So she pushed her wand back into its holster, just to make extra sure she didn't accidentally cast, and then opened her mouth--"Pre-hen-so!" she said.

Luckily, the sounds came quite naturally out of her mouth, so now all she had to do was blend them together. "Prehenso!" she said again. "Prehenso!" Well, that hadn't been so hard. Deciding that she needed more practice with the movements than she did the incantation, Sierra flicked her wand out once again. She turned back to her textbook and began rereading the part that showed how to do a good twist and tap.


Again, Sierra held her wand directly out in front of her. She had to figure out a way to make this wand movement less awkward for her. It was the way her wrist was angled, and she still wasn't entirely sure it was supposed to look that way.

She twisted her wand to the right, stopping when she thought she'd twisted just enough. Then she tapped... Still awkward. Was her wrist still supposed to be turned sideways when she tapped?

"Professor?" she asked, raising her hand. "This just feels awkward. When I tap, the position of my wrist just doesn't feel right..." She twisted her wrist to the right again, showing the professor what she was talking about.
