The Fusion



Harry couldn't beleive that he had forgotten the thing in his life that meant so much to him. How could he. He couldn't understand it. "Hey Ron, did you forget that there's an open space on the quidditch team this year?" asked Harry. "Oh yeah, I completely forgot," said Ron very sarcastically, "I've been playin all summer. There's two spaces open actually. Alicia was a 7th year Harry." "Oh right, I completely forgot about that. What would you rather play Ron, Keeper or Chaser?" "Chaser would ofcourse be my first choice. But I would settle for Keeper if Mcgonagall offered. I bet your captain Harry. Fred and George already said they vote you." "Yeah right, ha ha ha, I wish Ron, but then I think about how ridiculous Wood sounded sometimes and I have second thoughts about it." Harry and Ron both laughed. "He meant well ofcourse, but the peptalk he gave us before every game was classic!" Harry laughed remembering the look on Wood's face. They walked towards Flourish and Blotts to buy their textbooks. They entered the bright colourful shop and looked around for the shopkeeper. "Harry, do you think Snape will be back for potions?" "I dunno, I know no more then you where he and Sirius are. But Ron, can we talk about this later, like when we're back in the room?" "Oh right, sorry, I fogot." apologized Ron. The shopkeeper came over and helped them with everything they needed.

Harry and Ron wanted to return their things to their room before they went into Quality Quidditch Supplies, or stopped at Florean Fortescue's for another ice cream. Harry was lucky he brought that extra trunk, because they had a lot more things than usual. "Probably all study books for our O.W.L's." explained Ron. "Fred and George had to have loads of them too. Percy ofcourse bought extra. But he's a whole different story isn't he." Ron said. "O.W.L's suck." replied Harry. "I know," said Ron, "But unfortunately we have to do them. Mum fusses a lot about them." "Ha ha! Crabbe and Goyle I bet won't get any! I've never met anybody thicker then those two!" Ron and Harry bothed laughed uncontrolably. They remembered the incident in second year when both Crabbe and Goyle had eaten cupcakes that were floating in midair. "Speaking of Crabbe and Goyle, we haven't seen Malfoy! Not once!" said Ron, still red faced from laughing. "You spoke too soon Ron." Harry and Ron caught sight of Malfoy entering Madam Malkin's. "I would of thought that him and those two great lumps would still be laying on the train. I should of kicked him a few more times in the head." Ron said throwing Malfoy a very menacing look, even though he wouldn't see. "Don't worry about him Ron, I have a feeling that he won't have much to say this year. Won't wanna put his father in Azkaban." "Well, we better get to Quality Quidditch Supplies, don't wanna run into him there." "Right." said Harry.

