Chapter 268 "You Deserve It"
Then, after the house was built, my brother and I joined my uncle's curse-breaking team.
I'm completely self-taught so I still have a lot to learn, but every day is fun and Mr. Bill is teaching me a lot.
My younger brother joined Fred and George's company and was very happy working there.
Auntie continues to go to the learning facility to teach languages. She not only attends night classes, but also goes during the day. Before, due to the uncertain future, she wanted to have some income when necessary, but now it seems that she doesn't have to worry about these anymore, so she is not receiving a salary now and is completely a volunteer. She said that although she is a volunteer, she feels very happy to use the restaurant coupons she received as a volunteer to eat everywhere.
The sister also showed a relaxed look on her face. During her stay at Ron's house, she seemed to cook with Ron. The new home was designed with reference to the kitchen of Ron's country home, so she cooked for her family here and planted vegetables in the yard with her aunt, and had a good time.
Ron works at Hogwarts on weekends, so although we live together, he is not there when we are on vacation. This kind of life makes me feel that they keep a proper distance between them, which is good. However, when Ron is at home, there will be delicious meals waiting for me when I return home, which is also something I look forward to. During the week when Ron is not away, when I go home early, sometimes I go to their house for dinner. Occasionally, Ron will come to the workplace and take me to lunch.
However... the lawyer said before that Ron was not interested in money, but he really didn't need money... Because Ron was deeply involved in the establishment of the restaurant I took me to, it seemed that he was instructed not to charge money no matter what. No matter how long he lived, I never saw him pay. This was also the case in the shops in Diagon Alley and Night Lane. Although he often went in and out, no one ever charged him.
However, there is a decisive difference between him and my mother. If my mother did that, she would definitely spend lavishly, but Ron would only take what he needed at the time. There is no greed at all. Therefore, although for those who have built huge wealth on him, the amount Ron treats is insignificant. People in the store sometimes take the initiative to treat, and there are also payment lists for pure-blood nobles, and they will pay later, so there is no problem even if there is no money. Therefore, in the consulting room that day, Ron was able to survive with only a meager business income in his wallet. To be honest, he almost has no pocket money for the children. As the lawyer said before, this is a free-spirited life. It is understandable that people around him are worried about him...
As far as I know, the consultation room is very popular and there are many people who want to see it, but he only charges a fee like a child's pocket money. When I asked him if this was okay, he said that people around him always think I speak well, but I just deal with it casually, so if I charge too much, I will feel heartbroken, and he said that this is the amount I can accept. Well, maybe because many people are grateful to him, they pay for him.
The Weasleys were completely different from my mother. I reaffirmed this at the Weasleys. I knew it all along, but my mother was really special. The Weasleys devoted themselves to the things they were interested in, but their focus on money seemed to be limited to just enough to get by.
But they are very family-oriented. I feel very comfortable with that.
The eldest son, Bill, has Weasley hair, but looks like the Blacks, the royal family of the British wizarding world. The Blacks are emotional and have hot tempers. Bill, who seems gentle, is actually close to the Blacks in nature. In fact, the former head of the family, Sirius, had not married for a long time, and people thought that if he had not married, Bill would have inherited the family.
Bill's wife is as my aunt said, a stunning beauty. Although she is old, she is more beautiful than my mother. It made me realize that appearance alone is not enough. The two of them standing side by side are really a beautiful couple. Compared with his Vera-blooded wife, Bill's beauty is even more eye-catching. The Blacks are also beautiful. I think Bill is very close to the Blacks in other aspects except for his red hair.
Bill intended to never forgive his mother and sister, nor would he forgive the families who married them and successfully delayed the curse. I realized this when Bill announced his retirement. Although he was still energetic, he wanted to hand over the team to younger people during his lifetime, so he announced his retirement. He would continue to conduct personal research, but would leave the team. Although he would still serve as a consultant after retirement, if he was in a helpless situation, there was no way out. He encouraged us to try to solve the problem ourselves.
At the same time, he gave the position of lifetime special consultant of the curse-breaking team to Ron, the non-professional "expert".
This means that even if Bill retires or even dies, as long as Ron, who is likely to live longer, is around, we, the large number of half-brothers, will not be able to turn to the Curse Breaking Team for help. Maybe the people there are waiting for Bill to die. But they died before Ron.
We should have tried harder, as we did. We should have had plenty of time to do this. Bill was no longer involved, but he was still investigating how the family lived there. So, they shouldn't have been after us, or targeting the Weasley children and young people. Obviously, they got on Bill's bad side.
Ha! You deserve it!
I was a little depressed thinking about these malicious things, when Ron, who came to invite me to lunch, greeted me. He now looked more mature than me. By the way, I seemed to have no interest in getting married and still lived with Ron. My younger brother was not married yet, so he also lived with Ron. My older brother had three more children since then and was now the father of six children. There was another girl, and the Weasley family was very surprised. According to the records, there was no precedent for the family having more than two daughters.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"...No, I'm just surprised at how narrow-minded and unexpectedly stubborn I am."
I told him what I thought was the “deserve he deserved” thing.
