Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

third party perspective

"The escapees are Bellatrix Lestrange, her husband Rodolphus... and Peter Pettigrew."

At the moment Sirius Black said this, Ronaldinho Weasley suddenly showed some strange behavior.

Her breathing became rapid and shallow, her chest rose and fell, her hands tightly grasped the shawl draped over her shoulders, and her whole body huddled up. Looking closely, her clenched hands were trembling slightly, as if she had a slight spasm.

"Ronnie?!"

William Weasley stood up from the heavy sofa with such force that it flipped over backwards, and rushed to his sister and picked her up.

Sirius also quickly rushed to Ronaldinho's side and placed his hands on her forehead and neck to feel her body temperature.

"No fever...hyperventilation?"

Sirius frowned, obviously unable to understand why Peter Pettigrew's escape from prison had such a big impact on her. He gritted his teeth in disgust and called out to Kreacher.

The redness on Ronaldinho's face had long faded, and it became bloodless. Even through the thin foundation, you could see her paleness. She huddled in her brother's arms, breathing rapidly, and this appearance made the people around her feel distressed and gave rise to a strong desire to protect her. Sirius immediately ordered Kreacher to prepare a guest room.

Concerned about her mental state, Sirius suggested that she stay at Black House until the start of the new term. William readily accepted, and later facts proved that this decision was the right one. Over the next month, whenever Ronaldinho heard any news about the escapee, her face would turn pale and she was obviously in fear.

William was initially hesitant about leaving his sister here, but Ronaldinho's persuasion, the fact that the old Black house was much safer than "Lu Ping's cottage", and the fact that Sirius, as the head of the family, would stay at home most of the time, finally convinced him. More importantly, Harry, Draco and Theodore all showed concern for Ronaldinho and gave her great support.

Fortunately for Draco and Theodore, William was not as prejudiced against Slytherin as Arthur Weasley, nor was he hostile to the Malfoys. Although he was somewhat uneasy about the opposite sex approaching his sister as a brother, he prioritized his sister's mental state and did not interfere with their relationship.

Despite this, the situation in the wizarding world is still not optimistic. The Lestranges and Peter Pettigrew are still at large, and the Ministry of Magic has not yet arrested them, and panic is beginning to spread in society.

William was responsible for the new term shopping as a precaution. He not only bought all the supplies for his younger siblings, but also for Harry, Draco and Theodore, which showed how worried he was about the situation and how unstable Ronaldinho was.

However, just as society was in turmoil due to the prison break, news came that might be even more shocking than the prison break.

Summer's Divide: Secrets Uncovered in Forbidden Forest Investigation

As early as before the summer vacation, Sirius Black applied for an investigation into the Forbidden Forest as a Hogwarts director. He believed that the Lestranges and Peter might be hiding there, so in addition to officials from the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures, he also sent a few Aurors to accompany them.

The results of the investigation were shocking - they discovered a huge colony of Akromantula (giant man-eating spiders) in the forbidden forest, the scale and number of which were beyond everyone's imagination.

The shock of the magic world

Hogwarts, a school known for its "absolute safety", was found to be hiding such dangers. Among the more than 200 man-eating spiders found, there were countless young spiders and a giant Acromantula Lord. These spiders are not only deadly, but also carry a strong poison. Even adult wizards may die on the spot when facing them.

Freddy Davis, a rookie from the Department of Control of Magical Creatures who took part in the investigation, later recalled: "Without the Aurors, we would have been wiped out."

Since the investigation team was unable to eliminate the spider's nest on the spot, they had to organize a larger cleanup team to carry out a complete eradication two weeks later.

Public outrage

This discovery led to strong public criticism of Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore. To make matters worse, the appearance of these Akromantula was traced back 50 years, and it was found that their owner was an individual released into the Forbidden Forest by Rubeus Hagrid. Dumbledore had protected Hagrid at the time, allowing him to stay at the school and serve as a gamekeeper. Therefore, the public put all the blame on Dumbledore.

The calls for Dumbledore to resign as headmaster grew louder and louder. However, as the only great wizard that the "Dark Lord" feared, Dumbledore's presence was still seen as the key force in the magic world's fight against jailbreakers. In the end, the Ministry of Magic ruled that Dumbledore could continue to serve as headmaster, but he had to accept a one-year salary reduction as a punishment, and made it clear that if he made another major dereliction of duty, he would be dismissed immediately.

Although a few people were still dissatisfied with the decision, most parents with children attending Hogwarts reluctantly accepted the ruling in the face of the reality that the escapee had not yet been caught.

This incident not only changed the situation at Hogwarts, but also became a watershed in the wizarding world, affecting the fate of many people. As for how these influences unfolded, that is another story.
