The small room was filled with the sounds of children quickly pulling out their wands and attempting the assigned task. Ron stared at the padlock in front of him, it had clearly been used as a prop for this lesson for a long time as rust had covered most of the lock and the paint was peeling off it revealing the cold steel. Ron started at it for a few seconds before raising his elm wand, pointing it at the lock. He could feel his magic rising within him, warming his body like it had in the wand shop, tracing the backwards S Ron attempted his first ever spell "Alohomora" the warm feeling quickly fled from his body into the elm wand, a blue faint light flew from his wand hitting the lock and with a soft click it popped open. Excitement over the fact not only had Ron been successful but he had been the first to do so quickly disappeared, being replaced with the dread of realisation about how this would mess up his plan. Quickly before even Harry, who was intently focused on performing the task himself, could notice that he had succeeded Ron closed the lock, bitterness that he wasn't able to claim credit filled him but he pushed it down.
