A Muggle’s Troubles

Jeremy was going through a Harry Potter phase, taking up residence in the closet.

Sandra peeked inside. “Harry was never a slob. You couldn’t find anything in here, Jeremy, much less an invitation to Hogwarts. Clean it up or I will tell every single owl that comes by that you are not fit to be a wizard.”

Just like magic, Jeremy started straightening things up.

Retreating to the living room, Sandra looked at the clutter. On a whim she whispered, “Accio earring!” Nothing moved, no earring appeared. Sandra sighed. Things sure would be easier if I weren’t such a muggle.
