Mary just barely knew that she had reached the climax of the piece, and Sophie seemed to be shouting something beside her, which she didn't even catch.Then, suddenly, her fingers stopped moving.

Both hands drooped limply on the keys, and Mary was stunned for a moment before raising her head to find the reason.

She saw Bader Knight standing not far behind the piano, and he was looking at her with a rather annoyed expression, "Miss Bennet, didn't you learn it at Hogwarts, don't be so casual about yourself Does the body cast a spell?"

"Badr, I said leave them alone," the voice came from Vincent, and as soon as Mary turned her head, she saw him leaning against the door, "These Gryffindor students have always been like this Reckless."

"Where did we go?" Sophie screamed, and rushed over to argue with Vincent, but Mary didn't have the heart to pay attention to the dispute between the two brothers and sisters, she just stared at the man who interrupted her.

"Mr. Knight, I don't want to thank you for your kindness," Mary said coldly, "I'm not a person who doesn't know how to measure. Although I cast magic on my fingers just now, I can play this finger well even without magic." song."

Mary felt that she had reason to be angry, and hoped that the other party would admit her mistake, so she exaggerated her piano skills without hesitation, and then she saw the effect of her words, and Bader Knight's face showed a bit of Embarrassed look.

"Oh...sorry, Miss Bennet, I didn't know you could play the piano," he said emphatically, "but I still advise you not to try these spells lightly."

"I didn't try lightly," Mary said tit for tat. "Sophie is here, and she will keep me safe."

"Okay, Miss Bennet," Badernett forced a smile, "you see, I'm being too modest."

When he said that, Mary could only calm down, "Oh, okay..." She was perfunctory, and turned to look at Sophie.

The dispute between the siblings over there seemed to have come to an end, and Sophie was yelling at Vincent, "Go somewhere else, don't bother us!"

Mary's hands were still pressed on the keys, she thought for a while, and then played the piece just now. She almost played this piece during the whole summer vacation, but she was already so proficient that she didn't need the sheet music.

She lowered her head and concentrated on playing the piano. Perhaps this was more effective than saying anything. After a while, she heard Sophie's voice behind her.

"Okay, Mary, these two nasty fellows are gone."

Mary stopped and looked at Sophie, "Do you want to try this spell?"

The experiment was very unsuccessful.The two discussed it, and felt that the automatic playing spell would be effective only for those who knew how to play the piano.

Sophie lost interest, Mary didn't want to play the piano anymore, and the two wandered in the garden outside the house for a while, and finally waited for the Windermere couple to return.

So far, the Windermere family's guests are only Mary and the Knight brothers. Therefore, at the lunch table, she was arranged between the brothers. Although Mary was very reluctant, she could only sit obediently.

After finishing the soup, Mr. Windermere suddenly asked Sophie, "Dear girl, hasn't the owl from Hogwarts delivered your book list yet?"

Mary had almost forgotten about it, and it seemed that Sophie had, too.

But the owl hadn't come yet, Mr. Windermere added, and he hoped they would get the list as soon as possible, so that Sophie and Mary could hurry up and buy books after the ball.

"Mary, what else are you going to buy?" Sophie asked suddenly.

"Buy an owl," Mary replied without thinking. She had already planned to keep a pet, and the owl was obviously the most practical pet.

"Oh, don't let it live in the dormitory," Sophie immediately emphasized. She never liked small animals, and her little owl Ellis could only live in the owl tower at Hogwarts.

Then Mary could only nod in agreement.Bader Knight suddenly said, "Miss Bennet, ask Phibs to accompany you to buy owls, he can help you choose the best one."

Maybe Badernett meant well, but Mary almost refused it as a matter of course. At this time, Vincent also said, "Phibos, I'm afraid you really have to do this favor and take the two of them to Diagon Alley with apparation. After the ball I must go to London to visit some schoolmates."

It was Vincent who took Sophie and Mary there last year. Both of them are not very good at apparating, especially Sophie, who still dare not act alone.

In this way, the two young ladies who are not good at learning have nothing to say.Only then did Phibsnet agree that he would be responsible for accompanying them to go shopping. Anyway, "It's a pity to waste time on the road."

Even Mr. Windermere thanked Fibbsnight very politely.Then they discussed the guests invited to the ball. It seemed that no one was known to Mary, and she could only listen patiently.

It wasn't until dessert was served that Sophie remembered to ask Mary if she wanted to go riding Pegasus this afternoon.

Mary was about to decline, but it was Phoebe Snet who spoke first, "The sun is too dazzling today, and the wind is not too small. I don't think it is suitable for beginners. Sophie, I suggest you wait until at least five o'clock." After a few minutes, go for a ride."

Then the riding thing was postponed.Or rather, Sophie had realized that she and Mary had more important things to do, and they spent the whole afternoon on Mary's necklace again.

