Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

In the principal's office, Hagrid sat obediently on a high wooden stool, carefully holding a small white porcelain tea cup in his palm.

"So...actually, Principal Dumbledore, did you always know that Charlie was learning dueling with Mr. Bartender?"

Hagrid's eyes widened, as if he had received some terrible news, and his heart was shaken for a moment.

"In fact..."

Dumbledore said calmly, while picking up the teacup on the desk that was the same size as Hagrid's hand, and took a careful sip.

"Actually, I was a little worried at first."

"really……"

Upon hearing this, Hagrid's originally widened eyes returned to their original size. He nodded hastily to express his agreement.

"This approach is really too dangerous... You know, it's not a joke for a young wizard who is still at school to run out of Hogwarts so easily..."

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about that."

Dumbledore put down the tea cup, shook his head, then frowned slightly and smacked the taste in his mouth.

Then he bent down and skillfully took out two sugar cubes from the half-open drawer under the desk and threw them in.

With a "pop" sound, the sugar cube was submerged into the amber black tea liquid that was still exuding a little heat, causing ripples of water. Dumbledore's slightly frowned brows relaxed again and continued.

"What I'm worried about is whether Albusford's ugly and vulgar dueling habits will lead to Charlie being corrupted..."

On the liquid surface of the black tea, as the sugar cubes submerged, small and uneven bubbles emerged from the bottom.

Dumbledore drooped his eyes, stretched out his hand and simply drew a circle from above the black tea. The black tea began to be affected by the invisible force, stirring slowly, forming a vortex in the middle.

"Fortunately, Charlie was not led astray by him...at least his dueling posture is the second most beautiful I have ever seen."

While saying this, Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face for no reason.

Hagrid opened his mouth. For a moment, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the principal's out-of-the-box thinking. He could only close his mouth again, lowered his head and picked up the handle of the tea cup, and silently took a sip of his own black tea.

Suddenly, just as the two people were quietly enjoying the quiet atmosphere of the morning and the warm sunshine coming in from the glass window, a brief and powerful knock on the door broke the original peace.

"Knock knock knock..."

Dumbledore raised his head, raised his eyebrows, looked at Hagrid and said with the same smile.

"Look...I was talking about him just now, but he has already arrived."

Hearing this, Hagrid subconsciously twisted his neck, looked in the direction of the wooden door, and then grinned.

He lowered his head, glanced at the bottomed tea cup in his hand, put it aside casually, then stood up, wiped his beard in confusion, and said to Dumbledore

"It's time for me to go... Yaya's lunch isn't ready yet, I plan to cook something for him first."

As Dumbledore's confidant, although he usually doesn't like to use his brain very much, Hagrid still has this point of vision.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Charlie and Dumbledore will definitely talk about some important topics in this office later... If not, Dumbledore would naturally not need to go to such great lengths to invite Charlie to Huo Huo.

Here comes Gwartz.

Sure enough, Dumbledore did not reject Hagrid. He picked up his cup of black tea again, nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile

"In this case, I won't keep you. After all, in your eyes, there is probably nothing more important than your own magical animal."

"Of course!" Hagrid walked towards the door with a bit of a happy blush on his face.

"There are no cuter little guys in the world... They are like my children, a part of my life!"

After saying that, Hagrid naturally opened the door to the principal's office.

"Hi, good morning, Hagrid."

Outside the door, Charlie twisted his neck and lazily greeted Hagrid who was about to walk out.

It can be seen that he has only just woken up.

Due to the indulgence he had with Severus last night, even after he had fallen asleep, the stamina of the firewhiskey still made his head feel hazy and aching.

As for Severus... Needless to say, he had already paid a heavy price for his impulsive comeback last night, as he was extremely drunk. He is still lying on the bed in Charlie's room... Charlie can only

Hopefully he'll wake up before lunch.

"Oh, Charlie!" Due to yesterday's conversation, Hagrid was obviously already familiar with him, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.

"Come on, Principal Dumbledore is waiting for you in the office. I have to prepare food for my little cutie first, so I won't talk to you anymore..."

As he spoke, Hagrid leaned forward, intending to make a way for Charlie to come out.

However, just as Charlie was about to enter the principal's office, his confused mind suddenly seemed to think of something.

"correct……"

As Charlie spoke, he turned his head and looked at Hagrid again, put his hand into his pocket, and searched for something.

Soon, he took out a small piece of paper, reached out and stuffed it into the pocket of Hagrid's exaggerated robe.

"What I told you yesterday is clean... I took the time to write it out."

"real!?"

Hagrid was stunned at first, and then became surprised. Obviously, he did not expect that his casual words on the road would actually be taken to heart by the other party.

He couldn't help but be moved for a moment, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't think of any words of thanks due to his lack of vocabulary. In the end, he could only nod his head heavily and said something full of emotion.

"Thank you, Charlie, you are such a good person!"

………………

Hagrid left, and the door to the principal's office closed.

Charlie smiled, and Dumbledore's eyes met, and they looked at each other.

Dumbledore also smiled. He raised the cup of black tea that had been stirred, took a sip, and then put it down again. He said

"I guess... Charlie, you probably understand why I specially asked you to come here, right?"

"Uh..." Charlie scratched his head and sat directly on the high stool where Hagrid originally sat.

He thought for a moment, then shrugged as if joking.

"To be honest... I am not as clear as you think. After all, your wisdom is unmatched..."

Before Charlie finished speaking, he continued to speak.

"However, I can also vaguely guess something - probably about the products of our factory."

Dumbledore did not deny it and nodded frankly.

"Yes, you guessed it right, it is indeed because of it."

Charlie scratched his head, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his relaxed brows.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at Dumbledore with a smile, and asked in a half-relaxed, half-serious tone.

"Then...am I talking to the headmaster of Hogwarts, or the headmaster of Charlie Black?"
