2nd Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

Them hockey players just happened to be on the television again when George  - and Beka-the-terrier - wandered down to the Common Room.   It was a shock, really, and totally not planned at all.

Beka flopped down on the couch, covering her eyes with her paws.  George didn't much mind that as it meant for once she wasn't trying to bite him for something she'd decided he was doin' wrong.  Being bitten would have distracted him from watching the little men skate around the ice.

Kyle leaned forward. "You've put way too much thought into this."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Tis a sayin'!" George argued, making a face at him. "I don' even have a sister."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Then someone's put way too much thought into kissing their sister!" He looked back at the TV. "Why's no one scoring?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Cause their big guys in the net are good," he said. "See, th' guy in red? They call him th' Wizard."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Think he's really a wizard?" Kyle wondered aloud.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," George admitted. "Probably not, y'know? They don' seem t'have mages and th' like in th' game."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"He must be pretty good to get called a wizard if he's not then," Kyle decided.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Or they could call 'em a wizard t'mock 'em," he suggested. "But I'm not thinkin' that's it."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Kyle watched as the game went to the shootout. "Did the game change rules all of a sudden? There's only one guy and the Wizard on the ice."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"If they end up tied, they have t'shoot until one of th' teams has more goals," George explained. "Tis stupid really."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"That seems pointless, like the rest of the game doesn't matter as long as you can go one on one to get past that guy."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Luckily he's th'Wizard," George pointed out, grinning as the guy in red came up with a nice save. "But still, what's th'point of bein' a team if it all comes down t'this in th' end?"

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Kyle nodded in agreement. "It doesn't come down to the team playing, just that one guy."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"They do say it's new," he said. "I don' know why they changed it."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Probably money." Kyle leaned back into the comfy chair. "It's usually money." The TV told him so.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Y'd think th' Wizard would be wantin' more money if he's got t'save th'games like that," George said thoughtfully.

"Oh, aye, I did tell ye I'd introduce ye t'Beka one day?" he remembered, pointing to the puppy. "That's her there."

Kyle craned his neck to get a better look and raised a hand to wave. "Hey Beka." He looked back at George. "I'm guessing she's not always a dog?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"She's always a Dog," George said, capitalisation evident. "But usually she do be human shaped."

Beka looked put upon though she barked a greeting at Kyle.

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"And you're looking after her?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"So it seems," he said. "She won' be comin' to Luke's or nothin'."

Because somethings were boys only.

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"You think she'll really stay like that that long? That'd be weird being an animal so long." Apparently being an animal at all wasn't weird.

"She's been one a week already," George said. He eyed the dog worriedly. "Maybe she'll be one all th' rest o' th'year."
