The look on Malfoy's face at breakfast was priceless, he was shocked that Ron, Harry, Cameron, and Dan where still at Hogwarts, tired but cheerful. Harry explained to Ron, Cameron, and Dan about a package that had been removed from Gringotts to Hogwarts. And spent a lot of time wondering what needed such heavy protection. Neither Neville not Hermione showed the slightest interest in what lay under the dog and the trapdoor. Hermione was refusing to talk to any of them. But they saw this as a bonus.
When the owls came into the Great Hall everyone's attention was caught by a long thin package carried by 6 screech owls. It was dropped in front of Harry then a note was dropped in front of him. He read it then passed to note to Ron, Cameron, and Dan.
"A Nimbus 2000" Ron moaned, "I've never even touched one."
They left the hall wanting to unwrap it in private before their first class. But they where stopped by Crabbe and Goyle guarding the stairs. Malfoy seized the package from Harry.
"That's a broomstick," he said throwing it back. Cameron was pleased to see a look of jealousy on his face.
"Its not any old broomstick, it's a Nimbus 2000. What did you say you've got at home Malfoy, a Comet 260?" Ron said grinning, "Comets look flashy but they're not in the same league as the Nimbus."
"What would you know about it, Weasley, you couldn't afford half the handle," Malfoy snapped back "I suppose you and your brothers have to save up twig by twig."
Before Ron could answer Flitwick and Serena appeared out of nowhere.
"Not arguing, I hope boys?" he squeaked
"Potter's been sent a broomstick, Professor" Malfoy said
"Yes, yes that's right, Professor McGonagall told me all about the special circumstance, Potter, and what model is it?"
"A Nimbus 2000," Serena whistled.
"Expensive stuff…probably took it out of all our pay checks…" Ron, Dan, and Cameron grinned widely at the look of horror on Malfoy's face.
"And its really thanks to Malfoy here that I've got it," They headed upstairs smoothing their laughter. "Well its true" Harry chuckled at the top of the stairs. "If he hadn't stole Neville's Remebrall I wouldn't be on the team-"
"So I suppose you think that's a reward for breaking rules" came an angry voice. With out having to turn around Cameron knew instantly who it was.
"I thought you weren't speaking to us?" Harry said.
"Yes don't stop now, its doing us so much good" Ron said
"The silence has not been defining" Cameron added,
"If your trying to set a record for not speaking to certain people. The Guinness book of world records just called you just lost," Dan said. After they bolted down their dinners, the 4 of them raced upstairs.
"Wow" Ron sighed as Harry brought it out.
"Its so beautiful" Cameron said staring at it.
"It looks like you could ride it in a race and you'd never lose" Dan breathed.
And it did, Cameron was proud of his broom, but the Nimbus 2000 was really something spectacular. Sleek and shiny, with a mahogany handle, and Nimbus 2000 written in gold near the top. Cameron couldn't wait for Gryffindors first match to see how it flew.
Harry had to go meet Oliver Wood the captain and keeper for Gryffindor out at Quidditch field, too learn about Quidditch. While he was gone, Dan, Cameron, and Ron worked on homework. As he was writing his essay on levitation charms for Charms class, Cameron threw his quill down and took out a spare piece of parchment. He tapped the quill against his forehead and began writing to Remus.
'Hi Uncle Remus, how are you? How are things at home? Things are great at Hogwarts; I've explored a lot of the passages with Harry, Ron, and Dan, we've had a bunch of er small adventures. Don't worry though only one was life threatening. Kidding. Harry made the Quidditch team, he's Seeker for Gryffindor, and he just got his broom, it's a Nimbus 2000! My classes are going good. I still don't like potions though. Professor Snape is horrible to Gryffindor. Hey want to hear something funny you'll get a kick out of this. Ron's brothers Fred and George (their twins) they accidentally turned Professor Quirrell (Defense against the Dark Arts teacher) into a women! They meant to turn him green but they messed up. It was great; Serena came bursting into Potions class to ask if Snape could make an antidote to turn Quirrell back to normal, which he did. I think I forgot to tell you that, Serena's a teacher, well sort of, she's a Assistant Professor for Defense against the Dark Arts. Thanks a lot for the new book it was great, but could you send me my copy of 'Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'? I er already finished the Sherlock Holms book you sent, and this morning I finished a book Dan let me borrow. I need something else to read, I've had to resort to actually reading my textbooks um Kidding, Kidding. If it's not in my bookcase try downstairs in yours, I might have put it there. I've been wearing my glasses don't worry. Serena's kind of been on my case making sure I'm wearing them when I'm supposed to (personally she's got that hairball of hers following me around, and if I'm not wearing them when I'm supposed to boom! Serena comes out of nowhere with a giant fan. Don't ask really.) My other classes are going good too. In Charms we're getting close to making objects levitate. Well I've got to go finish my homework, bye!
Cameron.
Ps: thanks again for the book I really liked it.'
Cameron rolled up the parchment.
"Dan can I use Merlin to get this letter to my uncle?" he asked Dan who was playing Wizard Chess against Ron, they had abandoned their homework leaving it half done.
"Sure, I'll go with you to send him" Dan said "lemme just try to beat Ron"
Dan turned back around and stared thoughtfully at the board suddenly Dan grinned "Rook to H6." The Rook moved up 5 spaces and conveniently took out Ron's only remaining Knight. "Ok Ron your goin down now!"
"Think again!" Ron said grinning "Queen to H6" The queen moved across the board and with one swing took out Dan's rook. "Check"
"Ah man" Cameron grinned and sat next to them to watch. They were both tied. And Cameron knew they would be at this game for a while, because both Dan and Ron where exceptional at Chess.
"Tell you what I can go up by myself, you guys finish your game." Cameron said
"You sure?" Dan asked not looking up from the board
"Ya I'll be right back, thanks Dan" And with that Cameron headed out the portrait and up to the Owlery. When he got there, Merlin and Hedwig soared down to him.
"Hi guys what's up?" Cameron said scratching both birds beneath their beaks. "Hey Merlin feel up for a flight?" Hedwig looked at Cameron grumpily "Sorry Hedwig, I can't use you cause Harry's at Quidditch practice and I can't ask him. Next time I promise." She gave a small hoot and watched as Cameron tied the letter to Merlin's leg. "Ok Merlin can you take this to my Uncle Remus?" Merlin gave a hoot and spread his small wings wide. Then with a Barn Owl screech took off out the window into the night sky. Cameron leaned against the sill watching him. He looked towards the Quidditch field, but he couldn't see Harry. A cold breeze fluttered into the room blowing in Cameron's face. Looking at the half moon Cameron waved bye to Hedwig and headed off downstairs. Suddenly to his surprise something very large and white whizzed past him at face level. When he looked to his left he got the shock of his life. A large fan was stuck in the newly made dent in the wall. He looked around sharply. "What the heck!?! I'm wearing them! I'm wearing them!" Someone in the shadows chuckled.
"I know. I just wanted to see if you were awake and not sleepwalking," Serena walked out of the shadowy corridor she had been standing in. She was wearing a long white weeding gown made of silk. It was see through on her upper chest and arms. The sleeves reached all the way down to her hands and looped around her middle fingers. Just barely visible under the hem of the dress were shoes that looked like they belonged in Cinderella.
"Well what do you think?" Serena asked, spinning in a small circle, "If you say anything else besides beautiful I'll cry."
"Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it…you…wow," she curtsied.
"Thank-you. Fifteen point to Gryffindor. I'll make up some excuse to give them to the house," she began to walk away.
"Serena, who are you marrying?"
"Why, Professor Quirrell of course," she called over her shoulder.
