Open Keepie uppies

[Terrell Foley]

Terrell wanted to play more sports and he wasn't talking about Quidditch. Hogwarts was great in a lot of ways but it lacked a diversity of different sports. Having missed muggle sports last year, Terrell had packed a football (soccer) this year after he realised that he wasn't as good of a player since his days before Hogwarts. He took his ball to the grounds to practice some of his old skills, he played not far from the forest treeline practicing keepie uppies. He liked playing by the forest because the grass was nice and level where he wasn't spending his time chasing a ball up and down hills. He started practicing kicking the ball in the air repeatedly without letting it touch the grass. Four, five, keep-ups and he was still going. His record two years ago had been nineteen and he was desperate to get twenty one day. He was having fun being out here and Terrell started to get ideas about forming a team at Hogwarts one day.

Jordan was out for another run, pouting that he hadn't been able to try out for Quidditch but determined to keep in the best shape he could. He was on his way back when he spotted a boy nearby with a soccer ball. Jordie jogged over, panting a bit and wiping the sweat from his brow. "Whatcha doin?" He asked, watching as the boy played. He looked a little older than Jordie, but not by much.

Terrell counted seven before he took his eye off the ball and it bounced on the grass. He regained control and rested his foot on top of the ball to keep it steady. He had been distracted by someone, a boy he did not recognise asking what he was doing. Terrell thought he must be one of the new first years and probably magic born if they did not recognise keepie uppies when they saw them. "Keepie uppies, the ball can't touch the ground. You gotta keep kicking the ball up in the are using any part of your body, except hands." Terrell explained, he offered over the ball. "You wanna have a try?"

Jordan winced when the ball dropped. "Sorry," He apologized with a friendly smile. He was pleased when the boy offered to let him try. "Sure!" He was always up for a new game. He took the ball that was offered, taking a shot at the game himself. He made it to four before the ball hit the ground. He laughed, offering it back to the boy. "That was fun, thanks. How many did you get?" He asked with a friendly smile.
