Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 142: Our parents are a pure-blood family, but they gave birth to a lot of children
Sometimes, Harry was invited to the Weasley family to learn various knowledge such as etiquette, family genealogy in the wizarding world, power relations, etc. The Weasley aunts and uncles would teach him.
The elders of the Prewett family who came to visit would also teach him general knowledge of the magical world.
The old lady of the Prewett family even prepared the same clothes for Harry as everyone else, and Harry even wore it out.
They camped out in the courtyard, practiced wandless magic, and began looking up herbs in the illustrated guide, gathering herbs, and making simple potions together.
In less than a month, Harry has completely become like a little brother in our family.
So we realized that Harry was a pretty smart kid.
At Mr. Prince's place, he seemed to be reading the magic book recommended by Mr. Prince carefully, and the two chatted very happily. He also made potions with Fred and George, and they seemed to get along very well. Mr. Prince made a mysterious drug for the busy Ministry of Magic employees that could make people work continuously for a week without sleep, and Harry also helped make it.
"What is that...? Is this medicine really okay?"
I couldn't help but blurt out, and Harry smiled and said, "Sever said that the more you drink this medicine, the healthier you will be." When the twins curiously asked about the raw materials, Harry took out the herbal dictionary and explained that there were indeed no addictive ingredients, all of which were good for the body, and these materials were easy to obtain and very cost-effective. The twins excitedly kept exclaiming "It's amazing".
However, the preparation of this medicine is extremely complicated and difficult, and even the elites of the Ministry of Magic who graduated from Hogwarts cannot make it themselves. Therefore, Harry often helps to make this medicine during the summer vacation so that the overly busy Ministry of Magic staff can work like a workhorse.
I made a firm vow in my heart: "I will never work for the Ministry of Magic."
The wizarding world has more strange potions than the Muggle world, and the workload must be ridiculously heavy... But I want to pursue a leisurely life and live a relaxed and comfortable life.
At the end of the year, I asked Harry what his plans were. He told me that the Black family would hold a grand party to celebrate Sirius's reinstatement. As for whether Harry should attend, the adults in the family were discussing it.
"Ah... the party at the Black family's house, it's so troublesome just thinking about it."
"So, although it's earlier than usual to formally introduce me due to my age, Lady Lucrezia said it would be best to officially announce that I'm under Black's wing as soon as possible. However, she also feels that I haven't fully assimilated into the wizarding world yet, so she's still considering what to do."
"Well...I think Harry should go."
“We feel the same way.”
"Me too."
We brothers are of the same opinion.
"Harry, you understand your situation, don't you?"
"Well, Sif has explained it to me very clearly. He repeatedly warned me that I must not make friends with strangers because I am considered to be of great use... Every time I take a slightly risky action, Sif will cry and stop me... He is obviously an adult. However, I know that he is not calculating against me, but is really worried about me. Therefore, I will also think twice before taking action."
"Yes, that's right!"
"Harry was treated as a hero because of Dumbledore's plan."
"And the Potter fortune."
"Therefore, there are countless people who want to win over Harry."
"After we were kicked out of our home and then adopted by our family, we could clearly feel that the way other people looked at us had changed."
"Ever since we sold our inventions to the Ministry of Magic, the rights to sell magical devices, those people's eyes have become even more naked."
It was exactly as Fred and George said.
"You understand our situation, don't you?"
Harry nodded.
"Before, when we lived in Hogsmeade with our parents who were recognized by the whole wizarding world as having problems, we existed like air. No one paid attention to us, and we were not even treated as good as ordinary customers. Because we had no money, we were always reading books in the bookstore, but were stared at with disgust. Of course, it was good that the clerks did not chase us away. They probably thought that if we were kicked out, we might be involved in some crime, so they were unwilling to do so. Occasionally, some clerks would secretly give us candy or give us some unsold things.
Although the Weasley family was ostracized by pure-blood families because of past events, they are still pure-blood aristocrats after all.
The Prewetts were an old family, though considered in decline.
So, when these two families became our backers, people immediately looked at us differently, even though we didn't become rich.
Especially in the wizarding world, many people value bloodline, and the mere fact of being a pure-blooded noble is of great value.
However, because our parents have always been viewed strangely by everyone, we have also been looked down upon, but since we left our parents, the situation has been completely different.
We used to be frowned upon when we went into high-end stores, but now it’s not frowned upon anymore, so it’s not entirely a bad thing.”
"I understand," Harry said softly.
"When I was at my aunt's house, I was always treated like air. Although no one helped me, they always looked at me with pity. To be honest, I felt a lot more relaxed just by the disappearance of such looks. But now, they treat me as a hero, and that scares me. Well, Sif said that the reports in the newspapers have alleviated the situation. In fact, many people now praise me for being adopted when they meet me.
