Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 178 Termination
Charlie didn't say much, and his expression didn't even change in the face of Voldemort's almost outraged cursing.

Still watching as calmly as before, the ghost watching people, neither human nor ghost, was wrapped in mist, rushed to the distant sky, and disappeared without a trace in Charlie's eyes.

And without Voldemort's control, the body that was originally flying in mid-air suddenly fell to the ground from a height of more than ten meters like a puppet with a broken string.

Seeing that the fall turned into a puddle of flesh, Charlie started to move.

Obviously, he hasn't forgotten his initial promise to Lucius.Since it was impossible to hand over the mastermind behind the scenes to him, as Voldemort's spokesperson, bringing his body back, at least on the bright side, could be seen.

The wand suddenly pulled back, and all the turbulent flames were withdrawn. Immediately afterwards, the trees that were almost carbonized struggled with their trunks, spreading their branches, and accurately engulfed Quirrell, who was falling vertically, and let him slowly placed on the ground.

At this point, it means that the battle has finally come to an end... I just don't know, how much impact will it have on the future if I didn't follow the original plot development, and my sudden disturbance of the situation will have a big impact on the future?
Forget it...that's not something he should think about now, as a tiny butterfly that has just flapped its wings, he can only focus on the present moment.

While dissipating the black flames that were still burning, he was thinking about how to explain this matter clearly.

Charlie secretly suppressed the fatigue in his head, raised his head, closed his eyes quietly, and exhaled deeply in the cold wind that was still mixed with the residual heat of the flame.

Suddenly, at this moment, he felt a sudden chill coming from the tip of his nose.

"Ok?"

When he opened his eyes, in the night sky all over the sky, pieces of pure white and flawless snowflakes came one after another, drifting down freely and freely.

Falling into the wreckage of the fire scene, he used his innocence to temporarily cover up the ugly darkness at this time, and also calmed down the tens of millions of terrified creatures in the Forbidden Forest, as if telling everyone that everything is over...

Looking at the white snow and ice, Charlie couldn't help but smile.

With a "plop", regardless of other things, he simply didn't think about anything, he lay down on the flat ground behind him, and let the heavy snow cover his body and Quirrell's corpse.

"Charlie, Charlie!?"

After an unknown amount of time, Charlie opened his eyes again amid a rustling sound, as if he had had a good night's sleep, which restored his energy a lot...

Not far from him, he saw the tall figure of Hagrid.

Hagrid stared, his brain shutting down again.Looking at the burned Forbidden Forest, and at the two people who fell in the snow, for a moment, there was an unspeakable anger in his heart, which made him clenched his fists tightly.

As the warden of the Forbidden Forest, and a pure man with a sincere love for magical animals, no one could have more reason to be angry than him at this moment.

Seeing the big trees that were originally flourishing but now dying, watching the lives turn into black charcoal in the sea of ​​fire... His heart couldn't stop bleeding.

The great pain came from this, causing him to become unprecedentedly ferocious after experiencing a daze.

It wasn't until this moment that Charlie knew that when this seemingly honest and honest Hagrid got angry, his beard and hair could really explode, just like the Zhong Kui that often appeared in Chinese New Year paintings, which was really scary.

"How is this going!!!!!"

The huge roar sounded like a hibernating giant bear being awakened by accident, and the scattered snow scene around the shock seemed to be faintly frightened and stopped in the air for a few seconds.

Charlie stood up in embarrassment, staggered and supported a tree around him, then pointed at Quirrell, who was already dead, and said in a "difficult" tone

"This guy used the Fierce Fire Curse... At the last moment, he tried to fight me to the death... Fortunately, I managed to dodge his attack, but the Forbidden Forest..."

Charlie didn't continue talking, because Hagrid's eyes were already bloodshot after hearing these words.

Coupled with Yaya beside him, he looks like a beastly berserker.

Out of trust in his friend, Hagrid didn't have the slightest doubt about Charlie's words, and directly threw away the pink parasol in his hand.

After yelling "Bastard!!!", he took Yaya beside him and rushed towards the corpse of Quilo in the snow, frantically swinging his iron fist to vent his anger.

And taking advantage of Hagrid's crazy output, Charlie, who had a "difficult" face, stood up straight calmly.

Slowly walked to Hagrid's side, and began to watch him beat the culprit of everything with one punch and one punch.

In this regard, Charlie didn't feel much guilt in his heart.

After all, if Voldemort hadn't suddenly fought back, wouldn't I have been forced to use fire escape?In the final analysis, there is a wrong and a debt, and the main responsibility lies on the other party... I am not cheating Hagrid, at most it is... Misleading.

Under the heavy snow, I don't know how long it took before Hagrid, who was riding on Quirrell and beating him up, calmed down the anger in his heart and stopped his fists.

Behind him, Charlie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Hagrid's fists were all on his body, making Quirrell look like a human being... At least for Lucius, he might still be able to tell who it was.

After venting, Hagrid, whose brain returned to calmness, remembered Charlie's situation. His eyes widened a little, and he stood up with a bang, turned his head, hurriedly supported Charlie, and asked road.

"Well, Charlie, where are you hurt?"

Charlie leaned on Hagrid's strong arm, first waved his hand, then pressed his temple with his eyes closed, and replied "weakly"

"I didn't suffer any serious injuries... It's just that I used too much magic, and my spirit was a little tired for a while."

Hearing this, Hagrid nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, then at Charlie, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes became strange.

"By the way... Charlie, what's going on? Why did Quirrell appear here, and... why are you here?"

Hearing this, Charlie opened his mouth and was about to explain, but before he could speak, he was stunned back by a shrill shout from a distance.

