Tina felt a little embarassed when Professor Adara said there were a lot of Nimbus fans. She wasn't going to get points off her assignment for giving an unoriginal answer? How was she supposed to know other people would have the same opinion as her? Oh well, it could be worse... At least Professor Adara hadn't read everybody's assignments out loud - or forced them to read their own!
So they were still talking about broom models. Did that mean Tina was right about testing different kinds of brooms? It seemed increasingly likely... She pondered the professor's question for a minute. Sometimes she struggled to think of an answer that hadn't been said, but this time was different. Her mind rattled off the names of so many broom models, it was hard to decide which one to mention. In the end, she went with the most obscure answer she could think of. Her hand went up, and she waited to be called on. "There was the Swiftstick, " she said. "It was made in 1952 by Ellerby and Spudmore, and it had the problem of losing power during ascent... which is why it never caught on with quidditch teams."
