Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 195 I hope to get your forgiveness
"Good afternoon, Grandpa Dulu... Why are you here? Isn't it Russell's task to pick up Mr. Black?"

Slightly soothing the heart that was lifted just now, Peng Peng had a stiff but forced smile on his face, and asked Du Lu in a low voice, who was slowly retracting his crutches.

Du Lu ignored his greeting, but squinted his eyes, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Charlie raised his eyebrows. After a short period of surprise, the strangeness of Peng Peng in front of him naturally couldn't escape his eyes. Whether it was the crimson cheeks, the sluggish spirit, or the smell of alcohol all over his body... he didn't think much about it. , allowing him to restore what the other party experienced not long ago in a flash.

"I thought you should be with Russell and the others at this time."

Charlie said something thoughtful, and then subconsciously turned his head away, and cast a glance at Dulu beside him, whether it was intentional or not...

Du Lu's hunched waist couldn't help straightening up a bit, and he took a deep breath into his stomach, but he didn't say anything, but the dissatisfied expression when he looked at Peng Peng gradually turned into a bad mood.

And standing across from him, who has experienced Grandpa Du Lu's "education of love" for more than ten years, he is naturally very clear about the meaning contained in this look.Immediately, the scalp began to tingle, and the residual alcohol smell had completely dissipated.

For a moment, Peng Peng couldn't help but feel great remorse.If I had known that Russell wasn't here, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to find Mr. Black... Now I'm afraid it will become more ominous. God knows whether the crutches that didn't fall just now will hit him on the head again... No, maybe it will become even more brutal.

"I... Russell and I asked for leave..."

His voice was trembling, and he stammered and made a small, mosquito-like sound, explaining to the two people in front of him.

"Ask for leave..." Du Lu twisted the crutch on the ground a few times, and the tip of the stick rubbed against the concrete floor, making a rustling sound.

The atmosphere between the three of them immediately became quiet. Behind the silence, it seemed that a violent storm was about to form.

However, in the end, it was Charlie who broke the appalling silence... He glanced at Pumbaa helplessly, stretched out his hand and took off the hood on its head, and then resumed his steps, walking towards the office .

"Let's go, let's go back and talk about something."

As soon as these words came out, the invisible pressure on Peng Peng's head dissipated a lot.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, he shrank his neck, and took a careful look at Du Lu's face.

The other party just coughed twice, and didn't say anything more. After taking a deep look at Peng Peng, he moved forward with Charlie.

He finally let out a long breath.After patting his chest with lingering fear, he hurriedly kicked up his two short legs and hurriedly followed behind the two of them.

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

In the office, Charlie took off his heavy windbreaker, hung it aside, and returned to his office chair.

Du Lu also slumped on the sofa, his eyebrows lowered, and he looked at the ground quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Peng Peng, with his hood lifted, was still wearing the cloak that didn't fit well and had fallen to the ground, standing in front of the desk, looking nervously at Charlie in front of him.

"So, Peng Peng..."

After a moment, Charlie spoke.

"Did you come to see me for something?"

"Yes, Mr. Black."

Listening to Charlie's inquiry, Peng Peng nodded his head hastily first, but the intertwined fingers under his body were enough to see his entanglement at the moment.

He slowly raised his head and glanced at the boss in front of him.Seeing that his face was still the same as before, still calm and gentle, his beating heart was finally let go, which also allowed him to muster up the courage to speak

"Not long ago, I made a friend on the Muggle production line. His name was Dursley..."

"Dursley?!"

He had just finished speaking, but Charlie's expression was a little surprised. He repeated the familiar name that he had seen more than once recently, and his tone also changed slightly.

Even Dulu, who was on the sofa beside him, who was looking at the carpet by himself, raised his head and looked at the "child" in front of him in disbelief.

Peng Peng felt a little embarrassed, so he could only scratch his head, and continued
"Yes, Dursley. After getting along for a period of time, I found that human beings don't seem to be so bad and stupid... At least those Muggles are a hundred times better than the wizards I've seen... You are an exception, of course, Mr. Black."

Charlie and Du Lu tacitly turned their heads and looked at each other.No surprise, they all saw a bit of inexplicable expression in the eyes of the other party... It can't be said that it is weird or happy.

"Go on……"

Fortunately, when he turned his head and looked at Peng Peng again, Charlie restrained it very well, still nodded calmly, stretched out his hand, and signaled him to continue talking.

"And today, he asked me to go out to play, to that bar called the Leaked Cauldron..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be afraid that Charlie would misunderstand, so he quickly explained

"Originally, I actually didn't want to go, but I couldn't stand the hype he described. I didn't believe what he said about the paradise in this world, the land of bliss, so I planned to take a casual look with a critical purpose...the result, the result... "

"Did you criticize me in the end?"

Dulu stroked his beard, put the crutches aside, changed into a more comfortable position, and leaned leisurely on the soft sofa, his complexion looked much better than before, and he even brought up a few words between his words. Very joking.

"No..." Peng Peng's head plunged down all of a sudden, and he shook his head in shame.

Seeing him like this, Charlie couldn't help but smile a little.

He put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and continued
"And then? I guess you stopped me on the way just to tell me how you had a good time in the bar?"

"No no no no... not this one!"

Hearing this, Peng Peng waved his hands hastily, and quickly denied it.

After another moment of hesitation, he mustered up his courage and raised his head to look at Charlie.

"In the bar... Dursley told me something."

Charlie's expression moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't interrupt him, but waited for Peng Peng's next words.

"He once angered you with ignorance and contempt, causing you to punish him by turning his child into a pig's head..."

Peng Peng's entangled hands tightened a little, and after his Adam's apple twitched uneasily a few times, he said

"It's been so long now...Dursley wants me to express my apology and remorse to you in his place, hoping to get your forgiveness."
