Concentraaate," she told herself in a breathy whisper before narrowing her eyes at the lock on the chest, aiming and: "Alohomora!"
The lock rattled briefly, buzzing with magical energy before returning to its normal inactive state. Hmph! "I think I did something wrong," admitted the blond reluctantly staring at her hand dubiously. Maybe it was the whole arm movement.
Celandine watched as Daphne almost got the chest open on her first try and she bit her lip thoughtfully. Cela was pretty much 100 percent sure she could do it straight away, but she didn't want to look like she was trying to show up her friend. "Try again?" Cela suggested, hoping she could maybe get over her little internal dilemma about whether she should just let her natural ability with charms show through, or if she should intentionally try to mess it up and be a bit more average for her age with the spell casting.
