Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"After receiving Bill's letter, I kept wondering why it turned out like that."

Dust Weasley recalled the past.

“Indeed, I have loved fantasy since I was a child. You could say… as the twins said, I only see what I want to see. And I was very busy during that time and didn’t pay attention to what actually happened, so the details are not clear.

Arthur was greatly influenced by his father's preference for Gryffindor, and he was also a supporter of Dumbledore. As a result, he was somewhat biased in his thinking, but Arthur was not the kind of person who disobeyed his family. He always listened to me, his eldest brother.

However, since he started to contact the Prewett family, he suddenly became disgusted with what I said. "

"It must be completely controlled by Dumbledore, right? Through Molly's relationship, the Prewett brothers are also Dumbledore's fanatical followers."

William affirmed that it was true.

"Ah, yes... Dumbledore, he seemed very proud when the Order of the Phoenix invited him. His brother, Bilius, tried to stop him, but he said he would not listen to your nagging anymore. This paranoid character is really like our father.

His entanglement with Slytherin was not because he really understood the family's inner workings, but because he was bewitched by Dumbledore? I heard that he often went out with Prewett, and his family reminded him to be vigilant, but he didn't care at all.

His brothers warned him many times, but he just wouldn't listen, which made people very angry.

Arthur may have developed an admiration for Dumbledore because his late father had been an admirer of Dumbledore.

But even though my father admired Dumbledore, he was still very wary of him, so my brothers and I didn't have much trust in Dumbledore.

Not only his father, but even the older people didn't trust Dumbledore very much.

During that time, we were all very busy with the family's security and had no time to pay attention to Dumbledore's invitation. Most people just perfunctorily responded, right?"

"Indeed it is……"

Everyone present agreed.

It was indeed a very busy time, and I had no time to pay attention to Dumbledore's movements.

Although we knew he was not from the dark camp, maybe I was not wary of him at the time. But, to be honest, I didn't think he was trustworthy.

I had some doubts about the approach to Defense Against the Dark Arts before I entered school.

Because the principal was incompetent, he specially organized summer tutoring for the children at home. Everyone in the Weasley family should have felt Dumbledore's incompetence, but Arthur did not.

Normally, you should notice these problems without being reminded by others.

"He wanted to win over the Weasleys because of their policy of admitting Muggle-borns to the light camp. Although he succeeded in recruiting Arthur, the Weasleys soon expelled him from the family. Perhaps Dumbledore had not expected this.

Especially since I became the next head of the family, he was very aggressive in recruiting me. If I didn't know anything at the time, I might have been won over by him. He is really good at this.

But if you look at the Potters and Longbottoms, you'll understand. They were also influenced by Dumbledore, right? When I enrolled, Longbottom had already graduated, so I don't know the details, but Potter seemed to admire Dumbledore very much. Although we didn't stay at school for a long time, he seemed to be completely fascinated. From the rumors, Longbottom's sense of justice may have been exploited.

Seeing this, as the next head of the family, I first considered the safety of the family, so I tactfully rejected him, and I shirked it on the grounds that 'the Weasley family is large'. "

"Well, as expected, it was the right decision to choose Ignatius as the next head of the family. His prudence and ability to handle problems with a smile are qualities that a head of the family must possess. If Dumbledore becomes our enemy, we will be surrounded by enemies on all sides."

When I said this, the elders all nodded in agreement.

Then Edgar raised another question.

"To be honest, I have always had a question. Sirius Black was once a loyal follower of Potter. It is impossible for him to betray him, right?

Could it be Peter Petillo? Only one finger of Peter Petillo was found.

My time at school overlapped slightly with theirs, and I remember that Potter and Black were close friends who could talk about anything, and even Evans couldn't get in the way.

If Potter hadn't pursued Evans, they might have actually been together, there were rumors at the time, but I think the idea that Black betrayed Potter because he was jealous of Potter and Evans getting married is completely untenable.

But Potter's other two friends are only together because of common interests. If there is going to be betrayal, it should be one of them, right? I think Lupin is unlikely...

The prophecy says they're in hiding, right? Everyone thinks it was Black who betrayed Potter, but I'm more convinced it was Peter Pettigrew?

Although normal people would not do such a stupid thing, but Peter Petillo is too stupid, so this kind of thing is not impossible, right? "

Bilius replied:

“That’s what I think, too. Those two guys have incredibly good grades, but they’re just ignorant rich kids. They may think they’re smart, but they may have chosen the wrong person. Peter Petillo will definitely leak the secret, and even a fool can see that.

In fact, the investigation report showed that the bodies of the other victims were found, and only Peter Petillo's fingers were left at the scene.

