"Only if you hit it really hard and break the greenhouse glass" he nodded. "So that was actually a good hit." Better than some people probably did on their first try, heck he betted some people would completely miss and fall flat on their faces. He knew the girl comment had offended, Terry truly had nothing against girls, in fact most if not all of his friends were female. "I was joking. I reckon loads of girls could beat me at a game like this." And he wasn't afraid to admit it. Some girls had amazing aim and used their brains to work out angles and stuff, he just hit it and hoped that it would go near or into the hole.

Luckily for him, his strategy worked. His hit wasn't perfect, there was no doubt about that but it was good for a first try, at least he thought so. Maybe he should have a go at proper golf with his Uncle when he got home, he might find he was good at him.

Terry didn't really know why sport wasn't his thing. He loved the outdoors, wide open spaces. He loved the smell of the countryside and running across fields to get to his destination but sports, especially those of the muggle variety, just didn't interest him at all. "It's not all wide spaces though" he glanced around at the obstacles that were dotted around the course. "The windmill looked coolest to me." It looked difficult though, with the blades spinning round and round and having to get the ball through the middle without hitting one of them. It was a challenge he was going to accept.

Judging by her comment, Lex wasn't keen on the Slytherins, something that completely baffled the twelve year old. He wasn't judgemental, he didn't care what houses people were in, as long as they were nice. "Thanks" he chuckled at her statement. He thought himself to be 'decent,' he was polite and friendly. "It was my sister who wanted me to be a Snake, I didn't mind which house I would be in." They all had something special about them. "Cool!" he grinned. He hadn't met many Gryffindors yet, they were mainly Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.

Hmmm...what was with the frown? She didn't say anything wrong, in fact she had merely stated a fact. The point of it all was that she could have done a more decent job if she could really give it a good whack. Quite suddenly a wide smile attached itself to her face. She was positive that the thought of breaking a window in the greenhouse shouldn't have pleased her so much so she tried covering the smile by clearing her throat. "Umm..ahem...that's a...er...an interesting point right there..." More than interesting actually and she really wanted to try it now. This kid sure knew how to come up with great ideas--even if he was only a boy. She tapped the putter against her palm a few times as she listened to him explain himself. "Uh-huh. I thought so." So this one proved to be smart as well. It was a good quality that made him all the more tolerable. "Though this isn't much of a game...I've had more fun watching paint dry..."

It was actually a good bit of fun watching that paint dry...especially when one was trying to smudge the paint before it did! Heh, that would teach Amanda to listen to her more often; she said she wanted the livingroom painted in a nice shade of blue NOT that stupid beige colour so naturally adding a few smudges ~~and mud~~ was the best option to teach her a lesson. Hmph!

Lex shrugged. He was only half right. "There's no open space over here but I'm sure there's plenty just beyond this course." There had to be; this was a big school with lots of space! She pondered that for a moment...lots of space meant lots of running around and swinging without the annoying possibility of breaking anything. Oh? She turned at his mention of the windmill, trying to locate the above mentioned obstacle. It DID look kinda fun...but not the kinda fun you had knocking a ball into it...more like the fun you got when you climbed something... "Yeah...I bet it'd be fun to play over there." A part of her wondered if he would actually pick up on the fact that her sentence had a double meaning. Probably not.

"Oh so then you have a sister that comes to Hogwarts too?" A lot of people seemed to have relatives here. She was glad she didn't; it would have made things too annoying. "And I know what you mean..sort of...I didn't know where I wanted to be sorted but I was leaning closer to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor--Not Hufflepuff." She simply would have died if anyone tried referring to her as a puffer. CRINGE.
