It was mail time, and owls of all sizes and hues were flying into the hall. A well-fed looking tawny barn owl swooped down in front of Sparky Cobalt carrying an oblong package. Attached was a card. It had Sparky's name written on it in expensive looking handwriting. (don't ask me how handwritting looks expensive, but this handwritting does.) Inside, in the same writing, was scrawled the following.
Sparky, Glad to hear you made the team. Thought you might need this. --A Friend
The package itself contained a brand-new Firebolt. Morgan hoped Sparky would enjoy it.bg

Sparky blinked a few times. Where had his bacon gone..?
Am I hallucinating, again?! He asked himself, as he blinked a few more times. His bacon had been replaced by a box and an owl. He read the card, and was even more confused. "A friend...?" He didn't have any friends... Unless his books were sending stuff to him, now.
He poked the box a few times with his fork. He then slowly opened it, and peeked in. He pulled his face away from the box. "AHHHHH!" He yelled, as he started twitching. "...A new broom...?" He asked, ignoring the now flaming chair sitting next to him. "...A.. A firebolt...?" He said, whispering. "Are my books that rich..?"bg

Morgan happened to be sitting in the flaming chair. She yelped and put out the flames. "Aqaumenti" she turned to Sparky. "Hey! What was that about?" then she saw his package. If he was that surprised about getting a gift.... Morgan suddenly felt sorry for him.

Morgan picked up the broom. "That's not a halucination. That's a Firebolt." she said sounding genuinely impressed. She'd told her parents to send Sparky a suitable broom. She didn't know they'd send him one this suitable though.bg

"Well then, It must be a hallucination Firebolt." He said, nodding his head. "No one in their right mind would send something that expensive, not even my books."bg

He thought his books sent this to him? Morgan was floored. She decided she'd had enough of being generous and modest. "I told my parents to send it to you." she whispered to him. "Don't tell anyone else though, or they'll all want one." she concluded.bg

"You... Your Parents...?" He asked, dumbfounded. "well... I'm sorry to say you'll have to take it back. I'll never be able to pay you back..." He shook his head. "Why would you want to get me one of these, anyways?" bg

Morgan pulled Sparky out of the feating hall with one hand and held the Firebolt in the other. Onece they were out of earshot of everyone else, Morgan explained. "Listen, my parents are rich. They won't even notice the money this cost. You don't have to pay me back, It's a gift. I got you that cause I saw the state your broom was in, and I knew you needed a better one. Don't tell anyone I gave it to you. I may have the money to furnish the team with them, but I don't want people being my friend just cause I'm rich, okay?" She walked back into the feating hall and resumed her breakfast.bg

He stood there, eyes wide for a while. That's.. very very rich.. he thought, and shook his head. He went back into the Great Hall after her, and said "I'm sorry... Thank you.."bg

"I'm fourth year... " He said, still getting over the fact that he had just recieved a Firebolt, and wasn't expected to pay back.. "What about you..?"bg

"Ah..." He said, resuming the search for his bacon. "Well, Morgan, I hope that you will be my friend." He gave up on his quest for the almighty Sparky Bacon, and decided just to eat some toast.bg

((Mind if I join you?)) Areya sat down on a bench between Sparky and Morgan, a thick novel in her hands. "Hi guys," She muttered, engrossed in her book. She nodded at Sparky's broom. "'S a nice one." She said, but she didn't really care about the broom. She had her own, a Nimbus 2000, and she was content to have just that.