This is so suspicious, I think Blake is just chasing after the betrayer Peter Petillo.

Even though I didn't know much about the situation, I felt that Black was wrongly accused. However, Dumbledore ignored it, not to mention that he didn't even hold a trial or make Black drink the truth serum, but directly put him in Azkaban.

Although a large number of Death Eaters were arrested at that time, he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and should have found out the truth.

Black is straightforward and never hides his emotions. He hates betrayal the most. When he was in school, he often bullied Slytherin students. If that was acting, it would be amazing. What he did was not a small fight.

Even so, it is unreasonable to treat the heirs of the Black family in this way, and the legal community has raised questions about this.

Although he behaved improperly, he was still the next head of the Black family.

At the time, many nobles were sent directly to Azkaban without trial, which led to protests, but just before that, many heads of famous noble families died of dragon pox, and the situation of each family was difficult and they were unable to cope with it.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Even if they wanted to protest, the head of the family at that time had already been imprisoned in Azkaban, and many families simply did not have the power to fight back.

Mrs. Black, who passed away some time ago, had mental and physical problems and was almost unable to leave the house. In addition, her son, whom she relied on, was unable to help after the previous head of the family died or was imprisoned in Azkaban. The period of power transition among the pure-blood noble families was too busy. "

Ignatius noted:

"The pure-blood nobles of the 28 sacred clans who joined the Order of the Phoenix and their close relatives have all disappeared one after another. Judging from the results, fanatical Moody and others have tenaciously survived, but the pure-blood nobles of the light camp have become the first victims. Although they are under the banner of light, they are still pure-blood nobles. From the perspective of black magicians, they would rather let these pure-blood nobles obey and maintain their bloodline, rather than kill them directly, right?

However, the pure-blood nobles were always the first to be killed, and their organization was incomprehensible.

By the way, the Prewett family also lost their heir because of this, right? "

Uncle Percival, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

“Let the pure-blood nobles of the light camp be killed by the dark camp, and then let his own dark camp destroy the other side. In this way, Dumbledore can destroy all the pure-blood nobles without dirtying his hands.

In the end, the wizarding world is still controlled by the pure-blood nobles. No matter what, bloodline is still important, and he wants to ensure his political position without dirtying his hands. "

A heavy silence fell over the room.

Then, Clarence, my uncle's cousin who lived in the same era as my uncle and was from a separate family, also spoke in a heavy voice.

"Don't trust Dumbledore blindly."

"Of course, Voldemort is even less trustworthy."

As everyone was pondering, Edgar raised an interesting point.

"By the way, the twins once mentioned that when Molly went to Diagon Alley, she often went to Gringotts. Because that was not her father's storage room, but the vault in the name of her mother, the twins remembered it very clearly. She said that she was kicked out of the house and had no money, but she had her own vault. Why is that?"

“Could it be that Molly secretly took away the property of the Prewett family?

Not to mention the Prewett family's own vault, the members of the Order of the Phoenix should also have their own vaults, but were those vaults returned to the bereaved families in the end?"

After Ignatius raised the question, his uncle continued:

“The Longbottom family is managed by Augusta, so there shouldn’t be any problems, but what about the Potter family?

Their branch family has been severed and cannot be managed by an agent, and their wealth is huge. Although there may be collateral families, Harry, as the legitimate son, should inherit all the property, right?

Ah, now the question I had just raised has an answer."

Edgar asked cautiously:

"Could it be that the reason why Sirius Black is not cleared is because... Potter's son is now being taken care of by his Muggle relatives?"

"Where are the keys? Are they managed by the Ministry of Magic?"

Ignatius, who works at the Ministry of Magic, replied:

"No, that's impossible. The Ministry of Magic does not manage the keys to the Potter family. To be precise, it is Dumbledore who manages them alone. No, it should be said that Dumbledore does not allow the Ministry of Magic to intervene, and even prevents the Ministry of Magic from getting close. This is a more accurate statement.

It is true that some people in the Ministry of Magic are not only incompetent but also harmful, but even so, Dumbledore does not allow other capable and trustworthy people to intervene.

This made many officials dissatisfied.

The problem is not just about property, though.

James Potter's magical powers are very strong, and although his personality is not very good, his abilities are outstanding, even better than Black.

There were rumors that the mother of his child was actually a Muggle-born, but she was also very outstanding, and her magical power was in no way inferior to that of a pure-blood aristocrat.

Her bright red hair is just as good as the Weasleys'.

Do you think a child born from these two people can be safe in a Muggle family?"

"This is too dangerous... Dumbledore, this is terrible!"

