Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 229 Using the Son’s Name to Extract Money

Uncle and grandfather came to the Blake family's office in a hurry and told me that they wanted to ask me a favor.

I'm working for Sirius now, and I was originally planning to work at Gringotts, but Sirius begged me with tears, and I couldn't refuse.

If one wants to become an expert at removing curses, the dangerous Black home is undoubtedly an ideal place to work.

Moreover, Sirius was troubled by the cursed objects his brothers dug out of the house.

So I started to frequently visit the homes of those pure-blood nobles with my brothers, gradually gained their trust, and discovered through private investigations that the curse really existed.

As for the research funding, I heard that the pure-blood nobles, led by the Black family, would provide financial support, so I decided to join.

Moreover, the Black family's funds are used widely, and many projects will be beneficial to the future of the wizarding world, so there are many jobs in different fields. At the same time, it also leaves me with time to focus on my own research. Therefore, I live a very fulfilling life and I really like my work here.

When my uncle and grandpa walked in and I saw their faces, I immediately knew something bad had happened.

Barty Jr., who I worked with, seemed to notice it and told me not to mind what he was doing, and I moved to a separate office.

"What's wrong?"

I sat on the sofa, and my grandfather looked tired and looked at my uncle.

"About your mother. We need a Black law firm that is familiar with divorce issues. Also, we need to sign a strong magical contract. Bill will also be involved. In addition, I want you to handle how to explain this to my brothers."

"Are you going to get a divorce...?"

I thought they had a good marriage. Just as I was thinking this, my uncle began to explain what had happened.

"........."

This is what it feels like to be speechless...

“On the surface, I thought Arthur was doing well within his means and living frugally, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

I heard that Molly had lost weight and became beautiful, but I didn't expect the nobles on the other side to be so cautious. They always chose to meet in Muggle places and let her live a luxurious life. Ginny was also with them. Regarding Ginny, I received some news from Harry that made me worried, so I felt a little strange. This is the only thing that made me feel wrong.

However, I have never heard of any strange rumors about Molly. Perhaps if she had some strange negative comments, her reputation as an heir would decline before she was born, so they are very careful in this regard.

So there is no negative comment here, right? If there were such rumors about our family, someone would definitely notice it, but in fact no one noticed it, so the nobles on the other side did a good job. They planned to approach so carefully from the beginning. Even the people of our family who work in various places in the magic world did not notice it.

I briefly checked Harry's letter, but there was nothing I could find, so the other party had obviously made a careful plan and taken cautious actions.

They spent so much time, energy and money on this, and it seems that they just want to get a quick divorce and send the person away.”

Shipping... Shipping?... Uncle really has a smile on his face but his words are full of venom. It seems that he really hates mother... But I can understand this feeling.

My heart was filled with only disgust towards my mother.

“Summer vacation is coming soon. For the time being, I hope to facilitate Arthur and Molly’s divorce before then, confirm Ginny’s wishes, and then have a conversation with the nobles over there.

Our consultant lawyers only handle domestic affairs, not international affairs, so please introduce the consultant lawyers of the Black family. The people over there must be looking forward to our contact, so please recommend some excellent lawyers who can handle it.

I also want to talk to the nobles over there. Well, I guess they can control the situation better than Arthur. Arthur can't even handle his son, wife and daughter.

I had hoped that they could live happily in that little box garden... Ron had said before that the couple's relationship seemed to be deeply in love with each other, but in fact it was a one-sided spectacular love. I hope they can live peacefully in unconscious dislocation.

It seems that it has come true..."

Ron had said it so well... it was exactly that. They were just getting married for love.

“Was the aid a mistake…”

Grandpa, who had recovered a little, whispered.

"I think so too. Maybe it's a mistake to help out of sympathy? Or should we ask for repayment even for the penalty for breaking the engagement? But, he may not pay it back even if we ask him to, right? Didn't he say that the engagement was arranged by his parents and he didn't choose it...?

But if no aid was given, wouldn't things be worse? Wouldn't they sell their sons without a second thought?

Maybe we should think more about the way the aid is given. Start with the use of money, teach step by step, and check the expenditures one by one.”

"But after all, we have severed our relationship, so it would be difficult to do that, right?"

“There is no option to sever ties.

Both of them were drawn into this by Dumbledore, and I didn't want to keep them in the Weasley family, after all, the security measures I had worked so hard to establish might be leaked. In this way, Dumbledore might eliminate our family one by one, leaving Arthur as the head of the family. "

Indeed, when I heard about the Weasleys as an adult, I found that they had taken multiple security measures to prevent attacks from dark wizards and established a complete education system for Squibb (an incompetent wizard). Earlier, Ron mentioned that the Weasleys' Muggle study books were quite excellent, just like cultivating elites. Therefore, when I heard this again when I grew up, I was really amazed and realized that it was quite remarkable that my uncle was able to set up such a system in a short period of time. So, in the end, the Weasleys did not send their children to the new school established by the Ministry of Magic because they provided an education at home that was far above that level.

I understand why they don't want my father to know all this. If he knew, he would definitely spread it everywhere without thinking. In this way, many people in the family might be implicated. Despite this, he would still say that he was right and that he was exactly the same as his predecessor.

"But, it's useless to say anything now... This is a mistake made by my husband and I in raising children... Our sons were also led by Dumbledore, and so was our daughter. I'm really sorry..."

He looked exhausted. I could understand how he felt. They had failed miserably in raising their three children.

In my opinion, the old people in Prewett are too tolerant... Of course, as the last children in the family, they may be too spoiled. They are always eager to buy things for us. Even though they are not well-off, they always give too much.

My brothers know this, so they refuse. If they really want to buy something, they choose the cheapest one possible. My family always likes to help us, so sometimes they ask us to prepare fabric for them to make something. At first, they bought the fabric for us, but now that my brothers have more money, we just prepare the materials and give them to them, and then let them design it themselves, and we will make various modifications. It takes a lot of time just to decide on the design. What's more, they deliberately make the process long and tedious. This way, they will focus on the creation and won't think about buying other things. Because they have to prepare for all the brothers, they will be quiet for a while, and the sense of accomplishment from completing the work seems to suppress their desire to buy things. If there is a piece of clothing you want to wear, you ask them to help make it. They never ask for payment, so Ron will make some snacks and visit them in between work, which makes them very satisfied.

They are very kind people, with a strong desire to help others, and my mother grew up in this environment. Even though she was spoiled and married to my father, she still had a hard time, and even the children could see it. Although my father had experienced a lot, he grew up in a more privileged environment than us, although he seemed to be unaware of it.

Therefore, both families expressed strong opposition to this marriage.

She was used to getting what she wanted, and she didn't change after getting married. Maybe she should have put her child first at this time, but she couldn't do it. Instead, she used her son's name to extract money, and all the money was used for herself. In the end, she still couldn't change herself. She failed to truly become a parent.

If she had married someone who could give her a luxurious life, she might not have had these problems. In this way, she could have been a good mother? But she married someone like her father who had no money, and all her shortcomings were exposed. If her father had been stronger, he might have made some corrections at the beginning, but he didn't do that either.

"No matter what, we have to make sure that both families will not be implicated in the future. We really don't want anything to happen again.

Please, Bill."

"Okay. I will discuss the divorce and contact the nobles over there to discuss future response plans. Before Ginny returns home in the summer, I will deal with her parents' affairs and be prepared for any decision she can make.

What about where my father will live next? If we don’t handle it properly, it will be troublesome if there is trouble again.”

"I'll prepare this, don't worry."

Having said this, he quickly left because he still had a lot of things to do.
