Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Chapter 9 1/2 - The Nimbus 2000
Chapter 9 1/2
The Nimbus 2000
Harry continues to focus on his lessons the next few days… and also on the mystery of the package from vault seven hundred and thirteen. Then one day, while having lunch in the great hall, hundreds of owls fly in carrying letters for their owners. Several of the owls are flying in a group, holding a long object in their talons.
They fly towards Harry and drop the object onto the table in front of him. The object is long and slim, and wrapped in brown paper - it is obviously a broomstick! There is a letter attached to the object. It reads:
Ron and the children nearby all look at the broomstick in amazement. Later that afternoon, Harry opens the package in his room. “A Nimbus Two Thousand!” says Ron, who is very jealous because he knows he will only get one of his older brothers’ broomsticks. “I’ve never seen one before!” The broomstick is beautiful. It is long and thin, and it looks very fast!

Harry continua a se concentrar em suas aulas nos próximos dias... e também no mistério do pacote do cofre setecentos e treze. Então, um dia, enquanto almoçavam no grande salão, centenas de corujas entram voando carregando cartas para seus donos. Várias corujas estão voando em grupo, segurando um objeto longo em suas garras.
They fly towards Harry and drop the object onto the table in front of him. The object is long and slim, and wrapped in brown paper - it is obviously a broomstick! There is a letter attached to the object. It reads:
Eles voam em direção a Harry e largam o objeto na mesa à sua frente. O objeto é longo e fino, e embrulhado em papel pardo – é obviamente uma vassoura! Há uma carta anexada ao objeto. Lê-se:
DO NOT OPEN THIS AT THE TABLE! It is a Nimbus Two Thousand, and I don’t want all the other first-year students to know that you have one, or else they will all want one, too. Oliver Wood will meet you on the Quidditch field tonight at seven o’clock for your first training session.
NÃO ABRA ISSO NA MESA! É uma Nimbus Two Thousand, e não quero que todos os outros alunos do primeiro ano saibam que você tem uma, ou então todos vão querer uma também. Oliver Wood irá encontrá-lo no campo de quadribol hoje à noite às sete horas para seu primeiro treino.

Ron and the children nearby all look at the broomstick in amazement. Later that afternoon, Harry opens the package in his room. “A Nimbus Two Thousand!” says Ron, who is very jealous because he knows he will only get one of his older brothers’ broomsticks. “I’ve never seen one before!” The broomstick is beautiful. It is long and thin, and it looks very fast!
Ron e as crianças próximas olham para a vassoura com admiração. Mais tarde naquela tarde, Harry abre o pacote em seu quarto. “Uma Nimbus Dois Mil!” diz Ron, que está com muito ciúme porque sabe que só vai ganhar a vassoura de um dos irmãos mais velhos. “Eu nunca vi uma antes!” A vassoura é linda. É longa e fina e parece muito rápida!
