Chapter 360 2 Firebolts

Helga's idea was simple. She planned to comfort Salazar himself while giving generous gifts to his apprentices. With a two-pronged approach, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to capture this old poisonous snake?

As the Christmas holidays approached, Helga took action. But before appeasing Salazar, she planned to give her good apprentice a reward.

It was the last day before the Christmas holidays began. After today's breakfast, students will pack their backpacks and board the Hogwarts Express to return home to enjoy a wonderful Christmas vacation.

While the little wizards were excitedly discussing their holiday arrangements, the owls flew in.

This is a daily routine at Hogwarts, but what is different from usual is that today there are six snow-white long-eared owls that stand out among the owl group: together they are carrying a slender package.

All the students stopped holding their knives and forks and looked at the group of owls in the air.

Some old students remembered Harry two years ago, when he was in first grade and received such a package during breakfast, which contained the most powerful broomstick at the time. Later, rumors spread that the broom was sponsored by Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor House.

Judging from Harry's performance later, he is obviously worthy of this broom with excellent performance.

Since there is precedent and the students know the contents of the package, the only suspense now is who the broom is sent to and what kind of broom is inside?

Cedric, like the other students, was eager to know who the owner of the package was. Unexpectedly, six owls circled down and landed steadily in front of him. The slender package knocked over several cups and caused chaos at the edge of the Hufflepuff table.

Six owls caused chaos and flew away, then another owl flew over and dropped a letter on top of the package.

Cedric was extremely surprised: Is this for me? Should I take it back to the dormitory and unpack it?

He first tore the letter open and saw that it read: [Open the package, this is my Christmas gift to you - I look forward to the day when you win the Academy Cup]

Cedric looked towards the teacher's desk and saw Professor Hufflepuff picking up the goblet in front of him and raising the glass to him.

After understanding who sent the gift, Cedric no longer hesitated and tore open the slender package, and then a beautiful, sparkling broomstick fell on the dining table.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Cedric picked up the broom to prevent the perfect work of art from being stained with cereal and pumpkin juice.

After that, Cedric looked at the broom carefully, and then he was so surprised that he couldn't breathe: he could see clearly that this broom was the Firebolt he had seen in Diagon Alley! There was no way he was wrong!

He felt like his brain had stopped functioning.

The Hufflepuff team members sitting nearby also threw aside the breakfast in front of them and ran to Cedric's side to watch the broomstick with the best performance in the world - the Firebolt has been used in the recent World Cup qualifiers. proved his excellence.

"I can't believe it," Chaser Zachary Smith said hoarsely.

"Me too." Cedric replied numbly. He could feel the broom shaking, so he let go of his hand directly; the Firebolt without any support floated in mid-air, allowing him to fly from the top of the broomstick to the golden arrow. The serial number can be seen all the way to the end of the broom that is completely smooth and streamlined.

"Merlin on top!!!"

……

The professors at the teachers' table were also shocked: Professor Sprout is actually so generous? The first shot is a Firebolt?

Professor McGonagall fell into deep thought: She thought that her act of giving away Nimbus 2000 was unprecedented, but she didn't expect that Pomona was more willing to spend money than she was.

Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, was also confused: Who is it? Who could be so generous and just give away such an expensive broom? The Diggory family can't afford such an expensive broom!

At this time, she caught a glimpse of the little action between Professor White and Cedric. Professor Sprout's mind buzzed, and she suddenly understood who sent the broom.

"Professor White, is it you?!" Her tone could not conceal the shock in her heart.

Hufflepuff smiled and said nothing, just nodded silently.

Professors:!

"Why don't you send it on Christmas Day?" Professor McGonagall suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and asked Professor White sitting next to her.

"Of course you have to open such a good thing in public! If you open it at home, the atmosphere will be far different." Helga smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. She just wanted to let Cedric enjoy the shock and envy of all the people. How can there be so many viewers opening gifts at home?

Looking at the smiling Smith White, Professor McGonagall understood immediately.

Also, for the current Professor White, this amount of money is really not enough. The order for the dolls in her hand may have been queued up until next year, and the money is enough to buy Hogwarts.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Cedric and the Firebolt beside him, another group of owls flew into the auditorium, also carrying a slender package.

Little wizards and professors:? ? ?

This time, the package was delivered to the Gryffindor House table and thrown in front of a confused Harry.

Could it be...?

Harry opened the package with trembling hands, and a broomstick that looked exactly like the broom in Cedric's hand rolled onto the table.

The second firebolt! ! !

The whole auditorium was in an uproar.

At the same time, in an unknown and secret mansion in Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black was throwing a letter to the ground.

"Asshole, bastard! Why are they shipping now?! I remember I told them that the time would be during the Christmas holidays!!! What's the use of apologizing?!" Sirius was sent flying by Ellerby and Badmore The broom company was so angry that they got the delivery date wrong and had the broom delivered a day early.

After Sirius took two deep breaths, he quickly sat down at the desk and wrote a letter to Harry - this letter was originally planned to be sent to Harry on Christmas Day, but now it can only be sent in advance.

But what Sirius didn't know was that at this moment, Harry's head was buzzing with joy and he didn't care at all about the early delivery of Christmas gifts.

This is a firebolt! With this broom, Harry had the confidence to hang Malfoy up and beat him. From the expression on Malfoy's face at the Slytherin House table, it could be seen that little Draco was so envious that he felt separated.

"I will write a letter to my father right now. When the vacation is over, I will definitely come back with a Firebolt!" Malfoy said confidently.
