Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

This... what is this? A flash of light, a flash, a turn, and a quarter of my magic power is just gone!?

Charlie's expression became weird. He picked up the gold coin, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

Still a little unwilling, he looked up and down several times, trying to figure out what happened.

However, the reality is so cruel. The magic power is gone, the gold coins have returned to their original appearance, and everything seems like nothing happened.

"Guguchigugu..."

Vivien half-closed her eyes, stood on the table, fluttered her feathers leisurely, and then made two short and mocking calls to Charlie. Then she ignored him, lowered her head again, and began to continue.

Disposed of the uneaten delicacies.

"..." Charlie pursed his lips, and the expression on his face changed in complexity, and finally turned into helplessness.

Unexpectedly, things have really turned around. One day, I will be laughed at by Vivian.

While lamenting the deterioration of the world, Charlie shook his head, took out a piece of snow lemon from his coat pocket, and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was something he put in casually when he got up to deal with Umbridge at the door. It could just be used at this moment to help relieve some of the depression in his heart.

Feeling the sweet and sour thick filling in his mouth spread to every taste bud on his tongue in an instant, Charlie's spirit also improved a lot.

I just don’t know whether this is an additional buff to concentration brought by Snow Lemon or its psychological effect.

………………………………

The gold coins were still flipping between his fingers. Compared with the unfamiliarity at the beginning, he became more and more proficient in just ten minutes.

While tasting the candy in his mouth, Charlie also chose to cheer up again and began to continue thinking.

Charlie didn't believe that the system would just throw something good-looking, good-for-nothing, and useless at all for no reason just to make him happy.

After all, he has a good foundation of cooperation in the past decades, so he is still very confident on this point.

So that being the case... this possibility is ruled out.

The rest is nothing more than that the way you use it is wrong, or there are some special prerequisites for this magic item.

Think carefully about the whole process of the gold coin triggering just now.

After flying out of his hand, it landed on the table, revealing the old man's angry face. Finally, the face on the gold coin was activated, but nothing happened.

In this case... what if it's the other side? Perhaps the purpose of this gold coin lies in a simple "coin guessing" ritual.

If this ritual consumes so much magic power just once, according to the principle of conservation, the effect it brings should be equal to it in a certain sense.

So what about the prerequisites? Do you still lack any prerequisites to impose a prerequisite for the activation of this gold coin...

Just when he felt that the thoughts were gradually clearing up in his mind. Unconsciously, he became more and more immersed in it, peeling off the cocoons.

As if he was about to figure out the true purpose of this gold coin, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.

"Come in..."

Charlie knew who the visitor was, so he didn't pay much attention and didn't care. He just glanced at the door and continued his analysis.

The office door opened, and Russell walked in, holding an exquisite dress that had been folded.

It seemed that in just half a day, he had really prepared the clothes for Charlie to wear the day after tomorrow.

"Owner!"

Russell seemed to be very happy, holding out his chest as he walked inside, as if he had done something great.

"Look! How does this dress look?"

He stood still in front of the desk, spread out his hands, and unfolded the folded dress. At the same time, he raised his arms high and tiptoed to show Charlie the full picture.

"This dress is the one that was specially customized when you were invited to the Aibo family gathering a few months ago... Although it is not the latest, in terms of style, style, or other aspects, in my opinion,

They are very suitable for the scene of the medal ceremony! It can definitely highlight your noble and elegant temperament and become the focus of the audience!"

Russell's words were full of confidence, but Charlie's eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and his original thoughts could no longer continue at all, and the coins that were constantly flipping between his fingers suddenly stopped.

Becoming the center of attention... there was a high probability that he would become the center of attention. However, he did not agree with the scene which was very suitable for the medal ceremony and to highlight his own temperament.

How should I put it, in Charlie's eyes, this dress is too..."gorgeous".

The accessories on the dress were extremely complicated, and each one was sparkling and dazzling. If he could barely accept the dress Russell prepared for him when he went to attend the Hogwarts opening ceremony before, then this time

, which is true resistance.

It felt to Charlie like the beautiful tail feathers of a male peacock, which had no use other than being extremely luxurious and used to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Imagine... in front of so many respected old wizards in the British wizarding world, including Principal Dumbledore, and several well-known media outlets, wearing such a sparkling luxurious dress, I walked forward arrogantly.

Go, accept the awarding ceremony with a smile on your face, and pin the Merlin Third Class Medal on your chest.

Charlie can be sure that this will definitely be an unprecedented disaster... The next day, the headlines of various newspapers will also tacitly read, "Charlie Blake wore a luxurious dress at the investiture ceremony, made a high-profile appearance, and secretly provoked those present.

The Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic."

Don't doubt whether this is too exaggerated. He dares to vouch for it. Those reporters who are not too concerned about the excitement are eager to write this headline more exciting and add more fuel and jealousy to the content!

………………………………

Refocus your attention from the imagined picture in your mind back to the present moment.

"How about it! Master! Do you also think this is a very suitable dress!?"

Looking at Russell's face that was full of expectation, he frowned slightly and pondered for a moment with a little embarrassment.

He politely warned, "Russell, don't you think this is a bit too... eye-catching?"

Russell was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at the dress in his hand, and shook his head as expected.

"Is it eye-catching? I think it's okay! After all, master, aren't you the only protagonist of this award ceremony? Isn't it right to dress to distinguish yourself from others..."

Listening to the other party's remarks, Charlie couldn't help but feel a headache. Just when he was about to patiently explain to Russell the difference between the investiture ceremony and the dance, the mouth he had just opened suddenly stopped.

For a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the gold coins in his hand again.

"Maybe... this can be considered a prerequisite?"

Charlie's eyes lit up, and he only heard a "ding" sound.

The gold coin that was originally sandwiched between his two fingers was bounced into the air, flipping over and over. And then it gradually began to shine with light.

At the same time, unlike his act of actively transferring magic power to it just now. The moment the gold coin was bounced, Charlie immediately felt that his body seemed to have become an opened valve, and the magic stored in it was

The magic power was still extracted from it wantonly and transformed into its energy source.

After disappearing for about a quarter again, the flipped gold coin finally landed in Charlie's hand.

The upward side of the gold coin shows the old man's cheerful face.

The old man's expression became more plump, his eyes glowed softly, and Charlie could feel the muscles in even the smallest brows.

“Buzz!!!!”

The gold coin vibrated in the palm of his hand. Then, in the next second, the magic power just stored in it was instantly released, appearing in a ring shape and sweeping around.

Russell, who originally looked away as the gold coins were tossed, suddenly paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal, just like an ordinary moment of distraction.

However, when he came back to his senses, the natural expression on his face showed some hesitation. When he turned to look at the clothes in his hands, his expression was no longer as satisfied as before.

"It seems... it's indeed a bit too luxurious."

Russell pursed his lips, seemingly understanding what Charlie meant, looking up and down at the clothes and then folding them again in frustration.

"If this is the case, I will choose a suitable one again! Master, I will be back soon!"

After saying that, without waiting for Charlie to react, he hugged the dress, rekindled his enthusiasm, and hurried out of the office.
