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.
Dylan watched as he watched a few others play the game and he watched them too, he then saw the boy put the ball down and try his hand at putting the ball into the hole. Dylan saw that he missed, well maybe it was cause it was his first try but maybe next time he would get it in he thought. He watched again as the boy missed and the ball ended up coming towards him and ended up at his feet, he looked down at the ball before looking at the source of the greeting. He saw that it was the very boy that had hit the ball here "
Hi" he said as the boy picked up his ball.
Dylan nodded a little before shaking his head "
Yeah I wanna play, but I am also trying to figure it out. I can never get the ball into that hole over there. I wanna beat a few people here like this one girl called Minnie and so I need to know how to get the ball into the hole over there." he said looking at the hole "
Ok I will have a go see if I have gotten any better at this game" he said stepping forward and putting the ball down before looking at the hole and at his ball, he then gave it a good hit which was too much power and the ball just bounced off a small wall and came halfway down the ground.
He looked at the boy and shrugged "
I guess not yet, still need more practice it seems to me." he said stepping aside "
You can go next" he said as he smiled at the boy, then an idea came to him but he would tell him afterwards that maybe they could learn the game together and get better at it together. "
My name's Dylan Jacobs, or DJ if its easier." he introduced himself knowing that it would be weird playing a game without even knowing the other boy's name.
