Which Broomstick?

[lattsyrck]

Which Broomstick is a magazine about flying broomsticks. It includes an order form at the back. Harry browsed it a lot when he needed a replacement broomstick in his third year and it is implied that Sirius Black used it to buy a Firebolt for Harry for Christmas. Ron also mentions it when showing off his new Cleansweep. Lee Jordan too mentioned it in The Prisoner of Azkaban while commentating the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match (The first match Harry used a Firebolt).

The Fallen Angel...
The Interview of Angelous Ombrea
By Adhara Calista

It was not noticed until recently that the professor, with a large height difference and graceful talking, whom in her days before a Muggle Studies Professor and Ravenclaw Head of House, is the quiet Angelous Ombrea a once famous seeker that resided in the house she leads today. Finding my way into her busy schedule that consists of helping the Hogwarts Community and the growing hours that slowly creep into the days of Quidditch Tournaments, I was able to give the Professor a time to stop her life-style to give a this Ravenclaw seeker a time to learn about the 'fallen angel' maker.

Seen sitting within the glowing morning star of the high noon hours; Angelous was sitting silently within the warm orange rays as she read the recently published Which Broomstick? within her official school robes, floor length, of black with white accents. With her hair in a bun that left little strays of curling black hair, she was a warm person to come up to and ask for this interview.

Calista: Thanks Professor Ombrea for letting me do this interview! I did not see it at first, but after signing up and attending your Muggle Studies Class; as well as a past picture... that you are the Ravenclaw 'fallen angel'. (Passing on the Picture that is seen below)

P. Ombrea: (Laughing softly at the old picture) Not many know still of this or my past so I am more then willing to give those of the Wizarding world more about myself since the last interview I think was done by your mother.

A.C.: I believe so mam' but we can discuss that later. Now... I heard during your lecture that you are not a pure-blood witch; did that affect you when you came into the school as a first year and also as a Quidditch player?

P.A.O.: Well yes and no really; I am a half blood; my mother a pure-blood witch who is a seer for the ministry and nurse for St. Mungo's Hospital and my father (a soft chuckle) a full blood muggle that did all with his hands and heart. When pure bloods (that I do not name still) heard of my heritage and large family they made a joke of 'muggles can't fly' and at the originality of my first name. I did not care what they thought or said of me but as long as I had a heart to keep myself going, I could do what I will.

A.C.: Interesting; not many could deal with such cool ways toward those that are only blind to their ways. Any ways; how did the fallen angel come to terms?

P.A.O.: Well lets first get to the basis of what was available to players of my time. During this era of playing the fastest thing we had was Nimbus 1500 which is not as fast as our brooms today! But during that time we (as Ravenclaw Team) were up against Slytherin during a horrible rainstorm. It was tremendous and difficult to see even your own feet that dangled over the broom so in all reality this was going to be a hard battle to win. During my searching I found the little bugger below me but at the time I was several miles in the air above even the goal hoops. Seeing that the Slytherin seeker had also seen the snitch below me, he took off like a cat after a mouse and I did as well. Seeing we had both equal brooms, going against the wind current and all other factors in the game I was not going to fight dirty and punch the block in the head for this snitch. It was really by accident that I had dislodged from my Nimbus and was free falling to this once stationary snitch.

A.C.: My goodness! That must have been horrifying!

P.A.O.: That it was after the attempt was made, but at the time I was so hyped up and blood boiling over that I did not care of the medical consequences when I let go of my broom. Many people gasped and by that I mean it went dead silent and I heard it through the rippling air; I was free falling through the air now faster then my opponent who was now stunned and stupefied really of what I was doing. But in a sheer luck one of the chasers (still I have no idea how) was below me and in an instinct knew what I was doing and caught me before I hit pitch grass.

A.C.: I noticed in this event the news at the time held in debate if what you did was legal...

P.A.O.: Oh yea... I got more then an ear and handful of words from the Professors and other players of it, that it was 'cheating' and/or an 'illegal' move but after a long debate on the field and other sort of stunts people had done... it was legit.

A.C.: Were you able to do that stunt again after that day?

P.A.O.: I did once or twice afterward but it was such a daring stunt to pull so if you did not have a real good connection with your depth of perception or with your team mates it is possible to have major injury. Last time I had tried the stunt I had actually missed the little bugger and was hit by a bludger mid-fall. Luckily my 'chaser' did catch me during my free fall and was sent to St. Mungos for severe head trauma and I was almost held back my sixth year.

A.C.: Fascinating! Well seeing you have class soon to be taught do you have any other words of wisdom to say before we end this session?

P.A.O.: To the thought of it no... If you have any more questions to ask then be willing to send me an owl! I am more then willing to take some time off from my work schedule and have a chit chat about my present, past and future!

A.C.: Thank you Professor Ombrea; I will be more willing and will be probably coming back and have more questions to nit-pick into your mind.
