BP2 Broom!
Harry Potter was annoyed. It was the 2015 Broomula One Japanese Grand Prix, and he had had the worst broom ever manufactured by McLaren Brooms.
"BP2 broom, BP2! Aaaarrrghhh!" Harry yelled on the team radio as he flew past the start line, into the first turn.
His McLaren broom had its bristles made by Honda, and this season it was unreliable. Out of the last 13 races, he had had to retire due to various reasons in the majority of them.
Bristle problems. Brake problems. The broom losing its magic on the start line. Even Kimi Räikkönen colliding with him on the first lap.
And now this... a BP2 broom!
The last time he had ridden a broom that had had these problems was when he was, in fact, in BP2, the race series before Broomula One. And yet he had managed to win the Championship.
But now... a BP2 broom in Broomula One? What were they thinking?
He pushed harder through the turn, trying to go faster than his opponents. But he was not getting any power from his broom. There was no power coming from it at all. Just like when he was in BP2...
It was as if the broom was giving up.
In a way, it was brooms like this that he had wished he had stayed at Ferrari. At least they made decent brooms.
"BP2 broom, you've given me a BP2 broom!! Can't you do anything?" Harry screamed as he put his foot down on the footrest. But it wasn't.
Flying into the pits for a quick service, he saw his race engineer come over.
"Can't you give this more power?" Harry asked.
"Not really," said the engineer. "We're not having much luck with the broom at the moment."
" I'm pushing it as much as I can, but it’s just not going! " Harry replied.
After servicing, he took off again on the circuit. He flew into the braking zone for the third corner, Turn Three, and he was forced to brake hard.
As he slowed down, his broom started heading to the ground.
Deciding to land it, he landed on the grassy area next to the track, jumped off the broom and threw it towards the fence. Just as a safety broom had been declared.
Jumping over the wall, he was not very happy.
"That broom is rubbish," he muttered. "I can't believe they gave me this broom!"
