Chapter 1: A lost friend
"Oh my god! I am so sorry, Harry, I didn't mean to," said Hermione. Harry couldn't say anything but just look at the disaster that was caused to his Firebolt, it was gone forever. Harry felt like being alone.
"Harry wait," said Ron. Harry went upstairs and shut the door. He felt like he lost this best friend. "Harry, I know you feel bad about what happened. It was an accident, you know, you can always buy another one there are tons."
"Yeah, with what money? I don't have enough money." replied Harry annoyed.
"You don't? Dude I thought you were rich," said Ron. Hermione immediately cast him an evil look.
"Um, can you both leave now, I really do not feel like dealing with you two." asked Harry. "Okay," said Ron, "I hope you feel better bro." Harry just laid there thinking about how he possibly talk to Ron and Hermione, maybe he shouldn't have reacted like he did.. "I mean.. it was just a broom.." What was he saying, it wasn't just a broom it was given to him by Sirius, his godfather, which was now dead. Harry sat up and went downstairs were Ms. Weasley was busy making lunch. Harry saw Hermione and Ron sitting there talking.
"So, are you here to apologize?" asked Hermione.
"apologize for what?" asked Harry in disbelief.
"For acting like a stupid git towards us," replied Hermione.
Harry soon realized that she was right. After all they were his friends. While rolling his eyes in annoyance because Hermione always had to be right he responded with a, "Yes. "I am sorry."
"Apology accepted" said Hermione with a triumphant smile.
"So, what are you going to do about your broom?" Ron asked.
"I don't know I'll probably buy another one in Diagon Ally."
"What if you don't find one?" asked Hermione.
"Well that will be my biggest problem since Voldemort."
"Don't say that name!" cried Ms. Weasley.
"Mom he's a dead guy now, Harry defeated him. its not like he's going to come back from the dead and attack you." said Ginny.
"Did you just come from upstairs?" asked Ron.
"Nah, I came from Mars. Duh I just came from upstairs were else would I be?" Ginny's and Ron's little argument was broken off by a girl with bubble gum pink hair saying, "Wocher, Harry."
They all looked towards her direction. It was Tonks.
"Oh, hi," said Harry.
"Why the long faces?" asked Tonks.
"Harry's Firebolt just shredded into pieces," said Ron casting a look towards Hermione. Hermione made an evil stare that made Ron look the opposite way.
"Well.. you can always use mines," said Tonks.
"Really?" asked Harry with a hopeful look on his face.
"Yeah, sure," said Tonks.
"Well thanks, I guess I can use that one for a while, at least till I get my own" said Harry.
They were all talking about Harry's new broom to be when they were interrupted by Mrs. Weasley, "Okay, I suppose that all of you have everything ready for tomorrow?"
That question made everyone stop their chattering. They just gave each other looks and ran upstairs.
Mrs. Weasley just shook her head while watching all the red heads and Harry and Hermione running upstairs in a rush to get everything ready to go, "I thought so," she thought in amusement.
