'You must come from a large family then. That's amazing.' At least for Ari, who was an only child, raised by a single parent. 'Do you get on well with your siblings? Are all of them wizards?' She couldn't help it. Ari was always curious about big families.
'So who gets the least number of points actually wins?' Counter-intuitive much? Ariadne really didn't get this rule. But it was made a bit clearer when Sarah needed 5 moves to get the ball in the hole. Still, her younger housemate seemed quite skilful. 'Well done!' the fifth year praised her.
Oh dearie. Her turn now. Mmmmkay...'Don't laugh.' Ari said whilst setting the ball on the tee and getting ready to hit it. Completely clueless, she had used all her might to hit the small ball and it took off with considerable speed, eventually landing outside the golf course! 'How much do I get for THAT?' Ari had told Sarah not to laugh, but she herself burst into laughter after her unfortunate shot.
Sarah loved talking about her sibling.
"yeah, i have seven brothers... Both my parents attended Hogwarts. All my siblings are wizards. I get on them well, with the occasional sibling rivalry, yet we haven fought in a while. Yet when we fight it is normal fights... the things siblings fight over". Like the time her brother gave her a dead arm after she woke him up in the morning oh-si-cheerfully.
"Yeah, that is the way it works..." Sarah laughed off the praise,
"that was shocking, if I would have needed one more shot I would of had to forfit!"
She watched intently as Ari swung her bat... a bit too strong and the gof ball landed a bit too far. "
accio golf ball" said Sarah using the summoning charm. When she played putt-putt with her brothers' her ball often landed in the water... or far away and they had to run and go fetch it.
"Never mind! It was your first time. It is much easier when you put less strength into it." What to do next.
"That goes for one, and you have to start from the beginning... Now try again" Sarah said.
