Gold grinned at Lori, and tucked a bright red bang behind her ear. That was ... kind of her signature action, now. She had been doing it so much lately, she wouldn't be surprised if people could identify her for it.
"The-girl-who-tucks-the-red-bang-behind-her-ear" -- yeah, the point where they called her that, it wasn't far away.
She tapped her simple-styled, red heel on the ground, and waited for the Slytherin to reply.
Smiling widely at her best friend, Lori nodded down at her shoes. Gold was wearing HEELS? And there was Lori in stupid converse. "I havent seen you since... AGEEES." She giggled.
Man, they had to catch up. About Adam.

Which it did, but not before bumping hard against Kiri's exposed ankle; she wasn't wearing any socks. She hissed in surprise and pain. Apparently this was more complicated than it looked - which was yet another surprise for Kiri because none of the football players she'd ever seen seemed able to command more than a few braincells at the same time. Next time, Kiri decided, she was going to stop it with the sole of her foot.
Preparing another kick - and wondering what else they could do now that they'd managed a few successful passes back and forth - Kiri noticed a third girl hovering nearby. She looked as if she was about to jump in and join them... And Kiri was right, she was. Apparently she and Lorelai knew each other?
"Gold? Precious name," said Kiri with a bright smile, unable to stop herself. "I'm Kiri. Erm... what should we do next? More passes? We could stand in a triangle... Or something else?" She rolled the ball around with her foot indecisively. "This isn't really that interesting, I think."
Lorelai grinned a little bit as her kick landed NEAR ENOUGH with Kiri. She was getting GOOOOD at this. Good, better, good. It was nice being good at stuff. And football was probably the only thing she wasnt good at. Sigh, now to conquor that. And stick her tongue out at the stupid sport. And to get Annie playing it in heels.
Right, so Gold and Kiri were now accquainted. Which was fun. Clapping her hands a little Lori turned to look at her best friend, because in her opinion..
This was NOT fun.

Precious name? But of course. It was, after all, the name of a rather expensive metal. Though Gold would have liked it, even if it had not been. She rather liked her name, you know.
"Thanks," she said, politely. "Pleasure to meet you, Kiri... and triangle sounds alright," she went on, as she shifted a bit more to the right. "That way, you can pass the ball to Lori, and she can pass it on me -- and then I can pass it back to you," she added, with a grin.
After turning to her best friend, she only had to wait a few seconds for Gold to answer Kiri, and she frowned a bit at her reply. "Hows about, you two pass. I sit down and re-do my nails? EH?" She grinned at the pair of them, and then spread her fingers at an attempt to show them both the chipped pink nail varnish.
"Fiiiiine." Just standing there, she knew what Gold was going to say to her option and she gave in. "If I hurt you Gold, I cannot be held responsible."

Gold's new position made for a nice triangle, about two or three metres from side to side. They could easily step back further and make it even larger, but then people would likely flood into the free area to play - the classroom was quite crowded - and one of them was apt to lose the ball with a badly aimed pass.
Professor Lawson wandered back and forth between the groups. And once he saw Jake, he would probably stop the class from playing football, either until Jake had left for the Hospital Wing or completely. He might have something else planned for the rest of the lesson.
"Alright, let's continue then. Watch out, Lorelai!" Kiri transferred the ball from her left foot to her right and kicked it in the direction of the Hufflepuff.
Lorelai nodded once, and physically (and mentally) prepared herself for this 'save'. MEHHH. With her foot out, the inside of it ready, as Kiri's had done, she waited. Her eyes however were about half open and she was squealing inside.
This ball was going to HURT.
-
Or not. Grinning as it came to a stop at her foot. She chuckled and nodded. Before passing it in Gold's direction.
