Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory
Chapter 17 Invitation
Charlie pursed his lips, opened the letter, and started reading from the first line.
"To my dear brother"
"It's been a long time since you last met me..."
"A few days ago, Lucius and I went to the house where we lived together when we were young and visited our father, Signus."
"I originally wanted to hear your recent news from him, but he told me that since that incident... you have never been back here."
"When I heard what he said, my heart felt as if something had cut it, and I couldn't help but feel hurt."
"I can't help but think of the days when we lived together and played together when we were children. It's really nostalgic."
After reading this, Charlie paused for a moment and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
He didn't remember any good memories of playing with Narcissa... When he was a child and didn't have a wand, he had to be repaired by her.
"Who would have thought that the brothers and sisters who originally lived together are now scattered in different directions..."
"I know that there may be some misunderstandings between you and Lucius. But time can always take away everything... Now that more than ten years have passed, I think we should always find a chance to resolve your misunderstandings."
"It just so happens that your nephew, Draco Malfoy, will soon go to Hogwarts to study as a freshman. I have always told him your deeds in school as stories. Although I have never met, but
But he admires you very much and hopes to become a successful wizard like you in the future."
"So, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to stay at Malfoy Manor for a few days. By the way, you can attend Draco's college entrance exam soon, and by the way, you can also resolve the original misunderstanding between the two families."
"Of course, if you want."
…………
Charlie read the letter word by word quietly, and his eyes finally stopped at the signature at the end of the letter.
Narcissa Malfoy.
"hiss"
He frowned, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and put the letter on the table.
"Narcissa, Lucius, and...Draco Malfoy"
For a moment, there was an indescribable complexity in his heart.
He simply pressed his temples out of habit, closed his eyes slightly, lay down on the seat and began to think aimlessly.
Russell was carefully observing Charlie's expression from beginning to end.
Seeing the master like this, he naturally knew that he should not disturb the master at this moment.
So, he carefully picked up the dinner plate on the long table, tiptoed, and silently exited Charlie's office.
The door closed again with the friction of the door axis. But Charlie still had his eyes closed, as if he didn't know that Russell had left, or in other words, he didn't care if he left.
Because at this time, all his thoughts had been disturbed by this unexpected letter.
Memories related to Lucius and Narcissa kept flashing through his mind.
It made him confused...

Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor
The well-designed garden is like a gorgeous laurel crown, guarding the central mansion, which is the most dazzling jewel.
After the exquisite wrought iron door is opened, it feels like passing through layers of clouds and mist surrounding it.
When everything suddenly becomes clear, what comes into view is the fountain spewing out the beautiful water.
On top of it, a lifelike sculpture stands majestically. A man with a reserved and proud face raises his chin and looks into the distance, as if he has endless ambitions.
White peacocks with bright feathers roam freely in the courtyard, crowing softly or stretching out their tail feathers.
Inside the mansion, the magnificent and luxurious decoration can scare away anyone who steps inside for the first time.
Whether it is extremely luxurious furniture, a marble-inlaid fireplace, or a gold-rimmed mirror... etc., etc., each piece taken individually is a luxury item that an ordinary wizard cannot exchange for after years of hard work.
.
Not to mention the large entrance hall, the portraits of past generations hanging on the walls, and the luxurious carpets covering the entire mansion.
The owner of the mansion seems to be like the white peacock in the garden, proudly displaying his luxurious feathers to show his extraordinary wealth and status.
However, what people don't expect is the current owner of this manor.
The "peacock" who should have always been proud was rarely uneasy.
Lucius was sitting on the sofa, his lips tightly closed and his eyes looking deeply in one place. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
And his wife, Charlie's sister, Narcissa, was sitting aside, looking at her husband at this moment, she stretched out her hand to cover Lucius's hand, and said softly:
"What are you still worried about?"
Lucius's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head and looked at his wife. He couldn't help but exhale and shook his head.
He turned his palm over and gently held Narcissa's delicate white hand. Lucius's voice was still as calm as ever. But it didn't have the unique arrogant tone he usually had when facing other people.
"I'm just not sure...if you're doing the right thing."
After saying that, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and continued.
"Before you wrote that letter, you should have asked me first, at least..."
Before he could finish his words, Narcissa interrupted him with "at least"
"Lucius..." Narcissa looked at her husband and softly called out his name.
"He is my brother...and you are my husband."
Lucius listened to her words and seemed to understand what she meant. He opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
"I know you were hostile to him during the war more than ten years ago...but that was also more than ten years ago. Moreover, it was Fu..."
"Narcissa!" Lucius spoke quickly, interrupting the name the other party was about to blurt out.
"...Bellatrix was imprisoned in Azkaban, and Andromeda was also expelled. My father Signus was already dying, as if he might die at any time. Charlie was probably my
The only relative in the Black family... I just hope that Charlie can be on good terms with our family again."
Narcissa continued
"And didn't you say... Cornelius Fudge attaches great importance to him? If you can really reconcile, maybe you can have a better development in the Ministry of Magic."
Lucius lowered his head and remained silent. He did not speak. Only his slightly heavy breathing let Narcissa know that he had listened to what he said.
"besides……"
Narcissa held Lucius's hand, sat next to him, and said softly
"Draco really admires him..."
