"Sure you can manage that broom, Potter? said a cold, drawling voice. Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him. Yeah, reckon so, said Harry casually. Got plenty of special features, hasn't it? said Malfoy, eyes glittering maliciously. Shame it doesn't come with a parachute - in case you get too near a Dementor. Crabbe and Goyle sniggered. Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy, said Harry. Then it could catch the Snitch for you."
