Saturday Morning arrived with little fanfare. The 6 met in the Great Hall for breakfast. As they were eating breakfast, McGonagall came to them and said,"Mr Potter after breakfast find me. Both you and Ms Greengrass." "Which one Professor?" Asked Hermione. "You." Replied McGonagall and she left. "What did you do Harry?" Asked Daphne. "Better question is what did Mione do Daph?" Asked Harry. After receiving shrugs, they all had breakfast, Harry and Hermione went to the transfiguration classroom. Since it was the weekend they had no classes.
They entered the classroom feeling apprehensive as it was dark. "Uh Professor McGonagall?" Called out Hermione.
"SURPRISE!" yelled a few people. The lights came on and the duo saw Andrew, Eveline, James, Lily, Catelyn, Polaris, Vega, Sirius, Leo and Jennifer. "What are you guys doing here?" Asked Harry shocked.
"Well excuse me for being too excited on seeing my firstborn." Said Lily. "Who, if I might add, is the youngest seeker in a century." Said James. "And we're here to give you a gift." Added Sirius and he along with Leo and Vega handed him a gift wrapped package. Harry opened it to find quidditch gear. "Brand new dragon hide leather gear. It's so light that you won't think that you have worn it at all." Said Leo proudly. "Thanks buddy." Said Harry pulling Leo into a hug. "What am I? Chopped Liver?" Asked Vega pouting. Harry pulled her and his sisters into a hug too. After a few seconds Catelyn pulled Hermione into the hug. A flash caught their attention and all broke apart to see Andrew holding a camera. "From us you have this!" Announced James as he handed Harry a wrapped broom. He unwrapped it and was stunned on seeing a Nimbus 2000. "That is the latest in brooms. Well Nimbus told us that they're working on a prototype for a new broom. Which they'll send it to you later by the way. As of now you have to work with this one." Said Andrew. Speechless, Harry was pulled into a hug by his parents and grandparents. "You guys are staying for lunch right?" Asked Harry. "Actually no Harrykins. Dad, Sirius, Jen and I asked for a half day at office. Being the Head Aurors and the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has its perks." Said James. "And don't forget Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, James." Chided Jennifer. "Yeah and that." Grinned James. "Well give us one more hug and then go show your broom to your friends." Said Eveline. Both Harry and Hermione gave them all a hug. "Don't look so downcast Harry. We'll be here for your first match." Said Jennifer. Giving them a final hug they left through McGonagall's floo and the duo went to the Gryffindor Common Room to put away the broom. Enroute they were accosted by Theodore Sanctum and his cronies. He snatched the broom from Harry's hands. Harry pulled out his wand but was stopped by Snape's voice. "What is happening here?" "Potter has a broom, Professor." Said Sanctum. "I know he has a broom, Professor McGonagall told me about it. My question is why did you snatch it from him." Said Snape. "I didn't snatch it Sir..." Began Sanctum before he was interrupted by Snape. "Save it. Give Potter his broom back." Sanctum return the broom reluctantly. "Congratulations on the new broom, Potter." Said Snape. "Actually it's thanks to Sanctum that I've got it." Said Harry with a straight face while Hermione giggled. Taking the broom, the duo sprinted upto the Gryffindor Common Room. All his friends grouped around him after entering. "So Harry ready for the match day after tomorrow?" Asked Wood when he came over. "100 percent." Said Harry determinedly.
