Default Children’s Gobstones Lessons in the Daycare (age 7-11)
Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent



Did you sign up your child, aged seven to eleven, to take place in the Ministry’s Gobstones lessons? Then you’ve come to the right place! Make sure you sign your child in, then feel free to drop them off where they will be in the capable hands of Ministry workers and some of the top professional Gobstones players.

Children will learn basic to intermediate game-playing and strategies, having plenty of time to practice different aspects of the game. Once they understand some of the basics, they will get the opportunity to play with the pros on a fun and age-appropriate obstacle course.

SPOILER!!: Obstacle Course


The object of the game is to get the most gobstones out of the ring using your shooter gobstone. But there is a twist. Unbeknownst to you, some of the gobstones might have a surprise, instead of spitting goo at the opponent. When the green ones are hit, out fly a tiny flock of paper birds. And when the yellow ones are hit, they spit out a substance at the opponent that makes them sprout a very temporary beard and mustache. There are also two sticky spots on the course that can make the gobstones stick to it before taking another turn to get them loose. There are several obstacle courses here so that all of the children can play.


Participating Children
  • Brody McCarthy, 7
  • Matthew Meriwether, 8
  • Daniel Walker, 8
  • Cornelius Baltazar, 9
  • Kirk Forsfelle, 9
  • Ava Burton, 10
  • Teddy Burton, 10
  • Benton Primeaux, 10
  • Henry Whittebrook, 11

Participating Professionals
  • Saxon Kildare - Gobstones Division Manager
  • Lynnia Park - Galloway Ghouls
  • Brynja Dalgaard - Tinworth Talons
  • Geffrey Forsfelle - Barnton Basilisks
  • Athena Carmichael - Daycare Supervisor

Matthew thought this was a great little event that the Ministry had come up with. And, as the owner of the Tinworth Talons, of course his son would be attending. In fact, he was rather proud that three players on his team would be participating in promoting the game to the youngest members of the community. He thought that said a lot about their integrity.

Heading into the daycare with his 11 year old by his side, Matthew filled out the sign in sheet and took a look around. No one here yet, but maybe he was just so excited about it that he had gotten here early. He smiled down at his son, giving him a playful nudge. "Going to show them what you got?"


Henry was a little on the fence about these Gobstones lessons. On one hand, he was pretty excited because he loved Gobstones and was really awesome at it. He might even be as good as some of the players there! But on the other hand, it was being held at a daycare and he would probably be surrounded by babies. How would that be fun? But in the end, he decided it would be fun and he knew his dad really wanted him to go, so here he was.

Henry looked around once they got inside. Of course he was the only kid his age there, but maybe other kids his age would be coming. He hoped anyway. Oh, there was a gobstone game set up already. He started walking towards it when he heard his dad's question. "Sure am!" he grinned, glancing back at him.

Saxon was a bit nervous about the gobstones lessons. She knew she'd be working with young ones today, but that didn't take away the edge. She'd be helping them out, talking to them, and giving them a fun time, hopefully if they were having fun and not being party poopers or anything, so at the very least there was that.

By the time she walked into the daycare center she saw a father and a soon already waiting there. The blonde gave the pair a small smile. "Hello, I'm Saxon, I'm the gobstones manager. We'll be starting shortly, I'm just waiting on the rest of the children, if you wish you can go now and he'll be in safe hands." She said pointing at the boy. Let's hope he wouldn't be a tricky one. She glanced around the center and made sure that everything they had and needed was there. And it seemed so!

GOBSTONES!

Well, gobstones wasn't as fun as quidditch or exploding snap. But still, the 10-year-old girl was still excited for this. Her mother then signed her and Teddy up for the gobstones lesson at ministry. Dunno if her twin brother was also excited as her. Well, he had to be. Teddy loved this game.

Her mother dropped Ava and her twin brother off at the ministry daycare today. Merlin, this was the first time she entered the Ministry of Magic place and it's soooo HUGE. Maybe she could work here someday, maybe.... And now they already arrived at daycare. It seemed like she and Teddy were the oldest because mostly the kids around here were around 4-9 years old. Oh look, there's a kid who seemed like he's on her age. "Hello, I'm Ava." She introduced herself to that kid (Henry). "Are you excited for this lesson?"

