Beaters bats? Really they were going to whack things while in the sky?

Awesome. India was excited to say the least - pretty much skipping over to the where the beaters bats and brooms were held...well she had her own broom - but the beaters bat was moi importunate. Grabbing it she walked back over to where she had been standing and awaited further instructions.

For all she knew they could play a human game of whack-a-mole. Or in this case whack-a-witch or wizard.
