Harry Potter and the Candy Factory

"Hi! Good afternoon, Russell!"

Kobe walked out of the workshop with his carefully prepared lesson plan.

He subconsciously tugged at the tie around his neck, and as he was wondering where to find those Muggles, he ran into Hagrid, who had just brought the people to the factory.

Hagrid seemed very happy. He waved his hand, then narrowed his eyes, trying to recognize him, and called out Russell's name to Kobe...

But it really can't be blamed on Hagrid... because in the eyes of humans, these little elves do look alike.

And coincidentally, Kobe's attire today was so formal, and he even had a notebook tucked under his arm. His appearance was strikingly similar to Russell, who was Charlie's office secretary.

Under such conditions, apart from Charlie, who had been dealing with the little elves all the time, I am afraid that very few people could clearly distinguish them, so it is no wonder that Hagrid would mistake the two...

Although understanding, Kobe's face couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and he had no choice but to say,

"Hello Hagrid... I'm sorry, I'm not Russell. My name is Kobe. We shouldn't have met, but I often hear Mr. Black mention you."

After speaking, he took the lead in extending his right hand, smiling to show respect.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry!! I'm so sorry."

Under Hagrid's thick eyebrows, his eyes couldn't help but widen a bit. After carefully looking at the little elf in front of him, he hurriedly bent down, shook the other party's small hand, and began to express his apology.

"It's okay..."

After the two people's hands shook in the air for a while, Kobe withdrew it. His face also returned to its initial calmness.

He tilted his head slightly, looked past Hagrid's huge body, and focused on the group of Muggles behind him.

Raising his hand to gesture, Kobe continued to ask,

"Are they the new employees Mr. Black recruited this time?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Hagrid laughed heartily twice, straightened his back again, and stretched out his sandbag-sized palm, patting the back of the first person closely following him.

Although he had tried his best to restrain his strength, it was probably too terrifying for ordinary people.

Kobe, standing not far away, even felt that he vaguely heard a muffled sound coming from the poor fellow's body.

"Is it internal injuries..." Kobe couldn't help but think in his mind.

However, Hagrid had not finished speaking. After patting twice, he retracted his hand and continued,

"According to Charlie and me, I brought back all the Muggles in the Leaky Cauldron. Don't worry, I didn't miss a single one."

"Thank you so much." Kobe nodded, looked around the crowd, and then took out the lesson plan that had been tucked under his arm and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that everything was developing perfectly, the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

"Next, please hand them over to me! Mr. Charlie should be waiting for you in his office now. Please go over there."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Hagrid didn't say much. Anyway, Charlie only asked him to bring them to the factory. As for the rest, it was their internal secret, and he had no interest in it.

Instead of wasting any more time here, it would be better to hurry to Charlie. Maybe he had some candy he hadn't eaten yet that he could share.

So, after the handover was completed, without the slightest hesitation, Hagrid strode towards the workshop, heading to Charlie's office according to the previous address.

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

Along the way, the Muggles, led by the Dursleys, were unconsciously glancing around.

Ever since leaving the Leaky Cauldron, suppressed exclamations had been rising and falling in this team.

"Look! Those wizards... their clothes look like they are made of linen."

"Ah! Owls! Look, they even sell owls! Aren't they national second-class protected animals?"

"I remember I came here once to prepare the necessities for my child to go to Hogwarts... It seems to be called Diagon Alley, right? It's just that we only visited the bookstore, the clothing store, and the place that sells wands back then."

...

...

Listening to the noisy discussions of his companions, Dursley was already too surprised to speak... Looking at everything bizarre around him, it was like a wonderful dream.

This was different from the wizarding world he had imagined before. In his mind, there would never be such a prosperous commercial street.

Wizards should be like mice, hiding in dilapidated, about-to-be-scrapped wooden houses, using kerosene lamps, while guarding against being discovered, and casting vicious and insidious spells...

Dursley raised his head, the sun was shining brightly. Young wizards riding brooms passed over his head, laughing and joking, causing him to involuntarily smack his lips and subconsciously say to himself,

"If I had known it was so interesting, I should have followed that little rascal to that Hogwarts thing as a guardian to take a look..."

However, halfway through speaking, he immediately woke up and hurriedly covered his mouth, with a few traces of confusion in his shock. He seemed a little unclear about when his brain had been washed by those evil wizards.

He was clearly enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens in order for Dudley to return to his human form, and came to work at the evil Charlie Black factory, but before even reaching the factory gate, he had almost forgotten his original intention and was addicted to it... Tsk, the cunning wizard, it's really terrible.

And as Hagrid continued to move forward, bringing them together to officially arrive at the factory through the fireplace, the original expectations in everyone's hearts were instantly extinguished a lot.

Why? Because it was too modern here... Whether it was the simply designed factory buildings, the flat and smooth cement floor, or the flowers and plants in the green environment, from any aspect, it did not look like a wizarding world building at all. It was completely no different from those Muggle world factories.

However, soon, with the appearance of Kobe, everyone's emotions were stirred up again.

The disappearing whispers sounded again.

"Look! It's the magical creature on the job advertisement, it's so amazing!"

"He's so small, but he has such big ears and eyes, so cute."

"I know, I know about this kind of creature. If I remember correctly, it should be a branch of goblins, living in underground caves."
