Instead, he slid his wand along the rope, watching one... two.... three... four of the twined strands fall apart at the gentle nudge. The rope fell from Raiden's wrist.
"Well he
should." Cela certainly did. A little too much probably. She eyed the rope between Copernicus and Raiden for a moment before turning back to Daphne.

Tapping the handcuff she began to concentrate before she broke eye contact with the cuffs to look up at her Ravenclaw friend. "Would the jelly fingers jinx extend all the way to our last knuckles?" quipped Daphne squeakily, wiggling her fingers in thought. "Either way, let's try the Engorgio charm first and see if it works."
Taking careful aim at the handcuffs, Daphne couldn't help but overhear their conversation. "I think wooing Raiden isn't going to work out for you, Kettleburn."
"Engorgio!" chanted Daphne articulately, not willing to make an amateur mistake like incorrect enunciation. The handcuffs vibrated, shaking the chains that connected herself and Celandine. For an instant, Daphne was certain it was going to work as the handcuffs seemed to expand and return to their normal size repeatedly before something--went incredibly wrong.
Shrinking on them, the handcuffs tightened around their wrists, almost painfully before they ceased all movement. "Oh, fantastic," remarked Daphne bitterly, rubbing at the sore skin around the handcuffs with one finger. "I should have known it was booby trapped."
"Ouch." Celandine eyed the cuffs in displeasure and nodded. "Booby trapped for sure." She held her wrist up and examined it thoughtfully.

But Raiden wasn't about to say so while Copernicus Kettleburn was taking the rope off his wrist.
As soon as the rope was off, Raiden took his arm back and relaxed slightly. Copernicus Kettleburn hadn't cut his hand or fingers off. The class could already be called a success, at least in his books. Raiden let out a breath that he'd been holding just as Daphne Hopton piped up again.
Who was wooing who, now?! Raiden eyed them all, slightly confused. What?
"Erm... No offence to Copernicus Kettleburn," he said, frowning and scratching the back of his head. "But... I don't think he's my type." At least, if he had a type, he was sure Copernicus Kettleburn wouldn't be it. "Uhm, do you wanna do your own rope, or should I do it? I know how to do the flipsnipperthinger so... I don't really need practise..."
Well he knew how to say it properly, he did. He just.. coudn't be bothered to remember it right now.
Cela went pink and tried VERY HARD to ignore Copernicus and Raiden. This talking about types business... and... eeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Giving his wand another little flick the rain changed from water to sleet and snow and the wind began to howl and rip through the classroom with incredible speed and intensity.
Of course Lawson, was back at his desk warm, dry and comfortable in his little bubble. "Seems the elements have changed somewhat" he smirked. "Again use whatever spell you can think of to overcome this little...inconvenience." He stretched back in his chair and propped his feet up onto the table once more. Watching every move they made, to see who could handle the pressure and who couldn't. He looked at his watch, the charm on the handcuffs won't wear off for another five hours yet.
Celandine looked up as the sleet started to fall, and realised with the wind, the umbrella would do nothing. She turned her head to look around for inspiration. "I have an idea." She gave Daphne a tug over to the nearest desk.

The wind and sleet picked up, blowing around them in the classroom. Ugh. Something to make it harder to see which limb was being sliced off. Awesome. "No offense to either Miss Hopton or yourself, Raiden, but I'm sort of... unavailable."
Unavailable.
Celandine couldn't help but shoot a little glance at Copernicus as she tugged Daphne over. She pointed her wand at the desk, "Engorgio!" And the desk grew just large enough for them both to crawl under and be sheltered enough to focus. No crazy spells here.
She got on her knees and crawled under, tugging Daphne with her and wincing at the tightness of the cuffs.
