The Potter Twins (3rd Year)

THE FIREBOLTS

Amelia pov

Ron and I grabbed two pillows, we slowly climbed onto his bed. I counted down, " Three, Two, One." We started to hit Harry with them, he was in his bed sleeping.

"Oi! Presents!"

Harry reached for his glasses, and we all went down to the common room where the presents were.

Ron opened one, it was the Weasley sweater.
"Another sweater from Mum...maroon again
..see if you got one."

Both Harry and I had the sweater, also a dozen home-baked pies, Christmas cake, and a box of nut brittle.

"What's that?"Ron asked pointing to two long thin packages.

"Dunno.."

Harry looked at it, they both had cards that said Harry and I names. Harry handed me one and we both opened them.

We both had got a firebolt.

"Who sent it to you both?" Ron asked.

"The card only had our names," I said.

"Blimey, who would spend that much money on you two?" Ron said.

"Well it definitely wasn't the Dursley's"Said Harry.

"I bet it was Dumbledore." Ron said,now walking around the two firebolts. "I mean, he sent you the invisibility cloak."

"That was dads though."Harry said."he wouldn't spend thousands of galleons on two firebolts. Amelia doesn't even play quidditch!"

"But maybe in a few years,she's going to join the team when Fred and George leave!" Ron said. "As a beater! And Dumbledore knows that, so he gave you those without saying! Or, maybe in case some guy like Malfoy said it was favoritism."

Then Ron laughed,"Malfoy!wait till he sees you on this!he will be sick as a pig.this is an international standard broom!this is!"

"I can't believe this."Harry muttered."Who—"

"I know,"said Ron,controlling himself,"I know who it could've been——Lupin!"

"If Lupin had this much gold,he'd be able to buy himself some new robes."

"Yeah,but he likes both of you."said Ron. "And he was away when your nimbus got smashed, and he might've heard about it and decided to visit Diagon Alley and get this for you——"

"What'd you mean, he was away?"Said Harry."he
was ill when I was playing the match."

"Well, he wasn't in the hospital wing."said Ron.
"Right Amelia?"

I nodded,"but I really don't imagine lupin affording something like this."

"What are you three talking about?"

Hermione had just walked inside the common room, carrying crookshanks.

"Don't bring him in here!" Ron said,snatching scabbers quickly.

Hermione didn't listen and dropped Crookshanks onto the couch and stared, open mouthed at the firebolts.

"Ron,Harry!who brought you two that?"

"It's amelias."Ron said.

"Amelia and I have no idea,"said Harry, "there was no card with the brooms."

Her face fell, and she bit her lip.

"What's the matter with you?"ron said.

"I don't know,"said Hermione slowly, "but it's odd,isn't it?Amelia doesn't play quidditch.And this broom is quite good,isn't it?"
