Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

"Mr. Black, are we going this way?"

"Mr. Black, how many times have you been to the Muggle community?"

"Mr. Black, are you bored? Or I'll sing you a song... They taught me to sing it when I was in the tavern last time."

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

Probably because it was the first time to drive for Charlie. In the driver's seat, since getting in the car, Peng Peng's mouth has not stopped. Charlie glanced at it, and then excitedly talked about some completely meaningless topics.

"........."

Charlie closed his eyes and lay back slowly.Leaning against the exquisite pure leather backrest, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted agreeing to Peng Peng's request.You know, it's at least a few hours away from London, where Ryan is.

If he kept talking like this during this period of time, it would definitely be a big disaster for Charlie...

"Ugh"

Reluctantly, after sighing, Charlie had no choice but to turn his head away, ignore Peng Peng, and look out of the car window at the scenery along the way.

The heavy snow that was still falling in the morning has now stopped.People with cheerful smiles came out of their rooms and strolled on the sidewalk.Accompanied by the nameplates printed with Christmas logos and special decorations on the street, they form a harmonious scene that makes people unconsciously feel comforted.

Even Charlie unconsciously smiled slightly through the glass.

"Oh my god...what an amazing Muggle"

Seeing that Mr. Black no longer answered his words, Peng Peng didn't mind. Instead, he followed his gaze and looked out the window, and then he couldn't help sighing.

"Mr. Black, in my opinion, these Muggles are more remarkable than wizards in the wizarding world."

"Ok?"

Charlie raised his eyebrows, and looked at Peng Peng in surprise.

And after Peng Peng sighed, he seemed to remember that Mr. Black sitting behind him was also a wizard, so he hurriedly turned around and added another sentence

"Except, of course, Mr. Black! You are the greatest in the world, unmatched by all!"

However, Charlie didn't care about his recklessness. After all, as an old man who has been following him for ten years, he still understands the character of this guy who doesn't talk much about his brain.

He shook his head, but instead became a little interested in what Peng Peng said just now, and asked casually

"Why do you think so?"

Hearing that Mr. Black took the initiative to talk to him, his energy suddenly rose again, and after flapping his ears back and forth a few times, he took over the conversation and said happily
"Look—"

Peng Peng stretched out his hand and pointed to the brightly colored Christmas tree outside and the towering buildings in the distance.

"I heard Dursley say... When he was a child, he lived in a village not much different from other wizarding places. At that time, he didn't see so many high-rise buildings, or street lights or shops... "

"continue."

Charlie's expression was calm and he couldn't see any other emotions. He just nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Peng Peng.

"As a result, look... In just a few decades, the entire Muggle world seems to have changed!!"

When Peng Peng spoke, he danced with joy, his eyes twinkled, full of unbelievable surprise and undisguised envy.

It can be easily seen that he is not because Charlie has nothing to say, but that he really believes that this kind of weak creature without magic is far more remarkable than they seem.

Decades, for a Muggle, may be most of the life.But for elves, who have a lifespan of more than 200 years, it's not that long.

For the British magic world with hundreds of years of history, it can only be called a blink of an eye...

However, during this inconspicuous time, Muggle society has undergone countless evolutions and changes, and the frequency of its updates is staggering.

This can't help but make people feel dazed... If it continues at this speed, it won't be long before the magic that wizards are proud of will lose its original deterrence in the eyes of Muggles and become a ridiculous toy .And at that time, they will have to re-emphasize their attitude towards these huge neighbors...

"You know what, Pumbaa."

Charlie's eyelids drooped, he no longer looked out the window, but leaned on the leather cushion in a comfortable position, and then said quietly.

"Dumbledore told me the same thing not long ago."

"real!?"

This was really a surprise for Peng Peng.He immediately widened his eyes, turned his head abruptly, and confirmed with excitement

"You mean, Albus Dumbledore once said the same thing!?"

Albus Dumbledore's name was popular among the factory elves.

Because nearly half of the elves around Charlie Black, including Kobe, were abducted by him at Hogwarts back then.Therefore, Albus Dumbledore's kindness and respect have been greatly promoted.

It also makes the elves believe that in the magical world, there is still a kind of wizard who will face up to their existence and treat them as an independent individual.

Because of this, even Peng Peng, who was full of ambiguity and dissatisfaction with wizards, couldn't help being excited when he heard Charlie's words.

It was as if he somehow had a subtle connection with that great character.

Charlie nodded with a smile, then took a deep breath, and continued

"At that time, I also thought about this question...Why are Muggles developing at a terrifying speed even though they are also human beings, while wizards still live a life similar to that of the previous generation, or even the previous generation. "

"Then... have you thought about it?"

Peng Peng couldn't help but let go of the accelerator a little, blinked his eyes, and asked curiously

"magic."

His answer was concise and concise, he only gave one word and did not continue to say anything.

And after he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth raised a bit wider, and the smile on his face became wider accordingly.

It was a sarcastic smile, maybe if it was Russell, he would understand what Charlie meant.But in Peng Peng's eyes, he just felt inexplicably unfathomable, and didn't understand anything else.

"Magic, magic? . . . Sorry, Mr. Black, I don't understand."

Peng Peng scratched his head and looked at Charlie who didn't know what he was laughing at, so he had to ask again dryly.

"You'll understand later."
