Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 111 Game, and Benefit Delivery
"Mr. Charlie. I'm so sorry, I didn't know this was going to happen!"

Charlie paced lightly along the corridor, walking forward.

And the old man who was the director followed closely by his side, always half a step behind.

There was a flattering and flattering smile on an old face, and his body was slightly bowed, just like what he wanted Steve to do at first... But now, he did it himself.

The smile on Charlie's lips didn't fade away, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that because I stayed in that dim environment for too long, I didn't get used to the light outside all of a sudden.

He listened to the old man's words, but he didn't answer or say anything, but asked

"That... Steve, what kind of punishment will he receive?"

Hearing Charlie's words, the old man became awe-inspiring for a moment, raised his spirits and responded cautiously.
"Collude with black wizards, use Legilimency without permission, ignore orders from superiors, abuse power... I plan to dismiss him first, and then put him in prison."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Charlie's face, trying to see any changes in the other's face.

It's a pity that he was disappointed. Charlie was always calm with a smile... Whether he entered the interrogation room or came out of it, it never seemed to change.

For a moment, the old man couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and he quickly added in a low voice

"Perhaps... what do you think should be appropriate?"

Charlie raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but pause in his forward steps. He looked at the director of the Serious Case Investigation Department who was half a step behind him with some surprise.

He pondered for a moment, and opened his narrowed eyes a little bit, but in the end he shook his head lightly with a little emotion, neither saying that he wanted to deliberately punish him, nor did he say that he wanted to forgive him.

For Steve, Charlie didn't have much emotion.

Apart from a little pity just now, there were no other excessive emotions.

After all, just like what the old man said in the office... Compared with Charlie, Steuff is undoubtedly the ant that can be easily crushed to death from any angle.

Under such a situation of extremely unequal identities, to be honest, it was difficult for him to be greatly touched.

"Uh……"

The old man waited for a while, seeing that Charlie did not speak, the expression on his face changed a little, but soon recovered.

His eyes flashed a little, he nodded, and replied in a low voice.

"Yes, Mr. Black."

When the words were finished, the two had no more communication, but continued to walk forward.A group of Aurors who were still standing at the door of the interrogation room were left behind, holding the two of them who had fallen asleep, Steuff, looking at each other at a loss. ……………………………………

In the conference room on the highest floor of the Magic Congress, located in the center, next to the spacious and exquisite conference table, among the twelve seats representing the supreme power of the entire American magic community, it is rare that none of them are vacant at this moment.

They were noisy and noisy, and their words were either fierce or hesitant.Some even stood up from their seats because they were too excited, blushing, and spitting stars with the person opposite.

As a result, the conference room, which originally symbolized power and dignity, has turned into a scene of a vegetable market in chaos, without any civilization and demeanor at all.

If you just look at this scene, I believe no one would have thought that these guys who were blushing from the quarrel, and almost made a move directly, were the top figures in the entire Magic Congress and even the American magic world-senators.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, under the minister, there is the director, and under the director is the director. Such a simple and clear division of positions.

The Magic Council has made some changes in the original system that the Ministry of Magic has already constructed.

Here, the position of the minister was removed and changed to the chairman, and the powers that originally belonged to the minister were divided into twelve parts and handed over to the chairman and each member of parliament.

Every time the highest level is required to make a ruling, the councilors will get together, under the leadership of the chairman, have a heated debate, and finally make a decision...

In fact, at the very beginning, when the Magic Council was founded, in order to prevent the abuse of rights, it was a way to consider the principles of mutual checks and balances.

However, the twelve Aurors who founded the Magic Congress at that time would never have thought of...

Many years later, when capital woke up and turned into a scourge, and began to infiltrate its influence in every way, this pure and flawless parliamentary system, which symbolized fairness and justice, was completely eroded.becomes more and more distorted, thus losing its original meaning.

Until now, at every meeting, the discussion of whether a decision is passed or not is no longer about whether it is correct or whether it can serve the American magical community.

