Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

The uncle continued:

"By the way, Lupin, life must have been very difficult after you were kicked out, right? But I don't think your parents left only a small amount of savings to you, their son with lycanthropy. They must have anticipated that you would not be able to find a decent job, right? Even if you graduated from Hogwarts, it would be difficult. They should be very clear about this. That's why they particularly hope that you can enter Hogwarts. It is precisely because you will face prejudice and a life full of suffering that they hope you can have a happy student life, right? Maybe they think that with Potter and Black as a backing, the future will be better. But if it were me, I would not have such high expectations for those two fools who are ignorant of the world. So if it were me, I would definitely leave something for my son, just in case. I would never mortgage the house easily. At least the house is the last bottom line, right? Even if there is no decent job, as long as there is a home away from human habitation, life can still be sustained, right? Is it really mortgaged? This means they borrowed money, right?"

Yes... If I were Mr. Lupin's parents, I would definitely try to keep the house. Even if there is no money, at least there must be a home. Although there are rich friends like Black and Potter, they are just friends after all. Who can guarantee that they will accompany you for life? Once the friendship is broken, the friendship is over. I don't believe that his parents didn't think of this. They only have one son. Even if they are gone, they hope that even if their friends are gone, their son can continue to live. With a house, at least he can live a normal life. After all, Lupin graduated from Hogwarts. If he can be a freelancer like Edgar and adjust his time, there will be no problem in life. Edgar also lives with his parents. It is easy to do odd jobs in the Muggle world to earn some money for daily expenses. Even my brothers will go to the Muggle world to earn some pocket money, and they can also earn some pocket money by doing daily jobs. And if you are self-sufficient at home, life will not be too much of a problem. But once you have to pay rent, the difficulty of life will increase sharply. If you don't have a stable job, it is difficult to rent a house. If you don't have parents or close friends as guarantors, it will be even more difficult. Moreover, as a werewolf, if you don't want to hurt others, you need a safe place to spend the full moon, which is even more troublesome.

In this way, the werewolves have no choice but to turn to the dark forces. I can easily imagine that the more upright people are, the harder their lives will be. The magic world is not a society that can accept them, and Voldemort is probably their only choice. As long as they follow Voldemort's instructions, they can at least survive.

"I don't know the details. When I went to the werewolf community to investigate, that person suddenly disappeared and the investigation was forced to stop. When I returned home and finished my work with the Order of the Phoenix, my parents had passed away and the house was occupied by a new tenant. That tenant had a legal title deed, and after investigation I confirmed that it was indeed obtained legally after the house was mortgaged and auctioned. I don't know how my parents borrowed the money, and I can't find any clues because our belongings have been disposed of by the current tenant."

"Could it be that they paid Dumbledore to get you into Hogwarts?"

Lucius raised his voice, which was unusual for him. His uncle echoed him. But it did sound possible.

"I think it's very likely. Otherwise, why not go through the Ministry of Magic or other teachers? I don't think Dumbledore would put the money into his own pocket, but the money might have been used to find the Whomping Willow and transplant it to Hogwarts, or to provide you with living expenses for a full month in the Shrieking Shack. It's not easy to find and transplant a Whomping Willow, and it's a rare plant, and it costs a lot. Plus, your parents are extremely grateful to Dumbledore for letting you enter Hogwarts, and they may have regarded the funds for the activities of the Order of the Phoenix as an investment for their son. Maybe they were also hinted that as long as they achieved results in the Order of the Phoenix, they might find a job in the future. If so, they might just barely hold on. After all, who doesn't want to do something for their only son?"

Lucius continued:

"...Yes, it's possible. If I were Lupin's father, I might do the same. If Draco was in that situation, I would make the same choice. Seeing that my only son was destined to live a lonely life between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, and now there is an opportunity in front of him to give him a formal identity in the wizarding world, anyone would seize this opportunity. Even if there is danger, I will fight for this opportunity. What a shameless old man, so I hate him."

Lupin's face turned pale. That's right, if he lost his home because of going to Hogwarts, he might as well not go to Hogwarts, maybe life would be easier. Moreover, Lupin's parents died too early, why did they die? However, if Lupin found out that his parents died when he returned home after completing the mission of the Knights, then he probably didn't know the specific reason...

It felt like someone was deliberately trying to drive Lupin to a dead end, similar to Tom's situation.

"...I don't know anything. If I lost my home because I went to Hogwarts, then I would rather not go to Hogwarts... But it is precisely because I have no job and no home that I can especially understand that person's feelings. Although my life in Hogwarts was a bit difficult, those memories sparkled in my heart. So, maybe that's why he tried every means to become a teacher at Hogwarts. Maybe his feelings are actually very simple. But it's not surprising if he was completely obstructed by Dumbledore and fell into darkness. If the loss of my home was really due to Dumbledore, I would not forgive him."

I agree with this view. Maybe this is the result of selection. In Dumbledore's world, there is only light and darkness. Tom was eliminated, but Lupin survived. Tom was lonely, but Lupin had loving parents, so he barely survived. On the other hand, Peter Wormtail fell into darkness because he had a mother. It's really complicated... Love can't save everything. What does Dumbledore think of love? He wouldn't think that love that falls into darkness is not true love, right? If that's the case, then it's Dumbledore himself who doesn't understand love. Maybe he's just narcissistic.

Since Lupin survived, Dumbledore would definitely use him as a pawn. Dumbledore probably thought that only those who passed the selection were trustworthy, but for those who were selected, it was actually the entrance to hell, because they were destined to be exploited to death.

How should I put it... From this perspective, the Death Eaters are more straightforward. Although they will be used to death and will be executed if they anger Voldemort, they at least joined knowing all this. Although some people may not be willing, most people should have a certain awareness. Moreover, at least they can make a living. Those pure-blood nobles provide job opportunities to maintain their careers. Although Voldemort is cruel, he also provides practical benefits, so his supporters have never stopped. And what about the Phoenix Knights? It is just a group with little awareness. Although there are some people with good intentions among them, most people may just think that they are playing the role of messengers of justice, but they don't understand that they will also be squeezed to death by Dumbledore.

Ron once said that Dumbledore and Voldemort were somewhat similar, but I think they were actually somewhat different. Voldemort was more straightforward. Mr. Tom was probably as frank as Ron imagined. Dumbledore was more cunning. My parents knew nothing about this, they had no awareness at all, they just participated in it with vague beliefs. "

"Your father worked for the Ministry, right? We'll do our best to get the relevant information here."

Lupin whispered, "Please," and looked like he was about to cry.
