Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Chapter 231 Dumbledore’s Changes

"Master Charlie, are you awake yet?"

Vivien's temper came and went quickly. After finishing eating the salt-baked rat, she returned to her original state, formed a ball in her special position, and started her leisurely

Take a nap.

And just when Charlie put down the letter and was thinking about why Principal Dumbledore called him over, Russell's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Already awake."

Charlie stopped thinking, subconsciously looked up in the direction of the door, and then responded.

The next moment, the door opened, and Russell ran in excitedly with a pile of documents of unknown origin, his eyes shining with joy, as if he had lost his usual calmness.

His two calves were flying quickly, and he didn't slow down until he reached the desk. With a "clatter", the document in his hand was placed in front of him.

Before Charlie could ask, Russell, who couldn't wait to ask, took the lead and spoke loudly with excitement and admiration that could not be ignored.

"Master!! "Wind-sniffing Violet Candy" has created a new sales record. Now my desk is covered with letters from various candy dealers, and without exception, they all want to order more quantities.

candy!!"

After saying this, as if he was still afraid that Charlie wouldn't believe it, Russell hurriedly took out more than half of the letters from his back and waved them twice in front of Charlie. By some estimates, there were already twenty letters.

.

Vivien was woken up from Russell's noise. To express her dissatisfaction, she flapped her wings twice, raised her furry body, and then used her claws to throw the documents in front of her on the carpet according to the old rules.

Fortunately, Charlie saw its plan clearly and took action in time to stop the opponent.

"Gu————" Seeing that she failed, Vivien stopped continuing. She just changed the direction, raised her butt towards Russell, and continued to sleep.

Charlie listened to Russell's words and picked up the reports and sales record documents on the table. He raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but in his eyes, there was no surprise and excitement like Russell's. After all, in his opinion,

, before "Sniffing the Wind's Violet Candy" was launched, its positioning was always to compete with the original Charlie Factory's flagship product "Hazelnut Chocolate". It would be strange if it did not have such impressive results, so he has already had it

Sufficient mental preparation.

After just looking at it for a few times, he put the file down again and asked a few questions.

“How much inventory is left in the warehouse?”

"Uh... there's still half of it."

"Inform the team leader on the assembly line to temporarily put down the production of ice plum sweets, strawberry star diamonds, and licorice sticks, and focus on the production of "Sniffing Wind's Violet Candy" for the past two days... By the way, contact the material supplier and order more.

Supplies raw materials for emergencies."

"Uh, yes... okay, I understand Master Charlie."

While Russell was excitedly writing down notes in his notebook, he nodded hurriedly to make it clear.

"By the way, I'm going to Hogwarts this afternoon."

Just when Russell remembered to work hard, Charlie's instructions came into effect again, causing him to be slightly stunned and stop the pen in his hand.

But then, Russell quickly reacted and continued to ask, "Do you need Russell to prepare anything?"

After thinking for a moment, Charlie said, "Just follow the same routine every year."

"Okay, got it!"

…………………………………………

Perhaps due to time issues, when Charlie arrived at Hogwarts, he did not meet Harry and Ron. Even the little wizards did not meet a few. The only ones he met were the little Slytherin snakes.

, after seeing him, they just stopped and watched him go upstairs as if they were seeing an idol, not even having the courage to say hello.

"Knock knock knock"

Standing in front of the principal's office door, Charlie knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, can I come in?"

In the office, that familiar and gentle voice soon sounded, speaking with simplicity and a smile.

"Ha, of course! Charlie, I was just waiting for you."

Hearing this, Charlie also smiled, no longer hesitated, and pushed the door open.

"Merry Christmas!!"

As soon as the door opened, I heard Principal Dumbledore shouting:

But what he saw in front of him made Charlie slightly stunned.

His eyes widened unconsciously, and he hesitated at the door. Looking at the old man sitting behind the desk, he didn't know if he should go in for a moment.

"What are you still doing, my child?"

Under his thick and white eyebrows and beard, Principal Dumbledore is still as energetic as ever, not at all like an old man who is over a hundred years old.

"Uh...Okay, Principal Dumbledore."

Dumbledore's voice pulled him back from his surprise. Although the expression on his face calmed down, his eyes were still full of vague weirdness.

It wasn't until he sat on the chair that he reorganized his tone and asked in a low voice in a tactful and yet polite tone: "Principal Dumbledore, you are really well... You seem to be in good health recently.

good?"

"Ha, yes, I feel the same way."

He seemed to be very happy with Charlie's words. He nodded and said in agreement. As he spoke, his hand subconsciously took out a piece of chocolate that had been broken into pieces from the drawer and skillfully stuffed it into his mouth.

"..." Charlie was indifferent, and unconsciously glanced at the candy vending machine in the corner behind Dumbledore. Sure enough...it was empty at the moment.

He continued to organize some words and tried to ask

"So, have you noticed anything wrong recently?"

"Is there any?" Principal Dumbledore frowned slightly, and after some thought, he said, "It seems that there is no other problem except that my robe suddenly became a little ill-fitting."

That's the problem!!!!

Looking at Principal Dumbledore in front of him who looked almost as fat as Aberforth, Charlie shouted in his heart.

At this moment, he was reflecting in his mind whether the candies sent here over the years were too much, which caused Principal Dumbledore to lose his painting style.

of necessity.

However, it was obvious that Principal Dumbledore did not realize that there was anything wrong with him now, and he told Charlie the reason for summoning him here this time.

"That's it Charlie..."

As Dumbledore spoke, he opened the drawer, slowly took out the Sorcerer's Stone wrapped in parchment, and placed it on the desk in front of him.

"I hope you can help me return this magic stone to my old friend Nico Flamel."
