All Mary had ever feared was the feeling of being in the air, and now that she had enjoyed flying, those fears no longer mattered.

Sophie became even more excited. She repeatedly praised Mary for her bravery, and told her what little riding knowledge she had.

Phipps Knight was adjusting the lady's saddle on Sansos's back. He fastened the saddle quickly, and then told Iseron Pegasus, "Sansos, don't fly too fast or too high, just fly Take Miss Bennet up and around a few times."

Then he turned to Mary, "Miss Bennet, if you want to land, you can order Santhos directly, or you can tighten the rein, but this horse is always used to direct orders."

Mary looked at Sophie, who smiled and said, "I always order directly, I really don't understand how it understands."

However, Mary remembered that Hogwarts had such content in the magical creatures class. The main difference between magical creatures and ordinary creatures is that they have special intelligence, and communicating with humans is one of the manifestations of this intelligence.

So when she sat on the lady's saddle again, she ordered softly, "Santhos, take off now."

However, perhaps it was due to exhausting too much energy when climbing over the mountain. This time, the Iseron Pegasus seemed listless. It just carried Mary around the Stillwater Manor twice, and returned by itself without waiting for her order. .

The two ladies were flustered for a while, and fed Sansos some fodder, Sophie eagerly asked Phibs Knight to ask Sansos if he could fly for a while, and she wanted to ride a few more laps.

As the main means of travel for wizards in England for hundreds of years, the Yseron Pegasus must have something special. After a short rest, Sansos returned to normal. Sophie and Mary rode again, In the end, they were all satisfied.

"Ladies, leave it to me." Phipps Knight took the reins from Mary, and asked, "When do you plan to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning?"

"It's not too early," Sophie snapped back. "I'm asking Dad to book a room at the Leaky Cauldron tonight. We just have to be there by noon tomorrow, and then we can try their signature roast veal and have a drink." Mead, go shopping after lunch."

This is obviously a shopping plan that the ladies like, and Phipps Knight just shrugged, "Well, that's it."

When they got back into the house, Mary said to Sophie, "I'm going to Gringotts first to exchange my Muggle money."

"Oh, I almost forgot," cried Sophie, and she patted Mary on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll have time."

I don't know if this is the reason, but the next morning, under Sophie's urging, they set off before ten o'clock, and the time for apparating was negligible. Once they arrived at Diagon Alley, Sophie arranged for three people to go first. Gringotts, ready to redeem Mary's Galleons before lunch.

Upon entering the Gringotts doors, Mary was astonished that the counter she was familiar with for exchanging pounds and galleons was empty, and Phipps Knight immediately went to ask the other goblins in the hall.

"The Black Duke is here at Gringotts today, and that group of goblins has been honored to be transferred to receive His Excellency the Duke." The goblin who answered cast a glance at Mary unceremoniously. .”

"It's nothing, Mary," Sophie said loudly before the goblin left, "I can lend you the money first."

This seems to be the only solution, but Mary is still very frustrated. She actually has some Galleons she saved, which is only enough to buy books. If she wants to buy an owl, she can only borrow money.

Phipps Knight and Sophie had already gone outside, and Mary could only follow behind them, when suddenly, a voice called out, "Miss Sophie Windermere and Miss Mary Bennet? "

The person who came out from behind the pillar did not know any of the three of them. He first politely apologized for his rashness, and then introduced himself, saying that his surname was Dawn, and he was a former Ravenclaw graduate. Worked as an assistant therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital.

"Miss Windermere, Miss Bennet, I think you are here to exchange Muggle money," Mr. Dawn lowered his voice, "I think maybe we can exchange it privately. I need some Muggle pounds."

Sophie didn't answer, she glanced at Mary, and Phipps Knight had already said arrogantly, "Sir, I think we should go out first."

Four people stood on the street outside Gringotts, and Mr. Dawn repeated hastily, "I need some pounds urgently, so if you guys want to exchange pounds for gold Galleons, I hope you can use gold Galleons." Long will exchange pounds with you."

The two ladies were standing behind Phipps Knight. Although Mary had already considered exchanging money with this man, the man should still come forward on this occasion.

"Sir, how can we trust you?" Phipps Knight asked unceremoniously, "I don't think the two ladies will remember you either."

Mr. Dawn immediately produced a metal pin, and under the badge of St. Mungo's was an additional plate bearing his name and position. "If you are going to St. Mungo's for treatment, welcome to come to me," he said with a polite smile.

Phipps Knight took the pin, turned and handed it to Mary, "Miss Bennet, what do you think?"

Mary took a closer look, she was inexperienced in this area, so she was hesitant.

