Chapter 23 023 comfort

The Gryffindor common room was still noisy, but when Mary entered after Dean McNabbs, the noise disappeared in an instant.

"Miss Bennet, go back and rest first," the dean ordered.

Mary hung her head, she really didn't know how to face her classmates, but at this time, Sophie had already stood up from the crowd, "Mary, what's wrong with you?"

This seemed to be the first time since she entered Hogwarts that she ignored Sophie. Mary turned directly and went up the spiral staircase leading to the girls' dormitory. She waited until she walked into the corridor of the dormitory before she heard Dean McNabbs He spoke again.

Sophie returned after only a short while. "Oh, poor Mary," she cried, sitting down beside Mary, in a voice full of mourning. Guys never liked us Gryffindors, so maybe it's a good thing you don't work for them."

"Oh, it's nothing," Mary said softly. "Anyway, even if I go to Gringotts to participate in the inspection, it is unlikely that I will be selected..."

Although she said that, she could no longer restrain the grievance in her heart. Before she finished speaking, her nose was sore, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Sophie caught her crying right away, and she fluttered, "Oh, Mary, come on, there are plenty of other job opportunities."

Mary burst into tears, and her mind was in a mess. One moment she felt sorry for the time she wasted on this horrible exam, and the next moment she worried that she would not be able to handle the St. Mungo's Hospital exam. Not coming to recruit... Then is she really going to marry Phipps Knight after graduation?She still doesn't know how to write to him about the exam.

Sophie happened to be thinking about the same thing as her, "You haven't written a letter to Phipps Knight, have you?" She asked, "I'll write to him now, and ask him to come over quickly and take you out for a walk, You'll feel better."

"Don't mess around," said Mary hastily.

But Sophie had already stood up and walked to the desk. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of their dormitory again.

Sophie went to answer the door, and it was a third-grade girl who knocked. She handed Sophie a small box, saying that Professor Essolen asked her to bring it here.

Mary didn't want to hear anything about the professor, but Sophie immediately opened the locket and read her the note inside.

"I thought your friend Miss Bennet might be in need of a sedative," wrote the professor, "and I made her one, with added sleep-promoting ingredients."

"Oh, this is exactly what you need," Sophie shook the small bottle in her hand, "Mary, the potion that Professor Esolen prepared has the best effect."

Mary began to hate Professor Esolen, and she didn't want to drink any potion, but given Sophie's obsession with the professor, it seemed that she would definitely want to drink it today.

"Drink, Mary," Sophie's persuasion almost turned into temptation, "Take a rest and sleep, and you will forget all your troubles."

Mary briefly chose between writing to Phippus Knight and sleeping, her mind leaning towards the latter, so she took the potion and drank it down.

As a result, the letter to Phipps Knight was not sent until noon the next day. Mary wrote very simply, but still scribbled and corrected several places.When it was time for dinner, Phoenician returned with a parcel.

Mary really wanted to take the package back to the dormitory, but Sophie repeatedly asked her to open it immediately, causing the girls around to look at them with interest.

"What is it, Mary? Let's enjoy it too," called Miss Palmer across the table.

Mary herself was actually curious, because she had already realized that the package had some weight, and, in this cold winter, it should be impossible to send flowers.

Then the package was opened, and the girls at this end of the Gryffindor table unanimously let out exclamations of wonder. Mary was holding a gray and white fox fur in her hand.

"Unfortunately it's not all white," whispered a sixth-grade girl.

But Mary was already very satisfied. This was processed from a whole fox, with small holes for eyes on the head, and a big fluffy and soft tail, a full foot and a half long.

Sophie stood up and, like a loving grandmother, wrapped the fox fur around Mary's neck and gestured, "Oh, great," she said, "we need another pin, why didn't Phibs Knight put the pin together?" Send it over?"

Mary's face was flushed, she grabbed the fox fur from Sophie's hand in a panic, stuffed it back into the package, drank the thick soup in the bowl in a hurry, and fled the dining table without even saying goodbye to everyone.

When she returned to the dormitory, she took out the letter from the package. Phibs Knight said that he had originally planned to give her this fox fur as a New Year's gift, and now he hoped that she could feel the letter from him. some consolation.

"I've heard that work at Gringotts is very hard work," he wrote, "so now I don't want my wife to do such hard work at all, Mary, even if you are going to work, you should find a job." Lighter ones, not one of those crappy jobs that take pleasure in torturing people from the start."

In the end, he said that he would finish what he was doing as soon as possible, and he would come to see her when Hogwarts had winter vacation in a few days. If she wanted, they could also ride Pegasus and go somewhere else. visit.

