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.
Ethan vaguely watched a pair of students at the course ahead of him just to get a better idea of how this game (golf?) was played. Hmm, looked easy enough.. The fifteen year old bent down at placed the ball down at the beginning of course number one. Okay.. and now he was supposed to hit it with the
putter.
The boy stood sideways, one leg on either side of the ball, and swung the putter.. and missed. Hmm, maybe not as easy as it looked.. Trying again, Ethan swung and hit the ball this time.. but he watched as the ball rolled forward, hit a large rock in the center of the course, then roll back towards him.. and past him.
Ugh.
Ethan's eyes followed the ball as it rolled, then turned as it stopped at the feet of a boy behind him.
"Oh.. hey there," he said slightly embarrassed to the younger Gryffindor as he bent down to pick up his ball. He looked at the boy for a moment.. maybe he already knew how to play and Ethan looked like a complete idiot here.
"Uhm.. were you waiting to play? You can go ahead of me if you want.. I'm still trying to figure this game out," he added with a shrug. Plus, if this kid knew what he was doing, the Ravenclaw might be able to get a few pointers by watching him.
