Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

The principal's room was extremely quiet, except for the two of them chatting with a smile from time to time, there was no sound.

Even the portraits of the previous principals on the wall opened their eyes from their usual sleep, and looked at the two people below with curiosity, scrutiny, or surprise.

Of course, they paid more attention to Charlie.

They were probably surprised, after all, they had never seen anyone who could still take the initiative and maintain that incredible confidence and calmness in a conversation with Dumbledore.

You know, they had also seen Dumbledore talking with Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, here.

Although the other party still put on the airs of a minister, facing the old man with white beard and hair in front of him, he still held his head high and refused to lose any of his momentum.

However, the past principals are all human beings. Although it is just a portrait and not the person, it is still possible to see at a glance the lack of confidence under Fudge's forced airs.

Only Charlie was something they had never seen before... He made Dumbledore a qualified listener, describing what he wanted to say in a leisurely and unhurried manner, and it seemed extremely natural from beginning to end.

The conversation between Charlie and Dumbledore continued, and among the portraits on the wall, one suddenly began to shake slightly.

He shook it so that the corner of his frame hit another painting next to him, thus attracting the other person's attention.

"What are you doing, Phineas?"

The portrait of the principal who had been knocked frowned slightly with dissatisfaction and looked to the side.

"Look..."

The portrait of Phineas Black, known as the "worst Hogwarts Headmaster in history", showed a rather lively smile on his face. He looked straight at the young man below and lowered his voice to

Another said

"That's our Black child...a good boy, such a good boy..."

Phineas murmured, his eyes showing a bit of kindness and kindness that he had never seen before.

"Look, this is the outstanding bloodline of our Black family, and only our Black bloodline can give birth to such outstanding children."

As he spoke, Phineas couldn't help but sigh, as if with a bit of sigh, he said sincerely

"How old is he?! I don't think he is more than thirty-five."

Having said this, he paused again, glanced around, and then lowered his voice even lower.

"I guess he will definitely be hung on this wall in the future! In this way, two people from our Black family will become the principals of Hogwarts!"

However, facing his words, the portrait of the principal who was disturbed by him snorted disdainfully.

He stroked his thick red beard, and the thick eyebrows on his eyes were slightly raised, making him look like a calm lion. There is almost no need to know anything else. Judging from his appearance, you can

It was accurately determined that this was a principal from Gryffindor.

"I don't think so..."

The corners of his mouth covered under his beard curled up, as if he wasn't used to seeing Phineas so embarrassed, so he sneered back.

"I have never seen a pure Black person with such beautiful blond hair..."

Phineas listened to his words and was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

However, the other party moved his eyes elsewhere, not looking at Phineas beside him, curled his lips and said

"It's not interesting..."

"I'll fight you!!!"

In an instant, Phineas reacted, and his originally thin and pale face suddenly turned red with anger. He was like a cat with exploded fur, and rushed towards the red-bearded old man next door along with the picture frame.

For an extremely pure-blooded old man, such words are definitely even worse than scolding his mother.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing!"

Finally, the noise between the two people started, gradually expanding, and finally attracted the eyes that were still looking down below.

"Hit him! Dexter! Beat him!"

"Give Phineas something nice to look at!"

"Come on! You annoying guy!"

………………

Suddenly, the originally quiet principal's office became noisy again, and from the mouths of many principals who were bored and did not mind watching the excitement, it was probably confirmed that Phineas, "the most hated Hogwarts principal in history"

The title is well deserved.”

At the end, Charlie and Dumbledore had to interrupt the original conversation in advance, and both raised their heads and glanced at the place where the noise was occurring.

"Calm down! Principals! Please be quiet!"

Dumbledore sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, but it seemed that he was no longer surprised by this kind of chaos.

But it is actually understandable... After all, a group of old people have been doing nothing all day long since they were hung here. Apart from sleeping, they help Dumbledore with suggestions. If they don't find some fun or talk nonsense on their own, they will no longer be able to do it.

Charlie couldn't help but laugh, looking at the exciting scene in front of him with a bit of novelty in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the principals of the past generations who looked dignified and majestic on weekdays would actually have such a "lively" side.

He lowered his head again, first glanced at the sun outside the window, then turned his eyes to Dumbledore again, and said with a smile

"It seems that I have been staying for a while and everything has been settled. If this is the case, I will leave first."

As he spoke, he stood up from his original high stool, straightened his clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles carefully, and regained his original elegant demeanor.

"Indeed... time flies so fast."

Seeing that the principals had no intention of listening to him, the "battle" between Phineas and Dexter became more and more intense (actually it was two picture frames colliding)

Dumbledore simply stopped caring about them. He withdrew his gaze and focused on Charlie again, and couldn't help but sigh.

In his words, there seemed to be some regret that the process had not yet taken place.

I have to say that for Dumbledore, Charlie can indeed be regarded as an excellent chat partner.

Whether it is his unbridled creativity or astonishing ideas, he can always find it interesting. Compared with other people who always listen to him cautiously when facing him, Dumbledore actually prefers this kind of approach.

The feeling of being a listener.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"

Dumbledore continued to ask gently and kindly.

"No..."

Charlie shook his head and responded

"There are still some things going on in the factory... I need to go back and take a look as soon as possible."
