The cold winter boils the halls, which are usually not very crowded, and in addition to those who often study and do their homework here, there are also more people who chat, play board games, cards, and chess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General!" Ron's excited voice could be heard clearly in the noisy hall, and it was a place where he could gain confidence and glory for someone who had been frustrated in his studies.

Harry sighed as he watched the queen smash her knight to pieces, what a lot of work it was.

"This is too brutal!" Hermione saw the wizard chess game for the first time, and couldn't believe it when she saw the three cute chess pieces make such brutal movements.

With a satisfied smile on Ron's face, he pointed his wand at the chessboard, and the broken little man came back to its place in black and white.

"Well, let's have a game, this is a method of exercising intelligence that has been handed down in the wizarding world since Merlin's time. Ron didn't notice Cadibel's hopeless look when he spoke.

"Oh, Ron, do you know the rules of Hogwarts" Percy happened to pass by with Shimizu, and heard that his brother was going to challenge Xiwen's wizarding chess.

"Are there any special rules? Oh, you mean the order of challenges?" replied, poking his head in thought.

"Yes, the rules of Hogwarts Wizarding are the same as normal Wizarding Chess, but the rules of the challenge are different, you must win your own house before you can challenge the winner of another house. And, Siwen, was last year's Wizard Chess Trophy winner. Percy shook his head, "Honestly, you haven't even been to see our Gryffindor common room so close to the trophy showroom?"

"Why bother—I just want to play a game of chess. ”――

When it was time to eat, Siwen returned to the Ravenclaw bench near the wall and sat down, and the girl with long black and smooth hair on the side looked at Siwen with bright eyes, "Are you torturing those poor opponents again?" Look, that Weasley looked pale and loveless. Can't you show a little mercy?"

"Obviously, I have already said that I will not participate in the Wizard Chess Cup this year, hey, although I am not in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are full of my legends. Come on, you're a Ravenclaw wizard chess seed, Autumn. Sitting next to him is Qiu Zhang, whose father immigrated to the United Kingdom, and the unique atmosphere from the big eastern country has not been washed away by the British wind.

"Chang Swift, you also said that you don't know martial arts! Weasley's entire family of sixteen chess pieces were slaughtered by you, and finally used checkmate, and you still said that you can't" Qiu Zhang suddenly shouted this line, and then laughed himself. This line was produced in the early years of the Internachonel and the film and television giants in the big eastern countries. Qiu's father and the elders of Chinatown liked to watch it, although the little girl didn't quite understand it, and from time to time she was covered by children inappropriately, but she still remembered this line that made adults laugh every time.

Xiwen tilted his head to look at the girl, until he saw Qiu Zhang's face slightly red, staring at a pair of big eyes: "What are you looking at!"

"Qiu Zhang, you're beautiful—" Xiwen looked at the girl affectionately, and added before the girl could react, "Beautiful as a flower." ”

"Ahh

"Ahem, eat, don't mess around, it's easy to indigestion or choke. ”

"Eat and eat, eat you. Qiu Zhang decisively changed his seat and stayed away from Xiwen, out of sight and out of mind.

――

"Tut-tut, what a poor brother"

"Fool かなる brother よ"

At the Gryffindor table, the Weasley twins mercilessly whipped Ron, who had lost his soul. "I'm so miserable - how can this man play chess like this, there is not a single piece of sixteen pieces left, and in the end he still uses it to checkmate. ”

"This-" Fred seemed to say something, but George suddenly stopped him, "Fred, are you sure you want to hit our brother further?"

"Say it, I don't have anything to fight now, anyway. Ron, though pale, still gulped the food on the table into his mouth.

"Xiwen - it was the first contact with wizard chess last year, that is, there was a poor guy like you who invited him to play wizard chess, and then Xiwen played chess while learning, except for the first game and the person who played against him was lucky not to be all eaten, unless he surrendered halfway, the people behind were all eaten sixteen chess pieces, plus checkmate, so Xiwen is called - killing the whole family"

At meal time, looking at the owls who had braved the wind and snow to reach the hall, little Hermione seemed to be very excited, and she waited for a while, and a Hogwarts common owl flew in front of her. Glancing cautiously that no one noticed her, Hermione quickly opened the envelope and looked inside. This is a reply to the letter she sent to her parents two days ago.

The little girl covered the outside of the letter with her hand, read it quickly, smiled brightly, folded the letter and put it back in her pocket, and looked at the Ravenclaw side.

After eating, it seemed that they had become accustomed to it, and the two of them met at the door, and then—

"Hermione—"

"Western—"

"You say first—"

"You say first—"

Hermione clenched the envelope inside her robes and looked at Sivin with a slightly red face, "Well, it's nothing, it's just- ask me if you have any plans for Christmas? You can come to my house with Sister Alice." Mom said that she hadn't thanked you properly for showing us the way and giving us things when we were in Diagon Alley. ”

"An invitation from the future mother-in-law?" Xiwen instantly felt a part of the muscles in his waist twist against common sense. Hermione's face flushed and glared at Siwen viciously.

The girl was apprehensive that she had invited someone to her home for dinner for the first time. Siwen gave an apologetic expression, causing Hermione's heart to sink, and the girl clutched the corners of her clothes. "I'd love to~ my lady" Xiwen suddenly smiled and rubbed the little girl's long hair, which finally looked a little neater. However, the girl's expression did not seem to be surprised, but a puffing little female tiger, and Hermione sharpened her increasingly sharp tiger teeth, glared at Siwen fiercely, and kicked Siwen in the ankle.

"Hermione, I was trying to ask you," said Sivin in a whisper, "I have a little party over there, and I'd like to invite you to join Mrs. Granger, Mr. Granger. ”

"Then let's go back and see the specific schedule. ”

"Harry, are you really not going back?" asked Sivin to little Harry, "you can come to my house." ”

"No, I'm going to take a good spin around Hogwarts. ”

"Goodbye then~"
