"Very good observations from all of you. There is no right or wrong answer here. It all depends on what you are comfortable with. When wearing a holster there are many things to take into consideration. Like how comfortable you are drawing from a certain part of your body. How long it will take you draw your wand and the type of clothing you are wearing at the time."
He moved over to Krissy. "The ankle holster can be effective but I wouldn't make it a primary holder. It is best used as a back up. Although Miss Moon, here did show common sense by staying low to the ground once she had drawn." He moved over to Lettie. "The back holster is another good one for using as a back up. As we saw when Miss Dubois, went to draw she fumbled looking for the wand. That can be costly."
Marcus moved between Cam and Miranda. "The hip holster and the shoulder holster both require a cross draw. The hip holster is by far easier to get to but the shoulder holster is more easily concealed as your wand sits under your arm but it means you have to lift your arm to get it out."
He then stood beside Copernicus. "The thigh holster as Mr Kettleburn demonstrated his very effective as it sits at hand level. One swift movement and it is up and out. But like I said before it all depends on preference of each individual and what you are comfortable with. And of course there is the clothing factor. A thigh holster for a girl wearing a dress is not the most ideal, I am sure you can imagine why." Because he was definitely not going to say it.
"Your wand should be concealed at all times. No point in letting your enemy see exactly where your wand is sitting, kind of defeats the purpose of the element of surprise. So that is why I say clothing plays a big part in where you holster your wand."

"Professor, doesn't the fastness of it all really depend upon practice?" he asked, politely. "If you practice drawing a certain kind of holster, you'll eventually get better at drawing it, than at drawing the other kinds of holsters, no?"
Marcus moved over to thee boy who had made a very good point. "yes exactly. Thank you for bringing that up. With plenty of practice you can draw your wand from any part of your body fast enough for an effective surprise attack."
He walked back over to the desk and placed the box on the floor. "I want you all to now come to the front and take a holster that you would feel comfortable in using and start practicing drawing your wand from the holster you have chosen. There are plenty to go around and all of
different varieties, so that if you don't feel comfortable with the one you have chosen you may try out another one until you find the one you like."
