Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Ever since I became the head of the family, I have been dealing with the problem of duds.

Even though they are Squibs, they are members of the Weasley family after all, so they are most likely to become targets of dark wizards, and their families will also become targets.

Therefore, it is imperative to ensure their and their families’ safety first.

However, with the improvement of the education system in the Muggle world, more and more Squibs find it difficult to find jobs, so solving this problem has become urgent.

Someone has asked me this question and hopefully it will be resolved.

Therefore, I have been considering rebuilding the family system after I gain real power, but this requires money, time and energy, and it cannot be implemented until I become the head of the family.

Raising funds is the hardest thing.

The Weasley family is famous for being poor and having many children, so naturally they don't have much money.

Even that little bit of funding was spent on the family’s security measures.

Although the wizarding world can solve many problems through magic and therefore does not need money much in daily life, the Muggle world is different.

To truly establish a system, Muggle money is indispensable. However, since we are not engaged in any large-scale business or financial operations, the shortage of funds has become the biggest problem.

After careful consideration, I decided to invite the Squibs from the Weasley family to come to my house to see if there are any items that can be sold at a high price in the Muggle world.

The family owns some antique silverware, tableware, ceramic tea sets that are very old but beautifully decorated, special tableware sets that are only used when entertaining guests, glasses, luxurious furniture in the reception room, oriental-style pottery pots that are used only for decoration, vases and ornaments, paintings (the kind that don't move), ancient tapestries and luxurious carpets, etc., which are very old, so these items are well preserved, all thanks to the help of magic.

Fortunately, due to what my father said, we have almost cut off contact with the pure-blood nobles, so there is no need to maintain superficial decency, and these things can be sold without hesitation.

When the people from the branch family saw this, they followed the example of the main family, disposed of items that could be sold for a high price in the Muggle world, and helped to establish the fund.

Except for the jewelry that could be used for family protection and the ancient magic books and magic tools, everything else was sold.

By the way, my father was immersed in his own world with my mother, like an invisible man. He had no reaction to the sale of various items in the house, and it was not even clear whether he noticed it.

Even the curtains made of heavy, high-quality velvet were sold off and replaced with cheap ones, and he showed no reaction.

The mother seemed a little disappointed...

Maybe he is really not suitable to be the head of the family...

In fact, the Weasley family has secretly managed a place since ancient times to provide shelter for Weasley's Squibs.

Although it is far from the big city, there is a small town nearby that is suitable for living.

Everything follows Muggle rules, and the Squibs live an ordinary life.

About half of the land in the village belonged to the Weasley family, but was ostensibly held in the name of a Muggle group, so that the Ministry of Magic and other wizarding families were unaware.

It was a difficult process until everything was on track.

Once the funds raised are used, they are gone, so I plan to use them for investment, but this is extremely difficult and requires a lot of knowledge and constant intelligence gathering.

Since I couldn't afford to fail, I diversified my risk.

But even so, conservative investing is not the answer, and I have considered making bold investments in some companies with huge growth potential.

To be on the safe side, I consulted my mother-in-law Belinda, who was a long-lived member of my family and good at predicting the future (she died several years ago at an unknown age).

Although the securities company, myself and the Squibs in charge of the Muggle funds all strongly recommended the investment project, Granny Belinda advised me not to invest.

Although I gave up reluctantly, the project collapsed a few years later. I was scared to death and almost lost all my money.

Although there was no huge profit, it was still a considerable gain.

Grandma Belinda was right! I can’t thank her enough!

Firstly, I can provide start-up funds for the children who are separated from the children's home.

Independence costs money, and the family will invest in them.

Although the amount is not large, it is enough for them to rent a small house after finding a job, buy basic necessities, and live frugally before receiving their first salary.

A few years later, we provided financial assistance for children with good academic performance to go to university, and a few years later, we provided financial assistance for those who wanted to obtain professional qualifications to attend professional schools.

As these Squib children have successfully established themselves in the Muggle world, they have begun to give back to the family, providing donations and new investment information, making our financial operations more stable.

They actively assisted and provided greater support for the Weasley Squibs to survive in the Muggle world.

Because these funds were sufficient to support our assistance to the Squibs, I was able to recover the funds originally used for the fund and escape from the extreme poverty that had once occupied my life.

A new fund was established with the recovered funds to specifically help children in the family who have magical abilities.

This fund can provide subsidies for tuition fees and give them a small coming-of-age gift when they reach adulthood.

The daily operating expenses of the Squib Children's Home are maintained by funds donated by wizards after they become adults, which can be regarded as a positive complement.

The food is grown in the mansion, and the missing parts are purchased from the wizarding world where prices are lower, so the cost of living is not high.

Due to the large size of the Weasley family, each individual donation was relatively small.

