When Snape heard the sound outside his door, his mood sank and he fought off an urge to fling the closest beaker against the far wall. He recognized well the scuffling sound of golem feet, the thump of a note being stuck to his door, and the subtle sound of his teeth grinding. Group activities. He hated them. He still remembered the painful nightmare of being forced to pick grapes and crush them between his toes. He also remembered, however, how useless it had been to resist, how he had been dragged kicking and screaming like a child to the vineyard. Opting out was not an option.

Going to the door to collect his "invitation", he shuddered anew when he read that he was to go bowling. Though he was not an avid player of recreational games, he was familiar with the game of boules and understood bowling to be a muggle adaptation of it. Furthermore, his walks through the common building had resulted in his awareness of the existence of a facility there designed for the accommodation of the pastime. Throwing on the clothes he had taken off the night before, he summoned a pumpkin pasty and headed for the main lodge. Best to get this nonsense over with.

The bowling alley, an odd room if he had ever seen one, was empty of other participants when he arrived. As he looked over the layout of the lanes and gutters, an attending golem handed him a pair of ugly muggle shoes and pointed to a bench. Snape assumed he was meant to wait for the others.

Snape rolled his eyes when Michiru put on her shoes and patronizingly explained the inevitability of the situation; he glared fiercely at Dean, when he accused them of being secret principessal lovers; but he quickly made a show of putting on the hideous shoes and striding onto the alley floor once he saw Jareth make his stand. Something about the petulant way the self-proclaimed Goblin King refused the immovable will of the planet and its golems helped Snape see just how ridiculous his behaviour had been. He sneered at Jareth as the golem let him pass.

Moving to the alley that had clearly been designated for this day's activity, Snape examined the extensive muggle gadgetry that had been installed to compensate for the lack of magical means. There was a trough containing large black balls, a long wooden surface to take the place of the usual grass lawn, and a series of pins at the end. Snape realized this was not exactly boules. The goal here must be to knock down pins in some combination. Surely it couldn't be as simple as just knocking them all down...
