Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

In the Prewett family's study, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old man in front of me.

"Uncle, I didn't tell Molly in the end. Is that really okay?"

"Hmph, it's useless even if I tell you! The first time I saw my granddaughter, she was indeed very cute. Even if I disciplined her strictly, I'm afraid it would only cause disgust.

That's just her personality, so I discipline her strictly.

But what is the result? Although I am strict, my children are the last generation of our family, unlike your family which has other descendants.

She herself felt that I was stricter with her than with her brothers, but as the only girl, she was actually spoiled more.

So, to maintain balance, I felt I should at least be strict with her.

I also deliberately chose a fiancé for her who could tolerate her indulgent personality.

If the fiancé wasn't so upright, things wouldn't have developed to that point.

I think what Molly found more difficult to accept was that her fiancé did not act the way she expected, rather than the fact that she had found a new lover.

Raising a child is so difficult..."

I sighed:

"Alas, my youngest brother and I don't have any children, so it's hard to comment. However, Arthur's fiancée was also a reliable person. Isn't this similar to Molly?"

"But those two people were probably more attracted to each other because of their similar personalities. For example, they both ignored other people's advice and signed the contract without carefully checking the contents of the contract. They were so similar in this regard. This made us feel a lot more relaxed."

"In a sense, they are actually very simple, just a little stupid."

"Oh, they are. Fortunately, they are not the type to say, 'Wait, I'll go to a lawyer,' 'Wait, I'll go to a borrower,' 'Wait, I'll go to a mediator,' or we would be in big trouble."

"It's incredible that they are still alive and well."

"Because I have severed ties with them."

The label of a pure-blood family is not easy to bear, and even the Prewett family, who have no heirs, have no intention of ending their ties with Molly.

Therefore, the dark forces in the outside world would let them go. After all, the couple was so stupid that even the dark wizards would not bother to kill them.

"Severing ties has become a way to protect those two people."

"Yes... It was precisely because of this heavy sign that they acted like eloping. That might be what they thought happiness looked like..."

"Although Dumbledore is using them, what is he thinking?"

"Who knows...Since Arthur and his wife's sons were taken to the Weasley family, which is not under their control, Dumbledore may think that their value has been greatly reduced? Originally, he may have wanted to use the names of Weasley and Prewett, but since they were severed from the relationship, their value has been reduced. The contract signed this time officially confirmed the severance of the relationship. They can no longer have any contact with Weasley and Prewett and their sons, so their value of use is close to zero, right?"

"Dumbledore may have intended to use their sons, as can be seen from Bill's incident."

"After all, their children are all very good, aren't they? Ronald is the same age as Harry Potter, so they originally had some value to use, but now that value is gone. They will no longer seek help from Dumbledore or members of the Order of the Phoenix, and it will become difficult for Dumbledore to use them as pawns."

“But being perceived to be less valuable actually makes them safer.

Basically, just put those two in that little paradise and they'll be happy.

As their children say, they live in a closed world.

That’s why they had left their sons alone until now, yet they had not been targeted by anyone and had escaped unscathed.

I don't think they were ever a high priority in Dumbledore's mind.

After all, there are many more active fanatics.

Although they are closed in their own world and not very useful, with a little guidance they will act the way you want.

So, Dumbledore just used them occasionally?

But with the signing of this contract, their actions were restricted, and it became difficult for Dumbledore to easily control them.

Arthur is stupid and may not understand this, but Molly is more scheming. I think she has doubts about Dumbledore in her heart? As long as they succeed in implanting such doubts, they should not hand over their daughter easily, right?

If Dumbledore had sensed Molly's doubts, he might have concluded that they were completely worthless.

Even if he intended to use their daughter, she was their only child and they would not hand her over easily.

Therefore, their usefulness to Dumbledore is zero.

But this is not a bad thing for them.

The same was true for Ginny.

Having no value has become a way to protect oneself.

They didn't have the wherewithal to deal with it cleverly, so this was for the best, right?

They may not be able to handle their own sons, but they can handle a daughter.”

"…You are very young, but you are very powerful. I completely misjudged Dumbledore back then."

Molly's father seemed a little depressed, as if blaming himself for the fact that his trust had killed his sons.

I nodded and said:

"Well, because our family is special, due to my father's relationship, I became the de facto head of the family when I was eight years old. In terms of the number of years as the head of the family, I have more experience than you.

My father was framed by Dumbledore, and I suffered a lot because of it.

Maybe it's different from the average wizard family?

However, let’s keep these words as a secret between us.”

Dumbledore was a very well-prepared man, and was good at taking advantage of others.

Just like the incident of the hidden vault in the Prewett family, he would not do it himself, nor would he leave any direct evidence.

Even if the incident was exposed, he would deny it outright and intend to put all the blame on Molly.

He is good at guiding others into thinking that they made the choices themselves.

If you are not careful, people may pay the price with their lives.

In a sense, he is more troublesome than that man because he is acting under the banner of justice.

Dumbledore has many followers, and everyone trusts him unconditionally and believes that he is right.

So, everyone will do what he says, but they think that this is an action taken after independent thinking.

That's why he is even more dangerous.

Sooner or later, we will pursue the legacy of Gideon and Fabian, but we must choose our moment carefully.

Don't act rashly until you are absolutely sure that he is guilty.

Now is not the time.

Right now, we are investigating matters including the management of the Potter family’s fortune, but it seems to be even darker than the Prewetts.

However, there is a lack of conclusive evidence, and the other party may use the excuse of "working for Harry's secret" to escape responsibility.

That wasn't enough to bring him down.

We need something more.

We are currently selecting suitable collaborators from among the entire Weasley family, so please do not act alone.

We will conduct multiple screenings.

In conclusion, I ask them not to bring charges against Dumbledore until all investigations are completed.

If the revelations are piecemeal, the impact of the exposure may be weakened, and the other party may destroy evidence in other ways.

We want to solve this case in one fell swoop and accumulate enough evidence to ensure that we can arrest him.

They agreed, promising not to disclose the matter until we took action and to move with us.

Also, I told them that some of the kids might agree to go to the Prewetts in the future.

The Weasleys will not stop this, it is up to them to make an effort, so we encourage them to keep trying.

They seemed to have recovered somewhat and said they would come to see us soon.

Although they asked about the children's preferences, I couldn't give a specific answer because I hadn't had them for long. But I can be sure that the children have lived for a long time with scarcity through innovation and ingenuity, so they may not accept too luxurious items, and the habit of thrift has been deeply rooted. They may prefer practical things.

When I mentioned that the Weasleys had given them some clothes we no longer wore and that they were trying to alter the sizes themselves, the Prewetts responded that they had many people in their family who enjoyed crafts and planned to send those people to help the children first.

If they were gentle people who liked crafts, they could meet them at any time. They asked us to contact them at any time, and then Bilius and I went home.

The head of the Prewitt family asked:

"It went pretty well."

I nodded slightly:

"Well, getting testimony from Molly was a big breakthrough."

"But there is still a lack of decisive evidence to bring that person down."

The old man pondered for a while before speaking:

"That's true. Even with Harry's case, the impact is still not enough."

"If we can get Sirius Black out of Azkaban, he might side with us."

“But we can’t do that at this stage. We alone are not enough.”
