"It's nothing, you can come to St. Mungo's to work, it's just that you meet the needs of St. Mungo's," Charlie Dawn smiled, "Mary, you must know that people are very different, and it is very likely that St. Mungo's does not meet the needs of St. Mungo's." One of you needs."

Ever since she confirmed the news that Robert Wallin was about to leave her job, Mary has fallen into some unknown depression. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she always felt that she was in some trouble. Come on, her instructor must have a few more comments.

"St. Mungo's work is relatively hard, and some people can't last for a few years," Charlie Dawn seemed a little careless, "and, with the work experience of St. Mungo's, you can work in the homes of those big nobles. A private therapist with a high salary and, if you're lucky, a leisurely job."

Mary had never thought of leaving St. Mungo's to work elsewhere. She hesitated before asking, "I see a lot of therapists in the hospital who are 50 or [-] years old?"

"Everyone has different likes and dislikes." Charlie Dawn spread his hands, "After all, the profession of a therapist is still very good and respected."

After this conversation, Mary went to the party at the Leaky Cauldron in a slightly better mood.However, she soon discovered that Robert Walling himself was clearly the one in the best mood of the five people present.

"I really don't like St. Mungo's work," he said in his own words. "Besides, the work of caring for the sick, I think it is better for women to do it. It just so happened that Thomas Byrne was in the earl of Swansea. The Quidditch team is doing very well, and the Earl of Swansea's Quidditch team is about to represent Wales in next year's Quidditch World Cup, so they need some people in charge of general affairs, so he recommended me to the Earl."

Now that he had a new job, the other four had no choice but to congratulate him in unison.Mary wanted to know the income of the general staff of the Quidditch team, but felt uncomfortable asking. Obviously, more than one person had this idea. After everyone toasted to the new job, someone raised this question.

Robert Walling said a figure, and it occurred to Mary that if it wasn't higher than their wages at St. Mungo's, he probably wouldn't say it either.So the guests began to praise the Earl of Swansea's generosity again, and at the same time naturally raised their glasses again to congratulate their classmates on finding a good job.

Robert Walling triumphantly left London for Wales, and the people left behind naturally had to work hard.A few days later, Mary got her first salary in her life, holding eight bright gold coins in her hand, she also felt very satisfied.

Mary has a little knowledge of financial management. Since her salary saved for three months can exceed the amount she saved in seven years at Hogwarts, then she must not just take a box and put it in the cabinet , and, she is now in London, very close to Gringotts, of course she should save the money to earn interest.

So Mary went to ask her instructor how to open an account at Gringotts, but Charlie Dawn seemed to disagree.

"Gringotts' interest rate is too low, only one cent per year. I'm afraid it was squeezed out by those goblins who love money like their lives. It's better to convert all Galleons into British pounds and deposit them in Muggle banks. Much more interest."

This is a matter of experience, so Mary had a new question, "Charlie, which Muggle bank is your pound stored in?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Dawn's face, "Oh, I didn't save..."

Mary was quite surprised, and Dawn hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice again, "Mary, you know, there is only one bank in the wizarding world, Gringotts, and these goblins hold gold coins too tightly, so they won't lend out easily, so they There were a few shops that took money from the public to lend money, and I sent my money in just to earn more interest.”

This was the first time she had heard that since there was a way to earn more money, she obviously wanted to ask clearly, so she asked, "How much interest?"

"Those shops collected money and gave four or five percent interest to the person who gave the money," Dawn didn't hide, "This is actually considered low. I know that when they release the money, the interest charged is at least one cent. "

This is actually similar to the interest of depositing in a Muggle bank. Mary now has two options, but if she deposits it in a Muggle bank, she has her own account and savings in the Muggle world. This is a prudent thing for her. It is said to be a hidden danger. If an acquaintance in the family finds out, it may bring unnecessary trouble to the whole family.

So can I send the money to a shop that lends money?Mary went to ask Charlie Dawn again. Unfortunately, he said that these shops do not accept small sums of money, and the minimum acceptance standard is [-] Galleons.

"Oh, by this time next year, I might not be able to save a hundred Galleons," Mary muttered emphatically.She ended up opening an account at Gringotts and depositing her wages into it the next time she was in Diagon Alley.She still had a dozen or so of the Galleons she had saved up, and still kept the flowers.

Mary’s expenses are actually a lot, because she spends almost all her holidays wandering around Diagon Alley and several villages where wizards gather around London. Of course, she needs to spend some money to buy some favorite things thing.For example, a kettle that will automatically move from the fire to the table next to it when the water is boiled, and a desk that will put all kinds of things thrown on the table into the drawer, each cost several Gold Galleon.

