Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 209 Harry's story is tragic, but the Weasley brothers' experience is even worse

Draco added.

"Well, very normal. He knew about the wizarding world, but he kept it quiet and didn't try to use the power of magic. And, in order to prevent Harry's magic from being exposed, he didn't even hire a nanny or servant until the Weasleys arranged for a convenient assistant to help. This is the ideal Muggle in the eyes of the wizarding community."

"I occasionally see my aunt and cousins. Although my uncle never comes, he gave me some books on how to raise children, basic social knowledge and etiquette. Although he hates wizards, he has a good impression of Ron."

The wizarding world’s past disrespectful behavior is evident.

"Has Ron met your aunt and uncle?" Theodore asked.

"Well, Ron sometimes goes with me to see my aunt. The first time we met, the Weasleys drove to pick us up. Although I didn't dare to bring the twins, I thought it would be okay to bring Ron. I wanted to introduce him to my aunt. Ron praised my aunt very much, saying that my uncle had a good eye for choosing such a good wife. My uncle was immediately satisfied with him and asked my aunt to treat Ron well. My aunt also likes Ron very much. She is a serious and sensitive person, which may be exactly the type Ron likes."

"Although Ron usually likes beautiful women, I think he may like my aunt more. My aunt felt that Ron was not complimenting her, but really believed it, which made her very happy. Usually, she was always compared with my mother, and she felt a little inferior psychologically, but after talking with Ron, it seemed that this inferiority complex gradually dissipated."

"Dudley has also met Ron, and it was also a successful meeting. Ron asked Dudley to start practicing martial arts to lose weight. Although he was a fat man before, he has become strong now and even apologized to me. Now he has become a good man. Every time we go out for tea, as long as Ron is there, Dudley will follow. And under Dudley's leadership, my uncle has also lost weight and looks more energetic."

"Ron is really good at this, and my parents like him very much. They didn't like the couple who abandoned Ron, but now they hate him even more."

"Until Sirius came to pick me up, a Muggle helper arranged by the Weasleys was helping my aunt and her family improve my eating habits. That person was arranged by Edgar of the Weasleys. Edgar was there when I first met Snape. He later told me that although my clothes were shabby, compared to Arthur's children, my clothes were still decent."

"That's too bad." I couldn't help but sigh, and Theodore nodded.

"Yes, that's what Edgar said. I was wearing my cousins' old clothes, but after all, only one of them had worn them. There were so many Weasley children that the clothes were worn out. They had even repaired them with magic, but it was obvious that they had been repaired by themselves."

"Although 'repair' is very convenient, it requires a lot of magic power. If it is overused, the fabric will not be able to withstand it and will eventually break. The magic resistance of fabric is relatively low."

"Edgar said that the Weasley children may have studied since they were young, where to repair with magic and where to repair by hand, and the result is like this."

He also mentioned that sometimes there was no needles or thread, so the children even used plant fibers as thread and made their own needles. The clothes were patched with a lot of small pieces of cloth, but later there was not enough cloth, so they tore up old cloth, wove it into pieces, and then sewed the clothes. I found it incredible to hear this. Later, I secretly looked at their clothes, which was really shocking. Although I also wore old clothes, my situation was completely different from theirs. "

"It's unbelievable."

"Indeed."

"The boys are in a bad way, but I heard that their sister got everything she wanted. Not even satisfied with that, she took away her brothers' cherished toys and belongings. I heard that they have almost nothing left, just a few clothes that the twins hid in a trunk, and the magic props they made themselves."

"My cousins ​​often snatch my new stuff away from me, but at least they give it back when they get tired of it. And they never touch my most precious books. Ron's sister is really too much by comparison."

"But I heard that she sold those things later. We went to the second-hand bookstore in Diagon Alley with the Weasley brothers, and Ron found that the chess manuals he wrote were made into books for sale. It turned out that Ron's mother took the magazines to sell, but because she was not satisfied with the price, she did not sell her own things, but sold Ron's chess manuals. Ron didn't care at all, and even asked the owner if he could continue to sell new chess manuals."

The reference book Bill made for Percy also appeared in the bookstore, but I couldn't find it. I thought the book was for Ginny and hadn't been sold, but it had been sold. The owner said that the person who bought the book was a child of a regular customer, and if he wanted to buy it back, he could help contact him. But Percy said that Bill had made a new book for him, and the old book didn't have any good memories, so it would be good if someone could use it to study happily. It is said that when a child who had not yet entered Hogwarts saw the book, his eyes lit up, and Percy was very happy to hear that.

Afterwards, the twins went to a second-hand store they didn't usually go to with a serious look on their faces, and found that the magic props they made themselves were being sold at a pretty good price. Their mother often went to this store to sell their old items. Although the clothes she brought didn't sell for a high price, the owner offered a good price for the magic props made by the twins, so she sold them. The twins said that those props were associated with bad memories and they didn't want them anymore, so they didn't plan to buy them back. Besides, the homemade items they really valued had already been hidden, and Ginny only took away the props they used to play with, and they didn't think it was a big deal to let others have fun with them.

Hearing this, I felt very complicated. The so-called 'good price' offered by the shop owner was actually about the same as the total value of the other items they brought. It was hard to understand why she sold the remaining things of her sons without hesitation, while keeping a lot of her own things. It was no wonder that the children chose to leave home. Everyone would hope that such a mother would not be at home. I can understand the twins' feelings. Although they said that their father was not a bad person, he obviously did not stop her from selling his sons' things, which also shows that the father did not fulfill his responsibility to protect his children. "

While Harry's story was tragic, the experiences of the Weasley twins were even more tragic.
