Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 63 Letter
Candy Factory, inside Charlie's office.

Russell stood by the desk, and carefully handed the envelope in Charlie's hand.

"Master Charlie, is it a letter from Hogwarts?"

"Letter from Hogwarts?"

Charlie took the letter, looked at the familiar wax marks on it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

But judging from his expression, he didn't see much surprise, as if he had already expected the arrival of this letter.

He carefully opened the envelope, gently pulled out the folded letter paper, and stretched it skillfully in his hands.

Suddenly, Charlie's nose moved, and he gently pressed the letter paper close to him, sniffing the faint sweet smell of his own candy coming from it, he couldn't help laughing.

He didn't read it immediately, but instead raised his head and laughed and teased Russell at the desk.

"Think about it, Russell. I remember that it has been more than ten years since I last received a letter with Hogwarts seal..."

Russell also smiled and nodded sincerely, and his huge ears like bat wings also fluttered.

"Back then Russell hadn't followed in your footsteps."

"yes……"

Listening to Russell's words, Charlie couldn't help but sighed, and a little melancholy that only belonged to middle-aged people arose in his heart.

But this emotion didn't last long on him.Soon, he adjusted and brought his attention back to his eyes.

To be honest, this letter still surprised him a bit.

Because in his original thinking, the letter he received, according to Albus Dumbledore's character, should be a personal letter from himself as usual, and there will be no Hogwarts logo stamped on it It is not a seal of sealant, but a lifelike phoenix.

You must know that although both were created by Dumbledore, the meanings expressed in them are quite different.

Compared with the private identity represented by the Phoenix mark, the school badge of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a real "business"...

Generally, letters with this kind of wax seal will only appear on the notices related to the specific affairs of the school, such as the admission notice issued every year, the purchase list of the school's internal items, and the notice of the appointment of the school's professors, etc... …

Thinking of this, even though he hasn't read the letter yet, Charlie's expression can't help but become a bit weird.

What's going on, could it be that Draco showed amazing abilities just after he arrived at Hogwarts, which made Dumbledore admire him, so he insisted on dragging his uncle over to be a professor...

If that's the case...it's not impossible...

However, if Dumbledore wants him to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts... then forget it

But then again, what else could he be teaching besides Defense Against the Dark Arts?Transfiguration spell?Then you have to ask Professor McGonagall if he agrees...

At the desk, Russell looked up, seeing the changes in the expression on his master's face, his heart couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't help but start thinking wildly like Charlie.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the channel? I remember that the Hogwarts channel is fine."

"Could it be that the supply of grotesque explosion sugar is not enough? Principal Albus Dumbledore wrote a letter to condemn Master Charlie's behavior of reducing the assembly line..."

After a long while, after suppressing the wild thoughts in his head, Charlie finally began to seriously read the letter in his hand...

As time passed bit by bit, the office became more and more silent.

Charlie's expression became more and more stretched as he had read most of the contents of the letter, and there was still a bit of strangeness in his eyes.

But Russell, who didn't know anything, watched his master's expression change several times and finally stretched again. The originally silent office was even more difficult for a while.

His brows were tightly frowned, and he subconsciously took out the small notebook that never left his body again from behind him. He lowered his eyelids and began to think about how to meet the needs of American suppliers and Albus Dumbledore. A perfect compromise between bullish needs.

This letter from Hogwarts, after excluding the formulaic greetings that differentiated it from personal letters at the beginning, the really useful content is only about [-] words.

So it didn't take long for Charlie to read it thoroughly.

When he slowly put down the letter and put it back on the desk, his expression became clear, and the corners of his mouth raised subconsciously.

Compared with the original expectation of the arrival of this letter, there was genuine surprise in Charlie's eyes at this moment, and there was even a hint of excitement mixed with this undisguised surprise.

"Russell..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes were clear, and he looked back at the right-hand man who was quietly standing in front of his desk, and shouted

However, just when he had just opened his mouth and had no time to say anything in the future, Russell suddenly raised his head, looked at Charlie with an excited expression as if he had thought of some ingenious plan, and said happily
"!! Russell has figured out a way!!! We can first move the production line that was originally planned to produce violet candy to Bingmei Tiantang! Then after dealing with those Yankees, we can find time to expand the original production line and make up for the violet candy. Production... But in that case, Violet Sugar will be delayed from our original date...one to three weeks!"

"?????"

Charlie's original plan to tell Russell was stuck in his throat, and he didn't say it. Hearing this series of sudden plans, the expression on his face gradually became complicated, and finally turned into doubt again.

For a while, one person and one elf fell into a strange silence again.

After a while, Charlie, who fully understood what had happened, finally pressed his temple, and helplessly threw the letter paper on the table in front of Russell.

"You'd better not do so much brain supplementation in the future, you're not very smart..."

Listening to Charlie's lesson, Russell shrank his neck, quickly took the letter paper, and scanned the whole letter from the beginning to the beginning of the ten lines at a glance.

"To my dear Charlie Black..."

"As the new school year begins..."

"...in the name of the current Headmaster..."

"...I invite you to return to Hogwarts to attend the opening ceremony and the sorting ceremony for new students..."

"Sincerely, I salute: Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Albus Dumbledore."

After the last line, when Albus Dumbledore's signature came into view, Russell's eyes widened and he raised his head suddenly.

"Master, you... are you going to Hogwarts!?"
