Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"Fred, George!"

"They're here to pick us up! Our whole family can go together! We don't have to stay here anymore!"

I shouted loudly and ran towards the forest.

Next to the tree they often visited, the two were busy taking out various things from their suitcases and doing some work on the special table.

I yelled and they looked up sharply, seeing the red-haired man standing behind me.

""marvelous!""

The two men cheered while standing on their chairs, then quickly jumped off and began picking up the scattered items.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?"

I turned around and asked the red-haired man.

"I'm Billy Weasley, your father's brother."

"My name also has Bilius in the middle. These two are Fred and George. You may not be able to tell them apart."

The two of them quickly cleaned up while chatting casually, chattering non-stop:

"Oh my god, Bill is so quick."

"Did Bill send you any letters?"

"Bill is the big brother we can rely on!"

"So, it was the Weasley family that took action?"

"Let's not talk about parents first, what about Ginny?"

"She'll probably stay there?"

"But it's not a good idea to let her continue to be raised by those parents, right?"

"You're stupid, it's already bad enough now, there's no point in saying anything more, right?"

"That's true of her personality, but we don't want to have to clean up the mess for her after she enters Hogwarts just because she's her younger sister."

"She definitely won't be able to make female friends, right? Remember that time in Diagon Alley when she acted so superior in front of the little girl who was one of her mom's classmates, and ended up being hated by them."

"Yeah, and then everyone was talking about it, and she was also avoided by girls her own age."

"But she cursed at others, saying things like 'They're not as pretty as me' and 'They're obviously ugly', which just added fuel to the fire."

"But she seems to have mistakenly believed that boys are there for her. I guess boys would hate her, too."

"But judging from her appearance, she is quite pretty. There will definitely be stupid boys who will be deceived by her appearance."

"She will only become a loose woman in the future!"

They continued to pack their things while exchanging casual yet sharp remarks.

"But Ginny is also a victim of her parents..."

I couldn't help but blurt it out.

““We also know that…””

"She's the only truly normal child in the family."

"Yes, she is a normal kid who listens to her parents and believes them."

"Oh, yes."

"What do you mean by normal kids...?"

Mr. Bilius asked, and Fred, George, and I paused for a moment.

Fred, who is good at communicating with people, explained:

"Well, to be honest, none of the boys in our family are normal. Even Ronald next to you has a mature soul living in his body."

"His mental age is probably about 90, more mature than his father and mother."

Not that old, but it is.

“We are precocious geniuses.”

“It may sound like bragging, but it’s the truth.”

"Big brother Bill is a special case in this family."

"Yes, his appearance, ability, and character are all outstanding. As long as Bill is at home, his mediocre parents and Ginny behave normally."

"Including us, as long as Bill is around, everyone will try to behave better."

"Ginny was a lovely little sister when Bill was home."

"Isn't my second brother Charlie a kind-hearted and powerful person?"

"Yes, he really is a guy with amazing strength!"

Bilius asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Charlie is very strong, so he is very careful when interacting with others. He is probably the most careful person in the family."

"Bill said that when Charlie was about three years old, he accidentally punched his father and knocked him flying, even breaking some of his bones."

"My parents thought it was a form of magic going haywire, but it's actually just that he's naturally strong. He's solid and muscular, but it's more than that. I think his muscles unconsciously carry magic."

"Bill said that after he knocked his father away, Charlie blinked and looked at his hands in confusion."

"Bill reminded him that he had to be careful when interacting with others because of his strength, so he has been very cautious and gentle since then."

"So, every time he hugged me, he would always ask carefully, 'Does it hurt? Are you okay?'"

"Indeed, even if it doesn't hurt too much sometimes, he can't hide it from saying it doesn't hurt."

"He will definitely see through your lies. Charlie is a thoughtful man with better observation skills than ordinary people."

