Hmm...he was not really good at this was he?



Lawsguini? What happened to Lawsonator? He liked that name so much better. Looking Evelyn straight in the eye, Marcus lent forward slightly and spoke in a low voice so that only she and Destiny would hear. "Well to be honest I wasn't liking it very much but then I got to come over here and talk to you two and well now my day is just so much brighter."

Was that sarcasm?

Surely not from the good Professor.



"Aww poor little Destiny, she doesn't want to get up because she's too busy having a sulk." Marcus let out a small chuckle as he knelt down beside the young Slytherin. "If you don't get back up I will put you in the goal keepers position and tell the rest of the class it's goal kicking practice." He gave her a wink as he straightened back up and held out his hand to her.

Oh she wouldn't take it but it can't be said that he didn't offer.


Marcus turned back towards the rest of the students, "Okay I want you all back into your groups or you may make new ones. What I want you to do is two on two. By that I mean two players dribble the ball and pass it to your partner and the other two try to steal the ball only using your feet."

Okay this was probably not the best idea in the world but this was how you played soccer. Marcus rubbed the back of his neck for a moment, thinking about how to make sure there were no more injuries.

With a small smile, he moved around the room casting shields over each of the students. "Alright you have 30 minutes left to practice and I have shielded each of you against injuries. So there will be no excuses of getting out of class and going to the hospital wing." Marcus threw Evelyn and Destiny a small smirk. He would have to keep an eye on the time because the shields would only last for half an hour.

Her first instinct was to put her hands up and block it from hitting her, but she remembered the no hands rule. Backing up a little she thought she would just let the ball fall then kick it. That didn't happen though, the ball bounced off her chest before she could get out of the way of it. "Hey, what was that? I thought we were doing the easy stuff now?" She said with a little grin as she rubbed her chest where the ball hit.

"Let's go practice with the targets" Marie said as she grabbed Evan's arm. "I don't think I want you to hit me with a ball again" she said as she rubbed her chest again. Realizing that she was holding onto Evsn's arm she quickly let go and looked down hopimg he didn't see her blush, again.

And even if he did, there was already so much grass and dirt on his clothes no one outside of the group would know.

He couldn't help but notice the shocking color of her hair. How had he missed that before? The green grass stood out against the purple like the black stood out against the white of the soccer ball.

Using the inside of his foot, Tobias sort of shoved the ball at Satine, so she could have another shot at it.

Lawsguini was definitely out to get her. Target practice? 'You wouldn't dare.' That would be another student to the Healer and that would look bad on him. Three students in one class? He would be working in the kitchens for sure. Destiny didn't want to take any chances, so she stood up, not taking his hand of course. He probably knew she wouldn't and that's why he offered. He was a sneaky man.

Brushing the grass and Lawson germs off her clothes, Destiny half-listened to what the professor was saying. Something about stealing feet..that was weird. How were they supposed to steal feet when they had a shield around them? And why did he smirk at them? That smirk was creepy too. Lawson was just an all around creepy person. 'Let's just do this,' she told Evelyn, 'so he will stop smirking at me.'

Chest control, and then shoot again. But of course she didn't go to Liverpool's children team. Not that they taught you much, but the coach there had considered him to be a real talent. If only his magic hadn't got in the way...

He jumped a little as the sound of a whistle, and then watched Professor Lawson and Joshua with pleasure. Now, the man had doubled his amount of coolness and place in Evan's eyes which was already so high with this class. He was absolutely the best teacher the blondie had ever seen, and he had seen many. He looked in amazement at the man for a second with a disbelieving and amused smile, until Marie spoke again. Eyes still on Lawson, he nodded dreamily. That aount of deduction would have been higher if Lawson had heard the words Joshua used for him. Whatever though, no need to be greedy. Five points were enough to deduct. Tehee. And stupid The Devil Josh would get a detention as well. Served Evan perfect.

An odd pain stuck in his stomach when Marie held his arm. He let her drag him to the targets which he hadn't realised before. He frowned at her words. "Did it hurt?" Aww... and he thought he had hit softly. "I'm sorry." he said, then eyed the targets, totally oblivious to her blush. Huh. So easy to shoot. Benefits of being an attacking midfield who was usually supposed to have a high attribute of free-kicks.

