The Quidditch House Cup Was a Stage a Little Too Small

Looking across all of Hogwarts, the only person Maxi Branch and Joseph Gonzales could really be said to know was Luna.

The two captains led their players up into the stands and headed straight for the section where Luna was sitting.

The students around them looked pleasantly surprised and shifted aside one after another, making room for the players from both teams to sit down.

Whether they were Luna's dormmates or Vizet's dormmates, with Luna's introductions, they soon became familiar with the teammates from both teams.

"Vizet's flying skills are that amazing..." Anthony Goldstein asked curiously. "Are you planning to... invite him to join the team?"

Joseph Gonzales shrugged somewhat helplessly. "We do have that idea, but Vizet said... for now, he's still focusing on his studies and isn't considering it yet."

Luna's dormmate Olivia Yaxley then asked, "Is it because the Quidditch World Cup is being held here that you came over to see Vizet and Luna?"

"Actually, we also have to play postman..." Maxi Branch took out another package. "Luna, should I open this for you... or..."

"Branch, let's wait until we get back to open it!" Luna said with a gentle shake of her head. "Thank you!"

"What's inside?" Amica Miller, who was sitting beside Luna, asked. "It looks... like a Flying Broomstick?"

"Could it be..." Anthony's eyes widened, clearly having thought of a possibility. "It wouldn't be... a Firebolt, would it?"

"That's right!" Joseph Gonzales chimed in. "I gave another Firebolt to Vizet... If we really had to count it, that was the true main purpose."

"Back then, it was also thanks to him helping communicate and coordinate things that the Magical Congress promised us they would step in and purchase a batch of Firebolts for us after we helped lure the Fire Dragon away."
