Harry Potter Steals Spirit of Njordr, A Magical High-Speed Heist Adventure Couple of short chapters now. To make up for the last two long ones. ________________________________________ "One... two... THREE!" Harry yanked up on the broom and tried like hell to hold on as it shot into the air. He saw the stands come into view and screamed, throwing his weight up and scraping over the top by an inch. He tried to slow down but the broom didn't seem to hear him. He was forced to try and control it as it careened along the ground. All he could do was try to aim the thing like a bull in a rodeo as it bucked and vibrated at sixty miles per hour. He crashed near the dock and stumbled to his feet. He stuck the Chimera to a tree with a quick fixing charm and added a really nasty curse for anyone who tried to take it. He dashed down the dock and stopped by the walkway up the Durmstrang ship. "Ayauhteotl!" Harry waved his wand and a multicolor mist appeared over the walk, revealing the wards.

The Spirit of Njordr "Well Spirit, just you and me." Harry put his hand on the throttle, the only control he could recognize. He pushed it forward and the ship surged away from the dock. He pushed it further and felt the wind flow through his hair. Ok, this was cool. He rounded the little cape and the stands of students came into view. Harry grinned, he reached into his robe and pulled out a leather pirate's hat. If he was going down he could at least put on a good show. * "THAT LITTLE BASTARD! HE'S STOLEN MY BLOODY SHIP! …and then things took a turn
