Mary was only going to stay at home for three or four days, and obviously there was no need to inform all her friends of the news of her return, but she forgot that owls take it as their duty to deliver letters. Special orders, they don't care where the recipient is.

This caused great trouble to Mary. This strange owl rushed straight into the open window of Mr. Bennet's study. Perhaps it found itself in the Muggle world. It seemed extremely disturbed and couldn't wait to throw the letter away. To Mary, she flapped her wings and flew away.

Mary was talking about her work with her father. Before the owl came, probably because it was rare for his wife to come into the study, Mr. Bennet remained quite calm, even though Mary had told her parents that she had found a jobs.

Because of this, Mr. Bennet asked his wife to come and listen, and tolerated Mrs. Bennet’s fuss to a great extent. However, when the owl flew in, Mrs. Bennet still let out a terrifying sound. scream.

"Oh, ma'am, calm down, calm down," said Mr. Bennet, looking very impatient. "It's just that Mary has a letter."

Mary grabbed the letter and hurriedly comforted her mother. Mr. Bennet took a breath and turned to reprimand Mary.

"It's a good thing your sisters are not here, otherwise we wouldn't know what happened," he complained unceremoniously, "Mary, can you tell me what happened to this owl? No owl has ever flown to us Come home!"

"I'm sorry, Dad," Mary could only humbly. She had already seen the signature on the envelope, and it was Charlie Dawn. This made her worried, wondering if something happened to St. Mungo's.

Mr. Bennet fell silent, but Mrs. Bennet was still moaning. "What kind of letter is this?"

"Of course not," Mary hurriedly explained, "The person who wrote the letter is my instructor in the hospital."

"Who is the instructor?" asked Mr. Bennet suddenly.

"He was assigned by the hospital to guide me through my job," Mary replied.

Mr. Bennet fell silent again. Of course, this may be because Mrs. Bennet has been extremely sensitive to discover that Mary used the pronoun "he".

"Oh, Mary, it's a man," she asked aloud. "Is he married? How old is he?"

Mary regretted that she had said something wrong, but when it came to this, she could only briefly introduce Mr. Dawn. In order to dispel her mother's meaningless fantasy, she deliberately emphasized that Mr. Dawn still had parents who needed help. .

"Oh, his family may not be very rich..." Mrs. Bennet seemed to think about it seriously, "By the way, Mary, is the salary in your hospital high? You haven't told me how much you earn a year money."

Their conversation had only just begun.Mary has been informed that as a trainee therapist, her annual salary is 96 Galleons in the first year, eight Galleons per month, and the same in the second year. If the work is good, she can be promoted to an assistant in the third year. For therapists, their monthly salary has been increased to fifteen Galleons.

Mary didn't have to go into so much detail with her mother, she even said a little less, "Mother, my salary is four hundred pounds a year."

"Oh, so much!" exclaimed Mrs. Bennet from the bottom of her heart.

"Oh, Mary, you are a rich man," Mr. Bennet also said slowly, "but I think I'll continue to give you a hundred pounds of pocket money every year."

"Thank you, Daddy," Mary smiled.

"Five hundred pounds a year!" repeated Mrs. Bennet. "Oh, that's a lot."

Mary felt she had to explain, "Mom, the wizarding world does not exclude women from working, so women's wages are only slightly lower than men's. For example, in my position, men earn ten pounds more than me every month. "

"Oh, it was only a little over five hundred pounds that year," Mrs. Bennet sighed, "it's really not much for gentlemen, but..." She suddenly showed a longing smile, "If If the five daughters are all witches, wouldn't they all earn a lot of dowry for themselves?"

"Oh, believe me, ma'am," Mr. Bennet said seriously, "you must have been driven mad by these little witches before they earned their dowry."

Mrs. Bennet seemed to be still immersed in her own joy. She completely ignored her husband's taunt and just looked at her daughter, "Oh, Mary, I will allow you to work for two years so that you will earn a thousand more than your sisters." Pound dowry, we can say it was left to you by that Liverpool cousin, and then you can go home and find a good family to marry."

