"What's the big announcement Harry?" An eager Ron asked excitedly as Harry was holding a Quidditch Meeting in the field as he didn't have his Firebolt anymore and he knew that he should get a new broom soon.

"I just found out about who we are playing in a few days," Harry began.

"But Harry, you don't have a broom yet!" One of the Chasers exclaimed.

Harry's eyes twitched, "I'll get one soon. But anyway, will be facing off against Slytherin again since that incident that had taken place. We already won against Ravenclaw and all we have to do is win against Slytherin and we have this tournament in the bag," he said with a smile.

Everyone in the group gaped at each other, "you're not joking, are you Harry?" One of the Beaters asked.

"I assure you, I do not joke about things like this," Harry said as everyone in the group cheered about defeating Slytherin once again.

"But Harry, will you be able to play this time? I mean, Ginny had to be the Seeker the last time the team was playing against Ravenclaw," Hermione said.

"I know Hermione, it was a sudden thing that I have to do. But now that the game isn't until the twenty-third, I could buy a new broom by then," Harry said as the trio entered the Great Hall for lunch.

"Harry! Where ever did you get it?" An excited Neville asked as he had ran up to them.

"Get what?" Harry asked confused as he looked at both Ron and Hermione who shrugged.

"C'mon Harry! The Firebolt 2001!" Neville exclaimed as Ron's jaw dropped.

"That's the fastest broom since the Firebolt!" Ron cried, as he was clearly shocked.

Seamus snorted, "no shit Ron," he said as Ron glared at him.

"Did you know who sent it?" Harry asked as he was staring at the newly broomstick on the table as it was better looking then his old one.

Neville shook his head, "not a clue," he replied.

Harry frowned as he felt someone staring at him as he looked up and saw Draco was staring at him in awe and then Harry turned to look towards at the Staff Table. His eyes wondered around until it stopped on a certain someone.

Severus was talking quietly to Professor McGonagall, as he knew that Severus was trying not to glance down at the Gryffindor table to see if Harry had gotten the gift. Harry smiled as he went to pay attention to his friends.

"So, did you find out who was it?" Harry asked again.

Neville shook his head, "no. But now, we got the chance to beat Slytherin!" He said excitedly even though he wasn't on the Quidditch team.

"Harry, everyone wants to see you fly it outside. Care to demonstrate?" Colin Creevy asked as he held his camera and he took a picture.

Harry frowned as he saw half the students of Gryffindor house gathered around him. He then smiled, "who wants to see me fly?" He asked loudly.

"We do!" Chorused everyone around him.

"Follow me!" Harry called out as everyone cheered and the group was now going outside to see Harry fly.

"Are you sure about this Harry? I mean, the Firebolt 2001 is the fastest broom ever made and there's been at least an accident or two," Hermione explained worriedly.

"Don't worry about it Hermione. I'm sure that you-know-who had checked for some jinxes or curses on it before giving it to me. All I have to do now is to give that person something back. After all, I think this is a Valentine's Day gift," Harry said quietly to her with a smile.

Hermione blushed slightly as she knew what he was talking about. "Just don't do something stupid Harry," she said as Harry smiled at her.

"I won't," he promised as Hermione shook her head and heard the cheers around her as they watched Harry flew around in circles in his new broomstick.
