Severus sullenly watched as Harry happily laced up the worn shoes that countless amounts of people had worn before without regard of what may or may not be living in the said shoes. He sat in one of the hard chairs while Harry picked up a few different weighted bowling balls until the right one was found. Harry crossed his arms when he noticed that Severus hadn't joined him and frowned as his fun was dampened slightly at the lack of energy that his lover put forth into their outing.

"Severus, could you at least try to have a little bit of fun today? Honestly, you look like you are ready to battle Voldermort all over again," Harry asked, exasperated already. Severus kicked off his own shoes and screwed up his face when the blue and red shoes slipped over his toes. Harry dropped to his knees and slowly tied the laces which caused a smile to break across both of their faces at the insinuation of the scene. "See, this isn't so bad now is it? Now come on up here and I'll show you how to actually play the game."

"I think this is rather silly. I would much rather curl up on the couch with my book than throw a ten pound ball down an overly polished hardwood floor at some pins. What is the point of bowling anyway other than to waste precious time that could be wisely spent other where," Severus cracked. Harry smacked him in the stomach in reprimand at the comment before entering their names into the computer system. Harry picked up the bowling ball and pitched it down the lane with obvious practiced ease of having bowled before. Severus watched on as the ball connected with the stack of pins, forcing six of them to be knocked over which elicited an excited from Harry. Severus was ushered from the chair towards the ball retrieval area where a few different colored balls sat. He picked a lighter one and awkwardly through it which promptly landed in the gutter after just a few seconds. Harry hid his face behind his hands as he laughed wildly at Severus' irritated expression at not besting Harry's throw.

"Well, that was just the first frame. You have nine more to do better, Severus and I'm sure that you'll hit something eventually," Harry soothed lightly. Severus kissed his neck before Harry went for his next turn, flustering the smaller boy enough to cause him a gutter ball as well.

"Better luck next time, right?"
