Well it wasn't a spell that the prefect did.

So nothing. Nothing at all happened.

"Nice effort! Very unique and creative indeed." Fina complimented. "Anyone else have any different ideas for how to maybe open the box? If so... come on up and give it a try..."

Cael took a deep breath and walked up to the box. The Professor had said he needed to use his wand, but obviously a simple unlocking charm wasn't what she was looking for. This was Arithmancy after all, not charms.

Erm, how to go about this? Cael thought 79 seemed like a decent number. He figured the box must be sealed with magic and since 7 meant magic and 9 meant ending, it seemed that 'ending magic' would be a good place to start.

The Professor had said not to touch the box so... with a standard swish and flick he shouted, "79!" at the box.

He felt silly, but at least he'd tried.
