Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 6 The Ordinary Child That Can't Be Ordinary
Harry raised his head, his eyes met Charlie's eyes with a bit of ignorance.

Although he didn't understand what Charlie's words meant.But bursts of warmth still surged in Harry's heart... Perhaps, this is the feeling of being "loved".

Harry couldn't help thinking.

After a moment of silence, the expression in Harry's eyes seemed to be a little richer than before.

He nodded seriously, and stretched out his hand along the parted hair, carefully stroking the scar on his head just like Charlie did.

At this moment, the scar that had been there since he could remember, seemed to be awakened by some kind of strange power, and it became slightly hot.

But soon, the rushing enthusiasm dissipated again, as if nothing had happened, and it became the same as usual.

Charlie watched Harry's movements, and sighed secretly... There is no way, being able to tell Harry these things is already the limit of what he can do.

Because before Harry was officially 11 years old, he was not supposed to have any communication with the wizarding world.

Perhaps from this moment on, the original story will undergo earth-shaking changes because of myself, a butterfly flapping its wings.

Charlie couldn't help thinking.

"Hopefully everything is going in a better direction."

He murmured subconsciously.

"What did you say, sir?"

Harry had already put down the hand that was still touching his forehead at this moment, looked at Charlie in a strange way, and asked suspiciously.

"fine."

Charlie shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to his eyes.

He raised his head, looked at the slowly setting sun and the gradually darkening sky and said to Harry.

"It seems that the two of us have been talking for a long time without knowing it... It's getting late, maybe you should go back, Harry."

Upon hearing this, the look in Harry's eyes dimmed again, and he lowered his head and nodded reluctantly.

The joy and warmth that he had just received from Charlie disappeared without a trace when he thought that he would soon go home to face the Dursleys.

To be honest, facing the faces of that family and the narrow and damp stairwell, he had a million reluctances in his heart.

At this moment, Harry suddenly raised his head again, looking at the man in front of him who he had only known for a while, but who really made him feel the warmth and love he had never had before, he suddenly asked in a ghostly manner

"Mr. Black, can you take me away?"

The moment he said this sentence, he regretted it in his heart.After all, this is definitely very abrupt for a person who has only met once.

Sure enough, Charlie lowered his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"I'm sorry, Harry. As much as I'd like to take you out of here. But no - at least not yet. You have to stay with your loved ones...even if they're a bunch of bastards."

"Ah."

Harry lowered his head again, listening to Charlie's words, although he had already thought of the result, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

After another moment of silence, Harry said, "Then... I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Mr. Black."

After speaking, just as Harry was striding forward, he was about to walk in the direction of "home".

Charlie's warm and strong hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

"Wait a minute kid..."

Harry looked up in surprise and looked back at Charlie.

A smile appeared on Charlie's face again, as if he had thought of something.Said unhurriedly
"Although I can't let you leave that place, but... maybe I can help you teach that little suckling pig a lesson, at least let him suffer what he deserves, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Harry laughed again, and then nodded without hesitation.

It could be seen that if there was no other way, he would have made Dudley suffer.

Seeing that Harry agreed, Charlie no longer made any secrets.

He reached into the inside of the coat and, as if by magic, pulled out three chocolate hazelnuts and handed two of them to Harry's hand.

"These two pieces are my gift to you. Hide them carefully, and don't let your uncle find them."

Hearing Charlie's words, Harry, who took the chocolate, nodded hastily, then opened his clothes, and carefully stuffed two pieces of chocolate into the seam of his clothes.

After putting down the clothes again, he carefully smoothed out the folds of the clothes, so as not to let other people see anything from the outside.

"As for this..."

Charlie took the last piece of chocolate in his hand and weighed it lightly.

"Find a way for Dudley to find it."

After finishing speaking, it seemed that he was afraid that Harry would not understand what he meant, so he raised his eyebrows and winked at him again.

"Okay... I think I get it!"

With Harry's intelligence, it was easy to guess what it was.

Although he wasn't sure what was going to happen, he was sure that Charlie must have "stuffed" the chocolate.

With the vague anticipation of "flavored" chocolate.Harry finally recovered his mood, and after saying goodbye to Charlie, he set foot on the road back.

Charlie and Russell stood where they were, watching Harry's figure get smaller and smaller by the light from the lit street lamps.

"Mr. Black!!"

Just as Harry was about to turn the corner and leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head and shouted in Charlie's direction.

"Well, what happened?"

Charlie waved his hand at him from a distance, and responded in the same way.

Harry took a deep breath, then worked up his courage and asked aloud, "Will I still be able to see you again!!"

"Don't worry, if there are no accidents, we will meet again in a short time."

This time, Charlie didn't disappoint Harry again, he nodded and gave the child an affirmative answer.

And Harry, who got the answer, finally smiled again in satisfaction.

He raised his arm and waved vigorously at the other party.

With a final "Goodbye, sir."

Harry Potter disappeared completely before Charlie's eyes, and turned to the street they had walked on before.

"Russell..."

Looking at the direction in which Harry Potter was leaving, Charlie suddenly called out.

"Yes! My dear Master Charlie."

Russell, who had been regarded as transparent air and lost his sense of existence, returned to Charlie's side at this moment.

Hearing Charlie's call, he hurriedly responded.

"What do you think of this child?"

Russell frowned and thought for a moment.

finally shook his head

"I'm sorry, Master Charlie, please forgive Russell's stupidity. In Russell's eyes, he is just an ordinary child who can't be more ordinary. Russell can't see anything special."

"yes……"

Charlie narrowed his eyes, let out a breath, and said with emotion
"He's just an ordinary kid who couldn't be more ordinary."
