Chapter 5:
The
Champion: Part 3 – The End
Mrs. Weasly thought to herself, 'Arthur's right about this
Malfoy fellow. He has some nerve!' She looked rather angry at Mr. Malfoy's
arrival. "I hope Ronny doesn't loose
his temper," she mumbled to herself.
At that very same moment, Luscious Malfoy was talking to
the judges with a very angry tone. "The
boy won fair and square! That Weasly
boy cheated! He must have switched
Draco's pieces or something! Draco here
said none of his pieces would listen. That boy probably hexed the set!" Mr. Malfoy looked like he would start a fight with the judges if he
didn't get his way.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, but the boy's pieces didn't listen
because they didn't trust him yet! It
is all part of the game, as any good player knows!" said a judge.
This seemed to make the Malfoys very mad. "Are you calling my son a bad player? I bet he has more talent in one of his toes
than that Weasly abomination has in his whole body!" said Malfoy. "If I have to, I can get the governors of
this school to restart the entire tournament. It's all up to us." Actually, it
would all be up to Mr. Malfoy, as he threaten and bribe the other governors,
and has in the past.
Ron stepped in the middle. "Actually, Mr. Malfoy, I have proof that I did not hex the set," he
said, rather irritated. "First, I am
only in second year and don't know how to hex the set not to listen to
Malfoy. Also, my want has been
backfiring all year, so it probably would have taken more than one try to
perform the hex. After that, I surely
would have been noticed."
Mr. Malfoy pointed a finger at Ron. "See, that is the type of excuse making a
horrible little child like this does daily. I would like to see how you're wand has been backfiring, Weasly.
"Fine," replied Ron, with much bitterness. Ron tried to perform a Jelly-Legs-Jinx on Draco, but the spell accidentally hit him. By this time, Harry and Hermione had come down to see what was happening.
"How dare you accuse Ron of cheating! That liar Malfoy would cheat, not Ron!" she yelled, with wand pointed at Draco. Suddenly, Hermione performed a hex that caught Draco off-guard, and he fell to the ground.
"You'll pay for this, mudblood!" he cried.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Expelliarmus!"
"Expelliarmus!"
Ron, Harry, and
Hermione had all tried do disarm someone at the same time. Luscious Malfoy, Draco, and Ron suddenly
found themselves without wands (Ron's disarming spell hit himself).
Thankfully, Professor
McGonall entered the room. "Enough! Potter, Weasly, Granger- detention!" said a very
angry transfiguration teacher. "Mr. Malfoy! Please leave and we can discuss this once the match is over.
"Thankfully
that's over," said Ron. "We can get
this match over with."
Finally,
Ron sat down to play the seventh year wizard. The match wasn't long. Ron's
seventh year opponent, though very skilled, became overexcited and overlooked
some things (genuinely). The match
ended after the seventh year missed an opportunity to castle and save his
king.
With
his magically magnified voice, Dumbledore announced, "The winner of the first
annual Hogwarts Wizard Chess Trounament is Ronald Weasly! He will receive 700 galleons, a new chessboard,
and a new chess set compliments of Wizard Chess Supplies in Hogsmeade.
Congratulations, Mr. Weasly!"
Mrs.
Weasly was ecstatic. "Ronny, what are
you going to do with the money?" she asked, excitedly.
"I'm giving it to you and dad, mum," Ron replied.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter is a little weird or
rushed. I had a little bit of a hard
time thinking of what to do in this chapter. Don't worry; I have a clear idea for the last chapter, "Aftermath" is
going to be like. Also, if you want,
you can check out my other (in)famous stories and review them. Last, I am thinking of what to write for my
next HP fic. I'm thinking about a chess
tournament in a different year, a story about after Hogwarts focusing on Ron,
or a story about after Hogwarts focusing on Harry. These are the only HP stories that I really have ideas
about. What do you think? Tell me in a review.
