Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 171 It’s good that you can reflect

Ron was always the first to tell me about something he noticed and always asked me to help him deal with it.

I thought to myself, there are so many adults in the Weasley family, why do they have to drag me into this?

Every time I was the first one to be asked, I had to get involved, and every time I was dragged into it, I always felt a little annoyed.

But in the end, those who appreciate me are often the most.

Actually, the truth is that it was Ron who first brought up the issue! I really want to say that, but if I speak up, things tend to go more smoothly. So I have no choice.

Whether it was the Weasleys, the Malfoys, or the heads of other pure-blood noble families, they all strictly ordered that Ron should not be involved in the turmoil, and they also clearly told me that I was Ron's companion.

Therefore, I was always asked to accompany Ron. Although I thought so in my heart, the end result was that I was often praised as "becoming more and more like the head of the Black family."

Should this make me happy?

I was actually relieved when Ron arrived and nothing happened.

Whenever this happened, Harry would always chuckle beside him.

Then, the rumor about the blood curse reached us from Bill.

Bill already had experience in breaking curses in several pure-blood families, so he began to investigate secretly.

Several families discovered signs of the blood curse through simple investigations, so Bill planned to officially begin the work of breaking the curse after graduation.

First, he would start with the children whose lives were threatened due to severe curses.

It is uncertain whether the curse can be removed from adults. Even if it is possible, it will take a long time, and after the curse is removed, the best it can do is delay the progress of the curse.

Therefore, the families decided to start with those children who had not yet been seriously affected.

On the other hand, secret investigations also found that some families began to give birth to Squibbles (children who could not use magic), and some of these children showed signs of being cursed.

They plan to try to break the curse, though their success is unclear.

These children haven't been born yet, and the parent generation of the family hasn't shown any reaction, so this may be a high-difficulty curse that was cast recently.

We therefore ordered that before the curse could be officially lifted, a thorough investigation must be conducted to determine if anyone harbored strong grudges against these families.

Some families even volunteered to help break the curse. In particular, the two families that taught me a lot when I was a child are now very close, sharing a large number of cursed items from their respective families with each other, and enjoying it.

They also shared their research results with the Weasley children.

Why must it be in my house? Can't they just do it in their own house? But now, they have become experts in curses and curse removal.

The two families not only solved many blood curses that had been passed down from generation to generation, but also lifted many complex curses that used hair and blood.

It is a miracle that we have come this far without any harm, probably because the strength of both sides is equal.

They made no attempt to reconcile or lift the curse, but simply developed new magic to combat it.

Therefore, they are experts in casting curses, removing curses, and countering magic.

It was really funny to think that they had cursed each other to such an extent just because of some trivial things. But at least now it seems that these efforts have not been in vain.

I also asked Bill to help us manage the family's wealth and funds, and of course, the cursed items. Finally, Bill agreed. Although he was still in school, he started to help me with the work during the summer vacation. He was really smart and helped me a lot. Ron and the twin brothers listened to Bill, but never listened to me.

Now I understand why my mother yelled at me when I was a kid because I didn't listen to her and always made her angry. Although I don't yell at people, I can understand that feeling now. Facing those innocent but talkative children, I feel helpless.

Once, not only Ron, but also Harry said, "Your mother is actually a very loving and good mother, isn't she?" At first I didn't believe it, but slowly I began to think that maybe they were right. She really wanted to take care of me so hard because she loved me. Her energy was simply endless, which really required a lot of love to support. I know that I was deeply loved. And now when I face the Weasley brothers, I no longer have the energy to be angry, and I can only let them toss and turn. I understand this feeling very well.

I eventually realized, albeit belatedly, that my mother was a loving mother, even if her parenting style was not for me. I apologized to the mother in the painting, but we ended up arguing, which only confirmed that she and I were not compatible.

I was tormented by these naughty children every day. When I saw Bill coming home during the summer vacation, I was so excited that I cried. I really don’t know when I became so fond of crying.

Taking this opportunity, I begged Bill to come to work at the Black family. I said to him, "I can't handle your brothers, and I can't handle these things at home. Please, come to work at the Black family." Bill smiled and agreed.

He is so nice. Is this what it feels like to be a big brother? Although I am much older than him, Bill's brotherly aura is really invincible. Looking at Bill, I couldn't help but regret that I should have taken better care of Regulus. I reflected on this for a long time. Bill almost raised Ron himself. There were no house elves in the family, and his parents didn't take care of their children much, so he had almost had the experience of taking care of his younger brother since he was a child. It can be said that his tolerance is extraordinary.

That day, after I tearfully begged Bill to come to work, Bill left. Harry said to me, "If you have children in the future, even if he has a different personality from you, you must take care of him and guide him gently." Harry said, "It's good that you can reflect, but you can't live in regret all the time. You must look forward to the future." He comforted me gently.

Harry is such a good kid. I reflected on my shortcomings, but also told myself that from now on, I can do what I can do. Harry always encourages me: "There are many things that only people from the Black family can do!"

Yes, there is still much I can do as a member of the Black family, and this will contribute to the future of the wizarding world.
