Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

In the evening, Charlie stood by the window and looked quietly into the distance. The moon had just risen and the sun had not yet set. The red glow of the setting sun dyed through half of the sky, interspersed with the other half of the night sky, and merged into one at the border.

.forming a natural beauty that makes people sigh.

However, Charlie's mind was not here, he was waiting, waiting for Vivien's arrival.

Because based on the delivery time of previous completion rewards, I believe it won’t be long before Vivien comes back and will deliver his reward this time to Charlie.

To be honest, he was looking forward to the "special magic props" displayed on the transparent template more than the candy snow lemons with added luck this time.

You know, this is something Charlie has never encountered before... so it can't help but arouse some interest in him.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, but after a while, from the distant edge of the sky, a black dot became increasingly clear from the blur, and it was Vivien's figure.

Its wings were flapping, its body was covered with the red glow of sunset, and its feathers were fluttering fluttering in the wind. It looked extremely beautiful, completely unlike that useless bird that just stayed in his office and slept.

Under its body, two powerful claws were firmly grasping a cloth bag.

Without thinking too much, you can guess that what is inside is exactly what Charlie is looking forward to.

"Gu——"

Seemingly noticing Charlie standing by the window waiting for her, Vivien opened her mouth and let out a long, clear cry.

It seemed to be saying hello to Charlie and reminding him to open the window.

Charlie, who had a tacit understanding for a long time, naturally understood. After smiling and waving to the birds in the distance, he opened the window.

The evening breeze broke in through the opened glass window, bringing with it the coolness of autumn and a faint fresh breath, blowing the corners of the scroll on his desk to make a sweet "rustling" sound.

Enjoying the comfort of the autumn breeze blowing on his face, Charlie's face couldn't help but relax a little, and his smile became more genuine.

Looking at Vivien who was getting closer and closer, he gently took half a step back, then twisted his body and gave the other party a path that was enough to buffer him from the window.

Then, in the next second, Vivien, who was unable to stop due to being too fast, turned into a stream of brown light and plunged straight into the office with a "whoosh" sound.

The two wings flapped wildly, trying their best to slow down themselves. After rolling awkwardly on the carpet for a few times, with a muffled "Peng" sound, the head hit the door panel impartially.

"Hahahahaha...silly bird"

And Charlie, who saw this scene, naturally laughed at him mercilessly.

This is not the first time this has happened. Ever since Vivien's figure became more and more plump, every top-down dive-like flight in the air will end in this way.

However, it has no self-awareness at all. Every once in a while, it will try several times on a whim. Even if it ends in failure every time, it still works tirelessly and is addicted to it.

In fact, to be honest, before it gained weight, Vivien's flying skills were so superb that it was enough to amaze everyone of its kind.

But now... don't mention it.

While smiling, Charlie also started to move. He walked leisurely and bent down to pick up the cloth bag that fell on the ground. He did not open it immediately, but put it in his hands to cushion it and estimated the weight.

Hmm...it's so light that it feels like nothing in your hand, as if there is nothing except a roll of drawings.

As if she could hear the unconcealed gloating in his laughter, Vivien, who hit the door, quickly struggled and rolled up her stocky body.

The two claws kept waving in the air and clawing, struggling to find balance.

Even so, it still took a lot of effort to stand up again.

The moment it stood up, it immediately glared at Charlie, and then a series of crisp, melodious, melodious cries poured out of its small mouth that looked like honey.

"唳——Gugu, gah!!"

While cursing, as if he was out of breath, his little paws alternately stepped on the carpet under his feet angrily.

Charlie didn't stop him, as if he was already used to it. He weighed the bag in his hand, walked behind the desk, and sat back on the chair.

After a while, Vivien finally got tired after venting her nonsense, stopped chirping, and began to lower her head and comb her messy feathers as if she was angry.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Charlie also understood the temper of his own bird. He skillfully grabbed a handful of owl food, placed it skillfully on the table, and comforted him softly.

"Clatter" came the sound of food being spilled and colliding with the table.

Vivien's eyes, which had been combing her hair with her head down just a second ago, suddenly lit up, and the anger in her heart completely dissipated. She spread her wings and flew to the desk with a sound, and began to prepare to concentrate on enjoying herself.

The "remuneration" you deserve

………………………………

After settling Vivien, Charlie could finally turn all his attention to the things in his hands.

Open the bag, take out the new drawings, and put them aside.

The most anticipated special magic item finally slipped into his hand - it was a coin made of gold.

Charlie raised his eyebrows and played with this gold coin, which was almost the same as a gold galleung in terms of weight and size, with a somewhat awkward fingertips. He couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.

"So...what is this for?"

He squinted his eyes, took the coin a little closer and carefully observed the pattern and the minute seal marks on it, and murmured to himself.

This coin looks to be quite old. The densely packed spell inscriptions surrounding the outermost edge of the coin cannot be discerned in too many details. Even the pattern in the middle has become quite blurry, and only two lines on the front and back can be vaguely seen.

Old man Zhang's face was kind and gentle on one side, and angry and ferocious on the other.

But even so, through the vivid expression, you can still feel the sophistication and meticulousness of its craftsmanship.

This also convinced him that although this coin was almost the same as a gold Galleon, it was definitely not an equivalent that could be mass-produced and used as currency...

"Maybe..." Charlie seemed to have thought of something, and some thoughts began to come out of his thinking mind.

He closed his eyes and began to try further, controlling his magic power as precisely and subtly as before, and guiding it towards the gold coin.

The next second, as a steady stream of magic power seeped into it and supplied it with energy, the mantras covering the outermost ring of the gold coin began to rotate slowly and regularly in a clockwise direction.

And it itself, accompanied by a faint sound, trembled slightly.

Although he did not open his eyes, Charlie could clearly feel the small changes in the gold coins between his fingers, and the magic power he output was being continuously absorbed by the other party, and immediately there was a hint of joy on his face.

No matter what, at least this is the right direction!

So, he calmed down and continued to relax the magic power of supply.

Sure enough, the gold coin trembled more and more violently, and a faint light began to seep out from the inside out. The traces that had been corroded by the years were miraculously filled in neatly due to the infiltration of magic power, and they suddenly looked brand new.

Revealing its original exquisite form...

The magic power inside the gold coin was already full, swallowing up about a quarter of Charlie himself, and then stopped absorbing it.

So he stopped, slowly opened his eyes, raised his brows, looked at the incredible scene in front of him, and at the same time waited for what would happen next.

You know, a quarter of Charlie's magic power, although it doesn't sound like a lot, is actually comparable to the entire amount of most adult wizards!

A magic prop that requires so much magic power to be officially activated makes Charlie even more curious. What is its use?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a "buzz" sound and the gold coin started to move on its own.

Caught off guard, he took his hand out, drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and finally landed on the table with a "pop".

The side that appeared in front of Charlie was the angry side of the old man.

The old man's eyes suddenly shined, and the expression on his face became more and more vivid, as if he would come to life in the next second and struggle to get out of the coin.

Charlie's breathing stagnated for a while, and his eyes widened a little when he looked at it.

Even Vivien stopped eating, raised her head, and couldn't help but look over.

However, nothing happened. Soon, the light in the old man's eyes faded, and the gold coins returned to their original appearance, dim and blurry.

And when Charlie carefully picked it up again and examined it in his hand, he was shocked to find that the magic power inside had completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind...
