"Class, please take your seats," Merlin sat his briefcase down on the desk.
"He's our professor?" whispered one pupil to another.
"Yeah, how old is he anyway?" the student replied.
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me," Merlin spun around and grinned at the pupil.
"I am Professor Merlin and if there are no further questions I would like to introduce you to my colleague, Archimedes."
Merlin gestured to the door where the owl flew in with his own briefcase in foot.
He swooped over to his perch and hung his case on the branch.
"Oh sorry," proclaimed one student. "I didn't realize this was Hogwarts."
The class chuckled in mockery.
"If you are done with your childish games, I would like to begin the lecture now," Merlin narrowed his eyes at the student causing the disruption.
"Go ahead," the student suggested.
"Thank you," Merlin turned to the chalk board.
"But I don't think we will learn anything new from you old man."
"Ooooo," went the class in unison.
Merlin ignored the delinquent.
"First we will learn that..." Merlin began writing on the board.
"Magic will not solve all your problems."
The professor rubbed the palms of his hands together; riding of any chalk residue.
"I disagree," the delinquent announced.
"Your hypothesis?" inquired the professor.
The pupil waved his wand in a circular motion.
"Arubus, mutas!" he chanted.
Merlin angrily pointed a finger at the pupil ready to say a few choice words but nothing came out of his mouth.
"See? Problem solved!" the student grinned.
The class chuckled.
"I'm afraid the professor has lost his voice. I suppose that means class is canceled."
The class cheered and headed for the door.
"I hope you feel better Teach," the pupil winked at Merlin as he closed the door behind him.
