After the recapture of the Ministry of Magic and the declaration of continued compliance with the "Secrecy Act", preparations and various blockades by European countries for the armed intervention of the British wizarding community also stopped, and although there was a steady stream of wizards sent to investigate whether Lockhart's promises were true, Pandora was able to board the plane back to China.

In mid-May, a week after the new wizarding law was introduced, Lockhart picked up the pretty little witch at the airport. Compared to nine months ago, she looked taller - not longer, but lovesick and thin.

"Professor!" Pandora ran from afar, and threw herself into Lockhart's arms.

"Honey, missed me. Lockhart kissed her, and found that she seemed to be whiter, could it be that she did not bask in the sun in France. "By the way, I'm not a professor now, I'm a minister. ”

"Anyway, I'm going to call you Professor!" Pandora, taller than Hermione, was facing Lockhart's chin even when she was cowering in Lockhart's arms, and she looked up and looked at Lockhart, the hot breath of both of them spraying into each other's faces. "I want to die, a few months ago the newspaper said that the fake professor died, I was almost scared to death, and I said that two days ago, what the hell is going on?"

"Everything was part of my plan. Lockhart said with a smile, hugging the little beauty in his arms.

"Why do you seem to be getting younger, haven't you had a good life in the past six months?" After the excitement passed, Pandora suddenly noticed the strangeness of her boyfriend: "The color of your eyes has also changed-" The tone suddenly panicked, "You are not a professor, who are you!"

The girl in her arms suddenly struggled, causing passers-by to start watching. Lockhart hugged her tightly in his arms: "It's me." Don't worry, I've fallen under the spell of the mysterious man, which is why my appearance has changed. ”

Pandora couldn't break free. Nervously asked, "How do you prove it?"

"Prove it, now I'll send you back to Hogwarts, finish your business first, and then get married. Lockhart leaned into her ear and said, "When you were in fourth grade, I made an appointment with you in the office, remember?"

"Remember—" Pandora's face suddenly turned as red as beetroot. At the same time, he quieted down and looked nervously from side to side.

――

On the way back to the Ministry of Magic with Pandora, Lockhart thought about it. Afraid that she would have some conflict with Hermione at school, she still told her that he was married.

"Are you kidding, didn't you say you'd send Granger abroad to take refuge?" Pandora's originally red face turned pale, if not white. The change must be super-noticeable. "Now you say she saved your life, so you married her?"

"She won't go—" Lockhart grabbed her firmly, he clearly felt the girl's physical and emotional changes, and his joy turned to despair in an instant.

"You drove me away, and said she wouldn't go!" she cried out, but luckily the knight's bus had now become a free transportation for wizards from the Ministry of Magic, and there was no conductor, and there were only two of them in the car. No one was watching. "Why, isn't she just a nerd who studies better? I didn't learn magic as well, but I just got a high test score! They all said she was smart, am I stupid! If she saves you, you're going to marry her, what logic! I'm going to try my best to save you if I want to stay, you-"

"I'll marry you too, I'll use all means to make polygamy legal!" Lockhart said quickly.

"I'm the youngest daughter of the Fudge family, who doesn't treat me as a treasure since I was a child, so I don't want to be a little wife for others!" the little girl shouted with tears in her eyes, "And I still share a husband with that slut, no way! Don't even think about it!"

"Don't use that word to say Hermione......"

"Oh, you're protecting her now, I'm going to say-slut!slut!slut!slut!I...... If you don't go to Hogwarts, let me go home, I'll ...... right away Find someone to marry!" Pandora cried even more sadly, "Let me go home! ”

"Fart, you see me say that you are my wife, who dares to marry you!" If someone insulted Hermione like this, Lockhart would have hit it with a heart curse, but Pandora had to scold him for nothing...... can only press the girl in his arms hard, "Don't think about going anywhere, go to school honestly, and marry me after the exam!"

