Well, I'm always worried about you - you two seem to attract danger like a muggle attracts fleas. But I'm sure with Professor Raz around you're both fine. Doesn't he have any ideas about who sent it?
We were talking about it at Finnigan's, because Cuthbert said at first his grandfather thought perhaps your father sent it, to make up for being stuck at Hogwarts all holiday. But I said that didn't make any sense because your father knew very well that Harry isn't supposed to fly right now. And that's probably why the person who sent it is anonymous, isn't it? I mean, there are really only three explanations. First is because the person who sent it knows Harry isn't supposed to fly and is being, well, horrid about it. You know, taunting him with a broom he can't ride? And no one would want to do that and attach their name to it. That'd be mad.
But that's an awfully expensive prank. Cuthbert was telling us all about the Firebolt on Wednesday. He says it's got a diamond-hard polish and that they're hand-numbered and have unbreakable braking charms and, oh, I dunno, all sorts of nift features. Page was positively salivating at the thought! But anyway, it's well naff to spend that kind of gold on a present that's meant to annoy Harry, isn't it?
So the other thought we had seems to be everyone else's too, that the person who sent it either doesn't know Harry's not allowed to fly right now, or does know but is hoping he will do anyway because he's got the most snitch broom in the world. Which can only mean one thing. Macnair. And he must have stolen the gold, which is why it doesn't matter to him how much it cost.
