Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

He returned to the Room of Requirement with a solemn expression. Hermione was still sitting there wiping tears and ignoring him.

"Honey, I persuaded Ginny to leave. I made it clear."

"Are you trying to deal with her the same way you did to me before?" Hermione turned her face away from him, "I'm not angry with her at all, she must have been addicted to the aphrodisiac - did you give it to her? of?"

"I--"

"You're doing it for her blood, I can guess it!" Hermione said with a bit of resentment in her voice, "You can suck whatever you want from a big living person like me, why do you still do such a thing!"

"Don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I don't suck? I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to suck other people's blood..." Lockhart sat down and carefully put his arm around her. Hermione twisted but did not struggle.

"Then you just said that you still want to marry Pandora. Is it true, or are you just lying to Ginny?" Hermione asked with red eyes, "Am I really just your wife in the Muggle world, and then Miss Fudge counts?" Your wizard wife?"

"No, no, no, you are my real wife, not just from the Muggle world..." Lockhart hugged her tightly, "But since the Ministry of Magic has such a good policy, why don't I make both of you legal?" I’m married.”

"Such a good policy?" Hermione said angrily, "Are you saying that witches are not allowed to marry Muggles even if they marry the same wizard? This is the policy of the Death Eaters. It not only discriminates against Muggles, but also Discriminating against witches! Why can’t a witch have two husbands?”

"But there are more witches than wizards..."

"But at least the law should be equal!"

"I've never heard of your ideas, feminism?"

"You are a chauvinist!" Hermione said angrily, "Women are just accessories in your eyes. It is normal for a man to have several wives, but not the other way around!"

"Yes, I am a male chauvinist. What's wrong with men being protective and conquering? But you are not an accessory in my eyes. You are my wife. Even if Pandora is willing to marry me, you are the one I love most. Isn't it okay?" Lockhart simply admitted it. So what if he admitted it? Is machismo a crime? "You ask why the other way around doesn't work. Do you still want to marry a second person? Tell me who that person is. I'll kill him!"

"One moment he said he wanted to be legal, and the next he said he wanted to kill someone!" Hermione angrily tried to push him away, "Then if you insist on marrying Pandora, I'll kill her too."

"Don't make trouble unreasonably!" Lockhart hugged her tightly.

"You are being unreasonable. You and I have shared the joys and sorrows. And then you actually want me to accept your marriage to another woman?" Hermione started crying again. "She is hiding abroad comfortably and has no suffering at all. She won’t eat, and then when the war is over, she will happily come back and marry a hero, the man she loves! I feel unbalanced!”

"My dear, I know you have suffered a lot in the past few months, but I promised Pandora long ago that I would marry her. If I marry you first now, it would be considered betraying her -" Lockhart stroked Hermione's hand. Back, he said patiently. "As for you saying she was too comfortable...yes, she didn't make any contribution to our war against the mysterious man. But it was not her who wanted to run away, but me who drove her away. I can't possibly do it because she listened to me If you leave this reason and don't want her, it's completely unfair... Do you know what I like most about her? She is just more obedient than you. Maybe you want to say that she has no personality, yes, she is not like you in the Muggle world. The grown-up girl is interesting and doesn’t know as much as you, but I really like her..."

"Don't give me a lot of reasons. If she wasn't so beautiful, would you still like her? You said it's unfair to her, but I still think it's unfair - anyway, I don't like her. With her, without me, with me Not her!" Hermione blurted out. "If you want to marry her, divorce me first!"

Lockhart was silent. He didn't know what other reasons could convince Hermione. Thinking hard. But his silent look frightened Hermione. She just said those words impulsively, without thinking at all.

Isn't this a stupid statement that throws away the biggest advantage of being Lockhart's only wife and arbitrarily forces him to make a decision?

Hermione knew that even this forced Lockhart to give up Pandora. It may also leave a knot in his heart. If there is a problem in the relationship between the couple in the future, he will be the one to suffer... At least he can still cry while being held by him. If he divorces on impulse, wouldn't that be a place to cry? It’s all gone, and you’re going to go back and think of ways to get back the husband you finally got?

"Forget it... pretend I didn't say what I just said..." Hermione muttered, taking back her words first and thinking of a solution later. "Just talk to Fudge and see if she is willing to be your second wife. If she is not willing, she will not allow you to pester her!"

"What?" Lockhart didn't know why Hermione suddenly relented, but wouldn't the problem be solved now? "Of course, if she doesn't accept it, I will definitely live by your side with peace of mind!"

"You -" Hermione looked at Lockhart's surprised expression and knew that she had given in too much again. She was so wronged that she cried even harder: "You just bully me, you just rely on me to love you and care about you." I can’t live without you, so I feel confident and don’t care what I think!”

"How could it be? I care most about what you think..." Lockhart put his hand on Hermione's waist and squeezed it gently, lowering his head to kiss the tears from the corners of her eyes. "My dear, please accommodate me on this matter, and I will listen to you in everything from now on!"

"You dump Fudge, and I will listen to you in everything from now on!" Hermione replied tit for tat.

"Don't make trouble, listen to me, and I will make it up to you in the future..." Lockhart's brows relaxed, but then he frowned again. Hermione had discussed it with her after all. How would Pandora react when she heard such news? She just doesn't lose her temper at herself. It's definitely not that she has no temper. She once attacked Hermione with a wand... It's absolutely impossible for her to agree immediately - after leaving for a while, she came back to find that her fiancé had married someone else. , and also asked herself to be his second wife. Even a normal girl would not be able to compromise.

Maybe Hermione saw this clearly and let go?

What would Pandora do? Was he crying and fussing, or was he angrily challenging Hermione to a duel? Speaking of which, there is no telling who is higher or lower in strength than Hermione...

"How about we stay for two more days and then leave Hogwarts," Lockhart said. "Otherwise Ginny will keep coming over and pestering me—"

"Whatever!" Hermione said angrily.

"Then it's settled." Lockhart nodded, "Just pack your things."
