"So you use this, your wand to channel your magic. It's just a medium for you to be able to cast magic spells." She smiled patiently, as she explained the wand. "The alohomora is an incantation used to perform certain actions, in this particular scenario, it's used to unlock the cabinet. So you just flick your wand at the cabinet, while saying the incantation of Al-oh-o-mo-ra, which you could practice without the wand first to get the hang of the pronunciation and then wait . You'll hear the cabinet click unlock if it works."

"Sam," she replied with a small smile, already starting to feel a bit better about the whole lack of a professor situation. At least this way she got to meet someone new. The Head Girl from her own house, no less.

She nodded at Tia's explanation. It wasn't that she didn't know what a wand was, or even what it could do - she'd seen plenty of people do magic - she was just little nervous about doing it herself, especially without being able to understand the instructions on the board properly. Had the Hat just set her up for a fall, putting her in Ravenclaw?

"Al-oh-oh-mo-wahh," she repeated, trying to mimic Tia's voice as best she could through her own accent. "Al-oh-oh-mo-rahh. Al-oh-o-mo-rah." The word felt awkward on her tongue. 'Open!' would be much simpler.

"Al-oh-o-mo-ra."

Was that it? She looked at Tia for some kind of sign if she was getting closer. "Could ya show me th'and flick?" Like, was it from the wrist or the arm? How big should it be? How tight should she hold her want to ensure she didn't drop it mid-flick?
