Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

"Hi! Good afternoon, Russell!"

Kobe walked out of the workshop with his carefully prepared lesson plan.

Subconsciously, he tugged on the tie around his neck, and when he was thinking about where to find those Muggles, he happened to meet Hagrid, who had just brought them to the factory.

Hagrid seemed very happy. He waved his hand, then squinted his eyes. After trying hard to identify, he called out Russell's name to Kobe...

But this really cannot be blamed on Hagrid...because in the eyes of humans, these elves do all look the same.

And just as it happened, Kobe was dressed so formally today, and even held a notebook under his arm. His appearance was surprisingly consistent with Russell's role as Charlie's office secretary.

Under such conditions, except for Charlie, who has been dealing with the elves, probably very few people can clearly separate them, so it is not surprising that Hagrid mistook the two...

Although he understood, Kobe couldn't help but his face stiffened, and he had no choice but to speak.

"Hello Hagrid... I'm sorry, I'm not Russell. My name is Kobe. We may have never met, but I often hear Mr. Black mention you."

After saying that, he took the lead in extending his right hand and smiled to show respect.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry."

Under Hagrid's thick eyebrows, his eyes couldn't help but widen a bit. After taking a closer look at the elf in front of him, he hurriedly bent down, held the other person's little hand, and expressed his apology.

"It doesn't matter……"

After the two men shook their hands in the air for a while, Kobe pulled them back again. His face returned to its original calmness.

He tilted his head slightly, looking past Hagrid's huge body and looking at the Muggles behind him.

After raising his finger to indicate, Kobe continued to ask

"Are they the new employees Mr. Black hired this time?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Hagrid laughed heartily twice, straightened his back again, stretched out his hand as big as clay, and patted the back of the first person following him.

Although he had tried his best to contain his strength, it was probably still too terrifying for ordinary people.

Kobe, who was standing not far away, even felt that he vaguely heard the muffled sound coming from the poor guy's body.

"Is it an internal injury..." Kobe thought involuntarily in his mind.

However, before Hagrid finished speaking, he took back his hand after patting it twice and continued.

"According to what Charlie told me, I brought back all the Muggles in the Leaky Cauldron. Don't worry, none of them were exposed."

"Thank you so much." Kobe nodded. After looking around at everyone, he took out the lesson plan he had kept under his arm and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that everything was developing perfectly, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Please give them to me next! Mr. Charlie should be waiting for you in his office now. Come over quickly."

"Thanks a lot!"

Hagrid didn't say much. Anyway, what Charlie asked him to do was just bring them to the factory. As for the rest, it was their internal secret, and he had no interest in it.

Instead of wasting any more time here, it’s better to go find Charlie quickly. Maybe he has some candies that he hasn’t eaten yet, which he can share with us.

So, after the handover was completed, without any hesitation, Hagrid took a big step and walked straight towards the workshop, heading to Charlie's office according to the previous address.

…………………………

Along the way, the Muggles headed by Dursley were looking around unconsciously.

Ever since they left the Leaky Cauldron, uncontrollable exclamations could be heard in the team.

"Look! Those wizards...the clothes they wear look like they are made of linen."

"Ah! Owl! Look, they actually sell owls! Isn't that a second-class national protected animal?"

"I remember I came here once to accompany my children to prepare the necessities for Hogwarts... It seems to be called Diagon Alley, right? But at the time we only visited bookstores, clothing stores, and...

That place that sells wands."

………

………

Listening to the lively discussions among his companions, Dursley was so surprised that he was speechless... Looking at the bizarre surroundings, everything seemed like a wonderful dream.

This was different from the wizarding world he had imagined before. In his previous mind, there was no such bustling commercial street.

Wizards should all be like mice, hiding in dilapidated wooden houses that are about to be scrapped, using kerosene lamps to watch out for being discovered while casting vicious and insidious spells...

Dursley raised his head, and the sun was shining brightly. The young wizards riding broomsticks passed over their heads with laughter, making him smack his lips involuntarily, and subconsciously said to himself.

"If I had known it was so interesting, when the little bastard went to that Hogwarts, I should have followed him as a guardian to take a look..."

However, mid-sentence, he immediately woke up and quickly covered his mouth. He was frightened and confused for a moment. He seemed to be confused as to when he was brainwashed by those evil wizards.

It was obviously so that Dudley could become a human again and he endured the humiliation and came to work at the evil Charlie Black Factory. However, before he even reached the door of the factory, he had almost forgotten his original intention and sunk in here... Tsk, cunning wizard,

It's really terrible.

But as Hagrid continued to move forward and led them through the fireplace to the factory, the expectations everyone had had were extinguished in an instant.

Why? Because this place is so modern... Whether it's the simply designed factory buildings, the smooth cement floors, or the green flowers and plants, it doesn't look like the Wizarding World from any aspect.

The buildings are no different from those factories in the Muggle world.

However, soon, with the appearance of Kobe, everyone's emotions were mobilized again.

The disappearing whispers resounded again.

"Look! It's the magical creature on the job posting. It's so magical!"

"He is so small, but he has such big ears and eyes. He is so cute."

"I know. I have learned about this creature before. If I remember correctly, it should be a branch of Goblin and live in caves."
