She could tell that Karma was still thinking hard about a way they could break free, though. She glanced back down at the chain, then let her eyes flicker back and forth between it and Karma. With Glisseo, the chain slid all the way off their wrists, and Anna smiled as she shook her nearly numb hand around and around.
"Good job, Karma! Okay, okay. Now for the handcuffs, right? We've done the rope and the chain...so, yeah, handcuffs," she said, reaching down to pick up the pair they'd retrieved earlier. She popped both sides of the handcuffs open, then clicked the loops back in place around both their wrists. "Alright, all locked up. I'm going to go for the most obvious spell first." With her wand aimed directly at the handcuffs, she swished and flicked and said, "Alohomora!" The handcuffs shook and actually popped open, but for some reason they clicked right back into place, locking the two girls together again. "Well, that was odd..."
Wheee. Karma might as well have done a happy dance right there. Maybe she shouldn't have been sucking on a sugar quill while taking notes... Hmm. Reminder for next time with class. When the chain slid off of Anna as well, she grinned.
"Well, that worked better than what I thought."
Now it was time for the handcuffs. She watched Anna pick them up and made sure they locked around them. The fit a bit loose around both of their wrists, but she bet that there was no sliding out of these handcuffs. Trying the most obvious spell would work, but...
"Uhm, do they seem to be getting," Karma started, as her end of the cuff seemed to tighten.
"Tighter? And a little bit warmer, as well?" She looked very confused for a second, and had mastered that look
since she was blonde. Hmph. She must have been imagining it, surely there wasn't anything going on around here. Well, Lawson was in a mood today, so he might have done something. Nahh.
"Alright. Let's try something else. Maybe Dissendium might work, because it normally can open things up like the witch statue that used to be linked to Honeydukes."
She shrugged her shoulders, and decided to try it.
"Dissendium!" They opened up slightly again, but immediately shut. She thought about yanking her wrist away, but if it shut again, she would have pulled Anna. And then, they seemed to get tighter once more.
"Well darn it." She put her free hand up to her mouth with her wand still there, trying to think. Oooh, there was one she had been taught in Germany. Maybe that one would work.
"Okay, let's try this. Solvo!" Darn it! They had opened once more, then shut. Now she knew she wasn't imagining things. The once loose cuff fastened herself closer to her wrist, and she looked up at Anna with a puzzled look on her face.
