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

"Oh god I can't with our kids," said Lily.

"Why our kids," added Molly shaking her head at them.

"Hey we're good kids," said Ron and Harry to their mothers.

Hermione: I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

Harry: Where are we? A graveyard?

"Does that look like a graveyard to you Harry,'' asked Draco.

"Shut up I was eleven leave me alone," replied Harry glaring at Draco.

Ron: This is no graveyard. [sighs] It's a chessboard. [Walks out onto the marble board and flames light, illuminating the board and GIANT players. Harry and Hermione come up with him.]

Harry: 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 three jump and back up.]

Hermione: Now what do we do?

"I thought you were smart," asked Draco.

"Cause it's fucking obvious you fucking play," said Nadia hitting her face.

"You just said a lot of fucking and I think hanging out with idiot one and idiot 2 is making you become an idiot like them," added Blaise.

"Now kids that's not nice to say," said McGonagall.

"We never said we were nice," said Nadia, Draco and Blaise at the same time.

Ron: It's obvious, isn't it? We've got to play our way across the room. All right. Harry, 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.]

Hermione: What happens now?

"Can you see what happened," asked Lily.

"No not really I was farther away from them," answered Hermione.

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

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

Ron: 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 three jump.] Yes, Hermione, I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess!

"You're really good at wizard's chess," said Arthur very proud of his son.

"Thanks dad," replied Ron smiling proudly.

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

Ron: Castle to E-4! [Smash!]
