Chapter 6

Halloween

The next morning Harri and the others were discussing what the three headed dog could have been guarding underneath the trap door, while Hermione made a point to ignore them. Fred and George figured that it was some dangerously valuable object that only a fool would go after, which is why the two of them were making imaginary plans on how to get past the three headed dog.

“Maybe we could hypnotize it by swinging Harri’s hair in front of it!” Fred suggested tugging on Harri’s braid. She punched him for it, causing Draco to laugh at their antics.

“Maybe we could sing it to sleep!” George said sarcastically throwing his hands up in despair.

“Only if it likes your tone deaf singing,” Fred replied with a smirk. Harri snorted listening to the twins bicker.

When the owls came in Hedwig was carrying a rather large package accompanied by five other owls. When the item landed on the table it was easy to see that it was a broom.

There was a note on the packet that read: Do Not Open The Parcel At The Table! It contains your new broom, but I don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training session.

Professor McGonagall

There was also a letter taped to the underside of the broom:

Dear Bambi,

You made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! I’m so proud…it was the one rule that your father and I couldn’t break! So, as soon as you told me, Remus and I went shopping for a broom and sent it right to Minnie! I also told her not to tell you the make or model! I want it to be a surprise! I hope to make it to your first match against Slytherin! Your father would have been so proud of you! I feel like I’m tearing up a bit…Mooney, you take over the rest of the letter. Bambi, your godfather is insane, but I do agree with him. We’re very proud of you.  Your father would have been over the moon about this. I’m sure that after her initial shock your mother would have been very excited as well. If Sirius is going to the match, I will be going as well. You and I both know he can’t control himself.

See you soon,

Remus and a very emotional Sirius 

“Well, come on. Let’s head back to the common room and open this parcel up to see what model your godfather bought you!” George said as he and Fred picked her up by the arms and dragged her out of the Great Hall, much to the amusement of the other Hogwarts students. Draco followed close behind carrying the broomstick behind the trio.

“You two are mad. Put me down,” Harri told them squirming in their arms. Despite the twins having leaner builds they were rather strong and wouldn’t put her down.

They finally reached the common room and all four of them walked in. Draco was pretty sure that the twins forgot that he wasn’t a Gryffindor sometimes. He looked around the room and noticed that this room was much cozier than the Ravenclaw dorms, but he preferred the bookshelves that lined the walls in his common room.

“You two do realize that you forgot the broomstick on the table after you hauled Harri out of the Great Hall,” Draco told them putting the parcel on one of the tables in the common room.

The twins finally let Harri go and she walked over to the package and opened it, revealing the Nimbus 2000 inside.

“I suppose you’re proud of yourself for breaking the rules and getting a broom,” a voice said from behind the group. They turned around to see Hermione standing in front of them with her arms crossed.
