Glad you're happy about it, mate, but better you than me, really.

The school's Cleansweeps are more than fast enough for me, believe me.

[alt_draco]

Ha! Did you see the look on everyones faces when the Owl came in with it?

I can wait to try it, it looks completely wizard. It's so much sleeker than the cleansweeps, and the bristles look better woven, as well.

[alt_harry]

It was priceless!!

Hey, are you actually going to do that thing that Teddy suggested? Only I have an idea about it.

[alt_draco]

Well, yeah, maybe. I'm just curious about it. Aren't you?

[alt_harry]

Yeah, definitely. But I was thinking we could probably get her to do it herself. I have some Chocolate Frogs that your dad sent still left. I bet she'd do it for some Chocolate Frogs, since she's being punished with no food.

[alt_draco]

That's a good idea, even if it does mean depleting the stash of Frogs. And that way it won't get on any of us. Even if Auntie Bella says it's perfectly safe, that doesn't mean I want to risk it.

[alt_harry]

Pansy told me that it's always better to use wit or bribery than force, so I think it's very Slytherin of us, really.

[alt_draco]

I agree. See! I knew you were always meant to be in Slytherin.

[alt_harry]

Well, Pansy did have to tell me why you were so pissed about the Neville thing, that's a bad sign, isn't it? But I'm learning.

[alt_ron]

Seriously?

That's brilliant, Harry. Saw one in Quality Quidditch while we were getting my school things and it was beyond cool.

[alt_harry]

If you want to take it out for a whirl, you can, you know. Just come find me at supper or something.

[alt_ron]

You're having me on, yeah?

[alt_harry]

Well, you aren't going to break it, are you?

[alt_ron]

Not bloody likely. Stare at it a bit, might even goggle at it. But I'd just as soon break my own neck than a broom that good.

[alt_harry]

Well, and you're a pureblood, so there you go then, why wouldn't I want you to use it?

[alt_ron]

What's that got to do

Been raised by a houseful of Gryffindors, mate. Those house rivalries were part of my upbringing about as much as washing up before supper.

[alt_harry]

Right. Well, we never talked about houses much except that Draco and me were going to be in Slytherin. Didn't really need to be talked about, see.

[alt_ron]

You never even debated the others, just for a laugh?

[alt_harry]

We didn't really talk about the others.

[alt_ron]

If you didn't talk about them, then what did you do?

[alt_harry]

Played Quidditch and Exploding Snap? Read books that Tutor made us read? Teased the house-elves? Sneaked old copies of Martin Miggs when Mr Malfoy wasn't looking?

[alt_ron]

Huh. Doesn't sound so different than what we did, save the house-elves and tutor part. We didn't have much of that 'round the Burrow.

[alt_draco]

Well, we didn't do it in some place called the "Burrow," for one. Shouldn't that be a verb, and not a noun that refers to a dwelling?

[alt_ron]

Not only twisted then, but witty on top of it.

[alt_draco]

Oh, I'm certain that he's dying to use it.

Only don't you think both your Father and mine won't like that? His family believes in rights for mudbloods, which is the exact opposite of what our Lord Protector and my father taught us.
