Chapter 264 We have money
From the next day, my brother stayed in the hotel to take care of my nephews, sister and aunt, while I went to town with my brother.
We split up and walked around.
We also went to Nocturne and found that the public security there seemed to be better than we had imagined.
After I met and talked with my brother, he felt the same way.
"Maybe this place isn't bad. Although there are a lot of rude people, it's not as bad as I imagined. It's easier to find a day job here that doesn't ask about your identity."
"I thought so too. As long as you have money, you can find a place to live quickly. I have found someone. Although it only has three rooms, it looks clean. He said that if it is his own house, he can rent it out immediately. Although he looks like a bad person, my intuition tells me that he can be trusted, so it should be fine."
"If you put it that way, then it should be okay, right? What kind of house is it?"
"In addition to the kitchen and dining room, there is a relatively large room, which was originally supposed to be the living room, and two small rooms. There is also a bathroom. However, you and I will share one room, while Louis and his sister's family will live in the large living room. The other room is my aunt's. When the baby is born, the nephews can move to my aunt's room or ours. People come and go in the hotel, and I want to move out as soon as possible. He said that as long as the deposit is paid, it can be prepared immediately. Although he did not ask about my identity in detail, it seems that as long as the money is paid, there will be no special questions here, so let's make this place our base of life."
"Then let's go to the rental company and rent it right away, shall we? Get the room first, and then move my brother and the others in. Isn't this better?"
So, we went to find the man together, paid the money and got the key immediately, and asked if we could change the lock. He said if we did, he could give me a new lock, so we immediately brought my brother and his family over. My brother took out the tools from his luggage, helped me change the lock, and cast various security magic.
Then, we handed the keys to the landlord and asked where we could buy things, so we immediately went to buy daily necessities.
In the following time, we prioritized adapting to life here and collecting information. My sister was about to give birth and needed someone to accompany her during the birth. This problem was also quickly solved. My brother found a therapist who had been delivering babies in this area for many years. It's great to have money, it's very convenient at times like this.
However, this limited the channels for collecting information, so we started to take turns to work. Daily jobs were always available. My brother and I mainly worked on farms and construction sites. My younger brother worked part-time several times a week in a magic prop antique shop between Diagon Alley and Nocturne.
So far, the pursuers have not come here, and their presence is almost unnoticed. It is a wise choice to escape to England!
They may still be looking for us persistently, but if we have the free time, wouldn’t it be better to study and find a solution ourselves?
While I was living like this, my sister gave birth to a girl. During this time, I learned that my nephews seemed to be able to go to school in the learning facilities of Nocturne. Although we can teach them by ourselves, we can't make friends if we stay indoors all the time. In addition, we occasionally take our nephews to Hogsmeade to play under caution. It's really nice there. Because it is a village exclusively for magic people, there is no need to worry about using magic in front of Muggles, and the children can play with children of the same age.
There is another thing that makes me feel good about coming to the UK.
This red hair is totally inconspicuous.
Yes, in the Muggle world, such red hair is quite rare, but it is common in the British wizarding world. There are so many Weasleys that we don't stand out at all. As expected, it is reasonable that the pursuers can't find us. Although we have never encountered them because of our uncle's powerful contract magic, we are mistaken for Weasleys wherever we go, and we use this to hide ourselves, so we neither deny nor confirm it.
I didn't expect that this red hair would be so useful.
When I was a kid, I hated this, but now it's become my favorite. Thanks to this, I can live peacefully. By the way, my nephews and my newborn niece also have red hair. So, my nephews can go out without worrying about it. The Weasley family seems to be a family with many children and grandchildren. There are children who are about the same age as my nephew and others, so the identities can be confused.
The Weasley blood is really strong... But I feel fortunate about this.
My aunt also started going to a nearby learning facility to teach the language every week.
“What kind of channel?”
"I've been staying at home, which is fine, but I was thinking, can't I do something? I was a little depressed. Then, a young man in his twenties greeted me and asked me what was wrong and if I had any troubles. He then invited me to have tea and chat. I thought it might not be a good idea to go with a stranger, but because he also had red hair, I guessed he might be a Weasley, so I went into a nearby cafe. I didn't ask his name, so I wasn't sure, but I thought he was like that. By the way, this was the first time I met a Weasley.
I live with my daughter and her husband, but I don't do anything and rely on them to support me. I feel bad. I talked to him about this and he asked me if my accent was French? Although I knew I didn't speak fluently, strangely, I spoke to him freely.
I said I could speak French, Italian, Spanish, and a little German. He said, "Then why don't you come to the learning facility and teach languages?" So he took me there. I was hired there. He told me that they had prepared teaching materials, but there were few people teaching languages, and they were troubled by this. I agreed right away. Is this okay? I also wrote down my address. Is this okay? I said too much at that time, and even accidentally said where I lived and wrote it down on the paper... Was I too careless?
"Are you okay? That learning facility is run by the Black family, but I think it's a good thing. To be honest, we may also be considered to be staying illegally, so can we consult quietly about this? How about finding a reliable lawyer with connections in the wizarding and Muggle worlds? Nicholas and Camille, what do you think?"
"Yes, life comes first, I forgot about this. Um... we have money, we can ask a lawyer that the Black family trusts to introduce us. But it may not be realistic to ask for this directly. Auntie must first gain the trust of the facility. If you think she is reliable, then go and consult her."
"Yes, let's observe first."
"I see. Let's do it. If it's okay with me, I'd like to take those kids to the learning facility, too."
So, my aunt started to work happily. She went to night school twice a week to teach people who wanted to learn languages. She seemed very happy, which was more important than anything else. Unlike her introverted sister, my aunt, who is more sociable, must have some pressure to live without contact with others. She always happily chatted with neighbors and also planted crops and flowers, but she couldn't do these here and was a little depressed recently, so I think this is a good thing for her.
Slowly but surely, I feel our lives are beginning to stabilize, and I have a strong hope that this peaceful life will continue.
