Chapter 55 Exclusive VIP

Badr has always walked the talk.

He conjured up a few more cushions, and then he really lay down. Mary had no choice but to conjure up a blanket and cover him.

"Is there a book?" Before he fell asleep, she took the time to ask.

Badr waved his wand at the small cabinet, and a book jumped out. Mary looked at it, it was a book introducing painting, including hand-painting, some necessary spells, and various precautions for making the painting move .

Mary had hardly touched painting before, so she was quickly attracted by this book, and read it carefully page by page. Balder fell asleep and woke up again, and she didn't pay much attention.

She even jumped when he spoke, "Mary, hold still," he said, getting up quickly to find something in the closet.

What I took out this time was a roll of drawing paper and charcoal pencils. Mary saw these basic drawing supplies from a book just now, and she still couldn't help but move her stiff neck, and asked him by the way, "Badr, what do you want to draw?" ?”

"Of course." He found another drawing board, spread the paper quickly, and ordered, "Mary, keep reading, don't worry about it."

In fact, Mary couldn't keep still, and it was impossible not to pay attention to Baldr's progress curiously, but every time she secretly turned her head to look at him, he was still immersed in the painting.She also wanted to ask how he learned such a profound skill as painting, but she didn't dare to disturb him while he was painting.

"Okay, Mary, let's take a look," Bader finally put down the pen, he stretched himself, and then handed the painting to her.

It was a sketch, and it was only the upper body. After looking at it for a long time, Mary asked suspiciously, "Badr, is it like this?"

"It's about the same." He didn't seem to be too sure, "Mary, you know, I haven't drawn for a long time, and I even felt that my hands were shaking just now, which is really bad."

Mary shook her head, "It seems that the painting is too beautiful."

"Of course not," he replied, "and I feel that I need to modify it. Maybe I will change this painting into oil paint in a few days."

"Oh, there is only one silhouette. The last time Diagon Alley used a spell to make a silhouette, it took eight Nats to make one," Mary laughed, "Badr, is this one for you?"

"This is for myself," Bader said in a pitiful tone, "Mary, if you want to know what you look like, just look in the mirror. You don't need to look at the portrait, but if you miss it, you can only look at it." portrait."

"You can look for it," Mary replied without thinking, "It won't take much time to apparate to London."

"Great, Mary, that's what I'm talking about," Badr seemed to be happy all of a sudden, "I've been worried all this time, and there's no reason to come out to meet me."

"Then just ask the owl to deliver a letter," he said triumphantly, "just say that you think about it, and you can visit all the places in Hyde Park that you haven't visited before."

Mary couldn't help it. "Going back," she said, getting to her feet.

After sitting for so long, her feet would definitely be numb, and she just moved a little bit, and she was excruciatingly painful from the sore and painful feeling.

"Whoever kept saying that he was going to leave," Bader immediately moved in front of her, "Mary, you can rub your legs."

Mary made up her mind to ignore him. She lowered her head and rubbed her legs, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand. After staying for a while, he went to pick up the kettle again.

"Well," he muttered as he filled the pot, "Mary, at least this cup of tea before I go."

While drinking tea, in order to appease Bader, Mary asked him how he learned to paint. This topic is obviously worth talking about. After chatting for a while, it was just after four o'clock.

The process of Badr sending her back to the dormitory was so slow that Mary felt a little reluctant to leave, so she would ask him what other arrangements he had recently.

"It's all about business," he thought for a while, and then added in a low voice, "Mary, there should be no problem with your work. I have visited several directors of our hospital yesterday and the day before yesterday, and they are enough to influence the final result. .”

Mary nodded. She felt that basic etiquette should be maintained between them, so she thanked her again.

He waved his hand, "Mary, the only regret I have now is that I should have bought the hospital's shares the year before last and become a director of St. Mungo's. In that case, I will definitely not have the idea of ​​resigning."

The two spoke a few more words, and Mary looked at her watch. It was almost five o'clock, so she persuaded Bader to go back quickly.

He shook her hand again before Apparating away.

Two days later, the announcement of the employment arrangements for St. Mungo's female employees surprised almost everyone.Maybe the dean of Dresden did not change his original intention, but he postponed the deadline for dismissal for no reason. The notice said that although the initial dismissal selection has been confirmed, the hospital still hopes that the female employees can I took the initiative to submit my resignation on the basis of a full understanding of my own work ability, and at the same time, to allow everyone time to look for the next job, and to further examine the selected ones... All in all, the staff adjustment will definitely be completed before the end of the year.

