And when the flying object hit his fingers, he clasped his hand around whatever it was.
Oh. It was somebody's wand. Lars glanced around and quickly spotted the one student who was not practicing the wand movement. Clearly, he was the one with the flying wand.
Strolling casually over to the window, Lars handed the wand to the second year boy. "You should be more careful. Otherwise, you wand might decide that it likes flying, and it won't come back," Professor Svensson told the boy seriously. He had seen it happen before, and it would be awful to happen to the boy in the middle of a school year.
"I think you're all ready to try the spell now," Lars Svensson announced to his class. You know the wand movement and the incantation now. All you need to do is put them together and be sure to point at your mouse, snail, or gummy worm. I'll be right here if anybody needs help." He would probably regret setting them loose armed with vanishing spells like that, but surely they could not wreak too much havok with one spell? Could they? Lars jumped back onto his own desk and leaned back to watch the students' attempts at vanishing.
Standing up fully, his eyes getting huge when he hears the professor mention the wand taking a liking to flying, and never coming back , he looks worriedly at his wand.
Going back to his seat, he attempts to do the wand movement again. This time, grasping the wand as hard as he can, determined it not fly out of his hand again. Actually managing to do the flick, with a circular movement, he wonders if it will work with the spell added to it now.
