Brant watched as his Partners Sabel and Kellen went and paired up with the girls "Aww Man, what am I suppost to do now." Brant thought. He started searching, moving around the students while looking for an uneven group.

Concentrating on the ball Allison forgot about everything and everyone else. She kicked off her shoes and stood feet apart. The ball approached her and she gave it a wicked grin. Oh she'd get it this time, or so she told herself. She needed nothing more but her wand.

Thinking she could slow down its process by a spell she had read, Allison pointed her wand at the ball and decided against it. Perhaps she would explode the ball and that wouldn't make anyone happy. Before she could putt away her wand, the ball hit her toe and she jumped in pain. Her other foot touched the soccer ball slightly making Allison trip and fall. Although her fortune was a hurt toe and a hard fall, the ball went right through Arya's legs and straight into Emily's kick range.

Sabel caught movement out of the corner of his eye and his head wipped around. There was Brant!

He glanced back at the two new girls Kellen and him had partnered up with and gave Brant an apologetic look. One that also said; 'If you can't find a group come back and we'll fit you in.' Teams wouldn't be even, but they could work it.

Arya looked confused as Allison took off her shoes. She was about to tell her to put them back on when the girl pointed her wand at the ball. "Allie you can't use your wand...or play witho-"She stoped speaking when Allison put her wand away and kicked the ball with her bare foot, injuring herself. Arya ran over to Allison as she triped from trying to kick the ball with her other foot. Kneeling beside her friend, her face was covered with concern. "Allie are you okay? Why did you take off your shoes? Your not supose to take your shoes off in soccer....though I guess you figures out why. And why did you pull out your wand? What where you thinking?" Arya couldn't help rambling, she was truely worried about her friend and confused at the same time.

Mrroaaaww? Livvy blinked and scratched her head as she wondered whether or not their group could work out. Seven people. That... didn't... seem... to work. She wasn't even sure if they wanted her in their group. But oh wellz. They'd just have to deal with her. PREFECT POWA!!! They were all in a neat lil' group.

And then. Someone. A person. A looonnne ranger. A looonnnee wolf. "Hiya! Are you looking for a partner or a group. I don't know if I'm part of their group, but you could join us if you want to," she said, smiling, nodding her head.

Mina smiled as she was introduced to the older students. The boys did look familiar but it was nice to match a name with a face finally. Gryffindor and not bad She had to smile at that. "Well, most Gryffindors I know aren't that bad at all. Two of my bestest friends are in that house." she explained. "I'm kind of a Lion supporter as is anyway." she added with a laugh. Well it was true after all, she did have a soft spot for certain people in that house. "To be completely honest, I haven't played football at all, but I've seen it played before." There really wasn't any point in sugar coating how inexperienced she was.

"I would love to be your partner." Brant said to the Prefect, finally a partner.!

Sabel jabbed his finger lightly in Kellen's ribs. "See? Just because not a heck of a lot goes around in our house doesn't mean we're completely uninteresting."

He turned his smile back to Mina and gave a one shouldered shrug. "That's alright; Stern and I here have yet to hit one of those targets. I tripped. He missed."

Yes, they made the perfect team. The two stouges, seeing as how Chaucer or Damien weren't around.

Allison gave Arya a watery grin and sat up, "It just seemed to make sense at the time. You know. Take off shoes since I'm brought the wrong ones. And then I remembered what I read in the charms book. I thought I could charm the ball to go in slow motion. Like in muggle movies! Turned out I also remembered that when I first tried it out on a ball of gauze it exploded." Wincing she moved her toe around, "I'm okay. Yeah I'm okay. LET'S DO THIS!" Allison yelled with more than necessary spirit.

YES! Score!

Smiling, Livvy held out her hand for the boy to shake. Hooray for introductions. "I'm Olivia Zhang. But people call me Livvy," she said, happily. Sooooo... what were they supposed to do. She looked over at Miles and the group, expectedly. Even though SHE was Head Girl, it wasn't necessary for her to know everything, right?

"Oh" Brant said while taking her hand. "Im Brant DeVaice, but people call me Brant ahahah" Brant laughed

Wuaaahhh?
Cela looked down in confusion as a foot appeared and kicked at the ball. She jumped over it and turned around.

What was Barry doing? She smiled at him and then took off after the ball again.

Kellen grabbed Sabel's finger and gave it a playful twist, "I hit it once, Dakest, come on now. Of course, that time I wasn't trying to..." he looked back at Mina and Dal with a grin, "Then again, that's why Lawson gave us shields, right?"

