Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Since the social circle of wizards is relatively closed, even in the UK, the main country where wizards live, their number is only tens of thousands. In this environment, anything that happens in the wizarding world will be extremely serious.

It spread quickly and finally reached the ears of every wizard, not to mention such major events as the third-class Merlin Order being awarded to the famous wizard businessman, Charlie Black.

By the next day, the headlines of newspapers and periodicals, large and small, were all surprisingly consistent. On the photo of a man with a tall and straight body, a handsome face, and smiling in the direction of the camera from time to time, the huge headline clearly stated this news.

It swept the entire British wizarding world.

Even newspapers like The Quibbler, which focused on all kinds of eye-catching tidbits, tacitly put Charlie Black's name on the front page of the newspaper on this day.

However, what is different from other newspapers is that the article written by Xenophilius Lovegood is titled "The Curved-Horned Snorlax Really Exists! - The New Medal of Merlin Winner, Charlie Black Said This"

.

In a sense, it can be regarded as sticking to Xenophilius Lovegood's original intention of standing out from the crowd.

………………………………

In the early morning, the sun rises slowly from the horizon, shining its light on the originally dark world. It dissipates the fog that condensed last night and reflects the dewdrops on the leaves.

It is a rare moment of tranquility in Godric's Hollow. Most of the villagers are still asleep in their dreams. The empty and neat streets are stripped of their black coats little by little by the sun, like children about to wake up, slowly returning to their original state.

vitality.

This is the most famous wizarding village in the world. It is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, the great wizard and founder of Gryffindor House. It is also the first golden squid to be captured by the wizard goldsmith Bowman Wright.

The place where it was forged.

The arrogant "Dark Lord" Voldemort fell here; the "hero" Harry Potter who gave hope was also born here.

Whether it is the countless prestigious pure-blood nobles sleeping in the cemetery and their tombstones now covered with moss, or the obelisk with names engraved on the small square in the center of the village, they are all silently facing the world, over and over again

Talking about its long history again and again. No matter whether anyone pays special attention to this...

But here, in an old wooden house that is not much different from other houses, but a bit warm, the family has already gotten up from bed early. Opening the windows, they began to welcome the arrival of a new day.

This is the Tonks family, an ordinary and ordinary family of three, just like the other villagers living here, there is no difference.

The male host is named Ted Tonks. He is a gentle man with a simple appearance and a kind heart.

His wife is Andromeda Tonks. Like her husband, she is equally kind and gentle, but more optimistic and always has a bright smile on her face.

Their daughter is called Nymphadora Tonks, an eighteen-year-old girl. She just passed the "n.e.w.t." (Ultimate Wizarding Examination) from Hogwarts last year and officially graduated.

Currently, he still lives at home with his parents. At the same time, he is also preparing for the Civil Service Admission Examination of the Ministry of Magic, hoping to become an excellent Auror.

The family has lived here for more than ten years, and has an excellent reputation in the eyes of the surrounding neighbors.

No matter who they are, they are happy to contact them because they always show enthusiasm and kindness to others and are willing to help all friends around them who are in need.

However, few people know that such a seemingly ordinary family has a past that can shock everyone, like a legend in a drama.

This is a story about a brave young man who dares to pursue love, and a graceful lady who is willing to take off her noble coat, and break away from the shackles of the secular world that comforts them.

However, unlike the sadness and regret at the end of such stories, their ending is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Because at this moment they are sitting in the kitchen, sitting at the dining table, taking advantage of the first ray of sunshine in the morning, enjoying the steaming fried eggs and bacon in front of them, looking up at each other, the love between their eyebrows has been baptized by life.

It has not faded at all, but has become stronger over time.

"Go call Nymphadora."

Andromeda took off her apron, wiped a few drops of sweat from her forehead, and signaled softly to her husband beside her.

"Dear! Get up, your mother made bacon and fried eggs, come over and eat!" Ted nodded, walked to the door of the kitchen, and shouted in the direction of Nymphadora's room.

After shouting, he seemed to think of something again, and quickly added another sentence.

"Oh, by the way! The newspaper I ordered should have arrived. You can pick it up for me when you come to the kitchen. Thank you, dear."

After saying this, Ted sat down at his seat again and began to enjoy the food in front of him.

However, not long after, only a "plop" was heard, and a muffled sound came from Nymphadora's room, which seemed to be the sound of something falling and hitting the ground.

"It looks like the kid fell off the bed again."

Hearing the sound, Ted, who was pricking a piece of bacon with a fork and was about to put it in his mouth, paused, then shrugged indifferently, looked at his wife, and said with a smile.

"This child has grown up a lot, and he shouldn't sleep in that small bed anymore."

When Andromeda heard this, she also laughed, and her originally kind and gentle face became even more radiant.

She thought for a while and continued

"If I remember correctly, that bed was made for her when she was twelve years old."

"Yes, it is Parkin's handiwork. To be honest, his craftsmanship is really good. Even after such a long time, it is still so solid."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this...do you remember the time when little Nymphadora was twelve years old and she cried and sent us a letter to take her back from school?"

"Hahaha, I have the impression that at that time it seemed that I was with..."

………………………………

The two of them were eating breakfast while talking about their daughter's childhood. For a while, the kitchen was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

In Nymphadora's room, she was entangled in the quilt and turned over to the ground. She finally opened her eyes faintly, looked at the very familiar roof, squinted her eyes a little more, and couldn't help but squint.

yawn.

