Where students can partake in a sophisticated game of Swivenhodge
Rather like tennis on a broom, this involved hitting an inflated pig's bladder backwards and forwards across a hedge. PLayers sit backwards on their brooms to play. First to 50 wins. points gained if opponent doesn't manage to hit the bladder.

"Have you ever seen anyone playing this shit, Anti?" Octavia said as they strolled across the hedge, they were not having any classes at that moment so she decided to go for some fresh air in privacy, and since few played Swivenhodge, specially that time of the day, that was the perfect place.

"My mother plays it." Antioch said, lying in the shade of the hedge, not rising at the nickname. "I heard the minister of Magic loves it, but I also heard she was about a thousand years old, so that is probably why. "Do you know how to play?"

"Something to do with a pig bladder... Don't know." Although boss to the Minister of Magical Sports her father had never encouraged her to play, nor learn about sports in general... He used to say it was for vagabonds who didn't value work. Of course, he was not happy to learn that she had joined the quidditch team some years prior, but he hadn't been happy with her since a long time ago.
Octavia had now produced her wand out of it's sheath and proceeded to train several complicated movements for the dueling club, that involved not only spell motions but also dodges and parries.
"Have you seen Aurelia today?" She asked, her breath already getting heavier from the exercise.

"I have not seen her, but I think she is seeing my brother," he admitted with a shrug, rolling onto his side to watch. He did plenty of his own practice on his own.
"You play by hitting it back and forth... you need to stop it hitting the ground... easy really." Antioch said, playing with a bit of grass, "When you explain it... it does sound pretty boring."

"Hmpf." Octavia snorted, she was not really fond of Antioch's brother, much less of Aurelia getting close to him.
"It does." The Goldmann girl shrugged, and after a couple more movements she stopped and stared at Antioch.
"Stop being lazy, get your arse here... I need a target."

"Your words are hardly inspiring me to get up and practice with you, if you're just going to use me as target practice." He said, closing his eyes to the sun, a strand of hair falling into his eyes as he moved his head, then he grinned "hardly fitting behaviour for the prefect."

"If I said otherwise I'd be lying." Octavia teased, a naughty smile across her lips.
"Don't be a fool. Come!" She giggled, grabbing his hand and pulling him to get up.

Antioch barely resisted as he was pulled to his feet and lazily got out his wand, he was not going to enjoy this much, he could already tell.

"Come on, It's going to be fun!" Octavia said, taking some distance from him. "Do you want to be the best? Then you have to train, I won't let grow slothful and fat."
"Now, show me what you've got!" She said, a girlish smile in her lips and her wand at hand. She liked his grumpy company, maybe even more than she actually should.

"I don't want to attack you, Octavia," Antioch said, but raised his wand, looking uncomfortable. He drew ha wand arm back and fired a simple stunning spell. |

"You can do better than that!" Octavia said, casting a nullyfying spell. "I need you to do better than that."
"I know exactly what you need." She grinned, that grin that only a child about to purposely break his mother's vase can give. "Rictumsempra!"

Antioch was caught very much off guard by that, and started laughing immediately, soon having to hold his sides as they began to hurt. "Stop! Stop!" He said through giggles? The counter spell not coming to him.

"Finite!" Octavia casted, approaching Antioch, offering him a hand to get back up and a wide smile.
"You should do that more often. It brings the best out of you..." Her eyes meeting his, she felt an urge to giggle but thought best to supress it, he'd probably be grumpier than ever now. "You look cute when you smile."

"Shut up," he said, but ducked his head to hide his smile, "I should learn how to cast shields faster, so it never happens again," he accepted her hand, "you don't look as if you need more practice, are you in the duelling club?"
