"Our first lesson, Furture Aurors, will be on readiness. Specifically WAND readiness. All too often I see wands tucked into hair styles, book bags, pockets, and other places where they are hard to reach and impossible to find in an emergency. In fact, I had an encounter with a student who had to pat down his robes then search through his bag to finally conclude that he had left his wand on his bedside table. No Death Eater is going to wait for you to find your wand, and Voldemortist isn't going to send you back to your dorms with a hall pass. You must be vigilant, and you must be prepared."
"You may have noticed that I myself carry my wand in my braid. To be honest, I spent almost a year perfecting my technique to pull my wand instantly." She shifted her hand only slightly and it looked as if the wand appeared there by magic. "I don't recommend carrying it there, although that is a fair enough spot to put it during class or while studying. I wouldn't even do it then if you have a habit of shooting sparks from your wand accidently... hair is actually more flammable than you think," she grinned.
"Take this time to find a place you can carry your wand and a way you can pull your wand to make the best use of your time and resources. Consider all your options, and don't be afraid of trial and error. I'll be moving among you to help if needed. Think of it as the Muggle cowboys used to call it... 'the quickdraw.'"
