Chapter 60: Gentleman George

By eleven o'clock, the entire school began heading to the Quidditch pitch.

As George passed by the Gryffindor team, he spoke to Harry: "Don't worry too much. To ensure fairness, I've already suggested to our head of house that, except for Malfoy using his Nimbus 2001, the rest of us will stick to our previous brooms."

Indeed, that was precisely the topic of Flint's earlier discussion with him.

For George, winning with the Nimbus 2001 would only make people attribute the vict...

Chapter 59: The Freezing Charm

"It seems our Miss Hermione is truly well-suited for Gryffindor," George quipped, unable to resist teasing.

Hermione and Professor McGonagall were cut from the same cloth—on the surface, they appeared strict and rule-abiding, but deep down, they were more adventurous than anyone.

Eighty percent of Harry and Ron's rule-breaking escapades were inspired by Hermione.

George suspected that Hermione's anger at Harry and Ron at the start of the term wasn't because they had gotten...

Chapter 58: The Basilisk Strikes

On October 31st, the eve of Halloween, George was greeted by the sweet and enticing aroma of roasted pumpkin as he walked into the castle's Great Hall in the morning.

Breakfast that day revolved entirely around pumpkin dishes, most likely made from Hagrid's extensive stockpile of ingredients.

To be fair, the house-elves' culinary skills were exceptional, explaining why Tonks often said she missed Hogwarts food. Even George, who wasn't particularly fond of Western cuisine, occasion...

Chapter 57: The Studious George

On the other side, George had once again immersed himself in the rhythm of studying and researching magic.

Over at Tony Stark's end, Wolverine was keeping watch, so there wasn't much to worry about.

Besides, Tony Stark wasn't foolish; it wouldn't be easy for Obadiah to eliminate him.

Even if something unexpected did happen and Stark got taken out, it couldn't be helped. At most, the stocks would plummet, and he'd lose some money. But with greater power in the future, there w...

Chapter 56: A Horde of Mutant Clones

At the same time, at the headquarters of Alkali Transigen Genetics Corporation:

Zander Rice stood before rows of glass containers housing muscular bodies connected to intricate instruments. As he reviewed his latest experimental data, he couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter.

"I knew I could achieve this! Soon, I will rule this world. Every nation will bow to me, and I shall become Earth's sole monarch!"

Although his previous attempt to use X-24 to ...

Chapter 55: Peak Wolverine

"Is the equipment ready?" George asked after hearing Stephen's diagnostic report.

"It will arrive tomorrow morning," Stephen replied.

"Great. Based on your assessment, how long will it take for them to recover?" George inquired further, not sounding too disappointed despite the findings.

While it was unfortunate that Professor X wouldn't be able to use his powers freely anymore, it wasn't entirely a bad thing for George.

If Professor X regained full control of his abil...

Chapter 54: The Kidnapping of Stephen Strange

"What's your name again?"

On the rooftop the next day, George looked at the tall man in a suit before him, a look of surprise crossing his face.

The man arrogantly straightened his suit and replied, "Stephen Strange. Let me warn you: this is kidnapping! What you're doing is illegal, and I will sue you!"

'This guy... isn't he be the future Doctor Strange?'

George turned to Leon beside him and asked, "What's going on?"

"The other doctors agreed to come aft...

Chapter 53: You’re Actually Pretty Nice

"Turns out money is what saved me in the end."

Tony let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Of course, in the eyes of others, he was nothing more than a war profiteer manufacturing weapons of destruction. The fact that his weapons had ended up in the hands of these terrorists was undeniable, making this situation a natural consequence.

Aside from those with vested interests, who else would go out of their way to save a weapons dealer?

"Other than your money, it seems there's...

Chapter 52: Truth and Lies

Bang!

A sniper round shot out, curving slightly under George's magnetic influence before hitting the bald leader squarely in the temple, killing him instantly.

The sudden death of their leader left the terrorists stunned, followed quickly by chaos and panic. However, among them were experienced fighters who quickly deduced the general direction of the sniper shot and unleashed a storm of retaliatory fire in that direction, even deploying rocket launchers.

'<...

Chapter 51: Frenzy of the Serpents

"It should be around here."

After a thorough search, George realized that the magical arrow kept fluctuating within a hundred-meter radius. He instructed Issa to keep the plane hovering in stealth mode above the area while he jumped directly from the aircraft.

"Found it."

Hovering over a valley by the desert, George used binoculars to locate a crude military base built beside a cave. The base was littered with missiles branded with Stark Industries' logo, while poorly dresse...

Chapter 50: Heading to Afghanistan

The next day, dark clouds loomed, and a drizzle shrouded New York City.

In the Bronx's high-end cemetery, Old Carlson stood leaning on a cane, gazing at his son's gravestone. The sorrow of an elder burying their child welled up within him, and a few tears fell from his fierce face.

"Let's go. We have more important matters to handle today," he said.

Wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, Old Carlson turned and walked away, escorted by his subordinates.

Not far f...

Chapter 49: Murder or Accident?

Nighttime, in the Bronx, within the most luxurious nightclub on the Carlson family's turf.

Deafening music filled the air as men and women twisted their bodies frantically. Onstage, provocative performances played out, while in the corners, junkies high on illegally purchased substances indulged in their escape.

George sat at the bar, casually sipping his drink as his eyes scanned the room for his target.

According to the intel from Leon, this nightclub under the Carlson fam...

Chapter 48: Eight Tracking Spells

"I-I don't know what you're talking about. How would I know where Tony is? If I knew, I'd have sent someone to rescue him already.

You must know, his disappearance caused the company's stock to plummet."

