So they would be learning about anti-summoning spells today after all! Theo would certainly be pleased to hear that his daughter was learning spells that were commonplace at the Ministry. Avalon listened intently as her classmates listed some things that should and should not have the charm. She couldn't really think of anything unique to add to the conversation, so she opted to stay quiet, scribbling a note on her parchment every now and then.
Whispering the incantation to herself a few times to get the pronunciation right, she grasped her wand. With a gentle double tap on the box and a firm
"Non Voco Furtum," the first year attempted to protect the item. But other than a slight jostle of the lid, nothing seemed to happen. Perhaps that meant the spell worked? There was only one way to find out. Avalon walked a few feet away from her desk and pointed her wand at the box.
"Accio!" Without missing a beat, the box soared through the air and into her hands. No success.

He noddred and glanced at the box on his desk. Why was the box not on another table? He didn't know. Austin shrugged and didn't put up his wand as he quietly pronounced the incantation a few times to get the hang of the words.
"Non vo-co for-tum. Non-non-vo-co-for-tum. Non voco fortum."
Okqy. That was done. He picked up his wand and tapped the box two times as he said the spell.
"Non voco fortum."
Okay. Let's see if this works.
He took his wand and pointed his wand at the box.
"Acio," he said.
Austin frowned when the box got summoned to him. Really?
Glancing over her shoulder, Avalon noticed that her friend Austin seemed to be having similar trouble.
"Mine didn't work the first time either," she said as she placed her box back onto the table. She didn't think she had done anything wrong - in fact, she had followed the instructions diligently. But the professor said that this charm could be tricky to master, so maybe it just took a bit more concentration and effort.
"Maybe we should keep trying?"
