Graphite can act as a permanant magnet at room temparature. Though we say that magnets attract only iron, nickel and cobalt a sufficiently powerful magnet and graphite can be attracted to each other. To understand this better take a relatively powerful magnet, bring it near an ordinary graphite pencil and observe. If that does not work, try taking out the lead of the pencil and repeat the process
