 Anyone can claim the box we accidentally summoned Teapot Occamy| gryphons&giraffes&goats,OH MY | chaser of the truth | flutiful❧
Her answer had been very specific - specific to her. It was the sort of thing that absolutely no one else in this class would be concerned about but it could literally be the difference between life and death for her, so yeah, she cared about her medical equipment being summonable when needed. Cordelia was excited to try out this charm. Not that she owned anything valuable enough to want to use it on. Really, she had no idea if it was worth placing this charm on anything she owned. ”If the owner of the object is still able to summon items that an anti-summoning charm has been placed on, does it really matter if the charm is placed on things you want to summon or not?” Like, you would theoretically still be able to summon your own socks to you even if you had placed an anti-summoning charm on them, right? Not that socks were the type of thing anyone would want to protect with anti-theft magic in the first place. Who in their right mind would go around stealing other people’s socks? Whether or not she found a practical use for this charm, she was going to put full effort into learning this charm. Cordelia started out by practicing the incantation. ”Non voco furtum. Non voco furtum. Non voco furtum. Non voco furtum. Non voco furtum.” That should be enough practice saying it, right? The wand movement was simple enough that she didn’t even need to practice tapping the box to be able to do that part correctly. She was ready to try the spell on her box. ”Non voco furtum.” Cordelia tapped twice on the box with her wand. Now to summon it to see if the charm had worked. ”Accio box!” The box enthusiastically leaped from her desk, almost hitting her face in its quest to reach her. That obviously didn’t work. Cordelia caught the box and placed it back on her desk. This time it was going to work, she had a good feeling about it. ”Non voco furtum,” she said the incantation as she tapped the box twice with her wand. Confident that it would work this time, Cordelia tried summoning the box. ”Accio box!” Cordelia cast a summoning charm to see if the anti-summoning charm had worked on it. Hey look at that, it wasn’t moving! She had done it! Her victory was short lived, however, when only seconds later someone else’s box from a nearby desk landed in front of her next to her own box. What??? Clearly someone else in the class had also failed at casting the anti-summoning charm, and clearly she hadn’t focused enough on the specific box she wanted to summon. ”Uh, is this anyone’s box?” Cordelia held up the newly arrived box for everyone to see. Well, this was embarrassing. At least maybe the anti-summoning charm on her own box had worked?