Obadiah explained in a panic, his expression and tone betraying no flaws.

If George hadn't been simultaneously using Legilimency and telepathy to read Obadiah's thoughts, he might have actually been deceived by him.

To act so convincingly under the threat of death—th...

Chapter 47: The Fusion of Psychic Powers and the Legilimens Charm

"It seems I can't afford to give up on the Tony Stark lead just yet," George muttered to himself.

After leaving the rooftop, George didn't return to school. Instead, he hopped on his beloved motorbike and headed straight for Manhattan. He had resolved to make time to go to the Middle East and rescue Tony Stark.

Initially, he had considered taking Wolverine along for the rescue, but that might draw SHIELD's attention. Besides, relying on others wasn't as reliable as handling things...

Chapter 46: The Carlson Family's Downfall

At midnight, Leon walked alone onto the rooftop.

The moon was full tonight, and its silvery light bathed the rooftop, easing some of his nervous tension.

Facing someone who could kill him at any moment was unnerving, even though he knew it was unlikely—otherwise, why would they have gone to such lengths to save him? Nonetheless, his heart trembled with unease.

"You're here."

The familiar voice rang out, and Leon looked up in its direction.

At some point, George...

Chapter 45: The Howler Sent to Leon

After joining the Slytherin Quidditch team, George's life began to settle into a steady routine.
He spent his days earning points for the house, studying magic, exploring books in the library, and seeking guidance from teachers on magical techniques.

As for Quidditch practice, his exceptional skills earned him special permission from Snape to skip sessions occasionally.

With time, George's magical knowledge and skills grew rapidly. He had nearly mastered all the first-year spel...

Chapter 44: Little Malfoy, Tamed!

"This is the Golden Snitch. Once I release it, it will fly at high speed around the field. Whoever catches it first will be the Seeker for the team."

The captain, Flint, who appeared to have troll blood with a stature taller than Snape's, explained while holding a walnut-sized golden metal ball with a pair of silver wings.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Flint released his grip, and the Golden Snitch immediately darted away at an incredible speed. Malfoy and George took off right af...

Chapter 43: The Scheming Boy, George

"Professor Snape, we booked the entire Quidditch pitch in advance, and it was because Malfoy called Hermione a Mudblood that Ron attacked him!"

Facing the intimidating Snape, Wood and the others were too angry to speak but didn't dare to argue. Harry, however, refused to let it go.

Snape's expression darkened further. "How dare you lie?"

"Malfoy, did you call Hermione a Mudblood?" George suddenly interjected, addressing Malfoy.

With Snape present, Malfoy felt emboldene...

Chapter 42: The Most Suitable is the Strongest

"If that's the case, then it's naturally not a problem."

Hearing Snape's response, George nodded without hesitation.

This entire scheme had been crafted precisely for this purpose.

Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class only taught Forgetfulness Charms at best; everything else was a disaster. For black magic expertise, Snape was the real deal.

Having individual lessons with Snape every week was akin to becoming his personal protégé. Over time, they could buil...

Chapter 41: A Once-in-a-Millennium Prodigy

Indeed, the thin iron wire was George's secret weapon for mastering the flying broomstick.

The key to skillful broomstick flight lies in the wizard's ability to maneuver it with precision. By wrapping a thin iron wire around the broomstick, George added an additional layer of control. Beyond the usual magical manipulation of the broomstick, the wire enabled him to fine-tune movements through magnetism, providing dual assurance.

In truth, with his duplicate body's weight of only a ...

Chapter 40: George's Trump Card

George also heard the approaching footsteps. After a moment's hesitation, he walked to the rooftop entrance, closed the iron door, and began to cast a spell on the handle: "Fravidium!"

The Transfiguration spell was activated, and a fist-sized lock materialized, securely locking the door.

He wasn't afraid of the ordinary men below; he simply didn't want to leave too many traces behind after killing too many people.

"Let's go."

After sealing the rooftop and temporarily b...

Chapter 39: Codename, Reaper

"One last request... For the sake of everything I've done for the family, spare my wife and daughter, and let my brothers continue serving the family."
After all his years of loyalty to the family, Leon understood the possibility of what Chebel had described.

It was true: his subordinates had always hoped he would take over the Chebel family, urging him multiple times to rename it the Leon family.

At this moment, however, Leon had no complaints. Instead, he knelt before Chebel,...

Chapter 38: Selecting a Proxy

Over the weekend, George spent most of his time practicing newly learned spells. Occasionally, he would visit Hagrid to learn about magical creatures and establish a mental connection with the ones Hagrid raised.

During this time, he didn't see Harry or Ron, who were reportedly being punished for crashing the flying car into the Whomping Willow.

In the following week, George continued to tirelessly accumulate points while absorbing as much magical knowledge as possible, diligently...

Chapter 37: The Star of Slytherin

Wednesday Morning: Herbology Class

As expected, George once again secured 10 points for Slytherin during Herbology class.

Thanks to his past experience helping an old wizard sell potions, combined with the aid of his computer, George's deep understanding of herbs and potions gave him an unparalleled edge over first-year challenges.

...

After lunch, George ventured out of the castle alone, walking along a path leading to the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid's hut.

It w...

Chapter 36: Lockhart's Three Virtues

After the Transfiguration class ended, George didn't head straight to lunch. Instead, he spent an entire hour chasing after Professor McGonagall, bombarding her with questions about Transfiguration until he finally left, thoroughly satisfied.

It was common knowledge that every professor had to teach several year groups, making them extremely busy. George knew if he didn't seize opportunities like this, he might not get another chance to ask questions.
