Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

In the employee canteen located in the factory, under the leadership of Charlie, Lucius and his group were already seated at the rectangular solid wood dining table in the center, waiting for the dinner to begin.

In the huge canteen, the lights seemed a bit dim. Only a large lamp in the center of the head emitted a soft and warm yellow light, illuminating the seats where they were sitting. The rest of the place, although still vaguely visible, was still visible.

It's dark...

"Everyone thought you were dead at first..."

After spending some time, Lucius finally calmed down and slowly exhaled a breath. While pinching his eyebrows, he said in a complicated tone to Lain who was sitting opposite him.

"yes……"

However, after hearing this, compared to Lucius's reaction, Lai En was particularly indifferent, as if the other person was not talking about him at this moment, but was talking about another unrelated outsider.

He did not look into Lucius's eyes, slowly lowered his head, his eyes finally fell on the empty plate in front of him, and continued.

"Regulus Black, who was a Death Eater, is indeed dead. The person sitting in front of you now is Ryan White, the general salesperson of the Muggle area of ​​Charlie's Candy Factory."

Lai En's words fell into the ears of everyone sitting here, and the reactions they aroused were also different.

Charlie didn't speak, with a smile on his lips, and looked around with interest, like an outsider who knew nothing, observing everyone quietly.

There was some inexplicable uneasiness and sadness in Narcissa's expression, her lips were slightly opened, as if she wanted to call out the other person's name again, but she was delayed in saying it because of the other person's words.

Sitting between Ryan and Charlie, Draco looked at his mother, his face still looking a little confused and at a loss.

Lucius's already frowned eyebrows deepened even more. It seemed that he was particularly dissatisfied with Laien's answer at this moment.

Just when he was about to ask further, Charlie finally interrupted the dull and complicated atmosphere at the right time.

"Ding ding ding——"

He picked up the silver table knife and lightly tapped the edge of the porcelain plate, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

When everyone's eyes followed the voice and focused on Charlie, he slowly opened his mouth to give the final definition of the matter.

"alright--"

"As Lain said, Regulus Black is dead. He died on an unknown night more than ten years ago."

"He was either killed by an Auror, died in an accident, or..."

Charlie paused for a moment, glanced at Lai En, who still bowed his head and said nothing, and then continued.

"...died on the road to what we pursue deep in our hearts."

"But no matter what, he is dead. We can remember him, but we cannot beg him to be resurrected. Just like my Muggle area general salesperson said, the person sitting here is called Ryan White!"

At the end of the sentence, Charlie's voice was obviously no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning, and the warning in his tone was almost no longer concealed.

And this finally made Lucius stop wanting to know what happened at that time.

"Um…"

After a moment of silence, he nodded, which was considered a response to what Charlie just said.

"That's right!"

Seeing this, the smile on Charlie's face became friendly again, and his tone returned to its usual gentleness and harmlessness, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.

"I called you here today not for these boring things, but to enjoy this wonderful festival with my family."

After saying that, Charlie turned his head sideways and asked softly to Narcissa beside him.

"Right, sister?"

"Of course."

After hearing Charlie's words, the sadness in Narcissa's heart due to Regulus' incident finally dissipated, and a bright smile appeared on her face again.

She nodded and answered without hesitation.

At this time, Narcissa seemed to suddenly notice something. She turned her head and looked at the other two empty seats at the dining table and asked doubtfully.

"But, Charlie, why are there two empty seats here? Are they specially prepared for them?"

The group of people also looked over and saw that there were still empty seats placed next to Lucius and Lain.

"Oh this...this is for my two remaining family members who haven't arrived yet."

Charlie raised his eyebrows and explained.

Lucius's eyes were incomprehensible. After he eliminated Sirius Black, Bellatrix Lestrange and other people who were unlikely to be present in his mind one by one, he glanced at the people seated and then calmed down.

Asked slowly

"Is there anyone else?"

Just when Charlie was about to answer, a rough and loud voice sounded from outside the cafeteria.

"Sorry I'm late!

!”

Immediately afterwards, the several-meter-high door was pushed inward with a "bang".

Aberforth walked in with a swaggering stride, and in full view of everyone, he came to Laien's side majestically.

The clothes he was wearing at the moment were the same as before. He was still wearing the familiar heavy-washed jacket and jeans. He looked out of place among the well-dressed Malfoy family...

Both Android and Apple are available.】

"Surprise", "doubt", "strange", "examination"...for a time, many expressions appeared in the eyes of the Malfoy family.

But Charlie didn't care. Instead, he stood up with a smile and walked to Aberforth's seat. He patted his shoulder affectionately and introduced him softly.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Aberforth Dumbledore, a relative who gave me selfless help when I was in school, and a teacher I will always remember."

"From the Dumbledore family?"

Lucius's eyes began to change a bit involuntarily, and even his expression became stern unconsciously.

At the same time, he was also thinking secretly in his heart, whether this Dumbledore could appear here, and whether there was any subtle relationship with that Dumbledore... You know, he had never forgotten this meeting from beginning to end.

The essence - that is the Malfoy family's side.

If this is the case, does Charlie Black inviting Dumbledore to the table mean that he has received the recognition and support of Albus Dumbledore!?

If that's the case... maybe this move of mine is not considered a risky move, but may actually be a good move!

While Lucius was still thinking wildly, Narcissa stood up cordially and expressed her greetings to Aberforth.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Aberforth Dumbledore, thank you for taking care of him at that time."
