"To lock it back up, you'll use Colloportus. The wand movement is like this..." Thornton drew the shape in the air with his wand much more slowly than one would cast, having learned from the previous attempt.

While Charms was easily Thornton's best subject, teaching it clearly was not. But he was certainly going to try. "Watch.."

And with a precise wand movement and a clearly spoken incantation, Thornton had locked the cabinet.


Ariadne lowered her box but still kept it close by her side. She'd worked HARD for it, after all! She was only on the first two steps in the whole process of whatever it was they were doing, though. Even the Ravenclaw prefect had kind of moved on while he was waiting for her. Yeah. She should really see what the next step in the process was.

"Colloportus," she repeated. "Got it." Then there was a demonstration, which was SUPER helpful, and of course Thornton got it on the first try. She'd hung on to every word and every move of the demonstration this time. She had her own, personal Ravenclaw helping her! Could she GET any luckier?! "Okay..." She had this. Shifting the box to her left hand, she gripped her wand tightly in her right hand.

"COLLOPORTUS!" she called out, enthusiasm and intent and all the good things hopefully showing in her words. She'd also remembered the wand movement this time, which she thought she managed to do just as Thornton had taught her. it helped that she was starting to remember locking and unlocking charms from when she was homeschooled by her mom.

There was another clicking sound, and as the cabinet re-locked, Ariadne's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "WHOA. I wasn't expecting that!" she exclaimed. They were ON A ROLL now!!! "What do we do next?!" she asked with excitement. Weren't there other students moving on? Could THEY move on, too?!
