Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

After Sirius and Hermione's marriage was confirmed, the problem arose with Kreacher and Ms. Walburga, both of whom were staunch pure-bloods.

Kritcher decided to adopt him by me and Ms. Lucretia. Kritcher happily agreed to my request, and we got Sirius's permission, distributed Regulus's belongings, and prepared to move to Ms. Lucretia's Pruett Villa.

In other paintings of the Black family, I explained the situation to the oldest and rather dignified one, who easily understood. The characters in other paintings also accepted my persuasion. They mentioned that if marrying Muggle-borns was just a thing for this generation, and the next generation would return to normal marriages, then persuasion was okay. I mentioned in passing how good Hermione was at Hogwarts.

The dark aura around Sirius was getting stronger and stronger, and the darkness in the house was becoming too much to handle. But it seemed that he understood that because he effectively used this thick darkness and properly sorted and handled the dark magic items that should not belong to the Black family, the air in the house became fresher. Although he behaved a little strangely when he was a child, as the head of the Black family, he did fulfill his duties, so I could recognize him. In addition, I also received his praise, saying that both you and I did a good job, and although he was unhappy about me introducing a Muggle-born into the Black family, he would approve if I thought it was better.

All that’s left is…

"Hey, Sirius. Can I lift Ms. Walburga's curse?"

"Curse? What is that?"

"It was a curse she inflicted on herself."

"…I understand. You are allowed to do it."

I went to Madam Walburga and listened carefully to her stories from childhood to the present, especially her memories of Hogwarts. I carefully pointed out the contradictions many times, shaking her memory and touching her heart. Although she only existed in the painting, it still hurt her heart, but Hermione was a Muggle-born. She would never be accepted as Sirius' wife. For this, I had no choice but to be willing.

Although she now exists only in memory, when I carefully dug into her memory, there came a moment when I realized that she remembered.

“Aa ...

Her crying continued for a whole week. Sirius said nothing about it. When her crying gradually subsided, I went to her again.

"Do you remember?"

"...Yes. I..."

"Are you in love with Tom?"

"Yes, I guess that's love. But I can't even accept it myself."

"So, you rewrote your memory of Voldemort to show that he was a pure-blood wizard, and that he was the embodiment of pure-bloodism in your heart."

“…Yes…I think so….

...I was the one who chased Regulus. Maybe I also pushed Tom to the edge... Orion and Abraxas... They were both trying to keep me from breaking down..."

"...Yes. A man always wants to perform better for the woman he likes. He may also have an inferiority complex about his bloodline, which makes him even more so."

"You are so cruel..."

"Yes. But maybe it's for the future? Please listen to me calmly."

Then I talked about Sirius's marriage. Of course, I also mentioned that a Japanese sorcerer who was good at analysis had given us the approval. By the way, I told her that Ms. Walburga was easily influenced and might further disrupt her mental balance.

"……Yes."

She whispered softly.

"So. I have a proposal that Krichter take this opportunity to move in with Ms. Lucretia. After I graduate, I will live alternately with Aunt Ann and Ms. Lucretia.

So, I want to ask Ms. Walburga if you would like to come with us. Hermione is very good, but for the sake of our comfort, I think it is best not to be together. Now I am asking my brother to prepare to move the painting. So, would you like to come with us?"

"...Is that so? Can you let me think about it?"

"Well. There's still time before the wedding, I hope you can think about it before then."

She seemed to want to be alone, so I left for a while.

I told Sirius as well, hoping he could talk to her calmly.

A few days later, Sirius contacted me and said his mother wanted to move away. It was the first time I heard him not call her "old woman."

So, after receiving the notice that Bill had used magic to remove the painting, I immediately went with Lady Lucretia to greet Lady Walburga and Kritcher.

Her face had a gentle expression, like a stranger. This was probably her nature. She and Sirius also talked calmly.

"Well, mother, I'm going to go out and play. When I have children, I will definitely bring them to see you. I look forward to seeing you there."

This was the first time I had a normal conversation with her.

"Then let's go."

"Yes, from now on, we will live a more quiet life."

"...Yes, I decided to take my time..."

"Yes, ma'am!"

She said as she moved to Villa Pruette with the house-elf holding the painting.

In this way, I was busy with my work at Hogwarts on weekends, and on weekdays I had a good time with the elders and Kreacher, opening consulting rooms here and there to earn some pocket money to live.
