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.
Ethan nodded as the boy spoke.
"It's a bit harder than it looks, isn't it?" he said a bit pensively as it seemed the other boy wanted more practice. The fifth year watched as the Gryffindor took a turn at the game and smiled a bit grimly as the ball hit a wall and rolled back.
"Minnie...." Ethan repeated.
"Hufflepuff girl? About my age?" He nodded.
"Yes.. I know her. Is she.. good at this game?" He shot the younger boy a questioning glance. Maybe the two of them could practice a while together and he could beat her as well..
"Oh, where are my manners," he said as the boy introduced himself.
"Good to meet you, DJ. I'm Ethan," he added as he stuck out his hand. He shrugged,
"You did better than me, I think." After all, DJ's ball was closer to the hole and that was the object of the game, right?
"Alright, thanks," Ethan smiled back at the boy as he stepped aside. Yes.. they were taking turns because it now seemed as though they were playing together. And that was perfectly fine with the Ravenclaw.
Ethan set the blue ball down again and stood sideways next to it. He practiced the swing a few times with the putter. Just the right touch was needed apparently. He took a swing at what he thought was the appropriate force and watched as the ball went rolling. It gently hit DJ's ball sending it forward just a bit.
"Oops, sorry.." he said to the younger boy. That wasn't supposed to happen, was it?
