Looking up from the broom tail she was working on, she saw another Hufflepuff walk in. Oh yes, she recognized this one from the decorating party. What was his name again? Oh Tiara, you need to do some memory exercises. Fortunately, the boy gave her name. "Yes Ian, I believe we met when we were decorating your dormitory for Tobias's birthday." She smiled at him. "There are plenty of tasks to do, so just find a spot and get to it! If you need help, either myself or one of the students would be happy to give you some pointers." She knew that younger students often felt intimidated by asking professors for help, so she was giving the option of asking classmates.

Plus, he was all achy and was starting to seriously question if he'd be ok to play Quidditch or not. So the last thing he really wanted to do was to be reminded of that by going down to the BROOMSHED. But he really had nothing else to do, so might as well, right? Maybe moving would make him feel better, especially in his knees.

"Hi Professor!" he called, putting on a smile when he saw the flying instructor. "What do you need help with?" he asked.

Excellent, another Slytherin! She had been wondering if she had forgotten their noticeboard. West was here, true, but.. he spent lots of time down at the Pitch, so that could just be a coincidence. "Good afternoon. We are working on washing tail twigs, polishing handles, and trimming up the tails a bit. Plus anything else you see that needs touch ups, of course." There were likely plenty of those.

So they were supposed to polish the handles of the broomsticks.

"Polishing the handles. Got it, Professor. We'll have them so shiny that you'll be able to see your reflection on it," Sander grinned at the Professor before going over to grab a couple of rags and a tin of Fleetwood's high finish polish.

Then he went over and picked up the first broom. Sander inspected it before sitting down and placed the broom across his knees. Picking up one rag, he first cleaned off the dust and broken chips of wood from the handle.

So the two had met before. "Good good. Tobias is an excellent student, I'm glad you two have interacted before." And she chuckled at Sander's enthusiasm. "That sounds perfect, thank you."

Great. Another place for her to see the fine lines that were starting to appear on her face.
