Harry Potter and the Broom Creation
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Other than the Thunderbolt, that's my creation. I own that one. Nothing else.
Chapter 1: Accidental Breakthrough
The start of the fifth year was right around the corner, yet Harry wasn't focused or even waiting for it to arrive. He had already passed his OWLs, and was prepared to write his NEWTs with his friends, Ron and Hermione. He had already passed his Charms, DADA, and Transfiguration NEWTs, co he was focusing on his Herbology, and Runes NEWTs. He was also working on a project, one that only Ron and Hermione were aware of. It was to make a broom faster than the Firebolt, which was now old news. However, none of the companies that released or created brooms had even tried to make a better broom, so he was focused on doing that.
He had been working on it for about 3 months, since he realized that he couldn't outfly the dragon in the first task, and wanted to be able to do so. He was hoping that by owning two Firebolts he could take one apart, and focus on the different magical attributes of the Firebolt, and upgrade them. He had succeeded in doing that task. He was stuck on how to increase the speed and maneuverability in the broom. He was failing. He already knew the name for the broom, if it were to actually work, and it was Thunderbolt. He was stuck on how to protect the broom, once it was going faster than the Firebolt. It appeared that the wood broke apart, and he needed to fix that.
Getting irritated with the problem, he turned to the Runes review. He was about half way done, when he saw a rune that was able to keep an object together, at insane speeds. It would work, but it needed a power source, which would prove a difficult problem. But he had solved one, so he was incredibly proud. He chose to go to sleep, after making note of the rune.
As he was dreaming, he was thinking of how it may be able to use a magic conducting material to charge it, and having it use the ambient magic to charge, giving it a large capacity to go fast, and stay strong.
The next morning, when he woke, he saw an owl flying towards the house. As he opened the window, he had an epiphany: his Cloak of Invisibility was older than Hogwarts, yet still in perfect condition. So, with enough magic, one could cast a spell that would remain active for a very long time. Seeing as he was rather powerful himself, he tested his power. He already knew what the ranks were, being told by Dumbledore himself.
"Potens" He intoned, and saw a piece of metal appear in the middle of the , right in the path of his spell. As his spell hit it, it glowed, but didn't warp, or anything. He then pushed as much magic as he could into the spell. He felt something inside him break, and felt a huge surge of power. He pushed the additional energy, and saw the shield glow more powerfully. It still hadn't warped. He felt another surge, and repeated the action. It happened nearly 10 times before he felt the last, but largest surge. By the time that had occurred, he saw the shield had grown, probably to not be warped, or give incorrect results. He ended the spell when he felt the shield give a 'push', almost like telling him that it was done reading.
He stopped the spell, and saw the shield slowly stop glowing. However, a number and letter appeared above it. The number was four digits long, and the letter, being the rank, was showing as a high rank. It finally became readable. The number was 5000, and the rank was something he had never heard of. It was P. There wasn't a rank P, and the highest was M. This meant that he was stronger than Merlin himself. He was reported to have a core strength of around 4000. Harry had a much larger core capacity, and was going to take full advantage of that. He started casting the spells he had taken off of the Firebolt, casting them at his personal strength. By the time he added the runes, the broom itself gave off a magical aura.
He created two others, then shrunk them, before sending them to his friends. He had also added the name Thunderbolt to the handle. He moved outside, and got ready to test it. As he kicked off the ground, he blurred, then disappeared. He was going nearly 300 mph, and wasn't pushing his broom to the max speed. He headed towards the location Hermione's parents stayed at, and pushed his broom to its fastest. It maxed out at 500 mph. It was nearly 3 times faster than the Firebolt, and he was going to improve his broom, calling it Thunderbolt Supreme or Thunderbolt 2. By was at Hermione's house before his owl was. He entered her room, having knocked and received the all-clear. He told her that he had a surprise for her and that it was outside.
Once outside, he told her to close her eyes, and showed her his new broom. Then he noticed the owl flying in the distance, and he said that he had gotten here before it, using their project. By the time she could speak coherently again, the owl had delivered its package, and flown off to Ron's place. Hermione was more than pleased, and they flew along side the owl to Ron's place. Ron was ecstatic about the success, and they raced around the Burrow, going fast enough to cause a small tornado to form. It was dispersed very fast, to say the least. They created the Thunderbolt Company and started selling the brooms. They made a fortune. They started to develop the improved broom.
