A/N Well that was an interesting Chapter. Trust me it will get even more interesting and complicated.

Chapter 2 A Surprising Announcement.

One day after Amy had been working at the Quidditch Store for Two weeks she was at home on a day off her books spread out in front of her writing an essay for Wizarding Government when Harry walked in from work.

"The school still standing dad?" Amy wondered as Shiki passed through.

"Yes it is Amy," Harry said as he dropped an envelope in front of her. Amy opened it up and saw within it A Letter from Hogwarts

Dear Miss Potter

I hope this letter reaches you in good spirits. Once again Term Starts on September 1st. Since you live in Hogsmeade you will be allowed to return early at 1130. Oh and Congratulations Miss Potter I'm sure you will be excited about some special news.

Sincerely

Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress.

"Dad, any idea what McGonagall meant by congratulating me for something. She hinted about some special news but not what it is. IS this a surprise like the Triwizard Tournament was your fourth year?"

"No nothing like that Amy," Harry told her. "We spent time the last couple days deciding who the Prefects would be for this year."

"I see. Anyone good chosen from my year?"

"Let's see Sarah Demenkus and Goffy Mueller were chosen for Ravenclaw, I think Hillary Endicott and Joe Conan for Hufflepuff, Slytherin I think James Coyners was chosen. As for Gryffindor you know I'm not sure I remember?"

"Dad, it's your own house. How could you not remember who the prefect from Fifth year is?" Amy wondered as Shiki stopped in her travels to listen in. Harry then made a play of fumbling with something in the pocket of his Scarlet and Gold work robes.

"I was only joking with you," Harry said as he took a fairly shiny piece of Scarlet and gold colored metal out of his pocket and handed it to Amy. She looked at it and saw the there was a pin on the back side. She then looked at the front and saw a big P on it. The next second she fainted.

"Spoilsport," Shiki muttered.

It was the next morning before Amy woke up.

"Shiki did yesterday evening really happen. I seem to remember dad handing me a Prefects Badge and nothing else."

"That's because you fainted and just woke up. Man Amy you acted as if someone had used a Stunning Charm on you. Dad tried to use a wake up Charm on you only it didn't work."

"Work oh no I have to get to it."

Amy realizing what time it was tore through the Shower and put a pair of jeans and a Scarlet and Gold Sweater on before going at almost a gallop through the Fire to the Leaky Cauldron. She then went at a little slower pace to the Store. Once inside she put her apron on and made sure the back room was clean. She was stocking the Collectibles area when she saw Lynda and her mother walk in. She stayed hidden for a few minutes as she watched them look over the brooms.

"Do you require any assistance?" Amy asked after a few minutes.

"Just looking for a first rate broom for Quidditch. I play beater on my team at school."

"Well Comet didn't come out with a new model this year and Cleansweep is working on a new prototype which won't be out until October probably. The Nimbus 2010 is pretty good. So is the Firebolt 9. The Lightning 102 is a bit of a hot seller. So far the makers of the Thunderstick which I myself ride haven't developed a new model yet."

Lynda then took a close look.

"Amy, I didn't realize it was you helping us," Lynda said.

"I was stocking the Collectibles when you walked in. I've been working here since the Summer Holidays Started."

"Any good pranks planned this year?"

"I doubt it. My dad and McGonagall might not like it. Besides I have to toe the line this year and keep those younger then me in line so you better watch it Lynda."

"Or what you'd send a prefect after me?" Lynda asked her.

"No I'll take points off of Ravenclaw. I will be a Prefect," Amy told her. "I better get back to work but let me know if you need any help."

"We will Amy," Lynda's mother said.

Amy then went back to work getting things stocked. She noticed how Lynda and her mother left empty handed. After lunch she filled a lot of the Owled orders and shipped them out. In fact she barely noticed Percy walk in.

"Hey Uncle Percy," Amy called out from the back room.

"Who's back there?" Percy wondered.

"Just me Percy," Amy said as she walked out front.

"I heard you were working here now. Enjoying it?"

"You bet Percy. I figured working here in Diagon Alley would sure beat Hanging around at home all summer listening to The twins argue and studying even if I do work on that after I get done at work," Amy told him. "What brings you by?"

"Jean wants a broom for school. Why she wants one now when she won't be able to have it at school next year I don't know.

"You'll figure something out Percy. My recommendation for someone of Jeanine's age is probably a Comet 301 or something. It's not cheap by any means but I think she will manage. I tend to read the specs on the brooms when I stock them."

"You still use your Thunderstick?"

"Of course it's reliable. Rarely lets me down. One thing is for sure this year is going to be crazy."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well let's see I have the dreaded OWLS at the end of the year, Quidditch, Classes, My Boyfriend is graduating at the end of the year. Not only that Percy but guess what I found out yesterday on my day off?"

"I don't know what Amy?"

"I'm going to be a prefect."

"Great Amy, Congratulations. I was a Prefect myself. I'm sure you will manage just hope for an easy Captain."

