She looked over at West and nodded. "Yep. Read everything I could on broom upkeep last term." Because she had to know everything about anything that had to do with quidditch so she wouldn't feel stupid.
"Great. Grab what you need." He smiled at Adelaide again, pleased that she'd come along, and indicated the seat next to him. She could sit there if she wanted yeah?
... and then aaaaafter maybe she had some browwwwwwwnies lying around?

She bit her lip again before talking. "Erm....No?" She blushed a little. At least she could learn now right? "Alright, no sweat. Here is what you do. Take one of these buckets here." He nudged one over, he'd filled it already with water and the cleaning solution so that would save time for her. "have a couple of these towels handy, they've all been charmed warm, but they won't burn you its just for the brooms for when you're done." West indicated the pile of towels and then looked at Grace to see if she was paying attention.
"So then we take a broom and we dunk the twig-end in the solution gently. Let it soak for about a minute, then we stir it gently clockwise ten times. Then let it soak another minute, and stir counter-clockwise ten times." Got that? Yes?
"Once you do that, take it out, let the liquid drip off, and then pat them down with the towels, and wrap them in the towels and put them aside so the people at the next station can grab them. Okay? If you get stuck watch someone else." Since there were a few others working at it now too.
SPOILER!!: Theo and Derry

'Okay hi...' she said as she reached people. 'Sorry ...'

They were so chewy that his teeth were getting super sore, but hey ho, he didn't care.
He nodded at West and stood idly next to him. Wasn't late, was he? "Ite?" He said finally after swallowing his mouthful of sugar.
This was so boring already...
AHH... Theo could feel a fever coming on.
Oh HERE they were. Two of them.
West squinted at Derry and Theo. Yeahh not off entirely scott free. K? Late.
"You guys are late. But whatever. You can choose what you want to help with... cleaning tail twigs," With him, "Trimming them." Over there with Tyner, "Or polishing." He pointed at the polishing group and then eyed Theo. What was he eating?
