Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Chapter 216: Friendly Mr. Malfoy (reversed from the previous one)

After saying that, Charlie waved his hand, ignored the others, then waved his hands and announced directly:

“Then that’s it—today’s dinner officially begins!

"

Charlie's words were like a switch. As the last word fell from his mouth, it immediately detonated the enthusiasm of the elves.

“ohhhhhhh!

!

!

"

Wild cheers came overwhelmingly, filling every corner of the canteen.

“…”

Lucius Malfoy couldn't help but look at himself, around him, around him, and at the hundreds of elves around him. He looked at the crowds of people, one after another, and they seemed to be completely different creatures from what he usually saw.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of confusion that he had never felt before...

You know, even during the war, Charlie had already started recruiting elves, but after all, the purpose of the House Elf Liberation Front at that time was self-protection.

As a result, many elves did not openly intervene in the battlefield. Most of them were divided into small groups and carried out small-scale resistance against the Death Eaters.

Therefore, everyone basically only had a rough estimate of the number of house elves under Charlie. No one had ever seen with their own eyes what it would be like when they all gathered together.

But now, when the crowds of elves appeared before Lucius's eyes, he could really have a concrete understanding...

At this moment, Lucius's mind seemed to be struck by lightning. When the thunder roared, he seemed to suddenly realize something...

These house elves are natural masters of spellcasting... If they have not been suppressed by their bloodline since ancient times, even a strong and experienced Auror may not be their opponent.

However, in Charlie Black's factory, there are hundreds of house elves who appear as independent individuals...

They have dignity, thought, and ability, but they almost blindly worship Charlie Black and support him as their leader. Their level of madness is even higher than that of the Death Eaters around Voldemort.

And nothing less.

Lucius had no doubt that if one day Charlie wanted to capture the Ministry of Magic, the elves working hard on the assembly line would not hesitate to change their faces and fight for him without fear of death.

All enemies on the way forward...

"Gudong..."

Thinking of this, Lucius's Adam's apple twitched, and while he swallowed his saliva, he seemed to have imagined what the scene would be like.

His eyes changed, and another shuddering excitement rushed from his chest along his spine to his brain.

After a while, when he looked at Charlie again, the other person's smile had turned into something unfathomable in his eyes...

It seems that the Malfoy family made the right choice again this time.

Thinking of this, Lucius let out a long breath, and a smile slowly emerged from the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.

He turned his head and looked at Russell, who was sitting on the seat next to him, dangling his calves and quietly waiting for the food to be served.

Somehow, the face that I wouldn't even look at at first looks particularly cute at this moment.

"Your name is...Russell, right."

Lucius took the initiative to speak.

On the side, Russell was startled by the sudden sound. He quickly turned his head and saw Mr. Lucius Malfoy next to him, looking at him with a gentle expression.

So he nodded quickly, turned around and asked

"It's me, Mr. Malfoy! How can I help you?"

"No, no, no..." Lucius quickly shook his head.

He knew that although the elf named Russell was nominally Charlie's servant, just because he could sit on this table, his status in Charlie Black's heart would definitely not be low.

!Even in a sense, he is probably a powerful confidant like his right-hand man.

When Charlie truly defeats Voldemort, takes over the Ministry of Magic and becomes the leader of the British wizarding world, this mediocre elf will definitely become the director or even the deputy minister...

Rather than wait until later to deal with him and gradually promote the relationship, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity now and take the lead in establishing a good relationship!

Thinking about it, Lucius then took the lead in extending his hand and continued to speak to Russell.

"I just want to get acquainted with you. You don't have to call me Mr. Malfoy from now on. Just call me Lucius."

Facing Lucius' extended hand and the sincerity in his eyes, Russell was dumbfounded for a moment.

He still remembered that not long ago, Master Charlie complained to him in the office about the harshness and arrogance of those pure-blood families, as well as their inherent contempt for the elves as a group.

Therefore, even if he came to the dinner party today and sat at this table, Russell was actually a little nervous, fearing that he would do something wrong and offend the guests invited by Master Charlie.

After all, it doesn't matter to him, even if he is reprimanded by a guest, it is not a big deal. However, if the master loses face in front of other pure-blood nobles due to his own reasons, it will be a huge sin!

!

With this idea in mind, before coming, he specially picked out the cleanest and most decent clothes, fearing that something was wrong and would discredit his master.

However, I never expected that, contrary to what I expected, the guest would be so...kind!

After being stunned for a while, Russell finally came back to his senses and noticed the other person's outstretched hand.

Without any further hesitation, he quickly nodded his head, quickly held the other person's big hand with both hands, and shook it hard twice.

"Okay, Lucius! Nice to meet you!

!”

Russell and Lucius laughed at the same time, laughing very happily, like a pair of close friends.

However, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart...

The next second, a crisp "pop" sound was heard.

The originally empty tabletop suddenly surged with waves of magic.

Countless delicacies, shining with light, appeared in front of everyone one by one.

The huge turkey was steaming from the central disc. The shiny skin could vaguely reflect the person's reflection. The bulging belly was filled with so much delicious food.

The steak is tender, the cake is fluffy, the cream is white, the candy is crystal clear...

Suddenly, the feast has arrived, igniting everyone's enthusiasm!