Harry and Ron ran quickly back to the Leaky Cauldron and dropped off their newly bought things. They ran out back into Diagon Alley and headed towards Quality Quidditch Supplies. They saw Malfoy leaving the shop with a package that looked similar to the one that Harry had saw on Ron's bed. "Alright, lucky we missed him." said Ron releived. They walked over to front window of Quality Quidditch Supplies and Harry saw the most wonderful thing he ever layed eyes on. It was a broomstick! It looked like the Nimbus2001 and the Firebolt in one, except a million times better. It could excellerate from 0-200 miles per hour in only 5 seconds. A huge upgrade compared to the Firebolt which could only go from 0-150 miles per hour in 10 seconds. Harry saw that the name on the handle said The Fusion. "Amazing isn't it!" said Ron. "Yeah," said Harry, "Nicest broom I've ever seen!" "Let's go inside. It gets better in there." said Ron. Harry took his eyes off The Fusion after a very long stare, and followed Ron into Quality Quidditch Supplies. "Come here Harry! Look at these!" Harry was looking at a display of many Fusion broomsticks, that had Hogwarts house crests shining on the handle. "This is the Gryffindor Fusion," explained Ron. "They also have different versions for every International Quidditch team." "These are so cool!" said Harry. At the moment he wished that he had never given away all his triwizard winnings. Maybe if he had of kept a bit of it then he would be able to buy one of those Fusions. A Gryffindor Fusion, as he was Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. "Wouldn't you just love one of those Harry?" asked Ron, "Yeah.." answered Harry. "Well, come on Harry, let's look at some other stuff. 'Nother sundae mate?" Harry just nodded his head and followed Ron out of Quality Quidditch Supplies. They ran into Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas at Florean Fortescue's and talked to them for a long time. They had to finish getting the rest of their stuff so they left Harry and Ron sitting out side of the Ice cream Parlour. "Getting late there Harry, wanna go back up to the Inn?" "Umm.. alright. But first can we make another stop at Quality Quidditch Supplies?" "I think they closed already.. But we can look at The Fusion from the front window. Besides we can look at it all day tomorrow before Hermione comes.. and after she comes ofcourse. She's not too big of a Quidditch fan but I'm sure she wouldn't mind seeing The Fusion." "Alright then, said Harry, "Actually, how 'bout we just go staright back up to the Inn.. I'm really tired." Ron agreed and he and Harry headed towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"It got pretty cold eh Harry?" "Yeah, I guess." "What's wrong there?" "I still can't beleive I forgot my Firebolt! Now that I think of it, I don't even know where it was. Uncle Vernon didn't lock my things up or anything." Harry said sounding very angry with himself. "I told you not to worry about it Harry. We can stop by the Dursley's before we go back to my house. Actually, wait here alright!" said Ron, stepping back into the room and arriving back onto the balcony with the box that Harry had seen earlier. "Here you are. It's a thanks from well, Fred, George and I. We couldn't have started up Weasley's Wizard Wheezes without you, and well, we owe you a lot." Harry didn't know what to say. He opened the box and saw something he never thought he would ever own. "It's the Gryffindor Fusion Harry! I thought you'd like it! And I even got your name and position put on it!" "Ron.. I" "Oh, shut up Harry! I know your gunna say I don't know how to thank you, but you don't have to! You've done enough for us already! This is our thanks to you! So just take it! No seconds thoughts! It's yours alright!" A wide smile spread across Harry's face. "Thanks so much Ron!" He gave Ron a massive hug. He couldn't hold himself back. "Uhh. ok Harry no problem but your suffercatin' me." "Oh sorry.." Harry apologized. "Oh and your Firebolt is at my house. When you said that you forgot it at the Dursley's, I told Fred and George to go get it for you. Even though they already knew I had bought The Fusion for you. Don't wanna overuse your Fusion while playin at my house do you?" Ron and Harry both laughed. They sat out on the balcony examining Harry's Fusion and after an hour or so they decided to go back inside because the night was getting colder and darker.

At the moment Harry's mind was so empty about everything that he had absolutely no problem falling asleep. He dreamed himself flying around the Quidditch pitch on his new Fusion. The Gryffindor Lion gleaming on the handle. He could hear the crowd cheering and screaming. He could see Malfoy across the Quidditch pitch talking to what looked like the Slytherin's new Chaser. He could hear Lee Jordan's commentary and it pleased him to hear that Gryffindor was leading by 360 points "Ron Weasley scores! Ten points to Gryffindor!" he screamed. Harry had seen Ron give the Gryffindor team high fives as they flew by him. Harry had given him a thumbs up. Harry had started to fly towards Ron. Just then he caught sight of the snitch. Malfoy had already bolted towards it. He was so much closer. Harry dove downwards in hopes that he could cut an easy corner and beat Malfoy to the gleaming snitch. He had never lost a Quidditch match to him before. He didn't plan on letting that happen today. Come on go faster, he was telling it. Just then his Fusion started to slow down. What was happening? Just then he saw a huge bludger coming towards him. It slammed into his stomach and knocked him off his broom. He was falling, falling, he could hear Malfoy's drawling laugh hissing in his ears. He was about to hit the ground when he himself being picked up. He felt his Fusion underneath him. "That was close!" announced Lee Jordan. "And ofcourse the Fusion is equipped with automatic return! Oh! Draco Malfoy gets knocked off track by a racing bludger sent by Fred Weasley!" Harry shot towards the snitch. He and Draco were now completely side by side. Both bumping eachother to knock the other off track. They were getting closer, closer, both took one hand off their broom and reached towards the snitch. "Almost got it Potter!" yelled Lee Jordan. Harry kicked Malfoy out of the way and heard the whistle ringing in his ears! "Wake up Harry!" Ron was shaking him awake. "I think Malfoy's out in the hallway with his father!"