Mary's mood suddenly improved. Phipps Knight always cared about her. If this caring can continue, then marrying him seems to be a very normal thing.

At this time, Sophie walked into the dormitory slowly. She looked at Mary, "Dear Mary, did Phibos Knight propose to you with such a fox?"

"Sophie, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mary hurriedly put the letter away.

"Mary, go and look in the mirror." Sophie raised her eyebrows, "Look at your shy smile."

Mary smiled again, "Sophie, Phippus Knight is coming to see me during the winter vacation."

"Great," Sophie also laughed. "He finally knows that he should propose in person." She stretched herself again, "In this way, I can finally go home for the winter vacation with peace of mind."

"Are you going home?" Mary asked knowingly, "Aren't you going to follow Professor Esolen?"

Sophie sighed, "If I don't go home, Mom and Dad will be suspicious," she said with a joyful smile, "I'll write to Professor Esolen."

The winter vacation at Hogwarts is around the New Year, and there are a total of twelve days. It seems that Sophie can't bear even such a short separation.

As for Mary, she had begun to wait patiently, and spent the New Year in this waiting, until the third day of the new year, and there was still no news of Phippus Knight.

On the first day of the new year, Mary once thought of writing him a letter, but he must not be the one who breaks his promise, so he must have been caught by something. She felt that if she wrote a letter, she might be misunderstood by him. I thought it was a kind of mistrust, so I put down my pen and continued to wait patiently.

There were only a dozen students staying at school for the winter vacation, and the long Gryffindor table was empty. Mary was sitting at a corner of the table eating lunch when she heard someone calling her.

It was a man, but it didn't sound like Phippus Knight. Mary turned her face away, only to find that Buddle Knight was standing aside and looking at her with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Knight," Mary stood up hastily, "how could it be you?"

"I'm visiting Hogwarts. A shareholder of your school is planning to sell his shares in the school. Let me see if I want to take over," Buddle Knight said enthusiastically, "Miss Bennet, I've been in for a while, but you haven't seen me."

Mary buried her head in her meal, but her mind was still thinking about Phipps Knight, how could she pay attention to other people in the hall, so she could only reluctantly falter.

"I'm still wondering if I should get someone to call you in the dorm," said Buddle Knight, sitting down at the long Gryffindor table. Say I want a cup of black tea, will it give me?"

A cup of black tea immediately appeared in the center of the table. Buddle Knight took a sip of the tea before knocking on the table, "Miss Bennet, please sit down, please forgive me for interrupting your lunch."

"It's all made by house elves," Mary said with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Knight."

"I am also very happy, Miss Bennet." Buddell Knight put down his teacup, "because I really want to hear from you about my brother. Normally, he would not write to me."

Mary blushed completely, only to hear Bader Knight say again, "I still received a letter from him when we all left Stillwater Manor, so I would like to welcome you to be a member of our family. member."

"Mr. Knight," Mary had to bite the bullet and explained, "There is no agreement between me and Brother Ling."

"It's nothing, anyway, you still have half a year to graduate," Buddell Knight replied unhurriedly, "I sent Gigi to clean up the family's Griffin cottage in Surrey last month, and I Remember you have been intending to get a job in London, so I am going to give him the house."

When it came to work, Mary felt a little discouraged, she shook her head silently, and didn't plan to answer him again.

Buddell Knight asked again, "Miss Bennet, have you seen my brother recently?"

"Oh, no," now that Baldr Knight has shown his kindness, Mary can't be too reserved, and, maybe he can provide her with more information about Phibos, so Mary Added, "The last time Brother Ling wrote to me, he said that he might come over during the winter vacation."

"Oh, when you see him, say hello to him," Buddur Knight quickly replied, "But Phoebes has never had a sense of time, so don't worry too much about him."

Mary nodded. There were not a few days left for the holiday, and she was actually in a hurry.

Buddell Knight had already finished his cup of tea, he put down his teacup and looked around, "Oh, the person who accompanied me on the tour actually walked away first, that's too bad, Miss Bennet, where is your principal's office ?”

Mary didn't plan to continue her lunch either, "Are you going to the principal's office?" She smiled, "I'll take you there."

Buddur Knight praised the interior of the castle, and on the stairs they unexpectedly met Professor Ethelon.

The two gentlemen greeted each other politely and distantly.It wasn't until they had gone up another floor that Baldur Knight asked Mary what Ruger Mac Ethelen was doing at Hogwarts.

After Mary answered, he frowned and muttered, "How did Hogwarts recruit him?"

Mary was a little surprised, and wanted to ask further, but Bader Knight didn't seem to want to say more, so Mary thought it would be good to leave this question to Phipps Knight.
