I GOT MY BROOMSTICK!!

AND IT'S A NIMBUS 2001! They aren't even in shops yet its a proto type and I got a whole tour of the Nimbus factory and saw their design room and where they test-fly broomsticks and it was full on wizard!

Now I know why there wasn't a broom under the tree. The factory isn't even open on Christmas!

Your mother was enlisted as my co-conspirator, I'm afraid. We didn't intend to send you into distress; only that yesterday was the earliest I could arrange the outing.

Besides, you did ask to accompany me on a working day. My work is not all directing consulting on operations at the Ministry, nor even on the council. I want you to begin to understand how we maintain the family interests.

At your age I was already becoming familiar with the various holdings. It is proper that you should meet and become known to the people whose businesses are also our concerns. I cannot pretend it is all excitement (to-day's meetings can attest!), but the more you are aware of our portfolio's diversity, the more equipped you will be, in time, to help manage it.
