Well, look at that. He got a green scarf from Ella, which Ethan is now wearing like a turban because he’s got at least two scarves wrapped around his neck now, and a book entitled “Muggle Football for Witches and Wizards” plus a small football ball from Alec! The Slytherin guessed that news about Quidditch being suspended in Hogwarts reached his friends, and instead gave him something else to keep himself occupied.

But how in Merlin’s spiked shoes does this Football sport work?

It was a good thing that the book Alec gave was a magical one, meaning the pictures were moving, so it was easier for the third year to follow. Well. He’ll go for the basics, no?

Juggling. Yes. It looked easy. But before he could do it, he was already having trouble getting the ball on top of his foot, instead, the ball would roll around the place and one Ethan Mordaunt had to chase after it. “This would be easier if I don’t have my snowboard gear on.” Well, he can’t get his thick jacket, pants, and boots now because it’s too cold in the dungeons, no? And so the jugglingkicking continued. Ethan had his eyes on the ball all the time and didn’t realize that he was already outside the corridor.

“Merlin this is hard!” Ethan, growing impatient had the ball on top of his foot and lifted it too hard causing the ball to smack his face.

THUNK!

“Yeeeeoooooooowwwwwcccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
