Reaching into his pockets he pulled out six galleons and put them in Vickers' pockets. "That's for the games," although Elijah was half tempted to continue to let Vee's wallet suffer after his BROtrayal, the money really was tuppence to him and his family. So much so that he didn't mind too much that he had technically paid for the Hufflepuff dweeb, also.
Elijah quickly put on his shoes and tied them, ready to get his GAME on. He was determined to beat the other team, but when he looked over at Vickers it seemed that his battle might quickly be changing into a two against one kinda scenario. "You do know the shoes won't bite you Vee," Elijah comforted, an eyebrow raised at how the 'Claw was staring at his shoes as if they were covered in acid or something.

Well, that decided it, she couldn’t back out now. The redhead quickly grabbed a pair of the bowling shoes, hoping they would fit. The man didn’t even ask for their sizes. There wasn’t a thing as magical bowling shoes was there?
She followed along to their lane, and sat down. After shoving her bag under her seat, she looked around at her companions. “Um, thanks for inviting me to join you.” She said, looking to the two who had been actually gotten her to join. Then, addressing, them all she introduced herself. “Oh, and I’m Emmaleigh.” She said giving a small smile.
Then, taking off her fancy flats her mother had insisted on her wearing, the girl realized she wasn’t wearing socks. “Crap!” she let out as she grabbed her bag and dug through it. There, stuffed inside the extra pair of shoes she had brought, was a pair of socks. Relieved, she then put the socks and bowling shoes on. Now she was ready to bowl.

His broken left arm had about a few more days before the sling and cast could be removed. It was healing faster thanks to the help of Mr.Toomb's expertise in potion making. He flexed his good arm some before plopping down on the seat beside his teammate. "Can I call you Em for short?" Oakey asked as he swapped his shoes around for the bowling shoes. He tied them on extra tight because he didn't want Monkey Face to burn these too.
He stood up and faced his adversaries, "One of you guys can go first." That's right Oakey be the better man, show one up on the Maniac.

As she was talking, she rummaged around in her bag. "So how'd you do that anyways," she said gesturing to the boy's arm with a tilt of her head.
"A-ha" she said as her hands found the objects she was looking for. Pulling out her dragon Hide gloves she asked. "It's not cheating to use these is it?" Because she had defiantly used them the only other time she had been shrunken head bowling.
Vickers gave a silent chuckle
“You have got to tell me about that boot story one of these days…” he murmured back to Elijah as he set his bowling shoes down on the floor. Then he felt something drop in his pockets and turned sharply, Elijah saying something for the game. Digging his hand into his pocket he fished out the extra galleons. Whoah that’s way more than the Curly Puff’s share of a galleon plus change
“Snacks are on me then.” he murmured in gratitude to Elijah as he sat down and started scourgifying the insides and outsides of his bowling shoes. Merlin knows he’s trying not to shudder at the mere thought of having to wear these…
Turning his head as the red-head spoke, he nodded at her and offered a small smile
“Nice to meet you Emmaleigh.” So at least they got a name now
What they go first? Vickers shifted his gaze to Elijah. He was kinda hoping the other team would go first, but then they were now on the spot.
“Okay.” Vickers nodded, not wanting to appear like the bowling intimidated him
specially in front of a girl.
Hovering his hand over the shrunken heads his face contorted unconsciously. They probably need gloves for this too. But the thought of going back to the shopkeep to ask for gloves-- that were as publicly used as the shoes he’d bet-- didn’t really appeal to him.
So without looking he grabbed a shrunken head and nearly dropped it in revulsion of feeling its tangled wiry hair and leathery skin in his grasp. He swung his arm back, swooped it forward and let the head go….
….and the head went flying-- literally.
Completely miscalculating its weight, the shrunken head soared halfway down the lane, bounced off the wooden floor, flew over the remaining gap before knocking half the pins down.
Oops?