Those who do not contribute to the common fund cannot use the services of the Children's Home.

Any family could have a Squib, so even families without Squibs would contribute.

For families in financial difficulty, we can negotiate to waive part of the donation or help the children's home in other ways, such as providing labor.

There was once a man who neither donated money nor offered help. For some reason, only Squibs were born in his family, not a single wizard.

Rumor has it that if dues aren't paid or help provided, the birth rate of Squibs will increase.

Because of this rumor, those who had not paid the fees also began to pay actively.

Once a Squib is born, they remain with their parents until they attend Muggle school, after which they are sent to a children's home run jointly by the family.

Initially, we only arranged for them to enter children's homes starting from primary school, but because they did not interact with Muggle children from pre-school, many Squib children were unable to integrate into Muggle society.

Therefore, we decided to send the children to a children's home when they are three years old if possible and no later than four years old.

It is relatively easy to judge whether a Weasley child has magical talent. The consensus of the Weasley family is that red hair symbolizes magic!

If the child inherits a significant family trait from the mother's side, then it is possible for a non-red-haired wizard to be born.

Often in these cases, the children also look distinctly unlike the Weasleys.

However, the Weasley bloodline is very powerful, and if the power of the Weasley bloodline can be suppressed, they will often become wizards.

If a child has Weasley features but does not have red hair, then he is likely to be a Squib.

Some children's hair will turn red the moment their magic power awakens, so it is impossible to be completely sure at birth, but in most cases, it can be determined whether a child has magical talent by around the age of three.

Even for the Stubs who come out of the children's home, if they are unwilling to go to the big city, find jobs locally and help the children's home, we will provide a group-owned house at a very low price.

Some children who are not suitable for group living can also live in such families.

Basically, when a child is removed from their parents' care, they are removed from the Weasley family register, as they become more vulnerable to being targeted by Dark wizards.

Especially since his father's unnecessary comments, there had been more and more instances of Dark wizards targeting the Weasley family, so this was a necessary measure for the safety of the Squibs.

Although they will be removed from the Weasley family register, the reasons will be clearly explained to them.

Many children are able to understand the differences between their wizarding families and themselves, and vow never to reveal the secrets of the wizarding world.

However, children do not completely leave their parents, and most children go home during weekends or long holidays.

In that man's heyday, this behavior was forbidden, but parents understood it if it was explained clearly.

Even now, we urge children to be careful not to be seen by other wizards when they return home.

Sometimes, children who feel inferior because they cannot use magic will refuse to go home, and there are parents who cannot accept Squibb (the offspring of wizards without magical abilities).

Therefore, some children will stay in the village.

Although they cannot use magic, they are taught skills similar to the mind-closing technique.

Squib cannot use the Open Heart Technique, but can learn techniques similar to the Closed Heart Technique.

This is a way to surround your own heart with an extremely strong wall, prevent others from invading and protect your own heart.

Although they have known the existence of the wizarding world and the Muggle world since childhood, they never reveal their true selves to either side while living between the two.

In the wizarding world where they have families, they are careful not to let people other than their families know of their existence; and in the Muggle world in daily life, they will never reveal that they are from a magical family.

They have the potential to easily master the art of closing their minds.

At the same time, naturally, Squib’s children would also learn the art of fighting.

In a time when there was little support for Squibb, many Squibb chose to join the military because it provided them with food, clothing, shelter and did not require a high level of education.

The fact that Squibb is mostly male is also one of the reasons.

After combat training, some retired and studied judo, karate, aikido and other martial arts in London, and returned from various Eastern countries after learning, while others returned after mastering the combat skills of the armies of various countries.

So we teach our kids these fighting skills as well.

They also invited some wizards from the family to jointly study combat techniques against the magic tribe.

Although the introduction of firearms was considered, it was abandoned due to the fear that children would use them accidentally.

In most cases, a magic wand is enough to deal with it. In addition, we are also worried that the weapon will fall into the hands of the dark forces and we cannot allow the opponent to upgrade the version.

Although the other villagers vaguely sensed that we were not an ordinary tribe, they chose to turn a blind eye, which helped us a lot.

Such villages usually have fewer and fewer children, are experiencing serious problems with declining birthrates and aging populations, and their vitality is gradually disappearing.

However, the Weasleys regularly sent their children to the village, from where they went to school in neighboring towns, and some stayed in the village to start new families.

As a result, the villagers accepted the change without much inquiry. When the original inhabitants moved away, the Weasley Squibbles would often buy up the vacant properties and settle there, resulting in Weasley-related people occupying most of the village.

Sometimes, a magical child was born into a Squib, and after consultation the child and his parents decided whether to attend Hogwarts as a Muggle-born or a Weasley, but almost without exception, they returned to the family as a magical child.