"THIS IS SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOL!" Brody yelled and he ran over to his age group...with help from his mum of course. He was ready to get his gobstones on! How does one play it? Brody just wanted to be signed up because he had watched Gobstones ones day and he was hoping a player from his favorite team, the Galloway Ghouls would be there. Brody ran around with his hands in the air. "ARE THERE ANY GALLOWAY GHOULS PLAYERS HERE?!!!!!!!!!" he yelled out still running around with his hands in the air.

Lynnia hadn't been feeling all that great the last few days, but because of a certain healer coming over to her place she was feeling much better and was fully ready to work with the children of the community today. She was quite excited to get to be part of this. It hadn't even been a thought until she got there, but she should have brought her niece. She could have had fun playing while Lynnia was working with the children.

As she made her way towards the group she gave a smile, "Hello, I'm Lynnia Park. I'm working with the older children's group today." She was hoping she was in the correct spot, but since she was with the Gobstone Manger she figured she'd be directed to the right place if she wasn't. Hearing a little fan she smiled, "Well I am. Lynnia Park nice to meet you." It was always nice to meet fans.


Benton wasn't thrilled, he wasn't upset, but he wasn't thrilled. Gobstones wasn't has cool as Quidditch, but his mother felt he should go and learn the game. So he was here and once his mom dropped him off he headed towards the group. Looking around he didn't see many here, there would be more right?

"Hey Henry!" He did see his buddy though, that was cool. "Didn't know you would be here." He really hadn't asked if any of his friends would be here, but that was great he was. He saw the other two kids and gave them both little waves. Then he looked to the adults. One was saying she was from a team, but he really wasn't sure which one.

Geffrey could've been a little earlier, but he had a little distraction along the way which had long since been taken care of. It was a nice surprise to see that he would be helping out in the same age bracket his own son fell into. Win, win. Smiling at his son's enthusiasm, "It's straight ahead, go on and find a seat." He liked to take his own time with anything in the meantime.

As soon as Geff entered he could see they were on time before joining the group, "G'day. I'm Geffrey Forsfelle, here to help with the older children's group." He raised his head a little towards Lynnia, who was already greeting a fan. "Good to see you again, Lynn. Doing aright?"


Kirk wanted to be there FIRST. You know why? Because the earlier kids ALWAYS took the best seats and getting dibs on autographs. "Come on, dad!" He tried to tug on his arm to get him to move faster, with no luck, but he was given the okay to go on ahead.

With that Kirk ran down to see some of the other guys in the room. The more older ones, of course. "Hey, I'm Kirk." It was too bad his own friends weren't here, they were more into Quidditch. Kinda sad, but hey, more friends to have fun with.

Teddy walked in with his sister and mother, his hand clutched at the hem of her jacket. What? He didn't want to get lost. Once they were in the atrium, Teddy couldn't help but be amazed by everything. He looked around, eyes darting to catch a glimpse of everything. Of course he'd seen imaged from pamphlets and books, but it was so much better to be seeing the real thing.

Their mother stooped to give them a hug goodbye, and Teddy only vaguely registered the click clack of her shoes as she walked away. He was SO EXCITED. Gobstones was so much better than Quidditch. At least to play, anyway. He enjoyed watching Quidditch. Gobstones was something he could actually enjoy playing. There were a few adults around, and Teddy found himself gravitating towards them. He would just stand there and observe everyone talking, getting to know each other. If only his mother would have let him bring a book, he could have pulled it out for a few minutes until the adults got started.

"Okaaay, byebyebyebyebyebyebye." Matt waved off his mother because they were already there and he knew where to go now. Byyeee, mum, BYE!

But MERLIN, he couldn't belieeeve he had been dragged to Gobstones lessons! How laaaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaammeeeeeeee. People just tossing some tiny marbles around. HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE FUN??????

However, Matt managed to bring some FUN stuff of his OWN. Like his blaster, which was NEATLY HIDDEN under his robes. He wasn't sure if he was allowed to bring anything, so he wouldn't show it to anyone until... well, until he felt like playing with it. Out of booredoooooommmmmmm.

It was going to happen sooner than later, he KNEW it. BOORIIINGGG.

But HEYLOOK! OTHER KIDS! YES!

Whoa, that one kid was YELLING HIS HEAD OFF about Gobstone players. Reeeeally?? ...Weeeeeeirddddddd. But oh well, at least he was having fun (?????????). The 8 year-old approached another kid, who wasn't yelling their head off, but didn't look dull either (Teddy). He actually looked happy to be there! "HI, I'm Matt! Who are you?"