Mrs. Bennet laughed as she talked, and seemed very pleased with her "intelligence," and as for Mary, she didn't care what she had to say as long as her mother didn't object to her going to work.

But Mr. Bennet seemed to have run out of patience. He turned to look at his daughter, "Mary, didn't you just say that there is still a graduation ceremony?"

"Yes," Mary quickly replied, "Each of our students can invite two relatives and friends, and the graduation ceremony will be held near the village of ordinary people and the village of wizards, so that it is convenient for ordinary people to attend the graduation ceremony."

"I don't want to deal with wizards. The gentleman who came to persuade me to send you to school, I don't like her at all." Mr. Bennet shook his head, "Mary, please forgive me, I Can't go to your graduation ceremony."

"It's nothing, Daddy," Mary had already prepared herself, and she was waiting for her mother to reject her too.

"Your mother can't go either," her father said again, "I remember she hasn't traveled far for more than ten years, let alone face those wizards."

"Yes, Mr. Bennet, you are right," Mrs. Bennet nodded hastily.

Mary was still disappointed, but her father added, "I remember that Kitty and Lydia were away, but Jane and Lisa were at home, you call them over and ask, maybe the young people will What about curious ideas?"

This was Mary's last hope, and she hastened to fetch her sisters.

After listening to Mary's introduction, both Jane and Elizabeth were silent, but after only a few minutes, Miss Bennet said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I think the graduation ceremony is very important to Mary, and I would like to attend .”

Mary was very happy. She thanked her and wanted to go up and hug her sister. At this moment, Elizabeth suddenly asked, "Mary, if we don't go, can you invite other wizard friends?"

"There's no one else," Mary whispered back.

"Then let's go with Jane." Elizabeth came over and patted Mary on the shoulder. "Don't worry, although Dad said wizards are terrible, we will definitely not embarrass you."

"That's right," Jane smiled softly, "I think those wizards are also human beings, and they also speak English, so let's just treat them as ordinary people like us."

Mary was very satisfied, she and her two sisters hugged, and then heard Mr. Bennet ordering from the side, "Okay, you have taken up too much of my time this afternoon, now the three of you You can go to the piano room or somewhere else to discuss how to participate in this ceremony, and let me be alone for a while."

The daughters all knew their father's temper, so they left the study lightly one by one. The three of them went to Mary's room. She told her sisters that she would report to the school first, and when she had a specific itinerary, Notify them again.

After the sisters chatted for a while, Miss Bennet worriedly asked Mary if she had found a job.

Mary just said it lightly, and didn't tell them her income, but she smiled, "Let me pay all the expenses for you to attend my graduation ceremony this time, anyway, I will have it soon. income."

The two sisters both expressed their refusal, and Mary persisted for a while, so they did not continue to refuse.

It was not until the evening that Mary had time to read Charlie Down's letter, which was about a very important matter--about Mary's accommodation after work.

He said that during their brief meeting last time, he forgot to tell Mary that St. Mungo's Hospital arranged some dormitories for the staff. Although the living conditions of these dormitories are limited, the rent is cheap. Gold gallons, and there are house elves to help clean, so they are often still very popular with the employees, and the supply has always been in short supply.

Charlie Down just heard that a female therapist who used to live in the dormitory was about to get married, and her dormitory would be vacant. He persuaded Mary, if she decided to live in the dormitory, considering that it was the only one The vacant dormitory for female employees should be booked now.He wanted her to tell him as soon as she made a decision, and she volunteered to book the dorm for her.

Mary decided to live in a dormitory almost immediately. Although there are many wizards who rely on apparation to commute, Mary can already imagine that Mrs. Bennet will not like her doing so, and living at home must be more difficult than she imagined. It's still not free.

She wrote back to Charlie Dawn all night, and then she found herself in another trouble.

Since Mary was not going to write a letter at home at all, Phoenician was still left in the owl tower at Hogwarts by her. Now, with the letter in her hand, she didn't know how to send it.

Fortunately, Mary knew the wizarding village closest to her home. She used to take the magic coach to Hogwarts from there, so she made a special trip the next day and mailed the letter at the owl post office in that village. .
