Cade wasn't used to having an unexpected day off. Usually, his days off were carefully scheduled and he had his free hours filled by the time they rolled around. Technically, he would be working later than night at the Gala - a thought that made his lip curl in displeasure - but until then, he had time to kill.
He'd ended up in Diagon Alley by chance. He'd gone to buy a book at his usual shop in Wales, but the owner had said it had been sent to a shop in Diagon by mistake. Instead of waiting for the book to be owled back, Cade decided to pick it up him. Book in his possession, he was just considering the possibilities of lunch when a display had him stopping outside Quality Quidditch Supplies. A sign in the window announced the arrival of some new brooms and while Cade didn't fly as often as he would like, he'd had the same model since he'd played for Slytherin and it was well past time he got a new one.
The Stratus 2100 caught his eye immediately. It was a powerful broom with strong lines, built for speed and maneuverability, and Cade was already imagining taking it for a ride.