"Although Charlie can't tell the difference between our appearances, lying can help him tell the difference. We once tried to tell ourselves 'I'm George, I'm George' over and over again for a whole day until we couldn't even tell if I was Fred or George. He still couldn't tell the difference, but it was really too much effort to do so. However, if we didn't do this, we wouldn't be able to fool him."

"So, my parents know that they can't hide it from Charlie, so they treat him with extra respect, and Ginny will listen to Charlie's advice."

“However, it may just be that they are afraid of Charlie’s power. If they really anger Charlie, their home may be blown away. This is not an exaggeration.”

"Charlie was able to move around easily with Percy carrying me on his shoulders, Percy carrying Bill on his shoulders, and George and Fred in his arms."

Bilius exclaimed: "...This is amazing."

"Percy is a relatively ordinary kid by comparison..."

"But he is smarter than the average kid, and he basically never forgets what he has seen."

"He is also very rigid and serious."

“He likes to follow rules the most.”

George said, looking directly at Mr. Bilius.

"A child's world is very small, right? Especially in our family, we have almost no relatives or neighbors. My parents' friends rarely come to visit us, and we don't have friends who visit each other often."

"Sometimes I go to Diagon Alley to play."

“The world we live in is probably a lot smaller than the average kid’s.”

"This is the parents' little kingdom, so to speak. The rules are set by the two of them. Basically, this kingdom only exists in their world. Because children don't know anything else, they naturally think that this world is correct."

"Percy likes everything to be right, even if there are some problems, he believes his parents are right, but when Bill and Charlie are gone, there is no one to correct his parents, Ronald tries to correct them."

"However, frankly speaking, in his parents' small world, Ronald is at the bottom, so in Ginny's worldview, Ronald is naturally lower than her. Although we are not at the bottom, we are regarded as troublemakers who may destroy this little paradise."

"So even if Ronald was right, the king and queen (the parents) would just be upset."

"They never reflected on their words and actions, but immediately tried to correct Ronald. We both thought Ronald was right and sided with him. Ultimately, it was a battle of 'who is more right'."

"But they thought they were right and the kids were wrong and simply excluded us."

"Maybe Percy's 'correctness' is completely lost?"

"For Percy, his parents were completely wrong, and it was completely beyond his common sense, so he didn't know how to deal with it and had a mental breakdown."

"But he finally realized that it was the parents who were wrong, not us."

"That's the difference between him and Ginny. He's very smart, and Ginny is very stupid. But then again, although Ginny is almost four years old, she's still only three years old, so you can't blame her."

After hearing what the twins said, I couldn’t help but whisper, “Did I do something wrong…Should I be more mature?”

"'Absolutely not!!'

They strongly rejected my idea, which made me feel a little relieved.

I began to stop cleaning up.

Fred said, "If it was Percy instead of Ronald who corrected his parents, maybe they would listen more?"

George shook his head and said, "Is that really the case? Percy has always been a good boy to his parents. If he corrects them, then he will no longer be a good boy in his parents' eyes, right?"

“Things could have been worse. This time, the incident didn’t hurt us directly, it just affected us. Even so, if Percy had faced his parents directly, the results might have been worse.

I sighed, "Yeah, Percy has always wanted to be loved by his parents, so he has always behaved well, which is why he was originally the most favored one among the four of us."

He was always a good kid but he was treated like that.

"Ronald doesn't submit to his parents at all in this regard. He has been like this since he was a baby. But he is like an old man inside. The same is true for the two of us. We only need each other, so we don't need much love from our parents."

"The parents ignored Ronald at first, but Ronald ignored them, which made them unhappy."

"Ronald gives the impression that he doesn't care about his parents at all, when in fact, his parents want him to be dependent on them, play by their rules, and acknowledge their kingship."

"They obviously treated the obedient Percy as a good boy and spoiled him. They deliberately let Ronald see this difference in treatment, but Ronald didn't care at all. He just looked at them with contempt when they doted on Ginny and didn't care at all."

"As a result, they became even colder towards Ronald. It was clearly they who were disrespectful to Ronald, yet they expected Ronald to respect them. This pair of parents... is really confusing."