He hadn't been expecting the twist and so he did what he did best. Made a fool out of himself. He hopped around in a small circle as he tried to pry his finger out of Kellen's grip. "Okay okay. One hit. I won't forget." He paused, giving the girls a wink. "Don't mess with this one, he's a real hot-shot."

Emily looked at Allie with worry. "Umm, oo..kay, if your sure." She kicked the ball toward Allison again, slowly, hoping she wouldn't get hurt this time.

Mina shook her head and laughed softly to herself, these boys were funny. "Well, I did get very close to a target. It went in the right direction at least, so that should count for something." she shrugged. Football was not a sport she had any intention of learning but she would try for the sake of the lesson.

Yes, Professor Lawson did give them a shield. She wasn't at all fond of the idea of her own blood being shed this year. "If it means anything, I don't find Gryffindor uninteresting at all. Most of you are very entertain as I see it." she smiled as she picked up the ball and attempted to dribble it.

"Oh good, so we're all new at this!" Kellen glanced at Sabel, finally releasing his finger, "Except you. Three against one?"

Kellen raised an eyebrow, "Erm, are you allowed to touch the football with your hands? I thought you're supposed to kick it?"

He was oogly eyed at the dribbling. Feet. Not hands. FEET! He wanted to shout it out. Unless you were a goalie, touching the soccer ball with your hands was a big no-no.

But he was distracted by the way Kellen decided to break up their teams and he blinked at the boy. "Wait. What? Hold on. Is that fair?" His blinks turned into a grin. "Oooh I see. You're going to take us all on. Sounds good to me."

His eyes flicked back to Mina, wondering if she was just bored, was a fan of basketball or didn't know that handling the ball was against the normal rules. Then again, Kellen and himself, along with many others he had met didn't exactly apply to the definition of normal.

Mina held the ball in her hands and dropped it on her knee. It bounced a bit before returning to the ground. "Yeah, you are supposed to kick it, but I've seen people try to dribble it on their knees and leg." she said with a shrug of her should. She had always wanted to try it, at least once. Her attempt was pretty much an epic fail, but she could now say she tried it.

"Three against one?" she asked. That wasn't hardly really fair but being that she didn't really know anything of the sport, maybe three against one wasn't as unfair as it sounded.

Watching as Georgie intercepted the ball that was intended for Evan, Marie suddenly felt aweful. If it wasn't for her talking to him he would have gotten the ball. Looking over at Evan she said "Sorry" before looking to see where the ball was.

She watched as Georgiana passed it to Jacob, who passed it back to her, well actually made it fly through the air. When Georgiana tried passing it back to Jacob, Marie was ready to intercept it this time. As the ball went past Jacob, Marie ran after it and got it herself. Dribbling it back towards Evan she passes it to him once she gets within five feet of him. Watching as the ball is going straight for his foot she knows that Evan will get this one.

After so many tries at kicking the ball back Allison didn't think about it and kicked back to Emily. With the kicking foot wearing a shoe, and the injured one limping Allison's smile bloomed enough to shower the entire room with light.

"Did you see that Arya? Did you? No wand!" Between all of us though, the kick she gave the ball was poor luck.

Eh, while she waited for someone to do something, she scooted the soccer ball towards herself, not really knowing what to do with it. She had seen the muggles run around kicking it, bumping into each other and tripping one another, including elbows to the face and sides. It didn't seem like a fun sport. In fact, it seemed as dangerous as quidditch was, except this sport made you stay on the ground. How boring is that...

With one quick movement, she balanced the ball on her foot an inch off the ground for her own amusement. How much longer was this class? Something about thirty minutes? Or was it forty minutes...

Kellen poked Sabel on the tip of his nose, "I meant you, Mr. Soccer." He lifted his own nose into the air and pompously declared, "If you three were to take me on, I can guarantee that there would be no competition whatsoever."

His face broke into a grin and he jabbed a thumb at the ground, "You'd trounce me."

"I saw! Your getting better, I told you that you could do it!"She beamed at her friend, happy at how far she had come in so little a time. Now she had to concentrate on stealing the ball from them.

Professor Lawson moved back to the front of the field, "ALRIGHT EVERYONE YOUR THIRTY MINUTES IS UP" he called out and then flicked his wand at the board, "Your homework is on the board, be sure to write it down."

"That is all for today. For those of you who wish to stay and keep playing then by all means you may stay. Also Miss Arya Lovegoods could you come and see me please."
