Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 117 Hmph, boy
Not long after, it was time for get out of class to end, and Snape had just finished what he had to say.

Without saying anything else, after looking around at everyone with his eyes as usual, he sorted out his lesson plans, tucked them under his arm, and walked out of the classroom.

It can be seen that as a professor, the coercion brought by Snape is not comparable to that of other professors.

Because it wasn't until about ten seconds after Snape left the classroom... After confirming that the footsteps finally disappeared, the students who didn't even dare to take a breath finally regained their previous vitality.

They started to make a noise, and while packing their things, they chatted with each other about topics with their friends.

However, no matter what they were discussing, at this special time point, it was inevitable that they would more or less talk about the most "hot" topic in Hogwarts - Mr. Charlie's candy vending machine.

Hermione couldn't help pursing her lips when she heard what the little wizards beside her said.Then he suddenly complained to the people around him

"Honestly, I don't think there's any benefit in eating that much candy."

As the child of a dentist, Hermione was naturally not interested in their obsession with candy.I don't even understand what's so attractive about it.

The so-called happiness brought by sweets is nothing more than stimulating the brain by the secretion of dopamine, so as to give you a kind of exhilarating pleasure in your heart.

That being the case, why not do more exercise?Anyway, it is also secreting dopamine, and exercise is also good for your body.

Hearing Hermione's shocking remarks, Ron, who was packing up his things and dealing with the residue in the cauldron, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He turned his head and looked Hermione carefully up and down, as if he was looking at some kind of alien.It wasn't until Hermione was almost sized up that she blew her hair that she finally withdrew her gaze and asked faintly
"You must have never had Charlie's candy?"

As soon as these words came out, Hermione froze at first, as if she had been hit by Ron's words.But soon, he frowned again, and retorted with a bit of stubbornness
"Is there... any difference? They're both just candy."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Ron, but also Draco, who was separated from the two, sneered, and then unified the front with Ron in a rare way, and said

"Although Weasley's brain is not very good, at least in terms of eating, I believe he has no problem! You must know that Charlie's candies are not inferior candies that can be easily compared. Whether it is taste or ingredients , my uncle's candy is definitely a class higher than the others!"

And listening to Draco expressing support for himself, Ron grinned, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

"I didn't expect you to praise me." He replied with a bit of "shyness"

"praise you?……"

Draco's eyelids twitched, and looking at Ron, whose face was faintly flushed, he felt that he had received some kind of intense moral condemnation in his heart.
Maybe I should be more humble to this Weasley kid in the future... Maybe his IQ is significantly lower than normal kids.Draco thought silently in his heart.

Listening to the conversation between the three, even Harry subconsciously recalled the pieces of hazelnut chocolate he handed him when he first met Mr. Charlie, and then unconsciously licked his lips .

To be honest, in my impression, it was definitely the best thing he had ever eaten in his life... Even after coming to Hogwarts, he tasted other delicacies with their own characteristics and flavors, but hazelnut chocolate The taste left in his memory that is unique to him can never be replaced, as if engraved in the depths of his mind, whenever he thinks of it, a sweet feeling mixed with the smell of hazelnuts It will spread between the mouth and tongue again, making him endlessly aftertaste.

"Draco and Ron are right...Mr. Black's candy is indeed the best in the world. If you haven't tried it, it's really a pity."

Hermione's eyes widened a little, and she froze in place.

She really didn't expect that the point of view she put forward at this moment would be met with the same hatred from three people, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Harry, who was considerate in the end, resolved the embarrassment with his words.

He smiled, put the cleaned cauldron back to its original position, then clamped the book, and said softly to Hermione while preparing to leave with a few people
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the candy vending machine has been installed in Hogwarts. Maybe we can buy some and let you have a taste of it. Believe me, as long as you take a bite, you will definitely understand, Why do we love Mr. Black's products so much?"

Hermione's eyes flickered several times, as if she was thinking about something.Not long after, she made a noncommittal expression, but her mouth was relaxed a lot after all, not as firm as before.

"Well... I think I'll give it a try, but you'd better not expect anything from my attitude."

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

"It's easy for you to say..."

After walking out of the classroom, the four of them took the teaching materials and strolled in the corridor.Ron glanced at Harry and couldn't help complaining
"There's only one vending machine right now, and it's still in the Hufflepuff common room, and the Hufflepuff students won't share it with us."

"Indeed, those cunning little badgers won't even tell us where their break room is. They won't even offer them extra money to help bring a little candy!"

Draco held his potions textbook and notebook in his hand, flipping through the content of this lesson, subconsciously took over the conversation.And the emotion is rich, and there is a sense of indignation behind it.

"They actually told me that there's only so much candy. It's not even enough inside Hufflepuff, so they won't sell it to me. No matter how much money is added!"

Draco's words were sincere and he gritted his teeth, making Harry even look sideways.

However, after hearing his words, Ron's eyes lit up immediately.

"Aha!!!"

Unprepared, Ron yelled in cheers, the loudness of the voice startled all the remaining three people.Subconsciously turned to look at him.

Looking around, I saw Ron was looking excited, jumping up and down, dancing, happy like a monkey.

