"I see there's an interesting bunch of first years this year," Albus commented when Minerva joined him for their usual game of chess.

"Just be thankful the Weasley twins haven't started yet," Minerva said vaguely as she contemplated her next move, "I'm dreading the day they arrive."

"You and I know full well that you can cope with any pupil, no matter how troublesome."

"Yes well, Molly has been giving me warnings, and she's told me to get into practice now," Minerva replied, blushing slightly.

"Speaking of first years," Albus began as he cunningly took Minerva's Queen, "I think Miss Clareight is the only pupil I have ever seen cross her fingers for luck at a sorting."

"She did?"

"There's something familiar about her."

"What?"

"I'm not sure, she looks familiar..." However, Minerva wasn't listening, and a broad smile crept onto her face, as she looked triumphantly at Albus.

"I think that's what they call 'checkmate'."

"I demand a rematch."

"Just so I can beat you again..."
