Harry Potter and the Candy Factory

Having said that, Charlie waved his hand, ignoring the others. Then, with a wave of both hands, he directly announced:

"Then, that's it—the banquet today officially begins!

Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞"

Charlie's words were like a switch. As the last word fell from his mouth, it instantly ignited the high spirits of the house-elves. →

"ohhhhhhh!

!!!"

The violent cheers swept in overwhelmingly, filling every corner of the dining hall.

"… … …"

Lucius Malfoy kept looking around him, scanning the hundreds of house-elves around him again and again. Looking at the bustling crowd, one lifelike creature after another, so different from what he usually saw, a kind of unprecedented daze suddenly arose in his heart…

You should know that even during the war, Charlie had already begun to recruit house-elves, but after all, the main purpose of the House-Elf Liberation Front at that time was self-preservation.

Therefore, many house-elves did not openly intervene in the battlefield. Most of them were divided into small groups, fighting small-scale battles with the Death Eaters.

So, basically everyone only had a rough estimate of the number of house-elves under Charlie's command. No one had ever seen what it would be like for them to all gather together.

But now, when the bustling crowd of house-elves was truly presented in front of Lucius, he could truly have a concrete understanding… …

At this moment, Lucius's mind seemed to be struck by lightning. As the thunder roared, he seemed to suddenly realize something… …

These house-elves are natural magic masters… If they were not suppressed by the bloodline since ancient times, even a powerful and experienced Auror might not be their opponent.

However, in Charlie Black's factory, there are hundreds of house-elves appearing as independent individuals… …

They have dignity, thoughts, and abilities, but they almost blindly worship Charlie Black, supporting him as their master. Their madness is even worse than the Death Eaters around Voldemort.

Lucius had no doubt that if Charlie wanted to occupy the Ministry of Magic one day, these house-elves who worked hard on the assembly line would not hesitate to put on another face and bravely annihilate all enemies on his way forward… …

"Gudong… …"

Thinking of this, Lucius's Adam's apple churned, and as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he seemed to have imagined what kind of scene it would be.

His eyes changed, and another shivering excitement rushed from his chest along his spine to his brain.

After a while, when he looked at Charlie again, the other party's smile had turned into an unfathomable mystery in his eyes… …

It seems that the Malfoy family has made the right choice again.

Thinking of this, Lucius let out a long breath, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head and looked at Russell, who was sitting upright in his seat next to him, swinging his legs while quietly waiting for the food to be served.

For some reason, the face that he wouldn't even glance at before now seemed particularly cute at this moment.

"You are… Russell, right?"

Lucius took the initiative to speak.

Russell was taken aback by the sudden voice, and quickly turned his head to see Mr. Lucius Malfoy next to him, looking at him with a gentle face.

So he quickly nodded, turned around and asked:

"It's me, Mr. Malfoy! Is there anything you need my help with?"

"No, no, no… …" Lucius quickly shook his head.

He knew that although this house-elf named Russell was nominally Charlie's servant, judging by the fact that he could sit at this table, his position in Charlie Black's heart would definitely not be low! Even in a sense, he was probably a right-hand man and confidant.

After Charlie truly defeated Voldemort and occupied the Ministry of Magic to become the leader of the British wizarding world, this unremarkable house-elf would definitely be promoted to the position of Director or even Deputy Minister… …

Instead of slowly cultivating feelings with him in the future, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity now and take the lead in building a good relationship!

Thinking, Lucius then took the lead in extending his hand and continued to say to Russell:

"I just want to get to know you. You don't have to call me Mr. Malfoy in the future, just call me Lucius."

Faced with Lucius's outstretched hand and the sincerity revealed in his eyes, Russell was stunned for a moment.

He still remembered that not long ago, Master Charlie had complained to himself in the office about the harshness and arrogance of those pure-blood families, and the innate contempt for the house-elf group.

Therefore, even if he came to participate in the banquet today and sat at this table, Russell was actually a little nervous in his heart, fearing that something would not be done well and anger the guests invited by Master Charlie.

After all, it doesn't matter what happens to him. Even if he is reprimanded by the guests, it is not a big deal. However, if his reasons cause the master to lose face in front of other pure-blood nobles, that would be a great sin!

!

With this in mind, before coming, he specially selected his cleanest and most decent clothes, fearing that something was wrong and tarnished the master's reputation.

However, what he didn't expect was that, contrary to what he had expected, the guests were so… kind!

After being stunned for a while, Russell finally came back to his senses and noticed the other party's outstretched hand.

Without hesitating any longer, he hurriedly nodded and quickly grabbed the other's big hand with both hands, and shook it hard twice.

[Seriously, I have been using reading to catch up on updates recently, switching sources, with many recitation voices, Android and Apple are both available.]

"Okay, Lucius! Nice to meet you!!"

Russell and Lucius smiled at each other, smiling happily, as if they were close friends.

However, no one knows what they are thinking in their hearts… … …

The next second, a crisp snap of fingers came out.

On the originally empty table, waves of magic suddenly surged.

Countless delicacies, sparkling with light, appeared one by one in front of everyone.

A huge turkey steamed in the center of the disc. The shiny outer skin vaguely reflected people's reflections. In the bulging belly, I don't know how many delicacies were stuffed.

The steak is tender, the cake is fluffy, the cream is snow-white, and the candy is crystal clear… …

In an instant, the feast has arrived, and it has also ignited the enthusiasm of everyone!
