Whatever her name was, the captain gave her a playful two fingered salute back and turned her attention back to Tyner for more instructions.
Everything? Did that mean she could choose, then? Nodding to the professor, Alice tugged a tie off her wrist and pulled her hair up, ready to get to work. Seemed like some people were washing, and others were clipping and all, but she felt like joining that first Ravenclaw girl who'd appeared. The one who was attached to Mo and Cat at the hip, yeah?
She was kind of creepy cute.
Since the Sophie girl had already grabbed a polishing tin, she just grabbed another rag and a broom, heading over to the corner where the 'Claw had seated herself. Alice dropped down next to her and proceeded to give the broom a light scrub over with the rag first. Best have it dust free before moving on to polishing, yeah?
"Sure thing." Alice gave him a thumbs up and mentally prayed he wouldn't break anything in the process. But then again, the kid was a Quidditch nut, and she liked to think he'd have some tact around brooms, yes?
'Cause they were lovely. She reached out stroked the one she was working on with a finger, giving it an affectionate look. So lovely.
He nodded to captain as she said sure thing, well at least he knew he was going in the right direction to with what to work on.
"Aight I'll jump right on that." He turned and grabbed a broom. Not as great as his own, but they would get better with some work. He looked over the twigs and shook his head. He hadn't seen a broom this bad well ever. His brooms at home were in the best shape, his dad had bought him a brand new one a few years ago and Charely just bought him a new one last Christmas.
He twirled the boom around looking at the twigs. Horrible mess this one. Pulling his wand Bart started to trim the uneven twigs with a spell he learned at his old school,
" Flipnsnipwitit" He worked on a few of the twigs making sure they were even. See he could do a good job at something as long as book weren't involved. Did captain notice? No more laps...

He resolved to make it up to the boy, even though he'd never said anything out loud about anything.
Soooooooo Tobias put on his friendly grin and raised a hand in greeting. "'Sup."
He didn't know why he kept saying that word. He'd literally never said it before today. But apparently Toby was trying to be cool now.
And then Sander was speaking and Toby looked back. This seemed as good a place as any to sit, after all. Tobias looked around and found a stool nearby. He hooked his foot around it a dragged it a little closer so he could sit with Sander. As he lowered himself to sit, Tobias felt another twinged in his lower back, and made a mental note of himself to use more of that awesome pain relief stuff there as well. Though at this rate, he'd be running out very soon.
But for now, brooms.
"Technically, we can do either first. The only time order really matters is when dealing with the tail twigs, after all, 'cause you gotta soak or clean them clipping," Tobias said laying the broom over his knees and unzipping his jacket, as it had gone all bunched up. He loosened his scarf to take it off, and set it down beside him. "We can do the broom handles first, I always have a tendency to start with the tail twigs."
But yes. Polish. Sander had already picked up some polish, so Tobias reached back to the broom servicing stuff with a little wince as he stretched, and picked up two rags for polishing. One to put the polish on, one to take it back off.
Wax on, wax off.
He turned back to Sander and smiled, as was his custom. The older Hufflepuff had retrieved the polish to Toby would wait until he'd used it before asking to share.
As he started to look at another broom he heard the puff boy say sup he grinned,
"Not much, just glad to be with brooms instead of those horrid classes." This was where he should be in his eyes at least. If everything was as exciting as quidditch and flying maybe he could follow it better.
Starting to trim the twigs from this one he glanced at the boy,
"So do you play?" He didn't know him much or even what year he was in just seeing him in classes. Bart took a moment to scratch his fuzzy chin. It was still epic he was growing hair, but did it have to itch so much.
SPOILER!!: Sophie

There was no teasing in her voice - Sophie meant it. It was FUNNY that he had it, but... it actually kind of suited him, she thought. The randomness of him having it matched the quirkiness of the boy's personality.
Looking up as the Gryffindor Captain joined her, Sophie tried to play it cool. She did, really. Buuut... she couldn't help herself and started talking before she could stop herself. "Hey. You're good friends with Mo, right? I see you guys talk in class and stuff," she noted, still busying herself with dusting the broom handle clean of dust and dirt with her rag. It was already pretty clean, but she hardly noticed as her gaze had drifted up to Alice. "He's like my big brother. He's kinda a dork, but he's cool in his own way, y'know?"
Pause. "I'm Sophie, by the way," the second year offered a hand to the girl. "I'm a big fan of your Quidditch skills. I hope to be as good as you when I grow up." Just so she knew.
He couldn't help but grin proudly and stand a little taller in front of Sophie. Not just because she said something about his epic facial hair but she noticed his awesomeness around the castle.
"There are great places to explore and have fun around here." He still had so much to look at and figure out too. Never a dull moment in this place now was there.
Taking his hand to his facial hair, he grinned more.
"Thanks I wasn't expecting it so soon, but it's awesome. I want to show up my step brother and have an awesome beard too." Because Wade's was awesome and now he could have one too.
