Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 259 Anse Idel

"This is..."

Charlie raised his eyebrows and looked at the enthusiastic guest who suddenly appeared next to him. He had already guessed his identity in his mind, but he still asked out of courtesy.

"Mr. Black, let me introduce you." Nuckel quickly stood up and introduced the man in front of Charlie who was full of "exquisite Frenchism".

"Anse Idel, the owner of this restaurant, is also the director of the Auror Office of the French Ministry of Magic... I once talked to you about him at the door."

Idel smiled and nodded to Nakr, as if thanking him for introducing his identity.

Immediately afterwards, Idel once again turned his attention back to Charlie, calmly stretched out his hand first, and said in a gentle tone, "If you want, you can just call me Ansai."

As soon as these words came out, Charlie, who was the most involved, had not yet reacted. However, the guests around them, who had been paying attention to this, all opened their eyes a little wide, and their expressions were also... An incredulous look appeared.

You must know that as the heir of the Idel family, an outstanding wizard who already held great power at the age of thirty-two and became the youngest director of the Auror Office of the French Ministry of Magic in history, he is undoubtedly proud and self-respecting in his heart. With his strong aura and unparalleled family behind him, anyone he talks to is filled with unquestionable strength. Even the current Minister of Magic has to shy away from facing his edge in some aspects.

However, right here, Anse Idel actually showed his kindness to a young wizard he had never met before. If bringing desserts to the table in person can be interpreted as an attempt to maintain his self-proclaimed noble image, then extending his hand first and letting the other person call him by his name is undoubtedly a naked expression of a desire to make friends with the other person. signal of.

In shock, all the guests couldn't help but start to examine this blond man they had never seen before. Who is he? where is he from? What is his identity?

.........For a time, countless questions filled people's minds, causing the originally delicious food to lose some of its bright color.

"Thank you, Serra. Charlie Black is from England and just arrived in Paris today."

Charlie sensitively noticed the strange atmosphere in the restaurant, but did not take it too seriously. After hearing what the other party said, he nodded without being polite, and while speaking, he shook the right hand that he extended.

"How does today's meal taste?"

The smile on Anse Idel's face became even brighter, and he seemed to have found a reason to stay and sit down. He asked, and then sat down on the seat where little Sanchez had just been without leaving any trace, with a sincere look in his eyes. Look at Charlie.

"It's delicious." Without thinking, Charlie nodded and gave it a high praise. “A most unforgettable dinner.”

"I am really relieved to hear a satisfactory answer. In fact, I have been paying attention to the situation here from the beginning. When I saw that you and Mr. Sanchez were not very interested in the salad in our restaurant, I I’m still worried about what’s wrong with it,” Idel said.

"I was just thinking about something at the time, so I didn't eat too much. The salad is actually quite delicious." Charlie waved his hand and defended with a smile.

"Haha, then I'm relieved." Idel let out a hearty laugh, just like the external image he had always maintained in the French magic world, a perfect descendant of a noble family.

....................................

"Actually, you may not know... If we look at the bloodline between families, we should still be relatives..."

Just as the atmosphere between the two of them became extremely friendly and they became more familiar with each other, Idel seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke abruptly. As soon as these words came out, not only Charlie, but also Nuckl, who had been particularly sensible and had not said anything since Idel appeared, also opened his eyes a little wider and subconsciously looked at this man.

He stood up proudly, as if talking about the blood connection between his family and Black was something he was particularly proud of. After seeing the surprise on their faces, Idel grinned and continued talking. And talk about Tao

"My grandmother's name is Samia Black. She is a direct descendant of Arcturus Black and Lysandra Yaxri."

Having said this, Idel looked at Charlie and paused for two seconds, as if to give the other party time to think.

After a while, he continued

"My grandmother and my grandfather met during the Goblet of Fire. They fell in love with each other and kept in touch after the Goblet of Fire ended. Later, she married into the Idel family, and at the same time, the blood of the Black family intersected with them. Fusion... If we look at this relationship, I am actually still your distant cousin, Charlie."

As Charlie listened to Idel's narration, his expression gradually changed from surprise to understanding.

"Indeed, if you think about it this way, we are indeed cousins."

Finally, he nodded, acknowledging the blood relationship between the two. However, despite this, Charlie did not show too much excitement.

After all, although they both belong to the Black family, they actually do not belong to the same branch. According to Idel himself, although his ancestors and his own ancestors are both descendants of Phineas Nagellus (the one hanging in the principal's office), in fact, the other party's part of the Black branch , had already declined a hundred years ago. Even in the tapestry recording the family genealogy, there was not much introduction. It was just a brief mention, and there was no other follow-up.

Due to hundreds of years of intermarriage among the twenty-eight Holy Families, Charlie's relatives have long been dwarfed. If even his cousins ​​like Idel, who are far away in the French magic world, are included, I am afraid that there are many relatives. Finally, there should be a few hundred people...

So, after just nodding as a polite acknowledgement of the other party's identity, Charlie didn't say anything more on this topic.

However, even if it is just this, it is still an extremely happy thing for Idel. After all, everyone knows that although they claim to be nobles, in fact, the only ones in Europe that can truly be called noble bloodlines in the magic world are the 28 Holy Families with the earliest qualifications.

Now, when he was truly recognized by a Black family member, the title of "French Noble" that was not very legitimate at first seemed to suddenly become orthodox at this moment.

"Hahahaha..." Idel smiled so happily that he even ignored the persona he had maintained in public and patted Charlie's shoulder affectionately, looking extremely familiar.

"How long do you plan to stay in France, my cousin?"

"I don't know, but it should take a while."

Hearing this, Idel snapped his fingers and a square metal card appeared in his hand.

"Here you go, activate it if you need to, and at least in Paris I'll hear from you."