And of course Sophie herself, she said that she couldn't wear only one piece of jewelry, and she didn't plan to wear the ones she had worn before, so everything including hair accessories, earrings and necklaces had to be redesigned and recreated.

It meant a lot of work, too, and, when Sophie finally started casting spells, Mary found that her success rate was not much better than her own.And, more importantly, the duration of the Diamonis curse of the two people is not long, that is to say, they must change out the jewelry before tomorrow afternoon in order to cope with the dance in the evening.

So busy until the sun went down, both of them successfully conjured up the jewelry they wanted, and Mary's pocket watch turned into a green gemstone surrounded by a circle of pearls, which matched her green satin dress just right.

Sophie also suggested that Mary equip some more gemstones, and she said she could lend her some, but Mary flatly refused. Sophie, as the host of the ball, of course should dress up enough conspicuously. As for herself, Mary didn't know anyone, about There will not be many people who will invite her to dance.

"Okay," Sophie said after the last mantra, and all the jewelry changed back to its original shape, and she lay down on the bed, "Oh, Mary, I'm so tired, will you wear this green dress tomorrow?" , take it and let Midas tidy it up for you."

Mary didn't hear what Sophie said into the air, and the house elf appeared almost immediately. After listening to Sophie's order, she immediately asked Mary seriously, "Miss Bennet, how can you wear a dress?" A green dress? You should wear a scarlet or gold dress."

"Oh, Midas, my mother bought this dress," Mary spread her hands. "She doesn't even know that my school is divided into four houses."

"It's very simple, Miss Bennet, don't worry, Midas will help you out of trouble," the house elf pointed at the dress on the hanger with a pointed and slender finger, "snap" With a bang, after a puff of smoke, the skirt turned pale gold.

"It's a nice color," Sophie yelled excitedly, "Mary, you should try it now."

Midas stood aside and still asked respectfully, "Miss Bennet, do you want to add some lace or embroidery to your long dress? I still have a lot of red silk thread, which happened to be embroidered on the On this golden satin."

Mary was almost dumbfounded, "Midas..." she faltered, "There's no need for everyone at the ball to know that I'm a student of Gryffindor, right?"

Sophie was still smiling, "Midas," she continued to order, "it's up to you to make up your mind, and you must dress Miss Bennet beautifully."

The house-elf nodded anyway, "Okay, Miss Bennet, let's add some lace," she rolled her big eyes, and asked again, "Miss Bennet, where are your shoes?"

Mary had only one pair of dancing shoes, and the house-elf shook her bald head when she saw it.

"Miss Bennet, this is not acceptable." Midas still just moved his fingers, and Mary saw a pair of brand new pale gold high-heeled satin shoes where the original shoes were.

"Please trust Midas, Miss Bennet," the house elf blinked her eyes wide. "All ladies in noble families wear this. I saw it when I went out with my wife last time."

"Great, Midas," Sophie exclaimed cheerfully, "I want a pair too."

Then Mary's pocket watch must be turned into a pale yellow gem, and other than that, things seem to be going well.In this way, the next morning, Mary had just entered Sophie's room, when someone knocked on the door again.

It was Vincent, he told Sophie, he heard that their Gryffindor classmate Victor Hastings happened to be in the Lake District for vacation, and asked his sister to invite him to the dance tonight.

"Oh!" Sophie showed a painful expression, "There's no need for that, let's just pretend we don't know he's also in the Lake District, can't we?"

Mary felt that if Sophie Windermere had a suitor, then this person could only be Victor Hastings. He was a year above them and had just graduated this year. To attend the student dance at Hogwarts, was still taken by Victor.But Sophie kept insisting that the relationship between her and Victor Hastings was just an ordinary classmate relationship. Of course, there was nothing wrong with saying that, because he didn't have any further indications.

"I've already told my parents," Vincent showed a sly smile, "If you don't invite people again, do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"Merlin!" Sophie screamed. "What did you say to Mom and Dad?"

"I didn't say anything," Vincent was still complacent, "so Mom and Dad must be surprised why you don't want to invite a normal classmate."

"Dear sister, you can explain to mom and dad yourself!"

Sophie was furious, and after Vincent left, she really asked Mary if there was any good way to get away with it.

"You might as well invite Victor," Mary said bluntly, "We are just classmates, but are you afraid of seeing him?"

"How is it possible!" Sophie flatly denied.Angrily, she walked to the table and pulled out a piece of parchment.

"I hate seeing him," she added emphatically. "He's like a child who doesn't grow up. He doesn't look as old as me."

In all fairness, Victor Hastings was just a lively character, but Mary was wise not to argue with her on this matter.

"Whatever you want, honey," she said deliberately lightly, "hurry up, we still have to get those jewelry!"

Sophie finally wrote a text message and sent it to Elis the owl.Soon she received a joyful reply from Victor Hastings, which brought her down quite a bit.

But Mary thought that if one of the brothers in the Knight family really wanted to pursue Sophie, they might be able to see some clues tonight, with the help of Victor Hastings.