Teddy was watching as Adults and kids moved around the vicinity, chatting, yelling, getting to know each other.

And then there was someone there.

Oh, Merlin.

Teddy realised it was coming, the socialising bit. He was... 'nt ready, but he'd do it. This fellow gobstones player was Matt. "I'm Teddy," he said, introducing himself to Matt. "Um do... you... play gobstones at home?" Teddy asked, an improvised question. He hadn't prepared himself for getting to know other people without Ava being there to take most of the attention. No, it was a good challenge. After all, there was no guarantee he and Ava would be in the same house next year, and he'd have to make all his own friends. Or have none.

"Hi, Teddy, nice to meet you!" Matt grabbed the boy's hand and firmly shook it a few times before releasing it.

Waayyohhhhh, this kid seemed a bit slow, hahahaha. "Noo, I never played Gobstones ever. It seems so boring!!!" He gave the boy a funny look and continued, "I don't even know the rules. Is it fun? Can you throw marbles at other people? Not to hurt them, but y'know, just for fun!" Matt wasn't evil, alrighttttt. He was no Sith. No. He was nice, but until now Gobstones just sounded so BORING he HAD to come up with something entertaining. "Have you ever played Gobstones?"

Saxon watched as more kids started to mill in and some gobstones players had eventually arrived. She gave them all a smile and wave, hoping that they would feel welcomed by her friendly demeanor. The blonde checked her clipboard and saw that it seemed most of the children for her group were here so she felt it was ok to start. Those kids who were late, well, they wouldn't get in trouble or anything, they'd just have to catch up, but there was no need to rush them. The only people seemed to be missing at the moment was one more gobstones player and the daycare center employee, Saxon hoped they would be here soon enough.

She waited a few minutes letting the kids finish up their little chit chats. It seemed some of them were already getting along which was great news. Perhaps they'd be a good excited bunch who were more than happy to share the experience with the others.

"Hello children..." She'll call them children for now until she specifically knew all their names. "You should all be here because you, or your parent has signed you up for gobstones lessons. We have a few professionals here to assist us and hopefully make this a joyful and entertaining experience." So please be patient with them, gobstones people, if you weren't good with kids. A lot was riding on this. "We'll be starting with some basics and how to hold the gobstones and how to use them, then we'll go into some practice and lastly we'll have some real fun at the end." Huge smile and thumbs up. "You can grab some gobstones from here." She pointed at the small box standing a few feet from her, "My name is Saxon and I work as the gobstones manager here in the ministry."

"So, who would like to introduce yourself and teach the kids the basics?" Saxon asked looking at the professionals.



OOC: Hey guys, just a couple of things for you to know! Professional gobstones players and ministry employees will be taking turns in posting (somewhat like two professors teaching in one class). So if your charrie wants to teach a particular thing just jump on in and go for it! Don't be nervous or worried about being required to post in a particular order! (check your gobstones PM if you need reminders/or to see where we are in the lesson )

Don't be afraid of letting your kids interact with anyone in their group or the adults. If your child needs extra assistance then someone will try to get to them as soon as possible (unless they wish help from a particular person.)

There is at least two gobstones fields for the children to play on so they don't get too crowded as opposed to just having one for all nine children.

I hope this all made sense. If not please PM or DM (on Tag's twitter account please) me and I'll try to answer your questions. As well, you can go to Emjay (MJ). Above all else, remember to have fun with everything and have your kids interact with anyone they want!

So they were late. LOL.

Usually his dad was early everywhere he went. And that 'usually' always involved his mum reminding them about shirts and trousers so they wouldn't forget before leaving home, but that 'usually' was broken today 'cause Mum had something to tend to. Dad was left to fend for himself and his two youngest children. Although, Cornelius considered himself pretty independent. His baby sister, Mallory, she needed help. All she did was be cute.

As they arrived, Cornelius slapped his leg and tsk'ed up at his dad. "We are late. Ma's not going to be happy."


"Mum doesn't need to know--hold this--about this." Cornelius was handed a baby bottle as Xavier shifted baby Mallory in his arms. "Gimme, please." Now that he had that in order (baby and bottle), Xavier grinned widely at Cornelius. "Have fun. Don't fight. Remember, sharing is winning. And as always, kick butt." He eyed his child. "Not literally."

He didn't need any more educators telling him his only son had shoved someone else into a fountain. Even if the other little dumb nut deserved it. Cornelius needed to learn to back away.

