Unlock the cabinet in front of her; that was easy-peasy. "Alohomora," she cast, flicking her wand without much thought. This was probably one of the most basic spells that even someone with minimal magic knowledge should be able to cast. Probably why the professor issued the task to them on their first lesson. A box within a cabinet. Tia only hoped it wouldn't be filled with furry creatures as the chest was at the Eagle welcome party.

Not that she couldn't handle it, but it was more than just Ravenclaws in this lesson she had to look out for.

The seventh year looked around to see if anyone needed assistance but it seemed some of her other fellow older students were already helping the younger ones.

So moving on, she figured she may as well seal up the cabinet, "Colloportus!" That part done. Now to open up the box, but she would wait for her peers to catch up first. And offer assistance if they needed it. "Anyone need help?" She looked around, expectantly.

Sam squinted at the board, trying to make out the instructions. Reading had never been her strong point, given her lack of access to books. All in all, it just made her more frustrated that the professor wasn't here bothering to actually teach them. It wasn't fair to test them when they hadn't learnt anything!

Maybe she just wouldn't bother to turn up to the next lesson, if she was just going to have to struggle through on her own. Hmph.

She might not be any good at reading, but she could people watch...so that's what she proceeded to do, quickly realising she needed a boxy thing and was meant to be getting into it with her wand. Couldn't she just use her tools? She'd been picking locks since she'd been a kid. She even had them up in her dorm. Sigh.

Sam picked up her wand, and held it gingerly as she leant against a free cabinet. It was so precious; what if she broke it? She needed help, so turned to the nearest older person she recognised.

"'cuse me. 'ead girl?" she asked, tugging on the older girl's sleeve gently. "I don' no wat tae do wiff dis," she nodded at her wand in her hand nervously. "'n th' a-lo-more-ah fing."
