headcanons for marauders + lily and bowling?

padfootprongsandco:

I’m assuming you mean ten pin and not lawn bowls or something

  • so let’s get one thing straight
  • Lily Evans was freaking amazing at bowling
  • like
  • we’re talking about a girl who has been practicing technique and bowling for years with her dad
  • so whenever she went bowling with the marauders
  • she basically kicked their arses
  • while Sirius and James would get flashy with technique and do really awesome looking bowls and everything
  • Lily kept it simple and averaged about 4 strikes per game
  • Peter was really sly when it came to bowling though
  • he would make it look like he was losing for like the first half
  • but then he would totally show his friends who’s boss getting strikes and spares all over the place
  • like
  • Peter was almost as good as Lily when it came to bowling, and would rub that in the others’ faces whenever they played
  • Remus wasn’t a big fan of bowling
  • he liked the friendly competition and everything
  • but he wasn’t very good at it
  • he was a huge fan of the ramps (which the children usually needed)
  • the staff at the bowling alley usually gave him amused looks whenever he asked for one
  • this led to some friendly ribbing from his mates
  • but at least he could bowl in a straight line
  • Sirius was absolute crap at bowling
  • Like, man, you can’t get any worse
  • he would try to make his bowl look really amazing
  • but then he would accidentally get the bowling ball into the next lane
  • or throw it up into the air in the middle of his exaggerated windmill
  • breaking a light fitting probably
  • people liked to stay far away from him when it was his turn
  • the employees at the bowling alley didn’t like him at all
  • James was alright at bowling
  • he wasn’t bad, but he wasn’t amazing at it
  • he was quite comfortable with his averageness at bowling
  • he had good aim and coordination and all that
  • but sometimes not enough force and that tended to bring down his score
  • (also Sirius poking him in the sides just when he was about to let go of the ball didn’t help)