Mallory was getting fussy again. Xavier bent down and kissed Cornelius' head. Yeah, be embarrassed, bud. "Have fun, love you."


WHY DID HE HAVE TO DO THAT?

Manly levels were at the negatives. Where was Rosie when he needed her? She'd thump his arm and make it all better. Or at least level up his manliness to a five. But he said 'I love you' back because he loves his daddy.

"I don't know how to play this," he announced, going over to pretty lady (Saxon) and looking up at her with his big, innocent green eyes. "Hi. I'm Cornelius Baltazar, would you please help me?"

DIBS! HE CALLED THEM.

Teddy smiled a genuine smile at Matt, and found his hand being shaken. He almost laughed, but not quite. "Nice to meet you too Matt," he said.

Wait, Matt thought Gobstones was boring? "Let me guess, your mother made you come?" He had been exactly like this when he was heading towards Quidditch camp. Not out of boredom, but fear. Teddy had been the one to beg his mother to take him to the gobstones club, with Ava if she wanted. When he heard about it, he knew he wanted to go. Unlike Quidditch Camp, where his mother had begged him to go. "It's so much fun! It takes real concentration to line up the moves and get the balls," he nodded. It was fun, SO much fun. Even by himself. And he shook his head "No... well, you can but it's not a rule.You might be disqualified if you did that." Should Teddy be concerned? Was he joking? How was it fun? Perhaps if it was just a light throw... "They're hard balls though, it might hurt. Unless you were trying to play catch or something, then it... might be fun."

Of course Teddy had played Gobstones before. His face became animated as he nodded, "Yes, I got a Gobstones set for my fifth birthday. It's just a simple one, I want to get one of the other sets," he explained. "So... what do you do in your free time if you don't play Gobstones?" Teddy asked. Was he a Quidditch fan like Ava? Did he read books? Go for hikes? Paint?

"So, who would like to introduce yourself and teach the kids the basics?" Saxon asked looking at the professionals.



OOC: Hey guys, just a couple of things for you to know! Professional gobstones players and ministry employees will be taking turns in posting (somewhat like two professors teaching in one class). So if your charrie wants to teach a particular thing just jump on in and go for it! Don't be nervous or worried about being required to post in a particular order! (check your gobstones PM if you need reminders/or to see where we are in the lesson )

Don't be afraid of letting your kids interact with anyone in their group or the adults. If your child needs extra assistance then someone will try to get to them as soon as possible (unless they wish help from a particular person.)

There is at least two gobstones fields for the children to play on so they don't get too crowded as opposed to just having one for all nine children.

I hope this all made sense. If not please PM or DM (on Tag's twitter account please) me and I'll try to answer your questions. As well, you can go to Emjay (MJ). Above all else, remember to have fun with everything and have your kids interact with anyone they want!


And then a grownup began to speak to them. Her name was Saxon. Teddy would remember that. He was good with names. He listened as Saxon explained what they would be doing that day, and Teddy got the nervous butterflies. The excited nervous ones, not the anxious nervous ones. His face even broke out into a smile. Teddy had mostly taught himself how to play Gobstones, though his father would help at times, so it would be interesting to learn the proper rules, rather than the ones Teddy had improvised with when he had been unsure. He was desperate to get onto the Quidditch Gobstones Team when he got there, in only a few months!

Brody's jaw dropped. It was her it really was her! "OMG!" He yelled out, he couldn't help it. This was amazing there were famous people around him! FAMOUS PEOPLE! He didn't want to meet the other players, only players that were on his favorite team. "Hiiii! I'm Brody! HIIII!!!" He smiled up at her.

As the children came into the room Lynnia stayed off to the side smiling at them. She did enjoy children so this was going to be fun. Her thoughts changed as she heard her name or at least part of her name. "Geffery, I'm doing fine and yourself?" Her eyes moved towards the child that he had come in with, "Is this your son? Hello there." She knew he had a child, but had forgotten how old he was.

She couldn't help but smile at the little boy, "Well Brody, I hope you have fun today and learn lots about this great sport." He was cute they all were.

When Saxon began talking, she stood up a bit straighter, "I guess we are on." Giving a look towards Geffrey before moving closer to the front. "Hey guys, I'm Lynnia Park and I play for the Galloway Ghouls. Yes, they stunk last year, moving on. "Today we are going to work with you to learn the best sport around, Gobstones." She was biased and didn't care. Holding up a bag of her lucky stones she pulled one out. "These become your best friends during this game. You want to know your stones and no how to move your stones. Eye coordination is a huge part of this sport." She was very much about the skills of the game. "There are enough stones for everyone to take one." She pointed to where Saxon had just mentioned.


