Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 225 This Is Voldemort's Thing
After listening to Dobby's explanation, Charlie was speechless for a while.

Even though he has come into contact with thousands of different elves, it is really the first time he has seen one with such a strange brain circuit as Dobby.Thinking about it, it can be regarded as one of the rare wonders in the elf world.

At this point in his thoughts, Charlie couldn't help but laugh.After shaking his head, he had no choice but to order the elves around him to untie him.

It can be seen that Dobby's behavior really frightened his security guards at the very beginning, otherwise, they would not have been tied so firmly, leaving no gaps between the ropes and ropes. I'm afraid even an elephant can't break free in the intertwining, let alone a malnourished elf like him.

Listening to Charlie's words, Dobby's face showed an inexplicable joy and pride, as if it was a very honorable thing for Mr. Black to order them to untie himself.

"Look! Dobby has already said that Dobby is already a free elf, and Dobby knows Mr. Black...you didn't believe it just now, aha, how about it now, believe it!"

Taking advantage of the time when the two security guards were untying the rope for him, Dobby's mouth was not very quiet, and he said triumphantly to the two elves with a tone that was almost arrogant.

Fortunately, as little elves who have received ideological education in the factory, the quality of the two security guards is obviously much better. Facing Dobby's words, they did not respond, but honestly solved the problem for him. After pulling out the rope, they retreated to the side in an orderly manner.

Charlie was speechless for a while, and simply ignored him and focused his attention on the box placed on the ground.

"Is this the gift Lucius gave me?"

Slowly leaning down, he squinted his eyes and looked at the old and ordinary wooden box in front of him with irrepressible curiosity, while asking Dobby.

"Yes! Mr. Black." Hearing Charlie's question, Dobby nodded his head hastily, and then jumped up from the sofa. He flashed to his side with a "swoosh" and continued.
"Mr. Malfoy specifically told me to hand it over to you before he left."

Charlie didn't speak. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and gently brushed across the wooden box.

When the fingertips moved slightly, a layer of magical brilliance came into being.With the movement of his hands, in a short while, the dust and dirt that were originally attached to the surface of the box seemed to have life, and they all drifted away, disappearing from the midair without a trace.

And it wasn't until this time that the original old and ordinary box finally revealed its original appearance - only a logo composed of a skull and a snake was impressively branded in the center of the box.

When that mark appeared, for a moment, the entire department fell silent as if under a silencing spell.

Even Charlie's heart couldn't help beating violently. In his slightly squinted eyes, the pupils shrank unconsciously to the size of a pinprick following his thoughts.

Since Charlie came in, he had been quietly sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and Du Lu, who seemed to be asleep, finally opened his eyes.The original turbid eyes under the eyelids suddenly burst into unprecedented turmoil and waves.

"It's... Voldemort's stuff."

The cane stuck on the ground rolled a few times with Dulu's movements.The seemingly subconscious action left a faintly visible pit on the granite floor.

On the forearm, which was even shriveled compared to Dobby, there were also blue veins for a moment, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

After a while, he finally shook his head and closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened just now, continuing his lack of joy or sorrow.

"Russell..."

Suddenly, when everyone was still getting more and more breathless in this terrifying silence and atmosphere, Charlie suddenly stood up, called Russell beside him, and broke the quiet atmosphere at the same time.

"Yes! Master Charlie."

Russell also quickly came back to his senses, walked quickly to Charlie's side again, raised his head and responded.

"Get it to my office for me."

"Good host."

Although the black demon mark on the box made him feel disgusted and repulsed from the bottom of his heart, after hearing the master's order, Russell did not hesitate. After nodding in response, he walked forward without hesitation, grabbing After holding the box, it turned into a flash of light together with it, and disappeared in front of everyone.

It wasn't until the box left with Russell that the oppressive atmosphere finally seemed to ease, and even Charlie could still hear the voices of several elves who secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting aside the matter of the box for the time being, he planned to study it by himself after returning to the office.At this moment, Charlie's attention returned to Dobby again.

Immediately, his expression returned to the gentleness he had when he opened his mouth, and he asked

"Thank you for helping me bring something so important, Dobby."

"It's okay, this is what I should do, Mr. Black!" Dobby proudly patted his chest, which had no flesh and could almost see the bones. Although he said so, he was as tall as two cattail fans He raised his flapping ears, revealing his joy at being thanked by Charlie at the moment.

Charlie still smiled, and continued to ask, "Now that the things have been delivered, where are you going next?"

"Of course it is—"

Just when Dobby was about to answer without hesitation, the next second, it seemed to be stuck, and it stopped abruptly when it was about to speak.

That's right, it almost forgot, and now it is no longer the elf of the Malfoy family. Mr. Malfoy gave him freedom, which means that he will never be able to return to the Malfoy family's mansion in the future.

Unprecedented confusion appeared in Dobby's eyes for a moment, and even the ears that had just been raised were drooped again at this moment due to confusion.

As an elf living in Malfoy's mansion since he was a child, even though he has always longed for freedom, when freedom really comes, it loses his mind about the vast future ahead.

The joy of gaining freedom seems to be diluted at this moment, but instead, there is a burst of fear and anxiety about the unknown.

When Dobby was sluggishly facing this question and didn't know how to answer it for a while, Charlie said softly

"I can understand how you feel at this moment...but don't worry, you have just been freed, and you have a lot of time to decide what you should do. If you want, you can temporarily live in the factory, and I will arrange someone A room for you. How about until you actually have everything planned?"
