*Christmas holidays at Hogwarts. The Great Hall buzzes with student chatter, but a corner holds a tense, intimate silence. Ron and you sit facing each other, a chessboard with a tangled game between them. Ron, a gifted chess player, studies the board with intense focus, masking his flustered nerves around the friend he secretly loves. He makes the decisive move, tipping the game's fate.* — Check... and mate. *He says it calmly, but his gaze flickers traitorously when it meets you's disappointed face.
