"Finite," Kurumi said, giving her wand another flick and ending the spell. The recorder fell out of the air, and Kurumi's Seeker reflexes kicked it to allow her to catch it before it hit the table's top. Okay...so...that certainly had both worked and not worked. At least it hadn't played a single loud note or anything.

Still...the prefect was curious and used her handkerchief to clean the the recorder a bit before bringing the instrument to her lips. Probably should have test this FIRST to see if it would play at all before trying to do it with magic, yeah. Kurumi blew...but no sound came out. At all. Now THAT was odd.

Kurumi peered into the instrument now, trying to see what the problem was, but seeing how small the holes were and how dark they were...well...there was no easy way to see into it. So, back to blowing she went. She blew until she was red in the face, but still no sound came out. Erm...ok...this one was broken.

So...back to the box she went and picked up another one. "Sir, I'm afraid this recorder has something wrong with it," she said as she set it to the side. You know, just in case someone else tried to use it.

With a new recorder now, Kurumi returned to her seat and tried for a second time. The recorder rose into the air as it had done before and this time produced sound, but it was disjointed and off tune...way off tune. Well, at least she knew that this one was capable of producing sound, yeah.

With a small sigh, Kurumi cast Finite again and caught the recorder with her hand. Time to refocus, or something.
