Open Friendly Competition

[Kyon Lockwood]

Kyon rushed outside, eager to enjoy the day and the legendary Hogwarts grounds. He ran over the grass, kicking a football around and laughing happily. This place was great! Eventually, he ended up in a nice patch, and he started kicking the ball around. He was laughing and having a great time, practicing his footwork. He just wished he had someone to compete play with, and tried to keep an eye out for anyone that looked willing to take the ball. It wasn't long before he spotted someone, and lighting up, Kyon passed the ball. "Heads up!" He yelled, smiling widely at them. "Think you can beat me?" He teased, hands on his hips.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael could be a pretty competitive sort. He was more inclined to hang back and analyse things carefully before jumping in, but he liked to think he was pretty apt when it came to sport. And while soccer wasn't really his thing (why did everyone seem to play it so much? He supposed it was because it was easier to play in small groups and you didn't really need anything extra for it) he could still enjoy kicking a ball around. He dribbled the ball between his feet for a moment, looking up at the other boy who called out - another first year by the looks of it. Michael grinned. "Alright, bro, you're on." And with that he jogged forward, trying to keep his footwork steady while moving the ball around.

 

[Kyon Lockwood]

Kyon let out a whoop of excitement, bouncing in place and ready for the boy to try and get the ball past him. It was always so much better playing with someone else. Kyon was intent on the new boy, watching how he handled the ball. "I'm Kyon!" He yelled, wanting to at least know his opponents name.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael focused on his footwork for a moment, dribbling the ball between his feet as he approached. He was far more used to rugby, where there was very limited kicking unless they had a shot on the goals (and Michael was not someone they got to do that - he used his speed to try and evade his opponents and score tries). "Hey, I'm Michael," he responded, looking up with a wave...and hopefully using the distraction to give a solid kick past him, although it wouldn't go far to the side.

 

[Kyon Lockwood]

Kyon was focused on the ball, not even noticing the boy wave. He dashed to the side, kicking it back with as much force as he could muster. "Kyon!" He retorted, finally looking to the boy with a smile. "Kyon Lockwood. Michael, right?" He asked, actually paying attention to the boy now. "Ravenclaw, yeah?" He clarified, thinking he'd seen the boy near his brother.
