Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

As one of the oldest streets in Paris since its inception, "Montmorency Street" itself carries a history that is still alive.

A few years ago, whether it was the surrounding ancient style, the wooden houses and small stone buildings with a history of hundreds of years just by looking at the style, or the stone roads with many gullies that had been washed, grinded and baptized tens of thousands of times, all of them were It reveals an "old-fashioned" atmosphere, as if the shadows of people who lived here hundreds of years ago overlap with the people who are strolling on this street at the moment. Although the clothes are already different, but in the surrounding environment Against the background of the sky, but it doesn't feel that much abrupt......

But now, with the history well preserved, it has become a commercial street that mainly sells local specialties or souvenirs to deceive foreigners.The intricate sounds and many tourists have filled the whole street, and it seems that it is no longer as peaceful as before.

"Hey..." Putting down the note and looking at the scene in front of him, Charlie couldn't help laughing

"Master Nicole Flamel really knows how to choose a place... Living in seclusion in such a prosperous and popular place... has a special flavor."

After making a casual joke, Charlie didn't say anything more, and then disappeared among the tourists and disappeared.

When he followed the flow of people back and forth and came to the location of No. 51 Montmorency Street according to the note, there was only an empty space between No. 50 and No. 52.

However, no matter which No-Maj was passing by this extra "gap" in the tidy street, they seemed to skip it, and naturally shifted their attention to other places, without feeling the slightest difference. What is wrong.

It wasn't until Charlie raised the note in his hand facing the location of the open space that everything finally changed.On the note, the seemingly ordinary characters suddenly shone brightly in Charlie's eyes.The words seemed to have life, and in the constant changes and reorganizations, each lost its original face and turned into something that Charlie couldn't recognize. It seemed to be letters, but it was like a magic pattern, and it was like The oracle bone inscriptions carved on animal bones... But no matter what they are, in the end, they cannot escape the fate of disappearing. In Charlie's hands, under his eyes, the light gradually fades, together with the above characters, together approaching nothing.

This seemingly long period of time in Charlie's eyes was actually only about five short seconds.When the handwriting on the note disappeared completely, Charlie put down the note again. In the open space in front of him, a two-story stone building made of piled granite rose up from the ground, and most of the surrounding area was painted in such a grandiose manner Among the old buildings, it shows a slightly dilapidated and gray posture.

If it is said that this Montmorency Street has carried a long period of time, then Charlie can confirm that the unique and wizard-like building in front of him is probably the so-called history itself... Looking at the many above Traces, even if it's just the appearance, you can make up countless stories that happened around him.Either romantic, or tragic, or ordinary, or glorious... Countless stories are mixed together, intertwined and transformed, forming No. 51 Montmorency Street standing in front of me today.

It wasn't until the moment when Nicole Flamel's house really appeared in front of him that Charlie thought that the excitement in his heart had calmed down for a long time, and then "thud, thud" made trouble again, which made him unable to help but intentionally put this He straightened his straight waist forward again, pursed his lips silently but with complicated eyes, and looked at the stone building from top to bottom, every stone pillar or crack on the house number.

Yes, Charlie Black is nervous.This "top member of the Black family", who used money to convince the Minister of Magic, chatted happily with the headmaster of Hogwarts, and was surrounded by a group of big figures, felt nervous in front of the only legendary figure with a long history who lived to be 630 years old. .This feeling is several times stronger than when facing the crippled version of Voldemort not long ago.

After hesitating for a moment, after a while of hesitation, Charlie let out a deep breath of foul air, and finally healed his restless heart and restored it to its most perfect state.

He took a step earlier, completely disappeared from the sight of countless No-Majs, and stood on the steps of the house at No. 51, Montmorency Street.

On the finger, the dull ring shone bright red again, and in the blink of an eye, Charlie's modern No-Maj outfit of a down jacket and slacks disappeared without a trace, replaced by a thick suit The traditional wizard's gray linen robes, and a wide-brimmed high-topped wizard hat of the same color.After arranging everything properly and confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, Charlie finally walked up to the door and gently knocked on the door knocker that hadn't had any guests in decades.

"Knock knock..."

"Knock knock..."

…………

The sounds on the street seemed to disappear at this moment, only the rhythmic muffled sound of the door knocker hitting the wooden door echoed in Charlie's ears.

Fortunately, he didn't make him wait for too long. After knocking for about ten seconds, a soft halo suddenly appeared on the seemingly ordinary wooden door, and a faint light came from the position where the wooden door was knocked. Rippled outwards, like a layer of ripples on the surface of calm water, it was not calmed down until it covered the entire wooden door.

At the same time, Charlie also suddenly noticed a weak and ingenious magic resonating in an imperceptible part of his body, and after a ripple like the door, it quietly disappeared.

However, just this insignificant detail has already made Charlie's heart turbulent. You must know that if he hadn't noticed the change on the door and sensed himself according to the flow of magic, he would have been able to rely on his own induction alone. It is absolutely impossible to find such weak fluctuations.

Although it is just an inconspicuous detection magic, when I think that the main body of the spell is not a wizard, but the door in front of me as an alchemy item.And being able to make himself, who is already known for his fine control of magic, almost not notice, is enough to show what kind of attainments the owner of the house, Nicole Flamel, has reached in alchemy.

For a moment, Charlie's heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, began to speed up again.

"It's really exciting, Master Nicole Flamel."
