Chapter 39 Exclusive VIP

Mrs. Hamilton was hospitalized at St. Mungo's for a total of two weeks, and Mary received eight galleons for overtime pay, and some so-called reputation enough to make her the talk of others.

As for Charlie Dawn, he can finally enjoy a week-long vacation. In his ward, the patients in it are all relatively common injuries, and they are completely handed over to Mary to take care of them.Among them was a young lady with a back injury who was undergoing scar removal surgery. Mary liked it the most. Since she did not allow men to perform the treatment, Mary got enough opportunities to practice the skin-skinning spell and was close to mastering the spell.

The latest letter Mary has received from her eldest sister suddenly says nothing about the residents of Netherfield.She finds this unusual. In Jane's previous letters, she not only said a lot of good things about Mr. Bingley, but even mentioned Mr. Darcy, whom everyone dislikes. But this time, she just said Mr. Collins, who will inherit Longbourne after Mr. Bennet's death, and his marriage to Charlotte Lucas, then she tells Mary that their aunt and uncle will come to Longbourn for Christmas, so the whole family Everyone wanted her to go home too.

Mary decided almost at once that she was going home, and when Charlie Dawn came back from her holidays she asked him how St. Mungo's was at Christmas.

"This year's new employees will definitely be on duty during the holidays," Dawn's first sentence made Mary's mood drop to the bottom, but he continued, "On duty can enjoy three times the salary, so It’s also a good thing, if you need money especially, you can also help others take over, and I do it every year.”

This put Mary in a slightly better mood, but then Dawn brought up another incident. "You have to make sure you don't miss the staff gathering at Christmas. Not only will you get to know everyone better, but every employee will get a gift, and there will be a lucky draw."

Then Mary must ask the time of the staff gathering, Charlie Dunn said, "It is on December 23 every year, and from the 24th to the 28th is the Christmas holiday. This holiday is too short, if you really want to To reunite with family members, it is best to apply for a few more days off."

As a result, Mary was already thinking about not going home for Christmas, and within a few days, the duty schedule during the Christmas holiday was also announced. Mary would be on duty for two days, on the 25th and 28th respectively.

The daily salary for duty is one Galleon and four Knuts. Mary then gave her Hufflepuff classmate the duty on the 27th. She used the duty as an excuse to write a letter to go home, saying that she would not go home. .

The whole family was a little disappointed.Mary used the next weekend to go to Diagon Alley and bought gifts for the whole family. The gifts for her aunts and cousins ​​were bought from Muggle shops. She spent time at Gardiner's house. Presents for the whole family were taken by the Gardiners to Longbourne during half the afternoon.

As Christmas approached, the number of patients in St. Mungo's finally decreased a little, and everyone finally waited for the annual staff gathering. On the morning of the 23rd, each employee received a beautifully printed invitation coupon.After lunch, everyone did not leave the staff canteen. Everyone released all kinds of magic at will. After a while, the staff canteen was almost flooded with various decorations, especially on the podium where Dean Michelle was about to give a speech. Surrounded by colorful bubbles that exude a strong fragrance, it is said that this is exactly what Dean Michelle likes.

At two o'clock, Dean Michelle really appeared by apparation. She briefly praised all the staff for their hard work in the past year, and wished everyone a happy new year. Mary found that everyone was listening, and they were a little absent-minded. , Just hearing Dean Michelle say "I will say these few words today", everyone seemed to be nervous all of a sudden.

Dean Michelle waved his magic wand, and the invitation coupons in everyone's hands flashed in different colors. Immediately, cheers erupted from the crowd. Not far from Mary, a person she didn't know The young lady held the invitation ticket in her hand and shouted loudly, "First prize!"

Her invitation card shone with golden light, while the one in Mary's hand only had some faint gleams of gleam. After the gleam, there was a gleam of "Third Prize" left on it, and Dean Michelle quickly With a wave of the magic wand, countless gift boxes suddenly appeared in the air and flew to everyone's hands.

Mary's prize was a large box of chocolates, and Charlie Dawn, standing beside her, got the same box.The lady's first prize was a beautifully crafted broomstick, but Mary was also a little secretly pleased. For her, a broomstick was not as good as chocolate.

Then it started dancing, almost everyone was still wearing overalls, but obviously this couldn't stop everyone from being in a good mood.After every dance, several boxes will fall from the ceiling, and of course there are gifts in them.

Mary sincerely wanted to enjoy the feeling of being hit by presents. Charlie Dawn first danced two dances with his two female classmates, and then came to invite her. As a result, when the dance was over, he Received a gift box.

