Chapter 408: Investigation (2)
"Go back and get it again, Hermione and I will be eating here slowly, waiting for you both. ”
The two boys obediently turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
"Alas, it's still far from it, it's about the same as when I was. Lockhart laughed and said, "That's how Mad Eye sat here back and forth, tossing me back and forth a few times before telling me that his magic eye could see me directly......"
"But you don't have an eye. ”
Lockhart shook his head mysteriously, "I have a demon body, I can sense them. ”
"Well, where did you just go. Hermione was still going to talk about Ginny, "you said she didn't like you. ”
"It doesn't matter if she likes me or not, the point is that I don't like her, no-I can't say I don't like her. Lockhart was a little distressed, and Hermione really thought too much about it this time: "Ginny, this girl, like her brothers, has a distinct personality - like her red hair, passionate, full of sense of justice, dare to love and hate, dare to speak and act. At the same time, they are very likable...... Of course I'd say I don't like her, of course I'm a liar - but I'm a person, to be honest, I'm not very interested in this kind of girl with a personality that is too prominent, she has a lot of good points, but none of them inspire me to want to be with her. ”
"Then you're still with me, what do you like about me? ”
"There's nothing to keep about talking to my dear wife about this...... I'm actually a person who eats soft rather than hard. You know, at first I only thought of you as my favorite student...... And I don't feel anything else, because I think you're a strong girl......" said Lockhart, "but I don't know when you became very obedient, gentle, and fragile in front of me, and then I slowly accepted you...... Of course, the most important thing is that you were with me during the most difficult time......"
"It's all right for Ginny—" Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief, "Do you know what Ginny told me during my fourth-year summer, she said you're a soft girl who likes it, so I don't want to be too personal in front of you." Act like a normal girl and think about what Fudge would do before you do it...... And then cry to you once in a while, or pretend to be pitiful, and confide in your true feelings or something. Just do that, 'make sure you take the bait' - that's what she said, you see if she's right." ”
"It's so powerful, Ginny can go to the Ministry of Magic to take care of personnel after graduation!" Lockhart showed the same expression as his wife, and couldn't help but admire Ginny so much, maybe he should ask Ginny for advice on how to get Pandora back?
"I'll confess to you, you won't hate me!" Hermione suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"How is that possible! I love you every breath I take now. Every movement and expression, love your kindness, love your bravery, love your hair that likes to mess with you, love your big bright eyes, love the way you frown, love your teeth when you smile......" Lockhart reached out and squeezed Hermione's hand on the table: "I admit it, the person I love the most is myself, but I am a piece of meat that fell from you. I love you like myself!"
"Okay, don't talk about it, it's really numb—" Hermione looked around nervously, and though she didn't say anything, she could tell from her red face that she was very useful for Lockhart's love words.
"These two guys are here again. Lockhart squeezed Hermione's hand. He pinched the back of her hand with his thumb and whispered.
So Hermione looked back at the door of the store, and two young men walked in, but she still couldn't see anything unusual.
――
"What's wrong again?" Harry looked at Hermione and turned his head. Knowing that it had been exposed, he exerted his indomitable spirit and ran to inquire again.
"Harry is fine. But Ron, what are you wearing, a suit with bell bottoms, and you'll have to learn more from Harry or Hermione on how to imitate Muggle dress. Lockhart shook his head, "Go back and change into your normal clothes!"

After the two boys went out again, Lockhart continued to comfort Hermione: "Okay, don't be cranky, nothing happened to me and Ginny, we don't have an emotional foundation, and I don't like her temperament-"
"I'm not asking you to promise not to touch her!" Hermione interjected, "You just admitted that you like obedient girls, and if I have to stop you from taking a second wife, won't you become the kind you say you don't like!"
"But now that I've legalized polygamy, you're not going to be vexatious, are you? Lockhart stared at her.
"No...... What I'm trying to say is, if you have to marry the second one, then I'd rather you marry Ginny. Hermione whispered, "At least she and I have a common language and can talk together." ”
Hermione's Occlumency, and she seemed to be getting more proficient, Lockhart couldn't tell if she was telling the truth...... But it didn't matter, he didn't think anything wrong about Ginny in the first place.
"No, I've promised Jasmine that I won't touch Ginny......" Lockhart felt a little strange when he said this, and promised her mother not to touch her, as if she would be touched by herself. "She didn't like me either. ”
"Yes...... Ginny isn't uglier than Fudge, do you know that many people in Gryffindor think Ginny is the school girl, why do you have to marry Fudge......"
"It's not to see who is beautiful......" Lockhart was a little speechless, did he look like this kind of person: "I admit that I like beautiful women, in fact, every man likes beautiful women, but appearance is not the determining condition, I love her, half of her beauty, the other half loves her temperament, and I also want to give her an explanation...... I promised to marry her, I wanted to marry her, and now I can afford to marry her...... That's all. ”
"She ......," said Hermione, a little unhappily, "I love you for your bravery, for your knowledge, for your gentleness...... As for her, maybe she just superficially likes your handsomeness and reputation......"
Lockhart shook his head in disapproval: "Hermione, you are a smart girl, do you think these words are convincing when you say them yourself? To love someone, you have to love some of his or her characteristics: appearance, wealth, status...... Well, and you said that you are knowledgeable, brave, and famous. Biological speaking, these characteristics are the advantages of an individual when looking for a mate, and there is no distinction between high and low in itself, but the world has to divide them into some level out of morality, social stability, or something - even if what you say is true, Pandora only loves my appearance and fame, or even just my wealth...... Is it more despicable and superficial than the bravery and gentleness that you love me? And between lovers, it is difficult and boring to make clear what they love each other. ”
"Alas...... Well, you're a literate person -- you can always tell a lot of truths about anything. Hermione's expression was a little frustrated, but she immediately relaxed as if she was fatal: "Forget it, you can marry if you want...... I'll tell you another secret about Ginny: she once told me in small talk that she liked heroic figures, great wizards, and better of all, handsome - the first two reasons she liked Harry back then, but the two of them were no more...... You're all three of these now, and you're dangling in front of her every day—"
"It's just that you think I'm handsome, and people's aesthetics may not be the same as yours. Lockhart said with a smile, then calmed down, stared at his wife for a while, and had a suspicion in his heart: Could it be that Hermione was trying to use Ginny to induce her to give up Pandora......?
This cunning little girl...... He shook his head helplessly, but this was Hermione, not to mention that she just wanted to use some little tricks, even if it was a little too much, as long as it didn't touch his bottom line, he couldn't get angry......
