Before going to bed that night, Mary opened the window of her bedroom. Early the next morning, the clever little owl Elis really got in and pecked her awake.

The note had been written the night before, placed beside her pillow, and when it arrived at Ellis' feet, she cooed twice and flew away quickly.

The sun had just risen. At this time, the servants hadn't gotten up yet, but Mary was already awake. She jumped out of bed, checked her suitcase carefully, thought about it, and picked out a pair of old shag socks and threw them back into the cabinet inside.

The day was a pure test of Mary's patience, and she waited until Mr. Bennet was up and had breakfast before going to him.

As soon as she entered, Mr. Bennet asked, "Have you got in touch with the Windermere family?"

"I've already written," answered Mary hastily.

"Do you have to wait for their family to pick you up?" Mr. Bennet asked.

"I don't know the exact location of Windermere's house," Mary explained, "I took their carriage last time, and many wizards choose to hide their homes."

"Be careful yourself," Mr. Bennet frowned and looked at his daughter before asking again, "So, Mary, do you have the ability to protect yourself now?"

"I've already learned some defensive skills," Mary said with a relaxed expression as much as possible, "so, Dad, please don't worry."

Mr. Bennet finally picked up the wallet he put on the corner of the table, took out a few banknotes, and handed them to Mary, "Pack it up, if you don't have enough, you can just write to me."

Then he smiled, "I don't mind getting a letter from an owl."

"Oh, Dad," Mary followed her father to continue the not-so-funny joke, "I haven't told you yet, there are some public owls at Hogwarts that students can use as they please they."

"Very well," replied Mr. Bennet, "and let me know when you have fixed your departure."

Mary went back to her room, and there was another note from Sophie just before noon.

This time it was replaced by a tall and mighty owl. It must be because Ellis could not bear the two long-distance trips. Sophie told Mary not to reply. The Windermere family's carriage will try to reach Longbourne before sunset.

Mary immediately went to report the incident to her parents. Mr. Bennet just nodded, and it seemed that he was too lazy to express his opinion, but Mrs. Bennet hesitated for a long time before asking her daughter, "Would you like to receive her at our home?" Are they?"

"Of course not," Mary replied without thinking, "because there will be no guests. The Windermere family's carriage is pulled by magical creatures, and they know their way."

"Fantastic creatures?" repeated Mrs. Bennet, terrified.

"Mom, don't worry." Mary decided to comfort her mother in the most concise way. "The school has taught magical creatures. I know how to get along with these animals."

"What are they...?" Mrs. Bennet's voice was still trembling.

"It looks like an ordinary horse," Mary replied. "The Windermere family is not a big noble family in the wizarding world. The half-breed Iseron Pegasus they drive is just a low-level magical creature."

Mrs. Bennet still didn't seem to be relieved. She glanced at her husband, but Mr. Bennet was still indifferent, so she hesitated again, and said slowly, "You can do whatever you want, Mary, I don't care."

Mary said goodbye to her mother in a light and cheerful tone, and then went to have a few words with her sisters.

Both Jane and Elizabeth were in the piano room. When they heard that Mary was leaving home again, Miss Bennet immediately told her sister that she was leaving home alone and must take care of herself.

And Elizabeth glanced at Mary, then at Jane, and then asked hesitantly, "Mary, after you graduate next year, won't you go home?"

"Lisa!" Jane seemed to stop Elizabeth, and Mary knew that her two sisters were very close, so she must have discussed it with Jane before Elizabeth articulated her doubts to her.

"Yes," Mary admitted generously. She had said a lot about the wizarding world at home, and a caring person like Elizabeth should have noticed.

"Mary!" In this way, Miss Bennet showed a helpless expression to both sisters at the same time, "If you don't go home, where else can you go?"

"She'll go to work," Elizabeth replied calmly, "and find a wizard to marry."

"Mary..." Jane just stared at her, "Are you really going to marry a wizard?"

Elizabeth had indeed guessed at Mary's plan, and thought it over, that if she could reveal a little to her sisters, they might help her persuade her parents.

So she smiled, "I'm used to using magic, so I really don't want to live in a world without magic for a long time."

