Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

"Mr. Black, are we going this way?"

"Mr. Black, how many times have you been to Muggle communities?"

"Mr. Black, are you bored? How about I sing a song for you... They taught me how to sing it when we were in the pub last time."

……………

Probably because it was his first time driving for Charlie, in the driver's seat, Peng Peng's mouth hadn't stopped since he got in the car. While stepping on the accelerator to speed up the car, he would turn his head from time to time and look towards the person in the back seat.

Charlie glanced at it, and then excitedly talked about some completely meaningless topics.

"…………"

Charlie closed his eyes and slowly lay back. Leaning on the exquisite pure leather backrest, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted agreeing to Peng Peng's request. You know, this place is at least a few hours away from London, where Ryan is located.

If he keeps talking like this during this period of time, it will definitely be a big disaster for Charlie...

"well"

Helpless, after sighing, Charlie had no choice but to turn his head away, no longer paying attention to Peng Peng, but looked at the scenery outside the car window along the way.

The heavy snow that was still falling in the morning has now stopped. People with cheerful smiles walked out of their rooms and strolled on the sidewalk. Along with the street signs and special decorations printed with Christmas logos, a group of people formed.

The subtitle evokes a harmonious and comforting scene in people's minds unconsciously.

Even Charlie couldn't help but smile slightly on his lips through the glass.

"Oh my god...what an amazing muggle"

Seeing that Mr. Black stopped paying attention to her words, Peng Peng didn't mind. Instead, he followed his gaze and looked out the window, and then couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Black, in my opinion, these Muggles are more amazing than the wizards in the magical world."

"Um?"

Charlie raised his eyebrows and glanced at Peng Peng in surprise.

After Peng Peng sighed, he seemed to remember that Mr. Black sitting behind him was also a wizard, so he quickly turned around and added another sentence.

"Except, of course, Mr. Black! You are the greatest in the world, unmatched by all!"

However, Charlie didn't care about his rashness. After all, as an old man who had been with him for ten years, he knew this guy's character of not talking too much about his brain.

He shook his head, but became a little more interested in what Peng Peng said just now, and asked casually

"Why do you think that?"

Hearing Mr. Black take the initiative to talk to him, his energy immediately rose again. After slapping his ears back and forth a few times, he took over the conversation and said happily.

"Look -"

Peng Peng stretched out his hand and pointed to the brightly colored Christmas tree outside and the tall buildings in the distance.

"I heard Dursley say... when he was a child, the place he lived in was still a village similar to other wizard gathering places. At that time, he could not see so many high-rise buildings, street lights or shops...

"

"continue."

Charlie's expression was calm and he couldn't see any other emotions. He just nodded slightly thoughtfully and then said to Peng Peng.

"As a result, you see... In just a few decades, the entire Muggle world seems to have changed!"

Peng Peng danced with joy as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with incredible surprise and unabashed envy.

It can be easily seen that he is not looking for words because Charlie has nothing to say, but he truly and sincerely believes that these weak creatures without magic are far more amazing than they seem.

Decades, for a Muggle, may be more than half of a life. But for an elf with a life span of more than two hundred years, it is not that long.

For the British magical world with hundreds of years of history, it can only be said to be a blink of an eye...

However, in this inconspicuous time, Muggle society has experienced countless evolutions and changes, and the frequency of updates is staggering.

This can't help but make people feel confused... If it continues at this rate, it won't be long before the magic that wizards are proud of will lose its original deterrence in the eyes of Muggles and become a ridiculous toy.

.And when that time comes, they will have to re-emphasize their attitude towards these large numbers of neighbors...

"You know what, Peng Peng."

Charlie's eyelids drooped, he no longer looked out the window, but changed into a comfortable position and leaned on the leather cushion, and then said quietly.

"Dumbledore told me something similar not long ago."

"real!?"

This was really an unexpected surprise for Peng Peng. He immediately widened his eyes, turned his head suddenly, and confirmed with excitement.

"You mean, Albus Dumbledore once said similar things!?"

Albus Dumbledore's name is very popular among the elves in the factory.

Because almost most of the elves around Charlie Black today, including Kobe, were kidnapped by him at Hogwarts. Therefore, Albus Dumbledore's kindness and respect have been extremely

Big publicity.

It also makes the elves believe that in the magical world, there is still a kind of wizard who will face their existence and treat them as independent individuals.

Because of this, even Peng Peng, who was full of ambiguity and dissatisfaction with wizards, couldn't help but be excited when he heard Charlie's words.

It was as if he had a subtle connection with that great person to some extent.

Charlie smiled and nodded, then took a deep breath and continued

"I also thought about this problem at the time... Why are Muggles, despite being humans, able to develop at a terrifying speed, while wizards still live a life similar to that of the previous generation, or even the previous generation?

"

"Then...have you thought of it?"

Peng Peng couldn't help but let off the accelerator a little, blinked, and asked curiously

"magic."

His answer was concise and to the point, he only gave one word and didn't say anything more.

And after he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth were raised a little wider, and the smile on his face became even wider.

It was a smile full of irony. Maybe if it was Russell, he would understand what Charlie meant. But in Peng Peng's eyes, it just felt inexplicable and unfathomable, and he didn't understand anything else.

"Magic?...Sorry, Mr. Black, I don't understand."

Peng Peng scratched his head, looked at Charlie who didn't know what he was laughing at, and could only ask again dryly.

"You will understand later."
