Harry Potter and the Candy Factory

In such an atmosphere, time always feels short, but no feast lasts forever.

When the elves finally finished singing the Christmas carols several times and the hour hand of the huge clock in the factory slid to midnight, everyone stopped their still unfinished conversations and began to prepare to go back.

Standing in front of the fireplace used for passage, Lane looked at the signed documents in front of him, a satisfied smile on his face. After looking at it up and down for a long time, he reluctantly stuffed it back into his down jacket pocket, took out a honeydew melon Zizzler and threw it into his mouth, turned his head, and waved goodbye to Charlie, Narcissa, Lucius and the others behind him.

"If you have time in the future, come to Malfoy Manor to play."

Looking at her cousin who was about to leave, Narcissa said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will!"

Lane was obviously very happy with tonight's dinner. Originally, according to his idea, I was afraid that only Charlie and Russell would come, or at worst, all the little elf directors of the other departments would be called to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, when he really came here, it would be so lively… Not to mention Narcissa's care and attention to him for a long time as his cousin, just the nephew he met for the first time made him extremely fond of him.

Well… the only thing he felt regretful about was that the kid was too much like his cousin… always making him feel恍惚 from time to time, as if he had returned to the childhood era when he was always suppressed no matter what achievements he made… Tsk, it's really a painful memory.

Thinking about it, suddenly, a thought couldn't help but pop up in Lane's mind: If his brother, Sirius Black, were here at this time, how great would that be…

As soon as the thought arose, Lane quickly shook his head and extinguished it, feeling that it was ridiculous even to himself.

It's better not to come… If Sirius Black really appeared here, I'm afraid the originally harmonious atmosphere would completely fall into the ice valley.

Not to mention the grudges between Charlie and Sirius Black since their student days, but so many Slytherins were enough to make him furious…

With this thought, Lane finally sighed and stopped the thoughts in his head.

Then he regained his smile, gently twisted a handful of Floo Powder from Russell's hand and walked into the fireplace.

"Number 17, Red Brick Lane!"

As the voice fell, the fire rose, and in front of everyone's eyes, his figure disappeared in place, leaving only a few wisps of black dust after the flames dissipated.

After Lane left, the next one was the Malfoy family.

"Thank you, Charlie… Today was the best dinner I've ever had."

Saying that, Narcissa turned her head, opened her arms, and barely hugged Charlie, who was already very big.

【Recommendation, Chase Book is really easy to use, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. 】

Charlie bent his knees slightly to make it easier for Narcissa to hug him. At the same time, he comforted her by gently patting her on the shoulder and said softly,

"It's my honor, sister."

Lucius was still holding the gift tightly in his arms. Even when facing Narcissa and Draco's curious eyes, he didn't say much, but simply perfunctorily said that "this is a testament to the close relationship between the Malfoy family and the Black family."

After Charlie accepted Narcissa's hug, he stepped forward and hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Do you remember when I told you during dinner that I had prepared a gift for you too?"

Charlie raised his eyebrows and nodded at the same time, replying, "Yes, so what is it?"

"It's a box…" Lucius paused deliberately, and then continued casually,

"It's full of junk from more than ten years ago."

As soon as these words came out, even Charlie's expression subconsciously showed a bit of looseness.

More than ten years ago… that was the war period when Voldemort was still active, and considering Lucius's status as Voldemort's right-hand man at that time… Even if Lucius said it so lightly, he had already guessed the meaning of the so-called junk in an instant.

The two people tacitly didn't say anything more, but they already understood each other's meaning through a brief exchange of glances.

At this point, Lucius continued to say,

"It's just that the box is a bit heavy. If I really bring it over, it might be a bit troublesome. So, I'm going to ask Dobby to send it to you later. What do you think?"

Listening to Lucius's words, Narcissa raised her head with some doubts and looked at her husband.

After all, in the decision between the two, they planned to prohibit Dobby from having too much contact with Charlie.

But at this moment, Lucius seemed to not notice Narcissa's gaze, and still looked at Charlie with a normal expression, waiting for the other party's reply.

After pondering for a moment, Charlie nodded and replied,

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."

After saying that, the two no longer had much communication. Lucius Malfoy held Narcissa's left hand and dragged Draco with his right hand, and walked slowly into the fireplace.

Standing in the fireplace, Draco looked at his uncle and waved goodbye reluctantly.

In his opinion, everything about today's meal was exceptionally perfect. Although there was no chocolate waterfall or licorice stick forest as he imagined, the large number and interesting behavior of the little elves still greatly satisfied his curiosity.

It's just a pity that the only bad thing is that he didn't find a chance to be alone with his uncle.

After all, he had saved up too many stories that he wanted to share with his uncle… Whether it was the new spell he had learned from Professor Snape, or the various interesting things that had happened with Harry and the others recently, he couldn't help but want to tell the other party in one breath.

Just as Draco was feeling a little regretful and planning to share it with his uncle during the summer vacation, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts and pulled him back to the present.

"Wait a minute…"

Charlie suddenly opened his mouth and stopped the Malfoy family who were about to teleport away.

Then he walked unhurriedly to Draco's side, bent down in the other party's glittering eyes, and gently tidied up the slightly upturned collar and cuffs for him.

"Remember to study hard when you go back to Hogwarts. When you have your summer vacation, your uncle will pick you up in person."

Charlie looked into Draco's eyes and said seriously, then smiled and stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes!!"

Draco, who was stunned for a while, couldn't help but express the excitement in his heart when he finally came back to his senses.

He nodded vigorously, without saying a word, but his eyes showed a bit more seriousness when he looked at Charlie.
