"Checkmate!" exclaimed a beaming Ron. "That's the fifth time you've beat me, Ron. I think you're the champion." laughed Harry.

"Come on one more game?" Pleaded Ron. Harry shook his head as he spotted Hermione, making her way over to them.

"I'll play you." Came a voice from behind Ron.

Walking over and sitting next to Harry a smirking Julie set up the pieces as Harry slid over, making room for her.

"Not a single Gryfindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff can beat me." Ron boasted. "We'll just see about that now wont we?" Julie said watching her pawn slice Ron's pawn in half with a quick slash of its two swords.


The game went on for many many grueling hours. Ron blinked, having only a few moves left.

"Your turn." she said, grinning at him. "King To E5." he choked out.

With an evil smirk set upon her face, Julie made her last move. "Queen to E1." Ron gluped, it was cheakmate anywhere he moved.

"You...beat me." he said amazed. "No ones ever beaten me..." he stared at her, mouth ajar. Grinning she stood up. "Good game." Was all she said, then turned exeting the common room.

"No ones ever beaten me!" Ron cried out. Harry laughed; Hermione rolled her eyes. "It's just a game Ron. It dosen't really matter."

"Yes it does." He grumbled putting the chess set away.
