Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 234 The Interlude Before Leaving
"Dobby?" Charlie looked a little more surprised, raised his brows, and repeated the familiar name to Dursley in a somewhat puzzled tone.

Obviously, Dursley's request was something he hadn't expected.After all, in his original expectation, this newly established "Propaganda Section" should probably be a group composed entirely of Muggles or Squibs.After all, in today's environment where Charlie's candy factory is dominated by elves, people should choose to live in a group in order to fight for interests or to be more coordinated at work. This is also when Charlie chose to expand the factory's production scale and recruit a group When the Muggles and the Squibs were together, it was already expected.

Moreover, compared to the simplicity and simplicity of the elves, which require a lot of innovation and ideas like publicity, as Muggles who have lived in Muggle society for half a lifetime, they should be more suitable for this job than them. This is also understandable.

However, it never occurred to him that Dursley, who is now the new head of the publicity department, would ask him for the first subordinate on his first day in office, and it would be an elf, and it was Dobby...

For a moment, even Charlie, who was a wily and calculating man, couldn't help but feel a little uncertain about what kind of chemical reaction this unusual arrangement and combination would produce.

And it seemed that he had sensed Charlie's thoughts. Before entering the factory, Dursley had already had rich work experience, and naturally he would not simply wait here and wait for the boss's response.

"Yes...that's how it is"

He first raised his big thick hand, wiped the sweat on his face indiscriminately, and then explained softly and factually
"Actually, this elf, I already knew him before I came to work in the factory."

Dursley paused for a moment, then raised his head. A pair of honest-looking eyes with cunning among them carefully and quickly scrutinized Charlie's expression. Seeing that the other party was not upset, but listened with interest, Dang even heaved a sigh of relief, and then continued.

"It's by my nephew...you know, Harry's side."

Hearing that Dursley in front of him pronounced Harry's name so gently, and frankly admitted his nephew's identity in front of him, the strange look in Charlie's eyes intensified a bit.The corner of his mouth twitched up, but he didn't say anything, he just waited silently, as if he wanted to see what Dursley wanted to say to him.

Dursley entangled his hands uncomfortably in front of the huge belly, and continued hesitatingly
"What happened in the past few months is probably the most incredible story I have ever experienced in my life. From an ordinary person to magic, the constant changes in mentality, coupled with various twists and turns, finally However, the rain suddenly passed and the sky cleared up, and we successfully ushered in a new life...Even now, I can't digest the feelings in my heart in one breath."

Charlie nodded slightly to show his approval. From the complex flash in his eyes just now, Charlie could see that, at least in this sentence, Dursley was really emotional, no It seems to be fake.

"Perhaps only after experiencing major changes can people finally learn to grow..."

As he said, feeling deeply, he unconsciously let out a breath of foul air, and then continued to sigh:

"Harry is a sensible child, even though he was severely criticized by me before, he didn't think about revenge..."

Dursley recalled the night when he bounced himself away by "magical" means, but ran back to the closet at a loss.

"At that time, I put too much dissatisfaction with external factors on him, but I forgot that there was nothing wrong with him. Harry himself is no different from Dudley, just a child."

"But I, like a bastard, vented all the things that he shouldn't bear on him in order to seek my own satisfaction..."

"Later..." Dursley subconsciously glanced at the boss in front of him, "When my situation reached the same disadvantage as his...I suddenly realized that what I did back then was not suitable for an 11-year-old kid. Tell me, how cruel it is."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and a bitter smile unconsciously rose from the corner of his mouth.

"However, relying on his relationship and my status as his uncle, I was respected by wizards and got the job at Charlie Black's candy factory. It's ironic to think about it."

"So, does that have anything to do with you pulling Dobby into your department?"

Dursley hurried back to the road

"Dobby is Harry's friend. I hope I can use it to ease the relationship with Harry as much as possible. Although I can't expect his forgiveness, I also hope that I can make up for the pain in his heart over the years." pain."

"That's all?" Charlie raised his eyebrows and asked

"Besides, I really think... Dobby is a different elf, at least among the elves I have seen, he is the most special one. I have a hunch that it must be an elf to bring it into the publicity department." The right choice."

Charlie finally smiled, as if seeing "sincerity" in Dursley's eyes, he finally let go, nodded, and agreed, "Okay, then do as you said."

In the afternoon, when Charlie returned to the office after wandering around, Russell walked in with something specially prepared for him to bring to France.

"Master Charlie, do you know? After you agreed to Dursley's request, he immediately appointed Dobby as the deputy director of the publicity department!"

Russell seemed to be talking about something very new, and reported to Charliehui

But Charlie, who heard this sentence, seemed to understand something instantly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, it was the right choice to teach Dursley the new department. He is indeed a...smart man."

"Did he do something?" Russell looked up at Charlie curiously, and asked in a low voice

However, Charlie did not answer him, but instead asked: "Do you know why he made Dobby the deputy director?"

"Because he wants to restore Harry..." Russell replied without thinking, but he stopped abruptly just halfway through.

After a while, his eyes changed, as if he had discovered another meaning. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said to Charlie
"What... is he implying...?"

Charlie leaned on the backrest easily, hugged Vivien into his arms, stroked her plump hair, and said with eyes closed

"He is expressing his attitude to other supervisors and me. Although the Propaganda Department is a department dominated by humans, he does not intend to form a group. Express yourself in an ambiguous and friendly manner.”

"Then why must it be Dobby?"

"Because it's 'special'... It's an elf, but it's also an outsider. Its past life experience predestined that it won't be a leader who can disperse Dursley's power, so let it be the deputy director, It's the most suitable."

Having said this, Charlie couldn't help opening his eyes.

"Now I'm really looking forward to what the Propaganda Section will do under his leadership."
