Not so hard right?

West finished another and wrapped it in the heated towels, giving it a pat pat pat to absorb some of the excess liquid, and then flinched a little at what that small Ravenclaw Sophie kid said.

If little kids noticed...

As the older boy confirmed his thoughts, giving further instructions on the matter, Ben finished lowering the broom in his hands into the water as he listened. Right...one minute in the water, he mused to himself, counting the seconds out in his head as he stood there. When he had reached 60 he switched tasks as instructed to do, moving to gingerly turn the broom clockwise, the boy not really caring about the logic in the number of times to do so in the process.

One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...ei ght...nine...ten.

Simple enough, it almost felt like he was stirring some sort of cauldron. Ben bit back a groan at that revelation, turning his focus instead to remember the next step to avoid thinking of the dreaded potions reference. It was a repeat of the previous two steps, he registered, noticing them being joined by two more would-be broom wetters. Soak for a minute and then stir for ten times. The second year fully submerged the broom tail in the pail once more and then stirred the branches within the water mixture another succession of clockwise movements.

One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...ei ght...nine...ten.

Finished, Benjamin took one of the heated towels himself, lightly wrapping it around the area he had finished dampening before passing it one to the next step in the working chain. One down...however many more to go.