"Did the Ministry of Magic send anyone to monitor the Muggle family that Potter was staying with?"

Edgar muttered to himself, and Ignatius shook his head and replied:

"No, there may be members of the Order of the Phoenix over there, but..."

"That's impossible," said Uncle Percival flatly.

“From what I have heard so far, Potter’s son must have very strong magical powers, so it must be difficult for them to deal with him in an ordinary Muggle family.

Even if he was mistreated, it would not be surprising.

With a little care, he could easily become a chess piece in his hands. Moreover, without Black's hindrance, of course the poor godfather couldn't stop it either."

Uncle Clarence also went on to say:

"Those children of Arthur and Molly who blindly trust me are also the most ideal pawns. They are of similar age and from the Gryffindor family. They are perfect as potential subordinates. This is exactly what Dumbledore would come up with, humph, old poisoner."

"So, he will do everything he can to bring Arthur into his camp. Even if the other members of the Weasley family are under the banner of light, they will remain wary of Dumbledore and be careful not to get too close to him."

"But in order to attract Muggle-borns to join his camp, he must bring in someone from the Weasley family. Even if they don't have power, the Weasley family still has a huge reputation in the eyes of Muggle-borns."

“Arthur is a lot like his gullible father, with a similar idealistic side.

From this point of view, the same is true for Potter. The difference is that the Potter family has huge wealth, the family has been under the banner of light since ancient times, and has trained a large number of Aurors. From Dumbledore's point of view, it must be easy to coax the self-conscious Potter's son.

Moreover, the Potter family is small in number, so there are not so many people to hinder him. Most of the Potter family members are easily influenced by Dumbledore.

Plus, the Potters must have a lot of information about the dark arts, which they use to develop counter-magic. It's unknown what's happening to that part now."

Travis responded:

“The uncles are right.

But without evidence, this is all just speculation.

This is what's so scary about Dumbledore.

If possible, I would also like to know about Harry Potter's current situation, Edgar, please."

"Okay, I'll look into it."

When asked by the elders, Edgar responded:

"However, although the Ministry of Magic tried to investigate, it seems that they were unable to track it due to cognitive bias magic or magic that prevented wizards from approaching."

"That's because it's through the channels of the wizarding world, so that's why it's like this, right? Harry's mother is a Muggle-born, she should have a household registration in the Muggle world, and her relatives can be traced from there. I remember she has an older sister, we can try to find her, we know her last name is Evans, and Muggles all went to ordinary schools before going to Hogwarts, there should be records, right?

Besides, Lily was a childhood friend of Severus Snape, and Snape still lived in the Muggle house he inherited from his parents, so it wouldn't be difficult to start there.

Although Snape may know something, it is best not to ask him if we do not want Dumbledore to know our movements."

"What, you know Snape's address?"

"Ah, well, when it comes to odd jobs, like collecting high-quality herbs or helping to mix potions that require two people to operate, Snape often entrusts me with tasks. He is considered a big client."

The Weasley family has never had the wealth, power or political influence of other pure-blood nobles. Especially after his father made certain remarks, the whole family worked together to focus on the family's security, so their external influence was almost zero.

Over the past few decades, their already small influence has been further weakened because they simply do not have the time or energy to engage in those activities.

They have always avoided getting involved in departments like Auror, which could help them get promoted and exert influence, because they are busy with work.

However, the Weasley family is large, and almost every generation has attended Hogwarts, so they have unlimited access to information from Hogwarts.

Since the family has almost no unearned income, everyone needs to work after graduation.

Many families have two working wives, so you can get some information from your wife.

Since they are not part of the dark magic forces, they are less likely to arouse suspicion and it is easier to obtain information.

The family has never abandoned the Squibs, so they can get their help in the Muggle world.

The Weasley family's strength lies in their ability to gather information extensively from both the wizarding and Muggle worlds.

Because of his father's remarks, the Weasley family was once targeted by dark wizards, which also made the unity within the family closer.

Therefore, no one in the family fell into darkness.

Because of this, the Light faction, especially Dumbledore's supporters, often treat them as companions, are unsuspecting of them, and are willing to share information.

Although the Weasley family is often ridiculed for having many children and grandchildren, they do play a role in maintaining the prosperity of the wizarding world.

In contrast, other pure-blood noble families have few heirs, and many families are facing a succession crisis.

Ultimately, this sense of crisis may be the very reason that Voldemort exploited.

However, the bearded Dumbledore does not seem to want to just eliminate those pure-blood nobles who are inclined to darkness. In any case, these families may choose to join the dark forces because of the existential crisis.
