Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 146 Goblin Branch
"Hi! Good afternoon, Russell!"

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

Subconsciously tugging on the tie around his neck, he was thinking where to find the group of Muggles when he happened to run into Hagrid who had just brought them to the factory.

Hagrid seemed very happy. He waved his hand, then narrowed his eyes, and after trying to identify it, he called out Russell's name to Kobe...

But Hagrid can't really be blamed for this... because in the eyes of humans, these elves do all look the same.

And it just so happened that Kobe's dress was so formal today, he even had a notebook under his arm.Its shape is surprisingly consistent with Russell, the secretary in Charlie's office.

Under such conditions, apart from Charlie who has been dealing with the elves, I am afraid that very few people can clearly separate them, so it is not surprising that Hagrid mistook the two...

Although he understood, Kobe couldn't help but froze for a moment, so he had no choice but to say

"Hello Hagrid... I'm sorry, I'm not Russell. My name is Kobe, and we probably haven't met each other, but I often hear Mr. Black mention you."

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

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

Under Hagrid's bushy eyebrows, his eyes couldn't help but widen a bit. After carefully sizing up the elf in front of him, he hurriedly bent down, held the other's little hand, and expressed his apology.

"It's ok……"

After shaking their hands in the air for a while, Kobe pulled them back again.The face also returned to the original calm.

He turned his head slightly, looked over Hagrid's huge body, and looked at the group of Muggles behind him.

After raising his finger and pointing, Kobe continued to ask

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

"Yes, that's right!"

Hagrid smiled generously, straightened up again, and stretched out his clay pot-sized slap, patting the back of the first person following him.

Although he has tried his best to restrain his strength, it is probably too scary for ordinary people.

Kobe, who was standing not far away, even felt that he could vaguely hear the muffled sound coming from the poor guy's body.

"Is it an internal injury..." Kobe thought involuntarily in his mind.

However, Hagrid hadn't finished speaking. After clapping twice, he withdrew his hand and continued.

"According to what Charlie and I told me, I brought back all the Muggles from the Leaky Cauldron, don't worry, none of them were exposed."

"Thank you very much." Kobe nodded, and after looking around at the crowd, he took out the lesson plan that had been under his arm and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that everything was going perfectly, the smile on his face grew even wider.

"Then please hand them over to me! Mr. Charlie should be waiting for you in his office now, so go over quickly."

"Thanks a lot!"

Hagrid didn't say much, anyway Charlie asked him to bring them to the factory.As for the rest, it is their internal secrets, and I have no interest in it.

Instead of wasting any more time here, it is better to go to Charlie as soon as possible.Maybe he still has some candies that he hasn't eaten, so he can share them together.

So, after the handover was completed, without the slightest hesitation, Hagrid took a big step, walked straight towards the workshop, and went to Charlie's office at the previous address.

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

Along the way, the Muggles headed by Dursley were all unconsciously looking around.

Since leaving the Leaky Cauldron, voices of uncontrollable exclamation have been heard in this team one after another.

"Look! Those wizards... they wear clothes that look like linen."

"Ah! Owl! Look, they actually sell owls! Isn't that a second-class national protected animal?"

"I remember I came here once when I was preparing the necessities for Hogwarts with my children... It seems to be called Diagon Alley, isn't it? It's just that we only visited bookstores, clothing stores, and The place that sells wands."

.........

.........

Hearing the murmur of discussion among his companions, Dursley was already speechless in astonishment... Looking at everything around him, it was like a wonderful dream.

This is different from the wizarding world he imagined before. In his previous mind, there would never be such a bustling commercial street.

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

Dursley looked up, the sun was shining brightly.The young wizards on broomsticks laughed and passed over their heads, causing him to smack his lips involuntarily, and subconsciously said
"I knew it was so interesting. When the little bastard went to that Hogwarts, I should have followed him as a guardian..."

However, in the middle of speaking, he immediately woke up again, and hurriedly covered his mouth, feeling somewhat confused in panic for a moment.It seemed that he didn't understand when he was brainwashed by those evil wizards.

Obviously, he endured the humiliation so that Dudley could change into a human again, and came to work in the evil Charlie Black factory, but before he even got to the factory gate, he almost forgot his original intention and fell into this... Tsk, cunning wizard, It was horrible.

However, as Hagrid continued to move forward and brought them to the factory through the fireplace, the original expectations of the crowd were extinguished in an instant.

Why?Because this place is so modern... Whether it is a factory building with a simple design, or a flat and smooth concrete floor, plus flowers and plants in the green environment, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a building in the wizarding world at all. .It is completely indistinguishable from those factories in the Muggle world.

However, soon, with the appearance of Kobe, the emotions of the crowd were re-mobilized.

The disappearing whispers sounded again.

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

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

"I know. I have known this creature before. If I remember correctly, it should be a branch of Goblin, living in a burrow."
