Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

"Ha, it looks like I'm coming back just in time."

Outside the candy factory, as the door shaft squeaked and the iron door slowly opened, a dark green old-fashioned muscle Dodge Challenger roared the accelerator, and Charlie's car drove into the yard one by one.

After the car door was opened, Abufors was seen walking out of the car with a smile on his face, holding two paper bags that were filled to the brim.

Then he came to Charlie's car, bent down and knocked on the glass, talking happily.

"I just came across a store on the street that was on sale. They sold Christmas cakes, wine, and gingerbread in the shape of a human. I didn't hold back and bought some..."

After finishing speaking, he put the paper bag in his hand on the roof of the car, then with one free hand, he took out a piece of gingerbread from the paper bag, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Hmm... It's a bit cold, but the taste is not bad. Although it's not as good as the ones baked by Russell and the others, it should be quite delicious in the Muggle world. Do you want a piece, Charlie?"

At this moment, compared with when he first came, Abuforth has already become another look.Wears a black jacket emblazoned with "Dragon" and a pair of heavy washed twill jeans.

Even the long hair and beard, which were originally loose and wanton, were meticulously combed and tied into braids.

Coupled with his already strong body and his angular face, he already looks like a standard punk boy.

After looking carefully through the glass, Ryan turned his head to Charlie and asked
"Is this the person you invited today?"

"No." Charlie smiled subtly, and while slowly opening the car window, he continued

"This is Aberforth, my dear teacher. I think you've heard his name, haven't you, Leon?"

Hearing Charlie's words, Lai En was stunned for a moment, and the originally casual and flat expression on his face also froze for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the somewhat familiar face.

After a while, it seemed finally confirmed, Lai En's expression returned to normal, and he nodded in understanding.

Of course he knew Aberforth.

After all, when he was in Slytherin back then, he drank a lot of fire whiskey from the Hog's Head Bar... As for this teacher who only existed in Charlie's words, although Ryan had never really met him, he also knew him. He is Albus Dumbledore's younger brother.

At this moment, seeing the expression between the brows and the face that is very similar to the headmaster, it naturally overlaps with the image that he has never seen before in his memory.

"Of course... I often heard you mention it at that time."

As Lai En spoke, he straightened his back slightly, and bowed slightly to the old man outside the car window to show respect.

"Oh?!"

As for Lai En, Aberforth didn't have the slightest impression. When he opened the car window and saw the two people inside, his eyes couldn't help but widen a little. He was about to put gingerbread into his mouth. It stopped there, as if seeing something unbelievable, and let out an exclamation

"It's so strange... I thought your only friends were elves. I didn't expect to bring a... wizard into the factory."

He murmured a few words to Charlie first, then his eyes fell on Ryan again, and he continued to ask
"Hey, boy, what's your name?"

Generally speaking, it is not very polite to ask someone's name directly when they don't know each other.However, facing Aberforth's straightforward way of speaking, Lai En seemed to have heard it before, and calmly introduced

"White Lane."

After I finished speaking, I thought about it and added

"You can call me directly."

Obviously, this answer was very much to Aberforth's liking. As a rough man himself, he always dismissed those high-sounding, awkward and troublesome etiquettes.

So, the more simple and direct an answer is, the more Aberforth will like it to a certain extent.

Back then, Charlie was attracted by the delighted Aberforth and taught him every day because of his simplicity and directness, his maturity and decisiveness unlike children of his age...

"Hahahahahaha."

Aberforth laughed a few times, reached into the car with the big hand that had just finished taking the gingerbread and was still stained with icing sugar, and patted Ryan's shoulder heavily.

"That's right! Since you were able to be brought to his factory by Charlie on such an important day, the relationship between the two of you must be stronger than I imagined. Charlie's friends are my friends, and you can also directly Call me Aberforth!"

With the same smile on Lai En's face, he nodded and didn't say anything more.

And after saying hello, Aberforth didn't stay any longer to talk to the two of them, and picked up the stuff that was full on the roof of the car again.

"Okay! Then I'll put things away first, see you at dinner!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the inside of the factory with vigorous strides without looking back, leaving only a string of footprints on the white velvet snow and the two people in the car.

"I only brought Aberforth into the factory in the last month or so."

Before Ryan opened his mouth to ask about Aberforth, Charlie explained with a bit of humor and helplessness:

"The original intention is to let him close the bar, enjoy his retirement life, and ask some questions about magic by the way...

Who knew that he would be so interested in Muggle stuff.I had no choice but to take him out in my spare time to take a look in the world of Muggles.As a result, you also saw..."

Hearing this, Lai En also had a look of dumbfounding. He shook his head following Charlie's words, but he couldn't help but think of the many rumors he heard about Aberforth when he was in the wizarding world.
You must know that although they share the same mother as Principal Albus Dumbledore, when it comes to reputation, the two are completely opposite.

People who know him often comment on him as vulgar, rascal, and rude.There were even rumors that he had forcibly had sex with a goat for a while... In terms of reputation, he was already a stinky street, even compared to those dark wizards, I am afraid that it is not much worse.

"Perhaps Aberforth is more suitable for the Muggle world than the wizarding world..."

Suddenly feeling something in his heart, Lai En looked at the distant figure, his eyes moved slightly.Inhaling a mouthful of cold air into his lungs, he sighed sincerely.

Charlie didn't speak, but just cast a glance at Ryan, but he didn't know whether he was talking about Aberforth or himself.
