Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Also, I have undergone some changes.

Although I am still in the third grade, I started to receive employment counseling for some reason. I also received counseling on other matters.

Oh no... Is it because I have no one to consult after moving from Hogsmeade to Avaforth? If that person didn't really like goats so much, he would be a valuable talent...

Because I didn't know what to do, I wrote a letter to my uncle for consultation. As a result, he sent me a document from Ms. Belinda in the consulting room who passed away a few years ago. It mentioned that she would ask the other party to sign before conducting the consultation.

-This is just a consultation, not a prediction of the future or fortune telling. Please prepare the consultation content in advance.

-Since it is a consultation, you still have to make important decisions yourself. Consultation is just material for decision-making.

-Once you make a decision, take responsibility for the outcome.

- If you cannot comply with the above, no inquiries will be accepted.

I see. This is definitely not fortune-telling. It would be troublesome if it was misunderstood.

I took this paper to see Mr. Prince for consultation.

"Yeah. But it's not appropriate to charge money, right?

Besides, wouldn't it be troublesome if there were too many people asking for advice? Especially for students, especially girls, it would be troublesome if they came frequently for consultation? Girls of that age tend to get addicted to things like fortune-telling.

I don’t feel good about it.”

After hearing these words, I went to the Slytherin students where Draco, Blaise and Theodore were.

"Yeah. I understand why you want to consult, but Ron, you are also a student."

"really……"

"I can understand your mood..."

Pansy began to speak.

"Really? Do you really need my advice so much?"

"Of course! Our business started because of Ron's recommendation!"

"Yeah. But after all, Pansy's family is very nice, so it's suitable for such things, and you have good taste. Without these, it wouldn't be successful.

Vincent and Gregory are only interested in food, so they obviously don't have that kind of taste?"

That's right, Pansy already has a fiancé. He's a distant relative who has been friends with the Parkinson family for a long time, but he's not rich, so her parents have always hoped to have him as their son-in-law if they have the money. He's a trustworthy man. Although he's a little older than Pansy, he's always been Pansy's adored brother, so she happily accepted him. I've also met him, a gentle man who always supports Pansy's suggestions with a smile. However, he's smart and steady, and can support Pansy well, so I can understand why her parents want Pansy to marry him. He also did a good job in the immigration negotiations in Avafors, so we can start developing Hogsmeade with confidence next. I heard that the development funds were obtained from a certain noble, and they provided a house in the countryside.

The development plan for Hogsmeade has already begun, involving the village head of Hogsmeade, the Shopkeepers Association, the Hogwarts Board of Directors, the Ministry of Magic, and the Pure-Blood Nobles Alliance. Since we spent a year preparing the plan, it will be up to the adults to carefully review and properly handle it. We plan to build a village that students and families with children can enjoy with peace of mind.

"But, Ron was also the one who pushed for the cooking of those two people, right?"

"Ah, really? But those two were only interested in food. I wanted them to learn in the beginning, and I borrowed money from Mr. Lucius because I needed money for cooking, so I developed it in that direction. If Draco went to Hogwarts without knowing the alphabet, it would be very difficult for him. That's why I did this."

"…That's true. Thank you, Ron. Just imagining it gives me a headache now. If I go like that and enter Slytherin based on their academic ability, I will be the one who has the hardest time anyway!"

"That's why I asked Mr. Lucius for money! He thought the same thing, so he donated generously. After all, he could imagine how difficult it would be for his son. He is indeed an overprotective father, which is great, right? However, the result turned out to be like this, which is completely beyond my imagination."

"Ron, it was you who pushed them to be only interested in food, right? You were also pushing them to learn foreign languages? Those two are the most multilingual people in Hogwarts right now, right?"

"This is really difficult... I can understand their feelings..."

"Yeah... If you easily agree to someone's request, it seems that various requests will continue to pour in. It's really scary..."

“Maybe there won’t even be time to study.”

Wow, it seems that there really is such a great demand... In this case, can I make a living freely like Mr. Edgar?

"I want to consult my father."