I remember seeing green light that night, but I don't remember what I did. So, I didn't do it. But it's in the book. Some of it is true, some of it is false. So, it scares me."
"Dumbledore is really cunning. It's even harder to tell because it's not a complete lie. But maybe he also wants to protect you by making you a hero."
"I think he wanted me to be the standard bearer against that guy. Of course, it was also to protect me in some way.
But there was no doubt he was trying to make a hero of me.”
"I think so too. When people know I'm Harry Potter, they feel excited or grateful. At first I felt happy, but gradually, I began to feel scared. Because I'm just an ordinary child and can't do anything.
However, Sirius and Sev always blocked those people in front of me. They treated me as a normal kid, not a hero.
They're my shield, right?"
Well, luckily you are not that self-righteous idiot.
"But sometimes I feel confused. Isn't the Potter family also ancient and prestigious? A family like this always comes with responsibilities. Where I used to live, the richer people are, the more likely they are to participate in community activities, church work, or do a lot of volunteer work. If I were in such a position, I would be a little worried about whether I would be able to do it. Sirius is also working hard to set up various foundations for the wizarding world."
really……
All the brothers showed an "ah" expression.
"Yeah, you could say that."
"I used to think it was okay to marry anyone, but that may not be the case anymore, right?"
"Indeed, there is no problem with the Weasley family having an heir, but the problem with the Prewett family still exists."
George, Fred and Percy said.
"Ah, there is no heir to the Prewett family, right?"
"Yes.
Besides, I heard from Bill that the Prewetts had helped our mother and hoped that one of our brothers would be adopted by them."
Oh, that’s something I didn’t know.
"The Weasleys have also received assistance."
"No, it's not the Weasleys, it's my uncle's personal assistance."
It's really surprising.
"There is so much aid, but the result is still the same? Didn't they use the money for our education, but for their own entertainment..."
“Maybe.
The Prewetts were not having an easy life themselves, but they helped us because they thought there might be an heir. I think the money was for us.
So they were very angry with their mother.”
"The uncles want Bill to stay with the Weasleys, so he's out of the question."
“Then it looks like a few of us will have to go to the Prewetts’.
There are no heirs there, and it would be too difficult for one person to do it. Even if we all go there, no one will have any objection. The Weasley family has always had many descendants. "
"However, they may also want Fred and George to stay, seemingly wanting to shake off the title of 'Poor Weasley'."
Percy joked.
"Practically speaking, it would probably be better for Charlie, Ron and I to move over there. It's just three against three.
It's too difficult to go alone. If there are three of us, maybe someone can marry into a pure-blood family, which will reduce the pressure."
"I see. If you want to inherit a family, you can't just marry anyone you want..."
Harry exclaimed, and Fred and George answered him.
"Neither the Potters nor the Weasleys are that strict."
"Marriage with a Muggle will not be allowed, but if the person is a Muggle-born wizard, it should be fine. Isn't your mother a Muggle-born, Harry?"
"Ah, yes."
“As for the definition of pureblood, even among pureblood nobles there are slight differences.
Those prestigious families might only recognize pure-blooded families from generation to generation, but the Potters should be fine, and the Weasleys aren't that strict either, unless it comes to the position of head of the family.
However, Harry, although your mother is a Muggle, her strength is no less than any pure-blood aristocrat. Excellent wizards usually have excellent offspring, so it depends on the situation. The same is true of the Weasley family's research results.
However, if you want to inherit the Prewett family, it is best to find a partner within the pure-blood nobles to avoid being looked down upon. After all, the network is also very important.
Although the enchantment incident at the Ministry of Magic has made everyone realize that Muggle-borns are also different, it is still hard to say what the future holds. The more you know about etiquette and social skills, the better, otherwise it will be very difficult in the future. Even if you are a Muggle-born, you must have a good family background, otherwise life will be difficult. "
"It's just that magical ability isn't 100% inherited, so this makes it complicated."
“We also checked a lot and found that the situations were different.
Some pure-blood families have difficulty reproducing because their bloodline is too pure. Harry, your grandparents are from a pure-blood family, but they gave birth to your father very late. "
"My parents are a pure-blood family, but they gave birth to a lot of children. The Weasley family is an exception among pure-blood families, they have a lot of children.
In fact, families that insist on pure blood do not have many children. "
"However, marrying a Muggle does not result in a lack of wizarding offspring.
Voldemort is the child of a pure-blood wizard and a Muggle, but he is still a powerful wizard, and so is Professor Snape, whom you know, Harry. "
"But what these two people have in common is that their family may be too pure in blood, and in the end they are the only ones left."
"There are many differences in the wizarding world as well."
"Yeah. I'll tell Sirius I'll be at the party anyway.
I plan to continue my life in the wizarding world, and in the future I will inevitably enter the social circle.
So there is no point in delaying. I will write to him today."
