Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"How did he get people infected?"

"Rather than infecting someone, it's more like he sent someone who was already infected. After all, if he's studied dragons, he probably knows more about dragon pox than the average person. When the symptoms start to show, the patient and those around them will notice it, but what if Dumbledore had noticed those extremely subtle changes in the initial stages before the dragon pox spread? Those extremely subtle abnormalities that even the patient and those around him wouldn't notice?

Yes... Maybe Dumbledore had already noticed that the pure-blood nobles were excluding him, and planned to take a neutral route and unite. He had many spies to help him get information. But this narcissistic old man didn't like this situation in his heart. If they brought him in, he might be able to tolerate it, but because they excluded him, he felt dissatisfied in his heart. After some investigation, he found that these people were even planning to drive him out of the position of headmaster. Both the light side and the dark side showed this trend.

At this time, a foolish pure-blood noble who didn't even notice the early mild symptoms of dragon pox came to ask for help. Perhaps this noble didn't know what the Black or Potter family was doing, and said he wanted to join Dumbledore's camp. But in fact, this old man who hated the pure-blood nobles in his heart was more concerned about the fact that the Black, Malfoy, and Potter families seemed to be preparing to establish a neutral faction. He said some high-sounding words to this pure-blood noble, such as instead of following him, a mere headmaster, it would be better to use the power of their family to join the neutral faction. In this way, it was neither a lie, but also revealed that he did have that idea in his heart. Moreover, he may have reminded this noble that it would be better not to tell the Black or Malfoy family that he had suggested them to do so, so as not to arouse suspicion, and at the same time asked this noble to keep their meeting secret.

However, the old man had no ill intentions. Perhaps it was just a very, very early symptom at the time? He might have just vaguely felt that the other party might have been infected with dragon pox, but he couldn't be sure. Maybe it was still a gamble at the time? So, even if he was discovered after the dragon pox outbreak, this pure-blood noble had met Dumbledore before joining the neutral faction, and he could confidently claim that he was not aware of the existence of dragon pox at all. He didn't spread it intentionally, and he had nothing to hide. After all, he just suggested that the other party join the Pure-Blood Noble Alliance.

In this way, the pure-blood nobles instigated by Dumbledore went there without knowing it in order to join the neutral faction. As a result, dragon pox broke out. Everything went smoothly as Dumbledore hoped in his heart. "

"..."

"Is it possible?"

"……really."

"But the old man can't come out now. Even if he could, he'd already be considered a liar in the wizarding world. Isn't that good?"

"But Remus' parents and Evans' parents are both dead..."

"Wow! That's amazing! This may be a coincidence, or it may not be. We don't know yet. However, it is indeed a bit too coincidental, even scary. But as I said just now, Dumbledore always believed that he was righteous, so he couldn't do it himself, nor could he let others do it for him.

However, he might subconsciously hope that things would develop in that direction. He is a powerful wizard, and if he prays deeply in his heart, he might really be able to make something happen, or even cause some unfortunate accidents. And those people are not powerful wizards.

Hmm... I guess luck is on Dumbledore's side?

The heroes in history not only rely on strength, but also luck. This is God's will. At least until then, Dumbledore's luck was good. The world regarded him as a hero, so everything developed according to his wishes. However, now the situation is just the opposite. "

"Is that so... But I heard that it was because of this that Mr. Lupin fell into poverty and lived on the brink of collapse. His mother doesn't seem to be a witch. Was that an accident or something else?

If Mr. Lupin's mother were still alive, everything would definitely be different. His mother is a housewife, and his father works in the Ministry of Magic, right? In this case, there should be a guarantee similar to a survivor's pension. Although Mr. Lupin is an adult and cannot receive it, if his mother is still alive, she should be able to become the beneficiary. With a stable income, even if his father has debts, the house will not be auctioned. The annuity can be used as collateral to apply for a loan to repay the debt, so that the house can be kept. Then the mother will wait for her son to come home. All this seems like a coincidence, but it fits Dumbledore's plan. "

Yeah...if Lupin's mother were still alive, his situation wouldn't have become so bad.

"Is this a way for Dumbledore to manipulate others? He leaves people alone and in trouble. He doesn't make an effort to improve their situation, and even if he can, he won't lend a hand. He probably thinks these are things that everyone should solve on their own. So now people blame him: 'You knew it but you didn't do anything!'"

It feels a bit like Harry's situation. When you are helpless and someone reaches out to help you, you will be grateful. But when the situation is too difficult, you will stop thinking and let others manipulate you. I remember that when I was with my parents, I also gave up thinking... Ever since Percy became weird, I don't even want to play my favorite chess anymore. I hate thinking about complicated things.

But now that I think about it, the one who pushed me to the brink of despair was the one who offered me a helping hand, wasn't it? "

"…Lupin said that if he had stayed with Arthur and Molly, Ron would probably have been eliminated first. He also said that it was fortunate that he was not adopted. He likes to pry into various things and look for contradictions. If Dumbledore said that Ron was a ruthless person who abandoned his beloved parents, he might stay away from Ron. But even so, he might still be able to convince Harry to stand on his side. So, if Lupin was adopted by the Weasleys, Ron would most likely be eliminated. Fortunately, because of Peter, Dumbledore eventually lost power and Ron escaped. Lupin also asked me to tell Charlie to forgive Peter because it was Peter who saved Ron."

"Wow! This is so scary! And Mr. Lupin is so scary to think of this!

However, this is not impossible. I have always felt that the man is not trustworthy. I will tell Charlie that it was because of Peter that I was saved from death. Although Lupin said not to mention Peter again, I think Charlie, who is kind-hearted, will forgive him. "

"If Mr. and Mrs. Lily were still alive, Harry would not have been sent to his aunt's house, but would have been raised by his grandparents who had experience in raising wizards. In that case, Harry's life would not have been so difficult.

He seems to like to push people into desperate situations, whether it's Tom, Lupin, or Peter. He knew that Peter's mother would become a target, but he didn't provide any help, putting Peter in an extremely difficult situation. Perhaps only those who can stay within the darkness in desperate situations are valued by him. In fact, he doesn't like anyone at all. Although he looks like a kind old man full of fraternity, he actually doesn't love anyone. Bill said that he always emphasizes the word "love". "

"...Yes, he did say that."

"But you know what? This is actually a very normal thing. If a person always emphasizes 'love', it may be because he does not actually have this emotion in his heart. He knows that love is important, but he cannot really do it.

I have seen this in my past life. In the company, there was a guy who always claimed, 'I love my wife and children the most.' He always loudly promoted his family values ​​at work. He hyped it up to every colleague. Do you know what happened later? "

"what happened?"

"In fact, he had a young lover secretly, and when he was discovered, there was a huge uproar. His lover even came to the company to make trouble, and even his wife came, and the scene was a mess. We were all affected, and we thought, 'You guys can just make trouble at home,' but unexpectedly, another lover appeared in the company and the dispute continued. Then, several colleagues who had had affairs with him before also stood up, and the situation got more and more out of control, and finally he had to resign. His wife took all his property, and they divorced, and the custody of the child also went to his wife. Anyway, his wife came from a prominent family, and things developed completely according to her wishes. He used to work in the elite department of a large company, and when he lost this job, his lover also dumped him. I don't know what happened after that.

I thought at the time, of course I value my family, but this is something I told my family, so there is no need for me to publicize it to outsiders, right? This is a matter of course. In fact, it is precisely because he does not really value his family that he needs to emphasize it repeatedly to others, as if he is hypnotizing himself. He knows that love is important, but he can't do it, so he can only suppress his inner guilt by publicizing it. "