"Yes, go ask Mr. Lucius. Oh, by the way, there is a man named Quirrel who works at the Black family's learning institution and is sponsored by the Black family to go to Muggle University. He is studying to obtain qualifications to teach people with learning disabilities, and I heard that he also wants to obtain qualifications as a psychological counselor. Can you ask him to obtain qualifications after graduation and come to Hogwarts as a counselor a few times? I'm not an expert."

Later, Draco told me that Mr. Lucius had replied to me.

"My father said that if I received counseling in school, I would lose control and get into trouble, so it would be better to stop."

"really."

"He also mentioned that money transactions on campus from the time he was a student could easily lead to trouble."

“It’s a real source of trouble.”

"But he understands your desire for consultation, so he suggested that you go to Diagon Alley for consultation during the long holidays. Belinda does business in that form, and the fees for students don't seem to be expensive."

"Oh, I'll ask my family more about Belinda when I get home, and then make a judgment, right?"

"Or, we can limit the number of people who can consult to those who specifically request it from the dormitory administrator or teacher. Perhaps those who want to consult now can't wait until the next holiday. It might be better to consult the teachers first and only respond when the teachers think it is necessary."

"Ah, I understand."

"By the way, regarding Quiril, he and the Council have both agreed, and are coordinating with the relevant departments to have him come over once he's qualified. Father's letter states so, so it should be no problem."

So, I called together the administrators and guidance teachers of each dormitory. Now there are many job-seeking students who want to get consultation. After consideration, we decided to open in Diagon Alley from next summer vacation, but I don’t want to ignore the senior students who beg me for help, so I first asked the teachers to help, and only those who still want to consult me ​​were introduced to me.

The teachers also expressed their understanding.

I decided to answer this question to senior students who came to me for consultation. As a result, the number of people who came to me decreased significantly. Although it decreased, I still had about three people who came to talk to me every week.

I wondered if it was really okay to just listen to them and respond casually, but on the way home, everyone left feeling refreshed, so I guess it was okay.

Then, after returning home from the holidays, I went to meet an uncle from my family.

Hearing Belinda's story, her uncle said that there were always people who relied on divination to find her in a specific place, which annoyed her, so she changed the place at random every time. Belinda spent her last life wandering, and her family was always moving between the Wesleys.

My uncle smiled bitterly and said that the more capable people in the Wesley family are, the more likely they are to drift, which is really a headache. Well, Edgar is almost the same.

So the family kept the box that Belinda used when she opened the consulting room. Inside were a few small tables and chairs, and a handmade consulting room sign.

However, my uncle told me that I was still a minor and was forbidden to use magic during the holidays, so it would be very troublesome if something happened. I heard that Belinda would disappear quickly when she got into trouble. People who do divination business also need to be able to escape quickly.

Oh, I see. It's not easy for merchants.

It is said that stupid people tend to want to keep people close to them. Belinda said that Muggles are more easily seduced, so it is easier in this regard.

Well, that really bothers me.

Just when I was worried, the Malfoy family sent a notice.

They suggested that the Blacks and Malfoys had already secured a venue, so they might as well open the business there first. They would of course hire guards, so I could rest assured.

“Is it really necessary to make such an exaggeration?”

"Ron's consultation is very popular. You are still a minor, so it is always better to be careful. If you want to open a business, you must ensure safety before you can get a license."

"Really? I'll give it a try then. Do I not have to pay for the guards?"

"It should be fine. Try to accept it."

"Okay, I get it. Let's do it."

So, the business started. Before accepting the consultation, I made it clear that I hope the consultant can clearly state the focus of the consultation, because I don’t have any supernatural powers to see the future, have visions or make predictions. I almost followed Belinda’s method.

Although I didn't advertise it, the store was busy every day when it opened. But I would be very tired just doing that, so I also participate in chess competitions every summer. I only open when I'm in a good mood.

I wondered if I could really charge for this. But everyone left satisfied and the fee was not high, so I was not upset. After all, this is a consultation room.

In order to make this business a success, I vowed to master the art of invisibility.

Just like that, the summer was over. Although the amount was not much, it accumulated bit by bit and became a considerable income. Will this business be successful? If I can continue to live in Aunt An's house after graduation, I can live a leisurely life? Of course, I will pay for living expenses and rent, but if she asked me if I could continue to live there, and saw her tears of joy, I decided to continue living there. Indeed, except for me, everyone else is about to move out.
