"After you're finished cleaning the broom, you need to trim the tail twigs using the tail twig clippers," he said. "Carefully snip away any jagged twigs and do not attempt to reshape the tail. The clippers are all sharp so there shouldn't be an issue with them not working. Dull clippers won't work at all."

"When you're finished trimming the tail twigs, place the clippers back into the supply kit and toss the teensy twig bits into the fire. Then grab a red rag and open the can of polish."

To demonstrate what he meant, he pulled two items out Kurumi's kit.

"Tail twig clippers," Vindictus said as he held the silver clippers up for everyone to see. He then put it back and took out the polish jar. "Fleetwood's High-Finish Handle Polish - the best polish on the market." He put the polish jar back into the kit and reached for a red rag.

"Grab a red rag, unscrew the lid and dip the rag into the jar. Scoop out about a Knut's size glob of polish and then make sure you put the lid back on the jar. Work the polish into the rag for about a minute or two - this action will warm up the polish and make it easier to apply."

Well, they did need to know the simple trick or else they'd waste the polish and apply too much!

"Gently rub the polish onto the broom handle in a small circular pattern. Make sure you overlap the areas. Do not rush this step - take your time! Once you've completely polish all over the handle, wait five minutes. The polish will dry and leave a hazy finish on the wood. Grab a clean towel and gently buff off the dried polish in a small circular pattern. When you finish, repeat the polishing step again. After buffing the broom handle after the second polish application, the wood should be shining like glass. If you can't see your reflection in the handle, then you must repeat the polishing step again."

Grin.

"For those who are ready to begin polishing their brooms, please begin."

Alyssa watched as the Professor demonstrated how they had to trim the tail twigs and polish the handle. She then pulled over her journal and quickly added the next steps the Professor had given them into her journal.

Once she had written down all the instructions, she proceeded to open her supply kit and remove the tail twig clippers and the jar of polish. She read off the label on the jar. "Fleetwood's High-Finish Handle Polish. So this is the best. Will definitely need to remember that the next time I go to Diagon Alley."Alyssa told herself. "First let's trim off your twigs, Mr. Broom" Alyssa whispered to the broom that was lying on the table in front of her. She picked up the clippers and moving closer to the tail end of the broom, she closely examined the tail twigs and clipped off only the twigs that looked jagged, leaving the others along. She slowly checked each twig making sure that she had cut off every jagged one, before returning the clippers back into the supply kit.

She then swept up the cut twigs into her hand and walked over to the fireplace tossed the twigs into it.
