Jim was bored. He sat in the last row of the lecture hall and tried to follow the professor in the front, a task which wasn't made easier by him barely getting sleep last night, after he had been out with friends. No more Sunday evenings, he mumbled and put his head into his hands. Behind him the door to the room creaked and when he turned around, Jim saw his best friend Mike sneak into the room and onto the chair beside him.

"You never guess what I got," he started to talk and Jim groaned a bit. It was way to early for a talk but Mike was his best friend.

"What is it?" he answered with a little strained smile.

Mike grinned and pulled a long stick out of his pocket and put it on the table in front of them. It was an about 10 inch long stick out of wood, black painted and silver-white tips on each side. "That's a toy wand, Mike," Jim said and raised one of his eyebrows. "I know it was a fun evening, but I'm really not in the mood for jokes right now."

"Ah, don't be like this," Mike said and grabbed the wand. "That is not just a toy wand. It is a real wand. I found it in the garbage bin of the old house at the end of my road. You know, the one the old lady lives in who we always thought was a witch."

Jim rolled his eyes. He knew who Mike was talking about but that was just a joke they were doing for years. "You dug in the garbage? And you know that we were just doing a joke about her."

"It stuck out of it and I saw and grabbed it." He grabbed the wand and held him up. "Here, let me demonstrate you," he said and waved a bit with it in the air. A moment later the professor's chalk stopped writing and even as he grabbed another, fresh one, he couldn't bring one word on the chalk board and after another two tries, he dismissed the class for the day. Jim was a bit surprised about what just had happened as he packed his stuff. Of course it could just had been coincidence.

Outside of the lecture hall, Mike had packed the wand carefully into his bag and waited for Jim. "So, you believe me now?"

"Maybe," Jim said.

"You don't," Mike said and looked around. "Come, let us head somewhere where I can show you more and we can have some fun."
