He had remembered using them last year and while they weren't the best brooms, they certainly should look as good as they could for all the new students.
Of course he was proud of his new broom. It had been a gift from a relative he hadn't met yet. When his parents had gotten the letter, they sat him down and told him about a distant cousin in Edinburgh who had been able to do things they didn't understand. This cousin had sent him a letter after he'd completed his first year at Hogwarts and offered to purchase the broom so his parents didn't have to. His father had written Sean back and allowed the purchase. The day he'd gotten it was a very joyous day, but he hadn't had a chance to try it out until he'd gotten back to school. It was magnificent and he wanted the other students to feel the joy of flying good looking brooms.
Ian looked up at is friend and said, What happened to your beard?
Adi noticed Ian avoided his question about how he lost the ten points and figured his friend did not want to speak about it. That was okay. He would respect that decision. For now.
The beard? Adi did just what any sensible person would do.
"I shaved it off. I hate beards.''
"Okay, I'm done with this broomstick, Ian. I'll go get a couple more of them for us to work on.'' In the meantime, what did he do with this one? Errr. In the end, Adi decided he would just have it lean it against the wall so that the polish would finish up drying. He did just that and hobbled off for more.
The Puffer finally returned with an armful of brooms and deposited them in front of Ian.
"Here you go.'' He grabbed one for himself and set to work.