Oh they were starting! Benton turned from Henry and paid attention to the first lady to speak. Saxon seemed to be doing an introduction, but Benton was moving on his heels to get started. He was a clam kid, but he was excited about learning a new game. "Does it matter what color stone we use?" Did they get to pick a color?

When the other lady started to talk he turned to listen. So they were going to learn eye coordination, was that it? Not as exciting as a broom, but he could really get into the challenge of hitting other people's stones. Moving towards the front he picked a stone and then waited for the next step.

Matthew turned away from his son and glanced up as a woman about his daughter's age came in. Oh, she was the person in charge and yes, he recognized the name. "It's nice to put a face with the name, Saxon," he said with a pleasant smile, offering his hand to shake. "I'm Matthew Whittebrook, I'm the owner of the Tinworth Talons." Being a newer owner of the team, he hadn't yet met her face to face, but going over paperwork with the team manager, he was familiar with who dealt with Gobstones at the Ministry. And knowing that several players on his team would be here, he noticed that Milo and Magnolia had come in to work with the younger kids, but he hadn't seen Brynja yet. "I've signed up my son, Henry, for the activities today. I'm glad your department is doing this." He thought it important for kids today to appreciate the game for what it was and all that it could be.

And it seemed that they were about ready to start. Or at least somewhat. Matthew listened to Saxon address all the kids, then he turned to Henry. "Alright, kiddo, have fun. I'll be back a little later to pick you up." It was nice that there were other kids his age too, some Henry even seemed to know. He kind of wanted to see how it would go, but he knew he didn't need to check up on his kid or his players. So, after giving Henry a pat on his shoulder, he left the daycare to take care of other things for the day.



Henry's eyes first snapped from his dad to the lady telling his dad to leave. He guessed she was in charge, but wouldn't any of the Talons be here? They were his favorite, of course. He started looking around as some other adults came in, they were Gobstones players, he knew it! He was starting to get excited now, though maybe not as excited as the boy yelling his head off. Gosh.

Turning, he smiled at a girl now talking to him (Ava). "Hi! I'm Henry," he returned the introduction, then nodded. "Yep, I love Gobstones.... do you?" He figured she must at least like them or else she wouldn't be here. And then, ohmygosh, he saw one of his friends from Quidditch Camp!! "Hi Benton!' He gave him a big grin. "Yep! My dad signed me up. I didn't know you were gonna be here either." He almost said something about his dad owning one of the teams, but his dad kept on telling him about not bragging about Quidditch and Gobstones stuff. So he kept that quiet for now.

He looked as another boy (Kirk) maybe a little younger than him came in with probably his dad. Was his dad a player? That was cool.. He smiled when the boy said hi and his name. "Hi, I'm Henry!" He started to ask about his dad, but then the lady in charge started talking again. Oooh, time to start! "I already know all that," he said to the lady, Saxon, when she said about the basics. He was a great Gobstones player! But he did like the part about fun that she said at the end. At her mention, he ran over and grabbed a swirly green colored gobstone. While he was there, he saw another boy he remember from Quidditch Camp (Cornelius) (though he didn't remember his name)! "Hi!" he grinned at him. Were they ready to get started now?

More children coming and she just realized that... She was the only girl in this club. Well, never mind. She had some guy friends so it wouldn't be really awkward. At least she's calm enough, not like a boy who was too excited so he yelled out like a maniac. Ehem, you were like that when you met Alec Summers at quidditch camp.

Henry... Okay, she's gonna remember his name. "Nice to meet you, Henry." Ava smiled to that boy. Was she excited for the lesson? To be honest, not really. She wasn't a big fan of gobstones like Teddy. "Sort of... My brother does love it and I want to beat him in this game." Her brother might be smarter but she didn't want to be defeated by him, especially in a game like this. "Besides, my mom signed us both because she thought he needs a company. " Her twin brother was quite timid and had a difficulty to socialize so their mother thought that she could accompany him. "That's my brother there." She pointed to a light-haired boy who was currently talking to a younger boy (Matthew). Oh look, he's socializing! She called out and waved at him. "Teddy!! Come here."

