Freshly showered and fed after her morning run, Marsha had her hair neatly braided so that it was back out of her face and it wouldn’t be a distraction throughout class. When she arrived to find an empty classroom without a Professor part of her wondered what was going on, while the rest of her chalked it up to Hogwarts. Never a dull moment.

As the door slammed closed behind them, she raised an eyebrow slightly but paid full attention to the voice of their new professor. Okay, Cabinet and Box. Open, Lock. Open, Lock. She wondered silently if that order was important, but supposed that if this was a test it wasn’t the type of thing you wanted to chance. Nope, Gryffindor had far too many points to catch up on for taking stupid chances… Or for Gryffindoring as Professor Airey had told them.

Weaving through the students to find a space, Marsha found a lower down cabinet, figuring that there was no point in stretching upwards when she was so short. Heck, a lot of the first and second years were taller than her. Fingering the hand of her wand, and rotating it slowly in her hand, she took a few deep breaths to center herself and to think about what she wanted to do. As she raised her wand and pointed it at the glass, she spoke clearly, picturing the latch letting go to let the door free. ”Alohamora!”

She smiled as she heard the ‘click’ seconds before the door swung open for her.