It's about whether they can provide better resources to the wealthy businessmen behind the congressmen, so that they can squeeze as much profit as possible more easily.

On the main seat, Antonio, who is the chairman of the Magic Congress, is drooping his eyelids at the moment.

He pursed his lips, lowered his head and quietly looked at his cup of black tea that was slightly rippling due to the vibration of the conference table.

Watching his face reflected in the liquid surface of the black tea, and then shattered in waves.

Let the congressmen sitting around the conference table quarrel and blush, but he seemed to ignore it and didn't care at all.

He just sorted out his thoughts on his own, thinking about the issues he should consider.

Compared with those councilors who only need to be a "puppet" to live a good life, Antonio needs to think about a lot more things...

The game between the wealthy businessman headed by Muller and the Magic Congress has just begun to see and test.In the few rounds of negotiations, neither side has yet made a formal effort.All he wanted was to slowly test the other party's true thoughts and respond accordingly.

However, when the atmosphere became more and more sophisticated, the British Ministry of Magic, an outsider, suddenly broke in and completely muddied the water without any explanation.

Forcing Antonio to end the game early, he reluctantly released Charlie Black, in order to bow his head and show weakness.

So if this is the case, can the interests of the Magic Congress be further expanded between the two?Is the attitude of the British Ministry of Magic really as tough as they have shown... One by one questions lingered in his mind like this
Antonio rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers in mid-air, and kept rubbing along with his thoughts...

I don't know how long it took... Just as the congressmen were gearing up and the atmosphere intensified, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Dong dong dong..." Outside the thick wooden door, the knocking sound was dull and weak.In such a scene, it seems so small.

However, just such a voice suddenly brought the originally noisy meeting room to an abrupt stop and became silent.

For a moment, everyone seemed to have been pressed the freeze button, freezing their original actions.

Whether it was those who were barking their teeth or claws, or those who were excited to apply, everyone twisted their necks subconsciously, and looked towards the door in unison.

"Okay...it looks like our guests are here."

Antonio, who had been silent all this time, finally interrupted his original thoughts, slowly raised his head, and spoke.

His voice was thick and steady, although his tone of voice was calm and not loud, but it seemed that he was born with an aura that made people awe-inspiring.

His gaze moved slowly, sweeping over every member of parliament.

"Don't let the British wizards see your jokes, sit down better."

His tone of voice seemed to be coaxing children, but it had a miraculous effect on those congressmen.

After everyone was seated, Antonio raised his head slightly, and said loudly towards the direction outside the door
"Please come in—"

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

The old man stood at the door, watched the door open, and watched the young and confident figure beside him walk in calmly...

But he could only lower his head cautiously, expressing his respect for the twelve congressmen and the chairman in the conference room.

The old man finally raised his head until the gate was closed and slowly closed again. Looking at the gorgeously decorated and meaningful facade in front of him, which was meticulously carved with the original founder of the Magic Council [Twelve Aurors], his gaze gradually became complicated. .

That gate seemed to separate the two worlds, even if it was there, it formed a gap that ordinary people would never be able to cross.It was like a scourge, completely dividing it...

After standing for a long time, all the emotions poured out of his chest with a faint sigh.Then, he turned around and left.

In the conference room, when the old man left.Under the leadership of Chairman Antonio, a member of the House of Representatives started a "friendly and cordial" exchange meeting with this young and promising Mr. Charlie Black.

.........

The conversation in the conference room didn't take long.Because everyone is a smart person, there are many things that don't need to be said in order to understand the rules.

Charlie understood that they just wanted to find a way to see if they could make up for their losses on his side and charge some interest more or less when the Ministry of Magic stepped in.

He is naturally happy about this. After all, his business is about to expand beyond other people's boundaries. In any case, it is undoubtedly a good thing to establish a good relationship with the local government before that, or even form some kind of alliance. .

You come and go, mutual interests are constantly divided and integrated, and the pace is astonishingly fast.

When a group of people were smiling and having a good time, all of them came to the result they were satisfied with. It seemed that more than 40 people were killed, the huge fire, and the death of Fields were not so important...