The brunette girl noticed another boy who greeted Henry (Benton). He's around her and Henry's age, good then. "Hey, I'm Ava." She grinned and extended her hand. More friends were better, right? Perhaps either Henry or that guy were gonna go to Hogwarts next year? Maybe they could end up in the same house! And then another boy's coming in with his father (Kirk), it seemed like his father was the gobstones player, maybe. She didn't follow this game's competition. "Hello there, Kirk. I'm Ava." She greeted him and introduced herself. "So, your dad is a gobstones player?" She asked curiously.

Okay, maybe Ava Burton was the only girl in this group but the ministry employee and some of the professional players were girls too... Women actually or female. Hehehe. "Saxon? I like your name." She complimented. And there was a female player who was from Galloway Ghouls and she said that Gobstones was the best sports ever. Pffft... For her, Quidditch is the best! So now they're gonna start since Lynnia already asked them to take a stone. She grabbed a blue one, of course. Blue is her favorite color. "Are we gonna use one stone?" She asked. While they're busy picking a stone, there's another kid coming in (Cornelius) and his dad was giving him a kiss. How sweet. She gave a small wave to that boy.

Wait, Matt thought Gobstones was boring? "Let me guess, your mother made you come?" He had been exactly like this when he was heading towards Quidditch camp. Not out of boredom, but fear. Teddy had been the one to beg his mother to take him to the gobstones club, with Ava if she wanted. When he heard about it, he knew he wanted to go. Unlike Quidditch Camp, where his mother had begged him to go. "It's so much fun! It takes real concentration to line up the moves and get the balls," he nodded. It was fun, SO much fun. Even by himself. And he shook his head "No... well, you can but it's not a rule.You might be disqualified if you did that." Should Teddy be concerned? Was he joking? How was it fun? Perhaps if it was just a light throw... "They're hard balls though, it might hurt. Unless you were trying to play catch or something, then it... might be fun."

Of course Teddy had played Gobstones before. His face became animated as he nodded, "Yes, I got a Gobstones set for my fifth birthday. It's just a simple one, I want to get one of the other sets," he explained. "So... what do you do in your free time if you don't play Gobstones?" Teddy asked. Was he a Quidditch fan like Ava? Did he read books? Go for hikes? Paint?
Matt wrinkled his nose. "Yeeeah, she said it would be a good idea and that I would make more friends." She WAS right about that last part, he'd give her that. She also said something about energy relief but that stuff made NO sense.

.....Whaaaaat. It was fun, this boy was saying. Something about concentration and lining up the moves and what even? "Oh... uh?" Matt raised an eyebrow and looked at Teddy as if he were an alien. THOUGH, if Teddy was REALLY an alien, that would be awesome and Matt was totally going to become his friend. "You should be like, an alien! That would be cool!" The boy said out of the blue. "THAT would be FUN!" Aliens were a lot more fun than Gobstones, he knew that much.

For his fifth birthday?? "How old are you now?? I'm eight." ALMOST nine. Though not really. "There are sets?" Wut. "I watch FILMS. LOTS of films. Good films. Like, like Star Wars. That's the BEST! Have you ever watched Star Wars??" IF NOT THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO TELL HIM EVERYTHING!

ANYWAY.

"HELLO!" Matt greeted the woman enthusiastically as he turned on spot to look in that general direction. ...Professionalsssss. They had professionals to help them, was Gobstones THAT hard???? Okay, maybe this could be fun! Was it dangerous?? OOOOOOOO!!! Fun. FUN!

Oh, look, that kid (Cornelius)'s dad just kissed him, HAHEHEHEHE!! Blehh. And he was already asking for help, wut. Nothing had even starteeeeddddd. "Nothing happened yet." Matt told him because he was helpful like that. And that loud kid (Brody) was being loud AGAIN! WHOA! Someone should tell him to caaalllmmm downnnnnnn. Though Matt enjoyed the loudness. So he could continue yelling and being loud, that was no problem.

COOL. TIME TO GET SOME GOBSTONES FOR THEMSELVES, YES. Matt felt like that was going to be the most fun he would have while he was there, though, so he would make the most of it. Soooooooo shoving BOTH his hands into the box, Matt pulled out a BUNCHA marbles - or Gobstoones, whatevah - and raised them like Lion King. BOOM! Cue belting out The Circle of Life.

