Situated on the South Side of the Street you can find a rather hip spot: the Shrunken Head Bowling Alley. You heard that right: shrunken heads. There are no muggle bowling balls here. The shrunken heads have opinions and aren't shy to taunt and tell you if you are rubbish. Be aware too that the bowling pins have a tendency to suddenly disappear, move or reappear when you least want them to. Whether you're part of one of the leagues or if you're a social player, come on in: this is the perfect place to kick back with your mates and have a laugh.
The first thing you notice upon entering the bowling alley is the flashing banner right above the counter indicating that this is where the most important person of this establishment is and where you should go first. The counter has the perfect spot, overseeing all the other areas of the bowling alley, so don't try to sneak your way past. A little further down the counter, you can find the Snack Bar, should you feel hungry. It is also overseen by the shopkeeper, which is why the two are directly connected to each other so they can easily offer assistance at both in just a few steps.
Beyond the counter and snack bar awaits the bowling lanes, divided up into three sectors: One to Four, Five to Eight and Nine to Twelve. Even from here you can hear distinct shouts from one of the bowling balls, telling whoever just threw it what a terrible player they are and that they are probably better off going home and knitting a pair of nice woolen socks. Should you not be that much into bowling, make sure to check out the Gaming Corner slightly to the left of the bowling lanes. A small variety of games have been set up, providing you and your friends with an alternative to bowling.

'Thanks so much! When I was younger, I practiced a lot.'' After Winnie's turn, she went back to the table to eat another slice of pizza. She devoured the slice in her mouth as she watched him. At least he was having fun.
”So tell me a little about yourself, Winnie. Do you have a family or children? I’d love for you to meet my wife sometime. Our fist and only child just started at Hogwarts this year. We are so proud of him. ” Damocles said, once he had sat down. He looked over at Winnie, awaiting her response.

"Well isn't that nice. I'm so glad you have family around. That is a very special thing indeed. We simply must have you ALL over to our Villa sometime for a sumptuous dinner. Both my wife and I cook, so you needn't worry about starving. And plus, I would be delighted to meet your siblings as well." Damocles told Winner, engaged and smiling at her.

That'll be lovely. I'm sure they be delighted to meet you as well. Said Winnie as she took her last slice of pizza eating slowly.

"Well then its settled. We have a large multi-family dinner. Now I did just acquire a new position at the Ministry, so I will have to double check my schedule before we can set a date. But I will be sure to send you an owl so we can coordinate." Damolces told his bowling partner.
It was the last frame. Damolces stepped up to the mouth of the bowling lane and took his first shot. To his astonishment, he got his very first strike of the whole game. While he was very excited, the emotion he was feeling most strongly was surprise. He turned back to Winnie, mouth hanging open, and just stared in shock.

That sounds good to me. I just acquired a new position in The Ministry as well. I'm excited to start working. Winnie watched Damolces take his turn. She was in total shock that he had gotten his first strike. Then Winnie clapped her hands congratulating him.

"Oh, I'm delighted to hear it. Which department are you working for?" Damocles asked politely.

I'm working in the Department of Magical Transportation She said smiling as she got up and took her turn as she grabbed the ball and swung at the pins as she knocked down 6 pins. Then took her second turn and knocked the rest of the pins down.
"Wow that really wonderful." Damocles said to Winnie. "That's a really great department. You are going to do so great there. Well, I think that's the game. And look......you beat me. Congratulations. Well played, Winnie. We should do this again sometime. Although, I'll probably see you around the Ministry before too long. Good day to you." he said, tipping his head in a respectful gesture.
