Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 272 Nobody

My daughter is getting married...

I thought the man my daughter had chosen must be fine. When I heard my wife and daughter talk about their relationship, my wife also said that the boy was a very good young man, so I let my guard down.

I didn't expect that he was actually a boy from the Saint 28 family...

I thought to myself that I really hoped they would break up quickly, but the marriage was decided smoothly.

When I first met him and heard his last name when he introduced himself, I almost couldn't help but stare at him, but I managed to hold it in. Although I was about to collapse, I managed to hold on.

Why? Why keep such an important thing secret? I know his first name, but I don't know his last name... That is to say, his wife and daughter would never mention these things in front of me, so I thought he was a child from an ordinary family!

Why didn't I ask clearly at the beginning? How stupid of me!

Looking at my daughter's happy face, I couldn't say a word. He really looked like a nice young man, with nothing to complain about.

But, he is the boy from the Saint 28 family!!

"Why would you hide something so important?"

"Because if you knew, you would definitely object, right?"

That night, I learned for the first time the identity of my daughter's dating partner, and I questioned my wife.

"They won't really get to the point of getting married, will they? Even though it's not good for the child, I hope they can break up before graduation..."

Unfortunately, my expectations were dashed, as they decided to get married when they graduated.

At the wedding, my daughter was so beautiful. He looked at her with deep love in his eyes, so I believe he will make her happy.

The wedding was grand and filled with pure-blood nobles.

However, as the second son of a branch family... well, it's barely acceptable.

"Over there, there is no one to inherit the family headship, and someone from the branch family may inherit the main family. Does he know this? Everyone thinks he is the best among the branch family, right? He also has a good personality. Let's look at the child he gave birth to and then make a judgment. If the child is excellent, then he must be the heir, right? Doesn't he realize that his grandson may become the head of the Saint 28 family?"

"No, he didn't seem to realize it."

"That guy is really slow on these things."

"Does my daughter know that the pure-blood noble boys are eyeing her?"

"I don't think so."

"The wife over there is a little interesting too. Even though I know, I won't tell her."

"However, my daughter does have good taste. That boy is very good and honest, and I think she is worthy of him."

"The daughter looks as beautiful as her mother, but in her heart she has the dullness and loveliness of that man. I heard that she had contact with him before the previous commotion."

"Although that person has high qualifications, he always says that he is an ordinary person."

"He calls himself an ordinary person. But now he is the leader of the most powerful ordinary faction in the Ministry of Magic."

"However, although they are factions, they are actually just everyone working together. Think about the past when there were so few normal people. Now it is expanding rapidly."

"As far as he's concerned, the object of comparison itself is wrong, right? He himself doesn't realize it."

"I understand! His comparison criteria are wrong. Comparisons like Bones, Scrimjoll, Shacklebolt, Black, Weasley, and Malfoy are all monster-level comparisons.

Compared with them, he feels like an ordinary person.”

"Those monsters and ordinary wizards would never think of comparing themselves to each other. The fact that they can make such a comparison proves his strength, but he is completely unaware of this."

"But even though you said your wife was a playful person, we are actually accomplices."

"We work hard every day to make him feel like a normal person."

“That’s the secret to getting him to work happily.”

"But the past few days were really dangerous..."

"What happened?"

"Nothing. That fool from the old Dumbledore faction actually mentioned to him that there is a hidden powerful person in the Ministry of Magic. Probably trying to get him to join their faction."

"Yeah, so I quickly pulled that idiot away and dumped one-tenth of the workload he was responsible for on that idiot and his department."

"As a result, he was already so busy handling that little bit of work, but that person often had to handle more than ten times the workload. If he knew that he was called a powerful person in the dark, he would definitely resign immediately, so I warned him not to say it!"

"The people in that idiot's department were furious. After that, in order to complete the work before the deadline, the entire department gave up their rest and worked overtime day and night."

“Colleagues in the same department must have put pressure on him.”

“People from other departments who knew about it were also terrified.”

"Ah, no wonder he said that."

"What did he say?"

"You know what? There's a hidden powerful person in the Ministry of Magic! If there really is such a person, I would like his help in my work. I was thinking of you, but I still pretended to be 'Oh, really? Who is that person?' I almost laughed, but I held it back."

"Your wife knew and didn't tell. So did your wife's sister."

"My daughter is getting married..."

I thought the boy my daughter had chosen must be fine. When I heard my wife and daughter talking about the relationship, my wife also said that the young man was very good, so I relaxed my guard a little.

It turns out that he is a boy from the Saint 28 family...

Deep down I was thinking that I really hoped they would break up quickly, but I didn't expect the marriage to be finalized so quickly.

When I first met him and he introduced himself, I was almost shocked when I heard his last name, but I managed to hold it in. Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I still endured it.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?" I knew his first name a long time ago, but I had never heard his last name... In fact, my wife and daughter never mentioned this to me. So I thought he was a child from an ordinary family!

"Why didn't I ask clearly?"

Seeing my daughter's happy face, I had nothing to say. He was indeed a good young man, just as I had heard, and there was nothing wrong with him.

But he is actually from the Saint 28 family!

"Why didn't you tell me something as important as this?"

"Because you would object if you knew, right?"

The night I first learned the identity of my daughter’s date, I confronted my wife.

"Will they really get to the point of getting married? Although it's a bit unfair to the child, I hope they can break up before graduation..."

But this expectation was of no avail, as they decided to get married when they graduated.

At the wedding, his daughter was so beautiful and charming. It was obvious how much he gazed at her, and he must have made her happy.