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAATSEVAY-NYAAAAAAH ABABEEBEBABAAAAA!" Or however the words went. Okay, COOL, that had been fun. Time to go back to his place, he supposed. SO Matt went to stand next to the girl who had called out for Teddy (Ava). "Hi, I'm Matt. Matt Solo." BOOM.

"Hello Mr. Whittebrook. I'm sure your son will have lots of fun today." She said, giving the man a shake of the hand back. An if his son didn't have fun today, there were ways to improve it of course. "We've been planning this for a long time, so I do hope it's successful and that the kids enjoy themselves." The blonde added giving him a smile. She watched as he parted ways with Henry, his son, whom seemed to already be introducing himself to another girl and boy, good, he was taking initiative.

Saxon watched as the kids were already starting to talk amongst themselves and that pushed some pressure off of her. They all seemed sociable and seemed to get on well, so there was nothing to worry about there and she hoped it would make the whole experience even better. Let's make friendships happen! Suddenly, though there was a small boy by her side. "That's why you're here, to learn how to play." He knew why he was here right? He didn't need to preoccupy himself and feel odd for not knowing anything about the game beforehand. "Emmm, sweet- Cornelius, we haven't started yet." She'd only just made a quick introduction.

Apparently there was a girl whom had liked Saxon's name and she gave her a little thumbs up and smile back! That was lovely to hear, wasn't it? "Thank you!" She said towards the girl.

All the kids were getting to know each other, which was good, there was a buzzing going around the room from all the talk. Saxon wasn't sure if she should let them continue talking... as long as they paid attention or to tell them to... "PLEASE keep it to a general quiet over there. We're trying to teach how to play gobstones..." Saxon addressed the kid who'd gotten a bunch of gobstones and was doing some VERY LOUD chanting. She wasn't very good with discipline and kids, most likely because she never had a chance to interact with many beforehand.

"Please, grab some gobstones if you haven't done so already. Do not take too many, though, leave enough for the others." Saxon added to those shy ones or perhaps ones who hadn't heard her earlier. She glanced at Lynnia and let her speak, nodding her head here and there showing attention. Ok. Now, the kiddos should pay attention here. "First, you want to make your hand into a fist. After you do that make sure your thumb knuckle is tucked into your index finger." She showed them that first with her hand. "Then you're going to extend your index finger and put the gobstones in between that finger and your thumb. You can either lay down on your stomach or crouch and use your thumb finger to flick the gobstones forward." Did they get all of that? If Lynnia, Geffrey or Brynja had any advice or anything to add on now was the time, they were the experts after all, besides that, help will be there.

"If you need any help we'll be going around. You can get started." Saxon said giving them all an encouraging smile. Oh! "And another thing, do NOT flick the gobstones on each other for 'fun' purposes." Please don't.

She then returned her attention to Cornelius. "Do you think you'll still need help?"

As well, perhaps during the practicing portion of the lesson the athletes would explain what the purpose of the game was.

No one noticed the kiss, yeah?

Cornelius' eyes shifted around the room, landing on a girl (Ava) who was looking his way. Did she SEE? Did she know how to keep secrets, because they had one now. He smiled and waved at her.

Oh! They were handing out gobstones? Cornelius wanted some. He wanted the coolest ones. So while he let the pretty lady mule over his offer, he dug DEEP into the box taking out stones and sticking them back in when they weren't what he wanted.

Nope. Too blue. Nope. Not enough blue. Nope. Pink would send his manly points to SUPER negatives. FINALLY. YES. Orange gobstones with swirls of blue. He was going to kill with these.

Watch him conquer!

Oh hey! Someone was talking to him. "Hi!" he beamed, tilting his head slightly. "I think I've seen you somewhere. Do you go to Quidditch matches?" Maybe he's seen the boy (Henry) there? Or maybe they went to the same school???

His dark curls bobbed on his head as he turned toward another voice (Matt). Nothing happened yet? "We got our gobstones." He raised his orange and blue swirls one, grinning. "Things are happening." Get with the program, bro. They were starting...

Pretty lady was talking to him. Everyone shut up.

Sweet Cornelius? Oooh.

He could roll with that.

So they were starting NOW? Because his dad had made them late and he was lost. Had been, seeing as he was a GREAT listener and was catching what was being said. He made his small hand into a fist, glancing down at it then back at the instructor then back at his hand. Thumb knuckle tucked in and gobstone between them.