Then he reached out and pointed at Draco like a proof.shouted loudly

"And you said you didn't go to the Hufflepuff lounge!!! You went!! I knew it!!!"

For a moment, Draco felt his temples throbbing violently. He closed the book, wishing he could pull out his wand the next second and show the orangutan a little bit more.

At the same time, I wished I could give myself two slaps, and then silently threw the idea of ​​caring for the mentally retarded in my head back into the trash can.

"Weasley! I'm going to kill you!!!"

However, when the air was gradually filled with a happy atmosphere, suddenly, a figure rushing out from behind the four of them knocked the four of them who were proudly dancing and dancing non-stop.

The man's speed was not uncomfortably fast. Even if he didn't hit the ground, he grinned his teeth in pain just by rubbing against Ron's shoulder.

"Damn it, I didn't know that in the corridor..."

After standing still, just when Ron was gnashing his teeth angrily and was about to raise his head to curse something, the familiar touch of red on the figure's head made him stunned on the spot again.

That was none other than one of his twin brothers - Fred Weasley.

At this moment, he was holding a bag full of candies, and after rubbing a few meters on the ground, he stopped and looked back at Ron.

Before Ron could react, another brother, George Weasley, came after him, and he also held a lot of candy in his arms.

"You hurt me, Ron." Fred freed up a hand, rubbed his shoulder, and joked at Ron with a smile on his face.

"Hi, did you just finish class, Ron?"

George also stopped, panting heavily, and greeted his little brother.

Regardless of grinning his teeth because of the bump on his shoulder just now, Ron's eyes fell directly on the bags of candy they each took slowly, and even forgot the pain for a while.

"Where did you get that?!!! So much candy?"

He opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and couldn't help shouting.

"Don't you guys know?" said the twins Qiqi
"The house-elf has already installed the second machine at the entrance of the cafeteria!"

"But, there should be a lot of people, right? How did you get it...I mean, it's too much, right?" Harry couldn't help but interjected after hearing what the two of them were saying.

Hearing this, Fred and George showed "unfathomable" smiles on their faces.

But Fred didn't keep it secret, and told the four of them what he had done very straightforwardly.

"It's true that there are a lot of people...but we threw a big dung egg into it while they were robbing!"

"Yes!! And not only that!! Filch was maintaining order there, but the two of us took advantage of his inattention and kicked him hard in the ass!!!" George then added excitedly , While talking, dancing with hands and feet, it looks like an upgraded version of Ron just now.

"Okay! We're leaving, hurry up, I think the candies should be almost sold out! The house elf in clothes said that if they are sold out, we have to wait until all the candy vending machines are installed It will be restocked later.”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left here again, apparently wanting to run away early to avoid being caught by the victims just now.

Watching the two figures disappear at the corner of the corridor without a trace.The eyes of Harry, Ron and Draco lit up at the same time.

"Go!!!!" X3
The three shouted in unison, and then they couldn't care about anything else, as if they were desperate, they turned around and ran towards the cafeteria in the opposite direction where the Weasley twins ran over just now...

There was only one Hermione left who hadn't figured out what was going on, messing around in the wind alone.

When she finally came to her senses, not to mention those three people, even the shadows had already disappeared.

Hermione looked at the direction they were leaving, hugging the book, her small face was puffed up, and her eyebrows were about to rise.

"Hmph, boys!!"

The small leather shoes under his feet stomped fiercely on the ground, in order to vent his anger.

After venting, taking a deep breath, Hermione shook her head chicly, leaving the three of them alone, and walked straight towards the library.

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

Soon, at the entrance of the cafeteria, after a fierce battle, Harry, Ron, and Draco finally won the final victory.

Each of them got what they wanted. Although from the outside, even the most delicate Draco became a lot more embarrassed, the smiles on the faces of the three became more and more overflowing.

"By the way, where's Hermione?"

Chewing chocolate happily in his mouth, suddenly, Ron seemed to realize something, and asked the other two people beside him vaguely.

With a licorice stick in his mouth, Draco exchanged glances with Harry who was holding a gum candy, and Qiqi shook his head.

"I do not know…"

.........

"Draco, where are your two friends?"

In the cafeteria, the three of them found a seat at random, and spread all the candies they bought together. While eating, Harry seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked abruptly

"It seems like I haven't seen them for a long time."

Draco, who was reading a book while biting a licorice stick, was slightly taken aback. He raised his head and looked at Harry.

"What? Which two friends?"

"Fatty, two big fat ones, they seem to be called Goyle and Crabbe." Ron obviously understood who Harry was talking about, swallowed what was in his mouth, and reminded

"They..."

Draco's eyes flashed a bit of clarity, he lowered his head not too unexpectedly, and continued to read the book in front of him.

"They are not my friends, they are just my attendants..."

"Since you are a follower, you can follow me or others. Is this normal?"

"So." Ron glanced at Draco, probably wanting to gossip, and continued to ask.

"Who are they with now?"

"Brace Zabini." Although Draco said it pretending to be relaxed, Ron and Harry still faintly heard something strange from his tone.

After all, they are still just children. Although they say they don't care, they are still people who have always been by their side. If they say they have never had any feelings, it must be impossible.

Ron and Harry looked at each other, then tacitly chose to bypass this topic and talk about other content.
