Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Summer ended without his son, and autumn came. As time passed, the wizarding world continued to change.

During this time, it was discovered that Sirius Black had been wrongly accused and he was released.

Not only that, some pure-blood nobles also formed a third force that did not belong to that person or Dumbledore. Obviously, the Weasleys and the Malfoys joined forces. Maybe my brother pulled Lucius into it, and after careful preparation, he rescued Sirius...

Even though it was my home, it felt like a distant, isolated world to me.

Then, more and more doubts began to arise around Dumbledore. As the seasons progressed, the doubts piled up like a mountain. The wizarding world was changing, the Ministry was changing, but our family remained the same. I could not change either my wife or my daughter.

The loss of our sons should have been a huge blow, but we continued to live in this world as if everything was normal.

When the trial began, Molly was asked to take the witness stand regarding the Pruvit incident. This was because she had received the key to the Pruvit vault from Dumbledore, which she was not entitled to inherit. When she signed the documents regarding our son, she also signed a document stating that she was willing to testify in court without asking for the return of the funds... At that time, they had already begun to prepare to expose Dumbledore, just waiting for the right time.

There is nothing wrong with Molly testifying in court, but she showed off everywhere and repeatedly expressed her views proudly to the reporters who came to interview her. I think the reporters must have felt helpless in their hearts.

I feel extremely ashamed.

"Molly, we used funds that Dumbledore had no right to use, and this should not be publicized. It's not appropriate to admit everywhere that we used Pruvit's money without authorization."

"Oh, it was Dumbledore who forced us to participate in the crime! I am telling the truth, what's wrong with that? Besides, the money doesn't need to be returned, it belongs to us, right?"

“Yes, but outsiders will think that we are taking money that is not ours and doing nothing about it. It also raises eyebrows in the workplace. I hope you can stop. Please.”

There was a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"...Okay, since you said that, I won't mention it anymore."

I breathed a sigh of relief when she said that. Then I asked a question that had been on my mind for a long time.

"By the way, how much money do you brothers have left? We have to save it for Ginny. If she goes to Hogwarts, she will need a lot of things. If she is good at Quidditch, we have to buy her a good broom. When she gets older, she may need a beautiful dress. Ginny will definitely be very beautiful when she grows up, and she may be invited to participate in some activities. By then, I want to prepare a beautiful dress for her."

"Oh, my brothers' money is almost all gone. I've already used it."

what?

"You've used it up? The Prewitts also funded you, right? What about that money? You've spent all the money my brother funded you, right? So you should still have the Prewitt part?"

"Oh, it's all gone. I was thinking of accepting financial aid in the future. Oh, now those children are gone, it's really troublesome to encounter such a situation."

"Aren't you in charge of the management? There's almost no money left in our own coffers. What about your own coffers? With the help from the Pruvit family and the money left by your brother, there should be some left, right?"

"Oh, dear! What shall I do? But you have spent your money on that junk yourself."

Yes, I did spend some money, but they were all things I picked up from Muggle waste, so it shouldn't have been that much...

I just thought it didn't cost much. When I think about it, the money should have been used for the children, not for my own interests. I just found an excuse for myself by saying that the twins liked it...

Once again, I felt helpless as a father.

However, my brother's contribution was only enough to supplement living expenses. Our coffers were originally needed to pay for living expenses, as well as Bill and Charlie's tuition. It was natural that they would be empty. But where did Molly's money go? The total amount of that money should be more than mine. I remember that when I signed the document from Pruvit, the amount required to be returned far exceeded the amount of my brother's contribution.

Could it be that...she spent all the money?

Suddenly, I was stunned. Since we got married, we have not even managed the household accounts properly. Although we have been cut off from the family, we have been relying on my parents' family for living. Ah, no wonder my brother cut off ties with us. The Weasley family is already in a difficult situation, and my brother has been worried about raising funds, and we have asked him for help again and again.

How stupid I am.

Our family is large and life is much harder. My brother is in a worse situation than us, but he still helps us time and time again. Now I just feel ashamed. He must have always thought I was a stupid brother.

Why didn't I realize this until now?

"...You didn't keep any accounts?"

"I only recorded your salary income, nothing else."

"Then we have to save money in the future. You and I don't have much money anymore. For Ginny, we must manage well from now on. We can no longer rely on our parents' families, and we should live independently.

Start by keeping track of all your expenses.

In fact, it is abnormal to accept financial support after being cut off. We should have lived on our own income from the beginning. Let's go back to the beginning, right? Didn't we decide that we would live happily even if we were poor? "

Yes, this is an opportunity for change.

"...That's right. I don't want Ginny to have a miserable time at Hogwarts, so this is the only way."

"To be honest, we have been living as we please, and it is difficult for one person to control himself. So why don't we agree that we only spend money when each other is present, and check each other for unnecessary expenses. Unless both parties agree, we won't spend money. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control. The same goes for Ginny's things. She will grow up eventually, and it is better to buy her clothes when she goes to Hogwarts than to buy her too nice clothes now.

Molly, this is for Ginny's future!"

When she heard that it was for Ginny's future, Molly's face suddenly lit up!

"Yes, you are absolutely right!"

Molly agreed.

Great.

We can still change.

If we can change, Ginny will definitely change too.