Having forgotten there was someone speaking, he glanced up after a while at the same time the pretty lady (Saxon) turned to him. He accidentally let go of his thumb, flicking the stone weakly up into the air. Heh. Hi. Excited much?

"Sorry. That was an accident." He smiled like nothing had happened. "I THINK I have this. Will you help me if I don't?"

A full retraction and apology… Bryn was still thinking about that even as she’d slipped inside the room where the group she was supposed to be assisting in teaching was meeting. She’d gotten to the Ministry fine, and Stasya had asked to head to her group on her own moments before she’d gotten sidetracked by the message. And the messenger, since she hadn’t known he was even there. Either way, she knew she was late, and as she’d suspected, the lesson had begun by the time she’d arrived, noticing Matthew heading the opposite direction in the corridor.

Either way, the tall blonde stayed near the outer edge of the group, observing and sidestepping the rogue gobstone one boy shot off. No need to make it known how late she was, as she slipped the envelope into her pocket for the meantime. She’d introduce herself later on. A few of the people in the room likely knew who she was, players she’d competed against, the Gobstones division person… The rest could get the introduction later on.

Lynnia was watching everything go down. The boys getting a bit out of control and the manager woman actually thinking telling them to stop would work. She hoped it would, but had little faith since it was boys. Though she had gotten started by introducing herself and starting with the basics just as Saxon had said, but just as she was to open her mouth to continue it seemed she wasn't needed after all.

Her brow raised as the manager took over again and started teaching. Hmmm, who needed Pro's when she seemed to know everything that was needed. So Lynnia set her lucky stone back in it's back and took a place against a wall. She kept her smile so the kids knew they were still doing alright, but she'd sit out the teaching for the rest of the time. It all seemed like it was taken care of and all.



"How are you Henry? This is exciting though isn't it? Have you ever played before?" He had never played and was bouncing a bit on his heels. This was exciting and they were getting stones. When he was told to grab one he took a few since the other boys seemed to be doing the same. Yep he'd follow what they were all doing.

Hearing a girl he looked up and grinned, "Hi Ava, I'm Benton. How are you?" His eyes went to Lynnia as she started to talk. Strategies and focus, hmm the ten year old could do that, though is attention slipped quickly to see another friend he had made last summer, "Cornelius" He gave a big wave towards his direction. It seemed like all the quidditch friends had come to learn gobstones as well.

How cool was that!

Cornelius sent the gobstone flying, but not dangerous in any manner, the second Saxon had spoken to him. Well, as long as she wasn't hurt or he wasn't then it was ok for that to happen. Some practicing will get the job done. "Oh, it's alright." Saxon said picking it up and holding it out to the little boy.

It seemed he had it under control, which was good start and Saxon gave up yet another thumbs up to Cornelius. "Of course I will. It's why I'm here. You can also talk to the professionals-" They knew much more than her, "If you want to see which way of getting the technique down is best to your ability. Or you can go off with the other kids." He didn't have to stick right by her, there was no rule on that. He should go have fun with them too!

Turning his stone over in his hand, Henry looked up as the lady who introduced herself as Lynnia Park of the Galloway Ghouls started talking. Hey, he knew that team too, though he couldn't help but wonder if anyone from his team was going to be there too. Dad said they might. While he was thinking this over, he turned to the girl who said her name was Ava. "Well, that's cool," he grinned. "I don't have a brother, but maybe I could beat my big sister." She was way older, so maybe not. But she was all about Quidditch so maybe not as good at Gobstones as he could be.

And as excited as he was to be here, Henry was at least equally excited that his friend Benton was here. "I'm doing great! Mhm," he nodded. "My dad owns one of the teams so we go watch them a lot and I have my own set, so I know the rules and stuff." That wasn't bragging, was it? It was just the truth and it came up so he thought it was okay. "Oh, she's on that team." He pointed to Brynja Dalgaard who just walked in, recognizing her from the games.

Oh, the boy from camp (Cornelius) recognized him too! "YES!" he exclaimed when asked about Quidditch games. "My sister plays for the Catapults." So he could have totally seen him there. "And I remember you from Quidditch Camp too." That was the best time! He squinted at the manager lady as she said how to hold the gobstone, watching her demonstration. Well, he knew how to do that... and his eyes followed Cornelius' gobstone as it flew up into the air. Oops.

Walking over to Lynnia, he practiced holding his gobstone for good measure and said, "Could you show me how to do the eye cordination thing?" Because he knew the basics, but he didn't think he knew that.
