As he neared, Ethan could see that it was some sort of large and interactive game.
He stood at the side for a few moments, watching the other students, to get an idea of what was happening. They seemed to be trying to hit little balls with metal sticks and guide them around obstacles to get them into holes. Sounded interesting.. and he was rather bored so he thought he'd give it a try.
Ethan peered at the rule list posted near the entrance. Green eyes scanned the instructions and list to familiarize himself with the way the game was played. Oh.. that stick thingy is called a putter? He picked up one of those and a bright blue ball and made his way over to hole number one. Because that was obviously where to start.
Dylan wanted as much practice as he could get from this game cause one day he was going to beat someone at this game.. he was! He got that sticky thing that they called a putter and he carefully chose a ball hoping that it would be a ball that would easily go into the hole without him doing much. He went over to the first hole and saw that an older boy was already there trying to play the game too. Dylan was now interested to see how this guy played cause if he was good at it he could be another person to teach Dylan how to play this game and then one day he would be a champion at this game. He stood behind the boy and waited to see what the boy would do and how he would do it.

"Then we did a ball throwing lesson once, with another spell." She shrugged not remembering exactly which lessons they did these in. It felt like the four years were running together. Minerva stepped forward and looked scared for a second, "Oh if you think creatures with big teeth are scary, you should see what's in that lake. They will take you and send you down to the bottom. Then the squid will throw things at you, no one really knows exactly what's in there." She knew the squid was harmless, but Dj didn't know that.
Minerva then watched as she could see the frustration in DJ. She didn't mean to upset the poor kid, she just wanted him to realize that classes were important and that he needed to pay attention to learn these things. "Well you know DJ these boring classes that you have been complaining about and the boring professors as you say all taught me these fun little spells that I just did on your lion head and my hair. So if you just be patient and stop complaining you can have fun after learning." Was she being to Kumurmi right now?? This made Minerva think.. She remembered hearing some of her lectures first year, not to her, but to others. Shaking her head she smiled, "Now let me teach you something. Point your wand at the lion head and say Reverto." she smiled, better to make him learn how to fix things then just do it for him.
Dylan listened as she talked about the classes that she had been in, shield charm? boring!!!! but wait it could help shield them from spells "
Ok.. so maybe that shield charm.. thingy is cool cause it.. shields us.. from other spells." yeah and next time she decided that she wanted to change his color he would just do the shield thingy and she wouldn't be able to change his hair color. "
Ball throwing? meaning.. we got to throw balls at other people?!" he asked getting excited cause he had talked about the educational snowball fight with Edmund but he hadn't realised that they could do it with balls too!! so it just wasnt a winter thing at all!! He must tell Edmund that sometime.. that they could have the game even with no snow! He watched as she stepped forward lookng all scared, but he was more interested now more than anything else "
They will? It will? What.. what kinds of things? No-one? Like so if I go down there I will be the first to know what is down there? that would be awesome!! then I would be all famous and stuff for telling people what is in the lake!" he said getting more and more excited by the prospect of being famous and everyone thinking that he was all cool.
He looked up at her listening, he thought about what she said "
Really? So.. if I like .. waited.. then there would be a really cool class? But.. you cant have much fun with like.. herbs and stuff.. cause thats what Herbology had the first time round.. and that was boring.. but if they had.. like.. plants with huge teeth or something.. then that would be a great class" he said his mood improving as he talked about toothy plants. He saw her shake her head and smile as she instructed him on what to do. SHE was going to teach him something?! "
It had better be a cool spell! AND you have to change the head back to how it was after I do the spell" he said as he pointed his wand at the lion head "
Re.. Re.. wait.. Reeeverrtoo" he said as he watched his lion head spin as smoke covered the lion head "
Did it work? Did it? huh .. huh" he asked excitedly looking from her to the head, he watched as the smoke cleared and his lion head was on its side still spinning a little aaannnddd ... still purple! "
It didn't work!! What kinda spell was that?! one that doesnt work!" he said not too happy that the spell she had given him did not work at all, if it wasnt a working spell then why did she give it to him to do! He felt like crying cause wanted his lion head back to normal.. and quick! but he didn't cause his dad had told him that big boys didn't cry and he was a big boy so he wouldn't cry.. he just wouldn't!