The wedding was very grand, with pure-blooded nobles everywhere.

However, as the second son of a branch family, well... I can accept it.

"He knows that there is no heir in the main family, so does one of the children of the branch family have the possibility of inheriting the family business? Everyone can see that he is the most outstanding one in the branch family and has the most hope, right? And he has a good character. If we look at the child born and make a judgment, if the child is also outstanding, then there will be no doubt, right? So does he realize that his grandson may become the head of the Saint 28 family?"

"It doesn't look like he realizes."

"He's really slow at this."

"Does your daughter know how much the men of the pureblood nobility desire her?"

“I don’t think she knows.”

"That old woman over there really seems like a bit of a prankster. Even if she knew, she wouldn't tell her daughter."

"But your daughter has really good taste. He is really capable and honest. He is such a good man."

"Your daughter looks as beautiful as her wife, but she's a little slow inside like him. She's really cute. So she had already made an attack on him before the commotion happened."

"Although he has high standards, he always calls himself a 'nobody'."

"He calls himself a nobody. But now he's the leader of the largest group of nobodys in the Ministry."

"Although it's called a faction, it's actually just an ordinary working group. Thinking back to the time when there were very few normal people, it really expanded rapidly."

"But in his case, the comparison was wrong. He didn't even realize it."

"I know! His comparison standards are really weird. He only compares himself to monsters like Bowen, Scrimmjow, Shacklebolt, Black, Wesley and Malfoy."

"Compared to them, he felt like a nobody."

"Those monsters and ordinary magicians would never compare themselves to him. The fact that he could do this itself is proof of his high standard, but he didn't realize it at all."

"But although the old woman you mentioned was just a prank, we are actually accomplices."

“We work hard every day to make him feel like a nobody.”

“That’s the little secret that makes him happy at work.”

"But the past few days were really dangerous..."

"What happened?"

"Nothing. That fool from the old Dumbledore faction actually told him that there's a hidden powerful person in the Ministry who wants to get close to him. I think he wants him to join their faction."

"Yeah, so I immediately separated that idiot from him and gave one-tenth of the workload he was responsible for to that guy and his department."

"As a result, he was overwhelmed with that little workload, while he usually carries more than ten times the workload. If he knew that he was called a person of hidden strength, he would definitely resign from the Ministry of Magic immediately, so I warned him to keep silent!"

"Everyone in that idiot's department is pissed off. In order to meet the deadline, the entire department is working overtime and without sleep."

"Well, colleagues in the same department will definitely keep a close eye on him."

“Other departments were also horrified when they found out.”

"Oh, so that's why he said those words."

"What did he say?"

"You know what? There's someone in the Ministry of Magic who's called a hidden power! If there really is such a person, I hope he can help me with some work. I thought to myself that person was you, but I still pretended to be surprised and said, 'Wow, really? Who is that person?' I really tried to hold back my laughter."

"Your wife knows it but she doesn't tell you. So does your wife's sister."

"After all, everyone in the Ministry knows about it, but they pretend not to know."

"Basically, your wife's sister, although not from the Saint 28 family, married into a fairly decent pure-blood family, and she had no idea that her daughter should be at the top of the list of pure-blood nobles."

"After the commotion, everyone knew that anyone who had the chance to marry a pure-blood noble would take the opportunity to make a list, and he was the first to point that out. But he didn't realize that he was already on the list, and his ranking was higher than that of other noble families."

"He thought he was married and an unknown person, so he thought that an unknown person would not be included in the list. In fact, he was on the list, and he was married with a daughter. And if you investigate, you will immediately know that his daughter's grades are very good."

"He had no idea that just not going to St. Mungo's was a big deal. Because his Hogwarts grades were so mediocre, he always thought he wasn't on the list."

"In fact, only pure-blood celebrities and true elites can avoid going to St. Mango's Hospital. As an ordinary clerk, not going there is something that only very few people can do."

"Your wife's sister was dating a child of a famous pure-blood family before the commotion, but she never got permission to marry."

"But after the riot, she hid in the Ministry of Transport several times and managed to stay calm during the extraordinary situation at the Ministry of Magic, so she was quickly granted permission to get married. She was recognized as a witch with excellent magical power and quality."

"And soon she gave birth to many children, and each of them seemed to have powerful magical powers. So the children your wife and he had must be at the top of the list, right?"

"Well, her self-awareness is really interesting to watch."

"Wow, it seems like you think the Quidditch players who have switched careers think the same way?"

"Because he called himself a nobody, but at that time Hogwarts was completely controlled by him, right? How could he say he was a nobody? I think it's really interesting to observe him. If you can work with such a person, it will definitely not be boring."

"Yes, he calls himself a nobody, but he actually deals with pure-blood nobles. The nobles also rely on him, and even the teachers trust him. He has complete control over the expert meeting."

"The snake messenger from Japan also had to consult him every time, right? I heard he was a remarkable man. But he always consulted him first. The Department for the Regulation of Magical Creatures was not represented at that meeting, but he was in complete control of the situation."

"Besides, the house elves petitioned him to change their tools. Even the magical creatures think he is a representative. I really don't understand why he calls himself a nobody."

“But it’s this kind of place that’s really appealing.”

"He's not particularly power-seeking. Especially after the awakened pure-bloods and the more awakened pure-bloods, especially those Dumbledore supporters who troubled him."

"I think the Ministry of Magic in the future should be run by people like this."

"The people above think so, so they are willing to participate in the plan to make him look like a nobody, right?"

"Yes. Although it's not a big position, the salary is commensurate with the position."
