Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 231 Dumbledore's Change

"Master Charlie, are you awake?"

Vivien's temper came and went quickly, and after eating salt-baked dried rats, she returned to her original state, formed a ball at her special position, and started her life leisurely. take a nap.

And just as Charlie put down the letter and was thinking about why Principal Dumbledore would call him over, Russell's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Already awake."

Charlie stopped thinking, subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, and then responded.

The next moment, the door opened, and Russell ran in excitedly with a pile of unknown documents, his eyes shone with joy, as if he had lost his usual calmness.

The two calves were tossing and turning quickly, and they didn't slow down until they reached the desk. With a "crash", the document in his hand was placed in front of him.

Without waiting for Charlie to ask, Russell, who couldn't wait, spoke first, with a wave of excitement and admiration that could not be ignored, and reported loudly:

"Master!! "Wind-smelling Violet Candy" has set a new sales record. Now the letters from various candy dealers have filled my desk, and without exception, all want to order more quantities candy!!"

Speaking of this, Russell seemed to be afraid that Charlie would not believe him, so Russell hurriedly took out more than half of the letters from behind symbolically, and waved them twice in front of Charlie vigorously.About estimates, it already looks like a small twenty.

Vivien was woken up by Russell's noise. To express her dissatisfaction, she flapped her wings twice, lifted her furry body, and was about to use her paws to throw the document in front of her on the carpet according to the old rules. Fortunately, Charlie saw its premeditation clearly, so he shot in time and stopped the opponent.

"Goo——" Seeing that she couldn't make a move, Vivien didn't continue, but just changed the direction and pouted her buttocks to face Russell, and continued to sleep.

Listening to Russell's words, Charlie picked up the reports and sales records on the table, with a slight smile on his lips, but in his eyes, there was no surprise and excitement like Russell's. After all, in his opinion Before the sale of "Smell the Wind's Violet Candy", it was positioned against the original Charlie Factory's flagship product "Hazelnut Chocolate". enough mental preparation.

After just looking at it a few times, he put the file down again and asked a few simple questions.

"How much inventory is left in the warehouse?"

"Uh... there's still half of it."

"Notify the team leader on the assembly line, let's put down the production of ice plum sweets, strawberry star diamonds, and licorice sticks for the time being. In the past two days, we will focus on the production of "Smell the Wind's Violet Candy"...By the way, contact the material supplier and order one more Batch raw materials in case of emergencies.”

"Uh, yes...Okay, I understand Master Charlie."

Russell was excitedly making notes in his notebook, while nodding his head in a hurry to express his clarity.

"By the way, I'm going to Hogwarts this afternoon."

Just when Russell remembered to work hard, Charlie's order was carried out again, causing him to be slightly taken aback, and stopped the pen in his hand.

But immediately, Russell reacted in a hurry, and continued to ask, "Do you need Russell to prepare anything?"

After thinking for a moment, Charlie said, "Just follow the old way every year."

"Ok, I see!"

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

Perhaps because of time, when Charlie arrived at Hogwarts, he didn't meet Harry and Ron, not even the little wizards, the only Slytherin snakes he met , After seeing him, they all just stopped, watching him go upstairs as if seeing an idol, and didn't even have the courage to say hello.

"knock knock"

Standing in front of the principal's office, Charlie knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, can I come in?"

In the office, the familiar and gentle voice sounded quickly, saying with simplicity and a smile

"Ha, of course! Charlie, I was waiting for you."

Hearing this, Charlie also smiled, without hesitation, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Merry Christmas!!"

As soon as the door was opened, only Principal Dumbledore shouted:
But what he saw in front of him made Charlie slightly taken aback.

His eyes widened unconsciously, and he hesitated at the door. Looking at the old man sitting behind the desk, he didn't know whether to go in or not.

"What are you still doing, my child!"

Under the bushy and white eyebrows and beard, Principal Dumbledore was still as energetic as before, not like an old man who was over a hundred years old at all.

"Uh... yes, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore's voice pulled him back from his astonishment. Although he restrained the expression on his face, his eyes were still filled with a faint eccentricity.

It wasn't until he sat down on the chair that he reorganized his tone, and asked in a tactful and polite tone, "Principal Dumbledore, I'm sure you're all right here... You, you seem to be looking pretty good lately." good?"

"Ha, yeah, I feel the same way."

He seemed to be very happy with Charlie's words. He nodded and said in agreement. While talking, he subconsciously took out a piece of chocolate that had already been broken from the drawer, and stuffed it skillfully into his mouth.

"..." Charlie was indifferent, and unconsciously glanced at the candy vending machine in the corner behind Dumbledore. Sure enough... it was empty at the moment.

He continued to organize his language and tried to ask
"Then, have you noticed anything wrong recently?"

"Is there?" Principal Dumbledore frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that there is no other problem except that my robe suddenly became a little unfit."

This is the problem! ! ! !
Looking at Principal Dumbledore, whose face was so fat that he was almost like Aberforth, Charlie shouted in his heart.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart whether the candies sent here over the years were a bit too much, so that the style of feeding Principal Dumbledore was a little bit broken, and he was hesitating whether the gift he had just asked Russell to prepare was still available. necessary.

However, it was clear that Principal Dumbledore didn't realize that there was something wrong with him now, so he told Charlie the reason for calling him this time.

"This is Charlie..."

While talking, Dumbledore opened the drawer, slowly took out the Philosopher's Stone wrapped in parchment, and placed it on the desk in front of him.

"I hope you can help me return this Philosopher's Stone to my old friend Nicole Flamel."
