Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 37 The Wizard
"looks great!"

Harry stood up, holding the clothes by the shoulders with both hands, and straightened his arms.

Looking it up and down carefully, although the clothes were just an ordinary shirt, the surprise in Harry's eyes remained undiminished.

Immediately, he couldn't wait to put it on his body.

It's just...it seems a little small.

Harry took a deep breath and retracted his stomach.

After the clothes were put on, he felt that his whole body was tightly stretched by the shirt, and it became quite difficult to even move his arms.

Even so, when he looked down and saw Dobby's expectant expression, the smile on his face was still bright.

"Just right!"

He nodded and motioned to Dobby.

Hearing Harry's words, Dobby finally breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved.

"Dobby was worried that Mr. Potter would not like it. Seeing that Mr. Potter liked it so much, Dobby was relieved."

After speaking, he sat down on the bed again.

"This dress is so good, I plan to wait until my birthday to wear it... For now, I'd better fold it up and put it away."

Feeling as if he was going to be out of breath, Harry hurriedly found an excuse, while speaking, struggled to take off the clothes on his body, and changed into the clothes he was wearing before.

"call……"

He let out a big mouthful of breath, and finally felt a lot more comfortable.

Quickly putting the clothes on the bed, Harry immediately looked up at the gift from Mr. Charlie.

"Now it's time to unwrap Mr. Charlie Black's gift!!"

Seeming to have noticed Harry's gaze, Dobby jumped off the bed a little excitedly, and agitated
"Mr. Harry, take it apart and have a look! Dobby guesses that Mr. Charlie must have prepared a lot of good things for you!"

Listening to Dobby's words, Harry carefully picked up the slightly deformed gift box.

After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head, took a deep breath, and put the gift back on the bed as if with much perseverance
"...Let's forget it first. I want to wait until my birthday to open Mr. Black's present."

Hearing this, Dobby, who was still a little excited, also stopped.

He scratched his head with his hands, somewhat puzzled by Harry's purpose.

After all, house-elves don't really understand what humans mean by birthdays.I can't understand the meaning of this weird ritual sense of human beings.

In their view, they will be very happy when they receive a gift.You should be happier when you unwrap the gift!
As for keeping presents and deliberately putting them aside for later opening, this is too strange.

Dobby's ears drooped a little, but he didn't say much, just nodded.

"Well, it's a gift from Mr. Potter anyway, and Mr. Potter can open it whenever he wants."

Harry smiled and didn't say anything more, but first folded the clothes that Dobby sent and put them on the bed.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully moved the unopened gift under the pillow.

Then use the tuck of the quilt to reveal a little gap, in case Dudley can find it.

Although judging from the current situation, let alone entering Harry's room to find things, Dudley could not help but shiver with fright whenever he met Harry.

But to be on the safe side, he still decided that he should take strict precautions.After all, that was the first birthday present I received...

After everything was done, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and looked at Dobby again.

At this moment, Dobby was standing on a small stool not far away.Looking around the room, it seemed that he was full of inexplicable curiosity about this dusty place.

"Sorry, the room is a bit dirty..."

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment. Although the messy environment here had nothing to do with him directly, he still explained

"I was going to clean it..."

While speaking, he stretched out his finger, pointing to the broom and mop that had just been thrown aside.

"In the end you came."

"Do you clean up?"

Hearing Harry's words, Dobby's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Call Dobby!"

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Harry's answer, but stretched out his hand as if he should have done so.Swipe at the broom and mop that collapsed on the ground!
Immediately, the cleaning tool seemed to be infused with soul, and with a slight tremor, it stood up straight from the ground on its own.

Harry opened his eyes wide, held his breath subconsciously, and couldn't help looking at Dobby.

Although he had vaguely guessed a lot, neither Mr. Black nor the sudden Dobby could be like the ordinary people he encountered in his previous life.

But guesses are guesses, everything is conceived in his head.

And since he has been living in the Muggle world, it is naturally the first time he has seen such a miraculous scene...

If he had to describe it, it would be like watching a magical close-up magic. (Although he has never seen any magic tricks, he just heard about it by accident when Dudley and his friends boasted about their experience of going to see live magic tricks...)
It wasn't over yet, under Harry's stunned expression, Dobby began to command them skillfully and cleaned the whole room.

"This... what is this!?"

Harry blinked, took off his glasses again, wiped them on his clothes and put them back on.It was finally determined that this was not magic.

"magic!"

For example, he replied.

While talking, he lowered his raised hand again, and turned his head to look at Harry.I no longer care about the brooms and mops that are working on their own.

"You're a magician!?!"

Harry felt like his heart was about to jump out, and the excitement in his eyes became even more uncontrollable.

It seemed that he was much happier than when he received the birthday present.

"No! How is that possible!?"

Dobby was taken aback by Harry's astonishing words, quickly shook his head, and explained in surprise
"I'm nothing more than a house-elf..."

Having said this, he scratched his head again, and seemed to think that Mr. Harry probably didn't understand the meaning of the so-called house-elf at this time, so he continued to explain
"It's the wizard's servant..."

"Wizard..." Harry murmured the word.

"So... Mr. Black is actually a wizard!?"

"Of course!" This time Dobby nodded without hesitation, and there was an undisguised reverence in his eyes.

"Mr. Charlie Black is the most powerful wizard...he is the most respectable one among all wizards!!!"