"Of course, Ginny is also a victim. I was confused when I saw the smug look on her face when she took our things."

"Afterwards, if she had shown a little bit of apology, we might have thought she was cute, but she didn't do that at all. After seeing that scene, our sympathy completely disappeared."

“Yeah, I understand!”

I nodded to the twins and added:

“The four of us were fine with being deprived of food, especially when we were deprived of snacks, while she was pampered by her mother and enjoyed handmade cookies and cakes. She was unapologetic! Instead, she was immersed in the pride of being treated special.”

"I feel like we are completely different from her."

Fred also said, “When there were only two of us deprived of food, Percy and Ronald would secretly give us some.”

"And when the three of us were deprived of food more and more, Percy felt very sorry and would even cry and apologize to us at night for having to eat by himself. Although Percy was not at fault at all, he still felt pain, and eventually, he couldn't bear it anymore."

"Ginny, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She acts very proud, which is in stark contrast to Percy. I think she has been completely poisoned by her mother."

"She was poisoned to this extent in her childhood. She may be beyond help."

"She has completely become a resident of her parents' little kingdom. Once she leaves her parents' circle, she will inevitably be like a fish out of water."

"From this perspective, Ronald deviated from the rules of his parents' little paradise from the beginning, so they didn't like him, and although he lived with them, he would never become a formal resident."

George interrupted, "I understand. They're not happy about the two of us having our own world, right?"

"They have a strong desire to control, even though they are very cowardly outside..."

"They want to trap the children in the rules of their world, and Ginny is the only child who acts according to these rules, so they spoil her. Moreover, she is the daughter they have longed for, which makes their spoiling even worse."

"In fact, those rules are not absolute. Do they understand this themselves?"

“They tend to be strangely submissive to those who are more powerful than themselves, rather than sticking to their own principles.”

"Yes, they are unstable."

“When Perfect Bill is around, they prioritize following Bill’s rules, but when Bill is not around, they try to play by their own rules, and Mighty Charlie works to correct them.”

"As their rules gradually became more parent-centered, Bill came back from vacation and put things right again, and the cycle began again since Bill went to Hogwarts."

“When Charlie was gone, the system completely broke down.”

“We are so good, and our parents’ little kingdom is so small!”

"Okay, we're done!"

The twins shouldered their bags and high-fived each other.

Mr. Bilius smiled bitterly and said:

"Then, let's go."

"By the way, don't worry, your sister won't take you with her, and your parents won't let you go either."

"Now, hurry up and pack your luggage in the room. We should leave."

“All our important things are in this!”

"We've moved everything so Ginny can't take it."

“The only things left in the room were tattered clothes and underwear. ”

"Even if it's old, the Weasleys have better ones in the warehouse."

The twins imply that there is nothing to take away.

"But let's pack up Percy's usual things," I suggested with a smile.

Fred also raised his hand excitedly: "Can you bring back the book that Ginny took away...Percy's favorite book?"

I said casually, "Bill and Charlie's things...come to think of it they're still in there, only those that Fred and George helped hide."

There was nothing worth packing in my room except my old clothes.

Mr. Bilius noticed that the box seemed to be under an expansion spell, and asked casually:

"How is this going?"

“We made it ourselves!

The twins said in unison.

"We had seen a spell-extending chest in Diagon Alley before and we wanted one but we couldn't afford it so we thought, why not try to make one ourselves?"

“Although we had Bill’s help, we also worked hard on our own for a long time. We first spent a long time flipping through professional books in the bookstore. Even though the clerks were sarcastic to us, we still begged the store owner to let us study the products carefully. Although we didn’t buy any, we took some tips when helping with the work and asked the owner for some hints. After repeated trials, we finally completed it! "

The twins said proudly.

"We didn't dare leave anything important at home because Mother and Ginny would take it. "

I nodded and said:

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

““There are so many things we would like to make even if they are not essentials! ””

With full of hope, the three brothers walked out of the forest.
