As soon as the Windermeres had gone home, Phipbus Knight did take his leave of them.The horse-shaped water monster became his excuse, and he declared that he must go to Scotland tonight.

"Oh, I do wish the monster was smaller," said Mr. Windermere. "Phoebe, if it fits my lake, you must do something to bring me back."

Mrs. Windermere repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety.Phipps Knight said goodbye to Vincent quickly, waved to Sophie and Mary, and rode away on his own flying horse.

After breakfast the next day, Sophie and Mary set off back to Hogwarts. They still rode in the same carriage, and Vincent was in charge of accompanying them. They landed on the lawn before noon.

"Oh, that's great!" Sophie yelled as she got out of the car, "It's just too overwhelming to think we'll only be here for one more year."

It may have been just a normal year for Sophie, but Mary had realized she was bound to be busy.It just occurred to her that Phipps Knight didn't mention her looking for a job again. Could it be that he is willing to accept a working wife?Of course, there is another possibility, he may not have considered this point, so it seems necessary to confirm again.

While Mary was in a daze, Vincent had already answered his sister, "Believe me, Sophie, after you graduate, you definitely don't want to come back, just like I am now."

The house elves from Hogwarts came up to help them remove the box. After Vincent said goodbye to them briefly, he boarded the carriage and returned.Sophie and Mary hurried back to Gryffindor Tower, they needed to pack up before going to lunch.

As soon as she opened her suitcase, Sophie complained again. "It's such a hassle without house-elves," she said. "Every time I come back from vacation, I find it a pain to pack my things."

"So you complain once a year," Mary replied with a smile, "Actually, I think you're used to it."

At this time, the hooting of owls came from the window sill, and Sophie's Elis and Mary's Phoenicia seemed to have just arrived.

"Oh, go to the Owl Tower," Sophie waved impatiently.

"Wait," Mary has always treated Phoenician quite preferentially. She hurriedly took out the dried owl meat she bought from her box, and Phoenician waited obediently on the window sill. Mary handed the dried meat to In front of it, it pecked slowly.

Ellis didn't fly away either, and Mary also put some dried meat in front of it, and the little owl didn't even look at its owner any more, and started eating.

Mary took out her owl bowl again, poured some water, and said to Phenicia, "Please come to me tonight, there is a letter to be delivered."

"Who are you writing to?" Sophie suddenly approached, "Phibos Knight?"

"It's for my sister," answered Mary hastily, loudly.

"That's right." Sophie deliberately showed a very experienced look, "You have to wait for him to write to you on his own initiative."

In fact, if Mary were asked to write a letter to Phippus Knight now, she would not know where to begin.But one of her motivations for buying the owl was to connect with her family, which she clearly planned for after graduation.

Mary had planned to spend the afternoon writing the letter, but after lunch, Sophie suggested a visit to Hogsmeade.

This suggestion was unanimously endorsed by several seventh and sixth year girls around the Gryffindor table, so Mary must also participate in it.In fact, the group had no purpose at all. Apart from buying a few insignificant things, they just drank some fruit wine at the Pig's Head Bar, tasted grilled cheese sprinkled with icing sugar, and chatted about various anecdotes during the summer vacation.

The biggest happy news is that Anne Palmer, who lives in the dormitory next door to Sophie and Mary, has accepted the marriage proposal of William Douglas, the senior who graduated from Gryffindor College last year. Everyone congratulated her, and everyone called her "" Mrs. Douglas".

"I plan to get married as soon as I graduate," Miss Palmer said generously. "William's little brother Henry will attend the sorting ceremony tomorrow night, and the whole family hopes that he can also be sorted into Gryffindor."

"Our hope of solving the big marriage problem at school is getting slimmer," sighed another sixth-form girl with a sad face, and she immediately thought of Miss Windermere. "Dear Sophie, you and Vic How is it now?"

"I don't like Victor at all," Sophie emphasized loudly. "Don't put me with him."

"Sophie, just admit it," the lady didn't give up, and the other ladies also joked, "Sophie, we won't tell Victor."

Sophie was obviously in a hurry, so Mary stopped the lady, "Teess, when you meet Victor, please ask him for us," she smiled, "We also want to know about Victor. What does this fellow Do Hastings think?"

The ladies here all understand that marriage must be initiated by men. Now that Mary has said that, they are too embarrassed to continue, so Anne Palmer changed the topic smoothly and began to talk about this year's freshmen.

After dinner, the Gryffindor common room was still very lively, but Sophie and Mary went straight back to the dormitory. Sophie was reading the newly bought Potions textbook while Mary started writing letters.

