"See? There you go. Now you're beating me handily." But not for long... maybe. He gave the arrow a soft flick. He was happy that it had landed on six, the highest possible spin. He moved his piece accordingly, counting out the number each time his piece hit the next square. "One, two, three, four, five, six." He had landed on 23.
Upon examination of his row, he realized there was only one ladder. But it was a BIG ladder. One that would let him skip over sixty spaces. That would be awesome!! But I won't get my hopes up.
"Your turn, Lyssie."
"
Wha....No way! Hey are you using magic to make that arrow stop where you want it to?" Alyssa asked eyeing her Quidditch Captain suspiciously. No way was he that lucky. Maybe on a broom but definitely not in a Muggle game like this. Alyssa was now more than determined to beat him. She spun the arrow as hard as she could....and it flew off and hit Keefer on the forehead before bouncing back onto the board. Alyssa quickly covered her mouth because she was trying not to laugh out loud.
"
I'm so.so...sorry....I....I...did....did...nt...know.. ..tha....that...was going to happen.....heeheeeheeeheeee...."Alyssa couldn't contain herself any longer. Keefer had a red mark right in the middle of his forehead. She quickly retrieved the arrow and stuck it back onto the spinner. "
There all nice and new."She told Keefer trying not to look at him because she knew that if she did, she would bust up laughing again. So she kept her eye on the spinner and this time gently gave it a spin.
The arrow spun around a couple of times before it landed on a 5. She moved her marker 5 squares until it landed on 36. "
Yay! another ladder. I wish that it was one of the longer ones, but I'll take it. "Alyssa told Keefer as she moved her marker up to sit squarely on 44.
