Mary's bedroom had been made up exactly as it had been during her last visit to Stillwater, and her trunk had been brought in, at the foot of the bed.

"Very well, Sophie," said Mary, opening the box, "and look at the little present I've brought you."

The two hand-embroidered handkerchiefs were of course small gifts, but Sophie was full of praise. "My God, Mary, did you really embroider this yourself? You must be a genius!"

Mary knew Sophie would take care of the embroidery, so she really worked hard on the flowers.Now, Sophie was looking at the embroidery carefully, muttering, "I'll never learn this in my life, Marie, I tried again when summer vacation started, and I couldn't even sew a stitch with flying stitches." Straightforwardly, my mother said that maybe I have no talent in this area."

"Oh, it's nothing, Sophie," Mary had used the same method to comfort her good friend many times, "as long as you marry into a family with house-elves in the future, you won't have to do these things yourself."

"But now I feel that I may not find a husband with a house-elf," Sophie had already slumped on the neatly made bed, spread her handkerchief over her face, and muttered still, "Mary , I can't find a marriage partner for the house-elf, I should always find someone I like?"

Mary often thought that if she was still a young lady in a squire's family who had grown up well, she would probably be like Sophie, often worrying about such far-fetched things as love.It's just that she left home and studied at Hogwarts for six years. Apart from magical knowledge, she already knows how to pay attention to her own destiny in another way.

But Sophie may be more exaggerated. She is the only daughter in this well-off family, and she has been favored more since she was a child. Mary has always felt that it is her own luck to have such a friend, so she will definitely comfort her now. her.

"Oh, Sophie, believe me," she laughed, "if you're going to find a husband who can't get a house-elf, your lord will marry either Boram or Midas, and you and Did I tell you? The wizarding world has a long tradition of marrying house-elves as dowry."

"Exactly!" Sophie seemed to regain her spirits all of a sudden. She jumped up from the bed and shouted, "I'm not the only witch who can't do housework."

Then she lowered her voice again, and smiled mysteriously at Mary, "Dear Mary, you know, my mother can hardly do these things, but my father, I have seen him use the magic of flying needles, Seems pretty good."

Out of politeness, Mary didn't want to listen to the gossip about the Windermere couple, so she smiled, "Sophie, didn't I tell you, I'm actually not very good at threading with a flying needle."

"But you can sew!" Sophie emphasized, and she waved her hand in a disinterested manner, "Forget it, Mary, let's not talk about this, I want to show you what I have learned."

Sophie rushed out of Mary's room quickly, without even closing the door, Mary could only show a helpless smile, refolded the two handkerchiefs Sophie left on the bed and put them aside.

Sophie ran back again, and Mary saw that on her hand was a dazzling gemstone necklace.

Of course this can't be a real gem, Mary smiled, "Dear Sophie, have you already learned that 'Diamonis'?"

Sophie nodded triumphantly, "Of course."

"Oh, you are a natural born lady," Mary admired sincerely.

"Probably just keep it for a little more than a day," Sophie smiled proudly and modestly, "I conjured this up this morning, and it doesn't seem as shiny as it did this morning."

"It's already good," said Mary, like most women, unable to resist the temptation of gems, even though she knew that these gems were not real.

The magic of "Demonis" itself was created by witches. It has been passed down from hand to mouth among women in ancient wizard families. As long as there are some ornaments of ordinary styles and materials, using this magic can conjure gorgeous gems and diamonds.

What kind of gems are conjured depends entirely on the skill of the caster, so this can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end transfiguration, and Hogwarts obviously won't teach this in class, Sophie told Mary before After this magic, it seems that she has mastered a lot.

"I'll teach you to-morrow," she said. "Mary, I recollect that you have a watch, and perhaps we can make it into a hair crown."

Mary could only nod her head. In fact, she had been thinking that most wizards probably knew that witches, including some wizards, once they wore gems of unknown origin, they would appear out of ten. yes.

Then, the decorative function of these ornaments may have to be discounted.

Still, those sparkling gems are so lovely, Mary certainly wouldn't mind learning the spell.She and Sophie spoke a few more words, and finally both of them could hardly resist the exhaustion brought about by the long-distance travel. After saying good night to each other, Sophie went back to the room.

