"Professor Higgins did this with a black pair of handcuffs. He used a muggle paper clip to open a pair of handcuffs like these. If this doesn't work, I may try using a quill. That's the closest thing I have to a paper clip."
He could have stopped her the moment she had made her intentions clear on what she was doing but he found it rather fascinating at the lengths she was going to. Lawson, cleared his throat and swallowed back the laugh that was determined to escape his lips.
"It won't work Abby, the actual cuffs are charmed not to open. But good try though." His eyes glanced over to Anna and Karma and he nodded in approval. "You may want to ask Miss Toussaint, how it's done. I do believe she has worked it out and has been good enough to pass onto others her findings." he nodded his head towards Anna and Karma. "As you can see they are now free."
