‘Not arguing, I hope, boys?’ he squeaked.
‘Potter’s been sent a broomstick, Professor,’ said Malfoy quickly.
‘Yes, yes, that’s right,’ said Professor Flitwick, beaming at Harry.
‘Professor McGonagall told me all about the special circumstances, Potter. And what model is it?’
‘A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir,’ said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy’s face. ‘And it’s really thanks to Malfoy here that I’ve got it,’ he added.
Harry and Ron headed upstairs, smothering their laughter at Malfoy’s obvious rage and confusion.
