This made Altha wonder what she'd looked like, being sorted, to everyone else. Somehow she felt better about receiving help from a student in her own house.
After she laughed at the thought of the food fight that had followed the sorting, she acknowledged that they were on to the next step. Grateful that Echo was going to simply show her the incantation, rather than forcing Altha to come up with some completely random guess, she tried her best to remind how the professor's voice had pronounced the incantation.
"...How did he say... Cole-Low-Port-Us?" was the best guess she had.
"awesome well welcome to Slytherin" she winked at her. Echo was really starting to like Altha, maybe she would take this little snake under her wing.
"yeah it sounds pretty close to that. Colloportus. so it kind of sounds like this. "cull-low-pore-tus" why don't you give that a try." she waited for the girl practice before she moved on to the next step which was the wand movement.
"and the wand movement is moving it across the front of you, kind of west to east and then a short movement down, and then back over to the west and the last movement is down for a short movement." she showed Altha just to make sure that she got it right.
"wait here, let me show you" she said while taking out her wand yet again.
"Colloportus" she said while doing the hand movement and she waited for the box to unlock so she could get her code to move on to the next room, but of course she was going to wait for her little first year to finish before she moved on.
