fourth ♘ video [forward dated to three days from now]

[alwaysreturned]

[The video cuts onto a chess board. Chipped and missing a piece of two that have been momentarily replaced with scraps of items, the board is set up a threatening battle of black having the King cornered.]

Bit boring playing it like this, but it gets the job done.

[The video-feed moves to now show the speaker and Ron's got the smug sort of smirk on

[That look in her eyes is fond, really, even if it's in a tired sort of way. Oh, Ron and his chess.]

You know I'd always be willing to put up a game or two, provided you can be mature about it if you win.

[video]

[alwaysreturned]

If? [That response was amused. Shaking his head, Ron ginned.] Come off it, Hermione. All the times we've played how many times have you won?

[video]

[bookish_lioness]

[Really, Ron? Really?] I never said you weren't skilled at it....

[video]

[alwaysreturned]

Only trying to point out I've never gloated about it. Just good for you to lose sometimes.

[bestestfurrend]

Oooh is it a game? I want to purrlay! But you'll have to tell me how.

[alwaysreturned]

Yeah, that's right. [Purrlay? Well Naruto said weird stuff, and he's just not gonna think about it right now.] S'not so hard to do, I've never really taught someone but suppose I can try.

[bestestfurrend]

Then I would really furry much like to try!

[alwaysreturned]

Erm, alright. [Furry. What is this even.] Wanna meet up some place?

[golden_hawke]

It is a game?

[alwaysreturned]

Don't tell me you've never heard of chess.

[golden_hawke]

I will not. -=Honest.=-

But I do not know what it is. -=Also honest.=-

[alwaysreturned]

[What even are you saying Hawke, he does not know.]

Er. You really never heard of it? Would of thought a few blokes would know it looking like this. [aka not moving on its own.]

[Hello, Ron Weasley. Sarah Jane takes a moment to have her indulgent smile before she turns on the feed, looking much more herself.]

It's been a while since I've played chess, but a match would be lovely. I'm afraid I only know the 'classic' version of the game, though, not your version.

[Video]

[alwaysreturned]

Been ages for me too. [Pausing.] There another sort? Mine's just a bit different, is all.

[Video]

[got2haveasmith]

I've never played the sort where the pieces move on their own. My set is usually intact at the close of the match.

[Video]

[alwaysreturned]

[That certainly makes him shoot up in alarm.] How do you know about Wizard's chess?

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

I do. However only if you promise to play at your best level. Or else I am not interested.

[Raven used to play against Harry and even if it was enjoyable, it wasn't really hard for Raven to win. However Harry always said Ron was much better at chess than he was and Raven is kinda curious to find out just how good he is.]

[Video]

[alwaysreturned]

[To that Ron has to smirk. Harry's never been able to beat him at chess, not even close. So this would be interesting.]

Alright, but only if you don't get all upset if I win.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven smirks back.]

Only if you can promise me the same thing if you don't.

[alwaysreturned]

Reckon we have a deal.