But Mary's prediction was still biased, Elizabeth pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "We can understand your thoughts, but, Mary, I still hope you can think about it, if you find a wizard husband, How will we introduce their brother-in-law to our future husband?"

Mary knew that finding a suitable husband was almost the purpose of life for her sisters, and it was hard for her to say that she would not think of them.

The silence meant that she was really thinking seriously, and Jane didn't speak anymore, which showed that she was also worried about this issue.

Fortunately, Mary quickly gave a solution, "I will try my best to find a reasonable husband," she replied to her sister with the same serious tone, "If I can't find one, then I will try to create some false appearances so that Everyone we knew thought I had died of an illness."

"No...don't be like this...Mary," Jane murmured shaking her head, but Elizabeth just looked at her sister, "Mary, can you really do that?"

"Many wizards born in ordinary families," Mary never used the word Muggle at home, "they all used similar methods to escape from the world of ordinary people. There are books in our library that record this in detail."

She said emphatically, "I'm sure I'm capable of that."

There was another short silence, and Jane finally said seriously, "I don't want that to happen."

"Neither do I," said Elizabeth.

Mary just smiled, "It's meaningless to say anything before things get to that point."

She said goodbye to her two sisters briskly, and then went back to her room.Halfway there, I suddenly sighed. Even a smart person like Elizabeth never imagined that the biggest difficulty for Mary was not to marry anyone, but to find a job.

That's because they don't have any working women around them, not even a governess. However, Mary has always felt that as long as she can find a suitable job and be able to support herself, it doesn't matter whether she marries or not. It doesn't matter.

The Windermere family's carriage arrived a few hours earlier than scheduled, Mary hadn't even had dinner yet, and what surprised her even more was that there was a young man in servant's clothes sitting on the shaft of the carriage.

If it weren't for the coat of arms of the Windermere family on the carriage door, Mary would almost have thought that the carriage had gone wrong. Even so, she walked cautiously to the side of the carriage and looked at the young man seriously.

The man raised his hat, showing a rather handsome face, "Hello, I'm Phoebe Snett, excuse me, are you Miss Mary Bennet?"

"Hello, Mr. Knight." Mary nodded. She seemed to have seen this man at Hogwarts. He was already a senior student when she was in school.

"I pretended to be the coachman of the Windermere family to pick you up," Phoebe Snight explained in a low voice, "The Windermere family and I think that since we are going to pick you up in the Muggle world, we must Need a charioteer to pretend."

Mary immediately thanked her, "Mr. Knight, you are so kind."

"You're welcome," Phoebe Snett looked very excited, "Do I need to visit your parents?"

How awkward this sounds, Mary has heard from Sophie and her mother and sisters that no matter in the wizarding world or the Muggle world, only when a man proposes to a lady successfully , he will ask to see the young lady's parents.

This kind of thought caused Mary to turn red, and she quickly lowered her head, "I don't think it's necessary, Mr. Knight, because you're playing the role of a coachman, so please wait a moment, I'll get my suitcase."

"Miss Bennet," said Phoebe Snight, jumping off the shaft, "I suppose I should help you with your suitcase?"

"It's really unnecessary," Mary said hastily, "please just wait here, I'll come when I go."

Mary returned to the house and hurried upstairs when she heard Lydia screaming.

"God, he saw me," she said loudly enough for the whole family to hear.

"What's going on?" Mary became more anxious, and she also raised her voice.

"Lydia was peeping at the coachman from the window," Kitty replied, and then asked, "Mary, is this family aristocratic? There is such a handsome coachman."

"No!" Mary replied angrily, she decided to ignore her sisters, rushed back to her room, took out the box, and handed it to the maid Ruth who rushed over.

Mrs. Bennet was standing at the door of the dressing room, and Mary went to say good-bye to her.

"I wish the year was over soon," murmured the mother as she hugged her daughter.

And Mr. Bennet was already standing on the stairs. He looked at his daughter carefully before saying loudly, "Well, Mary, good luck to you."

Both Jane and Elizabeth came over and hugged Mary, and Elizabeth asked seriously, "Is that coachman reliable?"

"I know him," Mary replied firmly.

So she's finally leaving home to go back to the wizarding world.It occurred to Mary that from now on, she might not really live at home for such a long time.