Mary didn't sleep well that night. Of course, it was mainly because of the excitement of returning to the wizarding world. Moreover, there was a heavy rain in the second half of the night, and the sound of the rain and wind and waves did not gradually decrease until dawn. He fell asleep drowsily on the bed, but when he woke up, it was only after six o'clock.

Mary went to the window in her pajamas and looked at it. The rain had stopped, there was some fog on the lake, and the sun could be seen faintly. She didn't feel sleepy at all, so she put on her clothes and walked out the door lightly.

When Mary was a guest at Stillwater Manor last time, she had gotten used to the Windermere family's routine, and they probably hadn't gotten up at this time.So she boldly walked to the balcony, and the beautiful scenery of the rainy day should not be wasted.

Regardless of the Windermere family's surname, Stillwater Manor is actually quite a distance from Lake Windermere.The lake that Mary sees now is not that big, the dense forest by the lake can be seen directly in front and to the right, only the left side is quite wide.The Windermeres didn't even have a decent name for the little lake, they used to call it "our lake," so that if guests had to mention it to their hosts, they had to Say "your lake".

Sophie once told Mary that "our lake" is located in a very remote place, and almost no Muggles have come here, so it has largely preserved its natural colors. Some common fish thrive in the lake. It is said that Mr. Windermere once considered trapping a young horse-shaped water monster to keep in the lake, but was strongly opposed by Mrs. Windermere. However, he himself insisted that he studied the creatures in the lake and found that Some common fish were not enough to meet the horse-shaped water monster's food needs, so they gave up.

Therefore, the current lake surface is still extremely quiet. She likes this tranquility very much. Whenever this time, she will feel that there is only one person in such a vast world. This feeling is not lonely, or in other words, it can be Call it a kind of pride that is willing to accept more challenges. Mary knows clearly that if she is still living in a small village in the countryside, she will never have such thoughts in her life.

In fact, not thinking about anything, just blowing the cool morning breeze and breathing the unusually refreshing air a little bit greedily, was enough to make Mary feel that she was not at all like someone who didn't sleep well at night.Unfortunately, however, she didn't enjoy it alone for long, and the sudden creaking sound of the door leading to the balcony startled her a lot.

Mary turned around and saw a figure retreating out the door. Before she could react, she almost instinctively knelt and said "sorry".

As a result, the figure came in again, and when Mary raised her head, she already knew who he was.With the same beautiful blonde hair as Phibs Knight, and the daily attire of young Muggle gentlemen that she is very familiar with, then he should be the current owner of the Knight family.

"I should be the one to say sorry, but I hope I didn't disturb you, Miss," Bader Knight bowed gracefully, "Since there is no third person here to introduce us, please forgive me, I am Bard Knight Del Knight, if you were Miss Bennet, you must have seen my brother Phoebes yesterday."

Mary confirmed it, and then greeted the other party again very cautiously.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Bennet," said Badernett, coming up. "I was supposed to greet you last night, but I was in a rush to Manchester, and when I came back, I was in time to meet with you." Phoebes for supper."

"It rained on the way and we arrived later than expected," Mary explained hastily.

Bader Knight looked at the sky, and then said, "I hope the rainy day can come to an end, after all, no one likes this kind of wet weather."

Mary agreed. "I saw that the water in the lake has risen a little," she laughed. "It seems that the lake is wider. This may be the only benefit of a rainy day."

Badernight didn't continue to talk about the weather, he just smiled politely, "Miss Bennet, please wait a moment."

Mary didn't know, but Bader Knight had already asked into the air, "Soso, are you there?"

With a "pop", a house elf with big green eyes emerged from a cloud of smoke, "Mr. Bader, what are your orders?"

"Go and pour two cups of tea, and if you have some freshly baked tea this morning, bring some."

The house-elf disappeared immediately, and then Badernette turned to Mary again, "Miss Bennet, I am used to drinking tea in the morning, please forgive me for asking you to have a taste of it."

"Thank you for your kindness." Mary's thoughts were actually still on the house elf just now, she thought of a possibility, "Mr. Knight, I have never seen Soso in Stillwater Manor."

"Oh, I brought him here," Badernet smiled. "Soso is a house elf who serves me specially. My brother Phoebes also has one, named Gigi."

"After Phipps went to Hogwarts, he didn't let Gigi follow him. In fact, Gigi is a very loyal and honest house-elf," he added, "But I told him a long time ago, wait for him After you get married and start a family, bring Jiji with you."

Mary just nodded, as if she didn't feel the need to answer.
