Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Mother Molly, or...

Four days had passed since Molly Weasley sent the "rant mail". During this time, although there was no obvious action, the day after the "rant mail" was sent, my father Arthur sent a letter saying that he was revoking the "severance of relations" and hoped that I would forgive my mother Molly Weasley. And my mother also sent an apology letter, saying that she lost control of her emotions at the time and said something she shouldn't have said. It seems so. But these letters were reviewed and disposed of by my more overprotective brothers before I saw them.

For me, I no longer regard them as "parents". Instead, I am more concerned about whether the letter has been delivered to my eldest brother Bill in Egypt.

On the morning of the fourth day, the long-awaited reply from eldest brother Bill finally arrived.

———To be honest, my elder brother Bill is really the elder brother I can rely on. He has done more than my expectations and even stunned me.

Next, I need to explain how the "Owl Post" in the wizarding world works before I can explain what was written in the letter from my eldest brother Bill.

I mentioned before that the wizarding world has an organization called the Owl Mail Receiving Office, which is divided by region.

Hogwarts students usually use their own pets or the school's own owls to send owl mail. The same is true for correspondence between families, but if it is a company or other organization, or the recipient is located overseas, the mail must first pass through the nearest "Owl Post Office" (if it is an overseas address, the mail will be further sent to London).

For companies, if mail is sent in the name of an individual, there may be problems later due to suspected collusion or other troubles, so official mail must be sent through the "Owl Mail Receiving Office" or it will not be delivered effectively. However, international mail has different regulations.

For international mail, firstly, the burden on owls is too heavy, and secondly, an important function is involved.

The "Owl Post Office" is not only responsible for sending and receiving mail, but also for preventing overseas smuggling, which is equivalent to a tax inspection. If a private person is found to be communicating directly with a foreign country, he or she will be fined and may be searched.

International mail is processed centrally at local "Owl Post Offices" and then sent to the "Comprehensive International Owl Post Office" in London, where it is then sorted and inspected according to the destination country.

———In fact, the contents of the emails are not directly exposed. They are checked by magical devices that can detect specific words or dangerous objects (including plants and animals). The function of this device can be roughly compared to a combination of an X-ray and a scanner, but in order to avoid being circumvented, its specific working principle is not made public (Fred and George once complained and wanted to see how these devices work with their own eyes).

After inspection, mail that is judged to be "no problem" will be stored in a special "mobile portal" type locker. Then, it will be delivered to the destination country at a specified time. Correspondingly, mail from the other country will also be sent to the UK at the same time.

The forwarding itself is very rapid, so in some cases international mail can arrive even faster than domestic owl mail.

So even if it was sent to Egypt, I felt that it was not right to have no news for four days. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the reply letter came, which shocked not only me, but also Patsy, Fred and George.

———I didn’t expect that my letter would make my elder brother Bill so angry that he hurried back to England. Not only did he take away the position of “parent” from Arthur, he also “exiled” my parents. This was really beyond my expectation…
