Avalon spent a few more moments in front of the broom display, her fingers absentmindedly running over the sleek handle of the Nimbus 4000. She wanted to be sure that she was making the right decision. It was a big investment, after all. Eyes flickering to the shopkeeper polishing some items at the counter, the young Ravenclaw decided she would 'consult the expert' to help solidify her decision. "Hello there," she said brightly, approaching the man with a smile. "I've been saving for ages for a new Quidditch broom, and I just want to make sure I'm picking the best one. What are the main differences between the Nimbus and the Moontrimmer?" Besides price and all. "I read loads of reviews in The Daily Prophet over the past year, and I think I'm leaning toward the Nimbus. But you know the brooms better than I do!"

She glanced back at her parents, who seemed content to browse through the other merchandise in the store. At least she didn't have to feel too bad about keeping them waiting. This might be her biggest decision of the term.
