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.
Anna glared at the handcuffs, almost as if she was daring them to open and close themselves once again. Apparently, though, her glaring didn't work too well, as the handcuffs proceeded to do the exact same thing---
twice---for Karma. Stupid handcuffs. "Ooookay. Well, apparently neither of those will work. Hey, the next time it opens like that, see if you can jerk your hand away in time," Anna suggested. "Let's just try not to get our skin pinched inside of them." Yikes. That would do some serious damage on the skin. "Tighter? I'm not sure. Why? Is your side getting tighter?" she asked.
While she waited on Karma to answer, she racked her brain for any spell that might be useful. They'd used just about all of the obvious ones. Unless..."What about
engorgio? We could cast it and see if we can get the handcuffs to increase their size. It'd be really easy to get out of them then," she suggested. She raised her wand and aimed it towards the handcuffs. Swish...flick..."
Engorgio!" The loops on the handcuffs
did swell in size, although they didn't swell enough for the two girls to slide their hands out. Well...at least they weren't so tight anymore.