Only to hear that Mr. Dawn pleaded again very sincerely, "I really need pounds to send to my Muggle parents urgently, so, Miss Bennet, please help me."

Mary then looked at Phibos Knight, "Mr. Knight, can we promise Mr. Stoke?"

Then things were simple. Mr. Dawn was invited to the room that Mr. Windermere had booked in the Leaky Cauldron. He exchanged twenty Galleons for Mary's one hundred pounds, and both parties got their wish.

"I think he is indeed a student of Ravenclaw." As soon as Mr. Dawn walked away, Sophie immediately commented, "I seem to have a little impression, after all, he is still handsome."

"I remember that too," Mary laughed. "He's Muggle-born, so I remember him."

She also found that the therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital seemed to be paid quite a lot. Obviously, Mr. Dawn used his salary to support his Muggle parents.

She had not yet told Sophie of Phipbus Knight's proposal, which certainly did not prevent her from developing some new desire for St. Mungo's work.

The pre-ordered lunch filled the tables quickly, and relative to the money exchanged earlier, the meal really went off without a hitch.Sophie had a soft spot for the Leaky Cauldron's signature roast veal, and Mary had it three times, all of which were her treats.Maybe, when she finds a job and has income, she should be invited back.

"Let's go buy an owl first," Sophie arranged while drinking the last glass of mead, "let the owl fly back to Stillwater Manor by itself, and then go buy books and potion materials."

"Wonderful," smiled Mary, feeling better again, "I can't wait to see my owl."

"Oh, think about it," Sophie murmured sadly, "by this time next year, you won't know where you're going to work. You must be living in a small house by yourself, so with an owl by your side, it's finally not bad."

"It's still a good thing," Mary said with a self-deprecating smile, "Maybe I can't find a job, so I have to go home."

Phipps Knight had always played the role of an observer, and at this moment he suddenly interjected, "With your character, Miss Bennet, even if you return home, I don't believe that you will allow your father to prevent you from meeting the wizard." Let's date."

This sudden comment stunned Mary for a moment, and then she shook her head, "I really haven't thought about it."

"I will definitely look for you when the time comes," Sophie said hastily, "I think Sansos already knows where your home is."

Mary also laughed, "Dear Sophie, then my mother will definitely receive you very warmly."

The young people present almost instinctively wanted to avoid such a slightly heavy topic. The three of them quickly drank their remaining mead, and Phipps Knight took the initiative to pay the bill.

The front of the owl shop is as narrow as most wizard shops, but the shop has a huge space, the lobby is high, the roof is so dark that the roof is almost invisible, and there are some magic lamps burning with blue or green flames on the walls on both sides, so Customers can see densely hung owl cages.

The owls are divided into various levels. Even if Mary entered this store for the first time, she could still see it at a glance. There were several owls squeezed into the big cages in the corner. It was obviously a bargain, and more owls were in one cage. , but there are some that are quite rare in appearance alone, such as a majestic snowy owl standing alone on the perch next to the counter. Mary noticed that its feet were not chained, so it Feel free to fly high.

"Miss Bennet," whispered Phipps Knight, "what's your budget?"

Mary's owl project has been going on for several years, so she does know the price of owls. Generally speaking, five Galleons can buy a medium-sized owl.

She could afford five Galleons, so she answered Phibbus Knight.

"Oh, let me choose one for you." He didn't even wait for Mary to thank him, but he went to the wall and looked up and down the owls.

Sophie took Mary to look at the snowy owl, "Elise was bought by my parents when I went to Hogwarts," she chattered, "They didn't let me pick it myself, I now It was decided that I would buy such a snowy owl as soon as Ellis unfortunately dies, and what a beautiful coat he is."

Mary knew she couldn't afford the animal, so she might as well spend her time with the other owls, and she glanced at the price tags on the cages, some of which cost less than five Galleons alone, which put her at ease. Take a breath.

Phipps Knight called the clerk to catch an owl from the "swarm" cage, and Mary watched him cast an unknown magic, and the owl landed on his wand.

"Miss Bennet, come and see this one," he said, approaching with his wand raised.

This one shouldn't be very expensive.When Phipps Knight moved into the slightly lighted place by the counter, Mary saw at once that it was different.

Sophie laughed too, "Are you sure this owl isn't an Animagus?"

From around its large round eyes to its wings and back, there are many dark purple spots. "This color is not common in owls," said Phippus Knight. basic red."

"Oh, I don't like the color," said Sophie, "and Mary wants an owl with a message."

On the issue of choosing an owl, Mary still hoped to be able to rely on Phipps Knight, so she asked him seriously, "Mr. Knight, what do you think of this owl?"
