witch mary bennet

Mary seldom mentioned anything about the wizarding world at home. Although this was what her father had always expected, it also directly caused her sisters to lack the necessary psychological preparation for the wizarding world in front of them.

As soon as the five ladies of the Bennet family walked to one end of Diagon Alley, Jane and Elizabeth were stunned by the sudden apparition of several wizards. Objectively speaking, Kitty and Lydia’s reactions were better. , the two of them screamed in unison, which shocked the wizards a lot. They looked at the two good-looking ladies with puzzled eyes, and probably confirmed that they were not really affected by it. Excited, he hesitated and walked away.

Kitty poked Mary's back, "Mary, will you suddenly appear like this?"

Mary was rejoicing that the two of them hadn't done anything more outrageous, and hurriedly replied, "Of course."

"Then give us a show," Lydia yelled afterward.

Before Mary could answer, Jane suddenly asked, "Mary, didn't Auntie ask us to buy some more candies like yesterday's? Take us to that store."

Then Mary must have left Lydia behind, but while the sisters were walking, she seized the time to tell Kitty and Lydia, "There are many bad-tempered wizards. Don't yell or laugh at others casually anymore, if someone casts a spell on you, my level is limited, and I can't save you."

Kitty and Lydia giggled, but then they did behave a little better.

Generally speaking, there are not many customers in the candy store in the morning, so the five ladies who came in together got enough attention. Elizabeth was soon separated from the sisters. She carefully looked at the signs of each candy, but she was also cautious. Keep your fingers from touching them.

"Buy the one you brought yesterday first," Miss Bennet said to Mary, "I'll help you."

"Oh, I'll pay the bill together when you all buy it," Mary had already introduced the currency of the wizarding world to her sister last night, and she told Jane that after everyone had bought things today, she would settle the bill with Mr. Bennet The one hundred pounds that was given.

As for Kitty and Lydia, Mary also clearly told them that their money cannot be used in the wizard's shop, so both of them followed Mary quite peacefully.

"Mary, can I buy this?" Lydia finally said, pointing to a lollipop with a few feathers stuck on it.

The clerk who had been standing by the side obviously also saw the opportunity, and he rushed over sensitively, "Miss, this lollipop is pepper-flavored, and it will make smoke come out of your mouth when you eat it."

"What?" Lydia looked as if she had stepped on a dead mouse.

Now it was Mary's turn to laugh. She had heard of the lollipop, but hadn't tried it.

The clerk repeated it again, and Lydia shrank behind Mary in an instant, muttering that she didn't want it anymore.

Kitty was always more flexible than Lydia. She went up to the clerk and asked the clerk to recommend some sweet ones with good shape and not too pungent taste.She pulled Lydia to follow the clerk, and they held everything the clerk said, and soon, the two of them grabbed more than a dozen small packages with four hands.

Miss Bennet couldn't help but stop her, but Lydia said plausibly, "The two of us don't need to eat so much, but we still have to share it with the three of you!"

Kitty laughed, "We still have some for my uncle's children."

Mary also smiled as if nothing had happened, "Hurry up," she looked at the two younger sisters, "There are still several clothing stores ahead."

Clothes are obviously more attractive than candies, so Lydia immediately ran over and stuffed all the candies in her hands, "Mary, hurry up and pay, and then take us to the clothes shop."

Naturally, Mary still walked slowly. She looked at the two sisters, "Jane, Lisa, what do you want to buy?"

Jane shook her head, and Elizabeth pointed to Mary's hand, "Lydia said she already bought it for us."

All the sweets went to Mary, 1 Galleon, 16 Sickles, 20 Nats, and she was very happy, because when she piled up the 37 coins on the cash register, she found that both sisters were a little hesitant.

"We don't buy a lot, Mary?" Lydia asked aloud.

Mary was instructing the clerk to pack the sweets, so she pretended not to hear this.All the candies were packed into two big bags, Jane carried one bag by herself, and she handed the other bag directly to Elizabeth.

Mary led her sisters to the clothing store slowly. When passing by Lihen Bookstore, Miss Bennet stopped. She looked around and asked with some uncertainty, "Mary, is this a bookstore?"

"Yes," Mary immediately took the lead and walked in, "Let's go in and have a look."

Kitty and Lydia objected together, and Mary suggested that the two sisters hand them the candy bags and let them wait in the shade, which was obviously more difficult for them to accept than going into the bookstore.

"Then you have to take candies too," Mary said bluntly, "Jane and Lisa want to buy books."

