215 Please Ask Your Broom to Behave!

Adrianna caught the broomstick in her hand and held it in a firm grasp. 

Isidorus went on to explain, "The broomstick has formed a connection with you Adrianna. Now it will listen to you. When you mount it, think you are mounting a horse. Your mind is its leash by which you are going to control it. The broom is going to absorb your plan and fly accordingly. In case you have changed your plan, don't worry, it will read that too. Whatever you do, you need to give a clear picture of what you want from it. 

"No one will be able to ride your broom other than you unless you allow them. This is why each wizard or witch has his or her own broom. Otherwise an entire family could use one broom for their various purposes. A broom is like your car."

"How do I mount it? The wooden handle is so thin that I will fall from it," wondered Adrianna. The broom moved slight left and right in Adrianna's hand as though it felt insulted for having doubt it's capabilities.