She hadn't gone home for the past few months, and the family's reply letter didn't urge her to go home at first, so in October, Jane's letter suddenly contained some fresh content.

Miss Bennet asked her sister if she remembered the Netherfield Gardens on the other side of the village. Mary did not remember, which only showed that she had no vision, because the house was now taken by a wealthy young man from the north of England. , he rented the house and moved in with his family at the end of last month, and it is said that he plans to live here for several years.

"Father has called on Netherfield," Jane wrote, "when Mr. Bingley came to pay his respects, we all saw him at the upstairs window, and he came on horseback, and, on the whole, he was A handsome young man. My mother was going to invite him to dinner again this week. She planned several dishes, but he declined. It is said that he has rushed to London to invite friends to join us next Saturday At the ball at Meryton, he is said to have invited a dozen guests of both sexes."

The four ladies in the Bennet family are already preparing for the ball. Of course, Mrs. Bennet also arranged tasks for Mary. She asked her daughter to purchase some eye-catching accessories for the sisters in London. , whether it is gloves, fans, pins or ribbons, the five of them must be able to leave the best impression on Mr. Bingley and the distinguished guests he invited through the ball.

If it was just shopping for accessories, Mary was not worried, but Mrs. Bennet emphasized five people. She ordered Jane to write clearly in the letter, telling Mary to go home too, and she also had to be ready to attend the dance. .

Mary could understand Mrs. Bennet's psychology. Although she didn't write it in the letter, her mother must have been nagging at home, hoping that one of her daughters would marry this rich young master. Yes, if her sisters stayed in the village, and the only chance of getting out was to Meryton, they could only hope to be seen by a man, since this Mr. Bingley He has been described as an ideal husband, so the young ladies in the surrounding villages will probably be moved by the news.

As for herself, Mary felt that there was no need to join in the fun, so she quickly wrote a reply, telling Mrs. Bennet that she would go shopping for accessories for her sisters, and at the same time emphasized her point of view. Calling her home from London just to attend this ball, will people think that these five ladies are really hard to find a marriage partner, and when they meet this one, they will try their best to catch them.

Mrs. Bennet's reply was also very prompt. Of course, the letter was still written by Jane, but Mary knew how difficult her mother was when she saw the first few sentences about her stupid accusation.Her mother asked her to come home a day or two early, so that it wasn't "specifically" for the prom, but just "by chance."

Mary thought it was a cover-up, but her curiosity about this Mr. Bingley had now gotten the better of her, and she went to take her first sabbatical from work, applying for two days' annual leave, so that next Thursday In the morning she will be able to go home.

Since she was shopping for her sisters, she went to a Muggle shop early in the morning on the weekend, and found nothing but two pairs of lace gloves. After the chic and more interesting clothing, her aesthetics could no longer accept these Muggle things, so she returned to Diagon Alley, just in time for a witch's jewelry store to have a large number of new goods.

Even Mary herself loved the fluffball earrings, or the two-cherry barrette.Of course, there was a satin and lace flower brooch for her sisters, which was also lightly scented, and she bought them rainbow ribbons, which were a favorite of young witches. One of my favorite ornaments, from Monday to Sunday, changes color one by one according to the seven colors of the rainbow every day.

Jane is 22 years old, and Elizabeth will soon be 20 years old. Mary thinks that they need to find a husband as soon as possible, so she specially bought them some makeup powder that witches love, the Rosemary colorful powder Contains some shimmery powder particles, just right for a prom.

Mary bought herself a pair of satin gloves to go with the dancing dress, which had to be bought in Diagon Alley. One of these gloves had a space folding spell on it, so that witches could store their wands in them when necessary , they can cast spells without even taking out their wands.Mary asked for the right hand, which she always held her wand with.

It didn't cost much to buy these things, but when she returned to the dormitory, Mary counted them, and was surprised to find that there were 24 small boxes and bags in total, so she used a space folding spell to stuff all the things into her handbag , with her apparition level, it is really unsure to carry so many things, just remember to get them all before boarding the family's carriage.

The things that Mary brought back were unanimously welcomed by the whole family, including Mr. Bennet. The father called his daughter into the study, first cared about her work, and then took out his wallet .

"Good girl, I said that I still have to give you money every year, and now it is more than a month later than in previous years, not to mention that you are wasting your salary to help your sisters buy so many useless things," Mr. Bennet took out two fifty-pound notes and handed them to Mary, "I don't think you need to make any preparations for that stupid ball, but in order not to trouble you, I'll give you the money today. "
