"Uh - in fact, I hope you can help me apply for permission to Apparate in advance, so that I can go back and forth between the Ministry of Magic and the school - in addition, the problem of the trace thread may also need to be solved."
"."
Amelia was silent.
However, when she thought of herself who was extremely good at dueling, she couldn't even withstand a spell from the boy in front of her, and the other party was Dumbledore's disciple, and the other party was so young - although youth means immaturity, it also means a bright future.
The other party's future was not something she could imagine. Even if she rejected him here, it would only slow down his growth.
But with Dumbledore supervising behind him, did she really need to worry so much?
Amelia looked up and found that Damon was just quietly waiting for her to make a decision, as if he would not be disappointed no matter what her answer was.
Looking at Damon like this, she suddenly felt an impulse in her heart and simply said:
"Okay, I promise you!"
