Chapter 397: Going Crazy
"That girl from the Fudge family won't marry Gildero?" Mrs. Weasley seemed to relax, "Anyway, this law is not correct, monogamy is the right way." ”
"But I read Rita's book, and it seems that a witch marrying a Muggle doesn't end well. Ginny was a little unconvinced, anyway, as long as it was Fleur's opinion, she would oppose it. "It says that the current ratio of witches and wizards is 1:13, and if polygamy is not opened, at least 800 witches in the country will have to choose to marry Muggle ......"
"Then it's better to marry a Muggle than two witches to a wizard!" Fleur interrupted Ginny.
"Then why don't you marry a Muggle and have to find Bill?" asked Ginny-for-tat.
"Bill and I are genuinely in love, are you going to force me to divorce him and find a Muggle?" Fleur looked at Ginny with contempt, as if she thought she was very naïve, much to the latter's displeasure.
"If Bill had a wife before he met you, and you would either choose to marry him or marry a Muggle, which one would you choose?"
"If I had to choose one or the other, of course I would marry Bill. Fleur raised her head and pointed her nostrils at her, "But reality is not as simple as either/or, and before I met Bill, there were a lot of wizards who pursued me." ”
"Hmph—vixen. Ginny muttered in a voice that Fleur could hear. But Fleur's arrogance made her not even bothered to pay attention to such criticism.
"Shut up, Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley was furious when she saw that her daughter seemed to support the law, "I'd rather see you be one of the eight hundred witches who marry Muggles than allow you to be a little wife to someone else!"
"The marriage law stipulates that it is my own business who I marry with, and no one will be a little wife, and all wives are equal in status!" Ginny retorted: "Didn't you tell me when I was a child that a bad witch only married a Muggle, don't you want your daughter to have a bad life?"
"Oh, don't make a noise. Hermione whispered, "Unless it's a witch like me whose parents are Muggles." Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for a witch to marry a Muggle because of the difference in her upbringing and cultural background, living habits and even values...... Not to mention that many Muggles are often frightened when they hear that they have married a witch—"
"Even Hermione said that!" Mrs. Weasley became even more annoyed, "do you want Gildelow to find you two little sisters?"
――
Did Hermione come up with these words herself, of course not, they were all written in Rita's article.
Not only inexperienced girls like Hermione and Ginny, but in reality, many people also like to take the content of the books or newspapers they see at first sight seriously - this is normal, if you have to criticize people for not knowing how to think independently, it is not sick**, after all, if everyone sees everything and hears every sentence, they immediately question it. Immediately suspect that there is some conspiracy behind these things...... Then society may become more chaotic.
Only someone like Lockhart who has ever written a book can know how easy it is to add a little bit of smuggling or lies to what he writes...... At least for now, it seems that the task given to Rita Skeeter has been brilliantly completed by this "talented woman".
――
"Of course I don't want Gildero to marry someone else, but I can't just force those witches to marry Muggles just because I'm happy!" Hermione said, "I'm just for this law, not for Gildero to marry these eight hundred witches!"
"It's all Rita Skeeter's stuff, you little girls always read what you believe and what you little girls believe!" Mrs. Weasley hated a little that iron could not be made of steel, and suddenly her mind turned to guess something: "I see." She's going to write that book, and she's sure to have instructed Gildero!"
"What did she write about me, can you stop talking to me about everything!" Lockhart was exposed, and immediately became annoyed and angry. But if he doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to him. "And there are few good things for witches to marry Muggles, you see what the hell Voldemort is, and the Severus family......"
"Rita's books are never written blindly, and they can be a little subjective. But everything inside is true. Hermione looked like a husband and wife, "As far as things matter, I think witches, especially those born into wizarding families. It's better to marry a wizard. ”
"Mom, I'll definitely find you a few daughters-in-law with long faces. Fred said with a grin.
"How can a few be enough, we have six brothers, at least we have to find a dozen daughters-in-law for my mother. George corrected his brother's statement.
"Fart!" the witch was almost stupefied by her own sons.
"Don't argue, the mystery man isn't dead yet, let's leave these inconsequential things alone, okay. Harry whispered.
"Okay, don't fight, look at it, Gildero is rich and powerful now, if he can bear not to marry three or four wives, there will be no scum in this world!"
