Jill sat down.
"An Auror must be ready for anything," she thought. "I should get to quickdrawing in any situation, including sitting," Jill concluded. It was pretty difficult to quickdraw, not to mention uncomfortable, while sitting. Jill sat down, pushing her tricep to angle her wand so sitting would be comfortable. "Now how to quickdraw like this...?" Jill wondered. She smiled. She grabbed the bottom of her wand with the tips of her finger, and curved-shot it out into the open, closing her fingers and palm at the end to hold her wand firmly in place.
"Yay! I did it!" Jill brightened. "What if I'm lying down?" Jill immediately lay down. "Hmmm.." Jill pondered, then lit up. She whacked the bottom of her palm against the bottom of her wand, swinging her legs underneath her with enough momentum to bring her body to its feet. A few things happened: Jill tripped over her feet and landed back on the floor - hard - and her wand clattered uselessly a few feet beside her.
"Well, that didn't work," Jill reached over and grabbed her wand. "Ow, my bum..." she thought. "Let's do that again," Jill concentrated. Her wrist whacked against the butt of her wand as she shifted her weight forward, her feet jumping to the ground as her hand firmly gripped against her right side. Not sooner did Jill stand did her wand hand shoot straight, wand at the ready. Jill smiled.
