Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

So, what to do.

About Arthur. For now, I'm letting the old Weasleys live with him, but I'm not comfortable with that.

I decided to start by asking them one by one, from the top down, if Arthur wanted to see me.

"Do you want to see Arthur?"

"…………"

Bill smiled a magnificent and beautiful smile in silence... the smile that always appeared on his mother's face when she was angry...

"…I'm sorry for asking such a silly question."

Well, after all, if Bill saw Arthur, he would probably kill him, so it would be best if they never met...

So, adjust your mood and move on to the next one.

"Do you want to see Arthur?"

I asked Charlie.

"Well... so... have you asked your brothers yet?"

"Not yet. I plan to ask one by one from top to bottom."

"Well, wait till I hear their opinions before making a decision?"

"Do you want to see Arthur?"

Percy twisted his face and was silent for a while. After thinking for a while, he replied:

"...Yes, I don't want to see him anymore. But if my brothers want to see him, I'll be worried, so just follow them. I won't take the initiative to see him..."

"Yeah, I see."

"Do you want to see Arthur?"

I asked if it was Fred or George. I still couldn't tell them apart, but I asked anyway. How could Ron tell them apart? According to the twins, they had never been mistaken since they were born. Even when I asked Ron if he had any tricks to tell them apart, he just said he could tell them apart roughly. So there was no good way at all, because they looked exactly the same, but they looked different in my eyes, so there was no way to explain it.

When I heard this, I gave up trying to tell the difference.

In order to prevent them from switching, I asked the other person to wait in another room.

"Well... I don't care about my father anymore. I don't hate him, but I don't like him either. There's no need to meet him.

But if Percy wants to see me, I'll be worried so I'll go along."

"Percy also said that if his brothers wanted to meet, he could meet them too."

"Really? That's possible. Among our brothers, Percy is the one who caused the most trouble to our father. Percy himself probably doesn't want to see him again, right?"

"That's what he said."

"Then it's gone."

I asked another person in another room.

"Do you want to see Arthur?"

"If Percy wants to see me, I'll be worried so I go along, but if not, I don't want to see him."

"Yes."

"What did Percy say?"

"He said he didn't want to see it, but if his brothers wanted to see it, he would be worried so he went with them."

"Ah, then there's no chance of meeting him. Ron doesn't want to meet him either. He's even more indifferent to his father than we are."

……

I went to ask Long.

"You look tired, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to say?"

"Did you want to see Arthur?"

"Ah, I see. You're worried about being alone. I understand! Are you living with your grandparents now? It's a little uneasy to be alone with them. You can't follow them to work and keep an eye on them all the time. You're really old, but you still have to worry about not being able to leave their sight. You're even worse than Sirius. In comparison, although Sirius is childish, he still has a sense of responsibility.

You have to take care of your brother all the time, it's not easy."

"...Do you understand how I feel?"

"Of course! Well, the chat might be quite long, how about we chat over a cup of tea?"

"I made some snacks at Auntie An's this morning. Can we go over there and chat over tea? The other brothers are still at the ancestral home tonight, so can we chat there alone?"

"Ok."

We moved to Aunt An's house and Long prepared tea and snacks for me.

"What is this green cake? It's bittersweet and really delicious."

"This is matcha that I brought back from Japan. I grind the tea leaves there into powder. I went to a cake shop with Vincent and Gregory and thought it was delicious, so we are discussing whether to use this to make desserts."

"This tea is sweet and delicious even though it's warm. Even though there's no sugar added, the tea itself has a sweet taste. The aroma is also very fresh."

“This is a super premium tea, and unlike black tea, it cannot be brewed at high temperatures.

The home of the snake god, strictly speaking, where he lives is the divine domain. No one except him can enter, but there is a house where guests can be received. I went there with the Malfoy family. The tea they brewed was really delicious, so I asked what it was. The answer I got was that it was a tribute from believers. There was so much that they couldn't finish it, and they gave me several boxes. Later I checked it out and found the price was amazing. "

"You're such a gourmet...is it because you didn't eat much when you were a kid?"

"Speaking of my dad, it's true that being alone is scary. By the way, I don't have any feelings for him, so it doesn't matter if I see him or not, but what can I talk about if I do? My dad and I hardly ever talk about anything."

“Almost?”

Just thinking about their lives gives me a headache.

"Yes. About what was said... I remember that mom wanted Ginny to take out my treasure, but I didn't want to, so I asked dad if he could talk about it. By the way, his answer at that time was 'You are the older brother, so you have to give in to her'."

"What a guy..."

"Beyond that, there are very few memories that speak to that. Biologically he is my father, but my father is Bill. Bill is my mother, my father, and my brother. And Charlie.

I am not interested in him. What can you talk about with someone you are not interested in? I care about my father to the same extent as I care about Bhatti’s father. ”

"Have you seen Crouch?"

"No. However, I also have this feeling towards the father of a friend whom I have never met. I heard that he is not a bad person. Sometimes he would send me a very high-end black tea set and let me taste tea with my son. The tea he sent is really good. Moreover, every time, in addition to the common varieties, he would also send me some tea that I didn't know. Each one is delicious and he really understands my taste. Even though I have never met him! It's really amazing. People who can do this are different. I am always surprised.

