Chris walked down the corridor to the wall of potraits and took out his lock for Charms homework, and a chain. he wrapped the chain tightly around his wrist and then thread it through the lock. He walked over to the painting of an elderly old warlock with a thivk white beard and locked it tightly to his frame. "So here goes the Charms Homework." he said laughed lightly as he clicked the lock into place.
"what in Merlin's Beard are you doing?" said the old warlock in the painting.
"my Charms homework." Chris said to the old man. "You might want to be a little quieter if you dont want me to be stuck to you all day." he lsughed as he concentrated.
"oh as tempting as that sounds i think im going to have to pass." the warlock said sarcastically.
Chris pulled out his wand and pointed it at the lock holding him to the painting. "Alohomora." he said hopfully. Nothing happened.
"Oh just lovely." said the painting grumpily.
Chris shot him a dirty look.
The warlock sat up starighter and put a smile on his face. He if he ever wanted to get rid of this kid he would have to try and help. "Come on son, I know you can do it. You look like a capable wizard for such tasks. Just focus."
"Ok thanks." he pointed his wand at the lock again and said "Alohomora." he closed his eyes and then he heard the heavy lock click and then fall to the floor. He did it! "Yes!" he jumped into the air.
Chris looked at the painting the warlock was going an embarresing jig in which his puffy feathered hat was close to falling off. "Oh um sorry, about that well done, and good luck with your studies!" he waved to Chris.
"Thank you sir." Chris said and walked off back to the common room