This was barely good news for Mary, so she immediately wrote to Badr to tell him the content of the notice.At the same time, she felt that there was nothing to say between them, so she also shared her guess, maybe it was really to wait for Mr. Knight to finish the treatment to remove the scars, and Mary Bennet would be in St. Mungo's Hospital. It really has no value, and it happens to be dismissed before the end of the year.

Bader’s reply stated that, compared to Mary’s guess, he believed that it was because the hospital could not recruit so many top-ranking male therapists in a short period of time. He told her that if St. Large-scale recruitment, then it is very likely to be the reason.

Still, he talks about his scar-removal treatments in a joking tone. "Anyway, I can't see any scars," he wrote. "As for the back, which I believe I don't mind, it is too bumpy, so I decided to postpone the original treatment until next year, just to see if they will be at the end of the year. dismiss."

In any case, now Mary can finally relax.On the weekend, she and Sophie went shopping in Diagon Alley for two consecutive days, buying several long dresses and a lot of odds and ends.

"Mary, it's time to dress up," her friend said. "Don't always wear work clothes and look slovenly. Find a suitable man to marry as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about being fired."

As for Mary, all she considered was whether Baldr would like her attire.At the same time, she also thought that once the relationship between the two of them was known by everyone around, including Sophie, everyone might think it was too incredible.

Of all the young wizards she knew, Baldur Knight was almost the one with the most noble status. It was indeed not only an honor for Mary to be favored by him, she would even feel that she had made friends with her. Fortunately, all the aspects she could understand seemed to indicate that he was indeed an extremely ideal marriage partner.

But Mary never forgot that she was just an ordinary witch from a Muggle family with no money or power.Badr doesn't seem to care about this, but if she really marries him, it may still be a great test for her.

In this regard, Mary is actually not lacking in confidence. She went to Diagon Alley alone after get off work one day and bought the latest edition of "Families of Legend", which is almost a genealogy textbook in the wizarding world.There used to be many books of this kind in the library of Hogwarts, but she had never touched them, but now, she felt that she needed to understand all of them.

Chapter 3, she found the Simmons family of Exeter, the Hastings family of Dover was in front of them, and the Knight family of Chester was Chapter 7, this chapter is very long, except for her In addition to a few classmates, the Dresden family in Surrey is also in the same position.

There are only ten chapters in this book, and the Windermere family in the Lake District is Chapter 10, but it is clearly stated in the book that Mrs. Windermere is the only descendant of such and such an ancient family.Along with Chapter 10 is the Horton family of Plymouth. Mary was surprised to find that, in addition to mentioning that there was only one daughter left in the Horton family, the book also indicated that a certain gentleman from the previous generation was missing. He went to America and so on.

At least at the wedding, no relatives surnamed Holden appeared.Mary thought of the old Mrs. Simmons again. She must know the contents of this book very well.In fact, even Sophie had systematically studied the content of this book, although she had emphasized to Mary that the ranking in the book did not mean anything at all.

She never spent a penny on newspapers. At Hogwarts, Mary read newspapers in the library like many students did, and then casually read the newspapers left by someone in St. Mungo's dining room or the common kitchen of the dormitory. Newspaper with missing pages.And by the end of the week, Mary had paid for a yearly subscription to the Daily Prophet, according to the subscription information in the Daily Prophet.

If you read the "Daily Prophet" as a textbook, you should have some special gains.Among the numerous advertisements, Mary found an advertisement for the sale of tropical fruits at Knight's so-and-so farm. She immediately thought of the lady who brought pineapples, and then suddenly realized that she didn't even know how many tropical fruits there were in the whole of England. A young witch who wants to be another Mrs. Knight.

She couldn't tell what effect these would have, but things seemed obvious, and knowing more about these things seemed to be the only thing she could do now, and it was also beneficial and harmless.

The second week was also over, and Mary received a bitter letter from Baldr.After a tour of continental Europe, the newlyweds actually proposed to meet the family's distant relatives in the Alps, where Fibos had been last 15 years ago, so he had to accompany them.

Then Mary can only try the embroidered silk square scarf from the famous workshop in Lyon that was sent with the letter around her neck. Going home this weekend to have a look, it seems that you can also wear this silk scarf.

The author has something to say: It seems that it is time to return to the plot of Pride and Prejudice!