"uncle!!!!!!!!"

Both of them turned their heads subconsciously at the same time, and cast their gazes behind them.

I saw that not far away, Draco's eyes were wide open, and he looked at his uncle in disbelief, and tears filled his eyes for a while.

Even if he just arrived at the scene, even if he doesn't know anything yet...

But looking at his uncle, looking at Qi Luo lying on the ground, and the almost tragic scene around him... everything was connected together in his mind, and it was instantly produced as an answer.

Uncle must have come here because of me...! ! !
Obviously he just wrote a letter, so the uncle ran to Hogwarts without saying a word, and killed Quirrell! !

This... What a silent and heavy love! ! ! ! ! !

Thinking of this, tens of thousands of emotions all gathered to be moved, and the tears that swirled in the eyes also gushed out like a bank burst.

Without saying anything, because everything was kept silent, Draco shouted "Uncle" while crying and ran, rushing straight into Charlie's arms.

Feeling the warmth in Charlie's arms, he felt extremely at ease at the moment...

Charlie raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, patted Draco on the back, and glanced at Hagrid beside him.

It seems to be asking him why his nephew is here.

Hagrid scratched his hair, took a deep breath, and asked Draco

"Why are you the only one, Harry and Ron?"

Draco heard Hagrid's inquiry, and only then did he realize that his companions were still waiting for him.

Quickly lifted his head from Charlie's arms, pointed in the direction he came from, and said hastily
"Harry...Harry passed out on the way! I was afraid of any danger, so I asked them to wait there first, and I came over to have a look myself."

"what!?"

Hearing the news that Harry had passed out, Hagrid was taken aback immediately, and didn't care about why Charlie appeared here at this time, turned his head hastily and ran towards the direction Draco pointed just now.

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

It is naturally impossible for such a big thing not to attract the attention of Hogwarts Castle.

Soon, Dumbledore, who was wearing a coat and pajamas underneath, appeared in front of Charlie with a group of professors in similar attire.

.........

In the end, after a whole night of follow-up work, until the sun was about to rise, a group of people were able to make up for the damage caused in the Forbidden Forest...

"..."

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was yawning, pinching his temples in a sluggish way, and sighed to Charlie in front of him.
"Unexpectedly, less than half a month later, you came to my office again..."

"I didn't think so either."

Charlie brushed off the black marks still on his clothes, nodded in agreement, and replied.

"... 20.00% of the forbidden forest area was affected by the fire this time... A lot of trees were damaged, and the ecological environment in it was severely damaged... People and horses expressed their anger and asked me to give a reasonable explanation I have to say, you made too much noise this time."

"It's not me...you know."

Hearing this, Charlie, who was still cleaning his clothes, immediately sat up straight and made a statement.

"Hum..."

However, facing Charlie's cheeky denial, Dumbledore didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and just squinted at Charlie.Then there were two noncommittal nasal sounds.

"……cough"

Seemingly embarrassed by Dumbledore's eyes, Charlie continued after coughing twice.

"Although, I didn't do it. But—after all, I also participated in that battle... In order to express my sincerity, I would like to make a free donation to the damaged Forbidden Forest area in the name of Charlie Black..."

After finishing speaking, he carefully stretched out his hand, gestured tentatively, and asked
"What do you think of twenty-five thousand Galleons?"

"...just barely."

Having received Charlie's promise, Dumbledore opened his squinted eyes, sat up straight again, and regained his former style.

He looked directly at Charlie, and finally got down to business.

"Okay, Charlie, tell me now, what happened. To tell you the truth, until now, I'm still at a loss..."

coming!

Charlie thought to himself.Sure enough, what should come will come after all.

But he didn't panic too much, because one night was enough for him to come up with a reason to explain.

"It's... Voldemort."

After pausing for a moment, Charlie also became serious, spoke slowly, caught off guard, and gave Dumbledore an unexpected answer.

The spirit that was still tired from not having enough sleep was completely awakened by Charlie's words.

"Quirrell is just Voldemort's servant... He has been lurking in Quirrell's body, dormant in the school. Although I don't know why he came, but I think, Principal Dumbledore, you must know ?”

Shocked, Dumbledore's eyes flickered with light and dark.He nodded, as a default.But he didn't say anything, but waited for Charlie's next words.

"As for how I found out...it's all thanks to Severus."

"Snape?" Dumbledore seemed surprised, he raised his eyebrows, and asked subconsciously.

"The day after Draco was attacked, he wrote me a letter... In the letter, he told me about the suspicious things about Quirrell, and suspected that he was definitely hiding something wrong in the dark. The telling secret... So, I refocused on that professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who seemed to be submissive and rarely had any sense of presence."

"I see……"

A look of understanding appeared on Dumbledore's face.

But Charlie couldn't be sure whether this old fox-like character really believed in him, or put the cause and effect of this matter aside.

After Charlie finished speaking, Dumbledore closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the seat, and took a deep breath.It seems to be digesting this news, and also seems to be reviewing Quirrell's various behaviors in the past year during self-study.

"Okay... Thanks for your hard work, Charlie."

After a while, when he opened his eyes, his expression returned to the kindness and gentleness of the past, as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you for all you have done... There is nothing to do here, go and see Harry and the others."

"Where are they?"

"Because of yesterday's incident, I asked for a leave of absence for them. Now, if I remember correctly, they are probably all in the school hospital."

Charlie nodded thoughtfully, said nothing, and walked out the door.

"and many more……"

Just as he was about to step out of the door, Dumbledore behind him suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and stopped him again.

"It won't be long... Maybe there will be some things. I will invite you to come over then, okay?"

"of course."