The two of them took the sugar bag with a murmur, and Mary looked at it casually. She felt that she should also buy a few books about healing spells. Even if it wasn't for work, it would be good to kill time.

Mary had a target, and quickly found the book she needed, and then she found that Jane and Elizabeth stopped by the bookcase of the picture album. She leaned over and saw them looking at an animal atlas together.

"It's really amazing," said Miss Bennet, who was running her finger over the lamb jumping up and down the page, and she had discovered that whenever her finger touched the lamb, it would say "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa baa" cry.

"Mary, are there any novels?" Elizabeth asked again.

When Mary was in the third and fourth grades, she was obsessed with the great wizard who slayed the dragon and got the novel of Princess Heart, so she quickly helped her sister find what she needed.

When she came back, Jane was still looking at the album, and now there was a cormorant on the page, standing by the water.Mary searched among the piles of books, and she also wanted to give her sisters some presents.

What she found were two thin-bound books, or rather notebooks, for they were empty, but Sophie had given Mary the same one, and she handed it to Jane, Whispered to her purpose.

"This is for specimens. Although it looks like nothing, as long as you put flowers and leaves in the book, by the next morning, that page will become a specimen."

Miss Bennet was a little skeptical, but thanked Mary for her kindness.

Elizabeth came over again, holding a book in her hand, "Are you ordinary Muggles?"

Mary nodded, she saw the title of the book in Elizabeth's hand, "The Muggles You Don't Know".

"I'm buying the book," Elizabeth said.

The few of them lingered in Lihen Bookstore for a while, and then left under the constant urging of Kitty and Lydia.It was eleven o'clock, and Mary asked the sisters if they wanted to go to lunch first.

"Let's go shopping for clothes first," Lydia rushed to say, "you can eat candy when you are hungry."

The sisters said they were not hungry, so they went to the nearby Mrs. Lafayette's tailor shop together.

"This shop was opened by a French witch," Mary introduced, "It is said that she moved here from Paris a few years ago."

Thanks to Sophie, she knew that the reason why this French witch opened a shop in Diagon Alley was because of the investment from Mr. William Hastings. It will be Sophie's father-in-law. As a collateral branch of the Hastings family, with some unique advantages, he funded or took in a large number of French wizards in exile from the other side of the strait, and gained a lot of benefits from it. .

"You can pick whatever you want," Mary added with a smile, "I have a VIP card for this store, and I can get a [-]% discount."

When Victor Hastings was still at Hogwarts, many students received this type of VIP card.It's just that after Mary's words, even the smiles on the faces of the shop assistants who came up to them became a little more polite.And Kitty and Lydia became more and more excited. Of course, this is also because the clothes from Paris are quite fashionable, and this Mrs. Lafayette just happened to be very popular with witches. Extremely gorgeous line.

As a result, the ladies from the Longbourne countryside would feel dazzled. Kitty and Lydia had each picked out a dress to try on. Miss Bennet called Mary aside and asked her in a low voice about the shop. Clothes are not particularly expensive.

"Besides, I think there are too many flowers embroidered on these satins, and too much lace to match," said Elizabeth. "If Lydia wants to wear such a dress and appear in the village, there must be many people." People want to ask the origin of the clothes."

"It's okay, I know the clothes here, they are very cheap," Mary told the two sisters quietly, "Don't look at the gorgeous dress, it's all made by a spell, and it can only last for five days, and after five days, you will also arrive Long Born, it's just that it's hard for you to comfort the two of them."

Jane and Elizabeth both laughed, but Mary took advantage of Kitty and Lydia's time to look in the mirror and told them that these clothes from the wizarding world were spelled, and if you really bought them back home, you might not be able to wear them. The two of them are like ordinary Muggles who only believe what they see with their own eyes. Kitty still has a little idea of ​​the price of clothes, so she only dared to buy one. Lydia took three at once, and saw that Mary was not at all The meaning of going to pay, only to coyly subtract one more item.

The room was booked in the Leaky Cauldron, and the five ladies walked around all morning, just in time to taste delicious food.In the afternoon, Mary led her sisters to the clothing store she often went to. This shop mainly focused on the clothes that young ladies wear every day. Everyone picked one or two pieces. Lydia wanted to buy more, but Mary Tell her unceremoniously that she still needs to set aside money to buy gifts for her parents.

The group went to buy gifts for Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet again. They bought an oil lamp that would light up automatically after dark for Mr. Bennet. Cage—on the surface, it looks similar to the ones commonly used by Muggles, but it can automatically heat up after shaking it a few times. It is really a good thing that comes in handy in winter.