He spoke in such a strong tone, and Pandora's temper had done it obediently, but this time his order was completely beyond the girl's acceptable bottom line, and she could not agree.

"Aren't you good, no one dares to marry me...... I'll be single for the rest of my life, and I won't be your little wife!"

"Then I'll rush to your house and arrest you and lock you up in my house!"

"Don't think about it!" she bit down hard at the arm that was clutching her, and Lockhart was afraid to use the body charm for fear of damaging her teeth, and was so bitten that she let go of her hand. The girl broke free and rushed to the car door.

"Get out of the car, I'm going home!" she shouted at the driver, banging on the door.

"Drive towards the Ministry of Magic!" Lockhart said to the driver who turned back to look inside the car, "Don't stop!"

"This bad guy kidnapped me, I don't know him!" Pandora shouted, shrinking back into the small platform inside the car door. "Help!"

――

Just kidding, how could the driver of the knight's bus not know him now with the benefits and wages that the Minister of Magic had earned...... The girl has nowhere to run and falls into someone's clutches. Lockhart pulled Pandora with his back to him, one arm clasping her thin waist and the other wrapping around her breasts, so that she could neither struggle nor bite herself.

"Uhhh

"I changed a wizarding method for you, do you understand?"

"Isn't it awesome? I'm not rare! Whoever loves to marry you, you can marry whomever you want, don't think I'll agree!" Pandora cried so much that her shoulders trembled, "You divorce her, I will listen to you obediently immediately!"

"That can't be—"

"Then let me go home, I don't want to see anyone!"

"Your family is also in the Ministry of Magic. ”

――

For the rest of the way, the little witch just didn't say a word, crying silently.

Running back happily, only to find out that her boyfriend has married someone else, what could be more frustrating than that? Not to mention that the woman is still the junior who has been pressed by herself in the whole circle, and she jumped on her head at once. Pandora not only felt betrayed, but also humiliated to the extreme! This still doesn't let go of herself, and wants her to be a little wife with a shy face?

Lockhart is also very helpless about this, this kind of thing can't help with any magic, and it is impossible to modify memories so that a person who has accepted the concept of monogamy since childhood can suddenly accept being someone else's little wife. Even if it was possible, how could he use this method against a girl he really liked?

He will do everything he can, and if he still can't convince Pandora, then he can only live honestly with Hermione.

After Pandora was sent to the Ministry of Magic, she refused Lockhart's escort and went to the area where her family lived with red eyes, seeking comfort from her relatives.

――

The Fudge family, saying that they don't want to befriend Lockhart, who is now extremely powerful and powerful, must be false. Marriage for the sake of profit is not uncommon for these large families...... But in fact, from ancient times to the present, there are few marriages that completely ignore the feelings of their children, let alone be a little wife...... Although there is no such thing as a "little wife" in law, the order of precedence still gives people the illusion of priority and subordination.

Pandora's parents and other elders unanimously decided to respect her decision, but persuaded her to go to school first, as she would graduate in just one month.

――

Lockhart sat in a leather chair in the minister's office and looked coldly at a woman in front of him: "Do you know why I came to you?" ”

"No—I don't know. Rita Skeeter looked not only frightened, but also embarrassed and terrible, and the previously well-scalded curls found to be straightened and hung in disarray. The red nail polish had peeled off the two-inch-long pointed nails, and the jeweled glasses were nowhere to be seen.

Her embarrassed appearance was mostly faked: when the Death Eaters were in power, there was no and could not have embarrassed a reporter for some reason - not to mention that she had done a lot of work for the Death Eaters to discredit the Savior and the Order of the Phoenix, and the effect was obvious.

But the fear is real: Lockhart, who he thought he had gotten rid of, has now become the man who defeated the Dark Lord, and has become the most powerful wizard in British wizarding - but what is he looking for himself to do today, does the Minister of Magic need to go into battle himself to find trouble with a little reporter?
