The fifteen year old noticed the mime first, who made her giggle as he mimicked the boy and acted as if he were playing the game. Or was he demonstrating? She wasn't quite sure, but she found him mildly amusing. And, oh! She did know that boy, or at least who he was. Dorian was in her house and in her year, though she wasn't sure they ever had a conversation.
Viviana stepped over to the balloon game on the other side of Dorian and turned her eyes up towards the oversized stuffed unicorns and hippogriffs. "Are you going to play?" she asked the boy, hoping that she could watch so she could figure out how to win something for herself.

Oh, and who was this little miss? Was she the young sir's girlfriend? Enzo folded his hands to the side of his chin and twirled around them in delight. Of course the boy must win a prize for her! He gestured towards the darts lying on the ledge of the booth - one! two! three! Three darts for the big prize.
And speaking of big prizes. Enzo got out his invisible "lasso", mimed circling it around his head, and "lassoed" the biggest stuffed unicorn at the top of the game's booth. He pulled, and pulled, and pulled.... but it was just so heavy!
With the very unhelpful help of the mime, Dorian had figured out the point of the game himself by observing a nearby kid and picked up one of the darts when a girl next to him spoke up
Turning his head sideways, Dorian tried to remember where he had seen her before when it clicked. She was his Housemate and even in the same year as he was but because they didn't hang out together it had taken him some time. Not to mention that he had been getting used to them wearing their school uniforms, especially last term when it had been mandatory to wear them at all time.
"I guess i am" He said and got ready to throw the dart when the mime distracted him by circling around them for whatever reason.
"What's he doing??" he half whispered to Viviana and then watched as the mime pretended to lasso one of the stuffed animals.
......was he trying to hint he should win one of those for Viviana? He could dig with that. Clearing his throat, the fifth year rolled up his sleeve so that he could move his arm easier and then threw the dart at one of the balloons and....missed.
. . . .
"For real?" he blinked for a couple of seconds before he let out a light laugh, not even trying to hide or come up with an excuse for his fail and picked up another dart and held it up for her.
"Want to try?"
