Even though Pierre was bored with the class, he wasn't going to leave. That would mean that he couldn't get the homework, which meant he wouldn't get the points necessary.
Pierre listened to the next question. It took all of his strength not roll his eyes this time. He decided not to answer the question and to let everyone else participate.
"Mmmhmm, thought you might." Lawson gave the Slytherin a small smirk as he wondered off around the field. He would have to remember to keep his eye on that one.

Raising his hand warily, Jake still refused to look at Lawson. "To... kkkkick it?"
Well it made sense... foot... ball...
Now that soccer business sounded violent. Which reminded him... there was one thing he reeeeeally didn't get. "Wh-wha's the ddddifference 'tween fffootball an' sssoccer?"
They had to be different? Why else have different names?
"There is no difference Jake but some countries chose to call it soccer so that they wouldn't confuse it with other football games. Such as in America there is the NFL and in countries like Australia, New Zealand, some of the islands and parts of Europe have have football games called Rugby League and Rugby Union." Lawson gave Jake a wink as he walked passed him.

skirt and tucked her feet underneath herself.
Sneakers were comfy.
"What happens when nobody makes a goal?" Celandine asked curiously, hand up. Obviously with Quidditch the game just kept on going.
"When the game is over and if nobody has scored then it is called a 'draw.' It's not like Quidditch where the game continues until the snitch is caught. In soccer/football they have an allotted time for the match."
Lawson continued to walk amongst the students as he spoke, "Now I have awarded you all one point for your answers. Now as I stated there are more rules in the game of soccer but I'll think I'll leave that for your homework." Because Marcus of course would rather get into the fun parts but first...
"So when did the first game of soccer/football come about?"
