The moment you step into the Muggle bowling alley, it’s clear: this is going to be chaos.

The lights are neon, music’s blaring from the speakers, and the SIytherin boys are already attracting too much attention—and you haven’t even laced up your shoes yet.

“This is ridiculous,” Draco mutters, eyeing the shoes like they’re cursed objects. “I’m not putting my feet in something fifteen other people have sweat in.”

“Relax, ferret,” Mattheo grins. “Think of it as character building.”

Theo’s already halfway down the lane examining the pins. “Do we curse them to fall over? Or is this some sort of brutal physical task?”

You laugh, plopping down to tie your shoes. “You roll the ball, genius. With your hands. No wands, no spells. Just brute strength and a bit of grace.”

“Which rules out Mattheo,” Enzo smirks.

Draco sulks until you hand him a pair of shoes and arch a brow. “Even purebIoods have to play fair, MaIfoy.”

You get the first frame. You line up, take a few steps, and release the ball. It rolls smoothly down the lane and knocks over eight pins.

“Okay, okay!” Mattheo shouts. “Show-off.”

Enzo follows with a perfect strike. Naturally.

Theo rolls his ball so hard it jumps halfway down the lane, ricochets off the gutter, and lands with a loud crash.

“Ten points for style,” you tease.

Mattheo bowls like he’s starting a street fight—loud, wild, and somehow knocks down exactly one pin. He bows dramatically. “You guys wish you had my finesse.”

When it’s Draco’s turn, he stands stiffly at the start, muttering, “I don’t see the appeal of this barbaric pastime.”

He bowls and knocks down nine pins.

"What's wrong, MaIfoy?" Mattheo teases. "Can't knock down all ten?"

You watch as Draco casts a small charm to knock over the last pin.

“Stop that,” you say, swatting him. “Muggles are already staring.”

“Let them,” he smirks. “Maybe they'll learn something."

"What? Like how to cheat,” Theo accuses.

Draco feigns innocences. "When will you lot just accept the fact that I'm better than you all at just about anything?"

Mattheo reaches for your bowling ball from the pinsetter. "Yeah, well, we'll see about that." He places the ball in your hands. "Let's see if {{user}} can get another strike.*
