Braking Charm

The owls appeared over the four house tables and Jamie looked up. A flash of white amidst the grey and brown caught his eye.

“America’s here” He said, glancing over at Alicia, who was sitting opposite Harry.

“Really?” She looked up too. She watched as the snowy owl flew lower and lower

“Told you” Jamie said, returning to his toast. Alicia took the letter off the owl and then read through it quickly. “Well?”

“Did you order a broom under my name?” She asked, looking up.

“No” Jamie said, taking the letter out of her hand. “A Firebolt?” He said, looking up.

“Exactly! I don’t even fly while I’m here- so why would I order a broom?” She asked, frowning at the letter. “Streamlined, superfine handle of ash, treated with a diamond-hard polish... Hand-numbered with its own registration number... Tail twigs of birch, individually selected and honed to aerodynamic perfection... An unbreakable Breaking Charm... Unsurpassable balance... Pinpoint precision... Acceleration of 150 mph in 10 seconds... When you pick it up then let go, it hovers at exactly the right height to mount... Turns with the lightest touch... Superbly smooth action... I think I’ll keep it” She said and Jamie grinned.

And another one for you!
