Cambridge needed instructions, though. "Dip your rag in the tin and get a bit on it about the size of a Knut. Then start working it into the rag. Makes it warmer and, in turn, easier to apply to the broom. Should take a minute or two." Was Dora listening too? In case she didn't know how either. Alice wasn't sure how far her best's knowledge on brooms extended.

"Then rub it on the broom, don't rush, overlap all areas.. normal stuff. Wait five minutes for it to dry, and you'll know its done when you see a sort of hazy finish on the wood." Like hers looked like now. She demonstrated the last few steps on this broom, since it was ready and all. "Use a clean towel to buff off the dried polish in tiny circular motions. And then keep repeating those steps until you can see your reflection in the handle, which should take at least two run-throughs of the steps."

Got it? Good. Alice got a Knut-sized glob of polish on her rag for the second time around.

"He's not a cat Alice, you know this and you know he doesn't like being called that." Felix was a sensitive kneazle, the world just needed to understand that. "And I brought him because he doesn't like staying locked up in the Common Room so I figured he'd like some time out on the grounds." She wasn't like the dear Captain that kept a certain ocelot locked up most of the day. Hmph.

She agreed it DID sound like the girl knew what she was talking about when it came to broom cleaning so she'd at least nod to that before the girl got a what-nut size was it again? Eh? Lex got enough on the rag and started working it on, much to Felix's discomfort with the way her shoulders had to be moving.

When he was sufficiently irrated he sank to the floor and curled up by her feey. She was wondering how long that would have taken him. Pfft.

But back to the polishing. With it 'warmer' or whatever Alice had said she began rubbing it along the handle of the broom. Tight circle for now, just getting the polish in. Once the five minute wait started she would move to the other broom.
