Alicia stacked the piles, double checking that they were all in order. she had no doubt that they were sound, she would never take one out if she didn't believe so. The tests in her workroom seemed to be in order but she needed to see how they would handle weight and wind. If they could support adults then it should be no problem for children. Ideally she would know how they would react to each individual, fine tune them so they are altered exactly for their rider but these had to be general. She <i>hated</i> making them general. It was good that she worked on commissions alone, her best work was done for an intended individual.

She couldn't believe Michael had actually agreed to help her. He was a God send to be sure. With his help this wouldn't take much time at all and she was sure the visuals would keep her for a long time to come. They were tiny little things, smalled than even the first year brooms. The children were younger she supposed, smaller hands meant smaller handle grips. She picked one up gingerly. She half feared it would snap if she rode it but she had made them sturdier than that. The trick would be balancing on the middle. 

Alicia looked up when she heard someone else approaching and couldn't help but grin like mad when she saw Michael. "You came!" She ran towards him and gave him the tightest hug she could muster with a broom in her hand. "Have I mentioned I love you?" She stopped short when she stepped back from him, looking him over. "Blimey, you're a bloody giant. This is going to be great," she said, laughing despite herself.
