Ten minutes later, she sat up, setting her book to the side. She hadn’t really been able to concentrate. The challenge of the unsolved number was just calling to her. She edged closer to the box, though not too close. She shut her eyes and took a few deep breaths before trying again. Up, down, and up, and flick! “Arithmos Revelio!!” She spoke forcefully, concentrating hard on making the numbers appear.

2808052749

Oh. Well, numbers had appeared and they were quite clear, but were they correct? She silently compared the two numbers, a smile slowly growing. She had done it! After about three long hours, she had managed to reveal the numbers!!

Grinning now, she peeked at her Arithmancy notes to discover the next part of the assignment: Using what you know about the spell placed on the walnut, try to open it by bypassing the curse. This would be a little more difficult. She had known what to do during the first part of the assignment. This was going to be more guesswork than anything else.

Though..she would hold off for now. Her mind still felt fuzzy from the continued attempts at revealing the spell. To remedy that, she would go out and enjoy a bit of fresh air. Then she would be ready to continue.
