“Before we learn anything new, I want to make none of you have wands that have any serious malfunctions,” the professor said quietly. “First of all, I’d like everyone to sit down, put your wand above your head, and sit as still as possible. Pretend you are a statue.”
Quite some time later, just when LouAnn was starting to get sort of restless, the door to the classroom opened once again, and the professor strolled inside. LouAnn followed him with her eyes until he reached the front of the classroom. She studied the box under his arm, only taking her eyes off it when he requested they raise their wands.
Raise her wand...raise her wand. Had she even remembered to
bring her wand? She patted the pockets of her robes and searched inside her bookbag, finally locating her wand tucked inside the sleeve on her left arm. Once it was pulled from its hidden location, she raised it high into the air, then sat still as can be---statue-like, just as requested.
