Sydney joined the line in front of the chest. When her turn came, she stepped up confidently. Holding her wand in her right hand, she made the connected C & V wand movement and aimed at the chest. ”Cistem Aperio!” she cast. The chest jiggled a bit but didn't open. Well, that was somewhat disappointing!
Defeated for now, she stalked to the back of the line. Why hadn't it worked on the first try? What was she doing wrong? She did the right wand movement and said the right incantation… maybe she just needed more power behind the spell.
As her next turn came, she stepped up to the chest once more. For Merlin's sake, get it right, Syd! There are people watching, she thought. Focusing all her concentration on the chest, she made the wand movement again. ”Cistem Aperio!” she cast, a bit louder this time.
The chest blasted open with a BANG! There, that was more like it! Sydney took the parchment inside and carried it back to her seat. What would the instructions say? Whatever it was, she hoped it involved more box blasting… or searching that abandoned hut. Either would be fun, especially some combination of the two!
