Hermione's mum played squash ever Saturday. Had done for years now. Was in a club and everything. The mention of this at dinner on Friday had been what made Hermione think of squash. As an activity, that is. She had played it a few times with her mum and found it a curious sport. That, in turn, had made Hermione invite Arran to play it with her. The owl she'd sent him had asked if he wanted to go an play on Sunday. Hermione knew Arran had had a game on Friday, and thus had presumed he would be unlikely to want to do much sporting activity on Saturday. Sunday, though, seemed like enough of a break.
They'd met at the building that had the courts Hermione's mother used. She'd recommended them and Hermione had felt no need to therefore look elsewhere. It was probably never going to bode well for Hermione to play against a professional athlete. But then, Hermione had only ever played squash against her mother and she always lost those games, too. So losing this was unlikely to be a surprise. Hermione did, however, think, that squash was a game she could at least put some competition into. It was hardly as if she was awful at it.
"Have you played before?" She asked Arran as they picked up the rackets. Hermione was sure that even if Arran hadn't, he'd still win. If he had, though, Hermione stood zero chance. Hopefully, it would still be entertaining enough.