This gift was a pack of high-end black tea. Longbourne had a small can of this brand of black tea, which was locked in Mrs. Bennet's cabinet. Charlie Dawn just took a look at it and gave this gift to Mary. .

Mary accepted it happily, and then told him that if she got any more presents, she would definitely give them to him.In the next few dances, she danced with her Gryffindor classmates, and then she saw Charlie Dawn standing next to a lady without overalls, waving to her.

"This is Miss Dresden," he introduced Mary. "You must have met each other at Hogwarts. Miss Dresden is in her seventh year at Hufflepuff."

Mary and the lady greeted each other, and she felt that she should find a topic, so she took the initiative to ask her if she planned to participate in St. Mungo's recruitment examination next year.

"It's not interesting for me to participate in St. Mungo's recruitment." Miss Dresden seemed a little casual. "The person in charge of recruitment must know whose daughter I am, so my father has already made an appointment with Dean Michelle. As soon as I graduate, I will come directly to St. Mungo's to work, just as your internship is over, and Charlie can continue to be my instructor."

Mary hardly knew how to answer her, so she could only smile and nod, and politely said that it was a good thing to have her as a colleague.In fact, she thought there could be nothing worse than that Mr. Dresden, a man in awe of the trauma department and St. Mungo's in general, had no idea what people were going to do with his daughter.

Miss Dresden in turn asked Mary if she thought Charlie Dawn would be a good instructor.

Then, Mary must say a few more good things for Dawn, which is obviously a better topic, because Miss Dresden also told some anecdotes about Charlie Dawn at Hufflepuff College. Has always been a good student who works hard.

After talking for a while, Miss Dresden excused herself and walked away. Mary stood on the sidelines and didn't even notice that a dance was over. As a result, she was actually hit by a gift box.

The box was very light, and Mary was still a little disappointed. When she opened it, she found that it was a suitable gift for Charlie Dawn. It was a men's top hat.

She gave the top hat to Charlie Dawn, who looked surprised and accepted the gift with a big thank you after tapping with his wand for a long time without a rabbit or anything jumping out.

The staff party didn't come to an end until six o'clock in the afternoon, and the Christmas holiday began immediately. People came out of the dance floor and began to bid farewell to each other. Several people who were eager to go home, including Charlie Dawn, came directly from the venue Within that apparated away.

The next thing is to be on duty at Christmas, which is actually not as hard as Mary imagined, because there are almost no new patients. Various delicacies specially prepared by the restaurant, such as a large Christmas pudding that leaves liquid chocolate when everything is opened.

Mary was not forgotten by the family, and Jane wrote another letter, saying that she would come to live with her aunt and uncle in London, so that she could bring Mary some home-cooked pastries and bacon.This was a pleasant surprise, unfortunately, St. Mungo's staff quarters could not accommodate Muggles, otherwise, she thought she could even invite her sister to live with her for a day or two.

In fact, it was the next year that Jane arrived in London.Mary, who had visited Mr. Gardiner's on the first day of her arrival, seemed to her to have lost some weight, but Miss Bennet insisted that she had not.

However, when Jane was called away by the Gardiner children, Mrs. Gardiner hurriedly introduced the big family news to Mary, just as many people, including Mrs. Bennet, of course, thought that Bingley When the husband proposed to Jane sooner or later, the residents of Netherfield suddenly disappeared collectively, and Jane received a letter from Caroline Bingley, saying that they did not intend to return to Netherfield up.

"Jane admired Mr. Bingley very much, so this time she was hit by a broken relationship," said Mrs. Gardiner. "We invited Jane to live in London and hoped that she would have the opportunity to see him again. Mr Bingley, of course, it might not be an easy visit to Grosvenor Street, Lisa and I both felt it was clear that someone was trying to separate them, Caroline Bingley had made it clear Both she and her sister wish her brother to marry Mr Darcy's sister, who has a dowry of forty thousand pounds."

This is apparently the reason why Mr. Bingley has suddenly ceased to be mentioned in Jane's last letter. "Dear Mary, Lisa asked me to bring you a message," she added, "we all know you are very capable, and it would be great if you could help Jane this time."

"Oh, if you don't tell me, I'll definitely do it too," Mary thought for a while, "but I don't know how Jane plans, let me ask her."

That night, Mary stayed at her uncle's house and shared a room with Jane. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked her if she planned to visit her friends on Grosvenor Street this time.

"When I was still at Longbourn, I wrote to Caroline Bingley, telling her I was coming to London and giving her the address of my uncle's house," Jane smiled slightly, "so I think I'll hear back from her in a few days."

It would be a good thing if Jane could see Mr. Bingley in this way, and Mary made up her mind that if Jane did not succeed this time, she must let Mr. Bingley appear before her sister automatically.
