"Isn't it like...Vindilly? Or something..." she muttered, taking extra care of clipping the broom's tail twigs. It was looking better and better already! Woooot!

So they had to polish the broom handle now? But she wasn't even done clipping the tail yet! She was close though, but not thoroughly done like she wanted to be. Stopping with the snip snip snipping of the twigs, she watched the professor show them three examples of polished and unpolished broomsticks. Well, this didn't seem so hard like she expected it to be. It was kinda stress relieving too...at least just for a little while.

When Professor Vinny gave them the green light to go back to work, she quickly finished clipping the tail twigs until she was satisfied with her work before putting the clippers away and taking out the polish along with the two rags.

So, one rag was for polishing and the other was for...buffing the polish off? Well, that made sense. Moving the broom so the handle laid in front of her, she looked closely at it, seeing what the 'damage' was. It wasn't very shiny, actually, it was pretty dull. No shine to it whatsoever. Scoffing, Evelyn opened the polish and took a moment to decide with rag she would use for the polishing. Stupid decision, but she decided the prettier looking one should be for polishing. Duh!

Taking some polish on the rag, she started to gently apply it to the handle, making sure to get every spot, on the side, the bottom, and especially the extremely dull top. Once the handle looked covered enough, she picked up the second rag and start to slowly take the polish off. It was a sloooow process, but she wanted to do this right.

Sighing, she looked up for a moment to look around at everyone else, her eyes landing on Marie. Where was Kay? She knew that she had seen them working together before but...Oh. There was Kay. Different table? Well, good. Marie shouldn't be hanging around that Hufflepuff anyways.

Smirking, Evelyn looked back down to her work, deciding that the handle had been shined as much as it could from the first coat, she went on to the second, trying to be as thorough and gentle as possible. She definitely didn't want to have to do the whole process over again a second time anytime soon, so doing it right the first time would really, really, reeeaaallly be good.
