She was inclined to completely ignore him, but then he addressed her in that TONE. No one could speak to her so rudely!

"I'm being good and learning," she said as coolly and calmly as she could. This boy didn't even deserve her attention, let alone her anger. And anyway, soon more people came in, the door closed and they were given the instructions... through a recording or some sort of it. If the boy spoke to her at this moment, he might as well speak against a wall, because she would be completely motionless (including not breathing) to hear it all properly.

...

The blackboard revealed the instructions... and Katherine gulped. She HAD read about these charms' theories during the summer, but she had never practised them. All she did was the lifting charm in the train and very simple transfiguration in her dormitory. Although these spells sounded easy, she didn't want to blast the glass cabinets, tyvm. And she had to prove to this rude boy that she was BETTER than him, so she did the most logical thing: walked to the older girl.

She spoke very clearly, attempting to set an example. Hear that click? This was what you did little ones.

"Hi," she greeted her and returned her smile with her brightest, "May I watch?" Apparently she could, because the girl did it slowly. Okay, this one ought to be... easy. Katherine also knew that INTENT and VISUALISATION were key parts of spells. So - the boy still ignored - she drew her own wand out of her pocket and picked the cabinet right next to the girl. However, she didn't rush to doing the spell; instead she inspected the cabinet first and tried to figure out how the lock worked. Then, once she thought she had an imagine of it, she closed her eyes and literally imagined the lock going off with a click as she said the spell. She then tried to copy the wand movement - the reverse S or whatever. And at last came the correct way of pronunciation: Alohomora. Al-LOH-ha-MOR-ah. Alohomora. Al-loh-hamor-no, Al-loh-ha-mor-ah." Alohomora... right.

She took a deeeeeeeep breath, touched the cabinet with her left hand as the right hand held the wand. She visualised the lock again... "Al-LOH-ha-MOR-ah!"

...

Did it... click? Katherine frowned to herself. She wasn't sure, so she held onto the holder and pulled it... with more force, and TA-DAA, THERE WAS THE BOX! So what if she hadn't unlocked the lock FULLY - it still opened on her first try ~~with a little force~~, didn't it? IT DID. So, she BEAMED to herself and peeked at the boy (did he see THAT?!?! She had opened it on her F I R S T E V E R try!).

This was like, easy.
