A slight shift in the position of Aggie's hat showed a significant rise of her eyebrows. "You managed to fly the broom over the fountain, pour in a bottle of fog juice, and get away before the fog caught up with you?"

She supposed Shock [i]could[/i] have just flown the broom to an area with fewer eyes, dismounted, and then booked it on foot. But in that case, it would have been easier to simply dump it in manually and then run from the start. If anything, a non-witch would have been [i]slowed down[/i] by the broom.

...Well, Shock [i]had[/i] said it had been really difficult for something that was supposed to be simple. Perhaps she just overestimated how complicated broom-flying could be. 

Or maybe she had stolen it for something else, and was trying to cover up [i]that[/i] using something she'd already been caught for as an excuse.
