Text Cut: music to my ears

Grinning at his laughter even after he was launched down the lanes, Sophie watched with anticipation... and... four. Eh. FOUR. She SHOOK HER FIST at the two pins that remained standing, cursing them mentally, but straightened up and got her act together as Zander came rolling back. She tried to put on a cheery disposition for him so he wouldn't see that she was disappointed in herself - she should've done WAY BETTER than that, y'know? - and unzipped the ball, offering a hand to help him out, then ended up pulling him in for a hug. Partly to stabilize him from potential dizziness, but mostly because she felt dumb for not getting a strike for him.

She detached from him as they waited for their next turn, not wanting Moxley to scold them for PDA from hugging, and offered to him quietly, "Think we're at... nineteen now? This is our last go. S'not a bad average, s'like..." nineteen divided by four, "just short of a five-pin average. D'you think that's 'nuff to win?" She didn't know. They were facing a lot of really good-looking pairings, and some of them were doing just as well if not better than them. What if they LOST? What if two seventh years who were supposed to be good role models lost to, like... first years?

The pressure of the badge was getting to Sophie Brown's head, but at least this roll was out of her hands. She just got to be in the ball and hope for the best.

When it was their turn again, Soph gave Zander an encouraging smile and climbed into the ball, got herself situated, and gave him her customary thumbs-up to let him know she was ready when he was.

They had this.

Kind of like how this ball was starting to turn and turn and turn and HE WAS GOING, GOING, GONE! Before he knew it he was flying towards the pins. And believe it or not, he wasn't going to fall all over the place this time because he decided to lay across the ball. May not be very good for keeping his head in check, but now at least he wouldn't look like such a mess as he rolled. See? He knew how to strategically look like less of a fool. AND BOOOOOOOOOM. Down went..... FOUR pins. AY. Not bad. They were doing really well. Probably had something to do with the fact that EVERY single Professor here decided that practicing aim was always a key point for a class activity. So between the two of them, there was a LOT of practice for this kind of thing. And as he rebounded towards Sophie, he had the biggest grin on his face. THEY WERE ALMOST THERE. ALMOST AT FIVE ROLLS! THEY COULD DO THIS!!! Grinning at his laughter even after he was launched down the lanes, Sophie watched with anticipation... and... four. Eh. FOUR.
