Eevee stepped into the Quidditch supplies shop and was greeted by the smell of wood, it was as if she stepped into a polished lumber yard. She was browsing for a Broom Care Kit when something long and slim caught her eye. "Wow Berek! Look at this broom!" The broom was only a Moontrimmer, but Eevee never liked incredibly fast brooms, like the Firebolt. "Hmm, well if I'm going to try out for Chaser this year, Berek, I might need a new broom..."
"But weren't you going to keep your Cleansweep?" Berek chimed in. "Well, I mean it's a good broom, but look at this, it's awesome!" Eevee wanted that broom now. "Well," Berek started, "Why not pick a faster broom? I mean, Chasers need to be speedy after all. So if you're going to waste your parents' money, at least get a faster broom for the part. If you wanted to be Keeper, I'd say go for it." Eevee looked at Berek, "Well, I think you might be right, Berek. Lets find a faster broom then shall we?" Berek fluttered over to the collection of Nimbus brand racing brooms. "Why not a Nimbus 2000 or 2001? They aren't as fast as a Firebolt, but aren't incredibly slow. You'll have speed and you can cut turns easy as well." Eevee stepped over to take a look. "Well," Eevee started, "I don't really like the black, so I don't think I'll get the 2001. I think I'll go with the 2000 actually, good choice Berek."
Eevee went to the counter and asked the cashier if she could purchase the broom. He told her it would be two thousand galleons. "Two thousand?!" Eevee exclaimed. "My, Eevee, that's a lot of money..." Berek said uneasily. "Well," Eevee started, "I'm sure mum and dad wouldn't mind, so long as I make the team..." She pulled out her purse and wrote a note on a piece of parchment for the sum of twenty thousand Galleons. She signed her name to it and handed it to the cashier. Send me an owl if the Gringotts goblins give you trouble. "Thank you miss," the cashier said, and he went over to the broom closet and brought out a brand new Nimbus 2000. "Thank you sir!" Eevee said. "Will there be anything else?"
"No sir, thank you!" Eevee and Berek then left. "Oh my! Berek, look at the time, we have only two hours to get to King Cross Station and get on the platform!" Eevee had never missed the train, she had always been on the platform two hours in advance, as to pick a good seat and get everything loaded. "Well lets go collect your things and get to the station then!" Berek said wildly. The pair began to make their way back up Diagon Alley. "Flourish and Blotts first, then the Apothecary shop. We'll skip your tea leaves this time Berek, I'm sure we can get some at Hogsmeade."

Ah, the Quidditch Shop. My favorite place in Diagon Alley! thought Tiernan when he entered the store that morning. He glanced at his watch and realized he only had a few hours before he would enter his Seventh Year at Hogwarts. It was good that he purchased his textbooks and whatnot a few days early.
As he walked passed shelves filled with various bats, bludgers, he immediately stop when he came face-to-face with the broomsticks. All different kinds of broomsticks hanging aimlessly in the air. As his eyes scanned each of the brooms carefully, he was awestruck when he saw the Firebolt. Gorgeous he thought to himself. The handle was made of smooth and fine ash with a polish that glowed. "150 miles per hour in only 10 seconds" muttered Tiernan under his breath.
He remembered his cousin, Barry, show off his Firebolt when he came to visit a few summers back. He yearned for this broomstick ever since it's release in 1993. Tiernan figured if he rode this broomstick during Quidditch matches, no one would be able to catch him. While he had enough money in his Gringotts account to purchase this broom, he knew better than to splurge. Mrs. Clancy would have a fit. He walked away from the broom and left the store.

Moira entered the shop, nearly colliding with a boy on his way out. She slipped quickly into the shop and looked around. She went straight to the broom care kits, to check out the competition. Her father would want to know what the newest items were, and Moira dutifully took notice of the brand names in the aisle.
