WHO: Lily & James Potter WHERE:Pinz Bowling Center WHEN: Monday, October 24; afternoon WHAT: A date and a lesson in Muggle sports. RATING: TBD STATUS: thread; in-progress
The recognizable rumble and crash of rolling balls and falling pins reached Lily's ears as she stepped into the main room of the bowling alley and looked around. They had caught the sport on the telly the other day, James declaring it boring and nothing that required any real talent, Lily subsequently challenging him to put his Galleons where his mouth was, so to speak. Just because it wasn't magic and didn't involve brooms didn't mean there wasn't some skill to Muggle sports, which seemed to be James' popular opinion about everything on the sports channels.
Lily turned to see if James had follow her in or was still inspecting the arcade games near the door. Somehow games both video and machine didn't fall into the Muggles sports category, though she couldn't entirely fathom why that was.
"Will you want bumpers for the lane, love? They put them in the dips to make it easier for the little tykes to hit the pins, but they're 'available upon request' to everyone."
