The broom
After the triplets had eaten their dinner they spotted Ron and Harry sitting on the table and quickly hurried over there.
''Well done. Wood told us. We're on the team too, Beaters and Chaser,'' George said in a low voice as Wood had told them not to tell anyone.
''I tell you, we're going to win that Guidditch Cup for sure this year,'' Fred said
''We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year's team is going to be brilliant. You must be good Harry, Wood was almost skipping when he told us,'' Lucy told them.
She was a little unsure that her little eleven year old brother was on the team but knew that this was something that their father would be so proud of. After all he had been one of Hogwarts star players at his time here. And she was excited that she gets to spend more time with Harry on the quidditch field.
''Anyway, we've got to go, Lee Jordan reckons he's found a new secret passageway out of school,'' George said
''Bet it's that one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy that we found in our first week,'' Fred added.
''I still can't believe we hadn't found it sooner,'' Lucy moped, ''well see you,'' the triplets said and went to look what Lee had found, which turned out to be the exact same passageway as they predicted.

At the evening the twins challenged Harry and Ron into a game of Exploding Snap in which Lucy noticed that Harry was just as bad as she was. But that was probably because Harry was still so new to this game. The twins obviously won and they were cheering it to the whole common room like little children who beat their father in a game.
Lucy was also a bit skeptical when Ron was giving dueling tips to Harry. She really hoped they wouldn't do anything stupid. But then again she did something stupid on a daily basis so she was not one to judge. So let's rephrase it: She hoped that they wouldn't do anything too stupid.

In the morning when the triplets went to breakfast they noticed Harry and Ron chattering happily though they did seem a little tired. Like they hadn't slept well enough. Did they stay up too long at the evening?
When they started to eat their food the owls came. They didn't get anything since they hadn't done anything yet that would land them into detentions in which case they would get a letter from Mrs. Weasley yelling about their reckless behavior and giving a bad example to Ginny.
But this morning Harry's Owl came to him with a big package which obviously held his new broom by the shape of it. The triplets looked at each and swore to make Harry tell them which broom he got later. Was it Cleansweep or a new Comet? They couldn't wait. When it came to brooms and guidditch they would be totally focused.
They saw Harry looking at the note that was with the package and saw Ron's mouth drop. So the broom had to be good to make Ron drool over it. But then again Ron would probably drool over any new broom since he has on of Bill's old ones back home. Heck even Lucy's broom was old. Yes she had bought it herself and back then it was new but that was like almost ten years ago. Few years give or take. She was planning to get a new one once she would turn fifteen she just hoped her current broom would last 'till then.
Harry didn't open that package but took it firmly into his hands and left with Ron. Probably to the common room to open the package.
''We are so gonna have a look at that broom. Right guys?'' Fred asked.
''Oh yeah,'' Lucy and George agreed

At the evening when they finally saw Harry and Ron again they immediately cornered them and half demanded and half asked to see Harry's broom. As Harry went to first year's dormitory to get his broom Ron immediately started to go on and on about how amazing and beautiful and fast and so on and so on the broom was.
When Harry came down the triplets immediately understood Ron's excitement. It was Nimbus 2000. Newest and fastest model available. They almost began to cry imagining how they had to win the Cup this year.
Lucy couldn't hold herself and actually hugged Harry and thanked him for being in the team and assuring the Gryffindor's win this year. Harry awkwardly hugged Lucy back since nobody had ever hugged him before. Not that any of them knew that. To Harry's surprise the hug actually felt really nice.
Lucy then let go of Harry and pretended to wipe her eyes while Fred, George and Ron were all staring the broom with wide teary eyes.
Harry then took the broom from them and told them how Wood was expecting him on the quidditch field so that Wood could train him. The triplets and Ron told him good luck as he nervously went out of the portrait hole.
