Open Kicking Around

[Joshua Lynch]

It was the second semester of the school year and Joshua had enjoyed exploring the castle. He was still shocked to find out that there were talking portraits and that there were ghosts around the castle. However, today, Joshua was bored. The first year always seemed to get bored easily. Luckily, he was glad that he had brought his football this time around. The Gryffindor boy grabbed his football and hurriedly made his way to the great lawn. He didn't really know what he was gonna do with it, but when he reached the great lawn, he kicked the ball about. Josh kicked the ball for a bit, dribbling it between his feet, until he accidentally kicked it hard and flew in a different direction, the ball making its way towards someone. "Head's up!" Josh called out to the person, but Josh wasn't sure if him calling out was too late or not.

Whenever Isadora got bored, she usually found herself wandering outside. The castle was fun and all, but it didn't beat being out in the sun. In her almost two years at Hogwarts, she had explored most of the grounds, but she still wasn't tired of it. She had just walked a new route past the lake, when she heard someone call out. Isadora looked up and saw a ball flying her way. With a grin, she jumped in front of it and attempted to catch it. It bounced out of her hands and Isadora ran after it to grab it. "Got it!" She called to the boy. "Do you want it back?"

Josh sighed in quiet relief when the ball hadn't managed to hit the girl's head. He didn't want to get into an argument or anything. The Gryffindor boy watched as the girl got the ball, chuckling a little when she didn't quite catch the ball and ran after it. He cheered loudly when the girl announced that she had the ball. "Of course dude!" Josh called back with a laugh when she asked if Josh wanted the ball back. That was his ball, and he didn't want to lose it.

Isadora laughed when the boy said he wanted his ball back, of course he did. She put it on the ground and took a few steps back. "Here it comes!" She called before running up and kicking it in his general direction. It went a bit off to the side, but at least she had managed not to kick it entirely the wrong way. Isadora wasn't nearly as good at sports as her sister. Just another thing she was worse at. "Here you go!" She called. "What were you playing?"

Joshua cheered as the girl kicked the ball, glad to have his ball back. Though it went off course a little, he didn't mind and quickly made his way to grab the ball. He dribbled the ball a little between his feet. He smiled at the girl as he asked him a question. "I dunno aye. I was just gonna quick that ball and see what would happen." Josh says with a chuckle and shrug. It wasn't a full-on lie. He was most likely going to make a pretend goal with his shoes or something and just kick the ball through his makeshift goal. "Do you play any sports?" Josh asks the girl curiously, as he continued to dribble the ball between his feet.

Isadora was glad the boy managed to intercept the ball easily, despite her less-than-stellar kick. She smiled at him, tilting her head a bit. "Oh, okay." She said, not sure what to make of that. Isadora knew there were a lot of muggle sports that involved kicking balls, but she didn't know much about them. The only sport she knew was Quidditch, and she had never been very good at that. Isadora shook her head at his question. "I'm not really good at Quidditch." She admitted. "And I don't really know any muggle sports."
