Tas's arm flew up into the air again. "I think the reason is in our common sense. I mean, why should we give away our secrets?

"I'm sure there were accidents, but warlocks around the world need a mean of transportation and broomsticks are very convenient." She stopped for a few seconds and frowned. "I believe if we were shouting about our world on every corner it would be a disaster... that includes our broomsticks."
