"Could I keep it for tonight? I'll owl it to you in the morning, if that's okay?" Penny had every intention of working on it until she collapsed from exhaustion. She could go over the list of charms herself and see what, if any, tweaks could be made to the broom itself. "I'll have it there first thing."