She had already figured out who to send letters to. Although Mr. Bennet did not reject letters from owls, Mary knew that he had always disliked correspondence with others. As for her mother, Mary felt that she could not imagine the Phoenician Dance The scene where Mrs. Bennet stretched out her leg and wanted to send her a letter.

Then, this letter can only be written to Jane. Mary mainly introduces Phoenicia in the letter. Through this owl that belongs to her, she can keep in touch with her family. She tells Jane how to tie the letter to the owl's leg and asked her to get some water and refreshments to refuel it—Mary had reason to believe her eldest sister would, and she promised to teach Phoenician to send letters only after dusk, lest Get the attention of outsiders.

Finally, Mary briefly mentioned that her visit to Windermere's house was over and she had returned to school. Objectively speaking, she felt that her family would not care about these things. As for what her mother and sisters cared about, Mary felt that she did not What can be written in a letter.

More instructions were addressed to Phoenicia, and Mary felt that she had been able to communicate with the owl, so she let it know that the recipient was her sister, who was a Muggle, and that this was the first time she had received a message from an owl. The letter was delivered, so Phoenician had to find the right opportunity for her to see the leg with the letter bound.

"My sister is very gentle and kind," said Mary, as she tied the letter to Phenicia's leg. "She knows that we wizards send letters by owls, so you just don't want to frighten her by appearing suddenly."

The sun had just set at this time, and Mary really hoped that the letter would be delivered to Longbourn this evening, but she had no idea of ​​the speed of the owl's delivery, so she could only wait patiently for the reply.

Facts have proved that Phoenician is indeed a good owl. When Mary came out of the bathroom the next morning, she saw it standing on the windowsill again, carrying a thick letter.

Mary was first surprised that Jane wrote such a long letter overnight, and then she found that there were two letters in the envelope, and the other one was from Elizabeth.

Jane's letter was very simple, and there was nothing new at home these days, so this strange-colored owl brought her a great surprise. According to her description, Phoenician behaved very well-behaved, and it seemed to be able to hear It understands human language. When she wrote the letter, it stood on the big tree outside the window.

"Lisa and I discussed some issues the other day, and I have to admit that this matter is very important," Jane told Mary at the end of her letter, and her second sister wrote her another letter.

Mary opened Elizabeth's letter with a hint of anxiety. The letter was not too long, and Elizabeth just asked a question.

If Mary really wants to use a fake death to break away from the Muggle family that gave birth to her, as she said, then even if Mr. Bennet is called by God to die one day, she will still not be able to get what belongs to her. That thousand pounds at four per cent, because she was "dead".

Or maybe only Elizabeth could think so deeply. Mary was stunned holding the letter. Of course, she had thought about how to get rid of her Muggle family, but she really didn't think about the money. For a young witch who was about to support herself, Any possible income should be taken into consideration.

Sophie finished putting on her coat, but seeing Mary still holding the letter in a daze, she inevitably asked about it.

Mary then told Sophie.Elizabeth was quite right, and Mary needed the money even more than her sisters.

"How much is one thousand pounds? Is it two hundred Galleons?" Sophie was a little fussy, "This is not a small amount."

"My dear Sophie, the annual income is only forty pounds, or eight galleons," answered Mary.

Sophie thought about it seriously, "Mary, if you don't buy clothes, eight Galleons are enough for you to live for three or four months, right?"

"It can even be a little longer," Mary laughed. "You know, I can survive in the Muggle world, so I can use the forty pounds to buy food and daily necessities in Muggle shops, which can almost support me." Half a year."

"Good idea," praised Sophie, "so you've got to get the money."

"My sisters and I will only get this money under two circumstances," sighed Mary, "if my father dies, and if we get married, which is the only possible way for a Muggle woman to leave her family... ..."

"Oh...that's not right," before Sophie could react, Mary hurriedly corrected herself, "Muggle women can also become nuns, and they usually donate a little of their property to the monastery."

"Nun? What's that?"

There is no word for nun in the wizarding world, so Mary briefly explained it to Sophie.

"Then let's fake a situation where you become a nun," Sophie immediately came up with an idea, "I will try to call as many people as possible to help you, Vincent, me, and the Knight brothers, if not Then call Victor, Mom and Dad, let's go to your house and cast a large confusion spell, we should be able to get away with it, right?"

Maybe this method is feasible, but Mary still shook her head, "Isn't this too troublesome?"

"What's the matter," Sophie laughed, "Oh, I almost forgot, you have a better way. Anyway, Phipps Knight is good at pretending to be a Muggle, so let him pretend to be a serious one." Muggle young man, marry you, and you will get the money automatically."

This method seemed worse. After thinking about it, Mary decided to put this issue aside. After all, there was still a year before graduation, and she had plenty of time to think about this issue.
