The second year was amazed how a first year managed to keep up with the lesson this quickly. Yes, they were already at the end of the term where firsties must've learned much more but Genny never seemed to find Arithmancy easy to keep up.

A hard, concentrating look passed over the Gryffindor's face when Arielle started explaining things. It didn't sound too complicated at first, but then there were verbal magic and physical touch curse and Genny was confused again. "Uhm. I think what you said sounds good. But.. if the curse is activated by magic... shouldn't it have been activated when we cast the spell that made the numbers appear?" Hmm? "In any case, I can try and open the box with my hand first and see if it opens or if it turns my fingers jelly-like." She couldn't help but puff up her chest a little at that. She was more than willing to be cursed and go through an exciting adventure in this boring class where no one is dueling anyone else.

Without waiting for an agreement from Arielle, because she might refuse and deprive Genny of her desire to be cursed, Genny grabbed the box and tried to open it.

Arielle opened her mouth to try and stop her, but it was too late. Her new friend opened the box and... Nothing happened. Fingers still normal, senses all good, the girl took out some Honeydukes candy. Arielle wondered if the curse was broken when the box was opened or if a nonverbal counter curse needed to be performed. That must have not mattered though, as Professor Tanner praised Arielle's partner for her work, meaning they didn't need to do anything else. Tanner had called the girl "Miss Tate" and Arielle realized she didn't know what to call her. "I didn't catch your first name..." she said to the girl, and then turned to her unopen box that Proffessor Tanner hadn't noticed. She unlatched the box and took out the candy while both the proffessors were busy with other students. She didn't know if partners were only allowed one box, but she wasn't going to pass up the opportunity for Honeydukes, and Arielle didn't much enjoy sharing.
