Once Minerva was done clipping the twigs from her broom she walked over and put the clippers back where she had taken them to use. She then picked up a red rag and a jar of polish and walked back to her broom. She unscrewed the lid and dipped the rag into the polish. Minerva then scooped out a knut size glob of polish and then put the lid back on the jar tightly so it wouldn't dry out, even though with magic it probably wouldn't. She took the rag and worked the polish into the rag for a minute or two feeling the polish warm up through the rag.
