Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"Cedric, you just mentioned the Nimbus Racing Broom Company?"

Alexis asked, returning to Cedric.

"That's right! How irritating, sir!"

Cedric may have been really angry, his handsome face turned red, and his bright gray eyes flashed with anger.

"what happened?"

Alexis felt that it was necessary to get to know him better, so he pulled Cedric to sit on a stone pier aside.

"Do you know about Firebolts?"

Cedric asked.

Alexis nodded.

During shopping before the start of school last year, he bought a Firebolt in Diagon Alley for Harry. He still remembered that the store manager at the time said that the Firebolt would become a special broom for competitions, and that every one of its broomsticks was carefully selected. Carefully selected, hand-made, streamlined, aerodynamic and other messy things, the price is not cheap anyway, costing him 179 Galleons.

You know, even the latest Nimbus 2000 released by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company only costs about 130 galleons.

The Firebolt didn't come from the Nimbus Racing Broom Company. It was produced by a little-known small workshop called "Ellerby and Baltimore" or "Ellerby and Panama" or something like that.

What the hell is this name? It sounds like a small workshop!

"That broomstick you bought for Potter."

When Alexis didn't respond, Cedric prompted.

"Oh, I remember." Alexis came back to her senses, "That one seems to be a trial version that hasn't been released yet."

Then Alexis frowned, "However, I heard that there were a lot of problems with the Firebolt. It was originally planned to be launched last winter, but now it has been pushed back again and again. It seems unlikely that it will be launched. I heard that it fell to death. ?”

"That's fake!"

Cedric shouted angrily.

"Hey Cedric, need some help?"

Cedric's call attracted the attention of the Muggles, and several muscular men gathered around him. While rubbing their hands and arms, they stared at Alexis warily and asked.

"Oh, sorry, Uncle Nack, Uncle Sevier, no need," Cedric stood up and said, "This is my teacher. We are talking about studying."

After hearing Cedric's explanation, the several strong men immediately showed kind smiles, but paired with the muscles on their faces, they still looked ferocious.

"It turns out to be Cedric's teacher. Hello, sir."

"Cedric is a good boy."

"Yes, Cedric is a smart boy, his grades must be very good, right?"

The strong men gathered around Alexis chattering and saying hello.

Alexis didn't feel annoyed, he could feel their simplicity and enthusiasm.

After politely chatting with a few people and sending them away, Alexis and Cedric sat down and continued the conversation.

"What do you mean when you say it's false?"

"The Firebolt's performance surpasses that of Nimbus 2000 in almost all aspects, including acceleration, maximum speed, stability, and service life!

And its price is only less than 2000 Galleons more expensive than the Nimbus 50.Anyone who knows anything about Quidditch and anyone with a brain knows what this means. "

Cedric waved his arms "Firebolt!"

"All players and teams who have experienced or know something about Firebolt will choose Firebolt!"

"Nimbus 2000 will become a thing of the past!"

"But Nimbus 2000 was released in 1991, so it was only available for less than a year."

At this point, Alexis also realized something was wrong.

Valley</span> "That's right!" Cedric became even more angry, "Nimbus 2000 will be squeezed out of the market by Firebolt."

"But the Nimbus Racing Broom Company didn't concentrate on research and development, but instead had other ideas!"

"They slandered the safety of Firebolts and recruited a large number of people who claimed to have used Firebolts from nowhere to smear Firebolts in newspapers."

"The official release date for Firebolt has had to be pushed back again and again."

"But the Nimbus Racing Broom Company did not stop their bad behavior. They instigated those people to demand more than 90 Galleons in compensation from Ellerby and Badmore, the Firebolt R&D companies!"

"Oh my God! More than 90! Are they crazy?"

"Anyone who knows a little bit about broomsticks can see that this is simply a slander against the Nimbus Racing Broomstick Company!"

"But, sir, look at it." Cedric handed the newspaper to Alexis.

A headline clearly written on the newspaper:

"The sky-high price claim was successful! Is it unreasonable? Or is it deserved?"

"On June 6, Wizengamot Court No. 20 opened to hear the recent controversial case of compensation for high-priced injuries caused by Firebolts.

This incident started last year and has been going on till now, and it is indeed time to have an ending. It’s like we are following a long and nasty TV series about love and hatred, and it finally comes to an end!

Yesterday at 37:97 pm, after a court hearing, more than four-fifths of the MPs believed that Firebolt R&D companies Ellerby and Badmore had no regard for life safety and should compensate the victims for treatment and other expenses totaling 340 eight galleons. Thirteen sig is worth three nar.

It is reported that……

... Devlin Whitehorn, founder of the Nimbus Racing Broom Company, said he will submit an application to the Department of Magical Sports and Sports to ban Firebolts from the field for the safety of professional players. "

The Wizengamot is not a court in the Muggle world, and you can appeal if you are dissatisfied.

The person who appealed last time is still appealing.

Alexis sighed to herself as she thought about what happened to Sirius Black.I just hope that what Dumbledore said before will come true, and that next time Black can successfully "appeal" and successfully overturn the verdict.

With the dual blessings of Alexis and Dumbledore, and the assistance of the undegenerated old lion Rufus, Sirius Black's journey to overturn the verdict was so difficult. This small workshop called Ellerby and Badmore The outcome is almost predictable.

"I know a few players on the national Quidditch team."

Cedric was still talking.

He may be a little modest in saying that.

Cedric knew more than just "a few".

"Everyone thinks the Firebolt is better, but no one dares to speak out."

Speaking of this, this passionate young man was in a very low mood. Obviously, he didn't understand why no one said anything about something that was obviously right. It was obviously a matter of concern, but the entire Quidditch world chose to turn a blind eye and pretend to be deaf. Be dumb.

The news in the newspaper happened yesterday, but apart from this report about the result, there was no column for any player, coach or even spectator. It seemed that no one cared about this matter at all!

This made Cedric very uncomfortable.

"Are you sure the Firebolt is okay?"

Hearing Alexis' question, Cedric's body trembled, and the spark of hope rekindled in his gray eyes.He stood up and said loudly

"I'm sure, sir!"

"You have seen Mr. Potter's Firebolt! I even thought Potter borrowed it for testing. It doesn't have any of the problems mentioned by the Nimbus Racing Broomstick Company!"

"But I remember that in the first game of the Academy Cup, Harry almost hit the stands..."

Alexis was talking about the time when he discovered that Blake was watching the game and that time Harry dived from high altitude and almost hit the fence of the stands.

"Sir, believe me, it's all thanks to the Firebolt. If Potter had used Nimbus 2000, he would have fallen directly into the stadium or into the crowd!"

Alexis nodded, thinking.
