Jerri seemed very excited as she rummaged through her bag. "Now I know why dad gave me this." Jerri pulled out a very strange leather bracelet like object and started attaching it to her right arm. When she was done she placed her wand into two tight loops of leather that were attached to the wrist guard. The wand when placed stayed in place along the inside of her forearm and with a quick flex of her wrist her wand was at the ready in her hand. "This is so cool. My dad gave it to me this past summer. He said it might come in handy what with all the problems at Hogwarts last term. I had no idea what he was talking about then but I do now." Jerri thought to herself 'must remember to write to dad and thank him'. As she walked about the room Jerri would every so often give a flick of her wrist (like the muggle superhero Spiderman) and her wand was instanty in her hand. The first couple of times it flew right out and onto the floor. Then Jerri realised that she needed to curl her last three fingers just so, about an inch from the palm of her hand. This allowed her to catch the wand as it came out of the holder rather than just let it fly out and hit the ground. When she look more closely at the wrist guard, that was covered nicely by the sleeve of her robe, when she flexed her wrist the two loops holding the wand got slightly bigger. Also the end of the guard pushed against the wand creating the force that caused the wand to fling out. "So cool. I should go show Jill." SHe walked over to Jill to show her the cool gift from her dad.
