"This is true... Yes, that's why one has cursed objects. Security." Yes, wizards and witches had their own version of a security system. Which was often way more potent than the systems muggles used.

Vashti glanced down at her notes, focusing particular on the characteristics of the numbers zero and eight. She read them a couple times silently in her mind, trying to think of something the spell could do based on these traits. Then, suddenly, the words "nothing" and "movement" caught her eye. Hmm. Vashti decided it was worth suggesting, so she raised her hand. "Does it stop movement?" Hadn't some of the students, when trying to open the box earlier with magic, suddenly stopped moving? So perhaps that was what the spell did.
Ah! One person got it! "Yes! Precisely, Miss Greenwell! The two zeroes plus the eight are indicative that this spell causes NO movement! Very good! Which is to say, as you saw demonstrated not too long ago, that it stops all movement of the target."

Kurumi slowly raised her hand. "It...opens the box?" she asked cocking her head to the side. "Or rather, it gives us the ability to be able to open the box?" Sorry, Professor Hadley, but you were going to be given a follow up question to your own. "When you say that the first two numbers are what the spell effects...does that mean that the spell effects the box or it effects US, the witches and wizards trying to open the box?"

And if that was the case, did they actually need a house elf to help them open the box?! 7 was listed there in the third set of numbers that seemed to be implying that the spell needed the physical touch of both wizards and house elfs themselves, or their magic, to open the box.

Could a house elf please please PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE come to class?!
Before Hadley could go on though, there was a question coming from Kurumi. "It affects anyone trying to open the box, but in particular... well that brings us to the next question..."

"What do the characteristics of 2 and 8 tell us about what the spell affects?"


ooc: Jess' laptop seems to have decided last night will be a good night to die. So bear with her as she works through the rest of the lesson. Not much more to go! <3
