My first year at Hogwarts

Diagon Alley

"To Diagon Alley" my brother shouts again.We traveled by flue powder, well what was left of it in the pot.
As we walk down the Alley, mother tell Patrick to help me get the items on the list while she goes off to visit my father at our owl shop.
"Michael read the list of supply out loud, my memory is a bit foggy"Patrick says with a smirk
As we walk I read aloud with no objections

"Michael why did you stop reading?" he turns to look at me.
I stand their staring through a shop window at the most beautiful thing I have every seen.
"Michael what are you looking at?" Coming up beside me to peer through the window, " it's a fire bolt broomstick "

"But I thought you wanted to be a keeper like dad, that's a seekers broom?"

"Look on the back wall Patrick."
Patrick peer in to the shop and saw what I was looking at. His eyes grew very large.

"It's a model two fire-bolt broomstick keepers version"
It was exactly like the fire bolt, but sturdier and a longer handle made of stained oak with shiny brass foot pegs, it was made for taking a beating.

"Come on Michael not today, we need to be buying what we need and that's your school supplies so lets go or moms going to be mad." He say as he pulls me away from the glass and down the alley as I continue to read the list.
