She moved her wand hand in a clockwise motion, circling her wand twice and then flicked it three times, before pausing. After the pause, she gave two quick flicks and then raised the wand slowly up until it came back to rest.

"Did I do it right, Professor?" Amelia asked nervously.
"Not quite," he smiled encouragingly and repeated the motion while he explained. "Three turns clockwise, then two slow flicks, pause, and one long flick."

"Yes, both of those are correct. The diary can only be opened by speaking the correct password," Professor Doyle confirmed. "And only the person who cast the password charm should be able to turn the pages. A sort of double security measure. However, it should be noted that this charm can be broken so, if you have something you want to keep absolutely secret, you either need to purchase a special diary with added, unbreakable, security measures or keep those thoughts in your head. For every day use, this charm should suffice since students and most other witches and wizards would not know the counter-charms necessary to break it. So, make sure you remember the password you've chosen."

Professor Doyle wandered around the class a bit more before coming to stand in front of his desk. "Now we will learn the incantation. Clausaltus Obfirmo. It spoken during the pause between the two flicks and the long flick. Practice saying the words without your wand. Then, practice the timing of the incantation by moving your wrist but, without a wand.

"Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o," he enunciated.
