First off, it's a genius solution - which straight off the tick is going to appeal to me. I'd love to know more about how it works; might be useful if we're going to get more wands to more people who might have to hide them.
Second, I think Moony would agree that friends who will keep your secrets even when it means breaking the rules (and hiding an occasional illegal and dangerous magical item) may be the best friends you'll ever have. (Though that's not to say that they might not betray you, given the right circumstances, so keep a weather eye out for anyone who starts to get twitchy.)
Third, it's the best reassurance I've had in a while that the Death Eaters haven't won, and will not win, not as long as there are students at Hogwarts who are determined to be decent to you and Terry and anyone else in your situation. That's better than knowing you've got a safe way to keep the wand - and knowing that is extraordinarily good news.
That said, I guess I have to agree with the others that you need to be careful. But if you're already communicating openly enough that they'd construct these devices for you, I think you all already know that your safety is in each others' hands. It's true that the consequences for you or Terry would be more severe than your friends - but that's not to say that they don't stand to lose a great deal if their collaboration were discovered.
Anyway - good on you all for figuring out the spells, and have a good summer, kiddo. And tell Harry - well, if you get a chance, tell him you're sure his real dad would have been proud of him this year.
