Chasing after the ball Iris tried that ...dribbling thing that the Professor had assigned them. It was rather clumsy, and not nearly as effective as picking up the ball and walking, but she could see the merit and exercise in it. Stopping a good distance from the target she slowly lined up the ball. Her aim was normally impeccable, but this muggle sport was hard! Studying the target from different angles she decided to treat it as though she were shooting an arrow...with her foot. She felt silly but it was all she could relate it to. Breathing quietly she centered herself. All the noises around her disappeared as her pale eyes focused. The target was her sole destination. Repeating her prior steps she kicked the ball with such force that it made a loud cracking noise as it hit the target and rocketed back towards her. Luckily it lost momentum before reaching her or she may have knocked herself unconscious with this obviously dangerous ball.
