...... he stayed silent.
Maybe running around and screaming at the beginning of the lesson was a good idea. Huh.
Shaking his head, he tuned back into the lesson just in time for Trent to..... give him a ball? Confused, he looked down at the ball in his hand, maybe even spinning it around to look at it properly, before looking up again. So..... dodgeball? That didn't sound too bad. It was a sport, yes, but it didn't require a lot of the normal sport things he didn't like so much.
But the worst part? He had to throw this at someone, and that meant that he needed a partner.
UH.
Biting his lip, he looked around to see if anyone needed a partner. Was he going to call out for a partner? No. But he also didn't want to be the last one left without a partner, a choice that was leaving him on the edge. Maybe he should ask Trent if he wanted to partner up?
...... Wait, no, what was he thinking?? How SAD would that be? No no. No no n-
"RYLEE!!"
...........
"Uh, I mean," He shuffled as quickly as he could over to the older Gryffindor. "Hey! Guess what, I have a ball. Do you want to partner up?" Please say yes. He REALLY didn't want to be the lame kid who had to partner with the professor.
Rylee was wondering if everyone had already found a partner when there was a rather loud call of her name. Spinning around quickly or well... as quickly as one could on a padded floor her eyes fell upon the someone. Lucas. Her little lion buddy!
Smiling brightly at him she nodded.
"Of course! Let's move over there where we won't be in anyone's way and we can give this a try," she suggested laying a gentle hand on the younger boys shoulder and guiding him over to a clear spot.
"Okay, I'll go right over there," she pointed a bit away from him,
"and get my blindfold on then we can get started." With that said she made her way to a spot directly across from him.
Fixing the blindfold securely around her head and covering her eyes, she bounced on her feet a few times and hopped from side to side, making sure it would stay in place.
"I'm all ready, Lucas! Remember to let me know where it is you're throwing the ball the first time!" she called out to him once she was all ready.