As the focus of the eyes of most wizards in the American magic world, this case is naturally still very serious and vile.

Now, however, it could be anyone's crime except Charlie's.

I believe that it won't be long before such news will be given out in the newspapers that are popular in the American magic circle.

"The suspect in the case was already on the way to arrest, and was accidentally killed because of desperate resistance with the Aurors - the director of the Serious Case Investigation Department personally made a detailed report on this matter!"

The masses happily took away the truth, and the Magic Congress gained benefits.The merchants defended their positions, and Charlie, at last, achieved the purpose of his trip.

At this time, each party gets what they want, and an answer that satisfies everyone is created.

---

About half an hour later, Charlie was personally sent out of the Magic Congress building by Chairman Antonio.

At this time, Antonio had a friendly smile on his face.He put his arm around Charlie's shoulders and shook his hand tightly for the last time at the door.

It seems that the two people have been close friends for many years.

Suddenly, Antonio raised his head and looked forward.Soon, he noticed the old Mueller who was waiting for Charlie not far away.

Then he blinked his eyes and said to Charlie with a smile

"Look, old Muller can't wait to pick you up, so that's it... I wish you a good time in the United States these days! Don't judge us badly because of this little thing."

"Of course it's impossible... I can understand the Magic Congress's handling of such incidents! It is precisely because of such a strict attitude that the American magic community can achieve stability and peace."

Shaking the hand holding Antonio vigorously, Charlie said so earnestly with a bit of admiration on his face.

Antonio raised the corners of his mouth wordlessly. If he hadn't seen the other party's abilities in the conference room just now, with such a young face and superb acting skills, he would have even deceived him.

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

Antonio left, and after nodding to the old Muller not far away, he turned his head and walked back into the building.

"How! Those Aurors didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Old Muller's smile is so weird but kind.

Seeing the other party walking towards him, he hurriedly took steps to welcome Charlie back to his side.

Then he quickly looked up and down carefully, as if an elder was concerned about his child, checking whether Charlie was in a normal state.

"Of course, everything is fine."

With a smile on his face, Charlie nodded while walking with Mueller, and said in a gentle voice
"It has been confirmed that it was a misunderstanding. Mr. Antonio solemnly expressed their apologies to me."

Hearing this, Old Muller was even happier, nodded his head hastily, and said
"I knew it should be like this! Those Aurors are really daring. I haven't encountered such a thing in so many years, and my claws are numb all of a sudden, and they even dare to grab you."

Speaking of this, he seemed to recall what happened when they just walked out of Magic Broadway the night before, and couldn't help snorting twice.

But then he waved his hand again, and the emotion in his voice rose again.

"Okay! Don't talk about these unhappy things! Tonight, we have prepared a banquet for you, to welcome you! It's fun!"

"Me... us?" Charlie raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, we. Some of my friends, when you first came to the American wizarding world, they couldn't wait to meet you! Then they encountered this kind of thing..."

Charlie knew for a moment.

　Alright... for this chapter, my original part about the United States Ministry of Magic is over. From the next chapter, Charlie's main storyline will gradually return to England, and gradually return to Harry on campus. , Draco.

　　To be honest, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

　　You don't have to rack your brains to think about the direction of the plot, and you don't have to do everything possible to shape those images, you can write something that saves effort.

　　Originally, my thought was whether I could jump out of that structure and make a new attempt.It can be seen that this is a failed idea...

　　Maybe a small number of friends like it, but I guess most of them don't like it.

　　...........................

　　[The level of chapters is getting worse and worse. 】

　　[The things I write now are not even worthy of two thousand collections...]

　　【Bala blah blah blah...】

　　Thanks to the friends who gave me their opinions, I will try my best to do less thankless things like this in the future.

　　Think about it... Most of the book friends who read this book should also be attracted by the daily life in the early stage. What everyone wants to read is Harry Potter and Draco... If you really want to write these Well, why not open a book then?
　　Well, that's it.

　　【Love and peace, my dear brother.】
