Chapter fifteen

Wizard's Chess/Man with two faces

(Not edited)

A/N: I kinda rush through this chapter so I apologize for any errors I plan on editing this soon but we're almost done with year 1 just one more chapter after this one :)

[They enter a dark room, with broken pieces all around it.]

"I don't like this. I don't like this at all."

"You could say that again," primrose grumbles

"Where are we? A graveyard?" (A/N: not yet harry, year four tho.)

Ron shakes his head, "This is no graveyard." He sighs "It's a chessboard."

Ron Walks out onto the marble board and flames light, illuminating the board and GIANT players. The twins and Hermione come up with him.

"There's the door."

[They walk across the board, towards the door. Suddenly, as they reach a line of pawns, the pawns bring up their swords. The four jump and back up.]

"Now what do we do?" Hermione whispers neverourusly

"It's obvious, isn't it? We've got to play our way across the room. All right. Harry, Primrose, you take the Bishop's square. Hermione, you'll be the Queen's side castle. As for me, I'll be a knight."

[They all take their places.]

"What happens now?"

Ron aboard a horse. "Well, white moves first, and then...we play." A pawn on the other side moves forward. Ron studies the game.

"Ron, you don't suppose this is going to be like...real wizard's chess, do you?" Primrose ask

"You there! D-5!" A black pawn moves forward, diagonal to the white pawn. The white pawn raises its swords and smashes the black one. The four jump.

"Yes, primrose, I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess!"

"Why couldn't they just have a regular school year!" Whines Remus, absolutely terrified

[The game continues. Pieces smash each other, boom! Boom!]

"Castle to E-4!" [Smash!]

"Pawn to C-3!" [Smash! Boom! The Queen turns, and smashes a piece! Harry, Ron and Hermione wince.]

The Queen turns again. Both Ron and Harry study the game.

"Wait a minute."

"You understand right, Harry. Once I make my move, the Queen will take me...then you'll be free to check the King."

"He's going to get hurt! Or killed!" Molly yells as Arthur try's to calm her

"No, Ron! No!" The twins shout

Hermione looks at them confused, "What is it?"

"He's going to sacrifice himself!" Primrose answers her

Hermione shakes her head, "No, Ron, you can't!" Ron closes his eyes. "There must be another way!"

He turns to face Hermione. "Do you want to stop Snape or not? Primrose, Harry, it's you that has to go on. I know it. Not me, not Hermione, you two. [the twins nods.] "Knight...to H-3."