Then, she reluctantly climbed up from the ground with the support of her elbows. She shook her head, which was aching from staying up late, put on the clothes she had thrown away randomly, and then opened the curtains of the room to let in the light.

Passing through the window and breaking into it, it filled the originally dark little space.

Facing the sun outside the window, Nymphadora rubbed her still groggy eyes and stretched out to herself.

It wasn't until outside the door that Ted, who noticed she hadn't come out yet again, started calling for the second time, did she finally answer feebly.

"Coming~"

Then he shuffled his slippers and walked to the door. He opened the door and walked out of the house.

In her ears, the voices of her parents chatting were clearly audible, and the content was to enthusiastically detail the stupid things she had done when she was a child. And she was already used to it. She curled her lips and pretended not to hear, and went with the flow.

He walked towards the outer door of the wooden house to get his father's newspaper.

To be honest, Nymphadora could never understand why her parents had so much to talk about every morning.

And from the time I can remember until now, I have never seen the two of them quarreling. The few times they quarreled, they reconciled quickly in the end, as if nothing happened.

Obviously, other people's children are the fruit of love between the two parties, but when they were given to me, they became a bonus of love.

Hey hey hey, I don’t understand, I don’t understand…………

Just as she was thinking, scratching her fluffy golden hair, and opening the door, a white owl was already standing on the edge of the door, quietly holding a newspaper, waiting for Nifa.

Dora's arrival.

"Hey Yellowpaw, how are you today?"

As if she already knew the other person, Nymphadora gave the other person a nickname without permission, and while shouting, she skillfully took the newspaper from the other person's mouth.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu......"

The owl she called Yellow Claw tilted its head and called twice softly, seeming to say hello to Nymphadora, but also seemed to be responding to her greeting just now.

Anyway, no matter what it was, after it finished speaking, it spread its wings, flapped twice, and flew straight into the distance, continuing its unfinished work.

And Nymphadora, who got today's latest "Daily Prophet", also closed the door and focused her attention on it.

"Let me see...what else is interesting today. I hope it won't be as boring as yesterday."

While muttering to herself, she skillfully opened the folded newspaper and began to read the contents.

Suddenly, Nymphadora seemed to notice something. Her originally distracted eyes suddenly regained focus. She looked at the content on the front page of the newspaper and suddenly regained her energy.

"Mother!!!!!!"

She quickly put down the newspaper, took a deep breath, and shouted excitedly in the direction of the kitchen.

………………

In the kitchen, Andromeda and Ted couldn't help but stop their lively conversation, looked at each other, and then both followed the direction of Nymphadora's voice and cast their gaze towards the corridor.

"What's wrong honey?"

Andromeda responded while standing up from her seat for a few minutes.

"Teng Teng Teng!!"

Nymphadora, who was wearing slippers, excitedly held the newspaper and ran from the door to the kitchen in one breath. Then she happily waved the newspaper in her hand at the two of them.

"Look quickly!!! Read today's newspaper."

When Ted saw his daughter's scene, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, shook his head and joked

"What's it about today? About the famous French Magical Circus? Or that weird sister group you like so much is coming to Godric's Hollow for a concert?"

"No, it's not this!" Nymphadora shook her head vigorously and then turned to her mother Andromeda, her eyes sparkling.

"Today's headline in the Daily Prophet is: Charlie Black, the greatest wizarding businessman in British history, has been awarded the third degree of the Order of Merlin!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the kitchen suddenly became silent.

The expression on Ted's face, which was still laughing at his child, was stagnant at first, and then he subconsciously turned his head and looked at his wife.

Andromeda's expression was confused at first, then shocked, and then turned into surprise, with surprise mixed with vague excitement.

Without saying anything else, she stood up from her seat, hurriedly reached out and took the newspaper handed by Nymphadora, opened her eyes wide, and read it carefully.

After reading all the contents in one breath, Andromeda raised her head, turned to look at her lover beside her, and showed a brighter smile than before.

"It's really him!! Look, Ted! It's really little Charlie!!!!"

Ted smiled happily, stood up as well, moved close to Andromeda, and looked at the contents of the newspaper in her hand.

"Look..."

Andromeda's eyes fell on the vivid photo, looking at the extremely familiar face, looking at him wearing a wizard's robe, and looking at the Minister of Magic personally pinning the medal of the Knights of Merlin on his chest,

Seeing him smiling and taking his time...

For a moment, some crystal tears could not help but moisten the eyes and began to circle around the eyes, but the smile on the face could not be suppressed and stretched.

A deep sense of pride surged from her chest and enveloped her whole body like no other.

"Look...he's still so handsome."

Andromeda gently stretched out her finger, pointed at the child in the photo, and said to Ted

Ted also looked at the photo, nodded with deep approval, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, just like when I first met him..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something

"It's just that I remember that his hair was still black..."

On the other side, after delivering the newspaper to her parents, Nymphadora's original excitement dissipated a lot when she saw that they no longer paid attention to her.

Unconsciously, I felt a bit disgusted. I rolled my eyes and curled my lips again.

He slowly sat down at the dining table, picked up his fork, and complained.

"It's like this every time... You are more happy to see the news about uncle than to see me."

She said angrily, picked up half a piece of fried egg, stuffed it into her mouth, and continued

"Since you miss him so much, why don't you go find him? You have to be happy for him here where he can't see you."
