A/N: Hey y'all! So in my story "In Your Dreams", Tom gifted Harry a broom when he found out Harry made the Slytherin Qudditch Team (making him an amazing soulmate/boyfriend/IDK) a deleted user, Delphi_RLS , Amoayne and I discussed the shop visit Tommy-boy must have done to get that broom (and the unfortunate employee who had to help him). Enjoy!
BTW, TheGreatSinner , here it is.
Narrator's POV
Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort, disguised as Quirinus Quirrell, walked down Diagon Alley silently cursing the universe.
No, he didn't go to any of his usual shops like Flourish and Blotts, Quality Potion Supplies, nor did he venture down Knockturn Alley, instead he walked to a store he had never been inside of before: Quality Quidditch Supplies.
Why was the the Dark Lord going inside of a Qudditch shop, you might ask?
Well because his soulmate had to get interested in Qudditch of all things.
He began mentally cursing the Malfoy heir who told Harry about Qudditch as well as Severus for putting Harry on the team as he looked around the shop in confusion.
Yes, he had taken the mandatory Qudditch class in his First Year, but that was so long ago he couldn't remember.
Now, Tom began cursing himself: he knew the delicate secrets of the Dark Arts, mastered the Unforgivables as well as many forgotten spells, jinxes, curses and potions, but he didn't know anything about the most commonly played game in all of Wizarding Europe.
The Dark Lord's thoughts and cursing were suddenly interrupted by a redheaded shop-girl asking him, "Do you need any help, sir?"
Everything in him was telling him to say "No" and make her leave him alone, but he had to admit defeat, he had crossed into 'enemy' territory blind and needed assistance, so he said, "Yes, I do."
The woman whose name-tag read "Ivy" asked, "Okay, size-wise, is this for you or a gift?"
"A gift." He replied, trying to keep calm so the magic giving him a false light-aura didn't fail
"Okay, and what type of broom are you looking for?" Ivy asked
"There's more than one type?" Tom asked, shocked
"Yes, one for school and personal Qudditch, one for professional use, and one for travel use." Ivy explained
"I need one for school." The Dark Lord replied
"Which model do you prefer?" Ivy asked, showing him a long row of different types of brooms
Tom was at a loss for words, "Which model is the best?"
Ivy smiled,"The best broom currently on the market is the Nimbus 2000. It has a mahogany handle and it runs for the price of 1000 galleons. But if that's out of your price range-"
"Price doesn't matter." The Dark Lord interrupted, "I'm willing to purchase whatever is best and whatever supplies it requires."
Ivy's eyes slightly widened at the statement, but quickly adjusted, "Okay, sir, would the broom and care kit be everything or is there anything else?"
"That's everything." Tom answered, wanting to get out of the shop immediately
"You said this is meant to be a gift, right?" Ivy asked, ringing him up
"Correct." The Dark Lord replied, placing a few chocolate frogs with his order as well: Harry'd like candy, right?
"We offer a free gift wrapping service, if you'd like?" Ivy offered
"Yes, go ahead." Tom said, eyeing the exist
Around five minutes later, Tom happily found himself leaving the store with his purchase and quickly apparated back to Hogwarts before anyone discovered him missing.
He couldn't wait to see Harry's reaction tonight in their dream.
