Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

"Have you invited any other friends, Vernon?"

The sudden change finally successfully hindered Maggie's pace, causing her to stop when she was about to step on the stairs, and to focus on her eyes again without any danger.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!!"

Vernon, who survived the catastrophe, stood up from the sofa, and while wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly nodded and explained

"It's a worker I met in the factory... probably after dinner, he came to visit me specially."

"Workmates..." After hearing Vernon's words, Maggie's eyes became even more unsatisfied.

After muttering something with undisguised disgust, he finally said nothing, walked back to the sofa, and turned his head to Vernon who was about to open the door and said contemptuously:
"Take a few words at the door and let him go back! If you really let that kind of person in, you don't want the carpet in your house."

After finishing speaking, he screamed at Petunia who was holding a teacup motionless in front of the kitchen.

"Come on, Petunia, where's my tea?"

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

Vernon ignored Maggie's words.Although he nodded in agreement on the surface, he had already forgotten about it in the blink of an eye. With uncontrollable joy on his face, he trotted to the door in a hurry, and hurriedly opened the door.

After the door opened, I saw a burly white man with a beard and a fleshy face, standing at the door with a grin. When he saw Vernon open the door, before he could react, his face was filled with excitement. There was a bright and pure smile, which formed an exceptional contrast with this fierce and terrifying appearance.

"Merry Christmas, Vernon!"

The familiar voice came to his ears again, and Vernon, who thought he had heard it wrong, was relieved, and he quickly accepted Peng Peng's new look in his heart immediately.

After all, he has been working in the wizarding world for a while, and although he still cannot change the fact that he is a Muggle, Vernon Dursley's acceptance of this unknown situation is undoubtedly much higher than before.

He quickly grasped Peng Peng's thick palms and shook them vigorously. Looking at the bright smile in front of him, even his eyes flushed a little.

After Zhuo Zhuo stared at the other party for a few seconds, Vernon said tremblingly

"Merry Christmas, Pumbaa!...Did you come here this time as I imagined?"

Looking at the eyes of this friend who has only known him for a few months, Peng Peng can naturally understand what the "that" he said is.

"Uh, it's probably a little different from what you imagined..."

After pondering for a while, he turned his head to look at the black car behind him, and was about to explain something to him, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice from inside the room.

"Vernon!!! Why did you have your friend standing outside the door?! Shouldn't you invite him in to sit for a while?"

Vernon was taken aback for a moment, but when he turned his head subconsciously, the scene in front of him almost made his eyes fall to the ground in shock.

I saw that Maggie, who was sitting on the sofa, had a sour face before opening the door, and told her younger brother to deal with him quickly, had changed into a gentle and friendly expression at some point, and she The emotion in the eyes of Peng Peng when he looked at the door was much more eager than Vernon's.

Almost instantly, Vernon understood Maggie's thoughts.

He only felt that dense goosebumps were crawling all over his body again. Looking at Peng Peng's face full of flesh at the moment, and at his sister's admiring expression, after several fluctuations in the expression on his face, it finally turned into something Subtle beyond words.

One must know that Peng Peng's current face, no matter how far he looks at it, can't be considered pretty.

If I had to make a metaphor, then if he was walking on the road with a black man holding a knife, the police's gun would definitely point at him the first time...

For a guy like this, even I have to take a while to accept it. I really don’t know what Maggie is...

Just as he was thinking, Vernon's eyes suddenly turned to Pete, the English bulldog who was especially loved by his sister beside the fireplace.

At this moment, it is regaining its previous spirit due to the sudden visitor, but it seems to be intimidated by Peng Peng's exaggerated body shape and appearance, so he dare not run forward, and can only hesitate on the spot. , making faint whimpers, trying to deter the other party.

Vernon seemed to understand something, and a little bit of clarity suddenly rose in his heart.

Just when he opened his mouth to say something, the older sister on the sofa was already holding a teacup, she couldn't wait to stand up from the sofa, imitating the appearance of a lady on TV, and twisted step by step behind Vernon , said cordially and earnestly

"I'm Vernon's sister, Maggie Dursley, what should I call you?... This strong man."

"Just call me Peng Peng."

The pure Peng Peng naturally knew nothing about the inner activities of the two Dursleys in front of him.

"Peng Peng... what a lovely name!"

Unexpectedly, Maggie's eyes lit up a little more, she praised unabashedly, and then continued without waiting for the other party's reaction
"Since it's Vernon's friend, why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea that I made myself? I think we can chat while drinking tea... What do you think, Mr. Pumbaa?"

Peng Peng was overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm. It seemed that he had never encountered such a situation, whether it was an elf or a human. He was surprised and unconsciously moved: Sure enough, the Dursleys are all good people!
"Maybe another day! We have something to do later, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink tea here."

Just when Peng Peng was scratching his shiny head and grinning, a voice suddenly came from behind him, answering for him as if without doubt.

Maggie's brows immediately formed a pimple, displeased with the sudden sound.

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a man wearing a windbreaker and long golden hair who had appeared two or three steps behind Peng Peng at some point.

The man had a delicate smile on his face, which was neither friendly nor hypocritical. He put his hands in his pockets as he spoke.In the randomness, it brought out a bit of harmless atmosphere for humans and animals.

"Ah! Mr. Black, you're down, I'm so sorry, I should have opened the car door for you like Russell..."

Noticing the movement of Charlie behind him, Peng Peng hastily withdrew and thought of dodging to the side. After making way for him to make a way to the door, he said with a bit of shame.

Charlie paced forward lightly, and stood in front of Maggie and Vernon's bewildered gazes.

"Vernon Dursley..."

He looked at Vernon, and softly called out his name.

Immediately, Charlie slowly took his hand out of the pocket of the windbreaker, and first reached out to the middle-aged man whose body was so frightened that his body was stiff and his face was flushed red.

"Actually, this is our first official meeting, isn't it?"
