No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Lupin looked at the headmaster's office. They had often come here when they were students. Obviously, Dumbledore had no private property or private residence. He had devoted his whole life to Hogwarts. Or, in other words, Hogwarts had always supported this old man. Of course, this was too absolute. The old man could survive anywhere. After all, he was the greatest wizard in the magic world.

"What's the matter? Remus dear!"

"This is the total amount of James' inheritance that I just checked." Lupin took out the piece of brown paper.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and looked at the brown paper. He had taken money from Lupin before, and knew that Lupin had James' authorization. So, when he saw the note above, the starting time was the account flow during the period when Lupin was authorized. Lupin was proving his innocence. He got James' authorization, but he only took out a sum of money that James confirmed and handed it over according to James's request. So during the period when Lupin was authorized, there was only this sum of money. The rest was James's legacy.

"My dear, what do you want to say?" Dumbledore had to ask again. He had never paid attention to the amount of James' inheritance. So he really hadn't paid attention to how much the total was before and how much was left when it was handed over to Harry.

"Little Harry wants to buy back his grandparents' estate, but he doesn't have that much money." Lupin suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly.

Dumbledore paused for a moment, "Why do you want to buy back the manor? There..."

"The point is, 70% of James' wealth is gone. That was what James left to Harry. That was the wealth passed down from generation to generation in the Potter family. 70% is gone." Lupin stood up, his face flushed with anger.

All the portraits pricked up their ears and stared at the two people below. 70% of the inheritance was gone, and there was no money to buy back the ancestral home. This was a big news!

Dumbledore also looked at Lupin calmly, with a look of disapproval on his face. He was a man of few things and didn't care about money at all. So he liked James and his friends very much and felt that they were Gryffindors. They had the courage to move forward for justice.

So over the years, he spent money to find the whereabouts of the mysterious man, but he didn't know how much he spent. He didn't think he was spending Harry's money, he thought it was James's donation to the Order of the Phoenix. He didn't spend a penny on himself. He even put his own money in the Order of the Phoenix. He didn't have a penny, and you said Harry lost 70% of his inheritance.

"I will explain to Harry." Dumbledore said softly after thinking about it for a long time.

He suspected that Lupin had heard something from Harry. Also, Harry had been questioning the inheritance since he returned to the wizarding world, and the lawsuit for compensation was still going on. He was also a member of the Supreme Court, so he knew very well how much compensation Harry could get.

They didn't dare to come to him, and now they were encouraging Lupin to come to him. Dumbledore was a little unhappy. He began to think that Harry was really starting to look like a qualified Slyklin.

"No, Harry didn't want to check at all, because he knew that he couldn't check and couldn't ruin your reputation, so he endured it. As if the money was gone. But even so, when Sirius gave him the property, he refused. Because it was someone else's money, he couldn't take it." Lupin had been observing people's expressions like this for many years, so he guessed Dumbledore's suspicion and said it word by word, and every sentence hit Dumbledore's heart hard. 'He can't take other people's money! ' Even Dumbledore couldn't help but feel his ears slightly hot. "Mr. Lupin!" Dumbledore was also angry, with a dark face, "I didn't use it recklessly, not even a copper or sodium from it went into my personal pocket, and all my income at Hogwarts was invested in great causes."

"Your money is your own, you can invest it however you want! But it is Harry's inheritance. As the executor designated by James, your responsibility is not to help Harry spend the money, but to help him protect the money. I hope you can check out the account statements for the past twelve years, except for the support paid to Harry's aunt's family, and for the rest, we can discuss a practical compensation plan." Lupin said seriously.

"Child support?" Dumbledore was stunned again. He still needed to pay child support? Dumbledore was stunned. "I asked Mrs. Figg to look after Harry at Privet Drive."

"You didn't just hire a lady to live nearby, but didn't give any support to Harry's aunt?" Lupin didn't know Mrs. Figg, but he knew that Lily and her sister Petunia didn't have a good relationship. Her brother-in-law was a law-abiding person, and he was very afraid of anything going wrong. So, Lily and her family kept their distance from them as much as possible, and he sent them back without giving them a copper knut. Lupin wanted to visit Petunia and thank her for raising Harry selflessly.

Lupin was no longer furious, but desperate. Now, he finally understood that Harry was indifferent to the Gryffindors except the Fosters. Even when he said that he was his father's friend, Harry just nodded indifferently. There was no intimacy between them, and there was no happiness of reuniting relatives and friends.

Harry lived with his Muggle aunt for eleven years, and the heir of the wealthy Potter family became a penniless sojourner. So Harry did not ask, but worked hard to restore the glory of his family. James might be a hero in the wizarding world, but in the history of the Potter family, he would be recorded as a famous prodigal.

"Remus, donate to the Order of the Phoenix. This is James' wish." Dumbledore didn't want to talk about the issue of child support. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. They were blood relatives. Wasn't it his duty to help raise his own flesh and blood?

"He died at that time, and his wishes in life ended with his death. After his death, that was the inheritance, that was Harry's property. You have no right to withdraw and use it at will.

You are the executor, you can use the money for investment, and there may be losses or gains, but all of them must be based on the premise of increasing profits for Harry.

But you just make random withdrawals without even keeping an account book, so Harry can sue you for corruption at any time, and you will be infamous in the wizarding world. This is not what I want to see, and it is not what James wants to see.

So, I went to check the accounts without telling Harry, and Harry never saw it. This is the last thing I, as your former student and benefactor, did for you and him in private."

Lupin was about to burst into tears. He was grateful to Dumbledore, but he couldn't be so foolish as to betray James and Lily. If he didn't know this, it would be fine, but since he already knew it, he couldn't pretend not to know.

So, as he said, he could only go to Dumbledore privately and tell him that this was not possible. I can not tell Harry, and Harry will not check, but what about your reputation in the wizarding world? There is evidence. (End of this chapter)
