Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

"Come on!

!

!”

Under the leadership of Charlie and Peng Peng, Lai En and the other three stepped out of the car, facing the snowflakes that seemed to be slightly bigger in the night sky. As soon as they opened the door of the factory, they heard a familiar voice.

With excitement and joy, she screamed out his name.

When he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, a real smile appeared on his plain face the next second.

Both Android and Apple are available.】

"Good evening, Russell."

Among the elves who were busy inside and outside, Russell with a signature smile suddenly stopped.

Holding a plate full of candies, he hurriedly trotted toward the three people at the door.

"Oh my God, Lai En, you came so early!"

After arriving in front of Charlie and Lain, Russell seemed particularly enthusiastic because he saw an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, and even his cheeks became particularly rosy.

Peng Peng, who was on the side, saw Russell running towards him, and he was particularly discerning at this moment. He took a step forward and took the huge silver plate from his arms without any explanation.

Then he lifted it up easily with a flick of his hand and said casually

"Then Russell, let's talk first, and I'll go move the things over."

After that, the two short but extremely strong calves took big steps, and together with the other elves, they quickly left here, leaving room for conversation with Charlie and the others.

"Your master's car is very fast."

Following Russell's words just now, Laien simply responded with a smile.

Before the two of them could continue chatting about anything, Charlie on the side asked about business matters.

"How did you go with the thing I gave you, Russell?"

As soon as he heard Charlie's inquiry, Russell, who was still smiling happily, immediately got into work mode.

Not caring about Lai En in front of him, he turned around and took out the notebook he carried with him, raised his chest and raised his head to look at Charlie, and reported quite proudly.

"Report to the master, the food for the dinner has been prepared! Chavcha personally cooked the turkey and cream of mushroom soup..."

As he spoke, he continued to flip through the contents of the notebook with his hands skillfully.

"The drinks are as you wish. I have prepared eggnog, red currant rum and brandy for the guests. As for the gift... I have asked Lala and Toby to wrap it with colored paper and ribbons."

When he mentioned the so-called "gift", there was a rare and uncoordinated pause in his voice. Although it quickly returned to the same state as before, Lai En, who was keen at the side, could not help but feel uncoordinated at this moment.

, Russell's expression was a little different from the usual stiffness.

Although such subtle changes only occur in an instant, what can be seen in them is extremely tangible.

Laien said nothing, raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips became more subtle. At the same time, he became more curious about the upcoming "guest" in his heart.

………

After patiently listening to Russell's report, Charlie did not respond immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the mechanical clock hanging slowly above his head on the steel sky dome composed of dense structures and pipelines.

.

This clock was originally cast specifically for the elves to coordinate their working hours. It is connected to each factory through a sophisticated mechanical system and magic. As long as the hands reach the corresponding time, the bell will ring loudly.

Delivered to every corner of the factory.

But now, even it has been tied with a huge bow by careful elves with alternating red, green and white ribbons. In this strong festive atmosphere, it has lost its original seriousness and coldness.

Instead, it's a bit more soft and playful.

After briefly glancing at the slowly moving hour and minute hands on the dial, Charlie asked

"Have our guests arrived?"

"not yet."

Russell shook his head and said

"The invitation letter you asked me to hand over to the guests says on the hour..."

As he spoke, he also tried to raise his head, glanced at the time on the clock, and then continued

"But it looks like it should be arriving soon."

Hearing this, Charlie's smile brought out a bit of cunning and expectation. After intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Lai En, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, he nodded.

"That's fine...then let's go pick up the guests in person."

After saying that, Charlie turned his head, looked at Lai En beside him, and asked with a smile

"How about it, do you want to go with me?"

Lai En did not speak, but shrugged noncommittally, expressing his "indifferent" attitude.

……………

Then they said goodbye to Russell, and the two of them walked along the aisles that had been decorated with festive colors, towards the location of the factory's fireplace.

From time to time, you can meet one or two elves wearing Christmas assistant costumes and cocked wooden shoes on the road, running and chasing each other with their own gifts, fully enjoying the joy brought by the festival.

Seeing this warm scene, not to mention Charlie, even Laien couldn't help but reveal a soft smile, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When I was at home before, I never knew that elves could be so energetic, so... lively."

When Charlie heard this, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.

"If I remember correctly, Kreacher has been taking care of your family from beginning to end."

"Yes." Lain nodded.

"No wonder."

………………

Soon, walking along the way, the two people finally stopped in the corner of the factory in front of a fireplace that had not been used for a long time.

There are still some incomplete but still tough spider webs hanging on the fireplace. Whether it is the thick layer of ash accumulated on the surface or the fact that the inner wall has no trace of being blackened by the flames, Lain can't help but wonder whether this fireplace is

Since its establishment, it has never been used by anyone...

Seemingly seeing the suspicion in Lain's eyes, Charlie shrugged helplessly and explained lightly.

"After all, you know that there are never any guests in my factory, and most of the guests will come in through the front entrance..."

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to be so dirty, so Charlie raised his hand.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, the magic immediately condensed and spread, turning into light visible to the naked eye out of thin air. He lightly touched the dilapidated fireplace and quickly cleaned it from the inside out.

"Do I know the guest you invited this time?"

Suddenly, looking at the dark fireplace in front of him, Lai En suddenly asked.

"know."
