"Let's go," she murmured more to her wand, arm and herself than to anyone and directed the end of her wand to aim straight on at the security device attached to the case. Maybe if she told herself that there were galleons inside the chest it would give her enough motivation to pour forth all her magical power.
Or at least enough to get the bloody lock open.
"Al-o-ho-mor-ah!" chanted the honey eyed young woman, imitating closely Celandine's previous arm movement. Once more, the lock vibrated from its spot, finding itself victim to unsuspecting magic. A click could be heard from within but aside form that, there was no visible sign that the spell had worked. Brow furrowed, Daphne hurried forward prodding the lock with her wand. "Did it work?" inquired the girl anxiously as she prodded it repeatedly, giving up on using her wand and was no tugging on the lock slightly. "I think it's stuck."
Or, you failed again. Whichever let's you sleep at night, Miss Daphne Hopton.
Celandine bit her lip and as discreetly as possible, spoke the incantation and flicked her wand. She lifted her head slightly to peer at the chest as it opened and smiled brightly at Daphne, "Look! You did it..." Cela nudged the lid close with her pinky finger, listening to the lock snap shut again, "Try it again." she suggested. Cela was fairly sure that if Daphne thought she'd done it, she would be able to do it easier. Mind over matter and all that.

"Has everyone had a chance to practice the charm and to cast it successfully? If so, I think it's time to move on to the second portion of our lesson. If not, it's not a problem at all! Just let me know and you all can continue practicing."
Celandine looked up at the professor as he spoke, "Can we,"
Daphne Hopton, "Practice a few more times?" She asked, her hand raised.