"Good point Percy," Amy said as Mr. Broomley walked out front.

"Business or Pleasure Amy?"

"Semi Business Mr. Broomley," Amy said. "One of my uncles is looking to buy a broom for his daughter she is ten rights now. My initial recommendation was a Comet 301."

"How proficient at flying is your daughter?"

"She isn't too speak of In fact She tends to crash. Her school uses old Firebolt 4's."

"I see. A Comet would be a good choice. She play Quidditch at all?"

"She used to but her crash record caused her to be cut from the team."

"I'll do some research and see if I can find something workable," Broomley said.

Amy spent the rest of the afternoon finishing the owl post orders.

The next day she immediately levitated and began to Stock the Various Brooms. She started with the Comet 301s then the Nimbus 2010's and Firebolt 9's. The next Broom was the Lightning 102's and the Cleansweep 18 which had come out her third year after she had left for Japan for the Fourth Year. AS she was finishing up a Delivery man came to the back door.

"Hi I have a delivery of some brooms."

"I can sign for them. Broomley is at a Diagon Alley Merchant's Association Meeting. Which Company are these from?"

"A Start-Up Company, Quasar Racing Co. The Specs are right here," the delivery man said.

"Whoa 390km/h that's almost as fast as a Thunderstick and those are fast," Amy exclaimed.

"You sound like your speaking from experience."

"I am I fly a Thunderstick," Amy said.

After he left she set a bunch of Quasars out in a locked cabinet due to it being a new model and she then went into the Window Display and put a single Quasar in it to lure customers along with a sign containing the Specs. She didn't put the price down since she wasn't sure of it.

When Broomley returned from his meeting He walked up to her.

"I see you managed to get the Display up for the Quasars. Hard to tell how hot a broom they will be?"

"Especially since a broom like this will be Pricey for sure. After all a Thunderstick when it came out was how much close to 600 Galleons I think you said when you first told me about it my first year."

"About that. Of course the Price has come down since then. I think they are around 375 Galleons right now. Of course the Quasar will cost 550 Galleons. Probably way too fast for your cousin," Broomley pointed out.

"Good point. Too bad we can't develop a Training broom with fairly basic charms for people who need the extra assistance. We could use a limiting charm so it can't go say faster then 200km/h which is fairly slow by todays standards. We also could put crash protection charms on it so you couldn't crash. A set of Autobraking Charms would also help," Amy said. She suddenly remembered something and headed for the book area. On one shelf was a book on racing charms. She then went into the back and located the box of them setting a copy in her locker.

"I'm going to borrow a copy of the racing charms book so I can look for ideas."

"OK, your idea does have merit though Amy. In fact I think I have a few outdated brooms that we can work with. It will take time though to remove all the old charms," Broomley indicated.

That evening Amy was sitting in the living room reading the book and occasionally making notes on a scrap of parchment. She soon had a pretty good list of charms down on it.

"Doesn't look like summer homework to me," Harry commented as he looked over her shoulder at one point.

"It's some research for work. Broomley and I are working on a training broom and I'm trying to make a list of charms that could prove useful for it."

"Any new brooms out on the market?"

"One that just arrived today. It's almost as fast as my Thunderstick which is about the best broom out there."

"I remember when the original Firebolt came out on the Market. Man talk about Willpower I would daily droll over it. Was it ever exciting when I actually opened one up on Christmas Day? I stayed for a few weeks at the Leaky Cauldron that summer."

"The Quasar is certainly pricey that's for sure," Amy said.

A Week later Amy and Broomley has their new broom ready for a Test Flight. Amy sent Edgar to Invite Jeanine to Diagon Alley for the first test flight of the new broom.

"Let me get this straight Amy. You and your Boss took an out of date broom and stripped the old charms off and gave it a new set of charms to use for training young kids how to fly a broom before they try flying brooms as fast as the Nimbus 2010 or Comet 301 or even your Thunderstick," Jeanine said.

"That's right. Just note it hasn't been tested yet," Amy told her.

Jeanine was barely paying attention though as she mounted the prototype and took off. After about half an hour she landed.

"It seemed a little slow but the handling was nice. Also it seemed to brake a little too easily. Look at it this way I didn't crash," Jeanine said.

"Jeanine, it was designed so one couldn't crash," Broomley told her.

The next Day an article appeared in the Daily Prophet.

Diagon Alley: Kevin Broomley the Owner of Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley has managed to fill a nitch long needed in the racing broom industry as he came up with a broom that could be used by kids in order to learn how to fly properly before they attempt to fly brooms that are designed for speed. The Broomlo Trainer has a top speed of 200km/h and accelerates at a leisurely 6km/s. The First flight of the broom took place yesterday in a field near Diagon Alley by Miss Jeanine Weasley a student at Nicolas Flamel Primary School near London. The Test Passenger's complaints after the first flight basically showed how perfect the broom was for testing purposes. The broom hasn't entered production yet but when it does Broomley says he will price it at around 80-100 Galleons.