She looked between Allison and Emily wondering how they were gonna play the game with Allison not being to good. Obviously she couldn't be the person in the middle. She started to juggle the ball with her feet. "Ok so I can be the person in the middle and you two can be the passers. And we can start slow."She caught the ball in the air and looked back to the girls. Wondering if they would go for it.

I thought I had backed up enough for the ball to land in front of me, not on me." Still smiling at him she hopes he believes her. Even though it did hurt just a little she didn't want him to feel bad. After all it was a game and if she was going to learn to play she would have to take the bumps anf bruises that go with it.

Placing the ball in front of herself she kicks it toward the target. She watched it go straight for the target and make a direct hit. "Hey, I did it!" Of course it was easy to kick from a standing postion, it was the running and kicking she needed to work on. For now she would be happy with this. "Your turn now, try not to hurt the target too bad" she said with a giggle as she handed him the ball.

His smirk got widened as he wished them 'a safe game', obviously most of the students here were not tough enough to play this game, before continue dribbling the ball back at Evan and Marie

Kay said looking at Brody, who she knew from Quidditch.

Sooooo she did. She ran around kicking at the ball like a lunatic, actually finding it wasn't as hard as she thought.

She'd kind of lost her group? Oh well.

"But not its two verses two. One team has to keep possesion of the ball for as long as.." Barry explained to the second year. Then he looked to Brody and Cela. He whispered to Kay "Me, you verses Cela and Brody" Then he went to try and tackle the ball off Cela


Well at least Cela was oblivious to Barry so he could sneak up on her from behind.

But he had to run, Cela was fast and Barry didn`t have alot of stamina. Barry, out of breath managed to catch up and tried to kick the ball to Kay through Cela`s legs

He had seen her rub her chest a few times, and that meant it did hurt even though for a second or so, just it wasn't that much. That was a relief. Teachers didn't injure their students, did they? And he'd be even more cautious now.

Watching Marie's shoot, he smiled encouragingly. She aimed pretty good. He high-fived him. "It was perfect!" he said brightly. She'd really make a good player if she trained every day.

Now, his turn. He placed the ball carefully. Just like in football matches, he took a few steps back to run well. He looked up at the red point where they wee supposed to hit. Narrowing his eyes, he did his calculations, and with a deeo breath, he began his running, kicking the ball strongly. It hit the red spot, and bounced back near him again. He smiled at Marie happily. Yep, he hadn't forgotten anything in the week he couldn't find a chance to practise.

"Now that was perfect" she said as the ball bounced back to them. She was just about to give him a hug when she heard Lawson talking so she stepped back. 'Whoa, that was close, I almost did something that surely would have embarrased me.' she thought.

"Sounds like we have to find partners to work with us now." she said quickly trying not to show her embarrasment at what she almost did. Looking around the room she has no idea who to ask. "So who do you think we should pair up with?"

She sat there and snickered as Evelyn talked to Lawson. Ha! And she even used the new name. He liked Lawsonator too much, so they would not be using that name on him. This might cause them to get detention..again.

Oh, right. He should have listen carefully. His mouth dropped open. Two on two? OhmiGoshthiswasawesomeeeee!!! He could hardly refrain from bouncing. Some sort of a match, that meant. He early looked around for a partner, just when a boy walked up to them.

"Yep." he answered happily. Wow, boy didn't play bad at all. Wonder what he could do when Evan tackled him. The blondie looked around for someone else to actually play two on two. If the next person was a good one too, they would have much fun.

This lesson and Prof. Lawson totally ruled.

He looked up to see girl, "Umm I just joined the group, But I think we're short one." He eyed his two new partners. "Me and you could go against them - if that's cool with everyone?" He kicked the abll softly to the girl, "I'm Jacob"

"We both are from Slytherin." he said as he indicated Marie, but then shook his head. He'd never seen this guy. He turned to he girl with his question.

Georgiana. A name Evan had never heard before. He gave a small smile. He frowned. What other girl? Weren't they just him, Jacob, Marie and her? Had he missed someone while watching Jacob? Shrugging, he said "I'm OK with the line-ups." Turning to Marie, he gave an expectant and asking look. Surely she was with him again, no?
