Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

When the carnival is over, only the solitude after the hustle and bustle is left.In the blink of an eye, all the guests who had gathered together had already left.

Even the little elves, who have always been energetic, finally felt tired after playing around like a fool, so after greeting Charlie, they teleported back to their room in twos and threes contentedly .

Charlie casually took a bag of gingerbread from Aberforth and brought it back to the office.

After the office was closed again, he let go of the perfect pair he had maintained for a long time, lazily tore off the buttons on his neckline, stroked back his fallen hair, and finally collapsed on his lap skillfully. On the top, while crossing Erlang's legs, he ate the cold gingerbread in his hands without any image.

He glanced at the wall clock on his wall, and the pointer on it stood at 12:30, which represented that Christmas had passed completely and a new day had begun.

After staring at it for a while, he boredly withdrew his gaze, continued to taste the taste of gingerbread when it was crushed in his mouth, suppressed his fatigue and sleepiness, and waited patiently for Lucius' "Christmas gift" 's arrival

The time passed little by little like this, and in the blink of an eye, the minute hand on the dial had moved more than half a circle, and Charlie had already eaten all the gingerbread in his hand.

Just when Charlie sat up again from his seat, frowned slightly and looked at the door, thinking that Lucius Malfoy was not celebrating April Fool's Day with him.A familiar knock on the door revived him.

"Russell—what's the matter at this late hour?"

Charlie raised his brows slightly, and while speaking, he skillfully buttoned the buttons, sat upright on the seat again, and resumed his usual performance in front of people.

"Good evening, Master Charlie."

Outside the door, Russell's voice sounded.

"I just received a security report from the night watch tonight. A very weird house elf was caught. He was sneaking around outside the factory gate. He suspected that there was something wrong, so he was arrested."

"Very weird house-elf???"

As soon as this remark came out, Charlie was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked again: "What's so weird?"

"Uh... Actually, Russell just got the news, and I haven't had time to see it yet, but I just heard from the security guard who caught him..."

Outside the door, it seemed that even Russell had encountered such a thing for the first time, and he was at a loss for words.Scratching his head and trying to organize his words, he reluctantly said
"The elf was wearing a wizard's cloak, but he was wearing a pillowcase under the cloak, and he was carrying a big and broken box, and his body was dirty. He didn't say anything after being caught. , just kept yelling there... shouting something like 'Dobby is a free elf now! Dobby wants Mr. Black, hurry up and bring Dobby Mr. Black...' , and his attitude was extremely bad, after being controlled and brought into the factory, he slipped like a loach and tried to escape from the hands of the security several times."

Having said this, Russell pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, paused for a second, and then continued...

"If it wasn't for the factory's special restrictions on the elf's teleportation area, I'm afraid it would really make him run away."

"..." After listening to Russell's words patiently, Charlie couldn't help but become weird.

He pursed his lips, feeling inexplicable for a moment.Reluctantly, after shaking his head, Charlie stood up from his seat, stretched out his hand and made the coat that was hanging on the hanger float into the air, and flew back to himself.

"Okay...okay...let's go and see what's going on with this weird little elf."

With some teasing jokes, Charlie is not sleepy at this time.After lazily stretching, he opened the door of the office, and together with Russell, walked unhurriedly to the place where Dobby was being held.

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

"Let go of Dobby!

Dobby is a free elf!

"

In the security department, even though he was firmly tied up, Dobby still yelled loudly, and from time to time he even had the strength to try to break free from the shackles of the rope.

Maybe it was because he had never encountered such a thing before, or because Dobby's voice was too loud, and all the elves in charge of security woke up for a while.

Even as a supervisor, Dulu, who is almost over 200 years old, sat on the seat with his crutches supported, his eyelids drooped, and he looked at the shriveled little elves who were clamoring in front of him without sadness or joy, waiting for Charlie Bull to come. The arrival of Mr.

"Could this be a conspiracy by those pure-blood nobles??"

"Can this guy bite?"

"It's so pitiful, it seems that the brains that have been tortured by those hateful nobles are not good..."

………………

Just as a group of elves were whispering, as if they were looking at some new species, the door of the Security Section opened, and Charlie and Russell walked in.

After seeing Charlie, Dobby, who was still yelling at the top of his voice, stopped abruptly, and his eyes lit up, as if he had found a backer, he urgently called out:
"Mr. Charlie! Mr. Charlie! It's me, Dobby! Dobby once saw you in the Malfoy mansion, do you remember?"

Looking at Dobby, who was almost tied up in front of him, but still very energetic, Charlie couldn't help but helped his forehead, and nodded dumbfoundingly.
"Yes, I remember you, Dobby, you were still hiding in the closet at that time, I think this should be the first time the two of us met?"

"Yes, yes! Just as you said, Mr. Charlie!" Dobby was even more happy when he heard Charlie's words, and nodded his head in a hurry, almost shaking his head out of the phantom.

"So, what's going on, I heard my subordinates report to me that you were sneaking outside the gate of the factory, and you didn't answer any questions?"

Dobby's body, which was struggling to hold the pupa, stopped, and after thinking for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

………………

It turned out that, because he didn't know that Charlie's Candy Factory had special restrictions against elves, Dobby, who was carrying Lucius' gift, didn't take the path of the fireplace, but directly planned to teleport directly into the factory .

The ending is naturally predictable, it was abruptly blocked outside the gate of the factory.It happened that the elves were having a carnival, even the elves on duty were not there, so he had no choice but to hang around the door like a headless chicken, until the security guard who came back found him, and then he successfully entered the factory .

As for why it asked questions and didn't answer.It was purely because he kept in mind the entrustment that Lucius gave him when he finally left, and said "Dobby is a free elf" several times...
