Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Lain's fingers swept over the stubble on his chin.

Listening to Charlie's answer without hesitation, he thought thoughtfully for a long time, and then continued to ask

"Do you know them as husband and wife, or do you also know their children?"

As soon as these words came out, Charlie couldn't help but be surprised.

He turned around and looked at his cousin who was still rubbing his chin. After about two or three seconds, he said with a smile.

"I remember that I never told you that the guests invited this time are a family...how did you know?"

Charlie's question was tantamount to a disguised admission of Lain's suspicion.

He also laughed. He didn't imitate the other person's imitation and said it frankly.

"Inferred from the conversation between you and Russell just now... 60% inference, plus 40% guess."

Lain continued

"Russell said, according to your wishes, eggnog, red currant rum and brandy are prepared for the guests."

“Eggnog is an alcoholic drink made with eggs and cream, and redcurrant rum is a well-known liqueur that is loved by ladies. As for brandy... I also use it when I get together with my usual employees.

Everyone likes to drink some."

After listening to his explanation, Charlie smiled even more, and his blue eyes also showed a little bit of a different kind of light.

After hearing this, he already understood what Lai En meant, but he did not interrupt him and allowed the other party to continue speaking.

"So, I guess your guests are probably a family. The brandy is for the husband, the red currant rum is for the wife, and finally the eggnog is for the children..."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Charlie with a bit of contentment, as if asking if it was as he said.

Until then, Charlie smiled and nodded, saying

"It's true that we are a family of three... It's just that the husband here prefers to drink red currant rum, and the brandy is what I prepared for my wife."

"Um?

Hearing this, Lai En couldn't help but frown a little.

After a brief silence, something seemed to come to his mind.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to continue talking to Charlie——

"winter--"

"winter--"

"winter--"

………

On the mechanical clock located in the center of the factory, the hands moved slowly to the hourly position along with the operation of the gears. The rich and melodious bell rang as promised, resounding through every corner of the factory, and what Enzheng wanted in the future.

The words he said were forced back into his mouth.

Charlie's smile did not diminish, he lowered his gaze back to the fireplace, raised his chest and raised his head, made a full gesture, and spoke.

】

"Okay, our guests are coming."

Hearing this, Laien had no choice but to swallow the words completely and said nothing more. After taking a deep look at Charlie's exquisite profile and smile, he also turned his head and stared at

The calm and unresponsive fireplace.

But inside, the thoughts just aroused by Charlie's words became more and more active, and the emotions in his eyes became more and more inexplicable...

They were not made to wait too long, and they saw that the fireplace that was silent one second suddenly burst into flames the next moment, rising into flames.

Dark green flames rose into the sky like strange flames, almost breaking through the shackles of the fireplace, and lifted up the clothes of the two people.

When the flames dissipated, leaving only the remaining fly ash wrapped in a few sparks swaying and falling in mid-air, a slender thigh stepped out of the dark fireplace first, and then, the next second, Lucius Malfoy

That familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared in front of Lai En's eyes.

Lucius's face at this moment slowly merged with the image in Lain's memory from ten years ago.

And when he saw the person in front of him, Lai En's expression completely lost the indifference he had before. He subconsciously took half a step back, and even his childish eyes suddenly shrank a bit.

At this moment, the horrific memories imprinted in his memory more than ten years ago seemed to be fully activated, causing him to instinctively reach out and touch the area around his waist.

That was where he kept his wand before he left the magical world.

However, as his hands reached for the familiar place, he finally suddenly realized that he had given up his identity as a wizard at this moment.

Even the laurel wood wand, which had been with him for endless hours, was sealed in the deepest part of the cabinet at home, and had not seen the sun for a long time...

He turned his head and glanced at Charlie, whose smile remained unchanged from beginning to end. Then he took a deep breath, suppressed the chaos and uneasiness in his heart, and quietly moved his feet that had just taken a half step back.

It moved back to its previous position.

On the other side, Lucius, who had just walked out, was also shocked and speechless.

Looking at the man next to Charlie Black who was wearing weird clothes that looked like a Muggle, his heart surged with an overwhelming feeling that was no less than that of Lain, so much so that even the steps he wanted to move forward seemed to be stuck.

It's like living there, unable to step out.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

Behind him, Narcissa, who was blocked by a tall figure and could not see what was going on outside, was even more confused at the moment. She could only call softly from behind and patted Lu.

Hughes's back motioned for him to let himself and Draco come out.

Only then did Lucius react. He nodded hurriedly and took half a step away from the fireplace. However, his eyes never left Li En's body from the beginning to the end.

Of course he knew Lain...or, in other words, knew Regulus Black.

After all, as a blood relative and a subordinate of the Dark Lord, he had a particularly deep impression on this young wizard who was seven years younger than him.

But he never thought... after parting one day more than ten years ago, the two of them would meet again, but it would be at Charlie Black's factory...

Looking at the man in front of him who was a little more weathered than before, Lucius's jaw moved slightly and his pursed lips opened a little... However, after a while, he still didn't call out the name.

"Ray... Regulus? Is it you, Regulus Black..."

In the end, it was Narcissa who spoke up and broke the strange deadlock.

She opened her eyes in astonishment, which were very similar to Charlie's but even more beautiful. She softly called out the name of her cousin, as if in disbelief.

The familiar name and voice made Lain feel a little confused.

After a while, he finally showed a bright smile that he had never seen before, and nodded seriously to the cousin in front of him.

"It's me, cousin Narcissa, long time no see..."

Everyone present showed a smile. Even Lucius, after a few hesitations, swallowed the question that was about to come to his lips again, squeezed out a smile for the time being, and then looked at him with deep meaning.

Charlie.

Draco was the only one, holding his mother's hand with a confused look on his face, looking at his father, then at his uncle, and then his eyes fell blankly on the man he had never seen before.

What's going on...did I miss something?

Did no one notice my new clothes?
