So... she had to tell the others about her customized broom.

She took a deep breath and then looked around. "Uh... My broomstick probably looks rather... different. I chose a 'dark' style for it." And no, she is not on the dark side. The girl looked at the broomstick she was holding and then spoke again. "I changed the colour to a dark blue and added glitter, so it shines beautifully in the moonlight and I changed the tail twigs into feathers." And that was it. Ah, one more thing. "And I changed two of the tail twigs into bat-like wings." Aaaand that was it.

Rex told the class and the professor " On my broom is a canteen, so I can drink water or maybe even butterbeer as I am flying or even on the ground and on the other side is a lunch bag for food, but it can be used for breakfast or dinner, too" Rex said to the professor and class. On the back I have dancing shoes for having fun when I touch down" Rex smiled. I won ballroom dance contests when I was younger and I have taught a lot of girls to dance at HogWarts" Rex explained to everyone." Neverr knw when yo uneed your dance shoes, food, drink or be ready to root for your favorite football team" Rex laughed.

Those Beaters Bats better be relevant or Jacob was going to throw a fit. He wanted to play a game... and not like a match, he wanted a casual Game, one where his heart wasn't pounding out of his chest as he hoped that the Match would end in a victory on his side.




Oh yes... Jacob had a question. He raised his hand and asked the slytherin girl. "Uhm, yes. So.... Is there any charms or other things on it that has to do with flying?" Like What did colour and feathers have to do with anything? It interested him what people might have come up with, but it didn't look like people had really thought of the flying, and riders aspect... maybe others would be more... relevant.



Now Jacob Jumped up, and lifted his broom above his head... hoping the sticking charm he had on the front would last through the exam. "So, Uhm... Yeah." He didn't exactly plan a speech... actually this was kinda awkward. "Uhm..." he let out a small sigh, as he tried to start.

"So, This is my broom, yo!" he looked back down at the broom. "Uhm..." He let out another sigh. "I--" he tried to start again, but nothing was coming to him.

"Oh, I got This!" he said "So, Uhm... Like... I painted the handle this... blue... color..." Jacob sort of fumbled for word as he tried to this what to say next. "This is kinda hard..." hmmm... "Uhm... And I, Like, used a sticking charm to stick this pillow to the front of the broom... Uhm... In spirit of that lovely Jimmy Versus Wall Incident, and as a reminder to the rider that... uhm... if you decide hit a wall, more times than not, the wall will win." geez this was actually much harder than he thought. "Uhm... Oh! And I like put a heating charm on the Handle, so that it warms up just enough to heat the riders hands, for those Chilly games of Quidditch." you know, it helped, he wished he had one on his normal broom, but he didn't want to put one on it and risk destroying the rest of the broom.

May as well get this over and done with, too. Customized broomstick in hand, she stood and faced her classmates.



"I did three things to my broomstick," she said, holding it up so everyone could see. "First, I used the Color Changing Charm to make the handle a green and silver color." For obvious reasons, duh, but just in case someone was a few jelly beans short of a Bertie Bott's box--"...because that's the Slytherin house colors, of course."

"Next, I installed a snake-shaped alarm, which is set to go off when the quaffle is nearing the hoop," she continued. You know, just in case she was somehow distracted and in danger of missing the quaffle. "Finally, I had my initials, S.G., carved into the handle," she finished, pointing to the initials with her unoccupied hand.
