Had he mentioned that straightforward worked best for him? Had he? Because it was TRUE.

"I dunno which thing is right for the kernel... and I don't know if the range and cline are right either. I don't want to do anything without knowing for sure, because..." he looked at the box suspiciously. "Neither one of the options for the kernel sounds like it would be very fun at all."

Too many options? Hirsch smiled warmly before saying, "That's something else that makes curse breaking difficult: options. The trick is figuring out the right one." And he wasn't even going to start on what happens when you're faced with multiple curses on a box.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced down at the boy's notes. His eyebrows were furrowed slightly as he read over the words, some more than others. "You're on the right path there," Encouraging? He hoped so. "Your range and cline are perfect and you have the kernel down well. All you need to do is dig a little deeper in your thinking."

A moment's pause before he continued, "Your kernel is what the spell does, right? Take a look at another word under the 5 number meanings. See that freedom listed there? If you put it with the others, you could almost say that the spell changes," He underlined that word using his finger. "Your freedom or ability to........" He the word 'physical touch' wth his finger as well.

Was that a knowing smile on his face?

"So what do you think the box does to you if you touch it? What spell could be acting on the box that changes your ability to touch it?" The Slytherin knew it, Hirsch knew that he knew it.

OOC: You're all doing so wonderfully

Just thought I'd mention a few things: Firstly, if you've finished with the curse and have broken into the boxes, you'll find some Honeydukes chocolates and sweets in there. Feel free to make up whichever ones you want ^^

And secondly, I'm going to extend the time for this activity until tonight at 11:59pm GMT+1. This is in approximately 6 hours' time.

Have fun! ^^
