The morning mist hung low over the English countryside as Roy Valvas arrived at the Firebolt Company headquarters, a sleek stone building fitted with enchanted machinery and rune-powered forges. Accompanied by Bela White and Narcissa Black, Roy walked through the workshop where master broomwrights were testing their latest prototypes.
The hum of magic and the faint scent of burnt oak filled the air. One of the founders, Eamon Caldwell, greeted Roy with a bow."Lord Valvas, welcome. We've made some new improvements to the Firebolt's stability and altitude control since your last correspondence."
Roy smiled faintly. "Show me."
They led him to a testing field where a gleaming Firebolt prototype floated midair, its surface polished obsidian with streaks of enchanted silver runes. Roy stepped forward, feeling the surge of magic thrumming beneath the handle. With a single gesture, he mounted the broom and shot into the sky.
The world below became a blur of green and gold. The Firebolt responded like an extension of his body — smooth, precise, and faster than anything he'd ever flown. After a series of sharp dives, rolls, and a breakneck ascent, Roy landed gracefully.
Bela noted the smirk on his face. "I take it the broom passed your expectations?"Roy chuckled. "It didn't just pass — it broke them."
Letters of Opportunity
Later that evening, Roy returned to his study and wrote a letter to Nicolas Flamel, asking:
"Do you happen to know anyone in the International Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee (ICWQC)? I intend to have the Firebolt officially certified and introduced globally."
It didn't take long for a reply. The next morning, an owl delivered Nicolas's response sealed with the Flamel crest.
"My dear Roy,Indeed, I know the Director of the ICWQC personally — an old friend from our youth, Lord Leopold Rosenthal. I shall arrange an introduction immediately."
Roy's eyes gleamed. With Nicolas's connection, this would be far easier than expected.
Within two days, a formal appointment was arranged in Geneva, where the ICWQC headquarters resided. Nicolas even included a letter of personal recommendation sealed with both his and Perenelle's magical signature.
Meeting the Director
Roy, accompanied by Bela White and Narcissa Black, arrived in Geneva by portkey. The ICWQC building towered over the plaza — a blend of wizarding and muggle architecture, powered by complex enchantments that shimmered in the sunlight.
They were ushered into a meeting room where Director Leopold Rosenthal, a distinguished wizard with silver hair and kind eyes, awaited them.
"Ah, you must be Roy Valvas," the Director greeted warmly. "Any friend of Nicolas Flamel is a friend of mine."
Roy inclined his head. "Thank you, Director Rosenthal. I'm here to present a breakthrough — the Firebolt broom."
Bela and Narcissa unveiled the broom, its polished handle gleaming under the floating lights. The Director raised a brow in interest, calling in several ICWQC officials for a demonstration.
Testing the Legend
The tests were rigorous — stability, altitude endurance, acceleration, and control responsiveness. Roy flew the broom himself, weaving through aerial obstacles conjured by the committee's referees.
By the end of the demonstration, the officials were speechless. One examiner muttered, "It's not a broom… it's art."
Director Rosenthal smiled approvingly. "I have not seen such craftsmanship since the founding of Nimbus Racing Brooms. Young man, consider this broom officially certified for international competition."
Roy extended his hand. "Then allow me to propose something further — an exclusive contract for the Firebolt to become the official broom of professional Quidditch worldwide."
After a long discussion and a few signatures, the monopoly contract was sealed. The Firebolt was now the standard for professional Quidditch teams, with Valvas Enterprises holding exclusive rights to manufacturing and distribution.
The World Takes Flight
The next day, The Wizarding Weekly released its front-page headline in bold letters:
"THE FIREBOLT TAKES THE WORLD BY STORM!"Certified by the ICWQC — The Fastest Broom in ExistenceFirebolt Price: 2,500 Galleons | Nimbus 2001: 750 Galleons
Across Europe and beyond, professional Quidditch teams scrambled to secure their orders. Stores from London to Liyue, Paris to Prague, sold out within hours. The Liyue branch store, personally founded by Roy, became the global flagship, attracting both witches and wizards from distant lands to witness the broom's majesty.
At the Valvas Mansion, Bela handed Roy a copy of the magazine, smiling proudly."Your Firebolt has become a worldwide phenomenon."Narcissa added with her usual grace, "And every team that flies it will carry the Valvas name to glory."
Roy gazed at the photo of the gleaming Firebolt in flight and said softly,
"Let them fly higher than they ever dreamed — on the wings of progress."
As the world celebrated the dawn of a new age in Quidditch, Roy Valvas stood quietly at the center of it all — the unseen architect of magic, innovation, and destiny.