"Jasmine!" Arthur motioned for her.
Hermione also looked a little unhappy, and anyone who was scolded in front of her husband for being a scumbag would not be comfortable thinking about it.
"Mom. "Even Percy can't stand it anymore. "Needless to say, although controversial, polygamy is legal now. ”
"Hermione, let me tell you, how Gildelow got through this polygamy law. Realizing that she was going a little too far, Mrs. Weasley softened her tone, "He privately sought out every Order of the Phoenix and Auror in the Wizengamot, and begged for their support!
Mrs. Weasley guessed correctly again, and two of the three men shrugged at her indifferently.
"You don't care now, when Gildelow finds a few wives and snubs you, it's too late to regret it!" she said to Hermione at the end, annoying Lockhart completely.
"No matter who I marry, Hermione is the woman I love the most!"
"That's what you're saying now!" the other party didn't care. "Gildero, how do I think that you are the Minister of Magic just to use your power to marry more wives to satisfy your bottomless desire for conquest?"
"Just?" Lockhart was really angry: "You don't see how many things I've done, just grab me and do a little convenience for yourself! I can at least bring peace and prosperity to all wizards as Minister of Magic, not to mention anything else, your children are living better than before, I arranged positions for each of them, and applied for benefits-"
"Who's rare, Arthur, and Bill, you all give me resignation. Mrs. Weasley was also furious, "Don't give this guy a brain worm, our family is poor, but I don't want you to be pitied!"
"Jasmine—"
"Who's working for whom?"
In the past, Lockhart paid three points to Mrs. Weasley, for the sake of her being a dozen years older than himself and an old seniority in the Order of the Phoenix. But a lot of things lately...... In particular, Pandora's refusal to see him again made him a little irritated. At this time, he was provoked by her again, and he was about to have a seizure with the strength of wine, and he stood up on the ground.
"How many times have I met Voldemort? at first it was just a fool of myself, and Dumbledore came to the rescue, and then I waited until later...... Once I lost my most beloved instructor, once I was seriously injured and almost died, and once I even died! How much did I suffer to stand in front of him! How many times have you seen Voldemort? Do you know what it's like to be alone against the strongest dark wizard? Have you ever been disemboweled by Voldemort with a spell? You...... Not to mention being hit by the death curse, you haven't even encountered the people around you being hit by the death curse a few times!"
Lockhart's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was aggrieved or angry: "You stay at home comfortably, and when the war is over and Voldemort is driven away, you jump out and point fingers at me?"
"You...... Don't change the subject!" Mrs. Weasley was momentarily speechless - she was not sitting comfortably at home waiting for the war to end, but she had been working as hard as she could to defeat Lord Voldemort under the house arrest and surveillance of the Death Eaters, and finally took her children to the Battle of Hogwarts......
But if there was one person in the world who could accuse her of doing nothing, it would be Lockhart, who was doing more than sitting at home and waiting for the war to end, compared to the dangers he had experienced.
"Arthur and Bill, now working in the Ministry of Magic, are working hard for the restoration of order in the entire wizarding world, not for me!" Lockhart knocked on the table to emphasize this: "As for the money sent to you, it is a benefit stipulated in the new wizarding law, every wizard has it, you don't want to send it to your home too, you have the ability to throw away your share, but the children's they handle it themselves!"
It was the first time that most of the people present had seen Lockhart angry, and even Teddy Lupin was looking at him as stunned as little Gabrielle.
"Gidero, don't be angry, we're just having some discussion about this law, there's no need to argue. Arthur came out to lighten the mood.
"As for polygamy, yes, I'm just using my power, what's the matter!" Lockhart shook off Hermione and quietly took his hand, and continued to vent without stopping: "Am I desperately trying to get rid of the Dark Lord, and then retreat to Hogwarts to continue teaching without anything?Or do I write my own story into a book, and then retire and disappear from the public eye? I'm sorry, I'm not as great and selfless as you! Now I'm going to enjoy the fruits of victory- Not for fame or profit, but to be able to legally marry a second girl of my love! There are certainly many people in Britain who are unhappy, but I want to say to these people, I feel uncomfortable and put up with me!"
"Gildero, you're drunk, calm down. Marry as many as you want, and none of us can stop you and are not prepared to stop you. Sirith waved his hand, "Sit down, you've scared your godson." ”