Crouch gave me those unfamiliar varieties, which made me occasionally take risks in tea shops, and I bought high-end ones thinking they were good. However, when I went home to drink tea, I found that it was not right... I thought it was suitable for me in the store, but I didn't like it when I got home. However, Crouch's tea selection was not wrong. He was really amazing. He could guess the taste of someone I had never met, but why couldn't he understand his son's feelings better? It was a mystery.

However, I am not interested in meeting him/her directly. If he/she really wants to meet me, I can do that.

That's all I can say about my father. If he really wants to see me, I can consider meeting him. But I feel that he has no interest in me, no concern for me, no contact with me at all, and doesn't seem to want to see me in particular.

Crouch is more interested and might want to talk to me about his son."

No, after hearing what he said now, Long's attention to Arthur is much lower than that to Crouch, right?

This was just an emotion towards a stranger he had never met. Although there was no resentment like Bill, it was still too cruel. However, this was also Arthur's own fault.

"Your sons are all very outstanding, right? That's why they are getting attention from all sides."

"Ah, that's true too... But dad doesn't have good taste. I don't want him to get entangled with other weird people. I really don't want to cause trouble."

"That's true, but I just can't understand why he chose Molly instead of his original fiancée."

"I understand! That person is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality, is a great cook, and listens to people very seriously. Although she is very steady, she won't steal the limelight too much. She is really my father's ideal wife.

Why would he choose Mom when there is such a woman... Well, maybe Dad and Mom are both naive? They can't see the reality. "

"Besides, when Molly the Goldbug and Ginny are gone, they should have money, and they will talk about wanting to remarry, right?"

"That's right. Although the tuition and child support for the four of us have been transferred, it was originally supposed to be paid by Dad, but now he feels free, which is really disturbing. In fact, he has nothing to do with us a long time ago, right?"

"Yes. We didn't ask for a refund of the money we supported you. After all, this means you are giving up all your rights."

"The only ones bound by the blood contract are Dad, Mom, Ginny this time, and the children of Mom and Ginny that will be born in the future. However, if Dad remarries, those children will not be included."

"Yeah. Although you're depressed now because of the blow you've received, you should be able to return to normal after a while, right?"

"Sure enough, uncle, you understand!

Dad has a trait that negative emotions don't last long, right? I am the same. This is where my father and I may be similar.

So, I understand. Now he must feel abandoned by his mother and Ginny and be very depressed, but after a while, he will definitely live with an expression of indifference. Then, as you said, he may not reflect at all and will shamelessly consider remarriage. "

"What do you think we should do? Do you have any good ideas?"

"Well... how about asking him to return all the money he spent on our adoption, the money he spent on the adoption, all our living expenses and education expenses in the future, as well as the help from you and Pulvert, and the money he stole from my mother's brothers? Oh, yes, we can also add the compensation paid by both families when my mother broke off the engagement?

And the money spent on this contract? I heard that you hired lawyers from the Wesleys, Pulverts, and the Blacks, right? Moreover, I heard from Batty that Bill also developed a contract magic that would completely sever ties with our mother, Ginny, and any future children. Doesn't that sound impressive? Even Sirius was shocked.

Strictly speaking, it is possible to not violate the previous contract in name, but instead of asking for the repayment of funds, find an excuse, such as apology money or something? Make him pay it back once a month. In order to keep the negative emotions of my father, let my uncle, Bilius, aunt, or anyone who is free meet in person every month and repay the money in cash. If we don't meet in person, he will recover quickly, right? Then he will probably completely forget about my mother and us, and will be happy with someone else immediately. Therefore, every time we meet, we have to poke him.

Although it is unclear how many years it will take to pay off the debt, my father is not a bad person. As long as he can pay off the debt, he will not consider remarrying. To be honest, it is impossible to pay off the debt with my father's salary. In other words, he may be tied up until his death."

"I see... Even if someone wants to pay off Arthur's debt, Arthur won't like that kind of person."

"He has surprisingly strong self-esteem. He will probably say that this is the money he should pay. He won't start a new marriage while paying it back, right? Once he makes a decision, he will stick to it to the end."

"If only I could use the money from the repayment to buy some more nice furniture for the Wesleys?"

"That's great! We can ask Pansy to help. I don't know how long it will take, but she can definitely do it tastefully.

But if he remarries, I hope my father can find someone like this. Is this person still single? "

Ron pointed to Amelia Bones, who was reported in the newspaper as the Speaker of Wizganmont.

"She is a working woman who can live independently without relying on her husband's income and is also mentally independent."

"Ah."

"Of course, this ideal is beautiful, but Arthur doesn't really like being dependent on his wife, right? He doesn't accept the mentality of his wife going further than him. He can't be a full-time househusband, right? Anyway, he is a bit willful and likes to be taken care of."

"And such an independent woman would never choose a man like Arthur."

"Yes, that's right. Then, it would be realistic to stab him for as long as possible and make him pay off his debt."

"Is that so? Then I'll do this?"
